Chapter 27

Soon after, the car started moving.

Su Wan'er, unbothered, chatted with Xu Jianxing, "By the way, brother-in-law, it's been so long, haven't you thought about what you want to do yet?"

"What's the rush? We still have money to spend, let's play for a while longer before we decide," Xu Jianxing said with a carefree laugh. He had no mood for work right now, and besides, working didn't earn as much as fishing, and it was also very restrictive. Given his situation, there was no possibility of him working. Unless someone offered him an irresistible annual salary, but even then, it would only last one or two years. However, he knew that no one in this world would offer such a salary.

"You, so lazy, Sister has asked you many times," Su Wan'er said helplessly.

"Next time she asks, just tell her it's none of her business. She has enough to worry about with the company," Xu Jianxing said casually.

As these words left Xu Jianxing's mouth, Zhang Fan, who was driving, frowned again. From the previous sentence, he had already heard that the young man in the back had no job and was just a lazy good-for-nothing. Now, these words placed Xu Jianxing in the category of a second-generation rich kid, or even someone who lived off women. This made the little bit of goodwill he had felt towards Xu Jianxing instantly turn to disgust and contempt.

However, at this point, he still hadn't realized that the "sister" they were talking about was Lu Qian. After all, he was quite familiar with Lu Qian's situation.

In the midst of their idle chatter, the car soon arrived at a port.

Getting out of the car, Xu Jianxing looked at the large and small private yachts not far away and the blue sea and sky, feeling a bit refreshed.

Led by Su Wan'er, Xu Jianxing followed a clean water path towards the front.

At the same time, Su Wan'er explained, "Brother-in-law, Sister's yacht is called Dragonfly. The 'dragon' in the name comes from the first half of Sister's name, 'Qian,' and the 'fly' comes from the name of Sister's daughter, Lu Tingting. The Dragonfly is 28 meters long and nearly 7 meters wide. It has two decks, with four guest cabins on the lower deck, including two master cabins. The entire yacht cost 50 million, and the annual maintenance costs exceed 6 million. Just thinking about this number is terrifying."

"It is quite terrifying," Xu Jianxing smiled slightly.

Seeing his calm expression, Su Wan'er was a bit stunned because she didn't see even a hint of shock or surprise in Xu Jianxing's eyes. This made Su Wan'er think, "It seems Brother-in-law is a bit mysterious."

In fact, she didn't know that after obtaining the ring, Xu Jianxing had become indifferent to money in this world, and his goals had changed completely. If anything, Xu Jianxing's net worth was far less than hers.

Zhang Fan, who was a bit behind them, was thoroughly shocked. From Su Wan'er's first words, he had already sensed a different meaning. Since Su Wan'er called Xu Jianxing "brother-in-law" and said it was her sister's yacht, that meant this young man was President Lu's husband?

Could Zhang Fan not be shocked? In his eyes, Lu Qian was a goddess high above. Although he didn't love her, he admired her to a great extent. He couldn't understand how President Lu could have chosen this young man. He felt he was much better than this young man, both in terms of demeanor and security.

"What kind of world is this? Are young men like him really so popular?" Zhang Fan lamented in his heart. Now, he not only despised and hated Xu Jianxing to the core but also envied him to the extreme. He was certain that this man lived off women's money.

Soon, the three of them arrived near a large white yacht.

As soon as they stopped, Lu Qian came out with two people, a man and a woman, who were her bodyguards. The man, Li Xingjun, had a crew cut, wore black, and was muscular but not tall, giving off a powerful presence. His eyes were sharp, scrutinizing Xu Jianxing.

The woman, Feng Lina, was petite and delicate, with a pointed chin, small eyes, an average build, and a wheat-colored complexion, making her look very comfortable.

As soon as Lu Qian stepped off the yacht, she smiled at Xu Jianxing and said, "You're here."

The gentle tone made Li Xingjun frown slightly. He had never seen the powerful President Lu be so gentle to anyone. This made Li Xingjun scrutinize Xu Jianxing again, wishing he could see through him to understand what charm or background he had that made President Lu treat him this way.

At the same time, Xu Jianxing smiled and said, "Yes, when are we leaving?"

"Right now," Lu Qian smiled sweetly at Xu Jianxing, then her expression turned serious as she said to Li Xingjun and Zhao Fan, "Alright, you two can go back. I'll be fine with Lina here."

"Okay, President Lu," Li Xingjun and Zhao Fan nodded, though they were a bit reluctant, they didn't show it in front of their employer and turned to leave.

