759: Chapter 754 Youyou's Own Choice

It was the wedding gift from Prince Talal of the Middle East.

The island was picturesque, with coconut groves, shadows of trees, clear water, and white sand.

Shen Yan named it "Youran Island," taking the names of his daughter and wife.

Here, there was no work, no socializing.

Only the purest companionship of the family.

Shen Yan accompanied Youyou in building sandcastles on the beach, changed Shen An's diapers, and watched the sunrise and sunset with Liu Hui.

He enjoyed this rare peace.

Until the system's voice rang out once again.

This time, it was in unprecedented golden font.

[Advanced Intelligence Triggered]

[Intelligence Content: Centered on Youran Island, within a fifty-kilometer radius of the 'Snake Tooth Archipelago' seabed, there exists an ultra-giant unexplored lithium ore belt. Preliminary estimated reserves account for 22% of the world's known lithium reserves. This ore belt will be accidentally discovered by a U.S. geological survey satellite in seventy-two hours.]

Shen Yan held Shen An, standing on the beach, looking at the scattered uninhabited islands in the distance.

Snake Tooth Archipelago.

His pupils contracted slightly.

Lithium is the blood of future energy.

It is the lifeblood of batteries, electric vehicles, and all high-tech industries.

Whoever masters lithium masters the right to speak on energy in the next era.

He didn't hesitate for a moment.

He walked to Liu Hui, who was picking up shells with Youyou, and hugged her from behind.

"Huihui, I'm planning to buy all those nearby islands."

Liu Hui turned back, somewhat surprised.

"What are you buying them for?"

Shen Yan pointed into the distance, his tone gentle.

"I want to establish the world's largest private nature reserve for you all here."

"In the future, every fish, every seabird, and every piece of coral here will belong to Youyou and Shen An."

"I hope our children can grow up in the purest and most natural environment."

Liu Hui's eyes instantly turned red.

What else could she say?

This man was always expressing his love for this family in the most extreme ways.

She stood on her tiptoes and kissed him.

Meanwhile, in the gaps between kisses, Shen Yan quietly pressed a button on his smart watch.

An encrypted command was instantly sent to Chen Guangke in Jingzhou.

The content of the command was just one sentence.

"Utilize Tiangong Technology's highest authority funds to complete the acquisition of all islands in the Indian Ocean's Snake Tooth Archipelago within seventy hours, at any cost."

The moment Chen Guangke received the command, he was completely stunned.

He didn't know why the boss suddenly wanted to buy a bunch of uninhabited, desolate islands.

But he still executed it without hesitation.

Three days later.

When NASA announced that their satellite had discovered a massive lithium ore belt in the Indian Ocean capable of changing the world's energy landscape, the global capital markets went into a frenzy.

Countless nations and financial groups flooded toward that sea area like crazy.

Then, they were shocked to find out.

That archipelago, hiding endless wealth, had been entirely acquired overnight by a mysterious company registered in the Cayman Islands called "Y&R Asset Management."

And the sole shareholder of this company was named Shen Yan.

The dusk at "Youran Island" was as beautiful as an oil painting.

Shen Yan sat in a rocking chair on the terrace, watching Liu Hui hold Shen An while Youyou lay by her legs, listening to her tell fairy tales.

The afterglow of the sunset cast a warm golden border around their family.

He suddenly felt incredibly at peace.

He gently stroked the wedding ring on his ring finger.

He thought that having them was the greatest and only wealth of his life.

They were his whole world.

And his inexhaustible source of good luck.

The honeymoon on Youran Island came to a close amidst sea breezes and laughter.

On the last dusk, Shen Yan's family sat on the beach, watching the setting sun dye the sky into a brilliant oil painting.

"Daddy, are we going home tomorrow?"

Youyou leaned against Shen Yan's leg, her little face filled with reluctance.

"Yes, Youyou is going to start elementary school."

Shen Yan ruffled his daughter's hair.

"To become a truly little explorer."

Liu Hui held the dozing Shen An in her arms and leaned against Shen Yan's shoulder, her voice gentle.

"My maternity leave is almost over too."

"I should go back and oversee the preparations for the new company."

Shen Yan turned his head to look at her.

In Liu Hui's eyes, there was no laziness of being content with the status quo, but rather a light of eagerness.

She was never the kind of woman who would give up her career for her family.

This was exactly what Shen Yan admired most about her.

"Okay, let's go home."

The next day, "teng long no. 1" headed back.

When the familiar outline of Jingzhou appeared outside the porthole, Youyou excitedly pointed down.

"Auntie! I see Auntie's car!"

Outside the villa, Shen Ya was dressed in a sleek professional suit, leaning against a fiery red Porsche, her long hair fluttering, looking both beautiful and cool.

Seeing Shen Yan's family descend, she immediately went up to meet them, first carefully yet skillfully taking Shen An from Liu Hui's arms.

"Oh, my dear nephew, your auntie missed you so much."

She teased Shen An and then picked up Youyou, who had pounced over, and spun her around.

"Youyou, Auntie has finished all the enrollment procedures for you."

"Jingzhou Kevin International Academy, report on time next Monday."

Liu Hui was a bit curious, "It's decided so quickly?"

Shen Ya explained with a smile, "Youyou chose it herself."

"I gave her materials from over a dozen schools to look at, and she fell in love with Kevin's 'Global Explorer' interest class at first sight, and wouldn't let go of the brochure."

"She said the tropical rainforests and active volcanoes in it are even cooler than cartoons."

Shen Yan smiled.

He never interfered with his daughter's choices; he only smoothed the path for them.

The family returned to the country, and life seemed to switch from the dreamlike honeymoon back to the familiar daily channel.

Liu Hui began to get busy with her newly founded maternal and child brand "Chu Hui," while Shen Ya took charge of Tiangong Technology's Branch Company with efficiency and vigor.

Youyou carried her little schoolbag and joyfully began her elementary school life.

After enjoying a few days of leisure accompanying his wife and children, Shen Yan also returned to the headquarters building of Tiangong Technology.

The chairman's office on the top floor.

Chen Guangke and Wu Ya were already waiting there.

"Boss, this is the latest progress report on the 'pangu' AI project."

Wu Ya handed over a document; her words were always so precise and professional.

"GeneWeave's 'Spiral Adaptive Gene Sequencing Algorithm' has been preliminarily connected to pangu's life science module, and the first simulation deduction will take place next week."

Chen Guangke held a tablet, swiping through the data on it.

"Also, for the 'prometheus forge,' the Sahara One Matrix has been connected to the grid for power generation, and the energy output is stable."

"The European side has placed an order of thirty billion euros, wanting us to build another one in the Mediterranean."
