Chapter 512 Catch the sea
In the sun-drenched new house, Shen Yan sat comfortably in a chair. Her outfit was simple yet stylish: a light brown Chanel-style jacket paired with casual jeans, striking a perfect balance between sophistication and relaxation. Her long, black hair cascaded down naturally, highlighting her fair complexion. A gentle smile played in her eyes, and her deep dimples made her as radiant and captivating as a flower blooming in spring.

"Let's take this one. I like the natural light here..."

In the simply decorated living room, soft colors and play of light and shadow create a warm and inviting atmosphere. She gently stroked the chair, her gaze tender and loving, clearly enamored with her stylish new home.

Every corner was planned out in her mind, and this space would henceforth hold her precious moments.

"Hehe, okay, then this will be our love nest from now on." Gao Dongxu smiled and walked behind her, placing his hands on her shoulders and gently massaging them as he spoke.

Shen Yan smiled sweetly and teased, "I hope it really is a love nest, just like you said, and not a hotel."

Gao Dongxu chuckled, reached out and pulled up Shen Yan, whose face was beaming with smiles, revealing dimples and cute little tiger teeth. Their eyes met, and he said softly, "I'm already captivated by your beauty, and I wish I could live under your roof forever..."

Upon hearing Gao Dongxu's unusual sweet talk, Shen Yan immediately blushed and playfully scolded, "You rascal—"

"Hahaha... Baby, let's go to the bedroom and test the quality of the mattress. If it's uncomfortable, we'll change it right away—" Gao Dongxu bent down and, amidst Shen Yan's giggling exclamations, picked her up in a princess carry, saying this with a perfectly legitimate reason as they walked towards the bedroom.

With a flushed face and alluring eyes, Shen Yan smiled shyly and playfully punched Gao Dongxu a few times, her voice trembling as she said coquettishly, "Why are you never going to stop..."

"I don't want to waste even a single minute with you..."

"Yawn—um—"

The warm winter sun shone softly through the sheer curtains, gently illuminating Shen Yan as he stretched after waking from a nap.

The lingering sweetness of two hours ago seemed to still fill the air. She lazily sat up in bed, her long, black hair cascading down like a waterfall, a few strands playfully brushing against her flushed cheeks.

Her once youthful face now possessed a unique charm. Her eyes were slightly unfocused, as if still immersed in the tenderness of the past, yet also revealing a coquettish and alluring quality, like a rose that had just been nourished by the rain, delicate and vibrant.

She gently raised her arm, her skin gleaming delicately in the sunlight. The unintentional gesture no longer conveyed the innocent shyness of a young girl, but rather the allure and charm of a woman. Every subtle movement seemed to tell a story of transformation from girlhood to womanhood, breathtakingly beautiful, captivating the eye.

"...Good that they've been found. Keep a close eye on them..."

Shen Yan frowned slightly. Hearing Gao Dongxu's voice in the living room, she reached for the black tight-fitting undershirt and underwear, put them on under the covers, got out of bed, and dressed herself. Then, she tied up her loose hair and walked out of the bedroom.

"I can't go there for now. Be careful not to alert him. That policeman is very cunning. He's been able to operate internationally for so many years for a reason..."

In the living room, Gao Dongxu was instructing Leng Feng, who had already found an expert in authentication, COCO, in Paris and was keeping an eye on her.

"Don't do anything unnecessary, just keep an eye on COCO. I'll finish up my business back home as soon as possible and head over to meet you. Okay, take care of yourself..."

"What kind of phone call is this? You keep saying 'don't alert them,' and 'you're not just a name without substance,' but who exactly are you?"

Seeing Gao Dongxu hang up the phone, Shen Yan's originally rosy face showed a worried expression, and she asked in a trembling voice with her eyebrows furrowed.

Hearing Shen Yan's voice behind him, Gao Dongxu turned around and saw her tense and suspicious expression. He couldn't help but chuckle and stepped forward, saying, "You're awake."

"Don't interrupt me. You're always telling me to keep an eye on people and be careful. What exactly do you do?" Shen Yanmei looked at Gao Dongxu with wariness and suspicion in her eyes, and subconsciously took a step back to avoid Gao Dongxu's embrace.

Seeing Shen Yan's nervous expression, Gao Dongxu explained with a wry smile, "Relax, let me explain. I'm an antique dealer, you haven't forgotten, have you?"

Shen Yan frowned, looked at Gao Dongxu, nodded, and then said, "Continue—"

Gao Dongxu, both amused and exasperated, stepped forward, put his arm around her shoulder, and sat down on the sofa under Shen Yan's frowning gaze. He continued, "Do you know about the twelve bronze animal heads from the Yuanmingyuan?"

"Yes, it caused quite a stir recently because of the overseas auction," Shen Yan said, nodding with a frown.

"Currently, on the international black market, someone has offered a reward of one million euros for a bronze head. I received information from the authorities that an international thief named JC stole a zodiac bronze head from a count's house in Paris, but due to unforeseen circumstances, it was temporarily seized by French customs."

