Chapter 320 Noah's Ark No. 001
"There's only half an hour left until the boarding deadline, why hasn't your brother shown up yet?" Xia Xiong Hui looked around nervously, constantly glancing around.
Xia Yue glanced at the time, frowned slightly, and explained for Feng Yao, "He might have been delayed by something. He's always been a punctual person."
"If it's just a normal delay, that's fine. But if we encounter some special trouble, it's hard to say." A faint voice sounded.
It was the voice of the fourth prince, Anson.
To prevent Ansen from leaking information, Xia Xiong Hui has been keeping Ansen locked up for the past few days, preventing him from contacting the outside world.
Anson was only released today, just before boarding the ship, and taken along with them.
Ansen was furious. He was the fourth prince of Country A, yet he had been imprisoned for several days as a criminal. He was extremely annoyed.
Xia Yue couldn't stand Ansen's sarcastic remarks; it was clearly a curse on her brother.
She threatened him directly, "Fourth Prince, you are skilled in poisoning and have countless ways to shut you up. If you want to experience it, feel free to say a few more words."
Ansen opened his mouth, but ultimately dared not confront Xia Yue head-on. He had no bodyguards around him and no reason to be arrogant.
In the end, he could only say in a cold voice,
"I finally managed to buy a ticket and I don't want to miss this opportunity. You can wait yourselves, don't hold me back. I need to board the ship, please let me leave."
Xia Yue glanced at the noisy Ansen.
This person is the fourth prince of Country A. He cannot be hit, nor can he be scolded too harshly. In the past few days, things have indeed gone a bit too far, and he has been imprisoned.
"Fine, you can leave if you want." Xia Yue let Ansen go.
Ansen was surprised by Xia Yue's quick agreement; he had thought there would be several more rounds of negotiations, which made him feel much more relaxed.
He stared into Xia Yue's beautiful eyes, a satisfied smile spreading across his face.
This woman had that same quality that had captivated him back then.
Unfortunately, he cared more about power than beauty.
"Dr. X, good luck to you." After saying that, Anson picked up his meager luggage and left.
Xia Yue and Xia Xiong Hui continued to wait, but their emotions were clearly affected, and they were both somewhat anxious.
Time passed slowly, and the two of them felt it was an exceptionally long time.
With only five minutes left, the Noah's Ark 001, not far away, sounded its horn, and the broadcast repeatedly reminded passengers who had not yet boarded to do so as soon as possible.
Upon hearing the urging voice, Xia Xiong Hui said to Xia Yue, "Let's go, don't wait any longer."
Although Xia Xiong Hui was very worried about his son, he had more important things to do and could only give up for the time being.
Xia Yue couldn't just leave like that.
She felt a vague unease.
“My brother is always a punctual person. He said he would board the ship with us, but he hasn’t shown up. Something must have happened to him.”
“That’s not something we can control right now. He’s the young master of the Feng family, after all. He can handle things himself.” Xia Xiong Hui urged Xia Yue to set off.
Xia Yue kept looking around, trying to catch a glimpse of her brother.
Seeing this, Xia Xiong Hui had no choice but to grab his daughter's sleeve and forcibly take her away.
However, he dared not exert too much force, for fear of accidentally losing his balance and harming Xia Yue's fetus.
The two walked and looked around, boarding the ship just in time for the last boarding moment.
Once on deck, the cruise ship prepared to retract its ladder and set sail.
Just at this critical moment, a black figure rushed from the shore.
The man ran breathlessly, shouting, "Wait!"
Xia Yue recognized the runner; wasn't that her late brother?
This guy finally arrived!
She said to the staff who were taking down the ladder, "That person is my brother. Could you wait a few more seconds? He also has a ticket and will be coming up soon."
"No, the deadline has passed." The staff member refused expressionlessly.
Xia Xiong Hui then walked over to the staff members and, with great expertise, slipped a gold bar into the arms of two of them.
The two men instantly changed their attitude, and the ladder they had previously put away was put down again.
Feng Yao stepped onto the ship at the last possible moment!
He leaned against the railing, panting heavily.
Xia Yue walked to Feng Yao's side and couldn't help but ask, "Why are you so late? You almost missed it."
"I encountered...some things..." Feng Yao replied vaguely.
The matter was too complicated and delicate to explain, and he was too embarrassed to tell his sister and father.
Xia Xiong Hui noticed deep bluish-purple spots on Feng Yao's neck; those marks were rather ambiguous.
The father, who had seen many storms, instantly understood something.
It was both frustrating and funny.
My son has finally figured things out when it comes to women, but it seems to be interfering with his important business.
Xia Yue, however, seemed a little slow to notice. Looking at Feng Yao's spots, she asked curiously, "Brother, what happened to your neck?"
Feng Yao's face flushed red instantly.
He stammered in response, "I was... I was bitten by mosquitoes."
Xia Yue exclaimed in surprise, "Are the mosquitoes in F country really that bad? I guess I need to make some insect repellent so I don't get bitten."
After saying that, Xia Yue took out a box of cooling balm and handed it to Feng Yao, "If it hurts, apply this. It's very effective for treating mosquito bites."
Feng Yao guiltily accepted the cooling balm and quickly changed the subject, "Let's go to our room and put our luggage away first."
“Yes, this cruise ship is quite big, twice the size of the one that took us from China to Country A.” Xia Yue also began to look around the cruise ship.
After all, the next two weeks will be spent on a cruise ship.
Xia Xiong Hui then told his two children, based on the information he had found, "This cruise ship is called Noah's Ark 001. It is the only ship that can go to Broken Soul Island. It can carry 3,000 passengers and has 12 floors. We are staying on the ninth floor."
