Chapter 296: It Was Her After All

wits just now. She was so close, if it had been just a little later, she might never have seen me again. 。How could she be so foolish, is it worth doing this to save him Her heart was touched, Gu Chi...Pu Yun Gu Xia is absolutely telling the truth.

For Zhou Shuangqing, he definitely has a good impression of her, the kind of impression you have on the opposite sex. If it were another girl, he would have started pursuing her long ago.

But when he thought of Zhou Shuangqing's heartbroken and sorrowful appearance after her lovelorn experience, all his thoughts vanished.

It's better to let him protect that sweet girl from afar than have her fall into a relationship with him that will inevitably end in heartbreak. Letting her live a happy life is more important than anything else.

A hint of surprise flashed in Ou Yang Chu's eyes as he looked at his friend who had grown up with him. He felt like this wasn't the person he knew.

Just then, Xu Zui'ning came back from the balcony with her phone.

"I've already told Shuangqing, she'll be here soon."

Pu Yun Gu Xia was right, Zhou Shuang Qing's current residence wasn't far from the pier where this Zelda cruise docked. It was only about half an hour away, and Zhou Shuang Qing arrived directly and boarded the cruise ship.

The moment Zhou Shuangqing stepped into the cabin, her eyes widened in amazement. She exclaimed, "My goodness! This place is so luxurious and beautiful!"

Actually, Zhou Shuangqing's family was quite well-off. However, the Zhou family had always been strict in their upbringing and did not allow her to live too luxuriously. Moreover, compared to the Ou Yang family and the Pu Yun family, the Zhou family was indeed not considered anything special. Therefore, this was Zhou Shuangqing's first time boarding this luxurious Zelda cruise ship, and she was momentarily stunned by its extravagance.

Xu Zui Ning went to check Zhou Shuangqing's experimental report, while Zhou Shuangqing was curiously looking around the cruise ship room decoration.

"I've only ever seen crystal chandeliers like this on TV! They're so beautiful!"

“And this decoration style, it looks like a medieval castle! Oh, and these ceramics are so beautiful!”

"My goodness, I feel like I'm on the Titanic right now!"

Xu Zui-ning watched Zhou Shuang-qing, who was exploring everything like a child, poking and looking around. She couldn't help but smile and shake her head.

It seems like calling her over was a very good decision. Not only can she get help with her experimental report, but this little girl can also come here to play and relax.

"Double Queen, it's done!" Xu Zhuoning had already put down the computer in her hand and said to Zhou Shuangqing, who was still sighing non-stop, "I've read your experimental report carefully. There are no major problems. Just a few data points are not very accurate. I've already modified them for you. Now submitting it won't be a problem."

"Ah! Thank you so much, Zui Ning!" Zhou Shuangqing beamed with happiness and gratitude, rushing forward to hug Xu Zui Ning. At this moment, the cruise ship had already begun to slowly sail out of the harbor, accompanied by mournful whistles.

Zhou Shuangqing and Xu Zui'ning were just about to submit their experimental report when a rhythmic knock on the door suddenly sounded outside the room.

Puyun Gu Xia stood up and walked over, opening the door. Standing outside, with a respectful expression, was none other than the general manager of the Zelda Cruise.

"Young Master Ouyang, Young Master Pu Yun, the auction of raw stones from Long Xi Sheng Jing is about to begin. I've had people prepare the best private room for you, with excellent privacy. Would you like to go now"

Ou Yang Chu told him faintly, "Let's prepare first before we go."

The general manager bowed his head respectfully and replied, "I understand. I will arrange for someone to take you there later. Absolutely no one else will know about your participation in this auction."

Ouyang Chu coldly nodded, the general manager turned and left.

Xu Zui Ning looked at Ou Yang Chu with some confusion and asked, "Preparation Do you need to prepare for an auction"

"Our disguises need to be a little more convincing," Ouyang Chu explained simply.

Even though the general manager assured him repeatedly that they would do their best to keep it a secret about Ouyang Chu participating in the Longxi Shengjing Stone Auction, Ouyang Chu decided to disguise himself slightly just in case the jewelry designer from Longxi Shengjing found anything suspicious.

Ouyang Chu brought Xu Zui Ning and the others to a beauty salon on the first floor of the cruise ship.

This Zelda cruise is a high-end luxury entertainment cruise, so the ship is equipped with everything you can think of, including restaurants, casinos, amusement parks, shopping malls, and more.

After entering the beauty salon, Ou Yang Chu and Pu Yun Gu Xia went straight to the men's area. Someone came forward and led Xu Zui Ning and Zhou Shuang Qing to two separate ladies' makeup rooms for dressing up.

Hello, I'm Rebecca, a hairstylist at this beauty salon.

Xu Zui Ning had just sat down in the dressing room when a man with heavy makeup and a seductive air sashayed over, his hips swaying.

This stylist had a meticulously styled pixie cut, but even then, it couldn't hide the alluring femininity that emanated from him. He wore exaggeratedly glamorous red lipstick and shimmering eyeshadow; he was undeniably feminine to the core.

Moreover, as a man, he chose such a feminine English name for himself.

Xu Zui-ning felt a little awkward, but she wasn't overly resistant to it. She greeted him openly, "Hello."

The male stylist named Rebecca looked up and down at Xu Zui Ning, then covered his mouth and laughed, "You little beauty."

Rebecca's words made the little sisters who were helping her look like they had swallowed a fly, their expressions utterly disgusted.

Before their eyes, Xu Zui Ning was wearing extremely exaggerated makeup. Her whole face was covered in pimples, her lipstick was applied dramatically, and her eyebrows were so thick they almost pierced into the hair on her forehead. This had nothing to do with the word "beauty"!

Xu Zui Ning also raised an eyebrow in surprise.

Just like this, he actually dares to call himself a beauty

Today's look suddenly caused her deep worry.

Luckily, she had gotten used to disguising herself. She didn't have any excessive obsession with beauty. Anyway, the purpose of their dressing up today was to ensure that they wouldn't be recognized at the auction. She was Xu Zuiying from the Medical School of Xuanqing University.

She pondered for a moment, then said, "Help me take off my makeup and style it differently, please. I want it to look as different from now as possible."

"No problem! Leave it to me, you can rest assured." Rebecca readily agreed and immediately set about removing the makeup on Xu Zui'ning's face that was hard for people to accept. Just as she picked up a cotton pad, a very sharp voice came from the doorway of the dressing room——

"Do you know who I am You dare to treat me like this! What do you mean Rebecca is already taken Don't you know I just need him to do my makeup Are you guys tired of living!"

The sound was distinctive. Xu Zui Ning listened, her brows furrowing slightly.

Wait a moment...

This voice couldn't possibly be...

Xu Zui Ning's heart skipped a beat, she had a bad feeling about this.

Just then, the bathroom door was rudely pushed open from outside.

A tall and slender figure strode in, her face now contorted with murderous intent. She completely disregarded the small group of assistants trying to block her way and charged straight in.

Xu Zuiying saw a delicate, fair face and wavy hair rushing towards her, and sighed inwardly. As expected, it was her.

The person who entered the room froze upon seeing Xu Zui'ng seated before the vanity mirror.

"Xu Zui Ning!"

Zuo Yunxin exclaimed in surprise, somewhat disbelieving. professional ethics.“Falling from such a height, he survived but his leg was broken and unusable.” The doctor’s words carried a hint of regret and helplessness as he let out a deep sigh.At first, eve...
