My fishing raft will ask for help.

Chapter 233 Illegitimate Daughter

Zhou Miao's lips twitched: "Can't you try your best?"

Luo Qianqian puffed out her chest and said confidently, "It's no use trying. At most, I can only earn five thousand a month. I don't even know if that's enough for someone else's weekly salary."

"If you don't have the ability, that's fine. But since you do, it's not unreasonable for me to make a small request!"

After saying that, Luo Qianqian winked at him and acted cute, with an expression that said, "I'm so pretty and cute, what's wrong with fulfilling my request?"

"Alright, alright, I'll try my best to give you a better life." Zhou Miao chuckled and pinched her little nose.

After all, she's my woman, so it's only right that I pamper her and be patient with her.

If it's someone else's woman, then he should stand up!

"Beep~"

A long whistle sounded, and the Flying Swallow slowly started moving, heading east.

Our destination this time is the continental shelf, because that's where you're more likely to encounter large fish, especially tuna.

Bluefin tuna even appear in that area every autumn and winter. Given Zhou Miao's luck, his chances of encountering one are obviously much higher than others.

With a cruising speed of 18 knots, the Flying Swallow arrived at the open sea in just over an hour.

However, Zhou Miao usually takes his fishing boat around this area, so he hasn't received any requests for help.

At this moment, he and his two girlfriends were sitting on a sofa on the second floor, behind the cockpit.

This is a place to relax, drink tea, and chat. There's also a sunshade above, offering a view of the sea at any time.

The weather is nice today, sunny and bright, and it's not cold even when it's windy outside.

Another hour passed, and Zhou Miao discovered that the water conditions were exceptionally good today; he had even encountered blue water.

"The water quality is great! Would you like to try diving?"

Luo Qianqian stared at him wide-eyed incredulously: "Seriously? In the dead of winter, you're making us go diving? Are you afraid we won't freeze to death?"

"Get promoted, get rich, and your wife will die—I'm not even your wife yet!"

Even Lu Xiaoxiao sided with her this time, nodding in agreement.

"Thump~"

Zhou Miao bent two fingers and tapped Luo Qianqian's forehead in an annoyed manner.

"What nonsense are you talking about? You won't feel cold wearing a winter diving suit. I'm just asking, do you think I can force you to go into the water if you don't want to?"

"I'm not interested. I want to sunbathe with Xiaoxiao after the ship stops." Luo Qianqian rubbed her forehead, gave him a light snort, and ignored him.

Zhou Miao shook his head and entered the cockpit through the side door.

Yu Muzhou was also chatting with his girlfriend Zhang Shuman, but they kept a certain distance between them and didn't seem very intimate.

Seeing him come in, Zhang Shuman seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, stood up and smiled at him: "I'll go sit in the back and enjoy the view."

"Okay, go ahead!" Yu Muzhou nodded, then looked at Zhou Miao, "Aren't you going to spend time with your two girlfriends?"

"I saw the water conditions were good today, so I came in to ask if you wanted to go diving."

"But Brother Zhou, I see there's a bit of distance between you and your wife!" Zhou Miao said, sitting in the passenger seat with a curious expression.

Yu Muzhou sighed softly: "How can there be any foundation of affection in an arranged marriage? It's already been settled, and we are both satisfied with each other."

"We've only just started, let's take it slow!"

Zhou Miao joked, "You're remarried and have a son, so your sister-in-law is basically a stepmother. How can you be satisfied with that?"

Yu Muzhou glared at her: "So what if she's remarried? Which of her first marriages, which one was better than mine?"

"Haha, that's true!" Zhou Miao nodded in agreement.

If he stood with Yu Muzhou and let the women choose, it would be hard to say who would win.

His advantage lies in his youth and good looks; the latest update is out! Readers have all gone to check it out! He also has some money; reaching a net worth of tens of millions in the future won't be a problem.

Yu Muzhou not only has money, but will also have power in the future, so his advantages are obvious.

"Schumann didn't really have a choice. She was the illegitimate daughter of my backer. If I wanted to enter the political arena, I had to marry her."

"She either marries some abandoned second-generation rich kids, or she marries someone like me who is ambitious and divorced. Actually, it's quite tragic when you think about it."

"Of course, she can regain her freedom, but from then on she'll have to rely on herself."

Zhou Miao naturally understood what Yu Muzhou was saying: if you enjoy resources, you have to pay a price; if you want freedom, you won't have resources; everything comes at a cost.

However, the two did not discuss these matters in depth. Zhou Miao had no interest in officialdom or anything like that; he just wanted to earn a little money and live his own simple life.

So the two quickly shifted their conversation to where to go diving.

Naturally, finding the right location is crucial for diving. After studying the navigation system for a while and assessing the distance, Yu Muzhou set the location on a small reef island 33 nautical miles away from the bureau.

The reef islands over there aren't the main point; the main point is that there's a coral reef right next to the reef islands, which is the best diving spot.

Thirty-three nautical miles, it takes about two hours to drive there.

So when we arrived at our destination, it was already almost noon.

After mooring the boat, everyone decided to prepare lunch first.

Zhou Miao and Yu Muzhou didn't need to lift a finger for their first meal at sea. Zhang Shuman said she would cook, with Luo Qianqian and Lu Xiaoxiao helping out, and they prepared a table of authentic Jiangzhe home-style dishes.

After tasting it, Zhou Miao sighed that Yu Muzhou was a lucky man.

Although his new wife is an illegitimate child, she is capable in both social and domestic settings, making her an excellent and virtuous wife. It seems she was specifically groomed to be that kind of wife.

After having dinner and resting for an hour or so, Zhou Miao and Yu Muzhou changed into their diving suits and then stretched and warmed up on the deck.

Zhou Miao brought three pieces of equipment: a harpoon, a spear, and a bleeding dagger.

He wasn't very skilled at using a speargun, but today he was just playing around because the water was good, so he didn't care how many fish he caught.

They didn't forget the net and live fish catcher, and if they couldn't catch any fish, they would pick up some sea snails or something, so they wouldn't go home empty-handed.

Yu Muzhou had the same equipment, except he was missing a fish spear.

He only needs a harpoon gun; he practiced at the club frequently before and is much more skilled at it than Zhou Miao.

Finally, after securing the safety rope, the two swam into the water toward the coral reef.

The Flying Swallow was parked nearby, only a dozen meters away, and we would arrive in a short while.

The water here is shallow, only fifteen to twenty meters deep.

First there's a large sand bed, and then you reach the coral reef.

After swimming more than ten meters from the edge towards the center, Zhou Miao discovered a large number of active fish, indicating that this place was indeed suitable for fishing.

"Let's split up and stay about ten meters apart, not too far."

"OK."

Once they decided which direction they wanted to go, they bit their breathing tubes and plunged into the water.

Zhou Miao moved northwest and quickly spotted a spotted rock seabream.

This is the largest spotted rock snapper he has ever seen, weighing at least five pounds.

Zhou Miao raised his loaded speargun and quickly approached. This time he was freediving and didn't have an oxygen tank, so he was much more agile than usual.

He slowed down and approached slowly when he was within seven or eight meters of the spotted rock snapper.

When the water is clear, fish are particularly sensitive to danger.

The spotted rock snapper had sensed the danger and began to swim further away, but it did not increase its speed.

Zhou Miao had no choice but to continue getting closer.

Fortunately, his physical fitness improved, and his lung capacity also became much stronger than before.

Even without professional training, he can stay underwater for more than three minutes.
