âHow come you are here for dinner? Where is Dan Hanjie?â Qin Youxuan awkwardly changed the topic, her gaze not daring to meet Jiang Jinchenâs directly.
Jiang Jinchen called her cousin, which made Qin Youxuanâs eyes flicker. This was also because of Dan Hanjie.
She knew herself well.
âHere, ask the butler if he wonât tell you. I asked him, but he didnât tell me.â Upon hearing her words, Jiang Jinchen, holding his chopsticks, pointed to the butler standing at the villaâs entrance, his face reflecting disgruntlement after being mistreated.
ââ¦â
Following his gaze, Qin Youxuan saw a middle-aged man greeting her respectfully, and she responded with a small smile.
âWould you need me to prepare dinner for Miss Qin? Mr. Jie might be back a little later.â Seeing Qin Youxuanâs smile, the butler respectfully bowed, anticipating her question, and explained before she could ask.
âDonât you know where he went either?â
âYes, Mr. Jie never reports his whereabouts to his servants.â
ââ¦â
These words sounded familiar. They were Yaoâs mantra â it seemed the butler of this villa had also come to adopt it.
Qin Youxuan curled her lips, pointing at the bowl of noodles in Jiang Jinchenâs hand, âYou can also make me a bowl of noodles.â
âYouâve got to be kidding! You are so frugal! I was hoping youâd show your culinary skills and let me have a good meal.â Jiang Jinchen shook his head in disappointment.
On his handsome face, there was a clearly visible bruise that had not been treated.
After one night, his face seemed to have swelled up more, but there didnât seem to be a hospital nearby.
Considering how much Jiang Jinchen cherished his face, it was no wonder his mood was sour.
Having found the reason, Qin Youxuan shrugged him off and started eating her noodles without a care.
She had not eaten all day and was truly famished.
Bowl in hand, without paying attention to Jiang Jinchen who was trying to strike up a conversation, she walked directly to the kitchen.
âWhat is this place?â
Qin Youxuan looked at the humble butler, the corner of her mouth lifting into a slight smile.
A simple smile that lit up her entire being, the butler was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned his head away, took a step back, and bowed respectfully.
âMiss Qin, this is a private island near the Pacific ocean. It is part of the area developed by the Dan Group, later bought by Mr. Jie. He named it Extreme Love Island.â
ââ¦â
Extreme Love Island, a place for extreme love?
Such a romantic name, it didnât seem like something he would come up with.
âIs this a tourist island?â
âNo, this is a private island, not open to the public, with no native inhabitants. The villas here are the only residences on the island. Besides some necessary facilities, most parts of this island are still undeveloped. Therefore, Miss Qin, whenever you go out, be sure to have someone accompany you to avoid getting lost.â
âCan I go out?â Qin Youxuan picked up on the key point in the butlerâs words and asked excitedly.
âOf course, Mr. Jie has not restricted Miss Qinâs freedom. He has just instructed that someone must accompany you to avoid any accidents.â the butler answered respectfully.
Afraid she might get into dangerâ¦
Wasnât it to prevent her from escaping?
âIs there a hospital or a pharmacy on this island?â Qin Youxuan bit her lip, her fingers slightly fidgeting with anxiety.
âIs Miss Qin feeling unwell?â The butler paused, lifting his head.
âNo, just asking out of curiosity. You mentioned that many parts of the island are still undeveloped; cases of accidents like tripping might occur. In case one gets injured, isnât there a pharmacy nearby?â
