Chapter 38: A Passerby in a CEO Romance Novel (38)
Sitting on the sofa with her mother in her arms, Le Yan snorted at Rong Jing and began to complain to her mother, "Mom, he took me to a secluded island and won't let me contact you. Can you believe how outrageous, how awful, how perverted he is!"
"A secluded island?"
Le's mother tilted her head and thought for a moment, then opened her phone's photo album and showed it to Le Yan. "This one?"
What appeared in front of Le Yan was a photograph. The photograph showed Morris Island, where Le Yan had stayed before, and even the villa was in the photograph.
Le Yan looked surprised and quickly asked her mother, "Mom, how did you know about this island?"
Shouldn't this be a private, unknown island? How did her mother get photos of this island?
Judging from the watermark at the bottom, it seems to have been saved directly from Weibo?
Le Yan looked puzzled, and occasionally cast a suspicious glance at Rong Jing, who was calmly drinking tea.
Mom smiled and explained, "I asked Xiao Rong to take you there, of course I know."
Morris Island is indeed a private island, just as Leyan thought, but it is not unknown to the public.
On the contrary, this is a popular island, and before it was bought by anyone, many people had visited it. That's why Le Ma found it on Weibo.
She smiled and said, "Xiao Rong said before that you broke up with your company president and were heartbroken and depressed. I happened to see this island, so I thought I'd ask Xiao Rong to take you there to relax and relieve your depression."
Listening to her mother's words, Le Yan had already summarized the whole situation. She bit her lip and couldn't help but glare at Rong Jing.
That bastard, he just talks nonsense and tries to fool his mother.
What nonsense about her being heartbroken! She was clearly kidnapped and passed through several hands before ending up in his hands!
Le Yan was so angry she wanted to bite Rong Jing to death, but Rong Jing just smiled and winked at her, his lips moving slightly. Le Yan carefully observed and finally understood.
What Rong Jing said was, "Don't be angry?"
It was impossible not to be angry. Le Yan rolled her eyes at him, not wanting to look at him at all.
Meanwhile, Le's mother had already opened several videos for Le Yan. She called out, "Le Le, come and see, these were specially filmed by Xiao Rong for me. They are all of you having fun on the island."
Upon hearing this, Le Yan's eyes widened in surprise; it was...
Dozens of videos, all showing her jumping around on the island with Rong Jing.
I must say, those few days on the island were quite nice.
Although the phone didn't have a SIM card, it had internet access. In addition, Rong Jing took her to explore the entire island and didn't confine her to the villa.
In terms of diet and daily life, it can be said that Rong Jing took such good care of her that she was almost useless.
He wished he could just feed her and put her to sleep.
Thinking of this, the anger in Le Yan's heart subsided by more than half.
She couldn't help but look up at Rong Jing, only to meet his gaze, which had been fixed on her.
Le Yan was taken aback, then lowered her head again, frowning as she pondered.
Regardless of other factors, Rong Jing is indeed a very good person.
After carefully observing her mother, who was being well taken care of, Le Yan felt even more convinced of this conclusion.
She felt a complex mix of emotions, which eventually settled on a few people she had forgotten.
Suddenly remembering that there were still a few people on the island, Le Yan quickly stood up. "Mom, I suddenly remembered that I have something to ask Rong Jing."
Without waiting for her mother to say anything, she pulled Rong Jing directly to the balcony.
"I'm asking you, where are Gu Yunting and the other two?"
Le Yan looked at Rong Jing with a serious expression. Not content with just asking one question, she added, "You didn't do anything illegal to them, did you?"
She didn't want to doubt Rong Jing like that, but she had no choice; she had already accepted that she lived in a fictional world, otherwise she couldn't explain these extraordinary things.
In the world of novels, there is no shortage of lawbreakers, and she doesn't want Rong Jing to do anything illegal or criminal.
Rong Jing was taken aback by her question, and seeing her looking as if she was afraid of going to jail, he couldn't help but chuckle. "No, I won't do that."
He took out his phone and showed the surveillance footage connected to the island villa to Le Yan. "Look, they left by helicopter two hours ago, all safe and sound."
That's correct when leaving the island.
Rong Jing smiled gently, raised an eyebrow at Le Yan, and asked her, drawing out the last syllable, "What—don't you believe me?"
Le Yan shook her head repeatedly, "No, I believe you."
Believe only half of it.
She muttered to herself, but didn't show it on her face. Instead, she reached out to Rong Jing: "Where's my phone? Shouldn't you give it back to me?"
Looking at his fair and delicate palm, Rong Jing hesitated for a moment before placing his phone on it.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Le Yan asked, puzzled.
Rong Jing could only shrug and say, "Your phone isn't with me; Gu Yunting took it."
Back at the amusement park, Gu Yunting took everything except the hair clip, including Le Yan's phone.
Rong Jing didn't stop him, mainly because he disliked that Gu Yunting had installed a tracking device in the phone.
"Yan Yan, how about I buy you a new phone, the same model as mine?"
Couple's style, how wonderful!
Rong Jing looked at Le Yan with bright, expectant eyes.
Le Yan had just snapped out of her daze from the message on her phone that Gu Yunting had sent when she met those eyes that held boundless starlight, and she froze instantly.
By the time she realized what was happening, she had already agreed to Rong Jing's request, "Okay, you can buy it."
Upon hearing this, Rong Jing beamed with joy. "Wait a moment, I'll send someone to deliver it right away."
He got so excited that he started making a phone call right away, and even when Le Yan reached out to stop him, he was still too fast to keep up.
After grasping at the air for a moment, Le Yan slowly withdrew her hand, shook her head and sighed. Oh well, she might as well change the phone. Anyway, she had been using her old phone for four or five years. Even if she got it back, she would still need to get a new phone in a while.
The two of them stayed on the balcony, while Le's mother secretly kept an eye on them.
She was eager to know what the two children were talking about, but she couldn't very well eavesdrop, so she could only watch longingly.
As someone who's been through it all, she could see it all too clearly. Xiao Rong's heart and eyes were completely devoted to her son, Lele. Even though it was Lele, she still looked like a little kid, not quite enlightened yet.
Even after having a relationship, I haven't improved at all.
In her opinion, these two are probably still going to have a lot of trouble.
