"Is this the Princess of the Mo Family, Mo Shu?"
"As the rumors say, her presence is indeed remarkable, her aura, her demeanor, it doesn’t resemble a princess."
"Then what does she look like?"
The person’s eyes glittered with fervor, his voice unrestrained as he looked at Mo Shu and declared emphatically, "Like a queen!"
Many who heard this word couldn’t help but look again at Mo Shu, and the same thought arose within them.
Not a princess, but a queen!
Many of the visitors coming aboard brought bodyguards.
Thus, the rooms on the ship were categorized into several classes, with the highest being on the third deck.
Mo Shu’s room was a small duplex, with a living room and two nanny rooms on the first floor, while the floor above was the owner’s private secret space.
The interior and space were even better than a regular five-star suite; drawing back the curtains revealed 180-degree panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows that allowed one to see the distant horizon where sky met sea.
Opening the window, the sea breeze mixed with a fishy scent brushed against the face, the surface of the water shimmering with phosphorescence. Mo Shu squinted her eyes and asked Ji Nan, "What’s the agenda for today?"
"The dinner starts at five-thirty and formal attire is required," Ji Nan replied. "The dinner will last until eight o’clock, followed by a meet-and-greet dance."
In the original story, Gu Wenjuan had been so tormented by seasickness that she lacked the strength to do anything and spent the entire first day on board lying in her room. It wasn’t until the effect of the seasickness medication fully kicked in that she had the energy to get out of bed and accompany Yu Siqiao to the evening events. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ novel·fiɾe·net
Only she didn’t attend the meet-and-greet dance.
A deep and significant horn sound resonated. Mo Shu closed the window and asked, "When is the masked ball?"
"The day after tomorrow evening," Ji Nan flipped through the itinerary and said, "Tomorrow morning there’s a networking session, and in the afternoon you can enjoy the amenities on the cruise, including bars, KTV, as well as shopping and relaxation areas."
"The afternoon the day after tomorrow, there will be an auction. The auction items include some designers’ private collections and original design sketches, as well as three-year or five-year employment contracts with the designers," Ji Nan explained. "However, most of these designers are the ones left over after the well-known ones have been recruited with hefty salaries."
Mo Shu’s gaze returned from the sea, and she looked at Ji Nan with a half-smile, "Why did you skip over tomorrow evening’s auction?"
Ji Nan was taken aback and lowered her voice, "There’s no auction scheduled for tomorrow evening."
Mo Shu chuckled softly, walked over, and looked her straight in the eye, "Are you sure?"
Ji Nan felt her heart race under Mo Shu’s intense gaze. She hesitated for a moment but finally confessed honestly, "The Chairman said that an auction like that isn’t something a pregnant woman should attend."
"So, you decided to keep it from me?" Mo Shu snatched the stack of itineraries from her hand, flipped through it, and indeed found an invitation.
The reason many people came aboard this ship was because of this auction.
Of course, not everyone qualified to receive this invitation.
Out of possibly thousands on the ship, those who received this invitation probably didn’t exceed one percent.
Yu Siqiao had one, and naturally, so did she.
The items sold at this auction were ones that could not see the light of day.
In the original story, Yu Siqiao had spent a lot of money here, but he did not take Gu Wenjuan along with him.
Because Gu Wenjuan was too delicate, she should not be exposed to such sinister things.
And unfortunately for him, Mo Shu found this very interesting.
Noticing Mo Shu’s interest, Ji Nan couldn’t help but ask, "The Chairman expressly instructed me not to tell you; how did you find out?"
