Chapter 521: Chapter 524: Don’t Worry, I’m a Professional _1

Upon seeing Xiao Ke’s expression, Yang Gang is taken aback: "Could this woman be into me? Otherwise, why is she blushing?"

At this point, Xiao Ke is too embarrassed to speak: "Because... I don’t know any other guys."

Yang Gang:..

"Hey, what’s with that look? I’ve always been ’imprisoned’ within the Xiao family, taught by professional tutors. I never went to school. Where would I make friends?"

"And what about your other guy? How did you meet him?" Yang Gang asked casually.

"He is... he is... why do I have to tell you?"

Yang Gang:..

"Well, goodbye then." Yang Gang declared, about to leave.

Xiao Ke quickly grabs Yang Gang, pleading: "I beg you, okay? How about this, I’ll hire you with money? Is that okay?"

"Hmm...I’m not exactly short of money." Yang Gang changes his approach: "But if you can help Gu Xiaorou meet her father, I’ll agree to help you."

"Gu Xiaorou’s father?"

"Right, that would be Old Wright who’s recuperating on your Crow Feather Island," Yang Gang stated matter-of-factly.

"Oh, you mean Uncle Wright. Huh? Gu Xiaorou’s father is Uncle Wright?!" Xiao Ke finally caught on.

Yang Gang nodded.

"So you’re saying Uncle Wright is imprisoned by our family, the Xiao family?" Xiao Ke curiously asked.

Yang Gang shook his head and replied quietly: "He indeed is imprisoned, but not by your family. The Wright family imprisoned him here under the pretense of providing him medical care. No matter what deal the Wrights made with you, the Xiao family, I just want to bring Gu Xiaorou and her father together. It may be their last chance."

"Ok, I see. I agree." Xiao Ke paused, her eyes revealing complex emotions as she looks at Yang Gang: "Seems like Gu Xiaorou is really important to you."

"Yes, very important," Yang Gang frankly admits.

A shadow of ambiguity flickered across Xiao Ke’s eyes before she musters up her emotions and says: "This matter is on me now. But you have to promise me, you will play the role of the boyfriend well."

Yang Gang grins: "Don’t worry, I’m a professional."

A pause and then a sudden realization followed: "Oh, and one more thing, as you know, I have a fiancée, Su Xiaoxi. You’ll need to handle her too."

"Alright."

Having made their arrangements, the pair rejoin the rest of the group.

"Hey, you there, what’s this about forcibly kissing Xiao Ke? That’s crossing the line. You have a fiancée, can you justify doing something like this to Sister Xiaoxi?" Gu Xiaorou angrily complained, her indignation dwindling at the end of her flare.

Feeling a bit guilty, is she?

"Ah, about that... sorry, it was my mistake," Xiao Ke said, laughing awkwardly.

Everyone secretly sighed in relief.

Xiao Ke continued: "Yang Gang said that first kisses can be reset. The ones without full consent don’t count as first kisses."

The group:..

Yang Gang is flustered and frustrated, suppressing an impulse to throw Xiao Ke into the sea.

This woman is seriously messed up! She is such a noob! Truly, ignorance is scary!

Xiao Ke, however, seems oblivious to the awkward atmosphere.

And, well, you can’t fully blame her.

Unlike Young Master Yang, who is naturally socially clueless, Xiao Ke hasn’t been socializing much due to her solitary upbringing. Despite her looks and family background making her popular, she has few true friends. Even among girls, Chen Dongnuan is her only close friend. So, it’s understandable if Xiao Ke struggles to read the mood.

Xiao Ke goes over to Su Xiaoxi and says, laughing, "Sister Xiaoxi, we meet again."

Su Xiaoxi smiles, "Yes, indeed. I only didn’t expect that on our second meeting you would try to steal my fiancé."

Xiao Ke blushes heavily: "No, it’s not that. I don’t like Yang Gang. It’s just.."

Su Xiaoxi laughs: "I was just kidding. If you need him, feel free to enlist Yang Gang’s services."

"Sister Xiaoxi, aren’t you joking? This... isn’t this like giving away your husband?" Gu Xiaorou weakly asked.

Su Xiaoxi bursts out laughing, "Not just Xiao Ke, any of you can borrow Yang Gang, as long as you pay. Hm, Xiaorou, I can even give you a discount for being a close friend. 5 bucks a day."

Gu Xiaorou’s eyes brighten: "Really? That’s so cheap!"

Then realizing something, she scratches her head and awkwardly says: "I was...just joking."

Yang Fei’s eyes dart between Gu Xiaorou and Su Xiaoxi, lost in her thoughts.

About two hours later, standing on the deck of the ship, they can clearly see an island shaped like a crow feather in the distance.

Crow Feather Island isn’t the largest among the many islands in the South Pacific Ocean, but it’s not the smallest either. The island is about 15 kilometers long from north to south and about 5 kilometers wide from east to west. A pristine forest covers the northernmost edge of the island.

The island has freshwater resources, and about fifty thousand inhabitants live there permanently. Of these, around forty-five thousand are ordinary residents. The remaining five thousand are directly under the control of the Xiao family.

The island’s security team, personal protective team guarding the Xiao family’s villas, and marine infantry responsible for sea patrol. These armed members number around three thousand.

Those charged with managing, developing, and constructing Crow Feather Island number around one thousand.

The function of the remaining thousand is unclear.

The vast majority of the personnel directly affiliated with the Xiao family are ordinary humans. After all, the number of genetic modifiers is tiny compared to the entire human population. High-order Genetic Modifiers who have activated the Seventh Brain Domain and possess superpower are even rarer.

The number of High-Order Genetic Modifiers stationed on Crow Feather Island is about fifty. Though few in quantity, their combat power is substantial. Plus, additional forces from the branches of the Xiao family residing in the surrounding sea area can provide support at any time.

Therefore, despite being an isolated island, Crow Feather Island is quite secure.

After all, in the two hundred years it’s been managed by the Xiao family, Crow Feather Island has never been invaded by other forces.

After over two hundred years of development and operation, the Island operates much like a country, only smaller in population and without a formal nation status.

"Wow, what a beautiful port!" Yang Fei exclaimed excitedly: "Sister Miao, you’ll be the lady of this island in the future. Be sure to invite me over often."

"Definitely, absolutely." Zhang Miao chuckled.

A thought striking her, she turned to look at Su Xiaoxi.

"Xiaoxi, is she okay? Was it unreasonable of me to force her to come?"

Su Xiaoxi seemed unaware of Zhang Miao’s glance. Standing on the deck, looking at the rapidly approaching Crow Feather Island, her eyes misted over with tears.

"Mom, Dad, I’m back. But I guess, you probably won’t recognize me anymore, will you? In the fifteen years of my disappearance, you’ve tried your best to erase my existence. You must be struggling to forget your horrible, cursed power-afflicted daughter, right? Because it’s too scary, isn’t it?"
