Chapter 145 Shengsheng presents it to Master Xiao——
"It has no depth and is very childish." She knew that he would only be satisfied if she painted according to his wishes.
"Ms. Ning's mouth is like a knife."
I showed him no mercy the whole night.
"There's no need to be polite to someone like you." Ning Fengsheng really wanted to complain about him. He wanted to pretend that such a work was a masterpiece of a master.
Nanchuan Night Owl: “…”
"Master Xiao, are you satisfied? Can you let me go?"
"Of course. This is on the high seas. If Miss Ning has a way to leave, please feel free to do so." Nanchuan Yexiao shrugged, as if he was sure that she would not be able to leave.
Ning Fengsheng was about to leave when he stopped her: "Wait."
Are you regretting it so soon?
"You haven't signed your name yet." Nanchuan Yexiao handed her the pen.
Ning Fengsheng: “…”
"Write: Shengsheng presents this to Young Master Xiao—" Nanchuan Night Owl glanced at something, "Make the signature bigger!"
…
Ning Fengsheng took off his plush slippers and walked barefoot in the huge cabin.
Found a fruit knife for cutting cake on the small dining table on the deck——
Lifeboats are usually placed on both sides or at the stern of the cruise ship.
As she cut the lifeboat's cable, the girl's sweet voice rang out, "Do you need help?"
Ning Fengsheng turned around and saw a strange face.
The woman had charming eyebrows and gray-blue eyes, and her smile was very similar to that of Nanchuan Night Owl.
"I am the third daughter of the Nanchuan family, Nanchuan Ling."
"I haven't heard that he has a sister?"
"In the Nanchuan family, women have a very low status. Especially for someone like me... a child born to a substitute lover." Nanchuan Ling smiled gently, "My second brother's status is just like that, let alone me."
"A substitute lover?"
"My mother was a solace after the death of Nanchuan's first lady." She twirled the strands of hair from her temples. "She underwent thirteen plastic surgeries to win my father's favor, but she hemorrhaged and died while giving birth to me."
The sea breeze brought a fishy and salty smell into my nostrils.
Nan Chuan Ling suddenly unbuttoned his sleeves, revealing the hideous scar on his arm: "The housekeeper said I stole the ring, and my father burned it with a cigar."
Ning Fengsheng's eyes flashed with surprise - they were not familiar with each other, why did he tell her this?
"The Nanchuan family is perverted and suffocating. You'd better not come in. Even your brother can't protect you." Nanchuan Ling smiled gently, "A beauty as bright as you will wither quickly."
"I know the gap between me and the Nanchuan noble..." Ning Fengsheng faced the sea breeze, "He chose to obey the family's will. I won't bother him anymore."
"There's a speedboat at the southeast corner of the cruise ship. Follow me."
Ning Fengsheng hesitated for a moment, and an intuition told her that Nan Chuanling was not a bad person.
She trusted her instincts and followed her down the long corridor to a narrow, long ship's gangway at the stern that led down to the sea.
If you rescue someone from the sea, you can get them out through this gangway.
The two of them walked down the gangway, one step deep and one step shallow, followed by Nan Chuanling's personal maid...
"Miss San, be careful of the slippery stairs."
"Don't talk." Nan Chuanling was trembling with fear. She was afraid of water and heights.
"You can't swim?" Ning Fengsheng saw her fear.
"When I was little, I was thrown into the pool if I did something wrong... so I'm afraid of water. Sorry, Miss Ning, my legs are weak..."
Suddenly, the cruise ship tilted slightly in the waves. Nan Chuanling screamed, slipped, and rushed towards Ning Fengsheng.
The gangway, which was already so narrow that even turning around was dangerous, became turbulent. Ning Fengsheng lost his balance and could not step on the ladder, and his body weight fell down.
Splash, two waves sounded one after another.
The two servants standing on the gangway were dumbfounded!
Ning Fengsheng dove into the sea and choked on the salty water. When she tried to swim toward the surface, a pair of hands grabbed her feet...
Nan Chuanling was not a good swimmer, and she suddenly fell into the sea. She panicked and frantically wanted to grab at straws, so she hugged Ning Fengsheng tightly in her arms.
Ning Fengsheng felt like he was being pulled by a weight, sinking continuously.
She struggled to float to the surface, but Nan Chuan Ling, who had jumped up, pulled her back into the water.
"Help... cough cough..." Nan Chuan Ling cried, her makeup was smudged, and she had lost all her ladylike demeanor.
Ning Fengsheng was forced to swallow a few sips of water from time to time, and he was really convinced...
Being dragged by Nan Chuan Ling, he could only watch the huge yacht expand the waves of the night and go farther and farther away.
"Be rational—Nan Chuanling, calm down and listen to me!"
"I'm dying, I'm dying... Miss Ning, save me..." Nan Chuan Ling hugged her tightly and burst into tears, "I just celebrated my 19th birthday this year, and I'm going to die..."
A wave came over and knocked the two men into the sea, floating up and down.
A drowning person will struggle desperately to survive, instinctively grabbing whatever they can...
And once you grab it, never let go.
…
The two servants carefully carried the painting "The Girl with Thorns" forward, but were blocked by a dark figure in front of them.
Nanchuan Yexiao looked at the man in front of him, a wicked smile on his face: "Brother, look at the gift I received tonight, what a surprise."
Nanchuan Shijue's terrifying gaze swept across the painting...
"I was going to give it to you, but I've changed my mind." Nanchuan Yexiao's fingers gently rubbed across the canvas. The drop of blood that Ning Fengsheng had bitten and wiped away had not yet dried, and it stained his fingertips. "The finishing touch, so poignant and beautiful..."
The whole painting is strange and changeable under the light, the thorns are like chains, and a human face emerges from the ashes of the rose.
The girl in the white dress and the man in the black suit clearly looked like him and Ning Fengsheng.
Nanchuan Shijue suddenly stretched out his hand.
"Brother, it's no use taking it back. It says it's a gift to me." Nanchuan Yexiao smiled with premeditation, "I want to frame this painting and hang it by my bed to admire it every day..."
Nanchuan Shijue had a tinderbox in his hand, and sparks devoured the canvas.
Nanchuan Night Owl's complacent expression changed, and he rushed forward to put out the fire.
Nanchuan Shijue kicked him away.
"Brother, you've set my heart on fire." Nanchuan Yexiao was completely enraged and kicked him.
The two servants watched helplessly as the canvas caught fire, the flames growing stronger and stronger...
"If the painting is burned, I will ask Miss Ning to compensate me by being a nude model..." Nanchuan Yexiao just opened his mouth when he was punched hard in the face.
"Do you dare to provoke her again?!"
The sea breeze blew the ashes of the canvas into the deep blue night sky, like scattered stars.
Two strong men were fighting fiercely. Their clothes were torn apart in the fight, revealing their strong bodies.
The guests sighed...
Bang, with an over-the-shoulder throw, Nanchuan Shijue threw the man hard onto the gambling table, and chips and poker cards flew everywhere.
"Oh no, the third young lady fell into the sea..." the servant shouted in panic.
