Huo Zhixing was slightly taken aback and squinted at him.
"Why are you in such a hurry whether I go with her or not?"
"you……"
"President Yin is meddling in far too many things!" Huo Zhixing's tone became more serious, his dark eyes gleaming with a chilling light.
To his surprise, Yin Ruohong's expression darkened, and a hint of sorrow, imperceptible to others, flashed across his weathered face.
"Yeah, I shouldn't have meddled so much," Yin Ruohong muttered to herself, a self-deprecating smile on her face as she walked out. "What am I anyway..."
Huo Zhixing looked at his retreating figure with a puzzled expression.
What exactly is this old fox trying to do?
Whatever he's planning, just don't let him get close to Jiang Can.
Huo Zhixing turned and strode away from the lounge.
The concert on the deck had ended, and people were chatting and laughing in small groups, raising their glasses.
Jiang Can stood at the bow of the boat, outside the crowd, smiling as she looked at them.
"Little sister-in-law, why are you here all alone!" Bai Jingyuan ran over cheerfully and handed her a glass of red wine.
"Didn't your third brother stay with you?"
“I just called him, he’ll be here soon,” Jiang Can said with a smile.
Suddenly remembering what Huo Zhixing had told her—that Lao Bai was in a relationship—she asked him about it out of curiosity.
Bai Jingyuan was a little embarrassed. "You even know this?"
Jiang Can smiled and said, "I'd really like to know which girl has captured your heart."
"Actually, I don't know who she is either."
"What?" Jiang Can asked in surprise.
"I only know her name, I don't even know her surname." Bai Jingyuan smiled. "Perhaps she was just a beautiful dream of mine... Now that the dream is over, I should return to reality."
It's rare to see him so serious and melancholic.
Jiang Can didn't know how to comfort him, so she patted him on the shoulder.
Just as I was about to say something, I heard a low cough.
Huo Zhixing's face darkened. He strode over, put his arm around Jiang Can's slender waist, and wrapped the petite woman in his embrace.
Even if Bai Jingyuan was stupid, he could tell that Huo Zhixing, that jealous person, was acting up again.
Just now, Jiang Can patted him on the shoulder!
Bai Jingyuan smiled ingratiatingly and greeted him, "Third Brother!"
"By the way, Third Brother, Sister-in-law! This cruise ship is full of elders, it's not very interesting! Why don't you go to the yacht?"
Huo Zhixing looked around.
Several yachts surrounded the large ship.
The yachts were all recently purchased by Bai Jingyuan from abroad. They not only have streamlined hulls but also the world's most advanced equipment.
Huo Zhixing smiled gently at Jiang Can, his gaze questioning her.
"I really want to go up and have some fun," Jiang Can said softly. "Look, there are lots of young people there!"
"Exactly, this is the world of young people!" Bai Jingyuan said, having already taken off his shirt, revealing only his swim trunks underneath and his well-built physique. "This is my special program, come join us!"
He disembarked from the cruise ship and jumped onto the yacht.
Almost everyone on the ship was his friend, and they cheered when they saw him.
"Third Brother, Sister-in-law!" he waved, "You can board any of the other yachts, choose whichever you like!"
Jiang Can smiled and pulled Huo Zhixing over.
However, a voice came over, "I think... the yacht is unsafe! Let's not go!"
Jiang Can was taken aback.
Looking in the direction of the sound, I saw it was the uncle I'd met at the pet hospital the other day!
"What are you doing here?" she exclaimed in surprise. "So you're also a distinguished guest of the Bai family!"
Huo Zhixing glared at Yin Ruohong and instinctively tightened his protective grip on Jiang Can.
“Zhixing,” Jiang Can looked at him, then at Yin Ruohong, “do you know Uncle?”
Yin Ruohong: "I know him."
Huo Zhixing: "I don't know him."
Jiang Can: "..."
She paused, and seeing Huo Zhixing's deep expression and Yin Ruohong's ambiguous smile, she guessed that there might be some grudge between the two.
But no matter how much of a grudge there is, one cannot make a scene at the Bai family's concert.
Jiang Can gently intertwined her fingers with Huo Zhixing's and gave him a tender look.
Her smile had a magical quality that instantly calmed his heart.
"This is Yin Ruohong, the president of the Nanyang Medical Association and the head of Yin's Pharmaceuticals," Huo Zhixing introduced briefly.
Jiang Can's eyes flickered.
Perhaps it was because she had heard the word "Nanyang" too much lately, but a strange feeling suddenly welled up in her heart.
"Uncle and Aunt Bai want to cooperate with the chairman, so they invited him to the concert," Huo Zhixing said softly.
Jiang Can nodded and smiled politely at Yin Ruohong.
“Now I’ll take you onto the yacht,” Huo Zhixing whispered in her ear.
"No!" Yin Ruohong firmly stopped them.
Huo Zhixing glanced at him.
"It's really not safe!" Yin Ruohong said like a heartfelt old father. "Look at that yacht, it's not big, it won't hold up when the wind and waves come! And these young people, wearing swimsuits, are playing on it, drinking and dancing, what kind of behavior is that!"
Jiang Can covered her mouth and chuckled, while Huo Zhixing looked disdainful.
“If you two insist on going, I’ll have to go with you!” Yin Ruohong said.
Huo Zhixing glared at him, almost about to explode.
"What are you doing following along?" he shouted sternly.
Seeing that he was getting angry, Jiang Can quickly pulled him back.
“Never mind, Zhixing…” She pulled him aside and whispered, “I ran into this uncle at the pet hospital last time. It seemed like none of his children were around. He was quite pitiful… Don’t argue with him.”
"How about this, we'll take him on the yacht. If he doesn't want to come along, we'll find a chance to shake him off!"
"Anyway, there are so many yachts!"
Jiang Can smiled with her eyes crinkling, and Huo Zhixing lost all temper when he saw her smile.
He had no choice but to agree, and a special person escorted him onto the yacht.
But Yin Ruohong followed, staying almost every step of the way.
The old man's eyes were fixed on the two of them, especially on Jiang Can. He became tense with every rocking of the boat, as if afraid something might happen to her.
Huo Zhixing shielded Jiang Can by his side and glared back at her.
Yin Ruohong rolled her eyes at her.
Huo Zhixing felt a lump in his throat, like a volcano about to erupt.
...
The yacht is spacious, and every corner exudes luxury.
This yacht was prepared specifically for Huo Zhixing and Jiang Can. Apart from the driver and an assistant, there were no other people on board.
Jiang Can really liked it here, looking around every room with her big eyes full of curiosity.
“These yachts were all custom-made by Lao Bai from Italy,” Huo Zhixing said gently. “They are handcrafted and very valuable.”
“Oh…” Jiang Can nodded.
"If you like, I'll order one for you too." Huo Zhixing bent down and gently brushed his nose against her forehead, his eyes filled with undisguised affection.
Jiang Can reached out her small hand and hooked it around his neck. The sunlight stretched their shadows long on the deck, and the sea breeze made the scenery as beautiful as a painting.
She tiptoed, about to kiss his lips, when she caught a glimpse of Yin Ruohong still standing not far away.
Her face flushed slightly, and she quickly let go of him, taking his hand as they continued walking on the deck.
