Chapter 566 -332: A Different Life, a “Dirty” Deal

“To think we’d meet again in a situation like this… Ha. ‘If only life were always like our first meeting.'”

At that moment, Lin Chu couldn’t help but find the situation rather intriguing.

An Yunzhi’s lips were tightly pursed. She stared at Lin Chu for a long moment, the tension and wariness in her eyes gradually easing. Then, she couldn’t help but break into a smile.

‘There was good news.’

‘And there was bad news.’

‘The good news was that she wasn’t facing a stranger tonight.’

‘The bad news was that this man coveted her, too.’

An Yunzhi was well aware of this. From the very first time she met Lin Chu, she could see the lecherous desire in his eyes.

‘It was just that, back then, she still had everything.’

‘And now… she had nothing.’

“Well, I’m pleasantly surprised myself. I never thought I’d run into you in a place like this. And you’re right, ‘if only life were always like our first meeting.’ How… have you been?”

An Yunzhi walked toward Lin Chu with a radiant smile, extending her hand and asking in a gentle voice.

‘Clearly, he was still living a very comfortable life.’

‘It was an enviable position to be in. Judging by the way the people on the ship treated him, it was as if he owned the entire vessel.’

Lin Chu smiled as he took her hand, but he didn’t let go. He joked, “I’ve got a life on my conscience, so now I’m planning a career change. I’m going to be a pirate. What do you say, interested in joining the crew? I’ll make you the woman of the Pirate King.”

An Yunzhi: “…”

‘She was rendered speechless for a moment. This guy… he really had gotten more brazen. He exuded an extremely wild, untamed energy from head to toe.’

‘And, naturally, he was also cruder than before.’

But then, An Yunzhi had a sudden realization. This seemed to be an opportunity for her.

‘An opportunity to turn her life around.’

“Oh, how impressive. A pirate, are you? So, is that Somalia or the Caribbean? Or will you get caught and hauled in by a couple of mall cops?”

Her tone was clearly teasing.

“Still so cheeky… I don’t like the sound of that. Say something I want to hear.”

Lin Chu grabbed her shoulder with one hand and took a step closer, their chests touching. It was almost like they were in a close-contact dance.

He loomed over her, staring into her eyes.

Panic flashed in An Yunzhi’s eyes, and her face instantly turned bright red. Her long eyelashes trembled nervously. She bit her lip but didn’t struggle or resist.

She tilted her head back, staring intently at the man before her.

“How far can you take me?”

She asked softly, a movement rippling down her long, swan-like neck.

“You haven’t even joined the crew and you’re already asking for your reward? I don’t like the sound of that, either… How about this? I can make Kang Hao, You Shaoqiang, and Zhou Luan greet you with the utmost respect next time they see you… and call you ‘Sister-in-law.’ Is that good enough?”

Lin Chu said with a wide smile.

An Yunzhi: “…” She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

‘Still, she could sense the immense confidence behind his words. This man was as forceful and domineering as ever.’

‘To accomplish that… wouldn’t that be a pretty good deal for her?’

‘Even if it meant she’d be reduced to being someone else’s dependent.’

“Still not enough, eh? Fine. I was originally tempted to play the ‘kidnap the fair maiden’ game, but I guess I don’t have the heart to go that far.”

“I’m a man who knows how to appreciate a beautiful woman, especially when faced with one who is, er, so broken…”

“You studied finance, right? I acquired a bank in Europe, and there’s an empty seat on the board. You can have it.”

Lin Chu said, his tone as casual as if he were talking about the weather.

An Yunzhi was silent for several seconds. She let out a long, inward sigh, and then slowly closed her eyes.
