Chapter 77: Ruoruo is Being Mischievous

Bai Shunan smiled and said, "It's fine, Ruoruo. I have no feelings about Gu Yunting's affairs anymore; I just think they are quite childish."

People, once they fall in love with someone, really are just like three-year-old children, including her in the past.

In front of Gu Yunting, she always refused to admit she liked him, saying she only liked his looks, and that sleeping with him was like getting a free ride—that she was the one taking advantage.

In fact, how she wished he could let go of Mo Wanqing and be with her.

It's better now; with no expectations, there will be no disappointment.

Let's wish the two of them happiness.

That same evening, the video of Gu Yunting celebrating Mo Wanqing's birthday was spread by "on-site audience members," so Gu Yunting and Mo Wanqing made the trending topics again.

The video went viral, but where are netizens these days so easily fooled?

It was said that the two were just taking a casual stroll on the beach, but Mo Wanqing's makeup and outfit were clearly meticulously prepared.

If one were to say she was mindful of her image and could be understood for wearing exquisite makeup even for a late-night stroll, the tourists nearby were all excitedly rushing over to offer blessings—isn't the staging a bit too obvious?

Soon, netizens began to pick apart this birthday party.

"Gu Yunting's expression is unnatural, as if he's being forced."

"Why would Mo Wanqing wear clothes you'd only wear for a runway show just to go for a late-night walk?"

"Her tears are too fake; I suggest she learn how to act out a crying scene from the big darling."

"Could it be that she's dragging her boyfriend out to build hype for a variety show?"

"Does the Gu Group need to be this desperate?"

"Look at that extra; he's been eyeing them ever since they came out. Where did they find him? Don't tell me he was hired from the film studio?"

"Don't insult the film studio; he was hired for 20 yuan a day."

"......"

After returning to the hotel, Bai Shuruo was also scrolling through videos in her room; she felt the netizens were practically her mouthpiece, saying everything she wanted to say.

The situation she saw on-site was exactly like that.

Although the fireworks were beautiful and the lighting was romantic, everything felt a bit fake; even the Samoyed puppy that was used as a gift was shivering.

Moreover, Mo Wanqing clearly didn't like the puppy much, but she had to pretend to be surprised and delighted, pressing it to her face to kiss it several times. As soon as the puppy stuck out its tongue, she dodged away, afraid of dirtying her makeup.

In another room at the hotel, Bai Shunan was also scrolling through videos.

Seeing the netizens' comments, she couldn't help but sigh.

This event planning company is decent, the event flow had no issues, and the extras were definitely not the problem; the problem was that this birthday party had an agenda. If this were a pure birthday party and Mo Wanqing truly didn't know beforehand, her surprise wouldn't have had any traces of acting, Gu Yunting wouldn't have had a cold face, and netizens wouldn't be using magnifying glasses to look at the extras.

In the final analysis, it was just fake.

After finishing the videos, Bai Shunan went to check the Gu Group's stock price, and after seeing it, she couldn't help but gasp.

In just one night, the Gu Group's stock price had actually fallen by eight percent!

The next morning.

Han Yangting didn't know where he found a yacht, saying he wanted to take Bai Shuruo to a distant Island to go fishing.

Bai Shuruo sent a message to ask Bai Shunan if she wanted to go along, only to learn that Bai Shunan had left the hotel early in the morning because, due to the Gu Group's stock price issue, they had to return to the company to handle public relations.

Bai Shuruo had no choice but to go with Han Yangting, just the two of them.

Han Yangting held Bai Shuruo's hand as they boarded the yacht, then took a life jacket for her to put on.

The straps of the life jacket were too complicated, and he thought she was tying them too slowly, so he lowered his body slightly to fasten them for her.

Bai Shuruo glanced at the yacht; there were only the two of them, so she couldn't help but say, "Brother Han, there's no driver on this yacht?"

"I am the driver."

"Ah?" Upon learning he could also pilot a yacht, her eyes couldn't help but reveal admiration.

After Han Yangting finished fastening the life jacket, he then pinched her little face: "There are many things I can do that you can't imagine."

"Really? What else?" Bai Shuruo asked curiously.

"If you keep following me, you'll know slowly." As he spoke, he walked into the cockpit and had her sit down beside him.

His series of operations were indeed quite skillful, and in no time, he had driven the yacht out onto the open sea.

It was Bai Shuruo's first time on a yacht, and she found it extremely exciting.

"Brother Han, you said there are many things you can do; can you dive?" she asked.

"That goes without saying; I have a diving license."

"Then can you fly a plane?"

"I can fly a small helicopter."

Bai Shuruo expressed doubt: "Really?"

"I'll fly one for you to see when there's a chance."

"Then can you drive a tank?"

"I can."

"You're bragging."

"If you don't believe me, ask Ling Feng; he's a third-generation red."

"What about a tractor?"

"That I can't do, but I can learn when I have time."

"......"

The two chatted back and forth like this, and after twenty minutes, the yacht was piloted to the pier of an Island.

This was a pier that hadn't been fully developed; tourists couldn't get up here, but wealthy people could rent yachts to come up and fish.

There are not many people on the Island, only one restaurant, which also rents out fishing gear.

Han Yangting rented two sets of fishing gear, then led Bai Shuruo to a rock in the distance to fish.

Bai Shuruo did not know how to fish, so he taught her carefully, baited the hook for her, and then cast the line out for her.

"Alright, sit down and patiently wait for the fish to bite," Han Yangting said. "Don't sit too close to the edge, be careful not to fall into the sea."

Bai Shuruo gave a hum of acknowledgment.

After waiting a few minutes and seeing no fish biting, she lost her patience and wanted to take out her phone to scroll through short videos.

Han Yangting said again, "Whether we can eat today depends on whether you can catch a fish. If we can catch fish, we will take them to the restaurant on the Island to be prepared; if we can't, we will just have to wait until we return to the hotel tonight to eat."

"Ah?" Bai Shuruo swallowed hard.

Although she did not particularly like eating, if there were truly no food to eat, she would feel anxious.

She had no choice but to sit down obediently and stare intently at the surface of the sea.

Han Yangting was 5 meters away from her, because two people cannot sit too close when fishing.

As it turned out, he had already caught two, while there was still no movement at all on her side.

Bai Shuruo could not help but ask aggrievedly, "Brother Han, are you tricking me? There are no fish at all in this spot of mine."

"Shall we swap places then?" he asked.

Bai Shuruo immediately picked up her bucket and took her fishing rod to swap spots with him.

As it turned out, only he could catch fish, and she was completely unable to.

Afterwards, the two swapped fishing rods, but she still did not catch a single fish.

Later, she adjusted her thinking, feeling that swapping spots or swapping rods was not the solution; she should swap fish buckets.

While he was focused on fishing, she secretly took his fish bucket; his bucket had five fish in it, while hers was empty.

"Brother Han, I caught fish," Bai Shuruo shouted.

Han Yangting took a look, "Is that so? But your fishing rod didn't move."

Bai Shuruo pointed to the bucket behind her, "Look, I have 5 fish."

Han Yangting glanced at his own empty bucket behind him and understood what had happened; he could not help but walk toward her, his handsome face feigning a fierce expression.

She took to her heels and ran.

He was bound to give chase.

However, this Island had not been developed after all, the path was not easy to walk, she did not run fast, and in just a few moments, she was caught by him.
