Chapter 90: “I Miss You”
<Previous Chapter<Table of Contents>Next Chapter>
After landing, An Bu used Gu An’s identity to purchase a ticket to R country. Although taking a plane was faster, it was inconvenient to bring the Hun Yi offspring. Its size was similar to a fish fry, placed in a water tank slightly larger than a makeup box, and it passed through security onto the passenger ship with no issues.
The Hun Yi offspring had no specific form. According to the description in the Book of Life and Death, this creature had extremely adaptable abilities. It could adjust its form at any time and purify the surrounding environment. In necessary situations, it could even survive in any environment, whether in the sky, on land, or in the ocean. However, it had a stronger affinity for water compared to other environments.
With the Hun Yi offspring in tow, An Bu returned to R country, rented a car to go to Bolin City, retrieved her phone, and then headed straight to the Bin Xia coast. She expected the sea-view house she planned to buy to be near Bin Xia coast. It was a duplex villa with an area of over 100 square meters, priced at approximately 12 million R yuan, equivalent to around 1.6 million RMB.
R country was just a small island nation with a sparse population, and the property policies were relatively favorable. Most of the sea-view houses were wooden structures, facing the mountains and the sea, a bit far from the city center but with beautiful scenery and pleasant climate, making them suitable for vacation and wellness.
An Bu made a bet with Jian Ningxuan. Buying a sea-view house within twenty days was not just boasting. In her current capacity as a translator, she had once saved a R country person who came to Z country for travel during her work. He happened to be a real estate developer and, to thank An Bu for saving his life, promised a threefold discount if she bought a house in Bin Xia coast.
An Bu didn’t take it seriously at the time, just noting down the experience in her diary. Later, when she happened to come across it and contacted the person, it led to this trip to R country. One hundred sixty thousand, discounted by threefold, was affordable with the savings under the name of “An Bu,” and the other party would also help her handle various procedures.
“An, welcome to R country.” A middle-aged man of about fifty opened his arms, warmly embracing An Bu.
“Uncle Fonan, you look in good spirits. When are you going to Z country again? I’ll be your tour guide for free.” An Bu chatted with him as they walked.
“Hahaha, too busy lately. I’m afraid I won’t have time to go abroad.” Fonan spoke while leading the way. “But when you buy a house here, I’ll be your tour guide.”
“I came for your threefold discount. The price is too high, and I won’t be able to afford it.”
“Rest assured, my friend,” Fonan said cheerfully. “Feel free to choose from these several seaside villas. As long as you like them, they’re yours, no need for payment.”
“No need for such generosity; the threefold discount is already a significant advantage,” An Bu carefully examined the row of villas not far away. The villas were spaced around fifty to sixty meters apart, surrounded by lush vegetation, and approximately 200 meters from the sea, offering a prime beachfront location.
The wooden-structured villas, though not luxurious in appearance, exuded a refreshing simplicity with a touch of local charm. The layout was straightforward and spacious, providing a natural and comfortable atmosphere. The interiors were bright, and the second floor featured an observation deck with panoramic views of the azure sea through French windows. It was an ideal place to enjoy the sea breeze, listen to the waves, and witness both sunrise and sunset.
After thoroughly exploring, An Bu decided to purchase one without hesitation.
Fonan didn’t waste any time either, leading her to the sales center to submit personal information, sign the contract, make payments, and complete the check-in process. In less than two hours, everything was settled. Fonan took care of the remaining transfer procedures. Fortunately, with the help of this real estate tycoon, purchasing a house abroad turned out to be much simpler for An Bu.
During dinner, Fonan also introduced An Bu to several excellent design companies. The next day, she contacted them to finalize the plans, preparing for the construction.
It had been five days since she parted ways with Jian Ningxuan. An Bu, after some thought, opened her computer, logged into her email, and immediately received a bombardment of notifications. She opened them one by one, a daily email featuring various cat pictures: melancholic gazes, solitary bowl guardians, abandoned hope, and even a GIF of an orange cat wildly jumping around a room before getting stuck on a bookshelf due to its weight.
An Bu: “…” This is getting a bit too much.
Enduring it for a while, she couldn’t resist and sent him an email, reporting her safety, accompanied by scenic and food pictures.
After sending the email, An Bu exercised while waiting for a reply. However, after two hours without any response, she figured he must be busy. Dismissing it, she turned off the computer, grabbed her bag, and went shopping.
An Bu was currently staying in a hotel about thirty kilometers away from the villa. She intended to familiarize herself with the nearby routes so that she could take her cat master for a stroll when the time came.
She shopped until late in the evening, returning to the hotel with a bag of fruits. Just as she stepped out of the elevator, she spotted a familiar figure standing outside her room, unmistakably her cat master, who should have been patiently waiting at home.
Luggage at his feet, looking a bit dusty, Jian Ningxuan stood quietly by the door. Seeing An Bu, he immediately took large strides and embraced her.
