On a private island in Mauritius, a three-story villa was uniquely built in the middle of a forest. One could overlook the entire beach from the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Ling Chunuan had been here for a week. At first, she was curious, but later on, she gradually got bored. Now, she was bored to death every day. She even began to miss the days when her brother scolded her at home.
"Miss Ling, what are you having for dinner today?"
Ling Chunuan looked back at the servant who was waiting for her to speak. She hesitated for a moment. "No, I want to go home. When is he coming back tonight?"
The servants looked at each other. "We never ask about Young Master's whereabouts, but he has been coming back every day for the past two days. Tonight should be no exception."
"Oh." Ling Chunuan nodded and looked out of the window.
"I want to go home. Where is the nearest port?"
"Miss Ling, you have to wait for Young Master to come back. Otherwise, it will be hard for us to explain."
"Okay."
Ling Chunuan had always been easy to talk to. Seeing that the servants were in a difficult position, she dismissed the idea of leaving directly. Her phone rang. It was Lu Nanzhou calling.
She pressed the answer button. "What's the matter?"
Lu Nanzhou's voice was a little worried. "Nuannuan, you've been out for a week. Everyone is worried about you. When are you coming back to Lan River?"
"Have you returned to Lan River?"
"We were going to leave, but Chen wanted to stay here and wait for you, so I stayed too. We're still at the hotel where my sister and your brother held their wedding. When are you coming back?"
"Brother Nanzhou, when did you start to care about me so much? My brother has never asked about me. "
Lu Nanzhou's voice was a little hesitant.
"It's Chen. Chen said that if you don't come back, he won't leave. I … I just want to ask you, are you coming back?"
"Let Chen answer the phone."
No matter how stupid Ling Chunuan was, she could tell that this phone call was not Lu Nanzhou's intention.
Lu Nanzhou had never been so concerned about her.
After a while, Gu Yuechen's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Nuannuan, where are you?"
"I'm playing. Don't you all know that?"
"But you haven't contacted us at all."
"I had so much fun."
While answering the phone, Ling Chunuan changed her position on the sofa and looked around. It was not fun here.
"Did you … did you hear something?"
Gu Yuechen asked cautiously.
Ling Chunuan was silent for a few seconds, and the voice on the other end of the phone suddenly became urgent.
"Nan and I …"
"So you know about it too."
Ling Chunuan interrupted Gu Yuechen, "I suddenly have a fiancé. If it were you, you wouldn't be able to accept it either, right? I'll stay away from the limelight for a while, lest my parents catch me and bring me back for a blind date."
Gu Yuechen seemed to be stunned. "A blind date?"
"That's right. If Mo Mo hadn't told me in advance and I hadn't been mentally prepared, I would definitely have been forced by my mother to sell me."
Ling Chunuan's tone was deliberately casual, but the voice on the other end of the phone was getting weirder and weirder.
"You don't want to accept this marriage?"
"Yes, who wants to accept it?"
"But Nuannuan, I heard that you left with a man?"
"Yes, it's all thanks to him. I saved him before, so he's repaying his debt."
"Do you know the name of the man you left with?"
"Zhuang Hong …"
The sound of swallowing came from the other end of the phone.
"Then do you know the name of the fiancé your family arranged for you?"
"I think Mo Mo mentioned it before. I forgot. Who cares, it's not important. I don't want to marry him anyway."
"His name is Zhuang Hong."
Gu Yuechen's voice was so weird that Ling Chunuan didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
Zhuang … Zhuang Hong?
The moon was bright and the stars were few. When Zhuang Hong returned to the villa, it was already late at night. The house was brightly lit. As soon as he entered the house, all the maids knelt on the ground. One of them said with a pale face.
"Young Master … Miss Ling is missing …"
Zhuang Hong's expression changed. "When did this happen?"
While the villa was in chaos, Ling Chunuan had already passed through the woods and was about to arrive at the only port on the island.
When she arrived at the port, a boat happened to be docked. She waved desperately at the boat and asked in fluent English.
"Where can I buy a ticket? I want to take the boat."
There was a big man with a dark face standing on the boat. When he saw her, he looked down at the photo on his phone and turned back to the cabin and shouted something. Four or five big men suddenly rushed out of the cabin, all of them with strong backs and strong waists.
Ling Chunuan was slightly stunned and instantly realized the danger. She forced a smile and waved her hand. "Well, I remember that I still have something to take. I'll go first …"
When she was running, Ling Chunuan realized how serious a flaw it was to not be diligent. Before she could run two steps, she was caught by two big men like a chicken and directly thrown into the cabin.
When she was knocked unconscious, she vaguely heard one of the big men say something.
"He took this little girl to the island. With this little girl here, we don't have to be afraid that he won't come to us. Let's go."
The boat left the port and the sound of the sea was beating in her ears. She was dizzy and Ling Chunuan gradually lost the ability to think.
When Zhuang Hong received the news and rushed to the port, it was already empty. There was only the reflection of a boat far away on the sea.
When Ling Chunuan woke up, it was already three days later. The room was very dark and very narrow, only enough to accommodate one person. She felt for a long time and felt a piece of protrusion on the wall. The familiar feeling made her slightly stunned.
Was it the nine-compartment lock?
Through the crack of the door, there was a graceful figure of a woman talking to a man.
And the man's voice made Ling Chunuan's action of unlocking the door slightly pause.
It was Zhuang Hong.
"Where's Nuannuan?"
"You call her so intimately. As far as I know, you've only known the second daughter of the Ling family for a few days. Have you forgotten so quickly that I'm the closest person to you? I'm the only one who knows the pain of living under someone else's roof. I'm the only one who can empathize with your feelings. I'm the only one who understands you the most. "
"Zhuang You, that's enough. Don't force your own thoughts on me. I didn't tell mom what you did because of our friendship. If you dare to do anything to Nuannuan, don't blame me for not being polite."
"Are you really so heartless?"
The woman's voice was full of pain and unwillingness. "You know that I've liked you for so many years."
"You're just my sister."
"We're not related by blood."
"It has nothing to do with blood. Sister, will always be sister."
"Zhuang Hong …"
The woman raised her voice, as if she didn't want to hear Zhuang Hong emphasize those two words. After a while, she pushed a glass of wine on the table in front of Zhuang Hong.
"Okay, don't you want to see her? I'll fulfill your wish. Drink this glass of wine and you can see her. "
The scarlet liquid in the wine glass was full of evil. Zhuang Hong didn't even blink and drank it in one gulp. He coldly looked at the woman in front of him.
"Do you know what I added to the wine?"
"…"
"Do you think the woman you love will still be with you if she watches you sleep with me?"
