Chapter 234 – He had to be on guard at all times against this rival (2)
Nothing happened in the next two days. The company’s arrangements for this trip were very good-natured and didn’t enforce participation in the group activities. Ruan Xia had practically stayed in the mansion all day, refusing to go out. Ultraviolet rays were so strong and the sun was so bright. No way was she going out. Even if she completely covered herself up to protect her body from the sun, she would still get tanned. Although tanned skin had become fashionable nowadays, Ruan Xia liked the original owner’s snow white skin. Even when she was indoors, she still cautiously and conscientiously wore sunscreen and long sleeves.
Song Tingshen saw her applying sunscreen on her legs and arms. He was very puzzled. “You’re not going out. Why are you putting on sunscreen?”
In the eyes of straight men, the sun’s rays wouldn’t reach indoors and there was no need to apply so much stuff to your skin.
Ruan Xia deeply sighed. “In order to maintain this top-level beauty, I have to spend ten times more effort and thought than ordinary people.”
Applying sunscreen was a trivial matter. She had even practically given up sweets for the sake of beauty.
Song Tingshen: “…”
Did people nowadays praise themselves like that?
Little Wang wasn’t scared of getting tanned. He frequently wanted to go outside. Whenever Ruan Xia put sunscreen on him, he would think she had too much free time.
Since Ruan Xia wasn’t willing to go out, Song Tingshen wasn’t interested in hanging out with her coworkers. He stayed in the mansion with her and did work. This was hard on Little Wang. He constantly wanted to go outside to run around on the beach. If he wasn’t naturally well-behaved and Ruan Xia and Song Tingshen weren’t keeping a close eye on him, he would have run to the beach by himself in a heartbeat.
Qin Yu was living in the neighboring mansion and would come over from time to time. When the family of three was nestled on the sofa and watching a variety show to pass the time, he came over and curiously asked, “How come you guys didn’t go diving?”
Little Wang liked Qin Yu a lot and quickly answered, “My mom doesn’t want to go. She said she won’t look pretty if she gets tanned!”
Embarrassed, Ruan Xia shouted, “Little Wang!”
Qin Yu sat down across from them and chuckled. “It’s true that the ultraviolet rays on this island are strong.”
It wasn’t just Ruan Xia, even Song Tingshen felt confused after interacting with Qin Yu in the past two days. Could it be that his guess was wrong? Qin Yu hadn’t done anything at all. He even rarely interacted with Ruan Xia. There was no difference between the way he treated her and the way any boss treated his employees. He didn’t show the slightest trace that he thinks differently of Ruan Xia.
Little Wang acted like they were old friends and ran over to sit on the same sofa as Qin Yu. “Uncle, why didn’t you go out to play?”
Qin Yu ruffled Little Wang’s hair. “Uncle doesn’t like diving and it’s true that the sun is too strong.”
He was holding a box and Little Wang was at an age where he was curious about everything. He pointed at the beautiful and exquisite box and asked, “What’s this?”
Qin Yu handed the box over to Little Wang. “Open it. See if you recognize it.”
Song Tingshen and Ruan Xia said in union, “Little Wang, don’t take Uncle’s stuff casually.”
Qin Yu smiled and said, “It’s okay. If he’s interested, just let him look.”
Although Little Wang wanted to open the box to see, he listened to his parents instructions and handed the box back to Qin Yu. Pursing his lips, he said, “I won’t look.”
“Why?” Qin Yu smiled as he opened the box.
Ruan Xia instinctively looked at the box and was almost blinded by what she saw.
