Chapter 540: Chapter 540 Waiting for After the Wedding

Gu Huai’an couldn’t think of a good way to dodge in time, so he could only catch Little Nuan as she rushed over.

Dropping her into the sea was not an option.

Wanting to see his abs? Wait until they were married, then she could look and touch as much as she liked.

Going with the flow, he might even ask Little Nuan if she could give him a title.

In reality, it all happened in the blink of an eye, and both of their minds seemed to have spun through eight hundred thoughts.

However, the ready Gu Huai’an failed to catch Song Yunuan.

Because Song Yunuan suddenly hit the brakes.

They saw Song Yunuan bend down and lift the large rock she had been standing on with one hand.

That was a rock weighing thousands of pounds.

Gu Huai’an: ...

He was beginning to doubt whether his decision just now was wishful thinking.

He wanted to catch Little Nuan, but wouldn’t he have been tossed out before he could hold her?

Then Song Yunuan called out to Gu Huai’an, "Come over here quickly, there’s something under the rock."

Gu Huai’an had already walked over.

Under the lifted rock, he saw crabs of various sizes scurrying about.

But what Song Yunuan wanted him to see was not that, but a corner of a chest poking out.

Just then, Song Yunuan saw a scene unfold from beneath the large rock at her feet.

Murong Feng and Old Master Gu’s operation at that time had a batch of antiques intercepted by another group of people, who actually managed to smuggle them out through secret channels.

However, they didn’t make it to their intended destination, Nanyang.

Something went wrong halfway, and they had to bury the chests on this island.

As for the people from back then, their whereabouts are indeed unknown now, but what’s certain is that they all went to Sea Island Bay across the water.

It’s also unclear why they haven’t come to retrieve these items until now.

After all, antiques are highly valued for collecting over there as well.

However, Gu Huai’an didn’t expect that the large rock Little Nuan was casually standing on would actually conceal something.

What could be hidden under the rock?

Could it be gold, silver, and jewels stolen by pirates?

But how did Little Nuan know about it?

His gaze had been fixed on Little Nuan the whole time, certain she had not looked under the rock.

But what could he say?

Without even asking, he said to Song Yunuan, "I have no idea what’s in this chest. Wait here for me while I go get some tools from the ship; I’ll be right back." He then cautioned Song Yunuan, "There might be dangerous weapons or other things inside, so don’t touch anything."

Song Yunuan nodded in agreement and then asked with a teasing smile, "Brother Huai’an, there’s no third person here, so why don’t you ask me how I knew there was something under here? I don’t have X-ray vision nor any special instruments, and I didn’t have any prior information."

Gu Huai’an looked at Song Yunuan with tender eyes from close by.

The sea breeze fluttered her long hair.

Her beautiful face wore a smile that was not quite a smile.

After a moment’s pause, Gu Huai’an finally reached out and tucked the stray hair fluttering in the wind behind Song Yunuan’s ear, saying to her, "Asheng told me you’re a little fairy. Since you’re a fairy, what is there you don’t know?"

Without waiting for her to respond, Gu Huai’an cut her off, "Just stand here obediently while I get the tools."

Song Yunuan held her tongue.

It wasn’t long before Gu Huai’an came running back with the tools, inevitably getting his shoes and the hem of his pants wet from the seawater.

Quickly, the items were dug out, a total of five large chests, well-sealed.

But Song Yunuan still went ahead and opened the boxes one by one.

Gu Huai’an’s expression turned solemn, as he truly hadn’t expected them to be the lost batch of antiques.

Each box was wrapped in oil paper that had been brushed with tung oil in two layers, with a special isolation material on the very inside.

Only after opening them did they see the well-preserved items wrapped inside.

The two of them still checked each item one by one.

Then Song Yunuan asked Gu Huai’an, "What do you plan to write in the report?"

Gu Huai’an was wrapping a piece of porcelain when he heard this, he looked up, his eyes meeting those of Song Yunuan who was sitting cross-legged on the sandy ground, "This is simple, just say we wanted to catch crabs and discovered a corner of a box when we lifted a rock."

Song Yunuan’s eyes were clear as water, staring straight into Gu Huai’an’s eyes, "Are you really not at all curious about me?"

Gu Huai’an frowned slightly, what was this about?

Gu Huai’an put down what he was holding in his hands.

It was already afternoon by then; if not for finding these things, the two of them should have been on their way back by now.

At that moment, Gu Huai’an’s eyes were also clear and bright.

In front of Song Yunuan, he hid none of his thoughts.

"I am curious about you, always have been very curious, like, how is it that your strength is so great?

Before you were sent back to Erdao River Village, everything seemed very ordinary and mundane, especially your academics which were not good, but after you were sent back to Erdao River Village, you transformed completely."

Song Yunuan’s gaze was heavy, not the slightest bit evasive or guilty as she met Gu Huai’an’s eyes directly.

On this desolate and uninhabited small island, far from the mainland, Gu Huai’an was discussing this issue with Song Yunuan for the first time.

This question wasn’t just on Gu Huai’an’s mind; others wondered about it too.

Song Yunuan said, "The last part you said is right, it is like being reborn."

Gu Huai’an laughed, his voice as pleasant as a clear breeze and melodious, "Actually, this is quite normal. After a person experiences a severe shock, people would say that she seemed to have grown up overnight, or turned into a completely different person overnight. What’s there to be puzzled about? If you ask like that, I’ll answer you like this. It seems to me you’re just making conversation, right?"

But in his heart, Gu Huai’an was thinking, if he couldn’t hear Little Nuan’s heart’s voice, then indeed, these things wouldn’t make sense.

But now, both he and Grandpa have heard Little Nuan’s heart’s voice.

From his observations, Old Master Hu from the provincial city must have heard it too.

It seemed to be those who truly care about Little Nuan who could predict the dangers they were about to face when major events were imminent.

Thus, no one questioned the various aspects of Little Nuan.

They even refused to discuss this topic.

Even if there were differing opinions, with his own Grandpa around, he could suppress those voices.

Of course, the most important support came from Grandpa Xie.

Besides, what’s wrong with being different?

Is it a problem that I’m strong?

North Camp has more than a dozen members as strong as oxen, including a sharpshooter who can hit the bull’s eye even with eyes closed.

This time, we have team members who swim as well as flood dragons and also those with divine power, even others with special abilities unknown to the public.

All these people have skills of their own.

Actually, the young girl herself wasn’t worried.

She just wanted to see what he would say.

But what would Little Nuan’s reaction be if she knew he could hear her heart’s voice?

She’d probably pin him to the ground and beat him up, then kick him a few times, ordering him sternly to stay far away from her from now on, to never approach her in this lifetime.

Considering this possibility, Gu Huai’an broke out in a cold sweat on his back.

Fortunately, since he couldn’t speak or ask about it, the possibility of giving anything away didn’t exist.
