Chapter 249


    “Well, you don’t have to be too polite either. Saving you earlier was simply an instinctual response. I


    believe anyone in my position would have done the same,” Quantum said with an air of confidence.


    “That’s not necessarily true,” ck Panther replied. She was born into a pirate family.


    For generations, her family had been involved in this line of work.


    Hence, she had seen many schemes and plots since she was young.


    Therefore, she was well aware of how depraved human nature could be.


    When danger struck, most people’s first consideration was undoubtedly their own interests.


    There were not so many people who would sacrifice themselves.


    Although ck Panther thought this Spineless Chicken appeared thin and weak, he came to her


    rescue during a critical moment.


    That already made him much better than those burly men by countless times.


    That was why she was willing to marry him.


    She was also willing to give birth to his child!

    Quantum still had not realized what exactly happened.


    But Marina, who was standing nearby, could not help but frown.


    She felt like she understood something.


    “ck Panther, who will be your spouse?” Marina asked loudly.


    “Huh? You’re getting married?” Quantum was also shocked.


    ck Panther had found her spouse so quickly?


    Was it one of the crew members on the ship?


    Did she force someone to marry her with a knife?


    “It’s you,” ck Panther’s wordspletely stunned Quantum, leaving him stunned on the spot.


    It felt as if he had been struck by a bolt of lightning, instantly shocked and charred.


    “You… Are you not mistaken?” Marina spoke up first while Quantum still couldn’tprehend the


    situation.


    “No, he’s already proposed to me. Moreover, he saved my life before. I’m willing to marry him,” ck


    Panther said seriously.


    Proposed?


    Marina’s gaze shifted to Quantum.


    Her expression became somewhatplicated.


    Although Quantum had been nagging non–stop, he had quietly done something significant.


    It turned out ck Panther was his type.


    Hmm…


    It seemed that Marina had misunderstood Quantum in the past.


    She thought that he was attracted to delicate and curvaceous girls.


    Of course, those are just superficial qualities.


    At this moment, Quantum finally snapped out of it and quickly stood up from the sofa.


    “Don’t talk nonsense and ruin my reputation! When did I ever propose to you?” Quantum eximed.


    His face turned red as he looked at


    ck Panther.


    “But didn’t you give me flowers? You even gave me nine flowers. Doesn’t it mean that you want to be


    with me forever?” ck Panther


    replied.


    Upon hearing this, Marina’s gaze toward Quantum became even more ambiguous.


    Was this guy this romantic?


    “When did I ever give you flowers?” Quantum couldn’t maintain hisposure after receiving Marina’s


    suggestive look.


    “Didn’t you bring me flowers when you delivered me food?” ck Panther exined.


    “Deliver food? I delivered food to you, but I never sent you any flowers!” Quantum was starting to doubt


    himself.


    “Nonsense! You clearly gave me nine flowers. Three flower–shaped carrots, two flower–shaped


    radishes, and four flower–shaped cucumbers!”


    ck Panther said, emphasizing each word.


    Quantum was dumbfounded for a second.


    “They were just a food arrangement!” Quantum finally realized what the misunderstanding was about.


    “Then tell me, did they represent flowers!” ck Panther said seriously.


    “They did, but…” Quantum still wanted to exin.


    But before he could finish, ck Panther interrupted him.


    “Just admit they were flowers!”


    “No, the meaning behind them ispletely different!” Quantum desperately tried to rify the


    misunderstanding.


    However, ck Panther didn’t give him a chance to exin at all.


    “In my culture, giving flowers represents a deration of love. You expressed your love to me, and I


    epted it. So, we can consider ourselves a couple!” ck Panther stated firmly.


    “No, no, no! In my culture, treating you a meal doesn’t equate to a deration of love!” Quantum


    quickly shook his head in denial.


    “Fine, let’s put that aside. But you saved my life on the deck earlier. Traditionally, one would repay such


    a debt with their own body. You can’t refuse that, right?” ck Panther said confidently.


    Quantum went speechless for a moment.


    “Yeah, I saved you. I’m your savior, and instead of repaying me, you’re causing trouble for me!”


    Quantum was on the verge of tears.


    If he had known that saving someone would lead to this kind of situation, he would never have done it.


    “What did you say?” ck Panther’s expression turned instantly cold upon hearing those words.


    “L…” Quantum wanted to say something, but as soon as he met ck Panther’s gaze, the words stuck


    in his throat.


    Because her gaze seemed as if she wanted to tear him apart, piece by piece.


    “I… Even if you want to kill me, I still have to rify this matter with you!


    “When I cooked for you before, it was simply to apologize for the inappropriate things I said earlier.


    “I never once thought about seeking your love!


    “As for saving your life on the deck, it was purely a reflexive instinct.


    “If it were someone else standing on that deck, I would have done the same!” Quantum mustered up all


    his courage to speak those words.


    After ck Panther heard this, she froze on the spot.


    She stared straight at Quantum.


    Quantum felt a chill down his spine under ck Panther’s intense gaze. Instinctively, he moved behind


    Marina, seeking some form of protection.


    Marina wore an expression of helplessness on her face.


    She understood that ck Panther’s lifestyle at sea might have different customs and habitspared


    to those onnd.


    However, she never expected it would escte into such a big misunderstanding.


    “ck Panther…” Marina nced at Quantum, who was trembling behind her.


    She wanted to exin to ck Panther.


    However, before she could utter another word, the ship suddenly shook violently.


    Immediately after, someone came to report.


    “Boss, Humpback hase after us!” The person’s tone carried a hint of urgency.


    “He’s here? He’s not afraid of death, huh? I was just looking for someone to vent my anger on, and


    here hees. I’ll make sure he regrets ever crossing paths with me!” ck Panther said, turning


    around and leaving.


    Her silhouette exuded a strong sense of determination.


    It seemed like she was really going all out.


    “Stay here and take care of Gavin and Simon’s brother. I’ll go up and take a look.” Marina instructed


    Quantum.


    “Alright!” Quantum immediately nodded.


    However, he quickly reacted and grabbed Marina’s arm in fear.


    “If you left me here alone, will ck Panther send someone to assassinate me?”


    After all, it seemed he had offended her with what he said just now.
