The Male Main's Uncle Is Openly Obsessed With Me

"Oh no!" Su Yayan's facial expression dropped. "How is it so late now?"

Huo Chenhuan gently reminded her. "It was already around eight in the evening when you woke up just now."

Dinner, followed by a stroll, and it was already midnight!

Su Yayan was on the brink of tears. "No, I've gotta go home. If my family sees that I'm not back at this hour, they'd go crazy!"

"It's not safe to venture out into the sea at this hour."

Su Yayan stopped dead in her tracks. It was true, it was pitch black and the thought of sailing through the seas seemed really dangerous right now.

"I'll call my parents and let them know then. Where's my phone?" Su Yayan rummaged through her clothes and finally found her phone in the top pocket of her coat.

She turned it on and… No. Signal.

"Why is there no signal here?"

Without skipping a beat, Huo Chenhuan said, "It's pretty secluded here, and we haven't had the chance to install a signal receiver here."

With that sentence, it had diminished the chance of recognition and credit to a certain Assistant Zuo who had installed a signal cloaking device on the entire island earlier that morning.

"What now?"

"It's okay." Huo Chenhuan held Su Yayan's hands and said, "Before we arrived, I've asked Shaoyang to report your whereabouts to your family. Your parents should know by now that you're here and that you're staying over. Don't worry."

Su Yayan was not comforted at all. Instead, she looked at Huo Chenhuan woefully and said, "No, if you send Shaoyang to inform them, they would be more worried."

Huo Chenhuan stifled a laugh. "Worried about what? That I'd eat you up?"

Su Yayan pouted. "That's not impossible. Since you've already proposed, it's also plausible that you'd want some reward in return, right?"

"That's because they don't know about my condition."

Su Yayan paused and just as she was about to comfort him, she heard him say, "That being said, I can also ask for another form of compensation too. I've overlooked it, thanks for the reminder!"

Su Yayan, "..." Is this counted as her digging her own grave?

Huo Chenhuan saw Su Yayan's slightly torpid expression and knew that he could not tease her too much, so he reassured her. "It's just for one night, it's fine. It's getting late too, so let's go look at the rooms upstairs. We'll send you back first thing in the morning tomorrow."

Su Yayan sighed. "It can only be this way, then."

The pair and their dog proceeded to move upstairs. At first, Su Yayan was still a little worried that Huo Chenhuan would request for them to sleep in the same room, but after Huo Chenhuan brought her to the master bedroom, he led Dun Dun to the guest room right after that.

Su Yayan breathed a sigh of relief, but she felt an odd pang of disappointment in her heart.

After a whole day of shenanigans, Su Yayan thought she would fall asleep immediately after her head hit the pillow.

Perhaps it was the nap she had taken earlier or the many things that happened out of her expectation that night, she tossed and turned for more than an hour without a hint of drowsiness.

The weather on the island was as unpredictable as ever. They were still strolling on the beach stargazing before this, but almost immediately at the next half of the night, strong winds roared, thunder and lightning struck and it started pouring profusely.

Su Yayan found it harder to fall asleep now that she was looking at the curtains that were dancing vigorously in the wind.

After moments of hesitation, she got up and closed the window.

The closed window could not block out the howling wind and the roar of the thunder, lightning, and rain outside.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Su Yayan froze. Huo Chenhuan told her that there were only two of them at the villa that night, so would Huo Chenhuan come knocking at her door, or…

After taking a deep breath, Su Yayan sauntered to the door.

Once she opened the door, a swift little shadow darted into her arms.
