Chapter 241: The secret of the 13 days
Translator: 549690339
Fu Nanli’s expression turned increasingly grim. After all the numbers were clear in his mind, he came to a conclusion-
13 days.
He sat in the car and put down his phone. He pinched the space between his eyebrows, his eyes dark and gloomy.
He then recalled what she had said to him in Xiaotang mountain after she was drunk …
‘I can’t live without you. Without you, I’ll die.’
His heart suddenly beat faster, and his eyes were filled with turbulent emotions.
He seemed to have entered a state of solitude, and his eyes were filled with endless loneliness.
She stayed by his side because she was forced to.
After a long silence, his eyes were filled with complicated emotions. He had never smoked in a car before, but for the first time, he asked for a cigarette from his bodyguard, Qin bei, and started smoking with a frown.
The car drove along the long coastline.
Fu Nanli’s brows gradually relaxed.
The darkness in the depths of human nature had occupied his thoughts. Wasn’t it a good thing that Qiao ‘er couldn’t leave him?
Even if it was just to save her life, she had to stay by his side.
He didn’t have much hope, as long as she was by his side.
Thinking about it, she lowered her head and laughed at herself. When did he become so low?
No matter what, he would try to return within ten days and not let her be on edge.
Wen Qiao was practically counting her fingers as she passed her days. Every day, she would ask Fu Nanli if things were going smoothly and if he could return on time.
Later on, she felt that she was being too obvious, so she resisted the urge to contact him.
However, Fu Nanli would send her a message every night, telling her that everything was going well and that she could return to Haicheng on time.
It was as if he was trying to make her feel at ease.
By the time Fu Nanli was done with his matters, it was exactly ten days. The next day, he planned to return to Haicheng.
He made a video call to Wen Qiao, who was already on the bed, sprawled under the covers, looking at him with a smile.
“I’m going back to Haicheng tomorrow,”
Wen Qiao heaved a sigh of relief. Luckily, it was within ten days, and she didn’t have to travel thousands of miles to see him.
He shouldn’t be suspicious.
“Okay, see you tomorrow.”
Fu Nanli told her some of the things he had seen and heard on the island. the island is quite big, and there’s a lot of greenery. The sea is blue, and there’s a rare pink sand on the beach. When the setting sun shines down, it passes through the leaves of the palm trees and bathes on the small wooden house. If we had a swing at the entrance, it would probably be very pleasant.
Wen Qiao imagined that scene and nodded. yes, it’s very beautiful. Are you going to use it for tourism? ”
“Yes.”
The two of them chatted until late into the night, until Wen Qiao’s eyelids were twitching and she fell asleep on the pillow. Fu Nanli watched her sleeping face for a while longer before hanging up the video call.
When he woke up the next morning, he picked up his phone out of habit, planning to send Wen Qiao a message to tell her the details of the flight so that she could pick him up at the airport. That way, she could see him immediately and relax.
There was no signal at all.
There was a signal tower on this Island, and during the few days he was here, he contacted Wen Qiao every day.
There wasn’t any Typhoon or storm last night, so why was there suddenly no signal?
He left the room and the caretaker of the island ran over in a hurry. “Mr. Fu, something happened on the island.”
what? ” Fu Nanli’s heart sank. what is it? ”
first, the signal tower is broken. Second, all the ships are broken. We may not be able to leave the island for a while. I’ll try to find a way, but I don’t know who’s playing a prank. Fortunately, there’s sufficient food and water on the island, so you can rest assured and stay for a few days.
How could Fu Nanli be at ease?
The signal tower was broken, and so were the ships.
This didn’t seem like a prank.
It was a deliberate act, just to prevent him from leaving the island.
At the thought of this, Fu Nanli’s expression suddenly turned dark. What was the purpose of deliberately not letting him leave the island? Was it to prevent him from seeing Wen Qiao as scheduled?
So did anyone else know about the thirteen days?