When they had walked a certain distance, Li Xingjun spoke first, "Xiao Fan, who is that man?"

Zhao Fan laughed bitterly and said, "Class leader, I don't know the specifics, but... but..."

"But what? Just say it," Li Xingjun frowned slightly.

"Ah," Zhao Fan sighed, then said, "Class leader, based on what I overheard on the way, that man is probably President Lu's kept man or lover!"

"What?" Li Xingjun's eyes nearly bulged out. He immediately asked, "Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"

Zhao Fan said solemnly, "I swear on my party membership that I didn't hear wrong. Also, class leader, you should have noticed something from President Lu's behavior just now."

Hearing this, Li Xingjun's face turned so dark it seemed about to drip water. He walked briskly, his fingers cracking as he clenched his fists. Although he wasn't sure if what Zhao Fan said was true, he trusted his brother. Moreover, President Lu's look at that young man was indeed different.

In his eyes, Lu Qian was a goddess. Since this had happened, it must be that the young man had used some means to seduce or bewitch President Lu. At this moment, Li Xingjun was extremely displeased with Xu Jianxing.

At the same time,

The "Dragonfly" had set sail, heading steadily towards the vast sea. Xu Jianxing stood at the bow, unmoving, enjoying the gentle breeze and the boundless sea, feeling refreshed.

Not far behind Xu Jianxing, Lu Qian and Su Wan'er were sitting on lounge chairs, sipping drinks and chatting.

After a while, Su Wan'er said with a smile, "Sister, why don't you change into a swimsuit and enjoy the sun?"

"No," Lu Qian's cheeks turned slightly red as she refused without hesitation.

"What's the problem? There's no one else here," Su Wan'er glanced at Xu Jianxing and teased.

Before Lu Qian could respond, Xu Jianxing suddenly turned around and said seriously, "Su Wan'er is right. There's no one else here. Since you're here, you should enjoy the sun. Also, I think nude sunbathing would be even more comfortable. I can help you apply sunscreen, and I won't charge. In fact, I'll even give you a little extra."

"Go to hell," Lu Qian and Su Wan'er both threw their straws at him in a fit of pique.

Feng Lina, sitting not far from them, wanted to laugh but didn't dare, her face turning red. Although she had noticed the close relationship between Xu Jianxing and Lu Qian, she hadn't thought much of it, assuming he was just a friend of her employer. Now, she found this man a bit shameless but also a bit cute. The only downside was his too-pale skin, which didn't make him look like a real man.

"Fine, if you don't want to, that's fine."

At the same time, Xu Jianxing shrugged and then looked at Feng Lina, grinning, "Lina, you look so happy. Are you interested? I really won't charge."

"No, no," Feng Lina shook her head, her face turning red, her eyes wandering. She had never been teased so openly.

Lu Qian scolded him, "You jerk, Lina is innocent, don't tease her."

"Alright then," Xu Jianxing shrugged and asked, "By the way, how far are we going into the sea?"

"About seven or eight miles, I'm worried it might not be safe if we go too far."

"Alright," Xu Jianxing smiled, "Where are the fishing gear and harpoons? Let's get them out, I want to go fishing."

"Okay, I'll show you," Lu Qian stood up and led Xu Jianxing into the cabin. A moment later, they came out with different fishing gear. Xu Jianxing chose a large sea fishing hook, designed for catching big fish.

Seeing nothing to do, Xu Jianxing lay on a lounge chair and closed his eyes to rest.

About half an hour later,

Lu Qian woke Xu Jianxing up.

Seeing the yacht had stopped, Xu Jianxing was about to set up his fishing rod when Su Wan'er stopped him, saying smugly, "Brother-in-law, you haven't forgotten about the bet we talked about before we left, right?"

"Uh," Xu Jianxing was a bit surprised, then laughed, "I was just joking, can't you tell?"

"Hmph," Su Wan'er huffed, "I didn't think you were joking. If you're a man, you should keep your word."

"Ha ha," Xu Jianxing laughed and shook his head. He didn't really care about Su Wan'er's low-level provocation, but since it was a sure win, he might as well play along.

"Alright, I'll play with you," Xu Jianxing yawned lazily.

"That's more like it, a man's word is his bond," Su Wan'er's eyes flashed with a strange light, "Alright, wait a moment, I'll go prepare."

"Sure, sure, do as you like," Xu Jianxing waved his hand indifferently.

When Su Wan'er entered the cabin, Lu Qian asked curiously, "What bet did you make before you came?"

"Fishing, do you want to play?" Xu Jianxing grinned.
