“Andy, tell me, why is Qiao Jing here?”
Qiao Yue asked through the communicator.
Qiao Jing shouldn’t be here.
“You still don’t know what happened to the Qiao family, right? Why don’t you ask him yourself why he’s here?” Andy’s voice was heard from her earpiece.
Qiao Yue put on her mask and walked up to Qiao Jing.
Qiao Jing was chatting with a blonde girl who pointed at Qiao Yue when she saw her.
Qiao Yue looked at Qiao Jing. “We need to talk.”
Qiao Jing held out his hand and made an inviting gesture for a dance. “Let’s not talk about business. How about a dance?”
Qiao Yue looked at Qiao Jing and slowly extended her hand.
Qiao Jing took Qiao Yue’s hand, put his other hand on her waist and led her to the dance floor.
A waltz was playing and the two of them started dancing.
Qiao Yue knew ballroom dancing because her godfather’s training included dance.
“How is it going? Are you okay?” Qiao Jing’s voice was cold. “Are you on this ship to find your godfather?”
“Yes.” Qiao Yue spun under Qiao Jings guidance, and her black skirt swung gracefully.
“I thought someone like the Godfather would fly you there? After all, you can’t wait to give yourself to him.”
“Qiao Jing, what are you talking about?” Qiao Yue gritted her teeth and stomped on Qiao Jings foot.
Qiao Jing pulled Qiao Yue closer to him. “You’re working with Andy, so why won’t you work with me? I also want to get rid of Austin.”
Qiao Yue looked at Qiao Jing in surprise. “You shouldn’t be telling me this. I’ve pledged my loyalty to the Godfather. I can’t help you kill him.”
Qiao Jing sighed. “Stop lying to me.”
He twirled Qiao Yue a few times. Their dance moves attracted cheers from the people around them.
“Don’t worry, I’m not doing this to complete your revenge. The Godfather has offered me something I can’t refuse, so I’ve decided to work with Qiao Li and Qiao Yi. Why? Are you not satisfied?”
“What?” Qiao Yue’s eyes widened. “What are you saying?”
How could Qiao Jing work with the two scumbags, Qiao Yi and Qiao Li? Was he working with Austin to kill Andy?
“My mission is to get rid of Andy, just like yours. Why don’t we work together?” Qiao Jing leaned over slightly, his lips brushing her ear. ‘You’re working with Andy, but you told the Godfather that you will get rid of him. So, I want to know whose side you’re on.” She no longer heard the music on the dance floor.
She never thought that she had to make a choice like this one day.
Was Qiao Jing crazy to work with the Godfather?
“I’m not going to work with you. Getting rid of Andy is my business. The cruise ship will dock at X-Country tomorrow morning. Please get off and go home from there. I don’t want you involved.”
Qiao Yue tried to extract herself but Qiao Jing held her hand tightly. “Working with me is the same. Won’t you consider it?”
Qiao Yue tried to free her hand from Qiao Jing’s grip, but Qiao Jing’s hand was as hard as steel.
“Qiao Jing, I don’t want you to do anything that will disappoint Grandpa.”
Qiao Jing pulled Qiao Yue into his arms, then lowered his head and kissed her on the lips.
At this time, most of the people in the ballroom were already drunk and had no time to care about two people kissing on the dance floor.
Qiao Jing’s kiss wasn’t intense but gently probing.
It felt different from all the previous kisses. Qiao Yue felt excitement but also heartache and pain.
She loved Qiao Jing, so she didn’t want him to put himself in danger because of her.
Even if they eliminated Austin, the two of them would never be together.
This kiss was like a celebration before the end of the world. It was filled with heartache that made breathing difficult.
“Qiao Jing, you’d better leave as soon as possible. Don’t ruin my plan.” Qiao Yue pushed Qiao Jing away when he wasn’t paying attention and turned to leave the ballroom.
She stood on the deck and stared at the pulsing sea, tears welling up in her eyes.
This trip on the cruise ship was never assumed to be safe. Who knew what kind of fight would happen later? She didn’t want to see Qiao Jing in danger.
Qiao Jing had to leave this place.
“What do you think? This arrangement is not bad, right?” Andy’s voice sounded in her ear.
“Did you lure Qiao Jing here?”.
