The sky above was clearly blue, and the sunlight was very bright, yet An Ruo’s mood was quite gloomy.
This place, no one will discover.
She had lived here for so long, observing the night sky every evening, and she had never seen a plane fly by.
In a place where not even planes passed by, how could others possibly find this place...
After walking by the seaside for a while, An Ruo found a hidden and cool spot under the shade of a tree to hide. She naively thought that if she hid here, Xingtian would not be able to find her—that would be wonderful.
Perhaps her nerves had been too taut lately, and she hadn’t rested well at night. As An Ruo sat there, she eventually leaned against the tree trunk and fell asleep.
She didn’t know how long she had slept, but she heard many people calling her, searching everywhere for her.
"Miss An, where are you?"
"Miss An."
"Miss An..."
Hearing the voices, she opened her eyes but lay still without moving. Let them search, it would be best if they couldn’t find her.
Footsteps approached her, but An Ruo was not anxious, knowing it was only a matter of ti before she would be found.
"I really can’t understand why the BOSS treats that woman so well. She defies the BOSS every day, constantly making him angry, yet I’ve never seen him punish her," a man complained dissatisfied.
An Ruo then heard another man’s voice, "The BOSS has taken a liking to her, so naturally he indulges her."
"Liking? What exactly does the BOSS see in her? What woman can’t he have? Why must he like her? Besides, that woman’s temperant is too stubborn, not at all likable. It won’t do for the BOSS to continue like this. In my opinion, it would be better to..."
"Better to what?"
The man chuckled, "The BOSS is skilled in hypnosis, he could simply wipe her mory clean, so she rembers nothing. Then, if he tells her to go east, she’ll no longer go west. Just like that man locked in the dungeon, dumb and foolish, completely at our rcy."
Upon hearing this, An Ruo’s heart skipped a beat.
She held her breath, not daring to move, not wanting them to find her now.
Yet the two n ca closer and closer, and with just a little more proximity, they would discover her presence.
"Hey, what are you two dawdling for, have you found her?" A man’s sharp voice ca from afar.
The two n, worried about being scolded, quickly said there was no one here, that they had already searched. The distant man then told them to search sowhere else, to which they nodded in agreent and hastily left.
An Ruo waited for them to be far away before she stealthily stood up and walked towards the castle as if nothing had happened.
On her way, she t a maid, and before she even walked into the living room, the maid’s voice rose high, "Boss, Miss An has been found, Miss An has been found!"
As soon as An Ruo stepped inside, her wrist was seized by Xingtian, who strode swiftly toward her, "An Ruo, where did you go? There’s nothing but sea everywhere here, I was really worried sothing had happened to you."
An Ruo responded indifferently, "I just took a walk and then fell asleep under a tree."
Xingtian looked into her eyes, ensuring she was not lying, before he let out a sigh of relief.
"I won’t allow you to wander alone again next ti. Although this small island isn’t very big, it’s still not easy to find soone if they get lost."
An Ruo pulled away from his grasp and walked past him towards the stairs.
"I’m tired, I want to rest."
Her indifference made the man’s mood very unpleasant.
Without a second thought, he grabbed her hand and held it tightly.
