Xu Xing did not expect to bump into the children’s mom. She was carrying a basket of food and humming a Swiss song. She seemed happy from her expression.
She bumped into Xu Xing and smiled. She gave Xu Xing a small portion of the dishes in the basket.
Silver Cloud seemed too cold and she did not dare to get close to him. She only dared to talk to Xu Xing and Xu Xing could not help but tell her. “Sister Phoebe, Silver Cloud is very nice. Don’t be afraid of him.”
Phoebe smiled and said in a soft voice, “The two of you are compatible.”
Xu Xing was startled and then blushed. She just told her that she had misunderstood, but then she did not know how to explain. Phoebe had already left with the basket. She was over thirty years old but had a good figure and skin. She did not wear any makeup and looked like she was in her twenties. She made people feel comfortable and this happy and carefree life made people become younger.
Xu Xing put the food basket beside the flowers. She would come back later and bring it home. She was blushing because of what Phoebe said. Why did Phoebe misunderstand the relationship between her and Silver Cloud?
They were good friends.
Or maybe people could only think of a guy and a girl that way.
“What happened? Why is your face so red? Is it too hot?” The island was spring all year round and the midday sun was very bright. Xu Xing shook her head frantically and smiled. “No, I realized that I haven’t exercised for a long time, so my stamina is bad.”
Silver Cloud nodded and walked behind her. They walked one round and Xu Xing seemed to have something on her mind. He frowned and looked at her. This woman was always carefree. Even if she was not happy, she would have a forced smile and try to make everyone feel comfortable.
Sometimes, she would throw a temper, but all these tantrums would only make Xu Xing look more real and cuter. He did not detest it at all and instead wished that she threw more tantrums.
But, it was rare for her to be so absent-minded.
“Do you have something on your mind?”
Xu Xing looked at Silver Cloud. “Why did you bring me to Paradise Island all of a sudden?”
“You’re not in a good mood recently, so I brought you here to relax,” Silver Cloud said and Xu Xing was touched. Indeed, she was not in a good mood recently, and he knew that it was because of Ye Ningyuan…
She was feeling down and called Silver Cloud. She did not care about the time, but he immediately came to accompany her.
“Silver Cloud, it’s so good to know you.” Xu Xing smiled. “How nice would it be if you could accompany me forever.”
Sometimes, when she thought about it…
What exactly was their relationship considered as? Friends? She had a lot of friends, be it the same gender or the opposite gender. But those who could be like Silver Cloud…
No, none of them could be even one-tenth like Silver Cloud.
There was once in the middle of the night when she was feeling annoyed and called him. He appeared outside her house within an hour and went to drink with her. Earlier on, she was almost bullied when she went to the bar with her friend out of curiosity. She called Silver Cloud in a moment of panic.
It seemed weird to be saying this, but Ye Ningyuan was in London at that time too. But, the person she called in a moment of panic was Silver Cloud. He immediately rushed over and brought her out.
That was the first time he scolded her. She had never seen Silver Cloud being angry. He scolded her for very long until she lowered her head more and more in front of him and dared not speak. In the end, she had no choice but to hug his arms and coax him for very long and promised she would never go there again before Silver Cloud’s expression looked better. He told her to call him the next time she wanted to go for a drink.
She could only come when he accompanied her and she obediently agreed.
Many days later, she told her friend about it and her friend asked her curiously why she was so obedient to him. She was instantly speechless and asked herself why she was so obedient too.
She always looked for him whenever she ran into trouble or had any worries. He had seen her in her worst state and how she was infatuated with Ningyuan. He had also seen her when she was sad. She was carefree in front of him and was very different from her usual elegant self.
She always thought that they were best friends.
But, everything had an end. If Silver Cloud was no longer by her side one day, would she be sad? He would not be by her side forever and would lead his own life.
These few years, she had been the princess and he was her knight. But, she had always been looking for her prince and had forgotten that her knight had been protecting her silently…
Xu Xing felt gloomy.
She felt unhappy all of a sudden.
Silver Cloud asked her once but she shook her head, so he stopped asking. Xu Xing thinned her lips and looked up. She had walked quite a distance and was tired, so she sat down to rest. Silver Cloud sat down too.
The sunlight at Paradise Island was beautiful.
…
Xunuo had an uneasy feeling ever since she boarded the plane. There were only two people on the plane. Ye Ningyuan was operating the plane and she was in the vice-captain’s seat. They were heading toward Paradise Island. She felt as if something was tugging her, and she was worried.
It was rare for such a situation to happen to her.
It’s as if something would happen at Paradise Island, and it made her feel uneasy.
She disliked the idea but followed him in the end. Silver Cloud was someone that she still did not know well even after knowing him for many years. She did not know what he wanted and what grudge did he have against Ye Ningyuan.
He even kidnapped Xu Xing. She was afraid that Ye Ningyuan would be harmed.
It’s funny thinking about it. Silver Cloud was her superior and she should be thinking about how to deal with him. But, she was thinking about what Ye Ningyuan might encounter. It was weird. She never had any idea what loyalty was.
She did whatever she wanted as it was more important to lead a carefree life.
She looked at the side profile of Ye Ningyuan. His face was darkened and tensed like a knife. It was rare for her to see Ningyuan like this.
Paradise Island…
But it seemed like he could not forget his sorrows.
She knew that the island had some of his most cherished memory and also the most unforgettable ones. But now, someone had crossed his bottom line and Ye Ningyuan must be angry.
He was always calm, elegant, and composed no matter what kind of danger he met. But this time, his face was darkened and he seemed angry.
He would not allow anyone to stain that land with blood again.
What exactly was between Silver Cloud and him?
“We will reach Paradise Island in the afternoon.” Ye Ningyuan’s voice sounded calm from the side. An Xunuo was not attentive and simply hummed…
