A Miao stretched and turned her head. "It would be strange if I didn't fall asleep in this environment!"

"Haha." Jiang Quanyu put a tray with a bowl on the small and round table. "Take some medicine."

A strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine came to her nostrils. Even after more than a month of taking it, A Miao still had not gotten used to it.

"It smells bitter." She covered her nose.

Jiang Quanyu took out a small jar from his pocket. "Here, plum candy sweets!"

A Miao picked up the bowl and drank it in one gulp, then put the sugar into her mouth with a wrinkled face.

"You also know that your condition. You will get used to it!" Jiang Quanyu handed her a paper towel.

Ever since A Miao had woken up, she had been very weak and was prone to a cold fever. After the consultation, several doctors suggested using traditional Chinese medicine to treat her disease slowly, and there were also some prescriptions that were helpful for uterine recovery.

The bullet had injured her uterus. If she could not recover, A Miao could never get pregnant in the future.

"Haha!" A Miao laughed at herself. "When I was poor, I used to eat steamed bread and drink cold water in the winter. Even if I had a fever, I had to go out to work. But now I'm made of glass."

Jiang Quanyu was grieved to see her like this. "Don't talk nonsense. You are still young, you'll be able to recover!"

"Aren't you busy today?" Knowing that he was worried about her, A Miao took the initiative to change the subject.

"It's especially for you." Jiang Quanyu looked at the snow outside the conservatory. "The doctor said your body is not suitable here. I have a proposal, but I don't know if you will like it or not."

At the S Group—

"Knock, knock!" Ding V knocked on the glass window outside.

Shen II hurriedly opened the window. This was the 30th floor...

"What's up?" Shen Xinglan was not surprised at Ding V's behavior.

Ding V jumped in. "I saw A Miao."

"Where?" Shen Xinglan suddenly stood up quickly.

A Miao listened to Jiang Quanyu's advice and went to his private island to support her body. The climate of the tropical island was helpful for her physical and mental recovery.

"It's a pity that I can't stay with you." Jiang Quanyu accompanied her to sit by the sea. "But I will try to come to see you once a month!"

A Miao looked at the big blue sky nearby and relaxed. "No, you're busy! I am free when I'm alone!"

"Haha, is this the so-called kick down the ladder?" Jiang Quanyu smiled. "By the way, I'll leave an old master here who can teach you to do tai chi and yoga. It's good for your health."

A Miao suddenly stopped laughing and looked at him with some seriousness. "Jiang Hua... No, Quanyu..."

"You may as well continue to call me Jiang Hua. I am used to it." Jiang Quanyu interrupted her. "I also know what you want to say. Don't worry, I know we are friends."


What he said made A Miao feel even more ashamed. "I owe you so much, how will I be able to repay it in the future..." She lowered her head guiltily and did not see Jiang Quanyu's eyes flash a meaningful glance.

"Aren't we friends?" Jiang Quanyu handed her some milk. "Well, if you're really embarrassed, how about working for me when you're well?"

A Miao raised her head in surprise. "Can I?"

"Of course!" Jiang Quanyu gave her a playful look. "You are a brilliant student and a talented person!"

The next day, Jiang Quanyu arranged everything and left, while A Miao lived a very regular life. She got up every morning to eat breakfast prepared by a nutritionist, then went for a walk, followed by tai chi with the old master, then took a nap in the afternoon before going to yoga.

"Miss A Miao, your medicine!" Aunt Zhang was a stout, middle-aged woman, who cooked especially for A Miao.

A Miao grabbed it with a wrinkled face. "Why do I feel like I just drank it!"

"Haha, that was all in the morning." Aunt Zhang put a dish of plum candies on the table. "Medicine that's good for your health tastes bitter, but you can bear it!"

"Aunt Zhang does not need to be so polite, just call me A Miao." She drank the medicine all at once and then followed it up with the plum candy.

Aunt Zhang smiled and took the bowl back. "OK! By the way, they saw the beluga whale on the south side of the island yesterday. If you have nothing to do, you can go and take a look."

"A beluga whale?" A Miao said in surprise. "No, beluga whales shouldn't be in this sea area during this season!"

So, after practicing yoga in the afternoon, she walked south along the sea. The island was not big. 10 minutes later, A Miao saw a shallow bay. There was really a jet of water coming up from the blue water.

"Oh my god!" She could not help running a few steps, and more than five meters away from the shore, she clearly saw a beluga whale swimming toward her under the sea.

A Miao quickly stepped back, and the beluga surfaced but did not swim to the shore.

"So smart! You also know that the water here is shallow," said A Miao.

All of a sudden, A Miao felt as if someone was watching her. She suddenly turned around. The beach was empty, only she was there alone.

"Who's there?" Behind her was large coconut grove, from where she heard a rustling sound.

A Miao walked slowly toward the coconut grove. "Is anyone there?" She stood beside a coconut tree and looked inside. The sea breeze was blowing and nothing was there.

"Am I nervous?" A Miao scratched her head and returned to the seaside.

