Quick Wear: Boss, she won again by doing nothing

Chapter 877: Not convinced? Kill him (97)

Zhou Qi said: "He went to various places on the cruise ship to get some information and familiarize himself with the distribution of the environment."

After hearing this, Xing Rong nodded to indicate that he understood.

Then, she asked Zhou Qi and Ming Xi to go to the guest room to rest first. After all, they had come all the way here without being discovered, so they must be very tired.

There were no surveillance devices installed in the suite, and Zhong Fanle had already searched the area and wouldn't be back in the near future. Therefore, the area was relatively safe for now.

The room returned to silence once again, with Xing Rong sitting quietly in the living room alone. She gently turned her wheelchair, which slowly moved forward until it finally stopped beside the swimming pool on the right side of the balcony.

Time passed quietly without anyone noticing, and the strong light originally embedded in the sea surface gradually dimmed, until the sunset slowly sank into the horizon.

The entire ocean seemed to have transformed into a battlefield where liquid molten gold and cold steel collided with each other. A faint amber hue shone through the nearby wave crests.

"Xue Xiaoqi, you like it here very much." Zhong Fanle leaned against the door frame, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, looking at her with a smile, and finally couldn't help but speak.

His eyes were as sharp as torches, staring at her all the time.

But she was completely oblivious, just sitting there quietly, her eyes gazing into the distance, her expression as calm as water, as if she had merged into the scenery.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment. Zhong Fanle just looked at her silently, with an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Xing Rong didn't turn around to respond to him, but just said "hmm" softly, the voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible.

Her attention was still focused on the ebb and flow of the tide in front of her. The setting sun slowly hid in the sea, leaving only a piece of afterglow shining on the sparkling sea surface.

Seeing this, Zhong Fanle's smile widened. "I've asked the housekeeper to prepare the bath water for you. Go take a bath first. After that, I'll take you somewhere."

Xing Rong's body moved slightly, and he finally turned his head, his eyes meeting Zhong Fanle's.

"Where are you going?" Her voice was still calm, without any ripples.

He paused, the corners of his lips raised slightly, revealing a slightly mysterious smile, "Go see what you want to see."

His words made Xing Rong's eyes flash with surprise. She seemed a little surprised by the answer, but soon regained her composure.

"If I don't take you to see it, that thing will be rescued by someone." There was a hint of teasing in Zhong Fanle's voice. He looked at Xing Rong, and the temptation in his eyes became more and more obvious.

Xing Rong frowned slightly, obviously interested in what he said, "Who?" There was finally a hint of fluctuation in her voice, like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

Zhong Fanle didn't say anything, but carefully observed her expression. After a while, he asked, "Don't you know?"

"What should I know?" Her voice was calm and indifferent, without any of the emotion that Zhong Fanle wanted.

He originally just wanted to test her to see if she was really as nonchalant as she appeared to be, but he didn't expect her to ask him back directly.

For a moment, both of them fell silent and no one spoke again.

The sea breeze blew gently across the balcony, bringing bursts of salty and fishy smells, and brushed across the slightly warm teak floor, making people feel a hint of coolness.

The air was filled with the aroma of agarwood powder burning in the copper incense burner in the corner. This aroma was intertwined with the breath of the sea and collided with each other, just like the atmosphere between the two people, seemingly calm, but in fact undercurrents were surging.

In the end, it was Zhong Fanle who broke the awkward deadlock. "Don't worry, the housekeeper has probably already filled the water. Go take a shower first."

Xing Rong nodded and said, "Well, you can leave first. I will ask the housekeeper to notify you after I finish washing."

"Why are you in such a hurry to get me out? Is there something hidden in the house that I don't know about?" Zhong Fanle raised a playful smile at the corner of his mouth and spoke in a deliberately teasing tone.

Xing Rong frowned slightly, but soon regained his composure.

"Don't you know everything that's in my room?" Her voice was still as calm as water, but with an authority that could not be ignored.

Zhong Fanle was suddenly speechless, realizing he couldn't even win an argument with Xing Rong. Seeing her calm demeanor, he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

In the end, he had no choice but to turn around and leave the balcony, leaving Xing Rong there alone.
