The Tycoon's Enchanted Mermaid-Chapter 115 - : Fishing
Chapter 115: Chapter 115: Fishing
Before going to sleep, Qin Yu received a call from Yao Qingzhi. As expected, Ting Chan had feigned death and was hiding again.
“I am very sorry, Mr. Qin, my master says he is in seclusion and will not handle any affairs for now.”
Qin Yu responded indifferently, “Is that so? Go and tell him that if he does not show up at Wuqiong Water Pavilion tomorrow, Lingcheng Mountain will cease operations for maintenance for an indefinite period.”
As soon as he had spoken, the sound of Ting Chan’s furious roar came through the phone, “Qin family brat, don’t go too far!”
“Try and mess with my Lingcheng Mountain and see, obstructing one’s livelihood, bullying too much, believe it or not, this old Taoist will fight you to the death!”
Qin Yu scoffed and hung up the phone directly.

When Ah Da got up in the morning, the items that had been accumulating in her room had disappeared, and she anxiously ran downstairs to ask Song Ma.
“Miss Ade, don’t worry, the young master had them moved to the storage room, it’s on the third floor in the third room.”
“Oh.” Ah Da scratched her head, her eyes wandering around, not seeing Qin Yu, and assumed he had gone to work.
“Miss Ade, please have some breakfast.”
Ah Da followed Song Ma into the dining room, still wearing her cotton slippers. Just after she sat down, she saw Qin Yu walk in.
He was dressed in a white casual outfit, short-sleeved, with shorts, his hair tousled and slightly damp on his forehead.
The young girl’s eyes widened as if seeing a ghost, and Qin Yu pulled out a chair to sit down, glaring at her.
“What? Don’t want to see me?”
Ah Da didn’t speak, lowered her head to pick up a spoon and started eating her porridge. The crab roe buns were thin-skinned, oozing thick fragrance with a mere poke of the chopsticks, and the plate also contained fried eggs, fruit, and sausages—all tasting quite good.
Qin Yu didn’t take her attitude to heart; he just gave her a deep look and started eating his breakfast with a fork.
Ah Da purposefully ate faster than him, finishing quickly and then running outside with her phone. She didn’t know why Qin Yu hadn’t gone to work, but she wasn’t ready to face him yet.
Last night had been too embarrassing.
Today, she would move to another room. She would move all her clothes and shoes; from now on, she and Qin Yu would stay out of each other’s way.
The house was big enough, after all.

Ah Da ran to the lakeside cabin and leaned on the railing. It wasn’t long before she saw Qin Yu walk in.
He had changed into a light blue casual outfit. His broad shoulders and long legs looked refreshingly cool, although the style was simple and casual, it did not detract from his distinguished aura. His deep black eyes—cool and sharp, were intimidating to look at.
Following him were Song Ma and three servants carrying tools; the group had a commanding presence. Ah Da found it hard to ignore and could only watch as they approached her.
After some fiddling, Ah Da saw Qin Yu pick up a long fishing rod, bait it, and cast it into the lake.
So he had come to fish.
Was he really not going to work today?
Ah Da felt restless. Qin Yu was silent, and Song Ma along with the servants stood behind him orderly, not saying a word. The cabin was so quiet that only the wind could be heard.
After a while, Ah Da couldn’t help but stand up to leave when suddenly the fishing rod trembled. Qin Yu lifted the rod and began reeling in rapidly; soon, splashing sounds came from the water.
Ah Da’s attention was drawn. As the line tightened, the silver belly of a fish began to appear on the surface.
It wasn’t a small fish; it created quite a splash.
Regardless of how the fish struggled, Qin Yu held the rod firmly, unmoving until he lifted the fish into a cooler; Ah Da’s eyes never left the scene.
Qin Yu threw the bait back into the water and dried his hands with a paper towel before finally looking up at the young girl beside him. She had been staring at the cooler, her eyes wide and round filled with curiosity. As soon as she noticed him looking, she quickly averted her gaze.
