Chapter 1257: Chapter 1161: He Is Not My Husband

Lu Haotian was right.

Although Xiaowu had tracked down Phoenix’s credit card records and knew she had purchased two cruise tickets,

he couldn’t find any personal messages.

Now, the only thing they knew was that Phoenix and Li Zhiqian were on this enormous cruise ship.

But finding out where they were was not easy.

The Liberty cruise ship, hailed as the "second Titanic,"

was known for its luxury and size and because the tickets were quite pricey, they had always been favored by the wealthy.

This ship was a vast playground and a melting pot of extravagance.

The cruise ship featured a large theater, a flashy entertainment venue, a casino, a massive golf course, and even an observation platform resembling a Ferris wheel that allowed guests to enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view from more than 300 feet above the sea surface.

However, Xia Yangyang wasn’t interested in any of that.

Xia Yangyang was just very worried about Phoenix.

And deep down, she had a vague feeling that something was about to happen.

The two of them decided to check in first.

The staff here spoke multiple languages.

Seeing the two of them together but having booked separate rooms, the attendant said with a smile, "It’s rare for couples not to share a room; you two are the only ones. Otherwise, I could upgrade you to a suite with a lover’s sea view where you can enjoy an unbeatable seascape."

Xia Yangyang flatly declined, "He’s not my husband, he’s my brother."

"Sorry, please wait a moment; I’ll process your check-in right now."

Xia Yangyang said this quite naturally.

But Lu Haotian’s heart felt as though it had been pricked by a needle.

Xia Yangyang referred to him as her brother as if it just slipped out without a thought.

Perhaps, in her heart, she truly saw him as a brother.

However, soon after, the corner of Lu Haotian’s mouth lifted slightly.

Well, it was better than being a stranger.

The two went to their rooms first.

The 200-square-meter suite felt like entering an upscale hotel.

They had come in such a rush they hadn’t brought anything.

But luckily, the ship had everything they could need.

Lu Haotian said, "It’s already late at night. Phoenix and Li Zhiqian must be asleep by now, if they have arrived. I know you’re completely exhausted. Rest well for now and tomorrow we’ll make a plan."

Xia Yangyang thought it made sense; at this hour, it would be impossible to find anyone.

They couldn’t just knock on every door.

They had to think long-term.

And after such a long plane ride, plus the commotion before boarding the ship, Xia Yangyang truly was out of energy.

They would talk about everything tomorrow.

Xia Yangyang said to Lu Haotian, "You should get some rest too."

Xia Yangyang returned to her room, took a bath, and quickly fell asleep on the bed.

However, Xia Yangyang’s sleep was restless,

and she woke up early the next day.

Xia Yangyang woke up very early,

her mind racing with thoughts on how to find Phoenix and Li Zhiqian as soon as possible.

The cruise would last half a month.

All the passengers had tickets but no other information.

After boarding, room assignments were based on boarding order, with no personal details of anyone.

This luxurious behemoth was hailed as heaven on earth.

Here, your nationality and identity were not scrutinized, nor did anyone care about your status or background.

With just a ticket on board, everyone was equal.

So, there was all manner of people on this cruise ship.

Finding Phoenix and Li Zhiqian on such a ship carrying literally thousands of people was certainly not a simple task.
