Chapter 160 Qing Wanjun 2
The two entered the restaurant together. Beautiful music was playing, the decor was retro and elegant, the tables and chairs were clean and tidy, and the exquisite tableware was neatly arranged. Combined with warm and soft lighting, it created a comfortable and pleasant dining atmosphere.
The waiters, dressed in white shirts, black suit trousers, and neatly tied bow ties, with white gloves on their hands and standard smiles on their lips, moved nimbly through the tranquil restaurant.
It was lunchtime, and there were quite a few people dining in the restaurant.
The majority of the group consisted of blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigners, though a small number were Chinese. Some were students like Ziyue who had been studying abroad and were returning to China at the same time, while others were likely wealthy businessmen who traveled between China and abroad for business.
There were a few people that Ziyue recognized; they were classmates who had studied in France together. Since they were all having a meal, they simply smiled, nodded to each other, and didn't disturb each other's meal.
Guided by the waiter, Ziyue sat down in a window seat.
Looking at the menu, there were very few Chinese dishes; most of them were Western food. But that's normal, since ships usually cater mainly to foreigners.
"Is there anything you'd like to eat around here?"
Huan Dong looked at her young mistress with a gentle smile on her lips, "Miss, I'm not picky, I'm fine with anything."
Ziyue asked this question because during the days on the ship, the original owner mostly had Huandong eat with her.
Privately, the original owner and Huan Dong had an extremely good relationship.
The two of them grew up together and have been friends since childhood.
Otherwise, the original owner wouldn't have only taken Huan Dong with her when she went abroad.
Of course, Huan Dong was also brought along because she could take care of Huan Dong's daily life and also play a protective role.
Huan Dong has practiced martial arts since she was a child, and her skills are quite good.
When abroad, in formal occasions, such as classmate reunions, academic exchanges at school, or banquets in high society, the original owner would naturally dine with people of the same social class and status.
Servants will naturally have their own place to dine together.
Well, they'd been on the ship for over a month now, and the original owner found eating alone on the ship extremely boring, so she didn't care about anything else and had Huan Dong eat with her.
Ziyue ordered two ham sandwiches, a honey-glazed duck breast, a bouillabaisse, a freshly cut fruit platter, and two glasses of juice.
I sat by the window and watched the sunset over the sea.
Where the sea meets the sky, only half a setting sun remains, its orange-red glow filling the sky and reflecting on the sea, creating a breathtaking scene where it's hard to distinguish between heaven and earth.
The sea and sky blend into one, a magnificent and beautiful sight that makes one marvel at the wonder and charm of nature.
However, Ziyue didn't look at it much. She leisurely enjoyed the fairly delicious dinner and then returned to her room.
After all, she was tired of seeing the ocean in the previous world, and there wasn't much to do on this ship. She wasn't interested in the dance halls or casinos, so she decided to just go to sleep.
She closed the door, went into the space, drank a bottle of diluted spiritual spring water, took a spiritual spring bath, and then went to sleep.
Having grown up in a wealthy family, the original owner already had excellent skin. After soaking in the spiritual spring water, her skin became even more flawless, delicate as porcelain, and so smooth that it seemed to glow.
9:40 a.m. the next day
"Miss, the boat will be docking soon." Huan Dong said excitedly as soon as she entered the room. Then, looking at the young lady in front of her, she couldn't help but stare blankly. She felt that the young lady seemed a little different today, as if she was even more beautiful?
However, perhaps she was used to spending time with her young mistress and didn't notice.
I shook my head and stopped thinking about it.
Anyway, our young lady has been exceptionally beautiful since she was little, as delicate as a porcelain doll.
All she could think about now was going home. The ship was about to dock. Fortunately, she had carried her young mistress back to the country unharmed, and had not let her master down.
Huan Dong started packing Zi Yue's luggage. It was easy to pack, as Huan Dong usually took good care of the original owner's luggage. Now, she only needed to put away the things she had taken out in the last two days.
Finally, Huan Dong had one suitcase, while Zi Yue had a total of five large suitcases, which was quite a lot compared to Huan Dong.
At 10:35, with a long, drawn-out whistle, the giant ship docked.
Ziyue and Huandong followed the flow of people down the gangway, followed by two crew members from the ship, each carrying a suitcase in one hand.
Huan Dong was carrying a box in each hand, while Zi Yue walked ahead empty-handed.
Upon arriving at the port, Ziyue immediately spotted the original owner's father, Qing Wanjun, with three cars parked in a row in front and behind him—a truly impressive display for that era.
Qing Wanjun, the richest man in the Republic of China and a descendant of imperial merchants, has been wealthy since his ancestors. In his generation, Qing Wanjun is a business prodigy who is decisive and ruthless. His family owns at least half of the shops on the main street.
Qing Wanjun is only 40 years old. He is tall, upright, and has handsome features. He always has a smile on his face, so he is also known as the "Fox with a Thousand Faces" in the business world.
Everyone knows that Qing Wanjun may always be all smiles, but he's the kind of person who can turn around and devour you completely, leaving not even a bone fragment.
Ziyue grabbed her skirt, a sweet smile spreading across her face, and ran straight to Qing Wanjun, giving him a big hug.
The original owner was a pampered young lady, extremely intelligent, but she loved to act spoiled and make a fuss. Her mother died in childbirth, and it was her father, Qing Wanjun, who raised her with great care.
He never remarried. His family was wealthy, and she was his only daughter, whom he had spoiled rotten since she was a child.
The original owner was the kind of person who could get whatever she wanted at home, even the stars and the moon.
"Dad, I'm back. I missed you so much, did you miss me too?" Ziyue hugged her father's waist and started to act coquettishly, ignoring the stares of others.
Since seeing his beautiful and graceful daughter, Qing Wanjun, who usually wore a half-smile in front of outsiders, finally showed a genuine smile that reached his eyes.
His daughter was finally back. He reached out and gently patted her head, saying, "Of course I missed my sweet baby! You heartless thing, you've been gone for so many years. Now you finally remember your old father. You can't leave your dad for so long again." As he spoke, his eyes welled up with tears.
Ziyue quickly comforted him, "I won't leave, I won't leave, I'll never leave again. I'm going to stay with Daddy forever, even if you try to get rid of me, I won't leave."
Hearing his daughter's promise, Qing Wanjun was finally relieved. His daughter always kept her word and had always been a person of principle since she was a child.
Just like when she said she wanted to study abroad, although he was very reluctant to part with his daughter, once she made a decision, nothing could change her mind.
He could only offer his support.
Hearing his daughter's promise, he knew she would never go abroad again, or at least not abandon her old father. Instantly, a smile returned to his face.
"Okay, okay, Daddy will remember. Come on, sweetie, get in the car, let's go home."
"Okay, let's go home." Ziyue said cheerfully. After all, the original owner of this body was a person who expressed her emotions very openly. She would directly express her happiness, sadness, anger and dissatisfaction.
After all, her living environment didn't require her to think about so many complicated things, and she never had to act according to other people's wishes, so her personality was quite straightforward.
Although Ziyue doesn't need to maintain a certain persona, she won't suddenly change too much in front of the original owner's very close relatives either; she'll take it slow.
Anyway, after being abroad for a few years, what she experienced is unknown to others. It's reasonable that her personality has changed.
As for Huan Dong, they're not together 24 hours a day.
