So not only did Cherie Chung recognize Pansy Ho, but Rosamund Kwan also recognized her, which is why she suddenly stopped moving forward.
It's just that Liu Xiaobao and He Chaoqiong's relationship was not made public, so Guan Zhilin and Zhong Chuhong were unaware of it.
Guan Zhilin dared not go forward again, simply because she was afraid that if she went up, she would be outshone by He Chaoqiong, which would make her look bad in front of Liu Xiaobao and would be a loss. Therefore, Guan Zhilin wisely did not follow.
Hearing Chung Chor-hung's words, Kwan Chi-lam felt a little disappointed but not surprised. She simply said to Chung Chor-hung...
"Boss Bao is the owner of Tianbao Group. With the strength of Tianbao Group, it's not surprising that he knows He Chaoqiong! By the way, Sister Hong, you just said that He Chaoqiong is the owner of this gambling ship?"
Chung Chor-hung nodded: "Yes, there's been a rumor in Las Vegas lately that Pansy Ho got a gambling license, and this gambling ship is hers. Also, I heard that she's building a new casino hotel in Las Vegas. Why are you asking about this, Zhizhi?"
"It's nothing, Sister Hong, I was just curious!"
Guan Zhilin casually replied to Zhong Chuhong with this sentence, and then stared thoughtfully at the door where Liu Xiaobao and He Chaoqiong's figures disappeared.
At that moment, Liu Xiaobao and He Chaoqiong had already entered the elevator.
Liu Xiaobao finally breathed a sigh of relief when the elevator doors closed and he didn't see Guan Zhilin follow him in.
Seeing Liu Xiaobao's appearance, He Chaoqiong couldn't help but ask curiously, "Honey, have you run into some trouble?"
Liu Xiaobao did not reveal his marital relationship with He Chaoqiong to Guan Zhilin and the others before, not because he had any feelings for Guan Zhilin and deliberately wanted to hide it, but because he did not want to affect the He family and He Chaoqiong's plans in Hong Kong.
Therefore, Liu Xiaobao did not want He Chaoqiong to let his small personal matter affect the overall situation, so he just gave He Chaoqiong a casual reply.
"No, I just gambled at the casino and won a little money, so I'm a little excited!"
As he spoke, Liu Xiaobao deliberately pointed to the pile of chips that Su Jie was holding.
Seeing the pile of chips, He Chaoqiong didn't ask any more questions. She just chuckled and said, "You've won quite a bit, but honey, the casino's money is all yours. What's the point of you winning your own money? Our casino doesn't need people to come and boost our popularity!"
Liu Xiaobao didn't explain much, just grinned and said, "I was just bored, so I played a couple of rounds to try it out. But it felt pretty good to win. By the way, Chaoqiong, are you done with your work?"
He Chaoqiong shook her head with a wry smile: "No, there are still two more floors of casino to inspect, and I also need to inspect all the guest rooms and the lower deck. This is the first voyage of the 'Treasure Ship,' and I don't want any problems to occur. I might be busy until very late. Honey, you should rest first and don't wait for me!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaobao disregarded the presence of Su Jie and the three female bodyguards from the Phoenix Group in the elevator. He hugged He Chaoqiong with some tenderness and kissed her on the forehead.
Liu Xiaobao knew that He Chaoqiong was a career-oriented woman, so he did not stop her from pursuing her career. He only told her not to overwork herself because he felt sorry for her.
"Honey, my career is important, but not as important as you. Don't push yourself too hard. You must take care of your health. If you can't handle it, don't force yourself. You must go back to your room and rest immediately!"
He Chaoqiong nodded, her eyes filled with emotion: "Okay, I understand. I'll go take care of things now. Honey, you should go back to your room and rest!"
After He Chaoqiong finished speaking, disregarding Su Jie and the others standing nearby, she kissed Liu Xiaobao in front of them, and then walked out of the elevator on another floor of the casino.
Of course, after He Chaoqiong left, the three female bodyguards from the Phoenix Group who were responsible for protecting her also went out, leaving only Liu Xiaobao and Su Jie in the elevator.
At this moment, Liu Xiaobao turned to look at Su Jie, and was about to say something, but Su Jie spoke first.
“Mr. Bao, I was wrong. I misspoke earlier. But what happened just now really can’t be blamed on me. I did warn you that if you’re on the same ship, unless you stay in your room, the chances of running into Miss Guan are very high. It was you who insisted on going to the restaurant to eat.”
Hearing Su Jie say this, Liu Xiaobao was speechless for a moment.
