Chapter 517
Ye Xingguang walked towards him, “Li Yu, why are you standing at the entrance? Why don’t you go inside? I was going to rescue you. Don’t tell me Uncle Li has chased you out, or he won’t even let you in?”noveldrama
Li Yu raised an eyebrow, as though accepting his plight, focused on the luggage in her hands, “Where are you off to?”
“Back to the capital,” she replied.
Li Yu: “You just got here less than an hour ago, and you’re leaving already?”
“I only came back to fetch my stuff. Now that I’ve gotten it, of course, I have to head back. I’ve booked a flight for 4:30 tomorrow morning to the capital. If Uncle Li really did kick you out, will you stay over here?”
“Isn’t it quite nice here?” Li Yu answered, seemingly prepared to spend the night in a corner of the courtyard.
“How can that be? Why don’t you stay at my place tonight? Once Uncle Li calms down, you can move back in. My house is vacant anyway, and nobody is staying there. Here, take the keys.”
Li Yu did not stand on ceremony. After taking her keys, he picked up her luggage, wanting to escort her to the pier.
Just as they reached the pier, a clap of thunder echoed across the sky, startling Ye Xingguang, who had always been afraid of thunderstorms.
The boatman was waiting at the pier with a worried look. “The weather forecast has predicted a storm tonight, suggesting that it’s not suitable for sailing. I didn’t think much of it due to the clear sky just now, but now the sky is enveloped in dark clouds. Xingguang, should we leave the island tomorrow morning instead? With such unpredictable weather, it might not be safe to leave now.”
“What?” But the person who got bitten by the wolf is having a high fever and waiting for her to return with the medicine.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
One thunderclap after another made Ye Xingguang’s heart quiver. Even before the storm had begun, her heart had already succumbed to fear, she was exceedingly afraid of thunder, not slightly.
At this moment, Mrs. Shen called, “Xingguang, have you set off yet?”
“Not yet, we were just about to.”
Mrs. Shen breathed a sigh of relief, “That’s good. Return quickly! I wasn’t aware of the weather report until you left, and heard that there will be a typhoon tonight. Return quickly, leaving the island can wait. You’ve always been afraid of thunder; your parents will surely blame me if they find out.”
At this very moment, a private airplane was making its journey through the night.
Fu Zhuo sat on the plane, chattering incessantly.
“Uncle Yue, are you sure you know where Miss Ye’s island is? It would be troublesome if you got it wrong. It’s odd, despite her island being registered, there are no specific coordinates marked on the map. If we miss out on any longitudes or latitudes at this late hour, especially in the middle of a storm, good luck finding it. And it’s just a remote and simple island, it probably won’t have an airport — so where could we land?”
Ye Junyao glanced at the jabbering Fu Zhuo, causing him to shut up neatly.
Just as Fu Zhuo closed his eyes, Master Gu who coincidentally seated on Yue’s plane couldn’t help but ask, “Young man, your secretary is correct. With your feverish state, are you sure you can remember the correct coordinates?”
Who said he’s delirious? He’s completely lucid right now!
Ye Junyao’s facial muscles were taut. He had dozed off twice on the plane. Each time he was asleep, his dreams were filled with scenes of Xiaoyuxi and Li Yu in each other’s arms. The flames of jealousy that had been burning in his chest for hours were not ghing out; instead, they were growing stronger!
Ye Junyao closed his eyes, daring not to think about what he would do if he came across such a scenario again. Should he put an end to them, or should he let them be?
