Chapter 800 - Private island (2/2)

She closes the door and stares the man down. Her left palm stuck out to him as if she was stopping him, and she corrects herself.

”No, let me rephrase that. How many islands do you NEED?”

She emphasized the word 'need,' which caused Lu Tian to let out a chuckle. The image of her stumbling out of the car was still replaying in his head, but he quickly discards it.

”I have five around the world. This is one of them. As to why I need them, they're for personal use.”

He walks to the back of the car and opens the trunk. He was just about to reach for their bags but stops. He pokes his head from behind the car to look at his wife.

”And no. I've never brought anyone here. You're the first.”

His words fell with nothing but the truth as he returns to get their bags.

”Steward Bao should have left the door unlocked. It's cold tonight, so you should go in first.”

Yue Ling was even more baffled by Lu Tian's words. One corner of her mouth twitched as she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

She didn't even think if he had ever brought anyone here, so would he say something like that?

Quickly as the question came to her, her eyes widen, and she finally understood. He was teasing her, probably trying to see if she will get jealous.

She rolls her eyes at this conclusion and walks to the front door. Just as Lu Tian had said, the door was unlocked. This didn't come to her as a surprise because she knows that they were on his private island, and anyone daring to step foot here is begging to enter death's door.

And like an eager little girl on a field trip to see a castle, she excitedly enters the villa.

Upon her entrance, she was greeted with an interior utterly different from her imagination. She didn't need to turn the lights on because they were already lit when they arrived.

She could see at a glance that the villa is the pinnacle definition of effortless sophistication. It's understated neutral colors paired with bold gold-hued accents brought an illumination drama.

The entire place was designed with a spacious layout that didn't make the area look cluttered together, and the sumptuous furniture fashionably reinvented luxury.

Anyone who entered this villa would think that it a home designed for a modern king.

”Like it?”

Lu Tian's deep voice sounds from behind as he entered the villa with their bags, and Yue Ling turns to look at him. She kept a calm expression, but her brightly lit eyes said otherwise.

”It's beautiful.”

She shrugs her shoulder indifferently, but deep inside, she was screaming at the top of her lungs. If he weren't present, she would have run around the entire villa to see everything.

Clearing her head, she looks back at the scene in front of her. The living room stood directly upon entrance with glossy marble stairs on the second floor's right. She notices the glass railing on the stairs, and something crosses her mind.

”But I never pictured you as the type to lean towards a light-colored lifestyle.”

Since the villa is on Lu Tian's private island, she thought it would be like his old penthouse. Dark furniture, a gloomy atmosphere, and barely any light.

”Then again, who am I to judge someone's preference. Right?”

She chuckles softly at her own words, causing Lu Tian to smile with her. He walks past her to the living room and places their bags down on one of the couches.

”You're right. I do prefer a dark living style.”

He walks back to her and towers over her view of the villa.

”I designed the villa, but my mother picked out the decorations. She and my father occasionally come here when they want to get away from the busy city.”

His right-hand raised to caress her cheek, and a smile full of unending love curls on his face.

”Should I give you a tour of the villa first or after dinner?”
