After Being Stranded on a Deserted Island with a Strange Man

[Completed]

*Honest girl vs. cold-blooded tycoon / stealing someone's partner / taboo romance*

Fu Yin left everything behind and vanished from the world. She made sure no one could find her.

She joined a tour group at random and went wherever it took her, north or south, at home or abroad.

She never expected that the one time she took charge of her own life, she'd end up stranded on an island.

>

They'd left her behind.

Just when she thought fate had doomed her, a man emerged from the villa.

Fu Yin remembered him well. The previous night, during a game, someone had asked which of the group they'd least want to be stranded on a deserted island with.

He'd been sitting by the fire. When he looked up, his eyes met Fu Yin's.

She turned away, thinking, Him.

There was something unsettling about this man. She had to stay away from him.

He stopped a few steps away, still managing to smile. "It's just you and me now."

Fu Yin's heart pounded. She took an unobtrusive step back. "Could I borrow your phone? They took mine during the game last night. I fell asleep before I could get it back, and when I woke up this morning, it was gone. Someone might have taken it."

He flicked away the ash and exhaled a cloud of smoke. "You just said everything I was going to say."

>

Fu Yin was desperate. Was this what happened when one thought went wrong?

After six days of fear and anxiety, she'd finally grown calm and numb.

On the seventh night, he appeared at her door with a bottle of wine. That night, they both got a little drunk.

Days in the mountains, wild and delirious.

The one stroke of luck in their misfortune was that someone found them.

Before leaving, she gave him a card and a note, then quietly disappeared with all her lies: her fake name, identity, age, and past.

>

Fu Yin and Zhuang Yi were childhood sweethearts. Their families had already taken the two of them for future family, and all they needed was a marriage certificate.

Fu Yin had loved Zhuang Yi since she was little. Wherever Zhuang Yi went, she was sure to be there, caring for him and looking after him.

She didn't know what had come over her that day. The usually mild and dull Fu Yin broke up with Zhuang Yi, then disappeared for a while. When she came back, she was a different person.

She actually rejected Zhuang Yi's advances. Before, that would have been unthinkable.

At a friend's wedding, Fu Yin ran into Zhuang Yi and his group. Zhuang Yi called one of them Fourth Brother.

That day, Fourth Brother cornered her in Zhuang Yi's study.

"You like playing dirty, huh?"

Fu Yin futilely tried to push him away. "Fourth Brother, we're in A Yi's room."

"Doesn't that make it even more exciting? Call me Fourth Brother again."

>

She'd heard that Zong Lü was the head of the Zong family, a ruthless man who held the world in his hands. He made others bow their heads, and never bowed to anyone himself.

Remembering what had happened a year ago, Fu Yin couldn't help feeling uneasy.

Fang Suihe was caught while camping in the mountains.

This time, she'd been on the run for six months, three months longer than before.

She'd sprained her ankle. Unable to run or even walk fast, she was soon chased into a place with nowhere to hide.

She leaned against a large tree and watched helplessly as the group slowly approached.

A man stepped forward.

She knew that face better than anyone.

He was dressed in black, his eyes just as dark and still as an abyss.

He walked up to her and crouched down, touching her injured ankle.

Fang Suihe winced and tried to pull away, but he held her firmly.

"Are you going to run again?"

"Brother, I just went on a trip."

"A trip? It's been six months. That's long enough."

He looked into her eyes. There was no room for negotiation.

Fang Suihe could only nod. "I was planning to go back anyway."

"Good."

He looked at her and crooked a finger behind him.

His men gathered up all her things.

Like a lamb walking into a tiger's den, Fang Suihe started inching backward.

"You think you can still run? Want to try standing up?"

He grabbed her leg and pulled. She slid right up to him, and he lifted her into his arms.

The seconds she spent nestled against him felt as long as a century.

She imagined all the things he might do to her.

She looked up into his faintly smiling eyes. "We're going home."

Fang Suihe met Jiang Ye when she was five. They had always called each other brother and sister.

The first time they were apart was the year Jiang Ye got into college. Fang Suihe cried so hard that no one could comfort her. Jiang Ye spent the whole day soothing her and promised to come back and see her every vacation.

Back then, she wasn't afraid of him.

>

Fang Suihe was heartbroken, and Jiang Ye flew back to comfort her.

In the pouring rain, he stood beside her with an umbrella and gently put an arm around her shoulders.

>

When she graduated from college, he flew back from overseas just to celebrate with her.

He even gave her a present. Fang Suihe opened it and stared. "A necklace?"

"Yeah."

"Did you give me the wrong present? Isn't this for Sister Bai?"

"It's for you."

At the time, Fang Suihe didn't understand the look in his eyes.

>

Just as she was starting out in the world, Fang Suihe received her first paycheck.

Then disaster struck her family, and she lost everything overnight. With their dying breath, her parents entrusted her to the Jiang family.

At the Jiang home, Jiang Ye kept track of everything she did. Even when he wasn't there, she could feel an invisible gaze watching over her.

Afraid that reminders of the past would hurt her, and that she might feel uncomfortable living under someone else's roof, he set up a home for her. There were only the two of them, one living upstairs and the other downstairs.

He was a man of few words, but he cared for her deeply. Whenever it rained or snowed, he would show up in time. Whenever she was embarrassed or in a sorry state, he was there to keep her company. It was as if he would always be by her side.

Her work was going badly, and her boyfriend had changed his mind.

Drunk, Fang Suihe clung to Jiang Ye and cried, "Is everyone around me going to leave me one by one? Brother, will you leave too?"

He held her and said in a deep voice, "I won't."

>

One rainy evening, Fang Suihe prepared a lavish dinner at home to celebrate Jiang Ye's birthday.

Jiang Ye didn't get home until the middle of the night. As soon as he walked in, he headed straight for Fang Suihe's room.

She was kissed awake from her sleep, and smelled alcohol on his breath.

"Brother, what are you doing? It's me, Suihe."

"I know."
