As Yan was bothered by this, she never informed Han Qing via text that she was already awake. She entered the washroom gloomily instead. After she brushed her teeth, she scratched her head as she looked at herself in the mirror out of frustration. At that moment, her stomach growled. She did not eat dinner last night, so her stomach was unable to stop protesting its hunger.
“I’m so hungry…” She stroked her stomach. I really want to eat something, but there is nothing to eat in the hotel room. How about… I head downstairs myself and find something to eat? But it seems inappropriate not to ask Han Qing first. His action has upset me, so I’m really unhappy and I don’t even want to talk to him—let alone go and look for him. Upon having such thoughts, she sighed heavily and lay back on the bed and stared at the ceiling in hunger without changing her clothes.
As she lay down, her phone suddenly vibrated—it was Han Qing who texted her via WeChat, asking if she was already awake. Seeing the message only infuriated Yan. If you want to know, you can come over to have a look instead of texting me. I’m not replying to you! She threw the phone on the bed indignantly. I’m ignoring him! But right after she had done that, she became timid again. He didn’t really do anything, so am I being too unreasonable for getting mad over this?
After thinking for a while, she gave in and picked up the phone to reply to the message. However, as soon as she replied, she heard someone knocking on the door outside. Yan immediately got off the bed before running to the door and opening it. She was surprised to see Han Qing standing outside with a bag. His eyes, which stared at her bare feet, paused for a moment before he entered the room.
“You didn’t have dinner before you slept last night, so you must be hungry now,” Han Qing spoke. “I brought you breakfast.”
She looked at the bag in his hand. He went downstairs to buy breakfast? I thought that we could go out to have breakfast together. Breakfast was provided during this honeymoon trip, but the timing was rather early for them. On top of that, what happened to Yan last night was out of the ordinary. Thinking that she would be hungry by the time she woke up, Han Qing personally brought her breakfast. While she ate her breakfast, Yan kept thinking about the incident where they stayed in different rooms, but she kept it to herself and refused to speak of it.
A different staff member appeared when it was time. The arrangement on the first day was to visit the tourist attractions. Although Yan and Han Qing were abroad, there were many visitors at the site. Fortunately, this staff member had already prepared a special passage for them, which allowed them to participate in most of the activities. It wasn’t long before Yan, whose stamina leaned on the average side, was exhausted, but she refused to let it show. However, Han Qing, who was observant, noticed it and suddenly said, “Let’s rest for a while.”
Only then did the staff member realize that he had walked too fast. Seeing that Yan had sweat trickling down her forehead, he smiled awkwardly. “The weather is quite hot. According to our itinerary, there is a special bar in front. Mrs. Han, can you hold on for a few more minutes?”
A few minutes? If Han Qing didn’t mention for us to rest, I think I can hold on for another one or two hours, let alone a few more minutes. Therefore, Yan nodded. “Okay.”
Then, the staff member led them to the bar while Han Qing pulled Yan into his arms. “Do you need me to carry you on my back?”
“There is no need for that. I can walk myself,” she muttered.
With a faint smile by his lips, he reminded her, “You don’t need to be shy. To the staff member, we are husband and wife, so anything that we’re going to do would be considered normal.”
She did not reply to him. He had deliberately whispered in her ear with a low voice and she felt his hot breath on her ear—it was itchy yet seducing.
However, what he said upset her even more. In the eyes of the staff member, we are husband and wife, so it’s normal for us to do anything. Is this the reason why he did that? What if the staff member finds out that we’re not husband and wife? Won’t he… Oh my, what nonsense am I thinking about? We are now on a trip, so we should be happy. Han Qing has treated me pretty well, so what nonsense am I thinking about?
The two of them entered a special couple-themed bar. A lot of the people inside were couples seated in pairs. Not long after Yan and Han Qing entered the bar, the staff member disappeared, allowing them to spend some time together alone. Initially, Yan wanted to have alcoholic drinks, but Han Qing changed her order to juice.
Upon seeing her favorite drink being changed into juice, she looked at him indignantly. He reached out before knocking on her head as a shadow of smile emerged on his face while he glanced at her. “Alright, stop looking at me like this. Are you here to drink or to quench your thirst?”
Yan pouted. “Alcoholic drinks can quench my thirst too.”
“No, what if you get drunk? Don’t you want to continue with our trip today?” Han Qing had seen how she was when she was drunk—she acted crazily. He still remembered the first time when she was drunk—she crazily asked him to kiss her, but she was unable to remember what she did after she became sober. If the situation had permitted, he would not have minded if his girlfriend became drunk and acted crazy in front of him. However, they were now outdoors and there were many people around.
In the end, Yan snorted before drinking her glass of juice. After that, she spotted many couples taking photos together with their phone and a thought suddenly struck her. I have been together with Han Qing for a while now, but we don’t seem to have taken any photos together… Just like those couples, should I take a photo together with him? But…
Looking at his cold face, she pushed away those thoughts. It was quite strange—Han Qing had treated her extremely well, but she still lacked the confidence when she faced him. There were plenty of things that she lacked the courage to do for the fear that he would hate her if she did so.
At that moment, there was someone suddenly shrieking in the bar. Startled by the sudden sound, Yan looked in the direction of the sound.
“F*ck you! I used my money to take you on a honeymoon trip, so what rights do you have to interfere with my business? Are you asking to be beaten?” It was a man beating a woman up.
The woman was beaten until she fell on the ground and couldn’t get up, no matter how hard she tried. Using her hands to protect her face, she shrieked as she cried. “Hubby, stop beating me… Please stop beating me! Sob, I was wrong…”
Yan, who had never witnessed such a scene, was staggered as she sat at her place with a blank stare as her heart rate quickened. W-What’s happening? Aren’t they husband and wife? But… why is he so violent?
Her brows were deeply furrowed. The scene that unfolded before her eyes dreadfully and negatively impacted. She looked at Han Qing, who also moved his calm gaze away from the scene and their eyes met with each other mid-air. The two of them rose to their full height simultaneously in the next second.
“Stop!” Yan yelled as Han Qing’s tall figure grabbed that man’s collar and easily lifted the latter up with one hand. She then ran to the woman, who was hurt from the beating, and helped her to get up. “Oh my God, are you alright?”
