Golden sunlight spilled onto the beach under a sky as pristine and blue as if it had been freshly washed. Each step on the fine, soft sand sent tiny, glittering seashells and pebbles scattering.

The beach was packed with people—families on vacation with their adorable kids, and lovey-dovey couples stuck to each other’s side.

Everyone was beaming with radiant smiles.

For the past few days, gloomy clouds had lingered, forcing the many people who’d wanted to visit the beach to stay cooped up in their hotels, sighing day after day as they stared out their windows. But now, a beautiful, sunny day had finally arrived!

At the turquoise sea’s edge, the water turned a deep cyan just a short distance out. But in the shallows, it was so clear you could see straight to the bottom, appearing incredibly translucent under the light. Unlike the deep blue ocean he was used to seeing, this was the first time Chen Yuan had ever seen a sea of such a vibrant turquoise.

A woman of breathtaking beauty stood by the shore.

Her skin was dazzlingly fair. She was tall and slender, yet her figure was full and alluringly voluptuous, every curve of her body perfectly formed.

She wore a light blue slip dress, its thin straps revealing her smooth back. The hemline extended to her ankles. Although it wasn’t revealing, it possessed a hazy, indistinct beauty that endlessly sparked the imagination.

The waves lapped at the shore, wetting her ankles.

Bathed in sunlight, the ends of the hair she had clipped up seemed almost transparent.

“Are you done yet?” Jiangg Ning asked softly.

“Almost. This is just too beautiful. Let me find a good angle and take a few more shots.”

As they spoke, a group of girls also on vacation walked past. They caught sight of Jiangg Ning’s back and froze, completely stunned.

Her aura was simply too ethereal.

After he finished taking pictures, Chen Yuan studied the photos on his phone, clicking his tongue in admiration. For a moment, he forgot to say anything to Jiangg Ning.

After waiting a moment without a response, Ningning turned to see him staring blankly at his phone.

“How did they turn out? Let me see.”

“Oh! Here.”

As he handed her the phone, Chen Yuan’s eyes remained glued to her.

Seeing Jiangg Ning standing by the sea in her modest, gauzy swimsuit cover, her ethereal aura perfectly complemented by the sea breeze, Chen Yuan felt an illusion that she was completely out of his league.

But when another thought surfaced—’She’s this beautiful, and she’s my girlfriend’—he felt an immense sense of satisfaction.

‘Ningning is just too beautiful. Her aura is simply indescribable.’

‘She’s like the perfect lady from a classic novel—gentle, considerate, and always knowing what’s on her husband’s mind. Her gaze is always overflowing with tenderness when she looks at him.’

Being watched by a gaze like that would make anyone feel completely enveloped in love.

It felt as if becoming her lover was like conquering half the world, like you could do anything.

‘She knew they were coming to the beach, so she deliberately chose this swimsuit that wasn’t revealing at all. Even if I wanted to be jealous, I couldn’t. In fact, it just makes me feel guilty for my own pettiness.’

“They’re beautiful. I love the way I look in your photos.”

Jiangg Ning handed the phone back to Chen Yuan. Taking his hand with a hint of shyness, she asked, “I’ve been looking forward to this for so many days. This is our first time at the beach together… will you come play in the water with me?”

She tilted her head.

“How about you give me a kiss, and then I’ll go with you,” Chen Yuan said, his cheeks growing a little warm.

He would have no problem saying something like that to Yaoyao.

But Ningning had an air about her that felt too sacred to profane.

So, teasing her took a little more courage.

As soon as he said it, Jiangg Ning was visibly taken aback. She glanced at the people around them, then lowered her head and whispered, “If you want a kiss, you can have one anytime back at the hotel. Why does it have to be here?”

“It definitely has to be here.”

Chen Yuan had already noticed a lot of guys staring in their direction. ‘Of course, they aren’t looking at me,’ he thought. ‘Their attention is all on my girlfriend. What are you looking at! She’s not your girlfriend!’

Jiangg Ning stared at him quizzically for a moment. Seeing that he didn’t seem to be joking and was simply standing there, waiting for her…

“Sigh… I’m helpless when it comes to you…”

She stepped closer, rising slightly onto her tiptoes.

“Shield me a little… And lower your head, or I’ll have to strain to reach…”

A moment later, their figures overlapped as Jiangg Ning’s slender fingers rested on his neck.

Closing her eyes, she offered up her gorgeous lips.

This scene left the guys watching from the sidelines completely dumbfounded.

In an instant, Chen Yuan was hit by countless stares filled with envy, jealousy, and hate. Some of the onlookers even had their fists clenched.

After the kiss, he was immediately delighted.

He let Jiangg Ning lead him by the hand, and they walked from the golden sand into the sea, splashing through the clear water. They went deeper until her cover-up was completely soaked, revealing the outline of the swimsuit beneath.

…

Swimming, diving, wakeboarding, and sunbathing.

They zipped across the sea on a luxury yacht, enjoying the thrill of the wind rushing past their ears and watching seagulls spread their elegant wings, carving one beautiful arc after another through the sky.

The frustration from the past few days of being unable to enjoy the beach was completely swept away.

Under the golden sun, Jiangg Ning and Chen Yuan held hands, creating countless beautiful memories on the beaches of Sanya.

From morning until afternoon, a smile never left Jiangg Ning’s face. She had smiled more in these few hours than she had in all the past few months combined.

If Jiangg Yao had been there to witness it all, she too would have sighed in admiration.

Seeing her older sister looking so happy, she would surely have shared in the joy of being so deeply in love.
