Chapter 770
Ye Xingguang simply lay on the top of the submarine, using her hands as a cushion, and gazed at the azure sky, “To be honest, I don’t like living underwater at all. The idea of remaining under 20,000 meters of sea for the rest of my life, ruling as a queen, I’d rather be dead. I’d prefer to go back to Country A and live as an average citizen. It’s probably because my genes have always belonged to the land from the beginning.”
Gui Baili sat beside her. He was accustomed to the submarine life, and thus, could not sympathize with her feelings.
“Can you take me to Bougou Island?” Ye Xingguang felt that she was becoming increasingly bold. She was curious to see if the so-called Empire First Youth, who had promised her lifelong loyalty, was really as sincere as he appeared to be.
“The place where the queen lived as a child?”
“Yes, the place where I lived when I was a child. I haven’t been back for a long time and all of a sudden, I want to revisit those old haunts.” Ye Xingguang looked at Gui Baili without much hope, her gaze sincere to the core.
She thought she would perhaps need some eloquent pleading and dramatic acting skills to convince him. But to her surprise, Gui Baili agreed quite readily, saying only two words, “Sure.”
Ye Xingguang exclaimed animatedly, “Thank you!”
What a fairy-like figure he was, completely without principles, it was quite touching!
It’s a shame that she hadn’t brought Tang Zhou and Han Chengbei with her, otherwise, she could have planned an escape with the two of them!
Ye Xingguang returned to the submarine and told the helmsman to speed up. She was not sure whether her monstrous relative would go in search of Yen’an. It would be great if she could meet this relative on Bougou Island, but Ye Xingguang dared not get her hopes too high, it might just be a pipe dream.
However, even before their submarine could reach Bougou Island, the fleet sent by the Third Elder caught up with them, encircling their submarine underwater.
And then, a video call came in.noveldrama
On the holographic screen, the wickedly handsome face of Geshu Tang appeared, “Little Ninth, you wanted to go out and play. Why didn’t you let me know? Could I possibly stop you from wandering around?”
His words were smoother than a sweet melody. Ye Xingguang laughed heartily, “Third Elder, didn’t you all say I lack a companion by my side? I think Gui Baili is quite suitable. I’m building rapport with him. So, any ion?”
“Little Ninth’s taste is not very good.”
Ye Xingguang shrugged, “Then tell me, who should I choose? Third Elder, you are too old. The First Elder’s Bai Yalan is fond of your Geshu Yuan, I can’t just come in between them; Second Elder’s Ying Qiao is taken. The love song prince, Banquet Maple from the Sixth Elder’s family, is already someone else’s sweetheart. Ah, it’s quite difficult for me, going through them one by one, and only Gui Baili remains.”
“I see no problem at all. Baili, take good care of Her Majesty the Queen.” Just then the video conference expanded from two to multiple participants. A new face appeared on the virtual screen, that of Fifth Elder Gui Daocheng.
If Her Majesty the Queen would deign to fancy Baili, it would be beneficial to their family, the Fifth Elder Gui Daocheng raised both hands and feet in favor.
Geshu Tang smiled a tight lipped smile as he looked at Fifth Elder on the screen, “Fifth Elder, your rebellious son Gui Baili forcefully broke through the security line, injuring the security personnel in the process. He disregards laws and regulations. What do you suggest should be done?”
