“Orange, let’s take that one.” Gu Qingtong pointed at the pleasure boat moored under a willow tree, which looked much more exquisite than the others.
“Okay.”
Gu Qingtong and Ji Chen ran over with small steps, both having boarded and paid, but unexpectedly were pulled down by two rushing maids.
“Our young lady has claimed this boat.”
Ji Chen and Gu Qingtong were stunned, slightly turning to see a girl walking over proudly, directly boarding the boat.
Gu Qingtong wanted to argue, but was held back by Ji Chen: “That’s the daughter of the Princess, Jiang Xiuluan. We can’t offend her.”
“But we’ve already paid. Shouldn’t there be a first-come, first-served principle?”

Gu Qingtong realized her words had no effect on Hua Jianwei. Looking around, many pleasure boats had already gathered to watch the spectacle, which was extremely vexing.
While Gu Qingtong was distracted and frustrated, Hua Jianwei had already stepped onto her pleasure boat.
