Chapter 385: Chapter 385: Save on Three Meals a Day
Qin Youxuan was awakened by the loud cries of seagulls.
Groggily opening her eyes, she found herself alone and abruptly jumped up from the unfamiliar bed.
Barefoot, she climbed out of bed and ran to the balcony.
The bright sunshine illuminated the balcony, outside the window was an expanse of azure sea, with waves undulating on the surface.
Countless seagulls were foraging, occasionally landing on the nearby beach, their constant chatter filling the air.
The sea breeze stirred the waves, bringing a salty taste to her lips…
The sacred magic of nature quickly calmed her mind.
Qin Youxuan gripped the balcony railing tightly, half-closing her eyes, and leaned out to enjoy a rare moment of tranquility.
“You’re awake.”
A sudden deep, enchanting voice from behind caused her body to stiffen.
The next moment, a pair of strong arms wrapped around her waist, crossing over her body to link in front of her.
Dan Hanjie’s sturdy figure pressed against her, she could even feel the warmth of his chest through his shirt, transferring onto her.
Feeling unsettled, Qin Youxuan attempted to turn around. As if in response, Dan Hanjie tensed his hold, preventing her from moving.
“Do you like it here?” Dan Hanjie’s eyes lingered on the distant scenery as he finally spoke.
“I do, it’s beautiful here. Do you come here often?” Qin Youxuan squinted her radiant eyes, following his gaze.
Every bit of the view she took in delighted her.
In a place like this, all troubles seemed to recede. If you allowed yourself to relax completely, you could touch upon your truest self.
She loved it.
“We can come often if you like.” Hearing her response, Dan Hanjie formed a pleased smile.
As long as she was happy, frequent visits wouldn’t matter.
After taking in the view for a while, Dan Hanjie suddenly lifted her across his arms and returned to the room.
The floor-to-ceiling window was quickly closed, and the curtains drawn tight.
Before Qin Youxuan could react, he was already on top of her.
“Dan Hanjie…”
“This is our honeymoon.” Facing Qin Youxuan’s resisting gaze, Dan Hanjie paused briefly. His voice was low and laden with restraint.
“I’ve held back for a long time.”
“…”
Under his assertive demeanor, all of Qin Youxuan’s protests were in vain.
In a daze, Dan Hanjie placed a pillow under her hips.
Qin Youxuan stiffened up, her hazy consciousness suddenly becoming clear.
Dumbfounded, she looked at his perfect profile.
She remembered reading in a book that doing this improves fertility rates…
He was so eager to have a child…
Why?
Her mind was in a jumble. Before she could work it out, everything went black.
The next time she woke up, it was already evening.
Just like that, her first day of the honeymoon passed.
Moving her body, she felt like she was falling apart…
Dan Hanjie was gone again.
Qin Youxuan looked around but couldn’t find him anywhere.
By the time she changed her clothes and left the room, she realized that the villa was huge.
She found her way to the living room, where she saw Jiang Jinchen hunched over, eating hot noodles from a bowl. He looked pitiful, squatting on the couch like a little dog abandoned by its owner.
Upon noticing her, his long, peach blossom-shaped eyes narrowed. He suddenly let out a laugh, “Cousin, you woke up earlier than I expected. You’re just in time for dinner. I thought you guys were planning to skip all three meals today!”
“…”
At his words, Qin Youxuan’s face instantly turned as red as a tomato.
“Um, um…”
