Yun Suiwan became increasingly worried. If Lin Zhibai wanted to embarrass Yun Wanqing, he would definitely tell Lu Dongjue as a joke.

The more he tries to hide it, the more it shows he has a different plan.

But Gu Fanyan will be there tonight too.

She misled us!

She had to stop Gu Fanyan!

"What time does the party start?" she asked hurriedly.

“One more hour,” Lu Dongjue replied, “the ladder will be retracted then, and the cruise ship will sail out to sea.”

That means once someone boards the ship, they can't get off.

We need to stop Gu Fanyan even faster!

“I’m calling Gu Fanyan,” she instructed Lu Dongjue. “You call the Gu family’s butler and tell him not to let Gu Fanyan board the ship.”

Both of them called, but no one answered.

Later, Lu Dongjue got through on the phone, but the butler told him that the young lady had gone out at noon and hadn't said when she would be back.

Lu Dongjue called Shen Xinghui again.

Shen Xinghui was responsible for contacting VIPs for the party organizers, so she boarded the ship early in the morning.

“Sister Fanyan arrived on the cruise ship 10 minutes ago,” Shen Xing replied.

Yun Suiwan frowned anxiously. "Shen Xinghui, find a way to persuade her to come down. I'll be right there."

Lu Dongjue drove the car onto the highway and accelerated to full speed.

On the way, he asked Yun Suiwan, "Are you in such a hurry because you don't want Gu Fanyan to get hurt, or because you don't want her and Lin Zhibai to break up?"

“It’s nothing.” She instinctively rejected all his ideas.

“Oh,” Lu Dongjue said, looking like he understood. “So you’re afraid Gu Fanyan will pester me.”

"Young Master Lu really knows how to pat himself on the back," Yun Suiwan scoffed without any politeness.

If that video in Yun Wanqing's hands were really released, wouldn't Lu Shao be the one who would be ridiculed the most?

He acted like nothing had happened!

“I’m not worried at all,” Lu Dongjue shrugged. “Anyway, I won’t marry any woman other than Yun Suiwan.”

Yun Suiwan was speechless. "If confessions are too easy to say, they become unbelievable."

On the surface, she seemed nonchalant and indifferent.

Only she knew the warmth that flowed through her heart.

When the two arrived at the pier, they found the cruise ship already packed with guests and bustling with activity.

Yun Suiwan called Gu Fanyan, but she still didn't answer.

She had no choice but to board the boat to look for it.

Finally, she found Gu Fanyan among a group of women.

"Come with me." Without saying another word, she grabbed Gu Fanyan and left.

However, before even leaving the cabin, they heard the sound of the ship's horn.

The cruise ship has already set sail.

"What's wrong?" Gu Fanyan asked.

"Nothing much," Yun Suiwan forced a smile. "I had something urgent that I wanted to ask you for help with, but I'll have to wait until the party is over before we can talk about it."

Gu Fanyan glanced behind Yun Suiwan.

Lu Dongjue also arrived.

Not far away, several people cast surprised glances in their direction.

It's quite surprising that Lu Dongjue is with his ex-girlfriend and current fiancée.

They've already imagined several thousand words of short essays.

"You two chat, I'm going to get something to eat." Yun Suiwan turned and left.

Just as she reached the dining area and picked up her plate, Lu Dongjue came to her side.

"Don't come with me, go take care of your fiancée," Yun Suiwan said softly. "We don't know what will happen tonight, I'm afraid she'll have a breakdown on the spot."

"You're kicking me out?" Lu Dongjue raised an eyebrow.

"You should have been by your fiancée's side anyway," Yun Suiwan said, curling her lip.

Lu Dongjue suddenly grabbed Yun Suiwan's hand, "I can announce to everyone now who my real fiancée is."

His voice was a bit high-pitched, which attracted many surprised glances.

Yun Suiwan quickly broke free from his hand.

When he goes berserk, he can be deadly.

