Sitting down for a glass of water in the large, locally-styled thatched-roof bedroom, Su Yehao glanced out the window. To his surprise, he saw his son trailing behind Nangong Tian, being led away.

In just over two months, the little guy would be three years old.

At this age, the little rascal was already starting to cause trouble. Su Yehao got up and went outside, asking Nangong Tian, "Aren't you going to rest? Where are you taking him?"

"To the restaurant for coconuts. Your son kept clamoring for one. He couldn't take his eyes off the coconut trees, and he even knows that coconut water is sweet."

As soon as Nangong Tian finished speaking, the little guy looked at Su Yehao and pointed at the clusters of huge coconuts on the trees, saying, "Daddy, I want that one!"

"Want my foot! Your mom will beat you later. Drinking too much will give you a stomachache."

Su Yehao was amused and exasperated.

Before, when his son was still a baby, he only knew how to sleep, eat, and sleep again, like an emotionless bed-wetting machine.

But as he got older, he started interacting with people and his speech became more logical.

Nong Qingying, wearing a sun hat, followed leisurely behind. Hearing this, she said crossly, "If you want to hit him, hit him yourself. If he hears that too much, he'll dislike me later. Don't try to make me the bad guy."

Su Yehao said helplessly, "Alright, just give him a little. But don't spoil him. Don't give him everything he wants."

"I know, I know. Do you want to go to the beach later? The sand here is white too. I saw some people playing canoes, paddling to the big island in the middle."

It was Nangong Tian who asked the question.

Bora Bora was quite unique. In the middle was a slightly higher main island, surrounded by a lagoon, with a ring of smaller islands around it. It was like having a natural breakwater, and the seawater was especially clear.

Su Yehao also wanted to go canoeing. After thinking for a few seconds, he replied, "Let's go tomorrow. We're staying for about a week anyway, so there's plenty of time. It was a long trip to get here, and we haven't had a good rest in over ten hours. I'm a little tired."

"Okay, then you can sleep for a while. I'll go get a coconut first. Do you want me to bring you one?"

"Okay..."

The local weather was hot, and he had been sweating on the way over.

Just as Su Yehao finished showering, his aunt found him, smiling and asking:

"Bora Bora is beautiful, isn't it? I've been telling you to come here before, but you're always too busy. If you don't want to stay in this room, you can switch to an overwater bungalow. It's easy to see manta rays and sharks. I saw you posted photos of offshore fishing online. The fish here are stupid and very easy to catch."

"Aunt, you don't have to worry about us. Your wedding is the day after tomorrow, just focus on preparing. This room is fine. No need to change it for us."

"The local wedding process is very simple. Many tourists come here specifically to hold their weddings and honeymoons. Speaking of Miss Jiang and Miss Nong... what are you planning to do in the future?"

He knew what his aunt was asking.

Now, Su Yehao had become philosophical and calmly replied:

"If I have a wedding, I'll be scolded even more. So, I can only maintain the status quo. I've already talked to them privately. I probably won't get married in this lifetime. That way, I don't have to worry. After all, there can only be one legal wife, unless I choose to immigrate to some special regions."

There were quite a few so-called special regions.

For example, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and even Ethiopia and Somalia in Africa, all allow men to marry several wives at the same time.

However, Su Yehao didn't want to give up his nationality for such a small matter.

Given his special circumstances, it would be like throwing away a valuable talisman, which was clearly not worth it.

Besides, even if he did get married, things might not be better than they were now. It might even disrupt the current balance, which would be asking for trouble. Therefore, Su Yehao felt it was better to maintain the status quo and give up the idea of marrying anyone.

His aunt nodded and continued:

"Being with someone you love is the most important thing. If Charlotte hadn't secretly prepared the wedding without my knowledge, I wouldn't have wanted to make such a big deal out of it. You should rest. If you need anything, just tell me. I'll go check on your grandfather... or should I ask your mom to come with me, so I don't get scolded."

"... Don't worry, after all these days, Grandpa should have come to terms with it. But you know better than I do how stubborn the old man is, so it'll be a little difficult to get his heartfelt blessing. The fact that he came all the way here is already a way of admitting defeat to you."

His aunt agreed and nodded with a smile:

"I understand. To be honest, I was surprised that your grandfather came. You and Miss Nangong can have fun. I'll take care of your grandfather. There's a nightclub on the island. I'll drop him off to watch the hula dance, and he'll be happy with a few drinks."

"Hahaha, that would be nice..."

Su Yehao was a little sleepy but wanted to stay awake until evening local time before resting.

Sitting by the window, with the coconut grove outside and the light blue sea in the distance, he picked up a magazine and flipped through it. He was surprised to see an article about whether Tahiti should become independent.

It said that since 2000, France had delegated power to French Polynesia. As long as a referendum was held, it could completely break away from French rule and form its own country.

However, from the article, Su Yehao did not see any desire for independence among the locals. Instead, it listed the many benefits of clinging to the French, such as about $300 million in financial aid per year, and the trade and service industry benefits from the EU through its status as a French territory.

In terms of per capita GDP, the four nearby countries of Fiji, Tonga, Samoa, and Tuvalu combined only had a total of $18,000, while Tahiti's per capita GDP was as high as $20,000. Through the development of tourism and tropical crops, the per capita income was significantly higher than that of its neighbors.

In this case, it was no wonder the locals wanted to continue clinging to the French and living off them. Moreover, the white population here was in the majority, and the natives didn't have much say even if they wanted to break away.

Although it was just for show, France, as one of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, had the power of veto.

Su Yehao was considering whether he should treat everyone equally and buy Jiang Yu and Yin Bili a private island. This kind of thing didn't seem very useful, but it was suitable as a gift, and the price was often not high, making it seem high-end and classy.

Thinking he'd look into it when he had time, but there was no rush for now.

Before he could finish the magazine, Nangong Tian brought over a sliced coconut. The entire outer shell had been peeled off, turning it into a white, tender coconut egg. After drinking the water, he could eat the coconut meat directly.

He had tasted this in Thailand, and you could see it on the streets of Hong Kong.

Su Yehao's son was staring eagerly, probably wanting to drink more, but he was worried about getting hit, his face full of conflict.

Nangong Tian continued to bring coconut eggs to Jiang Yu. Nong Qingying came over to his room, gossiping and asking, "Have you met that Charlotte from England before? She seems very outgoing. Does she get along with your aunt?"

Su Yehao smiled:

"This is also the first time I've met her, but since it's gotten to the point of holding a special wedding, it should be pretty good. This kind of thing is like wearing shoes. Only the wearer knows if they fit..."
