"Mistweed..."
The young girl stood behind the railings on the second floor, holding a small pair of binoculars. As she looked down at the greasy-haired, middle-aged man, she couldn't help but utter those words under her breath.
This man was her father's carefully chosen candidate for her blind date!
Just one look was enough to turn her stomach.
Frowning, she looked through the binoculars again, hoping to catch sight of something interesting. However, before she found anything good, she noticed the businessmen near the greasy middle-aged man looking back at her.
She quickly lowered the binoculars, a shiver running down her spine.
Damn it, she was caught.
With a quick decision, she took out her phone and rapidly sent a message to the older man: "Apologies, Mr. Jia. I was forced by my father to come here for this meeting. The truth is, I'm already five months pregnant, and I don't even know who the father is! I don't think I'm eligible to marry you! I'm sorry!"
As she spoke, she pointed at her slightly bulging belly towards Mr. Jia on the first floor.
After reading the message, Mr. Jia cast a few glances upstairs at her, his eyes eventually settling on her belly.
Then, he made a gesture to his bodyguards.
"Let's talk face to face," was Mr. Jia's reply to her.
As Bai Xiaoshi saw the men push through the crowd and walk straight towards her, she turned on her heels and ran.
Were they trying to capture her?
Even those who were pregnant were not spared? Were his tastes that unique?
She feared that today was more than just a simple blind date. She suspected that she had been sold out by her own father!
Originally, she didn't want to come today, but due to some special reasons, she hurried here.
She was scampering around in panic, ripping off her pink wig and tossing away her sunglasses and binoculars.
She didn't want to get married to a man old enough to be her father through a blind date! Too terrifying!
In a hasten, she ran towards the guest rooms on the third floor.
This was a cruise ship, and they were at sea. Besides finding a hiding place, there was nowhere she could run!
The third floor was obviously less populated, so she tried her best to sneak into a quiet and hidden place.
The people behind her were pursuing her more and more relentlessly, and she could even hear the sound of their footsteps catching up.
As she passed a corridor nearby, she saw a few men walk out of a room.
She vaguely heard them say a few words, and didn't quite understand.
She was at her wit's end!
Instead of getting caught and going on a blind date with an old man, she would rather die!
She deliberated nervously for a few seconds, and then ran towards the men head on.
The man leading the group was dressed in a suit and looked pleasant at first glance. Without having time to think more about it, she grabbed him and whispered, "Handsome, help a girl in a jam!"
"Help! It's a matter of life and death!"
As she grabbed the man's arm, the bodyguards behind him reached towards their lower backs in unison.
They had just noticed the woman in the surveillance video was the same woman standing before them, the one wielding a telescope and a cell phone, snapping photos barrage-like everywhere, and attempting to sneak into the VIP room above. Highly suspicious activities!
Just as they were about to apprehend her, she unexpectedly fell right into their trap!
Feeling incredibly anxious and desperate, Bai Xiaoshi was mired in obliviousness, unaware of her precarious situation. She plunged herself into the man's arms, aggressively pushing him, into the room whose door hadn't been fully closed, pinning him against the wall, her whole body pressed to his.
Removing the fake pregnancy belly strapped around her waist, she aggressively tore off the hem of her long skirt and tossed it into a dark corner.
The man raised his brows, stunned as he witnessed this series of baffling movements by Bai Xiaoshi.
"I clearly saw them just now, where is everyone? Could they be hiding in your room?" Bai Xiaoshi overheard the puzzled voice outside of the slightly ajar door.
The voices were just behind her.
Without a moment to think, Bai Xiaoshi, in the instantaneous moment the door was being pushed open, stood on her tiptoes, and precisely and forcefully sealed his lips with hers.
Yet, she practically dragged his hand and wrapped it aroung her slender waist.
