During the banquet, Bai Yaxuan stayed by her side the whole time, taking extra care of her, and everyone noticed.

Ren Yun, Meng Jiajia, Kang Lingling, these pampered daughters of influential families, all harbored fantasies about Bai Yaxuan. They hoped Gu Xiaoxi was still foolish, thinking that even if she got married, she could still get divorced, or at the very least, they could assassinate Gu Xiaoxi.

If she died! They would have the chance to marry Bai Yaxuan.

But at the moment, Bai Yaxuan took exceptional care of her, not wanting her to feel the slightest discomfort.

Just slightly intoxicated, he bid everyone goodbye and took her home.

It was clear that his affection for her had reached the extreme. If they still made things difficult for Gu Xiaoxi, wouldn’t that be openly opposing Bai Yaxuan?

Even if they had a hundred times the courage, no one would dare.

On the way home.

Gu Xiaoxi sat in the car, feeling dizzy and uncomfortable.

She vaguely heard her phone ring, she reached out trying to grab it, but Bai Yaxuan got it first.

Bai Yaxuan opened the message and glanced at it. It was from Bai Yu, "Ignore her message from Bai Yu."

Gu Xiaoxi squinted and glared at Bai Yaxuan, "Are you overstepping your bounds by checking my phone too?"

"What? Is there something in your phone that I can’t see?" Bai Yaxuan raised an eyebrow, his fair fingers dodged the phone teasingly in front of Gu Xiaoxi.

The woman’s cheeks flushed with intoxication, her eyes hazy with drunkenness. Even when she was angry, the annoyed look on her face was endearing enough to soften anyone’s heart.

"I’m not showing you my phone, give it back to me now. Otherwise, I’ll get angry," Gu Xiaoxi gritted her teeth, emboldened by the alcohol. It was worth fighting him over; she couldn’t be bullied and restrained all the time.

She was uncomfortable!

Bai Yaxuan saw that she was indeed drunk and didn’t want to upset her any further.

She had been pretty well-behaved tonight, and the banquet went well.

Gu Xiaoxi snatched back her phone and opened the message, it indeed was from Bai Yu.

[I was planning to have a few more drinks with you, your tolerance is too low. You got drunk on so little. We’re planning to go out tomorrow, do you want to come?]

[Yes!]

Without hesitation, Gu Xiaoxi responded to the message.

Here, she had to go back to school; her previous learning wasn’t enough, so she was going to attend school in a few days. Before that, she wanted to make more friends.

Moreover, it was a chance to get away from Bai Yaxuan’s gaze. She certainly wouldn’t miss a good opportunity like this.

[All right then! Have a good rest tonight and see you tomorrow morning at eight!]

Gu Xiaoxi looked at the message on the phone and fell asleep in her seat, cuddling the phone.

...

The next day when she woke up, Bai Yaxuan was already gone from the room.

Gu Xiaoxi rubbed her somewhat groggy head, and Qiao Wan immediately brought her some warm water.

Gu Xiaoxi gulped down a cup and stretched out languidly after getting up.

"Qiao Wan, what time is it?" Gu Xiaoxi hadn’t forgotten about Bai Yu inviting her out last night.

"Miss, it’s eight o’clock!"

"Eight o’clock..."

Gu Xiaoxi widened her eyes and hurriedly looked around. "Where’s my phone?"

It was over, she had slept through and forgotten.

Bai Yu said to meet at eight, and she had just gotten out of bed at eight o’clock.

Qiao Wan quickly went to the bedside table and took out the phone.

Gu Xiaoxi unlocked her phone to find a message from Bai Yu.

"We’re waiting for you at the seaside pier, Xiao Xi, when will you wake up!"

Gu Xiaoxi, reading the message, hastily returned Bai Yu’s call.

On the other side of the phone, Bai Yu urged immediately, "Gu Xiaoxi, you’ve finally woken up. Are you ready? When are you coming? We’re all waiting for you!"

"Waiting for me?" Gu Xiaoxi felt embarrassed, "Never mind, go ahead, I won’t come!"

Making people wait was indeed embarrassing.

The devil knew she hadn’t set an alarm last night and fell asleep in the car.

"Hey, who would care since you are so prestigious. Just hurry up, we are waiting for you." Bai Yu rushed her, "Fast, we can’t leave without you."

After saying that, the call was ended with a busy tone.

Gu Xiaoxi hurriedly turned around to her dressing room, then busied herself with washing her face, brushing her teeth, and combing her hair.

By the time she emerged, Qiao Wan was waiting at the door, holding a box in her hands.

"Miss, this is what His Excellency asked me to pack for you, it contains everything you need. His Excellency instructed you to have a great time and to return before school starts."

"Okay!" Gu Xiaoxi felt for the first time that Bai Yaxuan was quite warm-hearted. If he was good to her, she would repay him in the future.

