Chapter 163

Yu Yan stared at Yun Hui's face, his eyes seemingly laced with venom, as if he wanted to devour her alive.

The atmosphere became extremely awkward. Yu Shu and Shen Youlin worked together, exchanged a few words of farewell, and dragged Yu Yan away.

Yu Yan tightly gripped Shen Youlin's hand: "Help me, help me keep an eye on her until she's dead!"

"Sure, sure, I'll call someone right away." Shen Youlin took out his phone as he spoke.

"And..." Yu Yan's expression darkened ominously, "help me find out where she's been all these years, what she's been doing, if she's... married."

"Wow~" Shen Youlin laughed mischievously, "You like her, and even want to marry her, but you just treated her so harshly."

"I want to devour her alive!"

Yu Yan lost his appetite and merely had a few bites before returning home to drown his sorrows in alcohol. Shen Youlin stayed, under the pretense of being concerned that Yu Yan might drink too much.

Yu Yan truly intended to get drunk, mixing red and white wine, and soon began rambling incoherently.

"Heh... that woman, that woman just disappeared without a word, vanishing for ten whole years..."

"I was like a damn dog!"

"Damn it, she was so cruel, she... she wouldn't even abandon a dog..."

Yu Yan's shoulders shook as he laughed and cried: "In her heart, I'm not even worth as much as a dog she kept! I don't even deserve to be compared to her dog!"

Shen Youlin grew increasingly alarmed, barely daring to breathe.CHeCk for new stories on no/v/el/bin(.)c0m

At that moment, Shen Youlin's phone chimed with a notification. A stranger had sent over Yun Hui's information.

Shen Youlin opened it and frowned.

Yun Hui had been in the United States all these years. The stranger had mobilized the Shen family's overseas influence to uncover most of Yun Hui's whereabouts during this time.

Yu Yan noticed Shen Youlin's troubled expression and asked, "What's wrong? Did you find something?!"

Shen Youlin looked conflicted, unsure how to break the news.

"Tell me, give it to me straight." Yu Yan tightly gripped his wine glass, as if strangling Yun Hui's slender neck.

"She's not married, but she has a child." Shen Youlin pushed his phone towards Yu Yan.

Yu Yan stared at the young boy's ID photo and birth date on the document, his eyes reddening as if they would bleed!

Yu Shu and Shen Youlin wanted to stay in A City to enjoy the drama, but Yu Yan couldn't stand the sight of them and grew increasingly agitated with each encounter. Fearing for their lives, as Yu Yan might take his anger out on them instead of Yun Hui, the two wisely left A City and decided to spend the winter in the warm southern hemisphere.

As for the drama, they could still follow it remotely.

The couple found a warm island to vacation on, with abundant natural resources, including plenty of black abalone and seaweed on the beaches, and occasional seal sightings.

One day, Yu Shu and Shen Youlin went out on a yacht. Yu Shu sunbathed while reviewing her graduate exam materials for a final push.

Reading is never a waste of time, regardless of one's circumstances. The more knowledge, the better.

Shen Youlin, wearing gaudy baggy pants and flip-flops, sat at the bow fishing while humming the only two songs he could sing without going off-key, 'The Good Fellow's Song'.

After fishing for a while without a single bite, Shen Youlin chanted, "Little fish, little fish, take the bait, little fish, little fish, take the bait."

Yu Shu, distracted by his incessant muttering, couldn't help but tease, "You didn't even prepare bait. Do you think you're Jiang Ziya?"

"But I caught something, what do you say about that?!"

"What can I say? Well done, bravo!"

"Oh."

"Oh? What do you mean, 'oh'?"

Shen Youlin chuckled, "Split the word apart."

Splitting "oh" apart, it becomes...

Yu Shu pelted him with her book: "In broad daylight, you're thinking indecent thoughts!"

Yu Shu sensed Shen Youlin had set a trap, but she didn't call him out and eventually agreed, blushing.

Shen Youlin swung his fishing rod, chanting "mommy mommy coddle," "urgent as a command," "Lord, please bless the world"...

Suddenly, his rod bent with a tug, and Shen Youlin laughed heartily, reeling it up—revealing a large golden fish on the hook.

It was a fish made of solid gold, exquisitely crafted to appear lifelike. In the sunlight, its scales gleamed brilliantly, almost blinding Yu Shu.

Thirty pounds of water was too heavy for Yu Shu to lift, but she hugged the thirty pounds of gold fish to her chest, grinning from ear to ear.

Shen Youlin set down his rod: "Every year, more abundance and good fortune comes in pairs."

Before Yu Shu could react, another golden fish appeared on the deck.