After all, Su Jie had indeed warned him long ago, but Liu Xiaobao hadn't paid attention, which is why he went to the restaurant for dinner. If he had invited Guan Zhilin to his room for dinner, he wouldn't have run into her.
So Liu Xiaobao really didn't have a legitimate reason to refute Su Jie, but he still said, "Luckily I got rid of her today, but don't you dare curse me again, or next time I'll definitely find a few women to break your vow to remain chaste for love!"
Su Jie is a fearless guy. He wasn't afraid when facing thousands of people from the seven major gangs at Longxing Teahouse. The only thing he was afraid of was what Liu Xiaobao said.
Therefore, Su Jie was truly frightened. He immediately shut his mouth and stopped talking, nervously watching the elevator door, afraid that he would run into Guan Zhilin again when the elevator door opened.
Fortunately, I did not run into Kwan Chi-lam again all the way up to the top-floor luxury suite at 2.9.
Back in his room, Liu Xiaobao let out a sigh of relief, feeling a bit shaken: "I'm finally back. From now on, I won't leave my room until we reach Pujiang."
Su Jie asked Liu Xiaobao curiously, "Isn't that boring, Boss Bao? You didn't take advantage of her without giving her anything in return, did you? Otherwise, why are you so afraid to see that Miss Guan?"
Liu Xiaobao couldn't help but roll his eyes at Su Jie.
"Get lost! What do you know? Some women are like leeches, once they stick to you, you can't get rid of them. Guan Zhilin is that kind of woman, and I don't want her clinging to me! Anyway, let's just be bored. I'm not planning on going out anymore. If you want to go out and have fun, go ahead. I won't stop you!"
Chapter 202 Damn! This is too unlucky! (Please subscribe)
Liu Xiaobao truly lived up to his word.
By the time the "Jubao" arrived in the waters off Taiwan the following evening, Liu Xiaobao had not left his room again.
It wasn't until the fourth night, when the "Treasure Gathering" arrived in the waters off Huangpu River, that Liu Xiaobao finally stepped out of his room.
To be honest, staying in the room was quite boring. Besides watching TV, all he could do was read, but Liu Xiaobao managed to endure it.
Fortunately, the "Treasure Ship" has now reached the waters off Huangpu River, and Liu Xiaobao's boring days are finally coming to an end.
Moreover, he didn't completely waste these past few days; he took advantage of the time to quietly think about how to resolve Wang Mingzhu's problem.
Although he wasn't entirely confident he could win over Wang Mingzhu in the end, he at least had some ideas and plans so that he wouldn't be at a loss for how to face her after returning to Huangpu.
Since the "Treasure Ship" is a gambling ship, it is not allowed to enter docks in various places. Therefore, the "Treasure Ship" usually just anchors on the sea in the outer waters and then contacts local passenger ships to pick up and drop off gamblers.
At this moment, the "Treasure Gathering" is anchored more than 100 nautical miles away from the Huangpu River. Passenger ships arranged from Huangpu are picking up and dropping off gamblers in the Huangpu area.
01 Liu Xiaobao is now taking Su Jie to disembark from the 'Jubao' ship and take a small passenger boat back to Huangpu River.
He Chaoqiong knew that Liu Xiaobao was going back to Pujiang, so she was seeing him off at this moment.
"Honey, you'll be all alone in Pujiang, so please take good care of yourself!"
"Don't worry, honey. I grew up in Huangpu. It's you who has worked too hard on this 'Treasure Trove'. After we return, you can remotely control it from Hong Kong. If it's not necessary, you don't need to come aboard and worry about it anymore. Just leave it to the people below."
"I understand, honey, don't worry. I only came up here to personally oversee the 'Treasure Ship' on its maiden voyage. I'll definitely be staying at the company from now on, since there are other things that need my attention!"
"Okay, honey, as long as you know your limits. I trust you to handle things. Just go ahead and do it boldly. Your husband will always be there to support you."
"Thanks husband!"
"There's no need for thanks between husband and wife. Alright, wife, I have to go. If I stay any longer, it might be dawn before I get back to Pujiang."
"Okay, honey, bye-bye!" He Chaoqiong said, giving Liu Xiaobao a kiss on the lips.
With a lingering fragrance on his lips and teeth, Liu Xiaobao boarded the small passenger boat bound for Huangpu River with satisfaction.
Only after the passenger ship started moving and got further and further away from the "Jubao" did Liu Xiaobao turn around and walk from the deck into the passenger cabin.
However, as soon as Liu Xiaobao stepped into the cabin, Su Jie pulled him back from behind, and Liu Xiaobao almost tripped and fell.
