"Oh no... Am I the third wheel now?" Yi Yang joked.
"What are you thinking? On this trip, those three are the enjoyers. Youâre the driver and nanny, and Iâm the bodyguard! When Miss Qu arrives, you and I will become a thousand-watt light bulb."
She had suggested that Qu Leqi come along. Although they werenât very fond of each other, she was the temporary lady boss after all. However, it seemed like Nian Shen was still upset about the last exposĂ©, and the two of them hadnât reconciled yet. It had been a while since they were seen having a meal together.
...
About an hour later, they arrived at the Haitang Resort and found the villa Heather had reserved. A car was already parked outside.
Gu Liancheng and Qianxun, who had set off before them according to the specific address, should already be inside by now.
Heather got out of the car to grab the luggage, but Yi Yang insisted, "No need, no need! Miss Hai, just stick close to Mr. Nian! Iâll handle the luggage!"
"Isnât that a bit over the top?" Heather looked around, seeing no suspicious figures following them. "Even on vacation, do they have to tag along? Canât we just enjoy a proper holiday?"
She wasnât wrong, but she still remained cautious.
Upon entering, they were greeted by Gu Liancheng and Qianxun coming down from the second floor, who waved hello.
"Sister Wei Wei, you guys are so slow! I thought youâd arrive first." Reaching the last step, Qianxun jumped down lightly, landing in front of Heather and embraced her.
Exaggerating the feeling of a long separation despite only a short absence.
Suddenly, Qianxun noticed the ointment all over the back of Heatherâs left hand and exclaimed worriedly, "What happened to your hand?"
The burn ointmentâs color was quite striking, making it look somewhat alarming at first glance, as if it were serious.
"Itâs nothing. I accidentally burned it with coffee this morning," Heather dismissed it nonchalantly, not bothered by such things. "Iâll organize the luggage and be right back."
The villa Heather had booked was large, with many rooms. The biggest master bedroom was reserved for Gu Liancheng and Qianxun, the newlyweds. The secondary master bedroom was for Nian Shen, while Heather and Yi Yang casually picked a room, as neither had high demands; so long as they could sleep, it was fine.
Gu Liancheng sat on the sofa in the central living room, while Qianxun sat sideways on his lap, embracing him yet watching as the three went into their respective rooms.
She turned around, pecked Gu Liancheng on the cheek, frowned, and whispered, "Hubby, I have this feeling that thereâs nothing initially wrong with Mr. Nian coming along. But if Qu Leqi also came... Why did he come alone without his girlfriend? It gives me the illusion that he and Sister Wei Wei are a couple..."
Hmm...
Honestly, he also had that illusion.
Compared to the four of them, Yi Yangâs presence was too weak, so there wouldnât be much sensory impact.
"For a place like the resort... Mr. Nian should know, right? How could he come alone... itâs like he never planned to bring his girlfriend from the start. And I always feel that Mr. Nianâs feelings towards Sister Wei Wei are odd... What do you think?"
"With a manâs intuition, Nian Shen has romantic feelings for Heather."
Qianxun almost exploded, "Then isnât he just two-timing? Thatâs absolutely unacceptable!"
