Chapter 73 A sightseeing tour

“Kun, what’s up?”

“Xia Nuan, where are you now? I can pick you up.” There came the sound of Song Kuncheng with warm concern on the other side of the phone.

Xia Nuan smiled sweetly, but she refused politely, “That won’t be necessary, Kun. I’m working now. I can’t go back tonight, and may stay here for a few days.”

“But I’m worried about you.”

“No need, Kun, I will go back tomorrow…”

As Xia Nuan was on the phone, she walked towards the door, rotating the door handle and trying to answer the phone outside. However, the handle seemed to be locked automatically, so she could not open the door.

Ye Sichen sat there with a grim face, looking at her from time to time. Even though she was very careful to lower her voice, he still heard she called “Kun” clearly.

His hand taking a newspaper tightened slightly.

After she explained the matter to Song Kuncheng, Xia Nuan hung up the phone.

“Mr. Ye, you ought to take a break early, and I will not bother you.” Out of courtesy, Xia Nuan said that to Ye Sichen and was ready to leave.

Xia Nuan went to the door and rotated the handle with great efforts again. She wanted to ask Ye Sichen to help her, but she would feel a little embarrassed if she did so.

“Mr. X is here. There is a chance that he would look for you.” Ye Sichen said slowly.

Xia Nuan was nervous and let go of the handle slightly.

Ye Sichen continued, “He likes to be mysterious and may go to your room while you do not know, so you’d better be careful!”

Ye Sichen knew much about Mr. X’s temperament.

Xia Nuan became more flustered.

What Ye Sichen said was true. The man in mask would definitely appear when she did not know.

Xia Nuan wanted to leave, but she did not want to see Mr. X again!

“Mr. Ye, can you figure out a way and tell him to leave Zhongshan City? You are his friend.”

Xia Nuan begged Ye Sichen euphemistically.

Ye Sichen smiled lightly, but his eyes were still cold.

“The only way is very simple. You can’t get out of my sight, because he won’t do any nasty business in front of me.”

Xia Nuan did not say anything, then she thought about it and returned to the room, “I sleep on the sofa, and you can call me at any time.”

She did not dare to go out.

She was afraid to meet Mr. X.

The man was like a beast when they made love and could make her exhausted.

Ye Sichen ignored Xia Nuan’s words, then he went straight to the bedroom.

But as Ye Sichen left, the lights in the drawing room suddenly went out. There was darkness all over the place.

Xia Nuan’s head was blank.

Last time when she was at Feicheng Arena, Mr. X cut off the power supply and sneaked into her room…

“Mr. Ye!” Xia Nuan ignored her reserved nature, jumped up from the sofa and ran straight to Ye Sichen’s bedroom.

“Bang bang bang.”

Xia Nuan kept knocking the door, “Mr. Ye, please open the door.”

Xia Nuan’s voice sounded a little scared in the dark.

She was afraid that Mr. X would force her to do the nasty business. Especially this was still Ye Sichen’s private room!

When Xia Nuan knocked again, the door was suddenly opened, then she instantly fell into Ye Sichen’s arms.

She had not kept her feet, but Ye Sichen firmly gripped her waist.

Xia Nuan became more nervous when she looked at his black and deep eyes.

The sorrowful past was still vivid in her mind.

She thought about Ye Ranni’s humiliation, Madam Ye’s contempt and Luo Dai’er cynicism to her. And him, he pinched her hand at that time and viewed her as Lacy’s mistress, saying her so-called freedom was to sleep with men…

She was not worthy of him, but she did not intend to match him, why should he say such words to humiliate her? Why did he think of her so dirty?

Xia Nuan felt depressed to remember these. Then she broke away from his arms and kept distance with him.

However, Ye Sichen also had his own grievance.

Ye Sichen complained that she shouldn’t kill the little one privately, that she wanted to leave him again and again, that she would rather have sex with Mr. X in mask than be touched by him.

Although Mr. X was another identity of him, she did not know the truth. In her eyes, he and Mr. X were two different people.

“You want me to protect you?” There was a little questioning in his cold voice.

Xia Nuan shook her head and looked down. She did not want Ye Sichen to see her tears.

“Then why did you knock the door? Since there is nothing, you can go out.” Ye Sichen took off his coat slowly, revealing his strong upper body.

Xia Nuan blushed and immediately shifted her gaze.

“I am afraid that Mr. X would come here, so I don’t want to stay in the drawing room.” She even doubted that Mr. X might be one of Paul and Dawson who travelled with Ye Sichen.

Now she was being monitored by Mr. X. As long as she went out of the sight of Ye Sichen, maybe Mr. X would look for her and force her to do things she did not like.

“If you had slept with him for many times, you should get on well with each other. You don’t have to hide from him.” Ye Sichen said with a sneer.

Xia Nuan bit her lips with no words. Ye Sichen’s words pierced her heart like thorns, which made her very uncomfortable.

“Mr. Ye, even if you refuse to help me, you don’t have to dig at me like this.”

After Xia Nuan said it, she turned around and was about to leave.

But looking at the darkness outside, she flinched.

“You sleep on the bed, and I sleep on the sofa.” Ye Sichen said slowly behind Xia Nuan.

Ye Sichen’s words were orders, so Xia Nuan had to agree with it.

Xia Nuan lay on the bed at this quiet night, but her heartbeat was thumping, like a deer bumping.