Liu Xiaobao didn't reprimand Su Jie. His first thought was that Su Jie might have encountered some danger, otherwise Su Jie wouldn't have treated him like this.
But when Liu Xiaobao realized that Su Jie wasn't making any further moves, and was just looking at him in horror, Liu Xiaobao asked curiously, "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like you've seen a ghost?"
Su Jie gave a wry smile, opened his mouth, but then hesitated to speak.
Seeing this, Liu Xiaobao felt even more puzzled, but he also glared at Su Jie with dissatisfaction: "Su Jie, what are you up to? If you have something to say, just say it. If you don't, go inside the cabin and sit down. It's cold standing here in the sea breeze!"
Seeing that Liu Xiaobao was about to go into the cabin after speaking, Su Jie quickly stopped him, hesitated for a moment, and then advised, "Um... Mr. Bao, it would be better if you didn't go in!"
Liu Xiaobao asked in confusion, "Why? If we don't go in, are we just going to stand here like idiots and stand there in the sea breeze for hours?"
Su Jie hesitated for a moment before saying, "President Bao, let me make this clear first: I haven't mentioned that Miss Guan at all these past few days. If you run into her again, it's not my fault for talking nonsense!"
Liu Xiaobao rolled his eyes at Su Jie: "Su Jie, what exactly do you want to say? It's cold standing here, can't you just say what you want to say?"
Su Jie took a deep breath and said, "President Bao, I just spotted Miss Guan and Miss Zhong sitting in the cabin. I don't know if I pulled you fast enough or if they saw you!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaobao glared at Su Jie again: "Why didn't you say so earlier!"
After saying that, Liu Xiaobao cautiously turned his head to peek into the cabin. As soon as he peeked out, he saw a woman standing in front of him. Looking up, he saw Guan Zhilin, the last person he wanted to see.
Damn! That's so unlucky! I should never have peeked!
Liu Xiaobao couldn't help but curse inwardly, but he knew that he couldn't hide it anymore. After all, this small passenger boat was much smaller than the "Jubao" ship, and there was nowhere for him to hide even if he wanted to.
So now that Guan Zhilin had cornered him, Liu Xiaobao didn't turn around and run away anymore. He asked Guan Zhilin with great surprise, "Eh? Miss Guan, what are you doing here?"
Guan Zhilin smiled and said, "Didn't President Bao just try to enter the cabin, but then came back out when he saw me?"
Seeing that Guan Zhilin was being so blunt, Liu Xiaobao thought to himself that Guan Zhilin was going to kill the conversation, so he didn't need to give Guan Zhilin any more face.
But just as Liu Xiaobao was about to confront Guan Zhilin directly, he saw Zhong Chuhong also walk out of the cabin.
Before Liu Xiaobao could even speak, Zhong Chuhong exclaimed, "It really is President Bao! Zhizhi, your eyes are sharp! President Bao only peeked out for a moment, and you recognized him!"
From Zhong Chuhong's words, Liu Xiaobao realized that, just as Su Jie had said, Guan Zhilin had spotted him the moment he entered the cabin.
The appearance of Cherie Chung made Liu Xiaobao swallow back the words he was about to say.
The reason is the same as before. After all, he had a relationship with Guan Zhilin. Although he didn't like Guan Zhilin, there was no need for him to embarrass her in front of outsiders. That would be too unmanly.
So after Chung Chu-hung finished speaking, Liu Xiaobao greeted her with a smile: "Miss Chung, I didn't expect to see you here. But this ship is heading to the Huangpu River. Are you and Miss Guan also going to the Huangpu River?"
Chung Chu-hung looked at Liu Xiaobao with a puzzled expression: "Huh? Didn't you and Zhizhi agree to take us to Huangpu River?"
Liu Xiaobao was taken aback when he heard this. He hadn't seen Guan Zhilin since they parted ways at the casino. When did they make plans again?
Liu Xiaobao looked at Guan Zhilin with a questioning gaze, and Guan Zhilin spoke.
"It seems you've forgotten, Mr. Bao. Why don't you have this ship take us back to the gambling vessel?"
Chapter 203 Guan Meiren is going all out, relentlessly pursuing Bao Zong (Please subscribe)
"It seems you've forgotten, Mr. Bao. Why don't you have this ship take us back to the gambling ship?"
Upon hearing Guan Zhilin's words, Liu Xiaobao immediately realized that he had been tricked by Guan Zhilin again.
By this time, the "Jubao" had already left its original position after dropping off the gamblers on the Huangpu River. Even if they went back to chase after it in their small passenger boat, how could they possibly catch up with the "Jubao"?
