Chapter 427 - 260: Diving Time with Fang Jie (Part 2)

There was nothing scheduled for today; it was a free day.

The return trip was set for four in the afternoon, leaving plenty of time for everyone to have a little more fun.

Lin Jiang had originally planned to leave Zhao Wenxuan with Jiang Xiaoqi, but during their chat, Fang Jie mentioned that Wei Xue could take the three children to play together. So, he decided not to bother Jiang Xiaoqi, which would also give her a chance to rest.

Around ten in the morning, Wei Xue came and took Zhao Wenxuan away.

Before she left, she gave Lin Jiang a meaningful look.

Soon, a message from Fang Jie arrived.

Fang Jie: "They picked up the kid, right?"

Lin Jiang: "Yep."

Fang Jie: "Ready to head out now?"

Lin Jiang: "OK, meet at the entrance."

After replying, Lin Jiang went downstairs.

He saw Fang Jie in the hotel lobby.

She was wearing a sheer skirt with a small white top. A gentle breeze tousled her long hair, and the way she gathered it was filled with the charm of a mature woman.

Lin Jiang pointed toward the hotel shop, and Fang Jie quickly understood what he was planning to do.

’He must be going to buy swim trunks.’

Fang Jie didn’t deliberately follow him in, choosing to wait by the entrance instead.

A few minutes later, Lin Jiang walked out, carrying a bag.

"I contacted the director for you yesterday. He’s very interested in meeting with you."

Fang Jie looked at Lin Jiang. "When are you free? We could set up a meeting."

"You can decide on the time," Lin Jiang said.

"Find some time to study the script more. Try to secure the location during this period. Once the cheerleading competition is over and we’ve chosen the cast, we can start filming."

"After we get back, let’s look at the script first and figure out the general direction."

"That’s exactly what I was thinking."

Strolling along, the two arrived at the cruise company’s office.

When they learned that Lin Jiang was the big shot who had chartered the boat yesterday, a specialist came to greet them personally.

It took about half an hour to sort out all the details. The total cost was less than 4,000 yuan, but Fang Jie paid for everything, not letting Lin Jiang spend a dime.

Luckily, they even got a female captain, which eased Fang Jie’s nerves.

After about twenty minutes, the boat began to slow down.

"Sir, Ma’am, we’re about to reach the designated spot. You can start your warm-ups," the female captain said.

Fang Jie looked toward Lin Jiang.

She was a complete novice at this and didn’t know anything; she needed him to teach her.

"Get your gear on first. Let me know when you’re ready."

With that, Lin Jiang walked out of the cabin.

Even though he was rich now, at heart, Lin Jiang was still an unrefined guy. Without a second thought, he changed into his swim trunks right there on the deck.

"I’m ready."

About ten minutes later, Fang Jie’s voice came from inside the cabin, and Lin Jiang went back in.

When she saw Lin Jiang’s physique, for the first few seconds, Fang Jie couldn’t tear her eyes away.

’How did he get a body like that?’

’He’s in incredible shape!’

’Even the male trainers at the gym aren’t as built as him.’

’And...’

Fang Jie’s face flushed a little, and her heart began to beat faster.

’That part of him is so prominent...’

Fang Jie quickly realized she was being a little presumptuous and averted her gaze.

"Alright, I’ll lead you through a warm-up first."

"Okay."

He led Fang Jie through a warm-up that lasted over ten minutes.

After that, Lin Jiang helped Fang Jie put on her diving gear.

Fang Jie sat on a long bench inside the cabin while Lin Jiang knelt in front of her.

The distance between them was less than twenty centimeters.

From such a close distance, Lin Jiang could clearly see the pores on Fang Jie’s skin.

’Her voluptuous figure, with its slight little tummy... it would probably feel amazing to touch,’ Lin Jiang estimated.

Fang Jie also noticed Lin Jiang’s gaze lingering on her stomach and legs.

A faint thrill of secret delight bloomed in her heart, but she also felt nervous and unconsciously pressed her legs together.

Meanwhile, her own eyes were uncontrollably drawn to Lin Jiang’s abs.

’They’re just so eye-catching.’

Soon, Lin Jiang had her fully equipped, explaining the usage and techniques as he went.

He went over the life-saving devices in particular several times to prevent any issues.

"Go through the movements I just taught you again with the gear on. Get used to how it feels."

"Okay."

Like an obedient schoolgirl, Fang Jie nodded.

She went through the warm-up exercises once more, her attitude very serious.

