On the other side of the beach, two people were passionately kissing, automatically blocking out all the surrounding sounds. When the kiss ended, a silver thread was drawn from their parted lips.
Xu Ke reached out and wiped Ariel’s mouth corner, "I’ve not visited you these days. Are you mad at ?"
"Not mad, just miss you a lot, wondering when you’ll co to see . Yet, you heartlessly left alone in Arica, while you went off to have fun with your wife. It really made angry." Ariel lightly punched Xu Ke’s shoulder, just like scratching an itch, making Xu Ke’s heart soften as he grabbed Ariel’s hand and kissed it.
"It’s my fault. I’ll visit you often from now on." Xu Ke kissed Ariel’s mouth corner again, with a bit of heartache and guilt in his eyes.
"Have you been okay on your own these days?" Xu Ke casually sat down on the sand and pulled Ariel into his arms to prevent the sand from dirtying her dress.
Ariel pouted, "I’ve been okay. My father’s old subordinates ca looking for , trying to kill , but I fought back. Also, I’m tired of Arica, so I decided to travel, and here I am. But all this while, I spent your friend’s money. Rember to pay him back for ." Ariel obediently leaned on Xu Ke’s chest, her small hands clutching a corner of Xu Ke’s shirt.
"Okay. You weren’t hurt, were you?" Xu Ke asked, sowhat worriedly.
"Of course I was. I got a long scar on my lower back; it’s really ugly," Ariel pouted, complaining, which startled Xu Ke. Ignoring everything, he wanted to lift Ariel’s skirt to check her lower back, but his hand was imdiately pressed down by Ariel.
"What are you doing?" Ariel turned her head to look at Xu Ke with a blush, asking.
"Stop it, let see the injury on your back. I want to see what’s wrong," Xu Ke’s face was sowhat dark, tinged with a hint of nace.
Ariel appreciated Xu Ke’s intense reaction. She pulled his hand over, holding it like a treasure in her arms, turned her head, and kissed Xu Ke’s face twice, her eyes sparkling like twinkling stars, captivating and bright.
"I haven’t finished speaking, why so anxious? I found the scar on my back ugly, so I had it removed. So even if you want to see it now, there’s nothing to see." Ariel winked at Xu Ke playfully.
"It’s all my fault. I should have kept you by my side. If I had, you wouldn’t have been hurt," Xu Ke lowered his head, placing a kiss on Ariel’s nape.
Deep inside, he felt he owed Ariel. He had taken her body but only stayed with her for a few days before leaving, gone for months, and the contact in between had faded due to the ti difference. If he hadn’t t her today, perhaps he would soon forget there was a woman who had once been with him.
Reflecting on how much attention he diverted to Lin ngyao and Yu Xia, ignoring Ariel far away in another country, Xu Ke felt too guilty to lift his head.
Ariel seed to see through Xu Ke’s thoughts. Although she relished this feeling of being cherished, she didn’t want Xu Ke to be too upset.
"Don’t overthink. Anyway, I’m in your arms now, and that makes very happy." Ariel squinted her eyes, smiling, softening Xu Ke’s heart. At this mont, probably whatever Ariel wanted, Xu Ke would agree to.
"I’ve made you wronged by being with ," Xu Ke said.
"Not wronged at all, how could I be? Being with you makes extrely happy," Ariel replied.
While the two were speaking softly on the beach, Zhong Boyu, who was also at the beach, suddenly spotted Xu Ke and the foreign girl in Xu Ke’s arms. The sight shocked him, making his jaw drop. He pulled off the sunglasses from his face, utterly stunned, unable to process it.
"I must be seeing things. I must have mistaken it," Zhong Boyu muttered to himself, trying to psychologically convince himself, and promptly took out his phone to call Xu Ke.
As soon as the call connected, Zhong Boyu loudly said, "Xu, did you co to the beach? I’m telling you, I saw a guy on the beach who looks just like you, holding a foreign girl. Isn’t it amazing, the wonders of the world?"
Xu Ke listened silently to Zhong Boyu talk non-stop, and when he finished, Xu Ke awkwardly chuckled twice, glancing at Ariel’s eyes that held a trace of amusent, and helplessly said, "That person you’re talking about is ."
Zhong Boyu was suddenly like a chicken strangled by fate, all sounds vanished instantly.
"Co over, I might as well introduce you," Xu Ke said again, ending the call, looking at the two embraced on the beach with a sowhat dazed expression.
Zhong Boyu did not even know how he walked over. By the ti he realized it, he was already standing in front of Xu Ke. He had never imagined there would be a day Xu Ke would cheat.
"This is Ariel, whom I t in Arica. She’s also your sister-in-law," Xu Ke introduced Ariel to Zhong Boyu.
Ariel, holding Xu Ke’s hand, stood by his side. Hearing Xu Ke’s words, she flashed a sweet smile at Zhong Boyu and raised her hand to greet him.
Zhong Boyu, though still in shock, didn’t falter in manners, and after briefly introducing himself to Ariel, he pulled Xu Ke aside, a slight distance from Ariel, and quietly asked.
"What’s going on here? How co there’s another sister-in-law? Do they know each other? How are you going to explain this to the other one, and didn’t you say you wanted to be with only one person for life?" Zhong Boyu quietly questioned.
Xu Ke’s expression beca sowhat complicated, "It’s a long story. Yaoyao hasn’t been able to accept this situation yet, but I can’t abandon Ariel. The days I’ve spent with Ariel have been joyful and relaxing, and Ariel now has no ho or family. If possible, I want to keep Ariel by my side, even if we don’t live together, it’s fine," Xu Ke said.
"Does the eldest sister-in-law know about your thoughts?" Zhong Boyu asked a rather practical question.
"I haven’t told her yet, but even if she disagrees, I still can’t leave Ariel abroad, as it’s far too unsafe for her." Xu Ke rubbed his nose in frustration.
"If the eldest sister-in-law disagrees, leave her to . I’ll ensure the younger sister-in-law is well taken care of," Zhong Boyu said.
