She took the itinerary and studied closely.
Today’s schedule was pretty simple—just sailing out to a beautiful island by boat. There were many activities on the little island, including a bonfire party at night. The hotel came with various interesting themes. Apart from shuttle services to the hotel after a long tiring day, there were also hot springs which sounded fascinating.
Yan agreed immediately as she planned to take more pictures with Han Qing at some beautiful spots on the little island—those taken on the bed last night were just inappropriate.
Looking at Yan’s satisfied expression, the crew was relieved. Just a moment ago, he was still worrying that his last-minute planned schedule would be a flop. But well, at least the customer was satisfied now.
Just when everyone was getting ready to depart, someone had joined the crowd.
“Yan, where are you going?”
Surprised by the unexpected voice and the sight of this person, Yan glanced toward the newcomer.
Lin Qin’er?
When did she come? Yan was not aware of her arrival at all.
While she was puzzling over the unexpected event, Lin Qin’er approached her. “Yan, why do you ignore me?”
Yan came around. “Nothing, why are you here? Have you recovered from the injuries? You should be resting in the hotel now.”
“It’s too boring in the hotel. I was alone and tired, so can I tag along with you?”
Tagging along with them? Yan was reluctant as this was a good opportunity to be alone with Han Qing. Ever since she sensed the motive of Lin Qin’er, she was no longer willing to go out with her.
Sensing the hesitation from Yan, Lin Qin’er approached her and grabbed her arm. “Yan, please bring me along! It’s really boring to stay alone in the hotel.”
As a soft-hearted person, Yan felt bad for declining Lin Qin’er. But since she was not alone on this trip, she turned to Han Qing for his permission.
Knowing what she was going to ask, Han Qing spoke softly, “You can do whatever you want. You don’t have to ask me.”
The affection was all over his eyes and face. It seemed that as long as Yan didn’t commit any felony, he would always agree to whatever she wanted to do.
Such a man and such affection. Why can’t I have all these? Lin Qin’er thought. She was jealous and wished if it could be all hers.
Now, she needed to hurry up and do something.
“Alright, you can tag along with us, but I need to ask the crew whether we can bring an extra person.”
The crew member—who had been standing next to Lin Qin’er and Yan from the beginning—heard everything they had said.
When he heard that Yan was going to ask him, his face turned awkward in an instant.
“The trip is customized for two persons. There would be problems if we were to add another person…”
Immediately, Yan was thrilled. Maybe she was selfish after all, but it would be better if her problem could be solved by someone else.
Unfortunately, Lin Qin’er replied in the next second, “Don’t worry, I will pay for my own expenses. How much is it?”
Upon hearing, the crew who was still reluctant a moment ago brightened up and agreed.
“Okay, so this is settled. You will pay for all your expenses. After all, there will be surcharges for one extra person.”
The crew was relieved that the problem was solved, thinking that he had accomplished something. Mr. Han and Mrs. Han should be very happy too, right?
Turning his head, he was startled to meet Yan’s woeful stare. All of a sudden, he realized that he had made a mistake and wanted to bite his tongue to kill himself.
How come he was so dumb? The couple came here for a trip and certainly didn’t want a gooseberry tagging along. Why hadn’t he thought of this earlier? Why did he only think about money? If the couple was unhappy when the trip was over and left him a bad review, all his bonus for the first half year would be gone…
But the milk has been spilt, the crew member thought to himself, feeling miserable.
Sigh, it looks like I have no choice but to play it by ear. I will follow the couple closely and do whatever I can to create any opportunity for them to be alone.
Whatever it took for his half-yearly bonus!
When they got on the board, the crew member looked at Yan resolutely and whispered, ”Don’t worry, Mrs Han. I will not let you down.”
Hearing that, Yan was confused. What just happened? What did he mean by he would not let me down? What was the crew member trying to do?
Before Yan could ask anything, the crew had turned to leave.
She was confused but she returned to her seat anyway. There was no one else sitting on their row, but Yan wanted to be closer to the water, so Han Qing exchanged his seat with her.
When she returned, she saw that Lin Qin’er had reached their row and was approaching the seat which Yan had picked earlier.
Immediately, her expression changed. Before she could utter anything, someone had spoken coldly, “You made the wrong way.”
It was Han Qing. To reach the seat on the inside, one must pass by Han Qing. Therefore, when Lin Qin’er wanted to move inside, Han Qing abruptly stretched out his long leg, blocking her way while mercilessly staring at her.
Without expecting Han Qing to be so mean to her, Lin Qin’er mumbled, “Mr. Han, can’t I sit inside? There are still plenty of seats outside anyway.”
With that, Lin Qin’er pointed toward the seat on the outside next to Han Qing.
Yan wanted to go over, but she remained at her spot upon seeing this scene. She wanted to see how Han Qing would handle the rest.
But Han Qing had taken back his gaze and ignored Lin Qin’er.
Lin Qin’er was furious. She just wanted to sit on the inside, but she didn’t expect Han Qing to be so mean. He blocked her way and ignored her completely.
She was so embarrassed. Unwilling to give up, she had her eyes on the seat on the other side of Han Qing.
Just when she was about to sit, the cold voice spat again, “I already told you that you have made the wrong way. Why are you still here?”
Lin Qin’er raised her head in shock and found Han Qing’s stare piercing through her. Stunned, she blurted, “What? Which wrong way did I make? I can’t sit there and now I can’t sit here too?”
“Yes.” Han Qing nodded without hesitation.
Lin Qin’er stammered after hesitating for a while, “But why? Mr. Han, do you have any misunderstanding with me?”
