As the two were embracing affectionately, the boat slowly approached the dock.

An announcement came over the loudspeaker. Ni Sitian released Xu Tingchuan, climbed off his lap, and looked around the room again, a little reluctant to leave: "It's over so soon."

Xu Tingchuan smiled and said, "If you really like it, you can borrow it from Pei Yang to go out to sea for fun in the future."

"Oh dear!" Ni Sitian suddenly remembered something. "How could I have forgotten yesterday? I was even trying to trick Pei Yang into waiving the boat rental fee!"

Xu Tingchuan chuckled, put his arm around Ni Sitian's shoulder, and rubbed her head. "It's a real pity you didn't study finance back then."

"It's all my fault for forgetting," Ni Sitian said, a little annoyed.

"Don't worry, Pei Yang only charged me for the ship crew's wages this time, he didn't even charge me for fuel." Xu Tingchuan flicked Ni Sitian's forehead.

Upon hearing this, Ni Sitian immediately became happy again, "You've saved a lot of money."

Xu Tingchuan really didn't understand her pleasure in saving money, but in order to please her, he gave her a number.

In fact, he had no idea how much the annual meeting actually cost. These were minor matters that the finance department could report up to the director level, and they didn't even reach him.

"Really? That's enough to buy a house!" Ni Sitian was very happy, but then she remembered the car she won in the lottery last night.

However, the employees at the M&K headquarters worked very hard with Xu Tingchuan. Although she felt a little reluctant to spend the money, she thought it was reasonable to reward them with a car.

"Let's use the money we saved this year to buy prizes for next year's annual meeting. We can set up more prizes," Ni Sitian suggested to Xu Tingchuan.

Xu Tingchuan smiled slightly, finding her personality—both stingy and generous—truly adorable. He hugged her and showered her with kisses.

Ni Sitian's lips were red and swollen from the mess, and she playfully punched him, "Alright, let's get off the boat quickly."

Xu Tingchuan's antics were simply to prevent Ni Sitian from witnessing Shen Muzhi being carried to the ambulance. Now that he figured it was about time, he picked up his suitcase, took Ni Sitian's hand, and left the room.

As they approached the elevator, they encountered Xiang Zhilan and Feng Jingxian. Xiang Zhilan had her face buried in her scarf, as if trying to avoid everyone's gaze, while Feng Jingxian stood beside her carrying a luggage bag.

"Zhi Lan, are you feeling unwell again?" Ni Sitian asked with concern, moving to Zhi Lan's left side.

Xiang Zhilan slowly raised her eyes, glanced at Ni Sitian, and shook her head.

Ni Sitian felt that Xiang Zhilan was acting strangely, so she reached out to hold her hand. Her hand was not as hot as it had been in the morning, but was extremely cold, as if it had just come out of an ice cellar.

"We'll be disembarking soon, and we'll go to the hospital later." Ni Sitian raised her hand and touched Xiang Zhilan's forehead again.

Before Xiang Zhilan could speak, the elevator arrived, and the group entered together.

As Xiang Zhilan walked onto the deck, she watched an ambulance drive away in the distance. Her hands clenched into fists, and her face grew even paler.

As they descended the steps, Feng Jingxian reached out to help Xiang Zhilan.

Xiang Zhilan reflexively withdrew her hands and put them behind her back.

Ni Sitian noticed this and looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression.

The atmosphere between the two of them seemed a bit strange. Had they had a fight?

That's why Xiang Zhilan was acting so strangely today.