"French customs will hand over the bronze head to that international thief in a few days, so I sent people over to try and snatch the zodiac animal heads from him..." Shen Yan's beautiful eyes widened, and she covered her mouth, agape in shock, as she looked at Gao Dongxu, her voice trembling with utter astonishment, "You, you dare send people to Paris to steal the animal heads, and from an international thief no less? You, I..."

Seeing that Shen Yan was a little frightened, Gao Dongxu quickly pulled her into his arms, gently patted her back, and said softly, "Relax, relax, don't be so nervous, and don't make a fuss. The twelve zodiac animal heads were originally stolen by the Eight-Nation Alliance back then. International thieves stole them to sell to black market merchants for a high-priced auction. You've seen the news. These foreign devils are deliberately trying to disgust our Celestial Empire and make us Chinese pay a high price to buy them back."

Their intentions are extremely sinister and shameless. Since that's the case, why can't I send someone to take it back?
Besides, it wasn't just me who sent people to Paris; relevant departments also sent people...

Shen Yan was even more shocked. Her almond-shaped eyes widened as she looked at Gao Dongxu, not knowing what to say.

"You're incredibly bold... Tell me the truth, who exactly are you...?"

As a naive and innocent girl born and raised in the peaceful environment of China, Shen Yan had never been exposed to such exciting and sensational things. She had only known Gao Dongxu for less than three days, and her understanding of him was entirely based on his own words without any verification.

Gao Dongxu said, half-laughing and half-crying, "Didn't you already see my ID card...?"

"Stop grinning like that. I'm serious. Don't hide anything from me. Tell me, who exactly are you?"

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you..." Gao Dongxu shook his head and chuckled, looking at Shen Yan, whose eyebrows were furrowed and whose expression was serious, and said, "I, Gao Dongxu, was born in 80. I am 30 years old this year. I graduated from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Imperial College London. More than two years ago, I was in a car accident and my parents died. I survived by sheer luck and inherited an advertising company and a law firm from my parents. I made a fortune of hundreds of millions by reselling antiques."

My only relatives are my uncle's family. My uncle is...

Upon hearing Gao Dongxu's detailed introduction and his uncle's introduction, Shen Yan was completely stunned. Her eyes almost popped out of their sockets, and she tightly covered her mouth with her delicate hand.

"Thump—" Shen Yan's heart pounded like a drum, the turmoil in his heart lingering. He stared intently at Gao Dongxu, swallowed hard, and stammered, his voice trembling, "This is the official relative you were talking about? No wonder everyone in the club calls you Young Master Gao, no wonder you look down on the Four Young Masters of Beijing... So, you're the real big shot!"

"Hehe, no matter how great I am, I still fall at your feet, don't I?" Gao Dongxu laughed and reached out to pinch Shen Yan's delicate chin, who was now blushing with shock and excitement, teasing him.

Shen Yan glanced at him with a charmingly shy and sweet look in her eyes, and said softly and coquettishly, "You're so annoying~~~"

"Hahaha..." Gao Dongxu laughed and pulled her into his arms. This time, Shen Yan opened her arms and hugged his strong waist tightly, pressing herself against his chest.

"Are you relieved now?"

"Hmph, I still need to investigate this properly," Shen Yan nestled in his arms, whimpering sweetly.

"Haha, okay, then you can investigate at your leisure..." Gao Dongxu chuckled, gently patting her back and kissing her hair. He said softly, "I have something to tell you. I won't be able to accompany you tomorrow. I have to fly to Hainan..."

"Ah?!" Shen Yan immediately looked up, his eyes filled with reluctance.

The next morning, Gao Dongxu left quietly, without waking Shen Yan, who had been extremely gentle and tolerant of him the day before, knowing that he was going on a business trip, and who had finally fallen into a deep sleep due to the overwhelming burden.

There was no other way; while he was flying to Hainan and approaching the underwater tomb in the Xisha Islands, he also had to rush to perform rituals to bring rain and ensure a bountiful harvest.

This morning, Tianyou, who had made a powerful comeback to the music scene after sleeping in late, was caught off guard. He forcefully started the show with a duet between a couple, all lovey-dovey.

At midday, he was captivated by Michelle's beauty and boldness, which made him feel refreshed and unable to extricate himself.

In the evening, I had dinner with Ma Lili. After the meal, the two of them, with perfect understanding, immediately entered the elegant world of ballet. With light touches on their toes, they twirled and leaped, and various difficult dance techniques flowed naturally from their performance.

Once his spiritual energy had replenished his kidneys and heart, he went to the home of the mature and elegant Lingyi late at night. After a long separation, the beautiful and charming Lingyi, with her hair neatly tied back in a ponytail, greeted him with a beaming smile and joy.

The following morning, he personally went to the airport to pick up Shang Youyou, who was dressed in a sexy and alluring flight attendant uniform. They couldn't wait to get home and start their own costume show together.

The following morning, as Gao Dongxu boarded the plane to Hainan with Erpang, Fugui, and Fusheng, he lay in his first-class seat, watching the heavily made-up, mature-looking flight attendant who was introducing the details of the flight to him in a charming and coquettish voice. After days of flying, he was starting to feel a bit tired of her.
