The Goddess is Sweet and Aloof-Chapter 987 - 985

Yes, he might be dying.

Startled awake, he was drenched in cold sweat.

It was a path he had chosen, so he had never felt regret. He initially wanted to sneak a peek into her room, but realizing how sensitive she was, he knew she would undoubtedly detect his presence and decided against it.

It was Qiao Xiaren’s third day on the island, and Xiaotian had hinted to her that it sensed Si Limo’s presence, urging her not to panic. Qiao Xiaren wasn’t panicked; knowing that it was Dark Night who had kidnapped her, she had anticipated what would follow.

Ever since the last anti-smuggling operation, he had been planning an attack, intending to annihilate the transnational Dark Night Organization. This organization was enigmatic, having support in multiple countries, and with its locations shrouded in secrecy, the officials had not rashly acted.

This time, it seemed like Dark Night was digging its own grave, delivering itself to their doorstep.

Thinking of this, Qiao Xiaren felt even more at ease.

The room door suddenly opened, Qiao Xiaren put down her glass of water and swiftly raised her head to look.

Today, these people were not so perverse as to demand she wear a blindfold, so this was the first time she saw Young Master’s true form, though his face was still masked.

"You’ve come?"

Young Master nodded, his eyes dark and inscrutable: "How have you been adjusting to the island these past few days?"

His voice was both sinister and cold, making one feel extremely uncomfortable, yet inexplicably, it carried a seductive undertone.

"Not bad, did Young Master specially invite me to be a guest on the island?"

"You could say that." Young Master took a few steps towards her, his gaze resting on her, "Would you accompany me for a walk outside?"

In her life, Qiao Xiaren hated threats the most. Young Master’s words didn’t seem to carry much coercion; instead, they sounded like a simple suggestion, and Qiao Xiaren didn’t refuse.

She needed to understand the surroundings of the island now, or else it would be chaos when the time came.

The island’s scenery was indeed very different, with the azure sky, soft sand, the sea occasionally washing up on the beach, and seagulls gliding above the water’s surface.

The view was exceptionally open, and most importantly, there were hardly any people around because it was a private island.

Qiao Xiaren’s hair cascaded over her shoulders, the wind gently blowing it apart, and Young Master even knew to give her a coat, otherwise, she would have frozen to death by now.

"Are you still curious as to why I brought you to this island?"

"What if I am? Will you satisfy my curiosity?"

Young Master suddenly laughed, his smile held a unique charm: "Would you like to hear a story?"

"If there’s a story, why not listen?"

"The story is quite long; if you want to hear it, I’ll tell you," Young Master turned his head, looking intently at her, "Can you come a little closer and listen till the end?"

The wind flaunted her long hair, as if she could clearly see her own reflection in his eyes.

Qiao Xiaren didn’t move, but Young Master took a few steps forward, not being too invasive: "Qiao Xiaren, after today, you will be able to leave this island safely."

And I won’t appear before you again.

Although the statement was somewhat bewildering to her, Qiao Xiaren nodded nonetheless.

He began to recount that story.

"Back in the 1980s, a street thug fell in love with a rich heiress. That thug was a womanizer, but it was the first time he’d fallen in love. Back then, love was something you cherished in your heart; even a glance was naïve yet lingering, inspiring yearning, and incredibly heartwarming. The rich heiress also harbored feelings for the thug, and the two got together."
