Chapter 504: Miss Cheng and Beauty Su

Cheng Anya had never experienced traveling on the sea for a few days and nights. While she was not seasick, she, however, felt that she had lost track of time on the ship. They had departed from France and would reach Riyadh in a matter of days through the Red Sea. Beauty Su received word to pick up a person en-route and changed their route at the last minute. By the time they reached the Atlantic Ocean through the Panama Canal, she had already lost her bearings and had no idea where she was.

Beauty Su was not the best travel partner, and the boat in question was a private cruise ship that was opulently decked out. Although Beauty Su was always dressed in white, giving an impression of nigh holiness and being above the things of the world, Cheng Anya realized that he was quite a hedonist.

The ship was even more luxurious than a six-star suite as it was kitted to the teeth with an impressive entourage that fulfilled even the most unreasonable demands.

As she had little experience traveling on the oceans—almost no opportunities and her previous adventure with Ye Chen did not count—she was satisfied following this trip. Although she did not know where she was, she was having immense fun. Su Man’s presence ensured that she did not have to worry about the child, and she did not have morning sickness. The child in her was not particularly large. It was light, so she felt as though she was not pregnant and really enjoyed enjoying the view at sea.

Since Beauty Su was prone to airsickness, he always traveled by ship. His quirky character and dislike to be served meant that he always traveled with his few familiar aides, from the captain down to the sailors and bodyguards. Being one who rarely traveled, he would deliberately spend more time away. Even if Cheng Anya’s child was not in good shape, he could help Cheng Anya deliver her child.

Beauty Su hence rejoiced at the opportunity to be a good host. The cruise ship steamed on slowly so that they could stopover anywhere and do whatever they liked. They were having fun ever since they left Riyadh and were not in a rush despite changing course midway and would have had their fill of fun by the time they returned to Riyadh. Everybody on the ship, including Cheng Anya, was utterly spoiled.

Everybody on the ship spoke Spanish and very few spoke English. Su Man could speak Mandarin whilst Dana could speak English. Beauty Su assigned his best maidservant to Cheng Anya to prevent miscommunication.

Dana was beautiful and intellectual, and they had met each other in the Riyadh mansion. As Dana was not in Riyadh, she was not particularly traditional and was neither tightly wrapped nor wore her veil. Cheng Anya then learned that she was gorgeous, and her skin became extremely pale from wearing the veil all-year around. She had delicate features and seemed especially gorgeous. Cheng Anya had a wonderful time with her.

They had passed by many islands these few days and Cheng Anya saw much more of the world. While she used to assume that life on the ocean was boring and dry, Beauty Su quickly overturned her opinion.

While Su Man preferred silence, he neither opposed nor approved of the partying on his ship. Although his hopes of serenity had gone to hell, he remained unfazed.

There were many programs on the ship, such as singing and dancing which had a uniquely Spanish passion and warmth, making the atmosphere especially warm. It felt as though the cruise was carrying a dance troupe with it.

Every time they reached the island, the captain would check the surroundings beforehand and allow the passengers who were into shopping to have their fill. The Atlantic and Caribbean Oceans were well-known for their scenery, vacation hotspots, and the good times one had.

Tropical plants largely littered the area and they were extremely beautiful. Redwood forests could be found on the lagoon and bay areas whilst coconut trees lined the shores. Cacti and rainforests bloomed on the islands.

There were many exotic beasts as well.

The sunrise and sunset were exceptionally gorgeous and dazzling, and Cheng Anya fell deeply in love with the scenery and way of life on the sea.

Very often, the gorgeous scenery left her astounded as though they did not belong to mankind but the gods.

Dana and company rarely traveled through the Caribbean Ocean, and they were having so much fun they pestered the captain to stop over more often so that they could have more fun. With Su Man not stopping them, everybody had so much fun, stopping over several times a day.

Cheng Anya felt that she was blessed with eye candy and good food as she saw indigenous people, Indians, African-Americans, and Asians, living together along with Caucasians and Jews. They were very kind and welcoming toward outsiders. As the captain of the ship was very much experienced, Dana told Cheng Anya that many of the islanders were aggressive and the captain had avoided them out of safety. Hence, she saw the much nicer side of the islanders.

