Mu Qingyan thought there was something important, so he walked over with a serious face, only to find that Ji Liyun was just looking at travel guides for people visiting Sheng Island on an app.

Not only that, but Ji Liyun also showed him his collection: “I’ve saved several interesting shops, unique attractions, and highly-rated restaurants. We can try them all.”

It was clear that Ji Liyun wanted to have a good time before returning home.

However, since they had come all this way, Mu Qingyan naturally would not refuse: “It does look good. Let’s go eat lunch first, I’m a bit hungry.”

“I’ll take a look,” Ji Liyun looked through his collection and then chose a restaurant, saying, “Let’s go, we’ll have seafood.”

Mu Qingyan took out his phone to book a taxi, but Ji Liyun said, “No need to call a taxi. I already rented a car from the rental company on Sheng Island this morning.”

“Okay.”

Because there were many mountains on Sheng Island, Ji Liyun rented a Mercedes-Benz G500 off-road vehicle.

However, Mu Qingyan was a little surprised before getting in the car: “The color of this car is a bit flamboyant.”

He thought that according to Ji Liyun’s style, he would rent a black or dark gray car, but he didn’t expect it to be green with long stripes that were either light or dark.

Ji Liyun didn’t care and started the car while setting the navigation: “In China, of course, we have to maintain our image and be more stable, but since we’re abroad, why can’t we be ourselves?”

Oh, the CEO has a restless teenage heart.

Seeing Mu Qingyan trying to hold back his laughter, Ji Liyun pretended to be angry: “No laughing allowed!”

“Okay, okay, I didn’t laugh.”

Perhaps because they arrived at the restaurant after lunchtime, there weren’t many people dining there. Ji Liyun ordered several dishes with the highest ratings, and they also had two glasses of local non-alcoholic drinks.

This seafood restaurant lived up to its reputation, with fresh ingredients and excellent cooking skills. Every dish was to their taste.

While they were eating, Ji Liyun said, “I have some news that’s not good or bad. Do you want to hear it?”

Mu Qingyan was cutting a grilled octopus leg and asked, “About what?”

“When you were filming, the incident where Wei Ya was cut off,” Ji Liyun looked at him and said, “Initially, I thought since we were on vacation, we should put aside unhappy things. But then I thought you might want to know the current progress.”

“Of course,” someone said, not sure who it was, How will Mu Qingyan retaliate in the future? He’s not a saint, he’ll forgive the other party for almost getting killed.

Ji Liyun slowly said, “Wen Ye also told me that the police investigated and found out within a few hours that it was Ma Xiaofen who cut the steel wire.”

“Ma Xiaofen?” Mu Qingyan put down his knife and fork, furrowing his brows as he searched his memory, but he couldn’t remember when he had offended this person.

Ji Liyun saw his confusion and deliberately teased, “You may not know her, but you should have seen her.”

“Oh? When? Where?” Mu Qingyan was very curious.

“At the backstage of <Acting PK Battle> and she even broke into your dressing room. You should have also seen her on the set of <Lost in the Stars>.”

Mu Qingyan connected the dots between the variety show and the movie set and guessed, “She’s Xie Ming’s person?”

Ji Liyun nodded and finally said, “She’s Xie Ming’s assistant, that young girl in her early twenties.”

“Oh, I remember now. When I participated in the variety show, she was slapped by Xie Ming backstage, and even filmed by Xie Ming’s former fan.”

“Yes, Ah Yan has a good memory.” Ji Liyun smiled faintly and placed a large piece of lobster meat that had been shelled into Mu Qingyan’s bowl.

Mu Qingyan asked again, “After the police found out, what did Ma Xiaofen say?”

Ji Liyun continued to shell the lobster and said, “Ma Xiaofen admitted to it and said she did it.”

“Oh?” Mu Qingyan raised his eyebrows, finding it hard to believe. “She actually admitted to it? What was her reason for hurting me? Because I bullied Xie Ming?”

“Yes, she said she couldn’t stand you always targeting Xie Ming and felt that her boss was being bullied, so she wanted to retaliate against you.” Ji Liyun said indifferently.

Mu Qingyan laughed, “She’s always being insulted and slapped by Xie Ming, yet she’s still so loyal? Is she a masochist? I don’t believe it.”

Ji Liyun pointed out, “You don’t believe it, I don’t believe it, but it depends on whether the police believe it or not.”

“What’s the situation now?”

“Ma Xiaofen has been detained in the police station, and Xie Ming has completely distanced himself from the matter, claiming that his assistant made a mistake out of kindness and he was also helpless,” he said.

“Wen Ye’s high school classmate happens to be in charge of this case and wants to hear your thoughts. I told him we were on a business trip and wouldn’t be back for ten days, so let Ma Xiaofen continue to be detained.”

Mu Qingyan ate the lobster meat peeled by Ji Liyun and agreed, “Let’s detain her for a few more days and see if she will tell the truth.”

Ji Liyun said again, “I guess Xie Ming or Xing Hao must have ordered this, and Xing Hao spent a lot of money to keep her quiet.”

“If Xing Hao spent money to keep her quiet, then we’ll spend time to pry her mouth open.”

The two clinked glasses.

After lunch, they strolled leisurely in the busiest and most prosperous town of Shengdao Island. Because of their good figures and extremely high looks, they were approached by many girls for photos and chats along the way.

They saw newlywed couples taking wedding photos by the cliff and blue-roofed white walls, young boys and girls on their graduation trips, and an elderly couple in their seventies or eighties who choose different countries for vacation every year.

Seeing the happy faces of these people, Mu Qingyan couldn’t help but forget about all the annoying and troublesome things and enjoy this leisurely time.

As sunset approached, Ji Liyun took Mu Qingyan to a popular scenic spot according to a famous blogger’s travel guide to watch the sunset.

Perhaps because this scenic spot was really famous, when they arrived, it was already crowded with people, and many tourists had set up their tripods and were waiting to take photos of the sunset.

In the sky, the setting sun was descending, shining a beautiful reddish-golden color.

At this moment, a drone flew over their heads, and many people seemed to be whispering.

Mu Qingyan looked in the direction where the drone was flying and saw a man proposing. When the drone flew over to him, he took out a diamond ring and declared his love loudly.

The man who was proposed to was moved to tears, covering his mouth and nodding repeatedly.

Amid the cheers, the two embraced each other.

Mu Qingyan watched them, and even though they were strangers to her, she couldn’t help but wish them well in this atmosphere.

Beside him, Ji Liyun had been looking at his intently without turning away.

Suddenly, he asked curiously, “If you were proposed to, would you cry?”

Mu Qingyan was puzzled by the question and blurted out, “I’m a man, I should be the one proposing. Even if I were proposed to, I wouldn’t cry.”

“Oh.” Ji Liyun smiled and ruffled his hair.

As they watched the sunset side by side, Mu Qingyan suddenly received a message from Ye Qiqi, “Boss, the Northern Project is entering its second phase, and Xing Hao has made a move. Shall I report the details to you when you get back?”

Is Xing Hao finally revealing his hand?

Mu Qingyan’s mouth curled up, and he replied, “Tell me the details now.”
