Shu Yan was rejected by Yan Xici, and it would be false to say that he was not disappointed, but this answer seemed to be expected.

However, she raised her head and looked at him again.

"Yan Xici, I don't want you to take me away. I just want to ask, if I try to leave here and he asks you to stop me, will you take action?"

This question made Yan Xici pause.

He stared into Shu Yan's eyes, thought for two seconds, and then laughed.

"Shu Yan, you should understand how I feel about you, so if my adoptive father gives an order, let me stop you."

"I think I'm quite happy to stop you."

Yan Xici's words directly made Shu Yan's face darken.

She shouldn't have asked!

Waste of feelings!

Shu Yan scanned the surrounding environment and continued to ask: "Did you all leave by plane? Isn't there a boat?"

Yan Xici knew what she wanted to do almost instantly, but he was still very confident in the defense capabilities of Elqi Island, so he directly told Shu Yan all about the situation on the island.

"On the entire island, there are only ten speedboats and one airplane."

"The speedboat is at the warehouse by the sea. As for the plane, it is in the manor. If you are interested, I can take you to see it."

Shu Yan listened carefully, but in his mind he was thinking about the probability of his successful escape.

First, she has driven speedboats, and airplanes are not within her scope.

Secondly, it is unknown whether there is a key to the warehouse and whether there is anyone guarding it.

If Yan Xici takes her to see it, maybe there will be an unexpected surprise the next time she goes there.

"OK."

Shu Yan smiled and nodded, then pointed in the direction of the speedboat, "I want to take a speedboat out for a spin. Can you drive it?"

"..."

Yan Xici squinted his eyes and stared at her for a long time. Finally, he curved his lips and led her that way.

He picked one at random, then dragged it down from the warehouse into the sea. He looked at Shu Yan and said, "Let's go."

Shu Yan raised his eyebrows and felt excited. He quickly got on the speedboat and watched Yan Xici start it.

"Sit tight. If you're scared, tell me and I'll slow down."

Yan Xici looked back and set off directly after saying that.

The wind blowing against his face made his hair messy and tangled. Shu Yan stared at Yan Xici's back, his eyes sparkling.

She watched the island retreat rapidly, raised her eyes and glanced at the navigation system on the speedboat, licked her lips and slowly moved toward Yan Xici.

Although what she wants to do is a bit unkind, it is understandable, right?

Furthermore, it is not very far from the island now, and Yan Xici is very capable, so nothing should happen to him.

Thinking about it, Shu Yan bumped into Yan Xici when the speedboat turned right, and even pushed Yan Xici hard.

Yan Xici was able to hold his own, but looking at her firm eyes, his heart moved slightly, so he looked at her in surprise, and was knocked away and fell into the sea.

"Shu Yan! You..."

His voice was drowned in the waves.

Shu Yan quickly grasped the direction, set up the navigation, and rushed away from the original channel very quickly, disappearing from Yan Xici's sight.

The sea breeze blew on my cheeks, stimulating, exciting, and giving me a breath of freedom.

Shu Yan couldn't help but smile and rolled his eyes, as if he could see himself returning to the shore and finally returning to Nancheng.

Unfortunately, she didn't stay excited for long.

Because the speedboat ran out of gas.

"..."

Shu Yan sat blankly on the speedboat, staring at the fuel gauge. His excitement was gone, only numbness remained.

All right.

Yan Xici did it on purpose.

She asked him why he was so successful, but he threw her away.

It turned out that he was sure that she wouldn't be able to go far.

Shu Yan floated on the sea, and was finally pulled back by Yan Xici and others.

She had her head buried in the quail, and her patience was almost exhausted.

Back at the manor, Yan Xici looked at her drooping head and sighed helplessly.

"The foster father wants to see you."

Shu Yan glanced at him, turned around and entered the castle.

In the castle, Meng Xiao looked at her dejected face and sighed slightly in his heart.

Forget it, since she doesn't want to get married, let's not mention this matter for now.

but……

"Shu Yan, there is a way for you to leave here. Do you want to try it?"

After hearing Meng Xiao's words, Shu Yan's first reaction was to shake his head, "Just get married."

"Not marriage."

Meng Xiao couldn't help but laugh when he saw her trying to avoid him.

"I want you to work hard to improve your strength within three months. As long as you have the ability to protect yourself, I will no longer force you to marry Yan Xici."

These words made Shu Yan's eyes suddenly light up.

Improve your own strength?

"How can I be able to protect myself?"

Shu Yan stared at Meng Xiao cautiously, fearing that he would dig a hole for him to jump into.

"I have many capable people. As long as they think you can pass the test, even if you have the ability to protect yourself, I won't stop you if you want to leave."

"Of course, you only have three months."

Meng Xiao spoke seriously, and Shu Yan listened carefully. After thinking for a while, she nodded decisively.

"It's a deal!"