She felt that she was extremely lucky to have such a good guide. Even as she savored the scenery, she felt that she could write a book. Seeing it only benefited her child that she was carrying. Said child was able to enjoy the gorgeous scenery with her since such a small age.

Hearsay had it that the cruise ship stopped at an island one day and the captain led his sailors onto the islands to purchase supplies and resupply the ship. Dana asked Cheng Anya whether she wanted to have fun, and Cheng Anya was pleased to oblige.

Su Man and a few armed men were left on the ship, and Cheng Anya, for whatever reason, asked Beauty Su, “Su Man, would you like to join us for a walk on the island?”

Beauty Su looked at Cheng Anya coldly and very subtly suggested that he had no intention to be part of the party. Seeing him deliberately choose his words, Cheng Anya rubbed her nose before following Dana for shopping and fun.

“My goodness! Our master will never follow us!” Dana exclaimed in exaggeration.

“In cahoots?” Cheng Anya jokingly replied. As Dana had a relatively poor grasp of Chinese, she could only smile at Cheng Anya. Having passed by several islands and archipelagos, everybody on the ship had their fill of fun for two hours. Save Su Man, everybody had a wonderful experience. Cheng Anya never saw Su Man leave the ship.

His ability to resist loneliness was incredibly high.

“Dana, when did you start following Su Man?”

“Since I was eighteen.” Dana smiled. “Master has been extremely kind toward me.”

Cheng Anya looked at the sky when Beauty Su was described as kind. Either Dana had seen little of the world or been brainwashed, she seemed to have no idea what kindness was and Cheng Anya would never dare to associate Su Man with kindness.

Dana, seeing Cheng Anya’s emotions, knew what was on her mind and did not defend Su Man. She merely smiled. Everybody had their own understanding of what ‘good’ was.

They had another two hours of fun today and were on a group of islands inhabited by the native Indians. Cheng Anya especially liked the redwood trees on the island. They were much more beautiful than the maple trees. She guessed she would not get weary of the scenery, especially when the sun setting and layered clouds amidst the redwood trees swaying made for an extremely gorgeous scene.

Cheng Anya was excited and had Dana take several groups of photos as she would not come here a second time. Cheng Anya wanted to collect memories of the scenery and took many photographs.

She was extremely photogenic to the point Dana praised her. “If only I could take a photo with Beauty Su, that would be perfect.” She mused.

“Beauty Su?”

“Your master.”

“…”

“Master never takes photos.” Dana smiled.

The few of them had a whale of fun and returned to the ship on time. Once they returned to the ship, the captain announced Su Man’s decision that the cruise ship shall no longer stop-over and directly head for their destination.

That night, they encountered a storm and there was a sea sprout. Cheng Anya, who was in her cabin, was scared out of her wits. The ship was rocking extremely violently. Out of concern for her child, she did not dare to stand and instead crouched in a corner and did not move. As her body swayed with the ship, she bruised her head in several places.

The hurricane came too suddenly. The ship was not better prepared and could only allow itself to be battered by the waves. Dana, who had to fend for herself and could not fend for Cheng Anya, was scared out of her wits as well.

There was a huge panic on the ship. Many places started to take in water. The men were panicking and there was a ruckus. Dana said that she had never seen such a huge wave that had scared her wits out of her.

Cheng Anya, hearing the roars of men, was even more worried.

Her life was not the most smooth-sailing, and she had endured even the largest turmoil. But she did not want to die. She wanted to live out her remaining life in a happy family of four that consisted of Third Young Master Ye and Ning Ning.

Miss Cheng realized that she had quite some comedic potential seeing as she was still in the mood to recall the Titanic despite her current circumstances. The Titanic also sank in the Atlantic Ocean, and she smartly thought about how she and Third Young Master Ye, if he were present, could put up the hammiest life-and-death scene. A huge wave hit the ship. Cheng Anya fell out since she did not manage to grab the bed pole and hit her head on the other bed pole before she fainted.

