813 A Million Times for You 175 (1/2)

She punched him jokingly and quipped, ”If you do this to me every day, you're going to suck me dry sooner or later!”

Jin Qingyan chuckled and teased, ”It'd only be a matter of time before you empty me out too.”

”Who wants to do this with you every day?” She snuggled up in his embrace with one leg over his. Pinching his abdomen, she remarked, ”Have you stopped going to the gym lately? Look, your abs are all gone. I want to see your eight-pack again the next time I see you. Can you do that?”

”A piece of cake. I've just been too busy with work recently and didn't have the time to hit the gym. I guarantee you'll be left lusting for my abs the next time we meet again,” he said in a relaxed manner.

”Hah, talk is cheap. Wait until you've actually achieved it.”

”I'll never break my promises to you,” he said, lowering his head.

After kissing her forehead gently, he let go of her and began getting dressed.

When it was time for them to part, An Xiaoning hugged his waist tightly, reluctant to let him leave. ”I don't want you to go,” she said coquettishly.

”Seems like I did manage to satisfy you earlier.”

Turning as red as a tomato, An Xiaoning immediately let go of him and rolled her eyes. ”No, you didn't.”

”Fine, if you say so. I won't spare you if I see any wounds or injuries on you the next time we meet.”

”Okay, hurry along.”

”You were so reluctant to let me leave moments ago, yet you're rushing me to leave now. Women are really fickle.”

”Are you leaving or not? If you don't leave, you're coming with us,” An Xiaoning said, chuckling.

”I'll go, I'll go, I'll leave right now,” said Jin Qingyan, smooching her on her lips passionately one last time before he left, filled with satisfaction.

The ship was parked near the coast while Jin Qingyan disembarked with his subordinates. The car was already ready at the harbor.

An Xiaoning stood by the window and waved at him.

The boat proceeded along the designated route, and they soon drifted further and further away from the coast.

Tears streamed down her face uncontrollably as Jin Qingyan's figure soon receded and faded into nothingness.

She wiped her tears away and turned around to enter the room where they had just had a long battle in bed.

She picked up the document of the detailed information that Fan Shixin had collated.

She lay in bed and began flipping through the pages one by one.

The ship continued to advance without stopping.

Throughout the next few days of the journey, An Xiaoning finished perusing all the information regarding the treasure map and confirmed the next route that would be taken by the ship. She then proceeded to get some good rest.

Four days after setting off from S Nation, they finally arrived in V Nation.

They had arrived in the morning.

It was a tropical region and, thus, the temperatures were much warmer compared to that of S Nation, where it was still wintertime.

The clothes and shoes they had brought were all suitable to be worn in the summer.

An Xiaoning was not afraid of the cold, but she could not tolerate warm temperatures at all.

She had already changed into summer clothing while on the ship and simply left the clothes she was initially wearing on the ship. She then instructed the other subordinates to bring them back to S Nation. After all, it would be a hassle to carry them around since she could not wear them in V Nation anyway.

V Nation was the first stop of their journey, which they had chosen because it was said to be where the treasure map originated, according to the information.

They decided to move on to other nations should their efforts be futile this time.

If they could find any clues here, they would not proceed to other nations.

An Xiaoning was dressed in a short-sleeved shirt and a pair of shorts, accompanied by a pair of rubber slippers. Comfort was her main concern.
