Daddy CEO's Beloved Wife

The old man was even more satisfied when he heard the little girl's voice.

So sweet! So adorable!

In his head, he was already finished picking out the seedlings he wanted from the bunch.

The other men also entered the crate. However, unlike the old man, they didn't approach them too closely and only observed them after taking a few steps.

After a while, these men finally let the kids out of the crate.

Once they were out of that dark place that had caged them for days, each of them sighed in relief, and even some of them teared up while thanking the men who had saved them.

"Thank you!"

"You helped us!"

"We will never forget this day!"

The children expressed their gratitude with words. But who would tell them that these words would become a curse for them someday in the future?

"Come, come. Let's get all of you some food to eat."

The men kindly guided them deeper inside the yacht. Surprisingly, it was a luxurious one with separate rooms and lounges. What's even more impressive was that there were a few crews that were on standby to serve the food on a long dining table.

Seeing all the food, fresh and still steaming, their stomachs immediately grumbled in protest.

Many of the kids couldn't resist the temptation of it, diving straight to grab a handle of bread and meat. Some were too thirsty to eat, so they started with several glasses of water.

In the grand-looking yacht, this inharmonious scene seemed too difficult to look at.

Nonetheless, the yacht's crew and the men who had saved them didn't say a word. Especially the old man, who now sat at the head of the table, glancing at Ran Xueyi with a smile.

"Eat. Don't feel embarrassed to eat in front of me," said the old man.

Ran Xueyi looked at him and nodded.

Under the old man's gaze, she tore off a roasted chicken leg before gingerly biting off some of its meat. Even though she was starving, she was afraid of upsetting her stomach for eating too much. Anyway, they were saved, and there were tons of opportunities to eat now that they were outside of the crate.

But after being trapped inside the crate for a couple of days, Ran Xueyi sneaked some food and hid it in her clothes to save some to eat later when she felt hungry at night.

Thankfully, nobody noticed. Or maybe they simply didn't take it in their eyes and played it off as childish behavior.

After their sumptuous meal, the children finally relaxed a bit. Some of them even confidently asked for a bath and a change of clothes.

Howev,

"Sorry, kids. We've been traveling in the ocean for a couple of days now, so the water supply is limited." The old man also pointed out one of their concerns with a solemn look. "As for the clothes,there's really nothing that could fit you."

The children who heard this were disappointed. However, they didn't make a huge scene just because of this.

"Well, we haven't taken a bath for days. So a day more wouldn't really matter, right?"

"That's true…"

"But—"

"We can still wear our clothes and wait until the boat arrives at the shore."

This immediately silenced those who wanted to complain. Thinking about it, once they're back on land, they could do anything. Besides, they really shouldn't express their disappointment towards the people who saved them.

Thus, the children were convinced and decided not to take a bath.

When the time to go to sleep arrived, the children let the adults choose where they'd sleep first. It was alright for them to sleep anywhere for as long as it wasn't a crate.

But aside from the old man, who had his own room, the rest of the rooms on the yacht were given to them.

"Xueyi, can I share the room with you?"

Ran Xueyi turned to the girl and saw that it was Janice, the sleep-talker in their group.

She honestly didn't have any impressions of Janice, aside from the fact that they slept in the same corner inside the crate.

Honestly, after being saved, Ran Xueyi wanted to sleep in a quiet and undisturbed place.

But sleeping alone now was slightly unpleasant.

So she agreed.

A few hours later, the children were tucked in their beds and deeply asleep. In the quiet of the night, with the sound of waves crashing against the yacht and the roar of the yacht's engine, a strange sound shattered the peace.

A sound like a pin dropping or chalk dropping to the ground was heard.

It wasn't worthy of attention. However, for someone who is a light sleeper like Ran Xueyi, this sound was a bit too distracting.

In addition, she had drank a lot of water during their meal, so the urge to pee suddenly came, causing her not to go back to sleep.

Standing up, Ran Xueyi avoided the other girls sprawled across the room. The restroom was located outside, so she needed to get out of there to finish her business.

But who would have thought she would come across an eerie situation?

"Ugh."

"What's wrong?"

"My stomach hurts."

"Are you serious?!"

"Of course! These kids ate too much and left nothing for us to eat. I barely even ate bread tonight."

"Shh! Don't shout so loudly. What if they hear us?"

"I don't care. Anyway, these kids are leaving."

"Still…"

The other voice hesitated but still sighed in the end.

"There should be a chocolate bar in my bag. I'll give you some later."

"Thanks, bro."

They continued walking down the hallway.

Ran Xueyi didn't think too much of their conversation. They really did eat a lot earlier, after all.

Feeling the urge to pee surging inside her again, Ran Xueyi stepped out of the door when the men suddenly continued talking.

"The harvest today is perfect. Mister Park seemed to have taken a liking to that young girl."

"Oh, the pretty one? What was her name again?"

"I think it was…Ran Xueyi?"

Ran Xueyi quickly retrieved her foot that was out of the room and soundlessly closed the door until there was a tiny gap that allowed her to hear the men talk.

Thankfully, they didn't notice her and continued.

"Speaking of the harvest, do you think we can have our turn next? I heard the last interns got their turns and enjoyed their time."

"Who knows when it'll be our turn? But if we do get our turn, which one do you think is the best one out of all of them?"

"I like the girl with the redhead. She seems loud. It'll be fun hearing her scream. What about you?"

Babump!

Ran Xueyi gripped the doorknob as tightly as she could. She couldn't completely understand what they were talking about. However, she felt an ominous feeling coming from their conversation.

Especially after hearing the other man speak.

"Hm, I like that girl named Ran Xueyi. She's pretty, has a fair complexion, and is soft. She'd be so adorable when I played with her."

"Are you an idiot? Mister Park has his eyes on her."

"I know! But a little touch won't hurt, right?"

They were getting further, and their voices turned into mumbles.

Even if Ran Xueyi wanted to hear more of their conversation, her body seemed to have become a block of ice.

Her blood ran still, but her heart was pumping so fast that she could even hear the sound of it in her ears.

Just what the hell is going on?
