Chang Yuan meant to teach Zhao Qianqian a lesson. He had never expected that he would accidentally kiss her.
Zhuo Qianqian was also stunned. The moment they kissed, her entire body went numb, and she didn’t have any strength to struggle at all. She was thinking in her heart, “His arms are warm! His lips are so soft!”
“Wait, what am I thinking? Chang Yuan is a human-faced monster.”
At this moment, Tong Wei saw that Chang Yuan was now holding Zhuo Qianqian in his arms. She could no longer stand by.
She picked up the long spear and stepped forward nervously.
“You, you let go of Qianqian!”
But before Tong Wei could finish speaking, Chang Yuan grabbed the other end of the spear in Tong Wei’s hand with one hand and exerted force.
As expected, Tong Wei also fell into Chang Yuan’s arms.
“Ah!”
With a soft cry, Tong Wei and Zhuo Qianqian were both in Chang Yuan’s arms now. The two girls tried to struggle out, but their bodies had no strength at all.
For some reason, when Chang Yuan was holding them, their bodies could not help but tremble.
Zhuo Qianqian grew up under her family’s supervision and had always been a cold and aloof daughter. In her entire life, other than being hugged by her father when she was young, no other man had ever touched her.
Let alone touching her, no man was allowed to get close to her. The chairwoman of a listed company was just that cold and aloof, and her aura was equally powerful.
Although Tong Wei had a lot of contact with men because of her job as a flight attendant, it was only limited to doing her duty. Tong Wei had never been this intimate with a man before.
Even her first love in school didn’t get to touch her.
Zhuo Qianqian and Tong Wei were both shocked. So this was how it felt like being held by a man?
“Let go of us! You human-faced monster!” Zhuo Qianqian and Tong Wei protested.
Chang Yuan thought to himself, “Whatever I said they wouldn’t believe me anyway. I can’t just simply take the blame.
Let him show them what a real monster would do.
“You kept calling me a monster, let me show you what a real monster…”
However, before Chang Yuan could finish his sentence, Qiao Yuran suddenly spoke up.
“Wait, all of you have misunderstood Captain Chang Yuan. Just now…I was the one who started it”
Her face was as red as a tomato. She lowered her head and clasped her fingers. She looked at her shoes shyly and felt guilty.
Chang Yuan was stunned for a moment and cursed in his heart. “Why didn’t you speak up for me earlier? I was going to make a move on them! Are you playing me?”
It was like he had almost taken off half of his pants, but someone helped him put them on again.
Seeing this, Zhuo Qianqian hurriedly said, “Tong Wei, we’ve misunderstood Captain Chang Yuan. It turns out that he is really a gentleman!”
Tong Wei quickly echoed her, “I’ve always said that Captain Chang Yuan would never do such a thing. I trust my instincts!”
Chang Yuan went speechless after hearing them. The two women knew very well that if it wasn’t for Qiao Yuran’s interruption, he would have made a move on them already.
They didn’t want it to happen.
They were just trying to remind Chang Yuan to be a gentleman.
Chang Yuan would not stay quiet if he got bullied. “Weren’t you guys threatening to punish me just now? Now that you knew you were wrong. So, it’s my turn to punish you all.” Chang Yuan thought sinisterly.
The three women looked at Chang Yuan’s evil gaze. They seemed to be a little scared.
“You… What are you trying to do!”
Zhuo Qianqian shielded Tong Wei and Yuran behind her and spoke cautiously. She did not dare to look at Chang Yuan directly in the eye. As long as she kept looking at Chang Yuan, their kissing scene would appear in her mind.
“Nothing much. You guys attacked me just now. Isn’t it my turn to punish you guys?”
The three women looked guilty. “It’s our fault for attacking you. We apologize!”
“We’re a family on this deserted island. Do you still want to punish your family?”
“That’s right. We’re all a family now. If a family member does something wrong, we forgive each other. There’s no point in punishing us!”
The three women spoke one after another. They spoke so righteously as if they were not entirely wrong for attacking Chang Yuan.
“When I was besieged by you just now, why didn’t you say that we are a family? No, I must punish you today!”
Chang Yuan glared at the three of them. It would be a great loss for him if he didn’t do anything.
“From today onwards, I’ll leave housework like cooking to you! I don’t care how you divide the work, but everyone must do something!”
“Also, all of you need to work today, go find long logs as thick as an arm; the more the better. We need to expand the courtyard!”
Chang Yuan finished his instructions.
From Tong Wei, this was not a punishment at all. She had been doing house chores back then. On the contrary, Qiao Yuran and Zhuo Qianqian never do any house chores. It could be said that they could relieve Tong Wei’s burden.
“Ah, I have never done housework before. Can I not do it?” Qiao Yuran frowned. She had parents at home and assistants back in the city, so she did not have to do anything herself.
However, this was a deserted island. Chang Yuan would not spoil her. “No, this is what everyone must do. Since you say that we are a family, then you must do your duty!”
“Alright, I will do it!”
Zhuo Qianqian did not say anything against it.
The three women left.
They entered the forest to find logs and branches.
Chang Yuan kept himself busy with the toolbox in the cave.
He had a Swiss Army knife, but he could not use it for everything. If he used it too much, it would be blunt. Hence, Chang Yuan started to make more tools.
Pendants, chisels, shovels, and other useful tools.
With the assistance of these tools, works like cutting wood and digging holes would become much easier.
Chang Yuan came out of the cave with a shovel and chisel.
There were about eleven pieces of flat areas outside the cave. The ground near the cave was mostly stone, and those further were soil. It was a terrain that suitable for fencing.
Chang Yuan quickly used tools to build a rectangular trench as the foundation and a neat row of small pits. When the three women came back with logs, they could start building the wall.
This would prevent Director Zhang’s group from stealing things.
Chang Yuan was not worried about the three women going the forest. With Zhuo Qianqian leading them, nothing could happen. He knew Zhuo Qianqian was very cautious.
As expected, before the sun set, the three women came back dragging a lot of logs. They all looked exhausted..
