I have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World - Chapter 762
Chapter 762: Holiday on the Beach
“Clank—”
Upon picking up the Coke from the vending machine, Jiang Chen opened the can and took a swig.
The sweet, cold sensation flowing down his throat was especially refreshing. Jiang Chen discovered unexpectedly that happiness wasn’t just eating delicacies of the world.
The glaring sun was blinding. Looking at the beach, his eyes narrowed.
Green palm leaves swayed and not far away on the beach, children were playing with their mothers and couples were chasing each other on the beach. This was the largest beach in Penglai. The one thing the place didn’t lack was bikinis and beautiful women. Pairs of long, white legs reminded Jiang Chen of his time at Wanghai University. His best buddies went to the beach to swim while they watched the beauties who walked by them…
Not far away, a net was pulled on the beach. Ayesha and Natasha were battling each other in beach volleyball. Xia Shiyu, who didn’t have their stamina, wisely choose to not participate in their contest and looked comfortable in her beach chair. While in the shade, she leisurely kept score for both of them.
Both women were rookies in beach volleyball. However, in terms of physical strength, both were superwomen. One was a former KGB agent and the other was injected with a genetic vaccine. Although the latter had stronger physical attributes, the former was not too far behind her.
Ayesha leaped up and used her brute force to smash the ball. The volleyball turned into a shadow and swiped past Natasha’s blonde hair. The volleyball bounced into the sand with a bang and formed a deep pit on the beach.
“Are you trying to murder me?” Natasha glanced at the deep pit and gave Ayesha a hard stare.
Lightly landing on the ground, Ayesha combed her hair without even quickening her breaths while she looked at Natasha emotionlessly.
“Fifty. I win.”
Although she still looked expressionless, at a closer look, there was a faint smile on her face.
However, her proud expression lasted for not two seconds.
Just as she wasn’t paying attention, a Coke can came from behind and struck her face.
“Hmph!”
Ayesha, who was frightened by the chill on her cheeks, shivered. Looking at Ayesha’s lovely expression, Jiang Chen couldn’t help but smile and put the Coke in her hands.
“Get along with each other. Are you all tired? Come for a drink.”
“Mhmm…” Gruffly glancing at Jiang Chen, Ayesha took the Coke and sipped the drink.
She never really like carbonated drinks, but she never refused anything Jiang Chen gave her.
Looking at the pair’s intimate moment, Natasha rolled her eyes. Her eyes then suddenly swept across Ayesha’s chest and she began to smirk. She stepped forward, gently swayed her blonde hair, and frankly passed the volleyball in her arms to Ayesha.
“I lost in volleyball.”
“Hmph…” Ayesha scoffed and raised her head slightly.
Perhaps it was because Jiang Chen was standing next to her that she felt a little arrogant from Natasha’s admission of defeat.
Looking at Ayesha’s proud expression, Natasha smirked.
“But I won’t lose at other sports; do you want to try me?”
“I’m more than happy to.” Ayesha raised her eyebrows. Without asking what they were competing in, she quickly accepted the challenge.
“Oh? Then in this special game, we’re still missing a gentleman as a referee. Are you interested?” Natasha turned to Jiang Chen and whistled while raising her chest.
The “soccer ball” wrapped in a few pieces of cloth was just about to jump out of the cloth.
Russia’s ethnic talents seemed to be centered around the word “big” – whether it was the caliber of a tank cannon or the beauty of Moscow. A few years ago, Google did a ranking on the “size of female parts around the world” and Russia ranked first without any surprise.
No normal men would say no. However, as a “gentleman,” it wasn’t elegant to express too much desire…
Well, to say any more would be an excuse. If it wasn’t for Xia Shiyu’s murderous eyes, Jiang Chen would’ve really wanted to do something.
Jiang Chen utterly rejected the temptation while Natasha had a smug look. He dragged the bewildered Ayesha aside and warned the innocent little girl not knowing the evil in the world to not easily accept challenges.
It was a lot of fun. When dusk painted the sky golden, the four left the beach and returned to Central Hotel.
In the next few days, the four also went to the newly opened Venus Water Park, the most popular robot museum for tourists, and Penglai’s largest submarine shopping street… and visited all the fun places in Penglai City.
On the last day of the tour, Jiang Chen’s original plan was to return to Coro Island, but he just happened to catch up with a unique charity party. There would be celebrities from all walks of life in attendance. As the richest man in Penglai City and possibly even the world, Jiang Chen naturally received an invitation.
The event was jointly organized by a number of charitable organizations such as UNICEF and the International Red Cross. It was sponsored by more than a dozen philanthropic rich people around the world. The venue for the evening party was located in the Submarine Ballroom in Penglai City. However, these weren’t the selling points. The selling point was that one of the most influential painters in the contemporary era, Julian Schnabel, would auction his latest work “Pearl of the Pacific” at this charity event.
Just from the name, it was easy to tell the painting was based on Penglai.
Xia Shiyu attended the event with Jiang Chen because the two of them received invitations. Originally, Jiang Chen was also planning to bring Ayesha, but Ayesha refused on the basis that it would be inappropriate for her to frequently appear in public based on her job.
Holding onto Jiang Chen’s hand, Xia Shiyu was particularly stunning that evening. A black dress that was conservative but also charming contrasted with the whiteness between her face and collarbone, perfectly displaying the feminine side she rarely revealed.
When she entered through the gate, she immediately attracted countless stunned eyes. Even movie stars and singers were all overshadowed by her beauty.
However, those stunned gazes disappeared after a glimpse.
After seeing the man she was holding onto, the people who were originally interested smartly gave up. Competing with the richest man in the world was just merely asking for discomfort.
Upon seeing the arrival of the main guest at the charity party, the host, Adam Galway, smiled and greeted Jiang Chen with a warm welcome and extended his right hand.
“Thank you for your generosity, Mr. Jiang Chen!”
“For the world’s children and those who need help.” Jiang Chen also shook his hand with a smile.
Although he himself didn’t share their philanthropic spirit, it didn’t prevent him from gaining an international reputation.
There were reporters in the ballroom. After all, the money spent by these rich people couldn’t be spent without any gain; they had to at least gain some good public recognition.
However, these reporters weren’t allowed to interview guests and weren’t even allowed to communicate with them. They could only silently record the party. After all, those who were present were all recognized globally.