Before she fainted, she had an extremely comedic thought of how she had only fainted—thankfully— in comparison to dying and losing all feelings while drowning.

When she woke up, it was the next morning and the storm had passed. As the sun shone down, she woke up to hear Su Man say, “The child is fine.”

Cheng Anya was almost short of crying. ‘Beauty Su, could you at least give a damn heck about the mother of the child?’ She was utterly helter-skelter but Beauty Su was still immaculately dressed in white. Oh, the jealousy!

Beauty Su said that and then left the cabin. Dana remained behind to take care of Cheng Anya, who had hit her forehead and lost some blood. Although she had been bandaged, she still seemed a tad frail.

Cheng Anya did not like how the cabin was slightly cold. She went onto the deck to suntan with Dana after breakfast. The men were discussing how perilous and terrifying yesterday was. Cheng Anya could not understand a single word. Dana interpreted a few sentences, and Cheng Anya could somewhat make of the situation. Since she had fainted, she knew nothing but could only hear what had happened and feel terrified about it. While she wanted to call Third Young Master Ye to vent her feelings, she suddenly realized that her cell phone had taken on water and was damaged. She even forgot Third Young Master Ye’s number…

Cheng Anya almost cried. She somewhat remembered why she had not called Third Young Master Ye last night.

“What’s up?” Dana asked in concern. “My cell phone is spoiled.” Cheng Anya cried.

“I’ve one.”

“But I forgot the telephone number.” Cheng Anya cried once again. “How could Ye Chen’s telephone number be this hard to remember?”

The fault should not lie in how hard Third Young Master Ye’s number was to commit to memory. Given the state of technology, one did not have to really do anything and everybody hence slackened. While she used to really memorize Third Young Master Ye’s cell phone number, the convenience of the phone allowed her to also forget Third Young Master Ye’s cell phone number. She was no exception.

She was indeed a secretary who did not make the mark.

“Beauty Su might be able to remember.” Since Beauty Su was on the deck too, Miss Cheng finally learned how commendable Ye Wei’s courage was to have traveled with Su Man. To be able to tease Beauty Su and leave him with no way out until he had to make her a gun to pacify her was no mean feat. Some random person talking to Beauty Su would have found it… extremely stressful.

She asked for Third Young Master Ye’s number and Beauty Su immediately coughed out a string of numbers. Cheng Anya had a good memory and quickly noted them down. When Cheng Anya called Third Young Master Ye with Dana’s phone, she had a head-over-heels admiration for Beauty Su.

Cheng Anya called Ye Chen twice, only for Ye Chen to pick up neither and was diverted to the voice mail. Cheng Anya left a voice message and knew that he would naturally call back when he heard it. The two of them then continued getting a suntan.

“Su Man, when will we reach our destination?” Cheng Anya asked him loudly.

“Tomorrow!” Su Man replied without saying anything more. Third Young Master Ye called back in a moment and the two of them went aside to chat on the telephone. Cheng Anya did not mention about the storm the day before and only about the interesting sights and sounds. Third Young Master Ye listened on and occasionally teased her.

The just-marrieds were separated for long enough their conversations did not seem to end. The conversation only ended when gorgeous Dana’s cell phone ran out of power. Cheng Anya was secretly unhappy about how terrible the cell phone’s battery was since it ran out in just three to four hours.

After the storm, everybody felt that they had made it out of the clutches of death and the ship was full of merry-making in the night.

On the afternoon of the second day, the cruise ship stopped at the dock of a group of islands.

There were several lounging umbrellas on the islands and several young men and women sunbathing. Miss Cheng was shocked by what she saw on the island. Row upon row of naked men and women were getting a suntan.

From afar, they really formed gorgeous scenery where men and women seemed to enjoy it without fear of shame. A woman, bringing her child along, passed through and did not find anything weird.

Miss Cheng was dumbfounded…

‘Beauty Su, you could remain on the ship if you want. Getting off the ship this time is utterly shocking.’
