Chapter 563: Chapter 563: Su Yumei with Heavy Heart

Logically, Su Yumei really hoped that Chen Wei would find a good woman as soon as possible and settle down.

She thought she should be more eager than anyone for this matter to happen sooner rather than later.

Not to mention the object of interest was the princess of Gentleman Country.

As for Elisa Hill, Su Yumei had a certain understanding of her, which could be summarized in two words: excellent.

Even she believed that Elisa Hill was definitely worthy of her little junior brother.

But why couldn’t she feel happy at all?

Why?

What exactly was the reason?

This feeling of suffocation stuck in Su Yumei’s chest, neither spittable nor swallowable, was simply unbearable.

This question remained unresolved even as the car arrived at the hotel.

Or, perhaps, Su Yumei was unwilling to unravel it, deliberately avoiding the correct answer.

Before getting out of the car, she violently shook her head, forcing herself to clear away the excess thoughts in her mind and focus on enjoying the lunch.

She continuously hypnotized herself inside with the repetition.

As always, Chen Wei could tell Su Yumei was definitely thinking about something, certainly not as simple as the "I’m fine" she had claimed.

But he didn’t have the Mind Reading Technique and couldn’t fully decode what was troubling Su Yumei inside.

To avoid further unwelcome interruptions, this time, Chen Wei did not opt for a restaurant reservation but booked a private room instead.

From this height, one could overlook half of River City, as well as the nearby blue sky, the sea shimmering with reflected light, occasionally traversed by large ships.

Because it was a curved floor-to-ceiling window, more of this beautiful vista could be taken into the eyes.

Seeing this scene, Su Yumei always felt that her heart became calmer as well.

After ordering the dishes, while waiting for the meal to be served, Su Yumei took the initiative to inquire about Chen Wei’s dealings with Elizabeth Hill.

"Wei, how did you meet her?"

Without hiding anything, Chen Wei told Su Yumei all about going to Gentleman Country as a mercenary for hire and the chain of events that followed.

From the initial coldness like an iceberg to the ultimate fervor like a flame, even resorting to the devious tactic of damaging her own reputation in order to have Chen Wei.

After listening, not only did Su Yumei not doubt his story, but she became even more convinced of her little junior brother’s excellence.

It wasn’t that she couldn’t understand the second princess’s thoughts.

"Do you dislike me interacting with her, senior sister?" Chen Wei asked.

"Not at all," Su Yumei still shook her head in denial.

Upon hearing this, Chen Wei simply stood up and walked over to where Su Yumei was sitting.

Su Yumei’s heart suddenly hung in suspense, her heartbeat quickening involuntarily.

She then saw Chen Wei sit down in the chair next to her.

He reached out.

Su Yumei didn’t dodge, subconsciously closing her eyes.

Then she felt Chen Wei’s hand rest on her forehead.

"Hiss, strange, you don’t have a fever," he said.

Hearing this, Su Yumei opened her eyes and reproachfully removed Chen Wei’s hand from her forehead, "Why would you think I’m sick? I’m fine, I’m not ill."

"But, senior sister, you really do look pale. What on earth are you thinking? Can’t you even tell me?" Chen Wei didn’t shy away, his dark eyes fixed intently on Su Yumei.

Oddly enough, Su Yumei considered herself to have been battle-hardened in the business world for years, having seen all types of people and met all kinds of gazes.

Yet it was at this moment, under Chen Wei’s gaze, that she felt a bit guilty.

Subconsciously, she wanted to turn her head away, to break the line of sight.

However, her swan-like neck had not managed to turn much.

Snap, snap.

Her cheeks were suddenly cradled by Chen Wei’s outstretched hands.

Su Yumei was a bit startled, her lips pursed slightly as she asked in confusion, "Wei, what are you doing?"

"Senior sister, are you really hiding something from me? Speak up, I can solve it for you," Chen Wei said resolutely.

Just one word from Su Yumei, and Chen Wei would climb mountains and cross seas of fire; he would do anything.

And Su Yumei did not doubt this for a second.

But how could she bring up things that she knew very well, yet pretended not to know?

To speak them out loud would be to have them pointed out instantly, wouldn’t it?

"This..." Su Yumei’s gaze wavered, unsettled.

In the end, she raised her hands and grasped Chen Wei’s wrists, removing them from her face, "Really, there’s nothing. Maybe I’m just too tired from work recently? Don’t overthink it. How could I possibly hide anything from you?"

Seeing that Chen Wei still wore a skeptical expression, Su Yumei simply said, "If you don’t believe me, I can swear. I swear, if I’m hiding anything from you, let the heavens strike..."

"Wu?!" Before she could finish, Chen Wei’s hand was already covering her mouth.

Despite his disbelief in mysticism, it was, after all, his senior sister at stake.

Even if there was a one in a million, one in ten million, one in a billion chance, Chen Wei had to nip it in the bud and not allow it to happen.

"There’s no need to swear; I believe you, senior sister," Chen Wei said with a faint smile.

Seeing Su Yumei nod slightly, Chen Wei then let go of the hand covering her mouth.

Afterward, the atmosphere in the private room was somewhat awkward.

Su Yumei and Chen Wei both glanced sidelong at the scenery outside the window, gazing at the sea, both remaining silent.

"..." Su Yumei.

"..." Chen Wei.

Thump thump thump.

It wasn’t until the door was knocked and a waiter pushed in a cart that the atmosphere lightened considerably.

Looking at the table full of dishes, Chen Wei was the first to pick up his chopsticks and crack a weary joke, "Senior sister, let’s eat. After we finish, we can go somewhere else."

"Mhm," Su Yumei carefully unwrapped her chopsticks and softly agreed.

The meal, too, passed in an awkward atmosphere.

Each ate their own, as if they were strangers.

After the meal, they paid the bill.

Then they got back in the car.

As for where Chen Wei was taking her next, Su Yumei didn’t ask.

Looking at this direction, it seemed to be the sea.

When they got to the seaside, Chen Wei parked the car in a paid parking lot and then headed to the dock.

Splurging several hundred thousand, he rented a yacht, deciding to take Su Yumei out to sea to enjoy the salty, moist sea breeze.

It so happened that Su Yumei hadn’t seen the sea in a long time, and she readily agreed.

The two of them boarded the deck.

Laid out with a wooden floor and white leather sofas, the wave patterns gave it a maritime flair.

The entire yacht was chartered by Chen Wei, with waitstaff and a chef ready to serve at any moment.

After all, just renting the yacht for six hours cost seven to eight hundred thousand, falling under the most luxurious yacht service.

All the crew remained on the lowest deck, not coming up to disturb Chen Wei and Su Yumei.

The two stood by the railing, the sea breeze continuously blowing her hair.

This forced Su Yumei to use one hand to sweep the errant locks to behind her ear, holding it there so they wouldn’t fall back into place.

She needed the other hand to hold the railing steady in case she fell; after all, the sea’s mood was as unpredictable as a child’s face.

Seeing this, Chen Wei took the initiative to sweep her other side, the hair that the sea wind had tousled, hooking it behind her ear.

"..." Su Yumei.
