QTIMP -Chapter 218 Character Persona – Fool (Part 14)

Si Qiu raised her hand in a blocking gesture, and he did not continue moving forward. Her hand then gently moved to his cheek again.

“Alright, Elias, do you even know how good-looking you are? You’re like a god of beauty descending into the world, so dazzling that no one dares to compete with you. In this world, only I am qualified to have you. No one else is worthy of the two of us.”

Si Qiu didn’t think she was talking nonsense. Her mother had long told her that Si Qiu was an angel in this world, possessing perfect beauty and a pure soul.

She deserved everything best. Those who called her stupid were just jealous—jealous that she didn’t need to struggle or work hard to get what she wanted.

She knew she was a little foolish, but her mother was very capable. Anyone in the world might deceive her, but her mother wouldn’t.

Elias didn’t know what Si Qiu was thinking in her mind, but he was convinced by her words. Yes—only the two of them in this world were worthy of possessing each other.

“Qiuqiu, do you really mean what you just said?”

He leaned forward and carefully pulled her into his arms.

Si Qiu looked a little dissatisfied at his doubt. “Elias, don’t question me. Boys always like to make things complicated.”

Hearing this, Elias didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, but at the same time he felt an inexplicable sense of peace. He thought he had probably, maybe, perhaps found his rib.

Thinking of this, he lowered his head and looked at her fair little face. Then he silently corrected himself—maybe he was the rib instead.

Si Qiu had no idea that she was using the same one-track-minded “brainwashing logic” her mother always used on her… on Elias.

And yet, he accepted it completely.

Two days later, the ship approached a small island. The port was filled with heavily armed guards, and even those in different attire did not linger on the dock for long.

Moreover, the moment they saw the ship approaching, they all immediately kept their distance.

Si Qiu wore a sling beach dress, her hair braided into a single plait, and a wide-brim straw sun hat. She held her phone in her hand.

She happily skipped forward, but after only a few steps, Elias grabbed her.

“Be careful.”

Whether it was the guards or patrolmen around them, even though they couldn’t understand Chinese, they could clearly see their boss’s attitude.

Wasn’t he supposed to avoid women? Didn’t they say he avoided all physical contact as if he were completely detached? Why had he suddenly changed after going out once?

Then the girl came closer, and her face appeared in front of everyone.

Their thoughts immediately changed.

So this was the kind of “angel descending to earth”…

Even the scorching sunlight seemed unable to block the sudden chill that swept through them, instantly sobering them up.

Theodore even wrapped an arm around Michel. “Haha, the boss has been releasing energy everywhere lately. I bet he’ll pick you tonight.”

He thought he was speaking quietly, but in reality everyone around heard it clearly.

In an instant, people’s thoughts began to drift in the wrong direction, and their gazes unconsciously shifted toward Elias and Si Qiu again.

“Releasing energy”… tsk tsk—was it that the beautiful lady couldn’t handle it, or was their boss not good in bed? Could it be that bringing back an angel-like woman was just a cover, and the real target was Michel…?

Theodore had no idea what others were thinking. Unlike Michel, he was worried these thoughts might reach the boss and get him killed. So he directly swung a punch into Theodore’s abdomen.

Theodore was caught off guard. Although he tried to block it, he still took the hit. He clutched his stomach with one hand and pointed at Michel with the other.

“Tonight when the boss trains with you, I’ll definitely just stand by and watch the show. I won’t step in to take the hits for you.”

As soon as he said this, everyone around instantly pulled their attention back. Oh, so it’s sparring—nothing unusual then.

Instead, their overreaction drew a contemptuous eye-roll from Freya. She let out a scornful laugh, thinking they were a bunch of idiots who only had muscles and no brains.

Don’t be fooled by how their boss usually wears a suit and looks refined—he’s actually a combat maniac. On this island, which is full of armed personnel, which one of them hasn’t been beaten up by the boss before?

After disembarking, Si Qiu refused the luxury car. Elias had no choice but to accompany her on a sightseeing cart instead. Freya snatched the driver’s job from someone else and took the wheel, driving them toward the villa.

“Oh, my lovely little cutie. You can call me Freya. Where did our boss bring you from?”

Si Qiu looked at her in mild confusion. Elias warned her in English: “Freya, cut that out.”

“Oh, boss, aren’t you being a bit stingy? There are barely any women on the island. The little cutie will get bored. As a fellow woman, wouldn’t it be better if I kept her company?”

“Fellow woman? Are you sure?”

“Oh, boss, don’t get stuck on the details.”

“What are you two talking about?” Si Qiu couldn’t help but ask.

As soon as Freya heard her speak, she immediately switched to Chinese.

“Little cutie, you’re from China?”

Her Chinese wasn’t as fluent as Elias’s; it was a bit stiff and awkward, but still perfectly understandable.

Si Qiu blinked her clear eyes. “Pretty lady, are you Elias’s subordinate?”

Freya burst out laughing. She was a typical Western girl—tall, sexy, and very outgoing. “Yes, I am that guy’s subordinate. So is the little cutie going to be our future boss’s wife?”

Si Qiu didn’t answer. Instead, she looked toward Elias.

Elias replied in German: “Sie wird meine große Liebe sein.”

(She will be my great love.)

Freya looked slightly surprised.

Si Qiu didn’t understand, she just carefully observed both of their expressions. Elias reached out and gently ruffled the top of her head.

The entire island’s layout was very well planned, with a clean yet romantic style. However, heavily armed personnel could be seen everywhere, making the atmosphere feel somewhat oppressive.

But Si Qiu had always been the type to automatically filter out negative emotions.

“Elias, is the place we’re going to stay that light blue villa up ahead?”

With one hand on her lower back and the other resting on the front rail, Elias followed the direction she pointed.

“Yes, that’s it. The front is single-story, the back is two-story. There are both indoor and outdoor swimming pools. Behind it there’s also a golf course. There’s also a horse ranch, a racing track, and other facilities. I’ve already had everything you might need prepared. If you’re missing anything, you can just tell them directly—or tell me.”

Si Qiu kept taking photos, intending to post them on her account. But suddenly she realized they wouldn’t upload.

She quickly leaned closer to Elias. “Elias, can you check this for me? Why can’t I post anything from my account?”

Elias didn’t even need to look to know the reason. He took her phone.

“The island’s network runs through a dedicated satellite. Wait a moment—I’ll authorize your access.”
