But she just couldn’t fight with him. Every time she stormed off in anger, yet again... Audrey was very annoyed, she had never met anyone in the world who could completely beat her !
Actually, Fatty’s thoughts were simple: without desires, one is strong. I don’t rely on you to survive, nor do I want to date you, why should I take crap from you? Anyone daring to play tricks in front of me shall be knocked down!
The modifications of [Apollo] were essentially complete. The modifications that could be done during the journey were only these, if further modification was needed, they’d have to undergo large-scale overhaul at a maintenance dock. But that’s clearly unnecessary, as of now, this ship is enough to handle all smuggling situations as long as it doesn’t run head-on into pirates or military vessels. Once the radar detects enemies, evasion can basically guarantee escape.
The modification of [Apollo], apart from killing time during the journey, was most importantly for giving Ann Lei another chance to return safely to the Federation. Thinking of Ann Lei made Fatty’s heart ache faintly. Whether it was Ann Lei or Milan, he had no choice. Milan had made her choice and he couldn’t refuse. And Ann Lei, in the end, would make her choice. No matter what, since he promised Mr. Ann, he must bring Ann Lei back safely even if it kills him. Protecting her is his responsibility, whether near or far, as a lover or friend. This responsibility is something he can never abandon.
[Apollo] flew alone through the vast universe. After the modification was done, Tian Xingjian seemed to have no goals again and started frequenting the bar. Luckily, no crew member dared to provoke him. Everyone knew that Eric had been exiled for offending this Fatty who lived next door to the ship captain. The Power Cabin supervisor Ivan always treated this Fatty with utmost respect. No crew member dared to risk their life on this smuggling ship, no matter how they couldn’t understand why Old Ivan and Audrey favored this Fatty so much.
Audrey sat next to Fatty, and they were the only two in the bar. With a week left until they reached Mezrich, Audrey decided to seize this chance to make this Fatty named Zhang Yuan stay. If he stayed, the benefits were obvious, and as for harms, at most she would die from anger two years earlier.
The red wine swirled in the clear glass, Tian Xingjian looked at the woman holding a goblet. Her charm was rather unique, sometimes making it difficult to tell her age, whether she was a naïve girl or a mature charm-filled woman. Especially when drinking, Audrey naturally exuded a mature attraction, full of grace and allure. Maybe it was a temperament developed from traveling far and wide on the smuggling ship since childhood.
Seeing Zhang Yuan staring at her intently, Audrey felt slightly embarrassed and annoyed. She glared fiercely at Fatty, saying, "What are you looking at? I dare you to marry me!"
Fatty hastily drank his wine. Ever since he had flirted with Audrey only to have her flirt back unrestrainedly, Audrey had totally mastered his weakness. Like a legendary hero who fears dragons, he has the intent but no guts. Even though he looks lecherous all day and likes to "flirt", if you proactively offer it to him, he runs faster than a rabbit.
Audrey gave a satisfied smile, cast an even more coquettish glance at Fatty, and softly said, "Brother Zhang..." Before she finished her sentence, goosebumps already covered the floor from Fatty, who quickly waved his hand and said, "Speak properly if you have something to say." Audrey didn’t relent, lightly nudged Fatty with her elbow, and dragged out her voice to act coy, only to see his eyes bulge in a fierce glare as he shouted, "Use that voice again, and I’ll beat you!"
Audrey stomped her foot in anger. She really had no way to deal with this Fatty who didn’t hesitate to hit women. This guy cared nothing about gentlemanly demeanor, in fact, he had no manners at all. When provoked, he would give a good beating, and where he chose to hit... was truly unacceptable. Perverted maniac! Audrey dismissed the thought of continuing with this risky game.
"Fatty, what are you going to Mezrich for?" Audrey twirled her wine glass, this time she was straightforward.
Fatty didn’t care how her mood changed, glaring, said, "What’s it to you? Silly woman, just mind your ship."
"You..." Audrey really wanted to beat this Fatty, he was just too irritating! Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs NovᴇlFir(e).nᴇt
After sulking for a while, Audrey thought of the phrase "silly woman," her face reddened inexplicably, she shot Fatty a glance and said, "You think I want to ask? It was Uncle Ivan who asked me to."
Fatty froze and asked, "What does that old ghost want?"
Audrey slightly furrowed her brows and said, "Uncle Ivan doesn’t want to run anymore. He’s pushing seventy and wants to find a place to retire."
"And what’s it got to do with me? That old ghost should have saved quite a bit over these years, enough for his retirement." Fatty said with a smirk.
Looking at Fatty’s annoying grin, Audrey responded snappily, "You knew what I wanted to say..."
Fatty shook his head and said, "I don’t know, could it be..." He widened his eyes in terror and said, "What plans do you have for me?"
Seeing his suggestive look, Audrey spat and stayed silent, her face reddening which confirmed it.
Fatty shook his head grandly and said, "I’m not consenting to be a mountain stronghold husband, spare me, big boss."
