The sunlight penetrated through layers of clouds, falling upon the earth and shining upon the ocean, making the island surrounded by the sea exceptionally beautiful, and the scenery was equally exquisite.
Everyone who came to Ye Xunhuan’s kingdom couldn’t help but marvel at the beauty of the place, while also thinking that Ye Xunhuan truly knows how to enjoy life, having created a private island here!
Most importantly, very few people know the exact location of this island, making any attempt to attack Ye Xunhuan’s base as unrealistic as a dream.
All the guests attending Ye Xunhuan’s wedding were being led to their accommodations while savoring the scenery.
Some guests who arrived yesterday were also enjoying the view, except for one person who had no interest in it whatsoever.
And that person was the King!
Although Olivia had let the King go, the King knew that being released now didn’t guarantee survival later!
As long as he remained on this island, Ye Xunhuan would never desist from dealing with him!
He surely wanted to see him dead here.
For a moment, the King felt trapped in a dire situation, powerless and regretful for not heeding Xiao Jiangnan’s advice to avoid coming here and let Ye Xunhuan do whatever he wished.
But there is no such thing as a regret remedy for sale in this world, and even with regret, it served him no use.
He wanted to leave, but he couldn’t; planes here were strictly guarded, even yachts were overseen and utilized by others!
In a sense, the King was completely trapped with nowhere to escape, confined on this island.
Swiftly, he sighed lightly, his face filled with an expression of helplessness: "Could it be that I, the King, am really doomed to perish here?"
As his voice faded, a strong bitterness slowly surfaced on the King’s face.
He wasn’t willing to accept being doomed here, yet he had no choice now; Ye Xunhuan wouldn’t let him go. Who would collaborate with him anyway? Who dared?
Considering this was Ye Xunhuan’s territory, and he, the King, was a leader among Huaxia’s Protectors, he was camped with different people here, none willing to ally with him for anything.
In fact, others might even wish for Ye Xunhuan to execute him if they found out about this!
The words "isolated and helpless" are now most appropriately used to describe the King.
...
After Ye Xunhuan left here with Qiu Ruoxi, he didn’t bother the King, nor did he look for him; instead, he called Zuo En over, and they whispered about something unknown.
When Zuo En left, his face was very serious; presumably, Ye Xunhuan had entrusted him with something, otherwise, he wouldn’t be so grave.
Time flew by swiftly, and night had fallen before they knew it, and it was also dinner time.
However, this time, Ye Xunhuan didn’t have dinner with Qiu Ruoxi in the manor; instead, he went to a wide-open area on the island.
The area was already set up, with bonfires lighting up the surroundings alongside a dedicated stage.
The whole setup was like an outdoor evening party!
When Qiu Ruoxi was brought here by Zuo En and saw everything before her, a smile immediately appeared on her face.
She had never had dinner like this before, especially with so many people.
"Where is Xunhuan?" Qiu Ruoxi scanned around, and when she didn’t find Ye Xunhuan, she couldn’t help but ask.
"Your Majesty, please sit down first!"
Zuo En then led Qiu Ruoxi to the main seat, where she sat down, while Zuo En stood quietly beside her like a guardian.
As Qiu Ruoxi sat down, the others nearby seemingly received a signal and simultaneously tapped on their tables.
The next moment, a loud bang was heard, followed by fireworks filling the entire sky, bursting widely and forming six large words in the air—"Qiu Ruoxi, I love you!"
This sudden change stunned Qiu Ruoxi, and upon seeing the words created by the fireworks, her heart was immediately enveloped by warmth, filled with emotion.
The fireworks went on endlessly, filling the surroundings, each varying in color; yet the words "Qiu Ruoxi, I love you" persistently lingered in the sky, refusing to fade!
Watching this heartwarming scene, Qiu Ruoxi felt exceedingly sweet inside, as if she had eaten honey.
She never imagined Ye Xunhuan would create such a spectacle for her, and so romantic too.
She had known Ye Xunhuan for quite a while, but he had never played anything romantic with her, and now was the first time!
This single instance had made Qiu Ruoxi deeply moved!
Just as the fireworks continued, the sound of humming suddenly echoed in the sky.
Next, raindrops seemed to fall from the sky, but they were magenta!
Petal rain!
Yes, it was petal rain!
Helicopters hovered in the air, scattering petal rain!
At the same time, the bonfires illuminating the surroundings extinguished all at once, plunging the entire area into darkness.
Subsequently, numerous lights flashed around, turning the whole venue into a beautiful spectacle, like paradise, incredibly beautiful, making one want to immerse oneself deeply!
The scenes before Qiu Ruoxi caused her significant visual impact, as well as unprecedented warmth and romance.
The island wasn’t large, yet with Ye Xunhuan’s grand gesture, naturally many people saw it.
Su Guyan and others also saw the six big words in the sky—"Qiu Ruoxi, I love you!"
Seeing these words filled the hearts of Su Guyan and other women with envy, jealousy, and resentment.
They truly envied Qiu Ruoxi, from the bottom of their hearts.
Every woman likes romance, desires romance, especially when the romance is delivered by the man she loves. Yet, the grandest romance was given by Ye Xunhuan to Qiu Ruoxi, never enjoyed by any of them.
Perhaps they might experience it in the future, but could it be the same as the first?
Besides, nobody knew how long Ye Xunhuan planned this, nor how many people he involved, but surely the colorful lights alone cost a fortune!
At this moment, the word "envy" became the symbol for the hearts of Su Guyan and the others.
Su Guyan and the others were envious, but some felt disdain.
On a tall building, a middle-aged man gazed at the scene before him, speaking softly: "My son-in-law can certainly pull this off, but this romance, wouldn’t it be better if it were for my daughter!"