She picked up the box and walked out, where the driver had long been waiting at the door.

Without hesitation, Gu Xiaoxi got into the car.

She arrived at the designated beach, where several yachts were docked.

Among them, Bai Yu and Dongfang Le had already been waiting for her on the deck. "My dear lady, you’re finally here."

"Sorry I’m late." Gu Xiaoxi was filled with apologies.

Bai Yu eyed her, with a sleazy smile, "My brother said you got drunk and made a scene last night. He let you sleep in a bit more this morning, so he told us to wait for you. Xiao Xi, tell me, how did you ’make a scene’ with my brother last night?"

Gu Xiaoxi didn’t catch the implication in her words at first and replied indifferently, "I was drunk and went to sleep after I got back!"

"Oh... went to sleep..." Dongfang Le snickered on the side.

Gu Xiaoxi suddenly caught on, stepped forward, and pinched Bai Yu’s waist with a dark expression, "What are you thinking about? I was drunk, went back and slept..."

"No need to explain, no need to explain, I get it. You slept with my brother!" Bai Yu patted Gu Xiaoxi’s shoulder, took her box, and pushed her into the cabin.

Grinding her teeth, Gu Xiaoxi glared at her, "As I said, we didn’t do anything!"

"Even if you did do something, it’s okay, it’s only natural... we all understand!" Bai Yu was all smiles, clearly thinking that she and Bai Yaxuan were deeply in love.

Gu Xiaoxi, with a cold face, found this woman’s thoughts dirty enough. The more she tried to explain, the more indistinguishable her words became.

In the end, she stopped talking.

Once inside the cabin, Gu Xiaoxi found there were others.

She vaguely remembered several of them from the party last night, where she had seen them.

"Come on, Xiao Xi, let me introduce you to some of the lords of our circle," said Bai Yu, wearing a leather jacket that revealed a sexy midriff. Luckily, the weather was warming up today, so everyone was heading out to sea for fun without fear of the cold.

Bai Yu pointed first to a sexy, mature man sitting in the center of the sofa.

The man was smoking, with an alluring beauty in his arms and a pair of jet-black eyes that seemed to give off the feeling of a demon descending upon the earth.

"Luo Yiyan, a doctor!"

Gu Xiaoxi nodded, simply greeting with a "Hello!"

The man nodded back and continued to smoke!

"You must have seen Tang Youling last night!" Bai Yu said, pointing to a man wearing headphones, leaning against the windowsill with a smile, gentle and about twenty-four years old, with a very aristocratic demeanor.

Gu Xiaoxi remembered Bai Yaxuan introducing him, it seems like he was his finance minister or something.

The last gentleman in the hall, Fu Zhe!

Dressed in an army green tee and camouflage pants, holding a wine glass, with Mo Lan by his side. They seemed to be quite friendly, both turning their heads to look at Gu Xiaoxi, raising their glasses to her.

Gu Xiaoxi nodded and smiled, acknowledging everyone’s greeting.

"Inside there are also Chen Zhi, siblings Li Jiani and Ren Yun. People you have met before. Now that everyone is here, we’re about to set sail," Bai Yu cheerfully waved to a bodyguard nearby, signalling them to start the yacht.

Surprised, Gu Xiaoxi looked at her and asked, "Where are we going? For how many days?"

"Three days, a trip at sea! For the exact plan, we’ll visit three islands.

Then, we’ll head to a neighboring island nation to spend a day there, before flying back home directly," Bai Yu patted Gu Xiaoxi’s shoulder and said with a laugh, "Don’t worry, there are so many people on the boat, we’ll all protect you, you should be safe. "

"Yeah, with us here, you don’t have to worry," Dongfang Le also said with a laugh.

Gu Xiaoxi found a room and put down her things.

Actually, she hadn’t thought much about coming out to play; she just wanted to stay away from Bai Yaxuan.

She simply couldn’t get along with him properly. Better to go out and have fun than to see each other and get annoyed every day, plus she could make friends.

However, on this ship at least four people were Bai Yaxuan’s men...

One morning, Gu Xiaoxi stayed inside the ship, not going out.

Everyone just assumed she was tired and resting in the cabin.

At lunchtime, Gu Xiaoxi finally came out of the cabin. On the deck, a table was set up with an array of pastries and fruits.

"Yo, our First Lady finally deigns to come out," Luo Yiyan whistled from afar towards Gu Xiaoxi.

Looking over, Gu Xiaoxi saw Luo Yiyan holding a woman, a cigarette in his mouth, and even holding a fishing rod...

The boat was moving; could he actually catch any fish?

Show off!

"Mr. Luo, do you need something?" Gu Xiaoxi walked up nonchalantly, took a seat at the table, and grabbed a bunch of grapes.

"Is your phone off?" asked Luo Yiyan.
