Chapter 126—Part 1

After spending half the night by the seaside, Jiang Nian, determined not to let the beauty think she was weak, clung to him with trembling legs as they made their way back to the hotel room.

The moment she touched the bed, she was ready to surrender to sleep—beds were her safe space to show weakness.

But just as she collapsed, Xue Hang carried her into the bathroom for a hot bath.

She barely managed to hold on until she sank into the warm water, finally relaxing.

A hot bath felt so good… But it was all his fault for being so fierce!

Xue Hang shook his head helplessly.

What a silly girl.

The next morning, when Jiang Nian woke up, she realized the space beside her was already empty.

She burrowed into the blanket, staring blankly into space for a while.

She remembered how they had started in the driver’s seat last night and somehow ended up in the back seat.

The intensity of their passion left her legs weak just thinking about it.

The sea breeze should have been cool, yet it felt unbearably hot.

She had a strong suspicion she might have scratched the car seats beyond repair.

Covering her face with her hands, she thought to herself—who would have guessed that the beauty, who seemed so gentle and reserved on the surface, would actually enjoy such thrilling games? Truly, appearances can be deceiving!

As for how thrilling it was… it was probably beyond imagination!

Standing at the doorway, Xue Hang rubbed his nose, his ears slightly red.

This silly girl was already having such wild thoughts early in the morning.

It seemed she was quite energetic.

At least in matters of intimacy, they were not only compatible but also deeply satisfied.

Jiang Nian rolled around on the bed a few times before finally noticing Xue Hang leaning casually against the doorframe, watching her with amusement.

She coughed lightly and flashed a bright smile.

“Good morning, baby.”

…She might have sounded a little too cheerful, a little too enthusiastic.

It wasn’t her being shameless—it was just that the beauty was too good!

Xue Hang brought his fist to his lips, suppressing a smile.

“Can you get out of bed? We’re heading out to sea today. If you’re too tired, we can postpone it until tomorrow.”

Jiang Nian wasn’t someone who’d collapse after just one night with the beauty.

No way! She immediately raised her hand and declared, “Of course I can get up! We’re going today.”

Xue Hang: “…Oh.”

Well, then she shouldn’t blame him for not showing mercy later. 🙂

Jiang Nian’s physical fitness was indeed impressive, but the two-day, one-night sea trip still exhausted her thoroughly.

By the time they returned, she couldn’t keep up the act anymore and had to let Xue Hang carry her off the boat.

Lying on his shoulder, Jiang Nian reflected deeply on herself.

She was certain the issue wasn’t her stamina, nor could it possibly be the beauty’s fault… It must have been the boat! Yes, the constant swaying all night added unnecessary strain while they were busy under the covers.

Outrageous!

“Ow!” Why did he smack her butt?

“Sleep properly!”

“Oh…”

She obediently rested her head on his shoulder, feeling wronged but slowly dozing off.

The assistant and Jia Ping quietly brought Jiang Yu, Jiang Nian’s grandparents, and parents to the island.

They said Jiang Nian had just returned from a trip out to sea and was currently resting in her room.

They planned to have a meal first, then rest in their rooms, and later in the evening, Xue Hang would take Jiang Nian for a dinner on the beach, during which he would propose.

After the proposal, they would all come out to celebrate.

“Oh, right. President Xue’s parents, as well as Old Master Xue, are also here. Additionally, three childhood friends, Zhou Zhi, Zeng Kai, and Zhao Cheng, are staying in the villas next to yours.”

Currently, the island was exclusively reserved for their group, with all facilities and staff dedicated to serving them.

Even their transportation was via a private jet—this arrangement was not only grand but extremely expensive.

Jiang Yu marveled, feeling that poverty had truly limited her imagination.

Being rich was simply wonderful!

Grandpa and Grandma Jiang were a bit intimidated, and even Jiang’s parents couldn’t help but worry.

Xue Hang was too formidable and powerful.

If Jiang Nian was ever wronged after marriage, who would stand up for her? Even confronting Xue Hang wouldn’t compare to him casually lifting a finger.

Seeing the four elders so anxious, Jiang Yu quietly reassured them once they returned to their rooms:
“What are you worrying about? Jiang Nian and Xue Hang have been together for almost three years now. They’re just like any other young couple. And now, with such a grand proposal, even inviting us and his family and close friends, it’s clear how seriously Xue Hang takes this relationship. We just need to give them our blessings and not hold Jiang Nian back. There’s nothing else to worry about.”

Her words made sense, and the four elders finally calmed down.

After a brief discussion about their next steps, they had their meal and returned to their rooms to rest.

By nighttime, they dressed in formal attire and joined the festivities.
