The ship will dock early tonight, and those who need to disembark will disembark, and those who need to be sent to the hospital will be sent to the hospital.

Gu Ranle stood alone on the deck, facing the sea.

Looking at his back, I feel lonely, desolate and melancholy.

In fact, she has a cup of tea in her left hand and roast duck in her right hand, enjoying the sea breeze, feeling comfortable, relaxed and free!

Hearing the voice behind her, she slowly turned around.

Perhaps because of the lessons learned from the previous experience, Li Shenzhi's four bodyguards were not assigned to do anything else tonight. They stood in a row behind him, each with a stern face, staring at her ferociously.

Who are you scaring?

Gu Ranle bared his teeth and glared back, "Li Shenzhi, send your four guards away. I'm scared."

Li Shenzhi snorted upon hearing this and said sarcastically, "From childhood to adulthood, is there anyone you, Miss Gu, are afraid of?"

"...No, you misunderstood."

Gu Ranle drank a sip of tea and looked at him as he spoke slowly:

"They have seriously affected my appetite. I'm afraid that they will cripple you and you won't be able to go out tomorrow. After all, it's impossible for someone like you who has a disabled leg and is blind to go out alone."

"..."

On the deck, the only sounds left were the sea breeze and breathing.

She always has the ability to kill the conversation with just one sentence, bringing the atmosphere to freezing point, making people want to kill her immediately!

It's a miracle that she is still alive and well.

"Gu Ranle."

After a long silence, Li Shenzhi called her name. His voice was flat and no emotion could be heard.

Gu Ranle was gnawing on a duck leg and hummed when she heard this.

"Why did you run away that day?"

"How can you call it running away? It's an emergency retreat."

"Is it dangerous for you to marry me?"

"You misunderstood again. It's the marriage that's in danger."

After saying this, Gu Ranle thought about it and felt that it was incomplete.

So, she immediately added: "Why would it be dangerous for a disabled person like you?"

"..."

"Have you had dinner yet? Do you want to eat something together? Let's talk while we eat. I have something I want to tell you."

"it is good."

They said they were eating together, but in fact they were just sharing a table.

The two people have different preferences and tastes, and they eat different things.

Gu Ranle likes to eat meat with a strong flavor and drink light tea.

Li Shenzhi likes vegetarian food with light flavors and drinks red wine.

Therefore, a long table was filled with various dishes, but there was a clear dividing line in the middle.

Gu Ranle has always been casual and generous when it comes to eating.

In contrast, Li Shenzhi is elegant and leisurely in his manners, and his whole body exudes the word "sophisticated".

These two people, apart from their looks, are totally incompatible in every other way.

The reason they were able to get engaged back then was all because of his obsession with looks.

"It's my fault for misunderstanding that you and Uncle Song are a couple."

Gu Ranle raised her teacup and clinked it with Li Shenzhi's red wine glass, producing a clear and pleasant sound.

"I'll drink a glass as punishment. You can do whatever you want."

Li Shenzhi held the wine glass and laughed out of anger.

He had been looking for her for three days and had been angry for three days. Now she wanted to write off everything with just a simple apology and a cup of tea?

After finishing her tea, Gu Ranle saw that he didn't move and raised her eyebrows.

"What's wrong? You don't want to accept my apology? How about I give you this cruise ship as an apology gift? Anyway, I was planning to give it to you and Uncle Song as a wedding gift. Now that you haven't gotten married, I'll give it to you as an apology gift."

When Li Shenzhi mentioned the rumor that she was going to marry Song Yu, he couldn't control the wild power in his body.

The veins on the back of his hand, which was tightly gripping the wine glass, bulged out like snakes, as if they were about to break through the skin, but after a while they gradually disappeared, as if they were swallowed up by the night for no reason.

"Gu Ranle."

"Ok?"

"Did something happen to you?"

One moment she was trying her best to pursue Li Hongxuan, and the next moment she said she didn't want to pursue him anymore. She changed her attitude faster than turning the pages of a book, as if she had suddenly had an epiphany.

If something hadn't happened to a person, how could he have changed so much in such a short period of time?

Since Gu Ning's death, the Gu family's assets have shrunk significantly and the company is on the verge of bankruptcy. Coupled with her extravagant spending in recent years, the only valuable things now are the Gu family residence and this cruise ship.

Although it was true that she had squandered money over the years, she still treasured the eighteenth birthday gift that Gu Ning left for her.

Last year, someone offered 20 billion yuan for it, but she was reluctant to sell it. Now she is giving it away.

It was understandable that she gave it to Li Hongxuan before in order to pursue him, but now she gives it to him as an apology. It sounds reasonable, but it is not rational.

Gu Ranle poured herself another cup of tea and smiled.

She is naturally beautiful and has a face as pretty as a painting. When she smiles, it's as if a hundred flowers are in bloom. She is so breathtakingly beautiful that people are captivated by her.

"Are you concerned about me? This is unreasonable! I came to your house to break off the engagement and made you the laughing stock of the whole city. A few days ago, you misunderstood that you were gay and refused to give you face in front of so many people. Don't you want to kill me? Why are you concerned about me instead? This doesn't fit your notorious domineering personality at all."

Li Shenzhi opened his mouth and was about to express his thoughts, but she suddenly leaned over to him across the table, stretched out her slender arms, and patted his shoulder.

"Brother, the vest cannot fall off. It will be boring if it does."

Li Shenzhi: “…”

I don't understand what you're talking about, what vest? He never wears a vest.

Since she didn't want to say, he stopped asking.

He changed the subject abruptly, "You're just going to punish yourself with a cup of tea?"

Gu Ranle stared at the teacup thoughtfully, "I don't just drink tea, I can also drink some good liquor."

"Red is not okay?"

"I'm not used to it."

"There is a collection of liquor in Villa No. 5. You can pick some out someday."

"If you want to sell it, I can buy some. Forget about giving it away. I don't like to owe favors to others."

"Everything is yours after marriage. You can drink as much as you want."

Gu Ranle took a sip of tea to moisten her throat and looked at him seriously, "Do you really want to marry me?"

Li Shenzhi did not hide it, "I need the money in the joint account of the two families."

After the Gu and Li families got engaged, they set up a joint account.

Every year, the two families would deposit a huge sum of money into a joint account as a betrothal gift and dowry for future marriages.

More than 20 years have passed since the marriage agreement was signed, and the accumulated funds in the account plus the income from capital operations have totaled tens of billions.

According to the agreement, the money can only be withdrawn after the two get married. If they fail to get married by the due date, the money will be donated to charity.

The expiration date is now less than two months away.

Gu Ranle looked at him deeply and said, "Tsk, you are quite honest."

Li Shenzhi took a sip of red wine, put down the glass and looked at her straight in the eye. "Just ask for anything you want, and I'll do my best to satisfy you within my ability."

Gu Ranle sighed and shook his head.

"You can't give me what I want, but I can give you what you want."

"..."

"Just tell me how much it is, and I'll lend it to you, interest-free. Isn't that good enough?"

"..."

"Don't even think about getting married. The men in your world are not my type."

"Our world?"

Li Shenzhi accurately caught the loophole in her words.
