“Xiaoxiao trusts me so much? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll use your child to exchange for the Shen family’s funds?”

Shen Xiaoxiao did not even raise her head when she heard those words. In any case, the two of them would not be able to fight at this point. Moreover, they had already said this, so it was not a good idea to avoid it.

“My biological son, would I give him away without making any preparations? Do you think I’m stupid? Didn’t you see it? Your family’s secret guards all look at Little Treasure in a different light.”

Long Xi frowned slightly. Did Shen Xiaoxiao mean that there was a high possibility that her people were all around him? Was that what she meant?

However, no matter how well the arrangements were made, a mother would still be worried. However, Xiaoxiao had never shown any signs of worry. Why was that?

“Long Xi, no matter how ruthless you are, you will never be ruthless to a four-year-old child. Based on my judgment, I won’t be wrong about that. Therefore, I’m not worried. Besides, so what if you’re young? If you want to become the future successor of the Dark Empire, if you don’t be ruthless to yourself and suffer a little, you’ll never grow up.”

Long Xi felt that it was a little out of place for Shen Xiaoxiao to say these words. These words were really vicious to a pair of children. However, if he was really his child, perhaps he would have done the same thing. Back then, he had almost thought that Little Treasure was his child, and he had even prepared to send his child overseas for training.

“Yan Kuan is a little different from the rumors. He…”

“Is he too weak?”

“Yes, at least the Black Emperor that I saw was too weak.”

“The Black Emperor that you saw, how can you be sure that he is the Black Emperor?”

Long Xi was shocked and immediately sat up. The violent movements caused the kayak to sway. However, Shen Xiaoxiao still looked relaxed. She did not even look at him and closed her eyes, as if she knew that he would react this way.

“Are you saying that that is not the Black Emperor, but a fake?”

“What else? Do you think that my husband is that weak? That he would be rescued by a woman several times over?”

When Long Xi heard the words ‘my husband’, a strong anger actually rose in his heart.

“Where is the real Yan Kuan?”

Long Xi spoke again, but this time, after waiting for a long time, Shen Xiaoxiao did not say anything. Long Xi just looked at her and sat motionlessly on the kayak.

Time ticked by, and the sun grew bigger and bigger. The intense sunlight made their lips dry up, and Shen Xiaoxiao could no longer lie there quietly and motionlessly.

She sat up and looked at Long Xi who was still in that position waiting for her answer. She shook her head helplessly and said, “He’s doing something that he thinks is very important.”

“What is it? Why didn’t he come back even though he knew you were in danger? Is he really a man leaving the three of you behind?”

“Do you also think that he’s not a man? I also think that the next time you have the chance to see him, you should help me ask him what he thinks.”

Shen Xiaoxiao’s words made it difficult for Long Xi to answer. It seemed that Xiaoxiao did not know where he was or when he would come back.

“Other than the properties under his name, he can even throw away the Dark Empire. This Boss Yan is making me more and more curious.”

“Are you curious? There is nothing to be curious about. He is too stubborn. He always does what he thinks is the right thing to do. There were many times when he did not know that doing so might hurt others. Perhaps, he might even miss the most important moment.”

The topic became heavier and heavier. This was the first time Shen Xiaoxiao had talked about this with Long Xi in such a frank manner

“Actually, I’m more curious about you, Xiaoxiao. Compared to Boss Yan, I think a woman like Xiaoxiao has enough ability to make people go crazy over her.”

“Such a high evaluation? I’m flattered. What time is it? I’m hungry.”

Long Xi looked at the time and saw that it was only about 10:30. How long had it been since she ate? How could she be hungry again? He then remembered that Shen Xiaoxiao was so weak and hungry that she immediately did not say anything. He took the knife that was placed there and jumped into the sea. So that was how it was?

A few minutes later, Long Xi popped his head out and held two big fish in his hands. D*mn it, the fish was so big that it was scary close to the deep sea.

“I’ll give you two fish to eat. Is that enough?”

After Long Xi finished speaking, he sat on the side and started to prepare. Shen Xiaoxiao quietly watched the man’s every move. If it weren’t for those disputes, this man who washed his hands and made soup for her would really… She really didn’t want to miss it.

Other than eating raw and cold food, they didn’t have any extra food or water intake for the day. Shen Xiaoxiao leaned weakly against the kayak and watched the red sun slowly fall from the sky. No one knew how long they would drift and where they would drift to.

Beep…

The sound of a siren came from afar. Shen Xiaoxiao was the first to wake up. Her hearing was normally good. Long Xi looked at Shen Xiaoxiao’s suddenly excited look and asked in surprise, “What’s wrong?”

“There’s a siren. It’s at our 10 o’clock.”

Long Xi was shocked. He thought that it was about time for people to appear, but he did not hear anything. Did Xiaoxiao really hear it?

“Are you sure?”

“Of course. Should we go in that direction? I’m sure I didn’t mishear.”

Perhaps it was because there was hope, the two began to paddle in the direction that Shen Xiaoxiao had mentioned. Sure enough, after more than ten minutes, the whistle sounded again. This time, there was even a small black dot in the distance. Only then did the two become really excited.

The only bad thing was that the sky was getting darker and darker. If they waited until it was dark and the people on the cruise ship still did not see them, they would have to miss them again.

“Will they not see us?”

“No, I have a way. Just look at what it is.”

Long Xi took out a lighter from his trouser pocket. Shen Xiaoxiao’s eyes lit up. Was he going to burn something?

“Burn this. This will easily cause black smoke. If we burn it together with our clothes, those people will definitely see us. We just have to hurry. In half an hour at most, it will be dark here.”

“If we burn it like this, what if the kayak breaks? Are you brainless?”

Shen Xiaoxiao directly complained about Long Xi. Long Xi was instantly speechless. Yes, he had not considered this problem either. Could it be that they could only wait?

“Why don’t we take a gamble?”

“Burn our tails. Sit over here with me. When the fire reaches the bottom of the kayak, we can’t burn it anymore. You sit with me.”

When Shen Xiaoxiao said this, Long Xi smiled slyly and nodded. Immediately, he did as he was told and started burning at the stern.

A pungent smell of burning and thick black smoke rose. However, they both muttered about the burning speed. In less than five minutes, the kayak was about to be burned to the bottom. The two of them immediately extinguished it with seawater. It was already getting late. They did not know if the cruise ship in the distance had seen them or not.

However, Long Xi was already sitting beside Shen Xiaoxiao at this time. A hand gently wrapped around her shoulder. As he planned step by step, Shen Xiaoxiao approached his side. Night had arrived. The cold sea breeze blew from all directions.

At this moment, being reserved and shy had long been of no use.

Even though Long Xi knew that such a short-term reliance would disappear after the cruise ship arrived, he did not want to miss it. He did not want to miss this moment of warmth.

“Look, it’s coming….”
