Chapter 211 Perform well, don't let me down
Su Zhijian watched Chen Yuqin's retreating figure, sighed softly, and felt utterly dejected.
He knew that some things required careful consideration.
But for now, he can only remain calm.
Seeing that Su Zhijian did not stop him, Zhang Daqiang smiled smugly: "Su Zhijian, you really are a coward!"
"It's laughable that he doesn't even dare to protect his own daughter!"
Su Yingqing's tears kept falling as she struggled and cried out, "Dad! Save me!"
"I don't want to go with him!"
Su Zhijian clenched his fists so tightly that his nails almost dug into his palms.
But he still didn't move, only coldly looking at Zhang Daqiang: "You can take her away, but don't regret it."
"You can't just walk into the Su family's house whenever you want."
Zhang Daqiang sneered and dragged Su Yingqing out, saying, "Regret? I, Zhang Daqiang, have never known what regret is!"
"Su Zhijian, just you wait and see, I will make your Su family pay an even greater price!"
Su Yingqing was forcibly dragged away, and her cries gradually faded outside the door.
Su Zhijian stood there, his eyes closed, his heart filled with pain and struggle.
……
A morning on Seine Island.
Sunlight streamed onto the manor's lawn, a gentle breeze carrying the salty scent of the sea.
Su Yingxue and Tan Zhengchu had just finished breakfast.
Hand in hand, they walked out of the manor, ready to begin their day's sea voyage.
Su Yingxue wore a floral print sundress and a wide-brimmed straw hat, looking fresh and charming.
She turned to look at Tan Zhengchu, her eyes full of smiles: "Why are you dressed so brightly today? I almost didn't recognize you."
Tan Zhengchu was wearing a white vest and shorts, revealing his muscular arms and long legs, a stark contrast to his usual suit and tie look.
He smiled and said in a relaxed tone, "It's a rare opportunity to have fun, so of course we should relax a bit."
"Besides, haven't you always said I'm too serious? Today I'll show you a different side of me."
Su Yingxue was amused by his words and took his arm: "Then you'd better do your best today and don't disappoint me."
The two walked along the path to the dock, their phones turned off, completely cutting themselves off from outside disturbances.
The only sounds were the waves and the calls of seabirds; the atmosphere was peaceful and beautiful.
"I wish every day could be like this, just the two of us," Su Yingxue said softly.
Tan Zhengchu held her hand tightly and said gently, "We can go out often, as long as you're willing."
At the dock, a small cruise ship was quietly moored, its white hull gleaming in the sunlight.
Su Yingxue looked at the cruise ship, a hint of excitement flashing in her eyes: "Is this the ship we're going to ride on?"
Tan Zhengchu nodded: "Yes, today I'll teach you how to operate a cruise ship, how about it?"
Su Yingxue was stunned for a moment, somewhat surprised: "You're going to teach me how to operate a cruise ship? I don't know how..."
"Besides, isn't sailing a boat quite dangerous?"
Tan Zhengchu smiled confidently: "With me here, what are you afraid of?"
"I have professional licenses, I guarantee you will be safe and happy."
Su Yingxue was still somewhat hesitant.
But seeing Tan Zhengchu's determined look, he finally nodded: "Okay, I'll give it a try."
The two boarded the cruise ship, and Tan Zhengchu led Su Yingxue into the cockpit.
The equipment inside the cabin was complex and sophisticated, leaving Su Yingxue somewhat dazzled.
"With so many buttons and gauges, can I really learn how to use them?" she asked nervously.
Tan Zhengchu hugged her from behind, placing his hands on the back of her hands: "Don't be afraid, I will teach you step by step."
"If you just follow my instructions, you'll get the hang of it quickly."
Su Yingxue felt a little more at ease as she felt his warm embrace.
She nodded and took a deep breath: "Okay, I'll give it a try."
Tan Zhengchu began to patiently explain the function of each button and instrument.
Su Yingxue listened attentively, but occasionally her mind would wander.
"What is this?" she asked curiously, pointing to one of the buttons.
Tan Zhengchu gently tapped her head: "Concentrate, don't look around."
Su Yingxue stuck out her tongue and muttered softly, "Okay, teacher."
The sea was calm, and the sunlight shone on the water, making it sparkle.
Looking at the distant horizon, Su Yingxue couldn't help but sigh, "Sailing doesn't seem so difficult after all; the sea is so calm."
Tan Zhengchu shook his head, his tone serious: "Don't be careless, the situation at sea can change in an instant."
"It looks calm now, but a storm could break out at any moment."
Su Yingxue felt a little nervous after hearing this, but she still nodded: "I understand, I will be careful."
Tan Zhengchu pointed to the route on the navigation device and said seriously, "Next, we will proceed according to this route."
"Come and take a look, confirm the direction."
Su Yingxue leaned closer to the GPS and carefully examined the flight path.
He then gave a confident smile: "No problem, I've got it."
"Now, watch me!"
Looking at her serious expression, Tan Zhengchu's eyes were full of doting: "Okay, let's set off then."
"Remember, always follow the flight path and don't deviate from the direction."
Su Yingxue nodded, gripped the steering wheel with both hands, and took a deep breath: "Let's go!"
The cruise ship slowly departed from the dock and headed towards the azure sea.
Su Yingxue felt both nervous and excited.
Tan Zhengchu stood behind her, keeping a close eye on their surroundings.
The two figures huddled close together in the cockpit, as if the whole world had shrunk to just the two of them.
Su Yingxue gripped the steering wheel and drove the cruise ship for a while, her face full of excited smiles.
"So sailing is so much fun!" She turned to look at Tan Zhengchu, her eyes sparkling.
"However, I'm a little tired and want to go up to the deck to enjoy the view."
Tan Zhengchu nodded, his tone gentle: "Okay, I'll take you there."
He took her hand and prepared to lead her out of the cockpit.
Su Yingxue suddenly stopped in her tracks.
She muttered somewhat discontentedly, "But it feels like something's missing when it's just the two of us."
"It would be nice if there was a lively atmosphere."
Tan Zhengchu smiled and gently squeezed her hand: "Who said it was just the two of us?"
Actually, there are other people following behind you, you just didn't notice.
Su Yingxue was taken aback for a moment, then frowned: "Someone's following you? Why didn't you say so earlier?"
"I thought it really was a trip for just the two of us!"
Seeing her angry expression, Tan Zhengchu couldn't help but laugh: "Are you angry?"
"You look kind of cute when you're angry."
Su Yingxue glared at him, her tone filled with displeasure: "You lied to me, and you said I was cute?"
"Tan Zhengchu, you're really going too far!"
Tan Zhengchu didn't take it to heart and took her hand, leading her towards the second floor of the cruise ship: "Alright, don't be angry."
"I'll take you somewhere that I guarantee will make you happy."