“If Gu Fanyan really loses her composure, you will also be the subject of gossip,” Yun Suiwan had no choice but to tell the truth. “Your relationship with her is still unclear. If you continue to act so recklessly, you will not only hurt yourself, but also hurt me.”

"So, you should go to her side quickly."

"Then promise me you won't get angry," Lu Dongjue said.

"Don't be angry."

“Don’t bring up my past mistakes from tonight,” Lu Dongjue continued.

"Don't flip it."

"If we argue in the future, you can't say that I was the one who initiated it today."

"Who's arguing with you, Lu Dongjue? Aren't you annoying?!"

Before taking a step, he leaned close to her ear and said, "I'm glad you care about my reputation. I won't let anyone hurt you."

He's really...annoying, yet also kind of...cute.

The ball has begun.

A large central area was left empty in the spacious cabin, and as the music started, pairs of handsome men and beautiful women came down to perform.

Of course, this excludes Lin Zhibai and Yun Wanqing.

Yun Wanqing rubbed her eyes before she could believe what she was seeing.

Lin Zhibai and Yun Wanqing are dancing hand in hand.

Some guests around Yun Suiwan were already talking about it.

"Have you heard? It seems the Lin family and the Yun family are planning a marriage alliance."

"Young Master Lin and Yun Suiwan?"

"The second young lady of the Yun family is the one next to Young Master Lin."

"Oh, to be precise, it should be the Lin family and the Huo family."

"That second young lady is no simpleton. She used to have an ambiguous relationship with Young Master Lu, and now she's with Young Master Lin..."

"He's not good-looking either, and I heard his personality isn't very good either."

"So what? As long as Young Master Lin likes it."

"That's right, as long as Young Master Lin likes her, she's a treasure."

Yun Suiwan turned her head slightly and saw Gu Fanyan standing not far away.

Her eyes were fixed on Lin Zhibai and Yun Wanqing, her beautiful eyes veiled with mist, and no one could see what was inside them.

At this moment, Lu Dongjue approached Gu Fanyan and whispered a few words to her.

It wasn't until Lu Dongjue looked up that Yun Suiwan realized she had been staring for a bit too long.

Lu Dongjue moved his thin lips, as if sending a kiss.

Yun Suiwan quickly looked away, her cheeks burning like fire.

How could he dare... in front of everyone?

He and Gu Fanyan also went down to dance.

Yun Suiwan quickly realized that Gu Fanyan was always intentionally or unintentionally leaning towards Lin Zhibai.

It was as if she wanted Lin Zhibai to see her.

But Lin Zhibai never spared any attention for her.

He and Yun Wanqing, on the other hand, were very affectionate and intimate in their demeanor.

Many girls felt that the rumors of their marriage must have been confirmed, and couldn't help but cast envious glances at Yun Wanqing.

Yun Wanqing's face was flushed, and she was all smiles, exuding a smug air.

Tonight, she has reached the pinnacle of her life.

Yun Suiwan also couldn't understand what Lin Zhibai was up to.

After a dance ended, Yun Suiwan winked at Lin Zhibai and called him to the deck.

"What are your plans?" she asked.

"Good plan." Lin Zhibai grinned. "Why are you so concerned about my affairs?"

"I don't have time to care about you."

"Then you're even less likely to care about Yun Wanqing."

Yun Suiwan looked guilty. "Gu Fanyan is here partly because of me. Don't go too far, I'm afraid she'll be upset."

Lin Zhibai chuckled, "How could that be?"

"Gu Fanyan is upset because of me? You're overthinking it!"

Yun Suiwan frowned: "You two have already done *that*, why can't she feel bad because of you?"

"That's two different things," Lin Zhibai said, both helpless and amused. "Impulsive, out of control, each getting what they wanted, do you understand?"

"Oh, you probably don't understand, because the kind of relationship you have with Young Master Lu has become a rare breed."

Yun Suiwan was stunned for a moment.

His nonchalant attitude made her realize that she had indeed been overthinking things.
