Alaska Gold Rush Diary

Chapter 65 On the Yacht

Seeing that Zhang Jianing agreed to board the ship, Sullivan was very happy and hurriedly led the three of them onto the ship.

There were already about a dozen young men and women on the yacht. When they saw the newcomers board, they all came over to welcome them.

"Sullivan, is this Hathaway? She's really beautiful, and they're a perfect match!"

A man about the same age as Sullivan came up to him with a grin and said...

Sullivan punched him lightly and laughed, "Parker, please don't say that, Hathaway hasn't agreed to be with me yet!"

Zhang Jianing frowned, and the thought of disembarking resurfaced in her mind.

"It's okay, let's just do our own thing and ignore them," Zhou Xin said in Chinese from the side.

Zhang Jianing's expression softened, and she refrained from her plan to disembark immediately.

Sullivan stood on the bow, arms outstretched, and shouted with great enthusiasm:

"The person I've been waiting for has arrived, guys, let's go!"

Amid cheers from the crowd, the yacht started and left the harbor.

Edward leaned close to Zhou Xin's ear and whispered, "Aren't you worried at all? I think he cares a lot about Hathaway."

Zhou Xin smiled and said, "If he were to pursue me, I would be a little worried."

His words immediately amused Zhang Jianing, who chuckled and said, "Then I hope he will pursue Edward."

She was initially very worried that Zhou Xin would mind or overthink things, but now that she saw Zhou Xin looking relaxed, she felt a little relieved.

Edward gave a disdainful look and said, "Too bad. If he were as handsome as Xin, maybe I would really consider it."

"No, that's not politically correct at all. Don't forget, even a black girl with dreadlocks can be a mermaid."

"Sorry, but I prefer eating fish to admiring them." Edward shuddered as the image of the black mermaid emerging from the water with her filthy braid flashed through his mind.

"Okay, if we're lucky enough to catch some fish today, I'll cook you a whole fish feast tonight!" Zhou Xin said with a smile.

Zhang Jianing and Edward cheered together.

"Hathaway, I don't think I've ever seen these two friends of yours before!"

Anli walked over and looked Zhou Xin and Edward up and down.

"Sin is a good friend of mine that I've known for many years, while Edward is someone I met a few months ago."

They said yesterday they wanted to go fishing at sea, and I remembered what you told me last time, so I contacted you. But I never expected that the friend you mentioned would be Sullivan.

Anli scanned Zhou Xin and Edward, and upon discovering that neither of them was wearing designer clothes, jewelry, or watches, her expression immediately turned disdainful.

She even showed undisguised contempt for Zhou Xin, who had yellow skin.

"Sullivan has been asking me to meet you. He's so handsome and rich, you shouldn't be so cold to him."

She couldn't be bothered to talk to Zhou Xin and Edward, and simply ignored them.

Zhang Jianing's face showed obvious displeasure, and her voice became much colder: "Please don't say that anymore. I have already clearly rejected him."

"But he still has deep feelings for you and has never given up on you. You should give him a chance."

Anli was clearly acting on Sullivan's request, and she was doing her best to play matchmaker.

Before Zhang Jianing could speak, Edward couldn't hold back any longer.

"Hathaway has already said no, why are you still clinging to him? If you think Sullivan is so great, then go and be with him yourself!"

Anli's face flushed red with anger, and she shouted, "You poor wretch who hitches a ride on someone else's coattails, what right do you have to speak!"

She had always harbored feelings for Sullivan, and while she was fairly good-looking, she was still far inferior to Zhang Jianing.

The reason she helped Sullivan pursue Zhang Jianing was actually to curry favor with him.

Now that Edward had hit a nerve, she naturally felt like her tail had been stepped on, and she became extremely agitated.

Seeing that everyone on the yacht was looking this way, Zhang Jianing quickly pulled Edward aside and then said to An Li:

"I apologize on Edward's behalf, but please don't bring this up again!"

Anli glared at the three of them and stormed off.

"Your colleague is really unlikable!" Edward muttered.

Zhang Jianing's face was full of apology, and she deeply regretted not insisting on not boarding the boat earlier, otherwise such an embarrassing situation would not have occurred.

Zhou Xin patted Edward on the shoulder, then smiled at Zhang Jianing.

"Don't overthink things, and don't let these irrelevant people and things affect our mood."

Zhang Jianing nodded: "If this makes your Christmas unpleasant, I will feel very guilty."

Zhou Xin laughed and said, "Don't worry, I don't have many holidays, and I won't waste this precious time on these people."

The three of them stopped talking about it and leaned against the deck railing, enjoying the sunshine and sea breeze.

Before long, Sullivan, having enjoyed the praise and compliments from the others on the ship, walked over with a beaming smile, carrying two glasses of champagne.

"Hathaway, please allow me to welcome you again. Come on, let's have a drink!" she said, smiling as she handed over a glass of wine.

Clearly, he didn't take Zhou Xin and Edward seriously at all, completely ignoring them.

Zhang Jianing did not take the glass, and said calmly, "I'm sorry, I don't drink."

After saying that, she turned to Zhou Xin beside her and pointed at Sullivan, asking, "Would you like some?"

Zhou Xin took the glass and said with a smile, "Thank you, I was just a little thirsty." He then picked up the glass and drank it all in one gulp.

After finishing his drink, he handed the glass back to Sullivan.

At that moment, Sullivan seemed to have become a waiter serving tea and water.

Sullivan's face turned pale and then flushed, and the veins on his forehead bulged.

Zhou Xin lowered one hand to his waist, feeling the Beretta 92F replica air pistol hanging there.

The previous one was confiscated when I boarded the plane, and I bought this one after I arrived here.

Even if Sullivan is a violent and volatile maniac who's ready to fight at the slightest provocation, Zhou Xin can make sure he blows out his eyes before he can pounce on him.

After a period of hard training, his American Iaijutsu skills have improved significantly.

At least, within a few meters, he won't miss like before.

Fortunately, Sullivan wasn't that irrational. He quickly calmed down and forced a smile onto his face.

"You're welcome. As I said, Hathaway's friends are my friends. As the current owner of this yacht, of course I will treat you well."

Dude, you have the nerve to say that? You didn't prepare any drinks for us.

Zhou Xin smiled and said, "You are such a cultured gentleman. I think we will definitely have a very happy and unforgettable day today."

Sullivan gave him a deep look, said nothing more, and turned to leave.

puff!

Seeing Sullivan walk away, Zhang Jianing couldn't help but laugh out loud, and Edward laughed along with her.

"You're really not polite, you just picked it up and drank it right away. I was afraid he'd smash the cup in your face," Zhang Jianing laughed heartily.

Zhou Xin looked completely innocent: "Ah, didn't you ask me if I wanted a drink? He offered it to me anyway, so why not?"

"Haha, Xin, you're really something!"

The three of them were filled with laughter and joy.