“I missed you, Bubu,” Jian Ningxuan’s deep voice sounded in An Bu’s ear, tinged with a hint of grievance.
An Bu let him hang onto her, dragging him back to the room.
“I shouldn’t have sent you the email.” No doubt, Jian Ningxuan had used hacking techniques to find her location through the email she sent.
Jian Ningxuan calmly set the luggage aside, pretending not to hear the remark.
An Bu couldn’t do anything about it and asked, “Have you eaten?”
“No,” Jian Ningxuan took out his phone, opened the daily weight chart, and handed it to her, “In the five days you were away, I lost 5 pounds.”
“…”
“If I wait another fifteen days for you, the muscles I’ve worked so hard to develop will start to atrophy.” His tone was serious, as if he meant it.
“…Alright, go take a shower first, I’ll order a meal for you,” An Bu said.
“Okay.” Jian Ningxuan opened the suitcase, took out his own towel and bathrobe, and walked briskly toward the bathroom. When he reached the door, he suddenly turned back to An Bu, “Bubu, want to shower together?”
An Bu: You’ve learned some bad habits, Cat Master.
“Sure.” But she still shamelessly agreed.
Five days without intaking cat, she kinda missed it…
That night, Jian Ningxuan didn’t even eat dinner, too preoccupied with harmonizing with the cat poop scooper.
Early the next morning, Jian Ningxuan woke up amidst the aroma of meat, opening his eyes to see An Bu standing at the table arranging knives and forks, the morning light streaming in through the window, casting a soft glow on her. Beneath the loose clothing, her curves were subtly revealed.
“Good morning, Mr. Jian.” An Bu looked up, flashing him a pleasant smile.
Jian Ningxuan rolled out of bed and walked over to her, naked, rubbing his face against An Bu’s, then picked up his robe and went to the bathroom to freshen up.
Halfway through washing up, Jian Ningxuan suddenly opened the bathroom door, glanced at An Bu, and then quickly retreated.
An Bu: “…” What’s going on?
Shortly after, Jian Ningxuan, body surrounded by mist, emerged from the bathroom, enveloping An Bu’s waist, planting a French kiss on her. After the kiss, he pulled her to sit down and began to enjoy his breakfast in earnest.
A magnificent color flashed over him, illuminating An Bu’s eyes. Until the colors dimmed, she reluctantly lowered her eyelids, a faint smile on her lips as she picked up a small knife and expertly carved an apple into a flower.
At that moment, Jian Ningxuan noticed a small fish tank on the table, with something strange swimming in the bathtub.
“What is this?” he curiously asked.
“A fish.”
“What breed?”
“I don’t know. Just thought it looked cute.” Seeing him stare intently at the fish tank, An Bu added, “For visual enjoyment only, not for consumption.”
Jian Ningxuan: “…”
After finishing breakfast, An Bu said, “Since you’re here, let me show you the cat house I’ve prepared for you.”
“You’ve already bought one?” Jian Ningxuan looked surprised.
“Of course,” An Bu lifted her chin. “Get ready to become my personal ornament, rolling and being cute for me every day.”
Jian Ningxuan followed her out of the room, discussing seriously, “What do you think, given my physique, is the most adorable way for me to roll?”
An Bu glanced at him and thought, “It seems like no matter how you roll, it won’t be adorable.”
Jian Ningxuan affirmed, “I can be adorable.”
An Bu replied, “…Alright, I’ll wait for that.”
The two of them rented a car and sped to the Binxia Coast.
“Here we are, how about this?” An Bu pointed to the villa she had purchased for Jian Ningxuan.
Jian Ningxuan nonchalantly responded with a simple “Mmm” and walked over.
Inside the villa, a group of workers was busy with renovations. Jian Ningxuan, like inspecting his territory, looked around, his expression aloof but his body emitting a continuous glow. In his mind, messages like “This is the cat house the chief caretaker bought for him. This is the cat house she bought with her savings…” were flashing.
After a round of inspection, Jian Ningxuan found An Bu on the observation deck. Placing his hands on the wooden railing on both sides of her, he leaned down and lightly touched her lips before resting his head on her shoulder and giving a gentle nuzzle.
Jian Ningxuan didn’t ask how much money she spent. She was willing to spend anything for him, and he was willing to give her everything.
After a moment, Jian Ningxuan suddenly lifted his head, looking at An Bu and asked, “Was I cute just now?”
An Bu responded, “…Where was the cuteness?”
Jian Ningxuan said seriously, “Didn’t you notice me being cute with you?”
An Bu replied, “I totally didn’t notice!”
Jian Ningxuan, with a serious expression, said, “…It seems like I need more practice.”
An Bu thought, “You should start by practicing that unattainable expression!”
That night, they decided to stay at the villa. An Bu had prepared a tent, food, and daily necessities, spending the night on the beach in front of the villa.
They had barbecue, watched the sunset, and shamelessly went for a night swim in the sea, playing around between the sea and the sky, ending up at the tent until sunrise…
