80: Chapter 80 The princess actually likes small fishing boats?
"Uh, may I ask if there is another woman inside?"
"Sorry, I don't know."
Princess Yingya Waner heard the woman's voice and said apologetically.
Jiang Chen said, "No, it was my wife who called."
"Oh! I hope your wife doesn't misunderstand. I just wanted to make friends with you, no other intentions."
Princess Yingya Waner explained.
"It's fine. Except for morning classes, I generally make the decisions in my household," Jiang Chen said.
"Morning classes?"
"Are people from the Dragon Kingdom this diligent in their studies?"
"Do they even have to study in the morning?"
"But thinking about the rapidly growing strength of the Dragon Kingdom, it seems understandable."
Princess Yingya Waner looked at Jiang Chen with anticipation, "Since you make the decisions, could I have your contact information?"
"Sure."
Jiang Chen gave her a business card, and only then did Princess Yingya Waner leave.
Closing the door.
Returning to the room.
Xue Yao's large face was already pressed against the screen, staring intently at Jiang Chen.
"What was that you just said?"
"I said, except for morning classes, I generally make the decisions in my household."
"You're lying! It's clear that I also decide the evening classes!"
"Fine, fine, you decide everything."
"Come back soon. I recently learned a type of yoga body-refining technique that can make one's body extremely flexible... Do you want to experience it?"
"How flexible?"
"Super-duper flexible!"
Jiang Chen chatted with her for a while.
The night passed just like that.
The next day.
Jiang Chen ate and drank his fill, topped up his energy, and prepared to set off again.
This Maldives was just a transfer station; naturally, Jiang Chen wouldn't stay here forever.
However.
When he arrived at the special mooring area and prepared to leave.
He suddenly discovered that the mooring area was packed with people.
Many of them were wearing special military uniforms.
Clearly, they were soldiers from foreign warships, or perhaps mercenaries.
And in the crowd, Prince Sharate and some foreign soldiers were also there.
They were all surrounding Princess Yingya Waner, extending enthusiastic invitations.
"Princess Yingya, come to my cruise ship. I'll take you out to sea for target practice."
Prince Sharate pointed to the armed cruise ship moored not far away, still pestering Princess Yingya Waner.
Another soldier from a South African warship—bald, dark-skinned, and muscular—also looked at Princess Yingya Waner with desire, "Princess Yingya, both of our nations are great countries that help each other. That is our warship. Are you interested in coming aboard for an exchange?"
"Princess Yingya..."
All around were military personnel from other countries.
They all invited Princess Yingya Waner to visit their warships.
They claimed it was for the friendship between nations, but in reality, they just wanted to get close to Princess Yingya Waner.
However.
Princess Yingya Waner shook her head the entire time, politely refusing, "Sorry, I don't have time right now."
Just then.
Jiang Chen walked over.
Seeing Princess Yingya Waner surrounded by the crowd, he didn't ask too many questions, but instead jumped directly onto his pearl river 888, preparing to leave the mooring area.
However.
Princess Yingya Waner spotted Jiang Chen at a glance.
Her face immediately blossomed like a cherry blossom, revealing a beautiful smile.
She pushed past the people around her and ran toward the pearl river 888.
"Mr. Jiang, please wait!"
With this shout.
The many foreign soldiers around all turned their gazes toward him.
Even Prince Sharate was puzzled, wondering what Princess Yingya Waner had seen.
Why she had suddenly shown such a beautiful expression.
When they looked, they were all stunned.
"Mr. Jiang, are you heading out to sea?"
Princess Yingya Waner stood prettily beside the pearl river 888, asking Jiang Chen with anticipation.
Jiang Chen smiled and replied, "Yes."
"Can I board your ship!"
Princess Yingya Waner asked proactively, almost blurting it out subconsciously.
But as soon as she said it!
Her cheeks flushed slightly; she felt she had been too forward.
The crowd not far away was also shocked, their jaws dropping on the spot.
"Damn!"
"A whole group of us, with armed cruise ships and warships, had all hit a wall..."
"And yet!"
"This princess from Japan actually wanted to board a small fishing boat?"
"Is there no justice in the world!"
However.
What made them even more frustrated was that after Jiang Chen heard Princess Yingya Waner's request, he didn't agree, but shook his head and said, "Sorry, my ship is a combat unit with a battalion-level designation from my country; it cannot carry others at will."
"Ah? Is that so..."
Princess Yingya Waner felt a bit disappointed.
But she could understand.
After all, the Dragon Kingdom had strict laws; ships with official designations could not carry others at will.
Furthermore, she was from another country.
"Mr. Jiang is truly disciplined; I admire that."
Princess Yingya Waner praised.
"Well, if there's nothing else, I'll be going."
"See you if fate allows."
Jiang Chen waved his hand and drove the small fishing boat away from the special mooring area.
"Sigh!"
Princess Yingya Waner stood at the mooring area, watching the pearl river 888 get further and further away.
Although she already knew that this small fishing boat really had a warship designation, she still felt a sense of loss.
The other party not only had a wife but was also a man who strictly followed the law; she had no way to wedge herself in.
"He's crazy, this guy is crazy! Princess Yingya wanted to board his little broken boat, and he actually refused!"
Prince Sharate was already incredibly jealous.
Seeing that Jiang Chen had actually refused Princess Yingya Waner, he immediately went crazy.
"What is wrong with this world!"
"Does this princess from Japan have something wrong with her brain?"
"She doesn't like armed cruise ships."
"She doesn't want warships."
"Why does she insist on riding in an inconspicuous small fishing boat?"
"Just because it's from the Dragon Kingdom?"
"This is unscientific!"
"Princess Yingya, it's just a small fishing boat; surely it's not worth it!"
Prince Sharate walked up; the pearl river 888 had already disappeared from the mooring area.
She was still standing there watching.
Princess Yingya Waner turned back and gave him a faint glance, "Didn't you see the mortar and Gatling gun on his ship? It's a battalion-level combat unit, a warship designation."
"So what? Is its combat power stronger than mine?"
Prince Sharate said disdainfully.
He had nearly two hundred people on his ship, while the other party had only a few; their combat power must be weak.
Princess Yingya Waner shook her head, not wanting to pay attention to him.
Just then.
A wireless broadcast suddenly came from the special mooring area.
"[Attention passengers in the Maldives, according to the notification from the International Anti-Piracy Alliance, pirates have been spotted thirty nautical miles to the west. Please be careful and minimize travel.]"
"[Repeat.]"
"What?"
"Pirates have appeared in the nearby waters?"
Princess Yingya Waner was stunned for a moment, then looked toward the direction of the pearl river 888 with some worry.
"Heh, this small fishing boat is off to a bad start."
Prince Sharate laughed. His armed cruise ship wasn't afraid of any pirates, but that small fishing boat was so small, it might not be the same.
Princess Yingya Waner gritted her teeth, hesitated for a moment, and said to her subordinates, "Start the Sakura!"
"Set sail!"
The subordinates hurriedly started the Sakura and set sail with Princess Yingya Waner.
Seeing this, Prince Sharate immediately drove his armed cruise ship to follow.
"Heh!"
"In a moment, you will know exactly how powerful I am in the face of absolute strength."
"Whatever 'warship designation'—a small fishing boat is just a small fishing boat; it's definitely not as good as my armed cruise ship!"
