It had been almost a month since arriving at Liya Island for their honeymoon.
Xu Yinsheng had played at every spot she wanted to visit and tasted all the local delicacies—lamb chops, oysters, ice-cold boba drinks, coconut crab, small lobsters, and even freshly caught sashimi sliced within a quarter of an hour, without missing a single one.
Like a mad cat finally freed from its cage, she indulged herself wildly and recklessly.
The recent weather had been on their side as well—clear skies, calm winds and waves, and golden sunshine pouring down on the beach for free.
It gave her every excuse to play, to go wild, to frolic without restraint.
During the day, she got up early to cook breakfast for Zhao Yicheng, fresh from milking the cows, and at night, she took her pocket money to tip a beautiful hostess, holding her waist as they danced together, having an absolute blast!
“Come on, come on, stop working and come play,” Xu Yinsheng said, thinking that since it was their honeymoon, there was no way she would let Zhao Yicheng enjoy himself alone.
She hurriedly dragged him out of the hotel room.
Lately, Zhao Yicheng had seemed very busy—nonstop video meetings that often lasted until three or four in the morning had become normal. Xu Yinsheng overheard on the bed that he had taken over a newly established small company and that once this busy period passed, things would calm down significantly.
Zhao Yicheng wore a pair of shorts, stepping lightly on the soft sand.
The long hours of overtime hadn’t worn him down; instead, his aura grew even more steady and reserved.
He looked up at the sky, gazing at the large sun.
The warm golden light spilled over him, and he squinted slightly.
Splash!
A wave, mixed with sand, hit Zhao Yicheng’s face, even some grains sneaking into his eyes. He instinctively raised his hand to wipe it away, but while he could wipe off the water, the sand stuck stubbornly.
For a while, his face and neck were covered with tiny grains, clinging wetly to his skin.
Not far from him, Xu Yinsheng stood, watching his rare expression of frustration and smirking quietly.
The deep blue sea barely covered her ankles, and her sexy swimsuit outlined her exquisite curves perfectly.
“Come play in the water with me.”
She scooped up a handful of seawater and splashed it at Zhao Yicheng.
Afterward, seeing the shell stuck on his head, she burst into loud laughter.
A sea breeze blew, and a white plastic bag happened to land on Zhao Yicheng’s head.
Xu Yinsheng’s laughter grew louder and more unrestrained, her red hair tousled by the wind, covering her eyes but not dampening the radiant smile on her face—beautiful and captivating.
“Come catch me, you bastard.”
“If you catch me, then I’m yours.”
Wearing her alluring swimsuit, Xu Yinsheng ran happily toward the ocean, her laughter clear and melodious like silver bells.
The vast blue sea stretched endlessly before her.
As she dashed forward, she glanced back at Zhao Yicheng, shouting playfully.
The water slowly reached her lower abdomen, then her thighs… and finally her waist.
As a modern-day accomplished lady, Xu Yinsheng naturally knew how to swim.
After all, with a beautiful young lady’s wet body tempting, most men would find it hard to resist.
Her movements in the water were graceful and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.
She was like a mermaid, the occasional splash gently caressing her smooth, fair skin, making her look even more enchanting.
Zhao Yicheng stood rooted, feeling somewhat… at a loss?
Indeed, he was completely at a loss.
Despite years of navigating the business world, multiplying his wealth several times over, or even watching half his assets evaporate overnight, he had never felt so disoriented as he did now.
Little Yin… seems even more lively now?
No longer lazy and confined like before, no longer stubbornly defiant in bed, she was more cheerful, genuinely like a couple on their honeymoon.
Some staff on the beach seemed to notice the “playfulness” of this young couple.
Without coordination, they all relaxed their work and turned their attention toward her.
Xu Yinsheng’s swimsuit was undeniably sexy, and her figure strikingly attractive, especially in the water—she was like a mermaid, ready at any moment to give everyone an astonishing visual treat.
Everyone watched as she swam over a hundred meters away, a small dark dot from afar. Xu Yinsheng turned around, cheekily sticking out her tongue at the already catching-up Zhao Yicheng.
Suddenly, her foot slipped, and she lost her balance.
The bitter, briny seawater filled her throat.
She couldn’t make a sound, and in Zhao Yicheng’s sight, she seemed to faint, slowly sinking beneath the surface.
Until the blue sea above showed no sign of Xu Yinsheng, as if she had merged into the mysterious deep blue like a water spirit.
After a frantic effort, Zhao Yicheng finally reached the spot where Xu Yinsheng had almost drowned. The water’s surface was calm—there was no trace of her.
His eyes were filled with anxiety, filled with regret over why he hadn’t caught up sooner.
His heart had never been this panicked before.
He lifted his head, taking a deep breath of the salty, bitter air above the sea.
Then, Zhao Yicheng plunged headfirst into the water.
Visibility was poor underwater, but Zhao Yicheng’s eyes showed no discomfort.
He spotted the red-haired beauty unconscious three meters below.
Without hesitation, he swam quickly toward her.
Once he reached her side, Zhao Yicheng immediately wrapped his arms around her and pulled her toward the surface.
Her tightly closed eyes quietly opened.
Xu Yinsheng looked up at the man’s anxious expression and gave a mischievous smile.
With a few light kicks, she swam out from Zhao Yicheng’s embrace, circling around his side like a nimble fish.
Seeing this, Zhao Yicheng hurriedly chased after her, wanting to grab her.
But before he could react, Xu Yinsheng had already turned around, her loose red hair flowing with the water and her movements like a red rose—beautiful and seductive.
She drew closer, her delicate face magnified in his eyes.
Zhao Yicheng stayed still, watching to see what she was up to.
Then, Xu Yinsheng did something he never expected.
In the cold seawater, he suddenly felt a warm touch on his lips—soft, tender, carrying the unique sweetness of a mature lady.
Zhao Yicheng’s eyes widened. Xu Yinsheng’s eyes, shining like gemstones, reflected clearly in his deep pupils, bright and transparent, as if they could draw him in completely.
That kiss was soft, warm, and sweet.
Like a massive stone thrown into the calm depths of Zhao Yicheng’s heart, ripples spread endlessly. Their eyes met underwater, and it felt like an electric current passed between them.
They surfaced together.
His hands wrapped around her slim waist, pulling her fully into his embrace.
Xu Yinsheng looked at him and at the man who, because of her prank, was showing such panic for the first time.
She smiled brightly.
“Congratulations, you caught me.”
“Now, I like you.”