Was she dreaming?

Undoubtedly, they had a long distance, but now she was lying in his room. He should have stayed in Feicheng City, but now he should come to this remote place, Zhongshan City…

Why did he come here?

For a long time, she did not either watch TV Channel about him or watch his videotape and record, just to forget him. But the moment she saw him, all her previous efforts were in vain.

Xia Nuan closed her eyes slowly, with a drop of tears flowing from her eyes.

The next day, Xia Nuan went to Mount Phoenix with Ye Sichen, Paul and Dawson.

Xia Nuan had always kept distance with Paul and Dawson, and never stayed alone with either of them. She was afraid that one of them was Mr. X.

Staying next to Ye Sichen, she felt safe.

They climbed up Mount Phoenix, standing on the top of the mountain and overlooking the green scenery below, which made them shocked.

Ye Sichen wore a mask and a cap, standing there and looking at Xia Nuan who was stretching arms and embracing nature. There was a smile on his serious face. But he didn’t even notice that.

“When you are in bad mood, you ought to open your hands like this, close your eyes and throw out all your irritations, then you will feel better.” Xia Nuan said softly.

Ye Sichen did not do as she said, but turned around to walk toward the temple.

Xia Nuan had to follow him.

When they arrived at the temple, there were many pilgrims coming to offer incense and worship.

Ye Sichen felt curious, so he followed these pilgrims. Since he did not believe in this, he just stood in front of the Buddha statue and watched how the pilgrims came to offer incense and worship.

Other pilgrims were squatting devoutly, but he stood there alone, which made the abbot very dissatisfied.

Xia Nuan was a little embarrassed, so she had to pay for the incenses, then she prayed and worshiped.

After doing that, Xia Nuan was about to leave with Ye Sichen.

Ye Sichen curiously looked back at the scene from time to time, “Do you also believe that?”

Xia Nuan smiled, “Do as the Romans do. If I do not offer incense and worship, the abbot will kill me with his eyes.”

“Don’t do that if you don’t like it. I can give him the money directly.” Ye Sichen said lightly.

“Then the abbot would be very embarrassed. He would even think that we treat him as a beggar.”

Ye Sichen nodded and did not say anything.

“Let’s make a wish. If you are sincere, your wish will come true.”

After two girls finished worshipping, they walked toward Yuelao Temple in the north in a good mood.

Xia Nuan could not help pausing her steps.

Xia Nuan also followed the two girls and walked over. Ye Sichen was like a follower and had to follow her.

Ye Sichen stood under Yuelao Temple, looked at Yuelao Statue, and asked Xia Nuan curiously, “Who is the old man?”

Xia Nuan said, “It’s Yuelao. He unites men and women together.” She drew out a bamboo stick, which was for blessing, and thought it over.

“What do you mean ‘unite’?” Ye Sichen did not understand, but he was particularly interested in these ancient legends.

“All the lovers in the world are united by him, which means that if a boy sees a girl, and then they fall in love with each other. That would be the credit of Yuelao.” Xia Nuan explained.

Ye Sichen suddenly understood, “That is to say, he is the Cupid of the East.”

Xia Nuan smiled, “Yes, you can understand like this.”

“Then what are you doing here? Do you want Mr. Yue Lao to promise you a prince charming? Ye Sichen asked Xia Nuan.

“No, I make a wish for my loved ones.” Xia Nuan blushed and went there to engrave on the stick.

She engraved the words on the stick, and then tied it to the red ropes as others did.

After leaving the temple and Mount Phoenix, Ye Sichen proposed to take a fishing boat.

Now he was the customer, so Xia Nuan had to follow his orders.

Xia Nuan hired a fishing boat, and they took the boat to the fishing village. Along the way, there were a lot of enthusiastic fishermen greeting them. Ye Sichen waved to them friendly and took photos of the warm scenes with his camera.

At this moment, he felt that it was good to be an ordinary person.

He could make a sightseeing tour. No one would block him, let alone traffic jams.

“They seem to be poor, but they are the happiest and most pure people.” Ye Sichen could not help sighing with emotion.

Xia Nuan supported her chin and wanted to look at Ye Sichen forever like this.

How could anyone dislike such a man? However, she could only look at him in this way without thinking too much…

Ye Sichen ordered the fisherman to drive the boat beside these fishermen.

The man did so. After a while, there was the fishermen’s laughter on the sea when the boat was integrated into the fishermen’s place.

Whenever Ye Sichen approached a fishing boat, he would buy a fish, communicate with the fishermen’s kids kindly and stuff them with much money.

In fact, he was just making excuses for his charity.

He found them without decent trousers, so he was willing to give them the money. In the eyes of others, his behavior was a bit silly, but for Xia Nuan, he was the kindest and perfect man in the world.

The fishing boat docked on a shore. There was a small fishing village, with twilight covering the land and smoke curling up from kitchen chimneys, which was so quiet.

“Dawson, go to Mount Phoenix to help me with one thing…” Ye Sichen lowered his voice and ordered Dawson.

Dawson nodded. He sent Ye Sichen to the shore, then he returned to the fishing boat, leaving Paul alone with Ye Sichen and Xia Nuan.

Xia Nuan looked for a residential house for Ye Sichen to sleep at night.

They were in one room. After they had dinner, Xia Nuan accompanied Ye Sichen to visit these people from house to house.
