The island was not close to the shore, and it would take a two-day journey by yacht to reach it.
At this moment.
The yacht was still sailing on the open sea.
Even the most beautiful scenery can become tiresome after a while, especially the boundless ocean, which can easily wear out one’s enthusiasm.
For example, right now, two young girls were nestled inside the cabin, watching cartoons.
Xue An stood on the bow, gazing at the sea surface.
Fan Mengxue and Tang Xuan’er were beside him, keeping him company.
Tang Xuan’er had taken a leave of absence from the hospital and then came to the provincial city.
Xue An had taken her out to unwind.
As for Fan Mengxue…
Her fame now was more than double what it had been before, with a plethora of advertising invitations and commercial endorsements, as plentiful as cow hair.
Here it should be mentioned that when Fan Mengxue was blacklisted by the Xie Family, those businesses that had been eager to cancel their contracts were now dying of regret.
But as for these, Fan Mengxue didn’t care.
Upon learning that Xue An was planning a sea voyage, Fan Mengxue immediately pushed aside all her work.
As for An Qing, it seemed her unit, the Phoenix Immortal, had missions, and they had called her away.
This sea area was still bustling.
From time to time, there were ships passing by.
The three were idly chatting.
A luxurious yacht slowly approached, and a man stood at the bow, shouting loudly.
“Meng Xue! Is that Meng Xue?”
Fan Mengxue, recognizing the voice as familiar, couldn’t help but look up.
She saw the man standing on the bow, dressed in a white suit. Although he was somewhat far away and his face was unclear, his posture and movements seemed familiar.
Fan Mengxue frowned slightly.
Xue An smiled faintly, “Do you know him?”
“Seems like it, but I don’t have much of an impression.”
While they were speaking, the opposite yacht gradually drew closer.
“Meng Xue! To be able to see you on the high seas is truly a marvelous fate!” The man bared his pearly white teeth, speaking with a cheerful grin.
It was only then that Fan Mengxue recognized who the person was.
It turned out to be a male celebrity from the entertainment circle named Xiao Chu.
Previously, Fan Mengxue had worked with him on a commercial and hence knew him.
But it was just a nodding acquaintance.
Fan Mengxue nodded slightly, “So it’s Mr. Xiao.”
Xiao Chu laughed, “What Mr.? I’m only a few years older than you; just call me brother. Wait a moment, I’ll come over!”
Without waiting for a reply, he very familiarly had someone extend the gangplank and then walked over.
When he got close and saw Tang Xuan’er, Xiao Chu’s eyes lit up anew.
Initially, his attention had been all on Fan Mengxue, and he hadn’t noticed the beautiful girl beside her at all.
“It’s a beautiful day indeed, to meet such a gorgeous girl on the high seas!” Xiao Chu believed his smile to be quite charming.
But his antics were of no use to Tang Xuan’er. She remained expressionless and turned back to the cabin without a word.
Undaunted, he turned his fervent gaze towards Fan Mengxue.
“Meng Xue, I heard your latest movie is a big hit, congratulations!”
Fan Mengxue felt a pang of disdain.
When she was blacklisted, everyone in the circle knew, but he was silent then.
He was also silent when the movie’s trailer came out.
Even when the public opinion was extremely unfavorable towards her.
This gentleman kept his distance.
Now, after the storm had passed and her movie was at the height of its success, he came with an exceedingly warm congratulations.
One could see what kind of person he was.
Thinking to herself, Fan Mengxue couldn’t help but show a trace of impatience on her face as she nodded and said, “Thanks!”
Xiao Chu saw it clearly and couldn’t help but flash a hint of darkness in his eyes.
However, he concealed it very well, still wearing a warm and enthusiastic smile on his face.
“And this is…?” Xiao Chu asked, upon noticing Xue An standing to the side.
At the same time, his gaze carried a hint of fierceness.
Ha ha!
The so-called pure and untainted Fan Mengxue of the entertainment circle, would she also secretly go out to sea with a wealthy second-generation?
If this news got out, I wonder what it would be like.
Xiao Chu was plotting in his mind.
Xue An frowned slightly.
This man meant no good.
But immediately after, he casually smiled and said, “I’m the captain of this yacht.”
“Oh!” Xiao Chu responded dismissively upon hearing this.
Then he didn’t even glance at Xue An again.
Since he isn’t some scion of a wealthy family, that’s even better. Isn’t it nice to be at the vast sea with two beauties?
With that thought, Xiao Chu’s smile grew even brighter.
“Meng Xue, where are you going?”
Fan Mengxue was annoyed by this man’s familiarity. How close does he think they are?
You keep calling me Meng Xue?
Just as she was about to react, Xue An winked at her.
Fan Mengxue blinked in confusion.
What does that mean?
Xiao Chu, however, didn’t notice these subtleties and said arrogantly, “I’ve been invited to an opening ceremony at an island resort newly developed by the Qin Family in the provincial city!”
When mentioning the Qin Family of the provincial city, Xiao Chu spoke loudly and bragged.
“Meng Xue, why don’t you come along with me, it’ll be quite the spectacle!”
Fan Mengxue hadn’t said anything yet, but Xue An indifferently said, “Sure, that sounds like a great idea, we could broaden our horizons!”
Xiao Chu shot Xue An a glance, thinking to himself that the man knew how to talk.
Fan Mengxue didn’t know what Xue An was up to but reluctantly nodded anyway.
Xiao Chu couldn’t contain his excitement.
Hehe, if he could take advantage of this opportunity and win over this well-known jade girl of the entertainment industry, it would benefit his future development greatly.
By that time, they could already see the distant island.
“Meng Xue, do you know about the Qin Family of the provincial city?”
Fan Mengxue shook her head, “No idea!”
“Hehe, how could you not have heard about it?”
“Heard about what?”
“Now who doesn’t know that the Qin Family orchestrated the fall of the Xie Family, the former power of the provincial city, and managed to take over smoothly from Beijiang? Tsk tsk!” Xiao Chu exclaimed several times, then lowered his voice.
“And have you heard? There’s a big shot called Mr. Xue who is helping the Qin Family! Otherwise, it wouldn’t have gone so smoothly!”
Fan Mengxue held back a laugh, then shook her head, “I really have no clue!”
Meanwhile, Xue An also smiled and said, “The Mr. Xue you’re talking about… is he really that impressive?”
“What do you know?” Xiao Chu sneered at Xue An.
“Let me tell you, I know this Mr. Xue!”
“Oh? Is that so?” Xue An smiled faintly, “So what does this Mr. Xue… look like?”
“Hmph, that man is over two meters tall, can demolish a wall with one punch, and can eat ten people’s worth of food in one meal!” Xiao Chu said with self-satisfaction.
“That impressive?” Xue An blinked.
“Of course that impressive. Otherwise, do you think so many noble families in the provincial city would obediently follow orders? I heard that Mr. Xue alone subdued all the noble families of the provincial city!” Xiao Chu said.
Xue An gave a faint smile, “That sounds quite formidable indeed.”
