100m Yuan Wife: Buy One Get One - Chapter 840

Ye Ningyuan’s gaze darkened. He turned to look at her, while An Xunuo gazed at the sea. She said calmly, “This island is beautiful.”

She came up with something irrelevant all of a sudden, which made Ye Ningyuan very confused. He was still trying to understand what she had said earlier on. “An Xunuo, what do you mean?”

“Nothing.” An Xunuo turned her head around and laughed. He had never seen her smile so brightly before, but it seemed forced. He was distracted for a moment.

Beating around the bush and figuring out people’s hearts were his strengths. However, he refused to guess what An Xunuo meant by that. Perhaps, he was afraid that he might be put in a difficult situation if he did understand her. Or maybe, he knew that understanding what she said wouldn’t change the fact.

“Ye Ningyuan, Xu Xing, and Silver Cloud seem close,” An Xunuo said.

Ye Ningyuan nodded. He could tell that there was something going on between Silver Cloud and Xu Xing as well. They were definitely more than friends. He laughed. “Xing Xing had always thought that she liked me. Perhaps, she is wrong about it.”

“Are you saying that she likes Silver Cloud?”

“She begged Silver Cloud to not kill me earlier when he was pointing a gun at me, but she kept looking at him nervously. Actually, Xing Xing was afraid that my family wouldn’t let Silver Cloud off if he killed me. Not everyone could afford to offend the Ye family,” Ye Ningyuan said calmly. “Although I am not sure how they got to know each other or what Silver Cloud is thinking, I know that Xing Xing…”

He shrugged his shoulders and stopped speaking.

However, An Xunuo understood him. “How about you? If Xu Xing’s love for you all these years is just an illusion, then how about yours?”

“An Xunuo, don’t you think that you are poking your nose into my affairs too much?” Ye Ningyuan’s voice suddenly turned cold, and he glared at her indifferently. He did not like others to talk about Xu Nuo, nor did he care about what others thought of them. However, he wouldn’t allow anyone to question his love for her.

There was nothing to do with guilt, compensation, or repayment of a debt of gratitude. He had merely accidentally fallen in love with a girl named Xu Nuo when he was young.

“Sorry,” An Xunuo said coldly. Then, she stood up and left without any words. Ye Ningyuan frowned. Upon watching her departure, he felt that something was weird. ‘What’s with her today?’

‘She’s behaving weirdly.’

She was more talkative, unlike the usual her. An Xunuo had never pried into the privacy of others, but she made an exception tonight. Something must have happened. His frown grew deeper. He clenched his fists subconsciously and felt the ring on his palm. Ye Ningyuan smiled and put the ring on his ring finger.

If she was really Xu Nuo, they could just stay together like that forever.

That way, both of them would not be lonely anymore. He would be satisfied if things could stay like that forever.

It was a calm and peaceful night. Only the gentle waves could be heard. Ye Ningyuan sat by the beach all night, while An Xunuo sat by the swimming pool in the courtyard silently. She had a sleepless night as well.

Xu Xing couldn’t sleep either. She sat by the swimming pool with a frustrated mind the whole night. Silver Cloud leaned on a pole beside her and stared at An Xunuo from time to time. Xu Xing looked up, looked at him, and then looked at An Xunuo.

Her heart felt sore and painful, and her eyes stung so much. The grief and sorrow she felt was so overwhelming that they made her breathless.

She didn’t know what was wrong with her.

Four people with four different thoughts spent their night on Paradise Island.

The next day, Silver Cloud was about to leave when Xu Xing asked if they could stay for a while more. She thought that the island was pretty and hoped that they could stay for a few more days as a vacation. She liked that island a lot.

Ye Ningyuan thought the same. It had been a while since he went there.

Silver Cloud had no objections since Xu Xing liked it. An Xunuo agreed to stay as well. It didn’t make a difference to her, and she liked the island anyway. Silver Cloud also wanted to see how familiar An Xunuo was with Paradise Island. All four of them had different thoughts.

Then, they proceeded to allocate their rooms.

Silver Cloud and Xu Xing remained in Silver Cloud’s mansion, while Ye Ningyuan lived in Xu Nuo’s mansion. He didn’t allow anyone to step into Xu Nuo’s mansion, and An Xunuo had never thought of living there with him either. She knew that it would be stressful to live there, so she chose to live in a random mansion.

The empty mansion had nothing except for a wooden bed. Ye Ningyuan found a quilt for her and helped her make the bed, hoping that she could get a good night’s sleep. An Xunuo accepted it without being affectedly unconventional.

“I’m sorry for what happened that night at the seaside. I wasn’t in a good mood.”

“I’ve long forgotten about it,” An Xunuo said coldly and turned her body away. “Oh,” Ye Ningyuan said. Their conversation stopped there and he went back to the mansion. He planned to visit Phoebe in the afternoon. In the past, he had always filled the whole plane with food and gifts for her and her family, but this time, he didn’t have enough time to prepare them and even needed Phoebe to provide him with food. Ye Ningyuan felt apologetic. Moreover, he was grateful for Phoebe, who had been helping him take care of the white camellias on the island while he was gone. Phoebe and her husband were open-minded people and wouldn’t ask about the relationship between the four of them or what they were doing on the island. Ye Ningyuan felt relaxed around them.

After visiting Phoebe and her family, he decided to prune the camellias. The island was big and there were pretty wildflowers and wild fruits growing in the dense forest and mountains. Very few people would go to the mountainous area located at the back of the island as it was dangerous. Most people would usually stay in the main activity area of Paradise Island. Ye Ningyuan had warned Phoebe’s family to not go near the mountains when he had left them there then.

Phoebe’s son was bitten by a small green snake in the mountain once, and luckily, he survived because of the herbs available. There were many dangerous creatures living inside.

Silver Cloud knew about it as well, but he didn’t stop Xu Xing as she looked interested and thus brought her inside. Actually, he wanted Xu Nuo to tag along. After all, the mountain was once Xu Nuo’s kingdom.

Unlike Xu Xing, Xu Nuo wasn’t innocent and naive. She couldn’t act like a warrior like Silver Cloud, nor could she prune camellias as attentively as Ye Ningyuan. As compared to all of that, she’d rather sit alone by the seaside and enjoy the sea breeze while living in her own world. It was a world that nobody else could enter nor reach.

Suddenly, a shrill cry broke the peace on the island.