The appearance of the beluga whale had made A Miao's life on the small island much more fun. She went to see it every afternoon. Even Aunt Zhang was amazed that the beluga whale came to visit once every afternoon as if it had agreed to do.

"Look, there it is!" Jiang Quanyu came to see her today, and A Miao specially led him to see the beluga whale.

Jiang Quanyu looked at the whale squirting water up and frowned. "It's here every day?"

"It was here when I came this afternoon anyway." A Miao threw a fish into the sea. "I don't know about the other times."

With a deep gaze, Jiang Quanyu cast a meaningful look at the beluga before he left.

He stayed on the island for a day, and before leaving, he asked A Miao, "Have you been feeling better recently?"

A Miao, smiling happily and nodding, was helping him pack fresh shrimp-paste made by Aunt Zhang. "Yes, the doctor came to check me last week and said that my resistance had basically recovered."

"Do you want to continue studying?" Jiang Quanyu asked her. "I can help you apply for remote learning."

"Really?" A Miao rubbed her hands happily. "Will it be very troublesome?"

Jiang Quanyu looked at her with amusement. "Yes, then you can forget it."

"Don't!" A Miao curled her lip and said, "You have said it and you must keep your word."

"Haha, wait for me to arrange it for you."

When Jiang Quanyu left the island by plane, he looked down at the sea area where the beluga whale was found.

"Master, we have checked. The whale did only appear at that time."

Jiang Quanyu frowned. "Normally, where is the fish?"

"That is not clear, but the path of its travels should be not far from here." His subordinate gave him a look. "Why don't we dive down and follow it?"

"No." Jiang Quanyu wanted to think. "Check the nearby islands."

Soon afterward, Jiang Quanyu received a few more pieces of information.

"There are five islands with owners nearby, and we have found the owners of four of them." His subordinate drew out one of the pages and showed it to him. "This one was not found."

Jiang Quanyu stared at the green island in the photo and said, "Don't look there."

He knew that many criminals liked to use small islands as their base camp, and if they crossed the line by accident, the aftermath would be very troublesome.

"The beluga whale was raised by the owner of this island." The subordinate added, "We found it moving near the island, so we checked it out. The workers on the island said it was the owner's."

Not knowing why, Jiang Quanyu was inexplicably relieved to see the result.

"Don't worry about it, I guess it went to eat fish near our island."

His subordinate nodded, wanting to speak but were stopped by his expression.

Jiang Quanyu gave him a look. "Is there anything else?"

"Master, your father asked you to come back."

"When?" Jiang Quanyu took out his cell phone, and sure enough, there was a missed phone call on it.

At Old Jiang's house—

"Quanyu!" A tall beauty stood under the eaves and smiled at him. "You're back!"

"Xiao Yue?" Jiang Quanyu asked, "Why are you in my house?"

Xiao Yue, dressed in a well-cut professional outfit and walking with a full aura, approached Jiang Quanyu and said, "Just passing by. I've come to see Uncle Jiang."

"Is it..." Jiang Quanyu looked in her eyes. "Go in!"

On the sofa of the sitting room, an old man sat in a Tang suit, who looked as if he could still live for a long time, in both complexion and facial features.

"Dad!" Jiang Quanyu sat opposite him and said, "Why are you looking for me so urgently?"

Jiang Sheng looked at his only son and was extremely satisfied, but he still said with a straight face, "I can't call you back unless it's important?"

"Who are you attacking?" Jiang Quanyu laughed. "Don't lose your temper. Or my mother will complain."

Jiang Sheng glared at him and turned to smile at Xiao Yue. "Xiao Yue, go to the kitchen and see if your aunt's meal is ready. We are all hungry!"

"OK, Uncle Jiang!" Knowing that the father and son had to talk, Xiao Yue nodded and left.

Jiang Sheng lowered his voice. "Is the woman named A Miao in good health?"

"No!" Jiang Quanyu took a glance at his eyes. "Why are you asking about her?"

"Nonsense, your soul has been taken away by that girl. I have to ask!" Jiang Sheng gave him a look and his face became serious. "You can't take her seriously. You know her status."

Jiang Quanyu said lightly, "She is my friend."

"Come on!" Jiang Sheng moved the walnuts in his hand. "Don't say I didn't remind you that the purpose of your visit to China was for Shen Xinglan. Don't make trouble. Also, Xiao Yue has liked you from an early age. We and the Xiao family are the perfect match."

Jiang Quanyu gave his father a quick look. "I don't like her."

"How do you know if you haven't tried?" Jiang Sheng stared at him. "Stay a few more days this time and get along well with Xiao Yue."

"OK! It's time for dinner!" A luxuriously dressed woman approached in a hurry. "Have you lectured your son again?" She gave Jiang Sheng a pat and held out her hand to Jiang Quanyu. "Come, leave your father alone. Let's eat!"

Xiao Yue followed, watching Jiang Quanyu's eyes sweep around, and smiled slightly at him. When he turned and went to the dining room, her eyes flashed with disappointment.
