Chapter 272: 272, Grandpa Jing Plays Romantic (2)_1
Her gaze traveled beyond Shen Hao and settled on the enormous object beyond him, her elegant face displaying slight surprise.
Under the sunlight, a luxury yacht was calmly anchored at sea.
She furrowed her brow. Why did this yacht look so familiar?
Suddenly, she remembered Black Jack had been going on about buying a new yacht recently. And this one happened to be the model he’d been eyeing.
“Boss, everything is ready.” Shen Hao approached at this moment, handing him the yacht keys. “Here are the keys.”
Quan Jingwu accepted the keys impassively, tossing the car keys to Shen Hao in return.
“Madam, see you.” Shen Hao nodded lightly at Jian Qing, smiling courteously.
Caught between the two men, Jian Qing was left dazed. Before she could utter a word, Quan Jingwu led her onto the yacht.
Once on the yacht, all the sights in front of her made her eyes shine, the sweetness in her heart almost overwhelming her.
On the black and white yacht, fragments of golden light fell on blooming roses. Astonishingly, these roses were not fiery red but dark purple.
Having lived in the manor for years, Jian Qing easily identified the dark purple roses. They were a species from the Rosaceae family.
They were named Louis XIV Rose.
The symbolism of this flower was particularly touching.
“Do you like it?” His magnetic voice was filled with a tenderness only for her.
Jian Qing looked up, shifting her gaze from the roses to him. She responded softly, “I do. But Jingwu, do you know what these roses symbolize?”
Her eyes were filled with joy, making no effort to hide her love for these roses.
Quan Jingwu’s frosty eyebrows raised slightly, a hint of intrigue flashing in his eyes. “What do they symbolize?”
“Don’t you know?” Jian Qing asked.
He shook his head, reaching out to pat her, “Does my darling know?”
Jian Qing fell silent, leaned forward to hook her arm around his neck, bringing her rosy lips to his ear.
“Jingwu, their language is – I’m in love with only you!”
Quan Jingwu could feel the warm breath of her words by his ear, causing the corners of his lips to curve with satisfaction.
“I see.” His voice hinted at a smile.
Jian Qing furrowed her brow, pushing him away. “Did you know it all along?”
Damn it, she shouldn’t have trusted him.
Now she felt like she was the one making a confession to him.
Looking at her grumpy face, Quan Jingwu picked a rose and offered it to her.
“Darling, don’t be upset. After all, your love for me is what makes me happiest.”
The tantalizing rose, its petals adorned with drops of water, soothed Jian Qing, and she took the rose from him.
She hummed softly, “Only for the roses, I’ll reluctantly forgive you this once.”
Quan Jingwu laughed and took her hand.
Glancing around, Jian Qing realized that aside from them, nobody else was aboard the yacht.
“Jingwu, what are you planning?” She turned around to see him seated at the helm, inserting the key.
“A voyage at sea!” He turned the key, and the yacht lurched slightly before it started smoothly.
Jian Qing was slightly stunned.
A voyage at sea?
“Why are we going to sea?” She asked instinctively.
“What do you think?” As he expertly navigated the yacht, he turned to look at her, a grin tugged at the corner of his lips.
“How would I know?” Jian Qing’s eyebrows twitched.
If she knew she wouldn’t have asked him.
“After the school celebration.” Quan Jingwu gently reminded her.
The four words hit her like a thunderbolt, the promise she made to him in the car that night rushed into her mind.
Right now, she had mixed feelings.
And a strong urge to swear.
Damn it, he had been dwelling on that all along. It’s no wonder he was so eager to whisk her away before the university celebration could even end.
And even plotted to take her out to sea.
Indeed, men always think with their lower halves!
Though she did say it would be after the school celebration, he didn’t need to be so impatient about it. She was exasperated.
Quan Jingwu chose to ignore the weariness evident in her eyes. In his view, every factor that could potentially interrupt his indulgence in the feast had to be squashed right at the cradle. He was determined to carry out his plan to the end.
Seeing his cheerful expression, and thinking of what was to happen soon, Jian Qing’s cheeks flushed.
For a maiden’s first journey to the bridal chamber, it was indeed nerve-wracking for her too.
To hide her embarrassment, she coughed lightly and quickly turned to step inside the yacht cabin, “I am going to find some food.”
From the hint of shyness beneath her composed demeanor, Quan Jingwu’s lips curved into a smile.
The moment Jian Qing stepped into the cabin, an appealing aroma greeted her.
Following her nose, her gaze was instantly drawn to the dishes spread on the table some distance away.
A full-course of Western cuisine, even the dessert; everything was available.
She didn’t need to wonder who had arranged this.
It seemed that the gentleman still had a strand of romantic genes in him.
She thought of Quan Jingwu outside and no longer wanted to eat alone.
As if she remembered something, she made her way towards the couch.
She opened a drawer and retrieved a piece of paper and a pen.
Sitting directly on the plush carpet, she tore a page off and started to write.
The sound of the pen scratching on the paper rang out in the room. She paused between each word, the smile deepening on her lips.
When she finished the last word, she put down her pen, folded the paper, and placed it back in the drawer.
She gathered a few snacks, and stepping out of the cabin realized the yacht had drifted far from the dock. Looking around, all she could see was the vast blue sea.
Couple of seagulls flew above, the sea and sky almost blending into one another, giving an enchantingly surreal quality to the scene.
Returning to the helm, she took the seat next to him.
Watching the man skillfully handling the yacht, she couldn’t help but be mesmerized by him.
“What’s wrong? Too captivated by my charm?” Sensing her gaze, he teased with his warm and wholesome voice.
Jian Qing’s eyes sparkled as she softened her voice to play along, “Yes, you’re so handsome it’s almost swept me off my feet.”
With that, her audacious finger traced his sexy Adam’s apple teasingly.
In an instant, Quan Jingwu’s body tightened, his throat bobbed.
“Darling!”
His voice deepened a notch, his eyes darkened abruptly.
The enticing little imp, he would make sure to get her back, with interest, tonight.
