Chapter 187: Do You Want to Fall in Love?
Chapter 187: Chapter 187: Do You Want to Fall in Love?
Nan Qiao and Li Yehan exchanged a look, then disdainfully shifted their gaze away from each other.
Li Yehan was the first to speak, bluntly rejecting her, "She’s unworthy!"
Nan Qiao: "%¥"
"You say I’m unworthy? I think you’re even less worthy! Wearing that ugly mask can’t hide your hideous true face," Nan Qiao retorted forcefully.
Lan Yi burst out laughing, "I actually think you two look like a pair of bickering lovers."
Lan Yi, smiling, lowered his voice and said, "Jingjing, actually starting a marriage first and then love with Xiao Yan isn’t such a bad idea, just like the TV series I recently watched."
Nan Qiao: "Impossible!"
Nan Qiao angrily said, "Stop trying to set us up! My husband is nothing like him!"
Li Yehan: "My wife wouldn’t be like her either!"
The elders: "..."
They’ve started disdaining each other?
"Island Master, although Ms. Lan may look ordinary, her abilities are exceptional, and she’s a perfect match for you!"
"If the Island Owner’s Wife is Ms. Lan, we can accept. If it’s someone else, we won’t!"
"Our Island Master shouldn’t be blinded by love!"
Li Yehan, frowning and furious, listened to these noisy and shortsighted comments, very angry.
No one could point fingers at his Qiaoqiao!
Absolutely no one!
"Shut up!"
Li Yehan’s sharp eyes scanned the people present, and he angrily said, "Who I spend my life with is my decision! I like her as a person, not an opportunity to climb the ladder! Using a woman’s ability to progress, what kind of man does that make me?"
Nan Qiao actually gained a new respect for this man, defending the woman he loved.
Good impression +1
The elders were furious, the Island Master dared to scold them in front of others, their old faces lost.
Li Yehan then said, "I had Uncle Lan come over to discuss a business matter, you all go back first."
The elders grew angry again, once more criticizing Li Yehan.
"What do you mean by that? What kind of collaboration can’t we hear? After all, we are the elders of the island and shareholders! We have the right to know what the collaboration entails!"
"Exactly, we’re also part of the island, why can’t we know?"
Li Yehan: "How many shares do you have? You handle the collaboration then, I’ll give you my spot, you earn the money?"
When it came to making money, the group stopped clamoring, their faces flushing red.
When Li Yehan first took charge, they all were displeased.
Li Yehan, unbothered, let them take turns showcasing their abilities for a month.
The result? Not a single person did well.
Since then, they never doubted Li Yehan’s capabilities.
As long as there was money to be made, they didn’t need to take risks and life was good.
But now, they dared not voice their anger and could only walk away.
The five old men lamented endlessly.
"Damn it! I can’t believe I’m being controlled by a young pup!"
We must find a way to bring him down, put someone capable up there.
"Don’t talk about this here, if they hear you, you’re jeopardizing your own life."
"Sigh, to speak of it, this youngster hasn’t killed us old bastards, that’s pretty good too. If it were someone heartless, they’d find someone to solve the problem, and there’d be no issues."
The five men understood implicitly and walked away with their tails between their legs.
The five men each returned home, restless and uneasy, picking up their phones to send messages to Li Yehan.
"Island Master, my family has a fine piece of jade, I’ll have someone send it over to you, how about that?"
"Island Master, my family has a painting by Master Shan Shui, I heard you like art, I’ll bring it to you personally."
"Island Master, I don’t think like others. You truly deserve to be our Demon Island’s leader! Your capabilities are outstanding, your mind is sharp, and your vision is keen. Having you as our Island Master is a blessing from our ancestors!"
"Island Master, we weren’t trying to push you into marriage today, we just see you all alone and worry about you. Don’t you want to experience the warmth of a wife and children?"
"Island Master, today I was rash, I’ll send over some treasured wine from my home to show my goodwill."
No one knew about these messages the five men sent, it was unexpected.
Hmm, they’re still good friends.
...
Li Yehan, holding his phone and seeing so many messages, simply ignored them.
He looked up and continued speaking to Uncle Lan, "Uncle Lan, since you can also grow Demon Flowers on your island, let’s proceed with our earlier plan, shall we?"
"Sure, Xiao Yan, you are brave and cautious, I really didn’t expect our island could also cultivate such a rare medicinal herb," Lan Yi was very excited.
This medicinal herb, some had seeds, some did not.
The ones Li Yehan provided were all seedless young plants, so he wasn’t worried about someone taking over this business.
Nan Qiao, overhearing their conversation, was somewhat surprised.
This Island Master daring to make such a big decision was impressive.
Lan Yi spoke, "This is my daughter Lan Shuijing, she will be in charge of the island’s affairs from now on. Since this is your first meeting, why not add each other on WeChat and get to know each other?"
Li Yehan: "No need."
Nan Qiao: "No need."
Both of them rejected the offer simultaneously.
Lan Yi, seeing them together, still thought they were well-matched.
He couldn’t help but say, "Are you two sure you don’t want to date and get to know each other better?"
Nan Qiao stood up to leave, "Let’s go back."
Li Yehan also stood up, "No need to see us out."
Lan Yi: "..."
This damn understanding!
Lan Yi added, "Jingjing also knows a bit of medical skills. The Demon Flowers sent to Shui Jing Island for cultivation, Xiao Yan, you can rest easy, we will definitely take good care of them."
Li Yehan: "She knows medical skills?"
Nan Qiao: "A slight understanding, just a little."
Li Yehan thought of Nan Qiao, not knowing what his Qiaoqiao was doing.
"Contact me if there are any issues," Li Yehan stood, indicating it was time for them to leave.
Lan Yi responded, "Okay, then we won’t disturb you any longer, we’ll head back."
Lan Yi and Nan Qiao left together.
Li Yehan watched them leave, Old Liu kneeled in front of Li Yehan.
"Island Master, it’s my fault, I fell for that woman’s drug and let her escape."
Li Yehan: "Order a full island search! Check again if there are any women who came for the auction on the island."
"Orders have already been given for a thorough check, I’ll have them check for any strangers on the island too."
Old Liu immediately went to investigate.
Li Yehan returned to his room, took off his disguise, and found a suitable place to video call Nan Qiao.
Then... he was hung up on.
Li Yehan had a bad feeling, he had only been away for one day, and his Qiaoqiao wasn’t answering his video calls.
Too busy with work?
Li Yehan became restless, wanting to return immediately!
Undeterred, Li Yehan made another video call, and again, he was hung up on.
Li Yehan: "??"
What exactly was Qiaoqiao busy with?
