Becoming The Bigshot's Only Love After Breaking Her Engagement-Chapter 620: President’s Desperate Pursuit in the Love Ashes
Shangxue’s initiative kiss made Xie Mingyu’s heart bloom with joy, his heart pounding fiercely, almost jumping out of his chest.
To conceal his racing heart, he quickly pushed Shangxue away with a flushed face and picked up the book again to continue reading.
"I haven’t finished, I’ll read the book first."
"Oh, but young master, you’re holding it upside down," Shangxue reminded him.
Xie Mingyu awkwardly flipped it the right way.
The plane arrived in the Maldives, landing first on the small island they had bought.
Before getting off the plane, Xie Mingyu spoke to Shangxue: "The small island I bought was used by someone else before, and underwent some simple renovations, including having a house. Mainly because time was too rushed, I just renewed the furniture, everything else is still the same. Don’t be disappointed then, it’s definitely not as luxurious and extravagant as the one Lin Yue gave to Wan Tianning. However, since you like it, we can design it slowly in the future. Since it’s a gift for you, we’ll design it according to your preferences."
"I’m not a celebrity, nor do I often need lovers to come play, you know me, simplicity is just fine," Shangxue replied with a smile, showing she wouldn’t be disappointed.
Xie Mingyu breathed a sigh of relief.
Actually, he always knew Shangxue wasn’t that kind of materialistic woman.
However, he was still somewhat worried until he heard her say it herself.
Although a lot of what Lin Yue said was unpalatable,
there was indeed some truth to it.
Sure enough, once that barrier was broken, their relationship changed, and the feelings also underwent a significant transformation.
Just like before, he didn’t need to pay attention to what Shangxue liked or disliked or whether she would get angry at such matters.
But now it’s different, he can’t help but think about these things and is afraid of making her angry.
Even though it made him tread carefully, this feeling of having expectations and holding a space in his heart for someone still brought him a strong sense of satisfaction.
It turns out liking someone is such a blissful thing.
And he foolishly rejected it for so many years?
Thinking about it feels like a loss.
Unaware of his little thoughts, Shangxue got off the plane with him, finding the vast sky and the gentle breeze, though there’s a hint of fishy smell in the air, to be very pleasant.
"Xue’er, I remember you once told me you liked the seaside," Xie Mingyu suddenly recalled.
Shangxue nodded, smiling: "When I was young, my family lived by the seaside. Later, after my parents left due to an accident, I was sent to an orphanage. Later, the young master adopted me. Tong City is an inland area, quite far from the sea, so I haven’t been to the seaside in many years."
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have risked bringing Yanyan to attend Lin Yue and Wan Tianning’s wedding, just because it was said to be held by the sea, she couldn’t resist being tempted.
"I’ll take you there often in the future," Xie Mingyu promised.
Shangxue nodded, proactively reached out to hold Xie Mingyu’s hand, interlocking their fingers.
Xie Mingyu couldn’t help but tremble, his whole body tingling.
Actually, since just now, he wanted to hold Shangxue’s hand, just embarrassed to do it.
Unexpectedly, Shangxue took the initiative herself, which made him excited and thrilled.
However, although this island isn’t as luxurious as Lin Yue’s, it’s not as simple as Xie Mingyu said it was.
It has all the necessary facilities, especially the seaside villa, where all the soft furnishings have been renewed by Xie Mingyu.
Indeed, it was his style, giving the feeling of a home even when here.
"Xue’er, let me show you our bedroom," Xie Mingyu coughed lightly, tugging her hand blushingly upstairs.
The room is large; opening the window reveals the ocean outside.
There’s also a balcony extending outwards, allowing a more direct experience of the ocean’s grandeur.
The sea breeze blew over, reminding Shangxue of her childhood: her father carrying her, holding hands with her mother as they walked on the beach. The sunset’s glow shined on the family, plain yet happy.
"Do you like it?" Xie Mingyu asked.
Shangxue nodded: "I like it, thank you, young master."
"Why are you still calling me young master? I don’t want you to address me like that," Xie Mingyu embraced her with a slightly sulky tone.
Shangxue chuckled lightly: "So what should I call you? Mr. Xie? But that sounds too distant. I’m used to calling you young master, so if not that, what should I call you? Mingyu? Yu’er?"
"Neither is good; Mingyu sounds distant and also doesn’t sound nice. Yu’er won’t do either; I’m not your son, how can you call me Yu’er? Call me Ayu, or Yu brother?"
Shangxue: "..."
"Yu brother? Are you sure you want me to call you that?"
"Forget it, Ayu is fine! It sounds smoother," Xie Mingyu said with a blush.
"Okay, Ayu, I’ll call you Ayu from now on," Shangxue turned around, wrapping her arms around Xie Mingyu’s shoulders.
Looking at the gentle-eyed Shangxue, Xie Mingyu was filled with tender affection.
For some reason, the memory of that night suddenly flashed in his mind.
Though he had taken medicine at the time, he remembered the things he should remember.
His body’s temperature gradually rose, especially looking at Shangxue’s red tender lips, feeling a dry mouth and a strong urge to kiss them.
"Ayu, what’s wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Shangxue noticed Xie Mingyu’s atypical state, thinking he might be unwell, worriedly placing the back of her hand on his forehead.
Looking into her clear eyes, full of concern without any evil thoughts, Xie Mingyu suddenly felt extremely ashamed.
How could he think of such things?
He still remembered that incident, at the time...she was so painful, that joyous lovemaking for him was like torture for her.
"Xue’er, let’s go out and have a look!"
Xie Mingyu hurriedly pushed her hand away and turned around to walk out.
Shangxue frowned, wondering what happened to him?
He was fine just a moment ago; is he really unwell?
"Ayu, if you’re really not feeling well, we can rest at home," Shangxue caught up to him.
She’s actually not very interested in going out to play. She wasn’t a person who liked playing much to begin with. Moreover, after these years of raising Yanyan, she’s already physically and mentally exhausted, not having much interest in playing.
"I’m not unwell. Everything’s planned; we’ll first go to the neighboring island, which is a tourist destination. There are many novel and fun things, as well as gourmet restaurants; I’ll take you to eat," Xie Mingyu had already instructed someone to prepare a yacht.
Seeing his high spirits, Shangxue couldn’t bear to disappoint him, so she prepared a bag.
Filled with various emergency supplies, just in case he felt unwell and needed them at any time.
It was only after they got on the yacht that Xie Mingyu noticed her carrying a bag, asking with disdain: "Xue’er, why are you carrying such a bag? It’s so ugly, you didn’t have such bad taste before."
Shangxue was speechless, thinking, my taste certainly wasn’t this bad before, but haven’t the last few years of raising a child changed it?
In the past, when I traveled with you, besides myself, there were others, and things could be arranged for them to prepare.
Yet, these past few years raising Yanyan alone, I’ve had to prepare everything myself.
No need for aesthetics, just need a big bag that can hold many things and is easy to carry around.
