Gao Zhe Yuan left, and Zhan Bei Jue looked at Jiang Nan Fang with a sullen face, holding the sunscreen.
"Take it off, isn't it that you can't reach your back and need a man to help you? Take it all off, I'll help you apply it."
Looking at his expression and sarcastic tone, it was as if she were his current wife.
What business was it of his, whether his ex-wife applied sunscreen or not?
Jiang Nan Fang covered herself with her shirt and leaned back on the lounge chair, "I'm not applying it."
Zhan Bei Jue continued his sarcastic remarks, "You're not applying it anymore? You like letting other men look, but you're acting all prim and proper when it comes to me?"
Could he speak properly? What did he mean by acting prim and proper?
Jiang Nan Fang pushed her sunglasses up and glared at him, reaching out to snatch the sunscreen.
"I'm not your wife, nor your girlfriend. Stop bossing me around."
"Zhan Bei Jue, you've crossed the line these past two days. Go back and look after your children."
"..."
Zhan Bei Jue was immediately choked by her words.
It was true, she wasn't his wife, nor his girlfriend. Even if she flirted with other men, he had no right to interfere.
Feeling down, he didn't have as many smiles when he accompanied the children.
The two children clearly sensed that their Daddy wasn't as happy as before and tried their best to coax him.
"Daddy, why don't you lie down next to Mommy to rest? We can play by ourselves, you don't have to accompany us."
"Yes. Mommy is also very lonely by herself. Why don't you go and talk to her?"
"Daddy, I want ice cream. Can you buy one for Mommy too?"
They were on an island, and it would seem a bit harsh not to let the children have ice cream.
In front of a nearby shop, everyone was holding an ice cream cone. Seeing Ge'er’s envy, Zhan Bei Jue went to buy four.
He gave them to the children first, and then went to Jiang Nan Fang’s side.
He didn't know if she was asleep, as she lay there motionless.
Zhan Bei Jue looked down at her delicate skin and her firm, curvaceous figure.
He felt a wave of heat surge from his head to his toes.
Strange, he always felt disgusted by other women, as if they were trash, making him want to vomit.
Why was it that every time he saw this woman, he couldn't control himself?
He didn't know what was so good about Jiang Nan Fang, he was truly ensnared by her!
"Do you want some ice cream?"
After watching her for a while, he sat down on the sand and, pretending not to care much, handed the ice cream to Jiang Nan Fang.
The beach was too lively, and Jiang Nan Fang couldn't sleep. She was merely resting with her eyes closed.
Feeling him touch her arm, she opened her eyes to look.
This "CEO," dressed in a floral shirt and sunglasses, with a touch of Southeast Asian flair, was actually starting to eat ice cream too.
"Don't you not eat this kind of trash?"
She still remembered what happened at the amusement park last time.
Zhan Bei Jue took a slow bite of the cream.
"I didn't want to eat it, but your son and daughter wanted it, so I'm having one with them. Do you have a problem with that?"
This man, who clearly wanted to try many things on many occasions, insisted on pretending to be forced.
Jiang Nan Fang sat up, took the ice cream, and while tearing open the wrapper, she mimicked his words.
"Zhan Bei Jue, if you were sweeter with your words and didn't speak so indirectly, I wouldn't dislike you so much."
The two children insisted on playing on the beach until eleven o'clock at noon.
The sun was getting stronger, and if they continued like this, they would turn into Africans.
Zhan Bei Jue forcibly took them home.
The small buckets were filled with many shells. The two little ones ran ahead, competing over who found more beautiful shells.
Jiang Nan Fang followed slowly behind, barefoot. As she walked, her foot suddenly ached.
"Hiss!" she cried out softly.
Zhan Bei Jue quickly turned around and saw her holding her leg, "What's wrong?"
"I don't know, it feels like something pricked my foot."
Jiang Nan Fang sat down on the sand, cradling her foot in pain.
Zhan Bei Jue quickly threw off his slippers and crouched in front of her.
Jiang Nan Fang brushed the sand off her foot, and blood was seeping from the sole.
Two dark objects were faintly embedded in it.
Zhan Bei Jue cupped her foot, "It looks like an oyster shell pricked you. Why weren't you watching where you were walking? You're not even as careful as a child."
"Don't move, I'll pull it out for you."
Jiang Nan Fang was a martial artist, how could she be so weak as to need help with such a small injury?
Before Zhan Bei Jue could act, she had already pulled out the splinter herself.
"There, it's not a serious injury. It's fine, let's go."
But it still hurt a little. As she stood up, she put her weight on her toes and walked forward with a slight limp.
Seeing that she wasn't showing weakness even in this condition, Zhan Bei Jue felt a pang in his heart.
This damn woman, did she not see herself as a woman, or did she not see me, Zhan Bei Jue, as a man?
He quickened his pace, caught up to her, and with a stretch of his long arm, Zhan Bei Jue lifted her and slung her over his shoulder.
Jiang Nan Fang was still trying to be strong, "Hey, hey, it doesn't hurt that much that I can't walk. Why are you carrying me?"
"What if dust gets in there and it gets infected, becoming worse and worse? Then I'll have a limp and a hobble, and won't I be the one embarrassed?"
Zhan Bei Jue lightly slapped her leg with his slipper.
"Shut up and lie still. If you say another word, I'll throw you into the sea."
The two children, wearing sunglasses and hats, walked ahead with their toy buckets, chattering and laughing.
He carried Jiang Nan Fang behind them, following at a leisurely pace.
What a harmonious and happy family of four scene.
Huo Dong Ning watched from a distance, filled with rage.
She secretly followed them all the way to the hotel lobby.
She watched them enter the elevator, then ran to inquire at the front desk.
"Excuse me, I'm a friend of Zhan Bei Jue's child. He left his phone with me on the beach just now. Could you please tell me their room number so I can send it up?"
The receptionist shook her head apologetically, "I'm sorry, madam, we cannot disclose guest privacy. You can leave the phone here, and we will help to forward it."
It seemed that inquiring about their accommodation this way was not possible.
Huo Dong Ning gave a forced smile, "Never mind, I'll give it to him another day."
She didn't believe they wouldn't come out after going inside.
Since she couldn't ask, she would wait outside.
Like waiting for a rabbit to run into a tree, Jiang Nan Fang, I will definitely wait until I see you.
With this plan, Huo Dong Ning didn't return to her own hotel during lunchtime.
Disguising herself, she sat in the lobby lounge.
An hour, two hours, three hours passed.
At two in the afternoon, Jiang Nan Fang changed into a white dress, put on a sun hat, and wore slippers. She finally walked out with a relaxed demeanor.
She was alone?
Seeing this, Huo Dong Ning's face lit up with joy.
This was fate giving her an opportunity.
You damn woman, how dare you make me lose face? If I don't teach you a lesson today, I'm not Huo Dong Ning!
The island's massages were famous both at home and abroad, a very influential part of the local tourism industry.
After lunch and a nap, the sun was too strong, so they couldn't go anywhere. The children played games in the room with Zhan Bei Jue.
Jiang Nan Fang's body was too weak and needed detoxification and rest, so she went out for a massage.
Walking alone on the street, Huo Dong Ning quietly followed behind.
