Female Novel
Chapter 226 Miss Mu, welcome back (2)
“Are you alone?” Venus Mu was surprised, for she thought there would be a lot of bodyguards with her.
The beauty pointed at the chair opposite in a friendly manner, “Do you want me to send a troop to pickup a lady like you? You can’t run away anyway.”
Venus walked over and sat down.
“Don’t be so nervous. Since I can come and pick you up, I won’t do anything to you.” The beauty’sattitude was much gentler than last time.
Venus gave her a glance and stretched her limbs, “May I know your name, beautiful lady?”
She took a sip of red wine, with a smile on her face, but she still remained cold, “Just call me Ailsa.”
“Alisa? How is my son?” Venus asked with concern.
“Pretty good. He can eat, sleep and play.”
Venus found she was bored of talking to her, so she turned silent and said nothing more. The masksticking on her face made her a little painful, so Venus got up and took the liquid medicine out of herbag.
“Where are you going?” Alisa asked indifferently.
“Go and take off the mask. I won’t need it anymore.” Venus headed to the cabin.
“Wait.” Alisa called out to her, signaling her with her chin, “Put the phone here.”
Venus looked back at her twice and as she said, she threw the phone away.
“Pa!” She dropped it on the floor. But Venus didn’t go back to pick it up, for from now on, she hadnothing to do with her phone.
Alisa glanced at it, but she didn’t move.
When she came to the cabin and found the bathroom, she looked at her face in the mirror for a while.Though the one in the mirror was beautiful, it was not her. She poured some liquid on her hand andtore off the mask a little bit for the last time, revealing her white and smooth skin.
It was still comfortable to look at her own face, although not as beautiful as Yan Chu.
As she walked out of the cabin, Venus exerted all her strength to throw her mask into the sea. She nolonger needed to be Yan Chu. There was no loss, but only a sudden relief.
The reason why she took off the mask now was not only she didn’t need it, but she didn’t want her childto see Yan Chu’s face at the first sight.
Venus turned around and picked up the phone, and she put it on the table without moving it again.
“If you’re sleepy, go there and have a snap. It will be the morning when we get there.” Alisa pointed to acouch not far away.
Venus was surprised to know she would be so far away.
Picking up her bag, she walked over to the couch, put the bag on it, and lay down.
She had learned Alisa’s ruthlessness, and if she was going to take the treasure map by force, she hadno chance of winning, so she might as well do as she said.
The ups and downs of the yacht were like lullaby, and after more than ten hours’ flying, Venus was sosleepy that she fell asleep, hugging her bag tightly.
She didn’t know how long it took to get there. Until Venus was kicked in the shin, she woke up from herdream. What she saw was Alisa’s poker face and the light blue sky behind her.
It was dawn.
“I never thought you can have a such good sleep. Get up, here we are.”
Venus rubbed her eyes, climbing up with sore limbs. She casually combed her hair with her fingers,carried her bag, and followed Alisa off the yacht.
It was a lush green island, surrounded by the sea and basically no one could be seen on the beach, soit seemed to be another nameless island.
After walking forward for one or two hundred meters, a white villa stood in the thick trees, and two tallbodyguards approached them. Venus subconsciously clenched the strap of her bag.
Fortunately, they just glanced at her, and then said something to Alisa in a language that Venus couldnot understand. Alisa nodded and said something as well, then continued walking.
The closer she got to the white villa, the more nervous she became. She hadn’t seen her child in half ayear and wondered if he still remembered his mother.
Stepping into the villa, there were soldiers patrolling with guns everywhere, all with eyes as sharp ashawks.novelbin
Venus was reminded of a role that often appeared in war movies, mercenaries. And these men shouldbe the mercenaries.
Nervous and uneasy, she walked into the living room. She felt it got colder.
Compared to the last villa she went to, the decoration here was a little plainer, with white as the maintheme. There was also some modern furniture. As she looked around, a man walked out of one room,in custom-made shirt and slacks, with a pair of high-end white sneakers on his feet. He was stillwearing a silver mask on his face. His deep eyes were hidden behind the mask, unfathomable.
At the sight of him, inexplicably, Venus’s hairs all stood up.
“Miss Mu, welcome.” The man’s magnetic voice made her more terrified, “How’s your trip?”
Venus stared at him coldly, “Where is my child?”
“Where is the map?” He sat on the couch in the living room, with his long legs stretching out casuallyon the coffee table, in a relaxed manner, as if he was not negotiating with her, but talking to an oldfriend.
“I’m standing here of course I brought what you wanted. Let me see the baby first.” Venus insisted.
The man hooked his finger to signal Alisa to roll out a stroller. Venus’s heart was beating so fast thatbefore Alisa came to her, she ran towards the stroller.
Alisa stopped her immediately before she pounced over, refusing to let her see her baby. The mansaid, “Let her see her boy. She can’t escape the island anyway.”
Alisa then let her go.
Venus kneeled down near the stroller, whose eyes instantly turned wet.
The child had grown up a lot and the outline looked more and more like Kerry, wearing a colorful veston top and a diaper directly underneath, with bare feet. The two small arms were as tender and whiteas lotus roots, and he was looking at her with eyes in two colors, as if he was looking at a stranger.
Venus was with mixed feelings at the moment and as soon as she saw him, she burst into tears.“Honey, mom is here. Do you still remember me?”
Mother and son looked at each other for half a minute. The child was babbling, and at the same time,he reached out his little hand and waved it in the air. Venus held his little hand and kept kissing them.
As Venus enjoyed long-awaited reunion, the man suddenly said, “Well, your son is here, so where isthe thing I want?”
Venus wiped away her tears and turned her head to bargain. Even though she knew he wouldn’t agreeto it, but she still wanted to have a try.
“You said before that you would let me and my child go if I brought you the treasure map. Does thatcount?”
The man shrugged his shoulders, “Of course it counts.”
Venus was surprised, “Really?”
“Sure. Why would I lie to you?” The man was very frank.
Venus was still not satisfied, “Then you prepare a boat to send me out of the island, and when I go out,I will give you the treasure map.”
The man laughed before he said, “Miss Mu, you’re a bit too greedy. You haven’t given me what I wantyet, and you want me to prepare a boat for you? What if what you gave me is a fake one?”
Venus was nervous, but her expression was extremely calm, “Since I come here, I wouldn’t take a riskof my life and my child’s life, so how can it be fake?”
“I need to see it before I make a decision.”
Venus hesitated, not knowing whether to believe his words or not.
The man got up and walked over to the stroller, bending down to play with the child’s smiling face withhis fingers. The child immediately giggled and held his arms with two chubby hands, stars in his eyes.
Seeing this, Venus was about to collapse.
The man stood up and stared at her with a condescending stare, the smile in his eyes graduallydisappearing, replaced by cold and majesty. “Miss Mu, the reason I’m talking to you politely right now issolely because I’m in a good mood. When you make me lose my patience, you might be able to seehow rudely I’m going to take the treasure map from you.”
Venus looked up at him, but inside, she was frightened. What he said was true. She came alone andshe couldn’t oppose him.
After a while, when he showed his irritation, Venus gave in. She couldn’t take a risk, for it wasn’t a goodidea for her or the child.
