Love Began with the First Meeting

Chapter 556 Reaching QY Island (Part One)

A true relationship is not simply about holding each other's hands during good times.

It is also about having lots of misunderstandings but choosing not to let go.

At the international airport of A City, Brian and Molly were sitting in the VIP lounge for security check.

Out of boredom, Molly started reading the fashion magazines prepared by the ground crew. She used to just read this for fun, but ever since moving into Brian's villa and working in the music circle as Spark's assistant, she started to have a sense of fashion. Living at the villa, Brian had provided her nothing less than the best. This allowed her to know new and more brands. Right now, fashion was no longer a "Greek" thing for her, just like in the past. However, she craved nothing more than an ordinary life. Luxury wasn't much of an importance in her life, although at that moment she was wearing luxury brands from head to toe.

On the other hand, Brian was working on his laptop. Sometimes, he furrowed his eyes. Sometimes, coldness flitted across his eyes. He typed quickly on the keyboard and during that time, only God knew how many people's business and lives were doomed.

Tony stood nearby, quietly observing everything around them with his sharp eyes. Occasionally, his eyes would move from Brian to Molly and vice versa. But even until now, he still didn't like her. But since Brian gave her the Firefly Stone necklace, he would regard her as Mrs. Molly Long. From the moment Brian gave her the Firefly Stone necklace, no matter how things would go in the future, Molly would forever be Mrs. Molly Long.

Thinking about this, he kept looking sideways at Molly, who kept on stealing glances at Brian. She was so engrossed that she couldn't help but fix her eyes on him.

No matter where she looked, his face was so perfect that some people might think it was the greatest work of nature. With a pair of eyes that shone like black crystals, attracting people with its charm and

awing them with the unknown danger underneath, his gaze could go as deep as the ocean. When he pressed his thin lip, he looked stern yet alluring. He was so radiant and enchanting while doing his work, Molly couldn't take her eyes off him for a while.

While looking at him, Molly slightly tilted her head and recalled the scene at the dinner table the night before. Back then, Brian had told Mark that they would be leaving for QY Island today. Hearing the news, Mark had pouted, but he had said nothing at the table to explain the matter. The little boy had remained seated, eating sullenly and thinking about being left alone. No matter how unhappy Mark was, Brian hadn't compromised until dinner was over.

After their meal, Molly had helped Lisa with the dishes and sliced some fruit. On the other hand, Brian had put his work aside temporarily and accompanied Mark in doing his homework. When she carried the fruit out into the living room, the little boy was already chatting with Brian cheerfully.

Puzzled, Molly asked, "Mark looked happy after dinner last night. How did you explain to him?" Molly couldn't help asking. Feeling her eagerness, Brian paused to look up at her. When they locked eyes, her heart tightened, and she hated herself for popping that question. Noticing that he was staring at her without saying a word, she forced a remark awkwardly, "Well... I am sorry for interrupting your work."

After saying this, Molly went back to the magazine in her hand and sat up a little, pretending not to notice his stare. She furrowed her brows nervously, secretly blaming herself for creating the awkward situation. She could only blame Brian for making her so nervous.

Looking at her, Brian gave a faint yet genuine smile. He didn't intend to give Molly an answer, so he just kept looking at her. After a while, Molly's cheeks turned burning red with embarrassment. Noticing this, he finally withdrew his gaze and resumed his work.

Matters concerning Grand Night Casino and Emp Stock Exchange had all been taken care of the day before. This instant, he was busy attending to XK Intelligence Agency's affairs. He didn't know what

would happen once they arrived at QY Island, but one thing was for sure, he wouldn't want contingencies to hold him back. Moreover, he didn't want to be occupied by work alone and spend little time with Molly.

After a moment of waiting, a member of the ground crew came towards them.

"Mr. Brian Long, you may now board," said the crew member.

Brian nodded. He made a few more quick taps and then closed his laptop. Tony walked over and took the laptop from his hand. He stood up, took Molly's hand and stepped towards the boarding gate. With envious eyes, the crew member couldn't take her eyes off from the couple.

As they settled in the aircraft, they waited for a while and then the plane rumbled and took off. The weather had been gloomy until today, thick clouds outside the window looking like huge marshmallows. Such a sunny day seemed to have lightened up the moods of all the people on board.

After being in the air for quite some time, the plane finally landed that afternoon. QY Island changed a lot within the past five years. High-rise buildings had sprung up like giants one after another all over the island. With Dragon Empire Group's investment and Brian's help, the island's economy and tourism had developed rapidly.

As they stepped out of the airport, Aaron came to pick up Brian in person. He took a glance at Molly and later softened his stern face as he greeted, "Mr. Brian Long, it has been a while."

"Yes, it has indeed," Brian replied flatly, still holding Molly's hand. "I assume you have gotten everything you want. Am I right?" Aaron remarked. "I believe you and I are somewhat similar, Mr. Brian Long.

We can never rest assured until we hold the things we dear most in our hands, am I right?" added Aaron, with a smirk on his face. It sounded like he was alluding to something. His words made Molly feel uncomfortable.

Noticing this, Brian squeezed her hand. Feeling his sudden grip, she looked at him. His face remained cold and distant, but somehow, this random action from him brought a wave of warmth to her heart.

The two men continued to exchange some more greetings. After doing so, Aaron asked Ken to escort Brian to his place to rest. When Brian last visited, he had stayed in a hotel. This time, he would be staying in a park-style villa which was near Grand Night Casino. Even before, Brian never liked hotels. He enjoyed the feeling of home, even when he was alone. Because of this, he had bought real properties worldwide. Molly once joked about this. She said she no longer needed to worry about becoming poor even if Grand Night Casino and Emp Stock Exchange both went out of business, since the real estates were already an enormous fortune. Hearing this, Brian's face turned dark. He got on top of her and Molly was punished right away.

With a lot area of around 500 square meters, including two gardens, this two-floor villa was much smaller than the one in A City. One fourth, to be exact. At the sight of such extravagant property, Molly frowned at Brian thinking how impulsive he was to buy it for them to stay in for only a couple of days.

"It's a gift from Aaron," Brian suddenly pointed out, seeing how Molly was starting to feel annoyed.

After hearing this, Molly lifted her eyes from her thoughts. Seeing that he was only one step away from her, she took one step back in fluster. Her wary eyes looked at him in disbelief.

Noticing this, Brian shook his head. Her eyes always gave away everything that was in her head. "Go upstairs and freshen up. Then we will go have dinner, okay?" he said.

Molly nodded and went upstairs. He watched her step into the room with a contented smile on his face.

Meanwhile, at Smile Hotel in A City, Shirley was drinking coffee leisurely.

Leaning back on the sofa, she watched Richie correct the students' homework with a cold face.

Richie was working hard. After all, he had to correct the whole class' homework, except Mark's. Since he was here, Shirley was glad to have some 'me' time. She handed every student's homework to him, but kept Mark's to herself. It amused her to see that Richie, who was the former head of Dragon Island, the former president of Dragon Empire Group and the former leader of XK Intelligence Agency, was correcting pre-school kids' homework.

Shirley couldn't help but giggle at this sight. The pile of homework was getting smaller and smaller. It seemed like everything was just a piece of cake in front of this man. "Richie, since Brian and Little Molly are on their honeymoon, why can't we move into the villa and stay with Mark?" she asked sullenly.

However, Richie's focus was on checking the homework, so he didn't respond after even clearly hearing her. "Does Mark know who you are?" he asked after a pause with his head still buried in the homework.
