Chapter 181 Venus, Was It You Or Not? (2)

Due to Kerry’s interruption, eggs in pot were a little over-cooked. Venus quickly turned off the flame and
took a plate to serve food, "I was idle anyway, so I just drew randomly. Oh, it's all your fault. As you
come over to disturb me, the eggs are a bit burnt."

Kerry secretly bit his teeth and squeezed out a smile, "It's alright. I'll eat them."

"Well, do what you say."

Returning to the sofa with a "hmm", Kerry looked at the design on the paper and pondered.

Yan Chu, were things really the way you said?

Every time he found similar traces between her and Venus, she cleared them up with reasons both
reasonable and normal. Was he being too sensitive? Was he right to link Yan and Venus together?
That's why he thought she's Venus at any hint of similarity.

But what if she's not? What if she was the real Yan Chu? What should he do then?

He got a little closer to her, couldn't help kissing her, and even developed a crush on her. All were on
the premise that he thought she's Venus. But what if it turned out that she's not in the end?

Did Yan not have any awareness of his intimate movements? Or was she pretending not to know...

The more he thought, the more confused he became. Kerry felt that he was caught in a great mystery.
With twilight and dusk ahead of him, he could not see the end.

At that moment, Venus shouted in the kitchen, "Kerry, go take rice into bowls. It’s time to eat."

The fog in front of his eyes suddenly dissipated.



Kerry took a long breath of relief. Just forgot it. Time would eventually give him the answer. What he
should do was to follow his feeling, and he believed that one day he would clear the fog.

Venus wasn’t a very good cook. It was her limit to cook four dished in such a short amount of time.

"The taste is very ordinary. Since it’s you who want to come to dinner, you're not allowed to say it's not
good." Venus gave him chopsticks.

Kerry looked at the dishes, scrambled egg with tomato, stir fried vegetables with mushrooms, shredded
potatoes with green pepper, and...

"What's this?" Kerry asked her, pointing to the plate of dishes so brunt that he could not see the raw
materials

Venus smiled awkwardly, "Oh, I originally wanted to make braised eggplant. But the heat was so high
that it’s what it looks like now. Although it looks bad, the taste is still good. Just try it."

Kerry held his chopsticks and asked, "Are you sure?"

"Pretty sure. You'll know if you try it."

Kerry dubiously put a piece of eggplant into his mouth, without noticing the wry smile on Venus's face.

As soon as the eggplant was placed in his mouth, Kerry’s taste buds protested violently and his whole
face crowded together. Then, he looked around for a trash can.

"Hahahaha-" Venus let out a loud laugh.

Kerry spat the eggplant into the can and rinsed his mouth. He said with his pretty eyebrows furrowing,
"How much salt did you put in it?"



Venus wiped her tears from laughing, "I was going to put one spoonful of salt and two of sugar, but it all
was salt in the end." You had only yourself to blame for asking questions like a detective, which made
she distracted and messed up.

Kerry drank several more gulps of water before that salty taste in his mouth faded away.

Finally, she managed to stop laughing, and dumped that dish into the bin.

Sitting on a chair and seeing that he didn't dare to move his chopsticks, Venus gave him a piece of
egg, "I guarantee that the tastes of the other dishes are normal."

Kerry hesitated for a moment, and took a bite. Huh, not bad.

"I'm not lying. I've learned it at least." Venus said smilingly.

Kerry nodded, "Although it doesn’t look good, it tastes nice."

As the two of them ate and chatted, Venus took a glance at him and asked, "Did you have any dreams
when you were little?"

Kerry raised his eyebrows and thought for a moment, and then his eyes darkened a bit, "My childhood
dream was that my parents wouldn't fight."

Venus was stunned for a moment, "Did your mom and dad used to have a bad relationship?"

"No, they rarely talked to each other even at home." Kerry paused and asked back, "What about you?
What were your dreams as a child?"

"I, hahaha. Don't laugh when I say it."

"I won’t. Just tell me."



