Chapter 454: Travel - The City of Freedom (Foreign Book III)

Chapter 454

Italy—

The wineries that Ye Si sent to Qiao Ying were all freshly picked and purchased, while the one Qin Hanyue sent, apart from the vineyard that was contracted ready-made, the winery and other things inside were newly built.

If it weren't for wanting Qiao Ying to be able to drink wine sooner, Qin Hanyue estimated that even this vineyard would be bought as new saplings and planted anew.

Huo Chengdong: "Ping'an Winery? F*ck —what a tacky name. To see such a tall and cool winery written with the Chinese characters Ping'an Winery in Italy, it's like calling a top-level beauty Huang Cuihua. What kind of cultural level is this, how did they come up with this? Is it foreign enough, tacky enough?"

Qin Hanyue looked at him: "My cultural level is actually pretty good."

Huo Chengdong froze his face: "Ha? This is your winery?"

He secretly swallowed his saliva and hid behind Qiao Yi.

Qiao Ying twitched her lips, like she wanted to laugh but not laugh: "It's a bit tacky indeed." She walked inside and mocked: "Didn't expect there's somewhere even you, Qin Hanyue, fall short."

Being told he was not good enough, Qin Hanyue had to explain: "That's not it. I was going for auspiciousness since it's a gift for you."

Of course Qiao Ying understood his intentions, she did that on purpose. So she pretended not to hear his explanation and said in that surprised mocking tone again: "Didn't expect there's somewhere even you, Qin Hanyue, fall short."

Qin Hanyue: "......"

The winery was very big. The whole winery was filled with the sweet aroma of grapes and wine. Qiao Ying felt the air here smelled extremely good.

At night,

Lying in bed, Qiao Ying put her phone aside after checking her messages and turning it off. She looked towards Qin Hanyue, who had just finished showering with still wet hair, holding a stack of photos of the two of them looking through them.

Qiao Yi had left quite a few shots of them together in the frame.

The photos in Qin Hanyue’s hands were freshly developed.

He had been safeguarding these photos that were washed out all the way.

Sitting sideways, his side profile seemed even more prominent under the lamplight, but looking at the photos and smiling now, his temperament lacked some coldness. In fact, Qiao Ying had never felt he was cold.

And in reality, he had never treated her coldly either.

Sensing her gaze, Qin Hanyue turned to look at her, but her fair little feet suddenly pressed against his face.

The warm soles stuck tightly to his cold cheek. Qin Hanyue’s healthy complexion seemed to produce a strong sense of color difference under her overly fair jade feet. Her unconscious move was strangely ambiguous and tempting, making Qin Hanyue unintentionally aroused.

Qin Hanyue smiled and grabbed her little feet in his big hand. He lowered his head to kiss them, then looked at her while casually putting the photos down. He leaned over, wanting to kiss her.

Qiao Ying seemed to disdain his mouth that had just kissed her feet. She directly turned her head away, exposing her fair neck to him instead. Realizing it, Qiao Ying was about to turn back, but his hot breath had already approached. His warm lips kissed her soft neck a little forcefully and he even nibbled.

A strange numbness like electric current passed quickly through her whole body. Qiao Ying glared at him resentfully.

Qin Hanyue, who had stolen the advantage, smiled like a fox. It was because her neck was a little sensitive and he usually wasn’t allowed to touch it. Only in bed would Qin Hanyue get the chance. And once he touched it, her reaction and the feeling it brought him was maddening.

The fearless Qin Hanyue followed up by kissing her lips again, then kissed her as his body pressed over her. One arm caged her under him as his hand stroked her head, slowly deepening the kiss.

But Qiao Ying turned her face again and mercilessly spat out two words: "No sex."

Qin Hanyue lifted his face. His tone was ambiguous and his gaze made one blush directly: "Wasn't that an invitation just now?"

After Qin Hanyue finished tidying up, he turned off the lights and crept into bed gingerly, hugging her into his arms: "Good night."

The last stop of the trip—Country M.

The group headed straight for Qiao Ying’s private residence—Freedom City.

Huo Chengdong: "F*ck, this house, it's too f*cking cool!"

Qiao Yi: "I know this house. It's called Freedom City if I'm not wrong. I've seen it online before."

Qin Yan: "I heard the house was designed by the owner herself." He looked towards Qiao Ying.

Huo Chengdong let out an existential yell: "Sis Ying, you really didn't time travel back right? With your age... your experience, ability and wealth... they really don't match up!"

Qiao Ying: "You need to recognize and accept discrepancies between people."

Huo Chengdong: "......"

From Qiao Ying opening the door with iris recognition, to entering and seeing the tall, cool robot butler and series of operations comparable to sci-fi TV shows plus the sea view outside, Huo Chengdong was rendered speechless.

Qiao Ying benevolently sent Huo Chengdong to the car garage he had been dreaming of, mainly because he was too noisy.

Then she brought Qin Hanyue to her room.

There was a photo of herself in her room that Ye Si had taken and put in a picture frame for her after developing it.

As soon as Qin Hanyue saw that photo, he guessed that it was taken by Ye Si. Holding the photo and looking at the silhouette in the photo, he asked Qiao Ying in an expecting tone that implied he was discussing: "When do we take wedding photos?"

Qiao Ying: "Taking wedding photos, and then what? Getting our marriage certificate? Getting married? Having kids?"

Qin Hanyue nodded: "Mm."

Qiao Ying: "Isn't that too greedy?"

Qin Hanyue: "It's a process. You can skip the beginning and end parts if you don't like them - the wedding ceremony. I really look forward to it, but I also completely respect you. However, the certificate..." He wanted to say must have or definitely need, but these phrases were too forceful, so he just said: "I will try my very best to get it."

Qiao Ying was very satisfied with his attitude: "I'll consider it."

Qin Hanyue: "Consider what? The wedding photos or getting our certificate or the wedding ceremony?"

Qiao Ying deliberately didn't answer him: "I have a weapons storeroom in my basement. Shall I take you to see it?" As she recalled something, Qiao Ying added: "Let me record your iris first so you can easily open the door."

Considering Qin Hanyue's identity, fingerprints and iris scans were private and important things, so Qiao Ying asked: "Is it alright with you?"

Qin Hanyue: "It's fine. Besides, which place could be safer than here?"

As she recorded his iris, Qin Hanyue remarked: "From now on, will I be able to come and go here with a perfectly legitimate reason?"

Qiao Ying shook her head and regretfully told him: "Ye Si and Cheng Jinyan can also enter through this door."

Qin Hanyue: He already knew that.

Seeing that he looked a little dejected, Qiao Ying didn't say anything. But two minutes later, she told him: "You can use the term 'perfectly legitimate reason' now. You're the only one now."

In her lust, she ruthlessly deleted the other two.

Qin Hanyue smiled.
