“Xiao Ye, let’s go.” Chi Yaoxi walked over with a smile.
Looking at the dazzling woman standing in the crowd, the smile on Xiao Ye’s face became even more charming and handsome. “Miss Chi, please.” Xiao Ye opened the car door and carefully helped Chi Yaoxi into the car.
Looking at the flashing lights outside the car window, Chi Yaoxi sighed softly. “Why do you like to stand out so much? You even brought me to the forefront.”
“This is nothing.” Xiao Ye smiled as he looked outside. “You’re my partner now. As long as you and I are on the hot searches, our stocks will rise along with the tide. Isn’t it worth it to be in the limelight for the sake of more money in your card?”
“Tsk, promising.” Chi Yaoxi smiled and found a comfortable position to sit on the car seat. Anyway, there was no media following her now, so she was too lazy to be so tired and had to put on an act.
When they reached the dock of the cruise, the car stopped.
Chi Yaoxi, who had been resting with her eyes closed the whole way, opened her eyes and lazily flipped her long hair. She let Xiao Ye help her out of the car.
After boarding the cruise ship, Chi Yaoxi felt the faint salty sea breeze. She hadn’t been to the beach for a long time. Coming out once in a while was quite relaxing.
“Yaoxi, I’ll take you to the balcony. I’ll introduce a colleague to you.” Seeing that Chi Yaoxi was still in a daze, Xiao Ye directly took her hand and brought her to the deck.
The breeze was cool and the moon was bright in the sky. The air outside was really good. From afar, the calm surface of the sea was sparkling. Even further away, it was shrouded in a hazy darkness. It looked mysterious and quiet, a stark contrast to the lively scene on the cruise ship.
Following the direction of Xiao Ye’s finger, Chi Yaoxi saw a lady standing in a corner of the lounge area on the deck. Her long beautiful hair was draped over her shoulders, and she wore a light-colored cloak. Under the hazy moonlight, her figure seemed so familiar.
Xiao Ye let go of Chi Yaoxi’s hand and leisurely stuffed it into his pocket. “You’ll know when you walk over. Your colleague, Ye Ruifang.”
Ye Ruifang??Chi Yaoxi was delighted. She is currently the most popular A-list actress in the country. She had won the Golden Horse Award for Best Female Lead several times and was a big shot in the entertainment industry.
In order to increase the viewership ratings, all the major media outlets were scrambling to invite her to do a program. It was said that her appearance fee was many times higher than other actors.
Although Ye Ruifang was a peer and a senior, she was also the strongest competitor for the Golden Horse Awards this year.
Chi Yaoxi knew in her heart that although Mo Yuzhen from the same production group might also be nominated, in terms of acting skills and ability, she was still far from it.
In Chi Yaoxi’s heart, she had never been jealous. Ye Ruifang, an outstanding and capable senior, was merely a role model for her to learn humbly.
Ye Ruifang, who was watching the night scene on the deck, heard someone call her. She turned around and saw Xiao Ye walking over with a woman. f𝔯ℯe𝓌ℯ𝐛𝒏𝐨ѵel.c𝚘𝐦
Chi Yaoxi smiled politely and took the initiative to greet her. “Hello, Sister Fang!”
Ye Ruifang recognized her and took the initiative to stretch out her hand. She didn’t put on any airs and generously called out, “Chi Yaoxi! President Xiao, you also know our Beauty Yaoxi?”
Xiao Ye shrugged and said with a smile, “More than that. We’re very close.”
Chi Yaoxi hurriedly explained, “Sister Fang, we were university classmates and good friends. We’ve known each other for many years.”
Xiao Ye’s phone rang. He raised his hand and said, “Sorry, you guys continue. I’m going to take this call.” He picked up the call as he walked back.
“Sister Fang, what would you like to drink? Juice? I’ll go get it.” Ye Ruifang smiled and thanked her.
The two of them chatted amicably as the night fell. A cool breeze blew and Ye Ruifang’s scarf fluttered in the wind. She reached out to grab it, but she stumbled and almost fell. Chi Yaoxi quickly reached out and grabbed her arm tightly. Her fingernails accidentally scratched Ye Ruifang’s wrist. The two of them started laughing. Luckily, she didn’t lose anything.
When the little guy called, Chi Yaoxi felt a little awkward and quickly hung up. After all, if others knew that she had such a big son, even if he was not her biological son, it would cause a huge commotion.
Ye Ruifang smiled and patted Chi Yaoxi’s shoulder. “It’s late. Let’s go back. I’ll be leaving soon.”
“Alright, Sister Fang, I’ll go make a call. It’s a little cold at night. You should go back early too.”
Chi Yaoxi entered the luxurious private room of the cabin alone and called the little fellow. She had just spoken for a few minutes, but before she could finish, the room suddenly turned dark. Following that, a commotion could be heard from outside. There were also people shouting about the blackout.
Chi Yaoxi said goodbye to the little fella and said that she would call him when she had time.
Why was there a blackout on the cruise ship? Did something happen??The room was dark, and Chi Yaoxi was a little nervous.?Where was Xiao Ye at this time?
Chi Yaoxi had just turned on the flashlight when she heard a loud knock on the door from outside. It was as if someone was smashing the door. Chi Yaoxi, who was already nervous, became even more worried.?Were there bad people? Were there robbers who wanted to kidnap her?
Chi Yaoxi immediately turned off the light on her phone and curled up on the sofa in horror. Her heart beat faster, and she didn’t dare to move or make a sound. She kept having an ominous feeling.
It was rare for her to attend a banquet, so why did this happen! How unlucky…
“Is there anyone in the room? Come out! Hurry!”
The banging on the door outside came one after another. Chi Yaoxi could hear the sounds of people running back and forth outside. It was noisy shouting, as if someone was holding a microphone to maintain order.
“There’s been an accident. Don’t panic! Come out and line up. Everyone is to be investigated!”
So it wasn’t a robber. Chi Yaoxi’s tense heart relaxed a little.
The lights in the room lit up again. Chi Yaoxi opened the door and went to the deck. She saw that there were already dozens of people standing outside. There were also a few colleagues from the production team. Everyone was whispering and discussing.
“I think someone fell into the water.”
“Oh my god! How can that be? Isn’t this cruise’s security very good?”
“That’s because that person couldn’t be saved. Someone died. Why would there be someone falling into the water at such a time!”
...
Chi Yaoxi vaguely listened to the surrounding people’s discussion and couldn’t help but frown. Those who attended this banquet were either high-ranking officials or famous entrepreneurs, or celebrities with high nationality and fame.
Such a large group of people all had different identities, but their backgrounds were not small. No wonder they were in such a big formation now.
So… who died in the water?
The emergency lights on the cruise ship were all turned on, and the dazzling white light illuminated the entire deck like it was daytime.
“Everyone, come over here! Apart from the crew, hurry and split into two groups of men and women. Move quickly!”