Venus put down her chopsticks and said with shining eyes, "When I was a kid, I especially wanted to
grow up to be a pirate so I could go to the whole world to look for treasures. If I found them, I’d buy lots
of food and fun things. And I’d go out to look for more again if I ran out of them. I wouldn’t have to work
every day, and I thought adult’s jobs were so boring."

Kerry said with a smile, "This dream of yours is quite funny, but I'm afraid it won't come true because
your small body would only make you be hijacked by other pirates. You are too weak to be a pirate."

Venus was unconvinced, "Who said that? Look at the Pirates of the Caribbean made by Hollywood.
The heroine in each one was able to fight and beautiful. What’s more, they really found treasures. I
think of my dream every time I watch this series of movies."

Thinking that she was still childlike, Kerry teased her, "Then you can give up your job and try your luck
in the Caribbean. That place is still full of pirates. Maybe they'll accept you."

Venus sighed grudgingly and started to eat, "fine, I have self-knowledge. But I might be able to look for
treasures. Do you know where there is treasure? I'm going to try my luck."

Venus's afterglow was keen enough to catch his chopstick pause and then continue to move, "There’s
no treasure at all? If there were any, they would have been dug up long ago. But do you know where
some of it is still hidden?"

Venus's heartbeat accelerated. With a faint surprise on her face, she asked, "Where, where?"

Kerry pointed his index finger down, "In the tombs of the emperors of the past dynasties. If you want to
find it, you can go and rob the tomb."

Venus was disappointed, "That's illegal, and I’m not going. Besides, I don't have the guts."

"Ha, you have self-awareness." Kerry teased.



Venus laughed without answer.

After finishing the meal, Venus was afraid that he would do something excessive so she urged him to
leave.

"Are you full? If so, it’s time to leave." Venus said straightforwardly.

Kerry laughed bitterly. How afraid was she of his approach? "Okay, I'm leaving. Thank you for your
hospitality."

Venus pulled the door open, a wave of heat immediately surged in outside. Venus watched him go out
and leaned against the door frame, "You're welcome. You've invited me so many times. I should return
to you."

Kerry gazed at her with deep eyes and said warmly, "Then... See you."

Venus shook her hand, "See you."

When he turned around, Venus closed the door. Just looking at Kerry’s reaction, Venus believed he
knew the whereabouts of the treasure, but he didn't trust himself, so he wouldn't tell her.

Now that she's sure, then Venus has a bottom in her heart. She's afraid that she tried for a while, but
Kerry didn't know about the treasure at all. That would be tragic.

At Ye family’s villa.

After getting out of the car, Kerry went straight into the study.

Kerry reached out to take out the book placed at the top of the shelf and pressed there. Then, on the
left side of the study, the voice of creak came in the back of a pair of landscape painting.



When Kerry pulled away the painting, a small wooden box was pushed out. Kerry pressed his thumb
on the top of the wooden box, and the wooden box opened gently with a click.

Inside quietly laid an old parchment roll. When looking at it, you could have a sense of history.

Unfolded, the two-palm-sized parchment was densely packed with routes that eventually led to a spot
where was on the edge of the brunt mark.

Yes, it was an incomplete treasure map, handed to him by his father on his deathbed.

Although he had wanted to go over there and find this treasure when he was younger, in the end he
had given up.

He didn't want to spend his life searching for this huge treasure like his parents did, and they ended up
getting killed accidentally. It was not worth it. He preferred to create a kingdom of his own with his own
hands, and he had done it. Now, wealth was just a number to him, and what could he do with more
money when he had nothing to worry about? It was nothing more than a higher quality of life, which
was not what he was after.

Compared to a huge treasure, he was now more eager to find Venus and be with her and the child.

Just whether Yan Chu was intentional or unintentional when she mentioned the matter of the treasure
tonight?

And how did she learn about it? This was a very secret matter. Not many people in this world knew,
otherwise people would fight to get it.

But with her background, she didn't need this fortune. Or was she too greedy?

Things seemed to be getting more and more complicated..
