Soon, it was the third day.

After two days of rest, Liang Yan finally felt better. Although her face was still very pale, it was not to the extent that she would collapse when the wind blew.

That afternoon, Chu Zhou sent an assistant to bring Liang Yan to the same styling studio as last time and dress her up again.

What made Liang Yan uneasy was that the style this time was several times grander than the last time, especially the mermaid dress that accentuated her figure. She had seen it in a magazine before.

This was a piece designed by a top designer. It was the only one in the world. It was so expensive that it could buy a house in City A.

By the time she was done dressing up, it was already dark.

Liang Yan sat in the car and watched as the car drove towards the suburbs, getting further and further away from the city. Finally, she could not suppress the fear in her heart and wanted to get some information out of the assistant.

“Where are we going?” Liang Yan asked uneasily.

The assistant replied expressionlessly, “You’ll know later.”

Liang Yan didn’t give up. “I’m not prepared at all. What if I accidentally ruin Young Master Chu’s plans? Tell me the truth so that I can be prepared.”

The assistant’s eyes flashed with pity, but he was still unwilling to say anything. He only said, “You’ll know when you reach your destination.”

Liang Yan knew that she couldn’t get anything out of him, so she didn’t say anything else. She looked out of the car window at the houses that were gradually disappearing into the distance. She clenched her fists nervously and comforted herself in her heart.

As long as Hu Die was fine, it was fine. She didn’t have many days left to live anyway, so what was there to be afraid of?

Could it be that Chu Zhou would eat her up?

After letting her imagination run wild all the way, the car finally stopped by a beach.

As soon as Liang Yan got out of the car, she shivered from the sea breeze and hurriedly tightened her shawl.

“Miss Liang, let’s go.” The assistant gestured for her to leave. Liang Yan then realized that there was a huge luxury yacht docked by the sea in front of her. There were many people on it, and the music was loud. It seemed to be a grand yacht banquet.

Below, a few masked waiters were receiving the arriving guests.

Liang Yan suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and walked towards the ship under the guidance of the assistant.

As soon as she entered the yacht, a slender man in a mask walked towards her. He grabbed her waist and led her into the banquet hall.

“Baby, the dress I chose is great. It completely shows off your figure.” As Chu Zhou walked, he took a deep breath by Liang Yan’s ear. The fragrance rushed into his nose, and he couldn’t help but feel aroused. “This perfume is also tailor-made for you. Do you like it?”

Liang Yan’s body stiffened. She resisted the urge to push Chu Zhou away and coldly asked, “Where exactly is this place?”

“It’s just an ordinary banquet,” Chu Zhou said calmly.

Liang Yan was not stupid. If it was just an ordinary banquet, why would Chu Zhou go through so much trouble to threaten and dress her up? However, she knew that if she continued to ask, she would not get an answer. She could only take it one step at a time.

“Then, don’t I need to wear a mask?” Liang Yan immediately changed the topic and began to observe her surroundings.

She realized that the men present were all wearing fox masks that covered the upper half of their faces. However, the dates beside them were not wearing any masks. Moreover, they were all dressed up beautifully. They were so gorgeous that it made people click their tongues.

Logically speaking, if it was a masked banquet, wouldn’t all the guests have to wear masks? Why were only men wearing masks and women not?

What kind of banquet was this?

Liang Yan became more and more puzzled.

“Baby, you don’t have to wear it. Otherwise, how can you show your beautiful face?” Chu Zhou’s tone was suggestive. “Beauty should be displayed to everyone.”

Display? For everyone to see?

Liang Yan frowned slightly. Something flashed across her mind, but she couldn’t remember anything.

At this moment, perhaps because the guests had all arrived, the yacht slowly started and drove towards the center of the sea.

The waves hit the yacht with the wind, and the pitch-black seawater swept the yacht further and further away. Soon, there was only a small dot left on the land. Liang Yan’s heart beat violently, and her uneasiness and fear were almost like the waves that wanted to devour her.

“What’s wrong?” Noticing Liang Yan’s stiffness, Chu Zhou comforted her in a rare good mood. “Relax, it’s just going out to sea to play. I won’t throw you into the sea. Don’t be afraid.”

“Then when are we going back?” Liang Yan pretended to be calm.

Chu Zhou’s lips curled into a meaningful smile. “Going back? We’ll go back when it’s over.”

Liang Yan’s eyebrows twitched, and her bad premonition grew stronger.