Wanting to look but afraid to, her attempt to hide it was a bit clumsy.
Qin Yu couldn’t help but chuckle and said to her, “Want to try it?”
Miss Ade’s body suddenly became stiff, and her heart pounded like a scared deer. After wrestling with her feelings, Miss Ade decided not to suppress herself. Her curiosity overwhelmed the awkwardness of her argument with Qin Yu. She turned to look at him, her eyes bright and fixed on the fishing rod in his hands.
“I want to play.”
Her voice was soft and sweet, like a cool spring, and upon achieving his goal, the man’s eyes shimmered like a lake, his smile as gentle as a spring breeze, stunningly handsome, as if dimming the surroundings.
Miss Ade was involuntarily drawn to him; the sunlight slanted across his body, bathing him in light, endlessly handsome to the point of unreal.
Qin Yu, seeing the girl stunned in her spot, couldn’t help but extend his hand, “Come over and give it a try.”
Miss Ade stepped forward as Song Ma efficiently commanded someone to place a chair next to Qin Yu. He gestured with his eyes for her to sit, and casually pushed the fishing rod into her hands.
“Is it heavy?”
Miss Ade held the fishing rod with both hands, her bright eyes staring at the lake surface, complete attention shifted to fishing. Hearing Qin Yu’s question, she just casually shook her head.
Qin Yu observed her ready and determined expression, crossed his long legs, and lazily leaned back to enjoy the view quietly.
Several minutes passed, and the fishing rod remained still.
The girl started to get restless, her eyes frequently glancing towards the fish container. Qin Yu saw through her thoughts and casually spoke, “Since this island was designated, fishing and harvesting in this lake have been prohibited. There are a lot of fish, so don’t rush.”
“Patience is the most important thing in fishing.”
Miss Ade knew he was teaching her, steadied her spirit, and murmured an acknowledgment, continuing to wait quietly.
Several minutes passed, and Song Ma had already been back and forth once to bring some snacks, which included dried fruits and drinks.
Miss Ade placed the fishing rod on the rack and was about to turn around to grab a sweet plum to eat when the rod suddenly jerked.
“Ah?”
Miss Ade grabbed the fishing rod, a strong force pulling her towards the lake. Holding tightly onto the fishing rod, she didn’t realize the strength of the fish until she tried it herself.
Qin Yu suddenly stood behind her, helping her stabilize the rod, then guided her in reeling the line.
“Qin Yu, it seems like the fish has escaped.”
“No, when letting out the line, don’t release too much.”
“Qin Yu, Qin Yu, look quickly, the fish is over there! It’s huge, ah? It seems it has moved over there again!”
“Yes, I see it.”
The girl’s voice was cheerful, sometimes anxious, sometimes excited, each sentence followed by a languid tone from the man. Song Ma, standing behind, watched the two handling the fishing rod together, and couldn’t help but feel affected by their lighthearted mood.
The fish darted around the lake, dodging to and fro until it finally exhausted itself and floated to the surface.
Miss Ade couldn’t close her mouth in awe, carefully pulling the fish back. A servant, already waiting with a net, scooped it up immediately.
The fish were placed into the container, where two fish slapped their tails, splashing water. Miss Ade handed the fishing rod to Qin Yu and ran to squat beside the fish tank, her eyes sparkling like stars.
“This one must be the one I caught.”
Qin Yu looked over and saw her pointing at the largest fish, immediately claiming it.
Miss Ade poked the fish’s head, it was slippery, and she couldn’t help but giggle, turning to look at Qin Yu.
“Are we going to eat them tonight?”
Qin Yu handed the fishing rod to a servant, “You can eat them if you want, but these freshwater fish are bony and generally not very tasty.”
“It’s not tasty?” Miss Ade looked sadly at the fish in the tank, “If it’s not tasty, let’s not eat them then.”
“Do you want to continue fishing?” Qin Yu asked.
Miss Ade stood up, rubbing her hands together with excitement, “Yes.”
Qin Yu told Song Ma, “Get her another fishing rod.”
