She wanted to marry, and he was anxious

Chapter 122 The calm before the storm

In the bustling banquet with people coming and going, Ye Zhihan's impulsive behavior just now was entirely due to her momentary heat of the moment. Now she has come to her senses and will not agree to it no matter what.

Ji Hanzhou held her tightly in his arms, and Ye Zhihan felt as if her whole body was sticking to him.

Noticing the looks from people around her, her face unconsciously turned red with embarrassment.

"Oh, there are so many people watching us, please let me go." Ye Zhihan said coquettishly.

Ji Hanzhou regretted bringing such a beautiful wife out. He even thought that he should hide her at home. His voice became hoarse and low, as if carrying some suppressed desire: "Let's go back to the room now."

Ye Zhihan almost dropped her jaw when she heard this. She pinched Ji Hanzhou's arm hard, trying to make him come to his senses: "Do you want to listen to what you are saying? The banquet has just begun!" She almost squeezed out these words from between her teeth.

On the other side, Wen Yining looked at the gorgeous fireworks not far away and couldn't help but exclaimed: "How beautiful!"

Shen Yi stood quietly behind her at some point and asked softly, "Do you like fireworks?"

Wen Yining knew it was him without looking back. She had witnessed Shen Yi's shamelessness in the past two days.

Shen Yi stood beside Wen Yining, looking at the fireworks and said, "These fireworks are really beautiful. I'll make one for you one day."

Wen Yining turned around with a smile still on her face: "No need, these fireworks are indeed beautiful, but I have seen the most beautiful fireworks, and in my heart there is nothing more beautiful than that."

Shen Yi lost his composure immediately after hearing this, and asked rapidly, "When? With whom? You've only seen a few fireworks, and you dare to say you've seen the most beautiful ones?"

Wen Yining was too lazy to pay attention to him and turned back to the banquet hall.

However, Shen Yi followed her relentlessly like a follower, determined to get an answer.

He now felt an unprecedented sense of crisis in his heart. Ever since he confessed his love, Shen Yi seemed to have opened the door to a new world. He had always kept his love for Wen Yining hidden before, but now he was boldly expressing his love. If Wen Yining had not nodded in agreement, he would have wanted to declare his sovereignty to the whole world.

The fireworks continued to bloom for a long, long time, and there seemed to be no sign of stopping.

The guests gradually returned to the dance floor, and Shen Yi gentlemanly invited Wen Yining to dance.

"No, I don't want to dance." Wen Yining refused decisively.

Shen Yi glanced around, and while Wen Yining wasn't paying attention, he dragged her into the dance floor.

He held Wen Yining's hand with one hand and put his other arm around her waist, muttering, "I understand now. I have to be overbearing with you. The gentlemanly way doesn't work on you at all. If you had told me earlier that you liked this, I wouldn't have pretended."

Wen Yining was furious and stepped hard on Shen Yi's foot, warning him, "If you keep talking nonsense, I won't just step on your foot!"

Finally, the song ended, and Wen Yining couldn't wait to try to get rid of Shen Yi.

Coincidentally, she met Ye Zhihan who had just escaped from Ji Hanzhou's arms.

The two's eyes lit up instantly, and Ye Zhihan quickly said to Ji Hanzhou: "You go and do your own thing, I'll go play with An Ning."

Wen Yining also looked at Shen Yi, who was like a dog-skin plaster behind him, and said, "Why, you want to listen to the private conversations between girls?"

Shen Yi touched the tip of his nose and left awkwardly.

After getting rid of those clingy men, Ye Zhihan and Wen Yining held hands, stepped on high heels, and found a relatively quiet place to chat like two happy butterflies.

Looking at the sweet interaction between Ji Yunxi and Jiang Zhexu not far away, the two of them couldn't help but laugh excitedly.

After a while, Ye Zhihan felt that she had drunk a little too much, so she said to Wen Yining, "A Ning, I want to go to the bathroom." Wen Yining nodded and went with her.

Just as she was about to reach the bathroom door, Wen Yining suddenly bumped into a hurried waiter, and the red liquid instantly spilled out, wetting her light blue dress, and the originally beautiful dress suddenly became messy.

The waiter was frightened by this sudden situation and turned pale. He apologized repeatedly: "Miss, I'm so sorry. I left in a hurry just now and didn't see you two. I'm really sorry."

Wen Yining looked at the waiter's panicked look, and thought that he didn't mean it, so she didn't want to pursue it too much, and said, "It's okay, go and do your thing, and be more careful next time."

But the waiter still seemed to feel bad. He sincerely offered to pay for his mistake: "Why don't you leave me your contact information? I'll pay for the cleaning of your dress. I'm really sorry."

At this time, Ye Zhihan said: "Aning, I have extra clothes. Let me take you to change into one first."

Wen Yining thought it was not a big deal, so she said to Ye Zhihan, "Don't worry, go to the bathroom first and change your clothes later." Then she glanced at the apologetic waiter and said to Ye Zhihan, "I'll wait for you outside."

Ye Zhihan nodded and walked quickly into the bathroom.

Wen Yining was pestered by the waiter for a long time, and finally gave him a phone number. After the waiter left, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, she seemed to remember something, and when she came to her senses, she found that Ye Zhihan seemed to have been in the bathroom for a long time.

"Hanbao, are you okay? Hanbao? Hanhan!" Wen Yining shouted as she quickened her pace and walked into the bathroom.

However, the bathroom was empty and eerily quiet.

Wen Yining was suddenly panicked. She wanted to make a phone call, but found that she couldn't find her cell phone.

Her body began to sweat uncontrollably and her mind was in a mess. Without time to think, she ran towards the banquet hall with unsteady steps and almost fell several times along the way.

Her soiled dress and her panic-stricken expression instantly attracted the attention of many guests.

Her eyes looked around the banquet hall in panic, but she couldn't see the familiar figure. Her heart gradually collapsed, and her eyes were filled with tears, as if she was about to cry out loud in the next second.

Shen Yi was the first to notice that Wen Yining was acting strange. He immediately ran to Wen Yining and asked anxiously, "Wen Yining, are you hurt? What happened? Who bullied you?"

Wen Yining seemed to have seen a life-saving straw at this moment. She cried and said to Shen Yi in a trembling voice: "Hanhan is missing, take me to find President Ji, quickly!"

Shen Yi did not dare to delay for even a second and immediately brought Wen Yining to Ji Hanzhou.

Wen Yining was so anxious that she was about to cry. She said in a sobbing voice: "Boss Ji, go find Hanhan quickly. Hanhan is missing."

When Ji Hanzhou heard the news, he stood up suddenly. His movement was so big that he hit the wine glass on the table. The wine glass fell to the ground with a crisp sound of breaking.

But he couldn't care about all that at the moment. He immediately ordered the entire cruise ship to be blocked and strode to the monitoring room.

Wen Yining was extremely anxious and didn't dare to stop for a moment, so he followed immediately.

Shen Yi was relatively rational. He signaled the music to stop, and then said loudly to the guests: "Sorry to bother you all. A guest just lost his family heirloom jewelry necklace, so you may see security personnel later. Please don't panic and continue to enjoy the banquet."

After explaining everything, Shen Yi rushed to the monitoring room without stopping.

Based on the clues provided by Wen Yining, Ji Hanzhou quickly intercepted the surveillance footage at the bathroom door.

Two suspicious persons appeared in the surveillance footage, one was the waiter who bumped into Wen Yining, and the other was the cleaner who appeared shortly after Ye Zhihan entered the bathroom.