With all preparations complete, Lin Jiang was the first to get into the water. He waved at Fang Jie, who was sitting on the edge of the boat.

"Come on in, the water temperature is fine."

"I... I’m a little scared..." Fang Jie’s voice trembled. Humans have an instinctive fear of the open sea.

Lin Jiang opened his arms. "I’m right here to catch you. It’s fine."

Fang Jie was still nervous, but she also knew that if she kept dawdling, Lin Jiang would get impatient.

So, gritting her teeth, she jumped into the water. The cool seawater instantly refreshed her, and at the same time, she felt a pair of strong, powerful hands wrap around her body.

In that moment, an unprecedented sense of security enveloped Fang Jie, and she seemed to be less nervous and afraid.

"Relax your body. Don’t be so stiff. I’ll guide you down slowly."

"Mmm..."

With Lin Jiang holding her, the two of them submerged into the seawater.

But right after going under, he immediately brought her back to the surface to let her gradually adapt.

After a few more times, Fang Jie’s condition improved greatly, so he led her down into the depths.

The azure water and the magnificent undersea world instantly captured Fang Jie’s attention, her face alight with excitement.

Lin Jiang was the same. While looking after Fang Jie, he also admired the scenery of the undersea world.

But after only ten-odd seconds underwater, Lin Jiang brought her back to the surface.

He then had her practice adapting a few more times, with each dive lasting longer than the last, and Fang Jie grew less nervous.

"How do you feel? Getting used to it?" Lin Jiang asked after they surfaced.

"I think I’m fine now."

"We’re going to dive for real this time. If there’s a problem, signal me immediately."

"Okay, okay."

Because she had a background in swimming, coupled with Lin Jiang’s assistance, Fang Jie quickly adapted to the underwater environment.

She touched the coral and teased the small fish, thoroughly delighted.

Afterward, the two of them went to other spots.

They ended up diving for over 30 minutes, and Fang Jie’s stamina was starting to wane.

Lin Jiang swam up to her and pointed upward. She understood his meaning and nodded underwater.

In terms of technique, Fang Jie was still lacking. She tried several times, but her ascent speed was not ideal.

Lin Jiang held Fang Jie and brought her to the surface.

The moment he held her, Fang Jie felt the contact on her butt, which made her feel a hint of shame, but also a sliver of excitement.

It was a feeling that was hard to describe with words.

Soon, Lin Jiang helped her back onto the boat, planning to rest for a while and have a snack before continuing.

Her voluptuous body, covered in water droplets, looked even more alluring.

Out of the corner of her eye, Fang Jie would inadvertently glance at Lin Jiang, but she only dared to sneak peeks, not making any bold movements.

"How was it? Pretty good, right?"

Fang Jie nodded excitedly, as if she hadn’t had her fill yet.

"But my skills are terrible. Without you, I definitely couldn’t have done it."

"You’re a beginner. That’s completely normal. You’ll get it after a few more tries."

"Mhm."

After a short break, the two began their second dive.

This time, Fang Jie was much more adapted and did a lot better than the first time, but she still needed Lin Jiang to guide her.

On their second dive, they stayed under for a full 45 minutes before getting back on the boat, which also marked the end of their diving trip.

Back on shore, it was time to prepare for the return journey.

On the way back, Wei Xue didn’t ride in Lin Jiang’s car, using the pretext that she didn’t want to be a third wheel.

In the end, Fang Jie brought her child to the car, and Lin Jiang drove with Zhao Wenxuan, heading toward Zhonghai.

While fastening his seatbelt and adjusting his clothes, Lin Jiang happened to notice that Fang Jie was wearing pantyhose.

Perhaps because they were tired from playing, the two children fell asleep not long after getting in the car, which gave the two adults a chance to talk.

On the way back, their conversation mostly centered around diving.

Fang Jie asked many related questions, clearly showing great interest in the sport.

About an hour and a half later, the car reached the city, and Lin Jiang dropped Fang Jie off at her home.

"Want to get a meal together tomorrow? You could bring the script for me to look at. Does that work for you?"

"Sure. You pick the place."

"Okay."

Fang Jie and her daughter got out of the car. After waving goodbye, Lin Jiang left and took Zhao Wenxuan home.

"Mommy, why did you keep looking at that uncle?" Zhang Jiayuan asked.

"What do you know about ’like’? Don’t talk nonsense."

"Of course I do! When you like someone, you sleep together, and then you have babies..."

Zhang Jiayuan looked at Fang Jie. "Mommy, can you give me a little brother...?"
