A young woman in a yellow dress stood quietly on the docks, holding a beautiful paper parasol. A gentle sea breeze stirred the hem of her dress, revealing a pair of fair, smooth calves. She gazed at the distant sea, her face filled with joy, and called out to someone behind her, "Ah Da, look! The sea! Isn't it beautiful!"
Behind the young woman in yellow stood four middle-aged men with deep-set, expressionless eyes. One of them, Ah Da, had a smile on his face, his gaze full of affection as he looked at her.
He walked over and said softly, "Miss, you've been standing here for over two hours. The guards over there have already noticed us. If you were a man, I'm afraid they would have come over to question you long ago."
Huangpu Yue smiled radiantly. "It's not like anyone owns this place. Am I bothering someone just by standing here looking at the sea?"
A wry smile appeared on Ah Da's face. "Miss, the land we're standing on belongs to Viscount Ling Xiao."
