There's also a river cruise?

Lin Zhiguo and Zhang Ru looked very surprised, not expecting Chen Xuan to come up with so many tricks.

"Then let's hurry down, I'm already a bit impatient." Lin Zhiguo said with a hearty laugh.

Although Zhang Ru didn't speak, she was equally intrigued.

Chen Xuan smiled, holding Lin Wanxi's hand as they walked out of the revolving restaurant.

Lin Zhiguo and Zhang Ru quickly followed, having lost interest in Sun Yongkang, only wanting to experience boarding the boat and enjoying the opera.

Sun Yongkang's face was dark, almost dripping with water.

"Hmph, let's see if you're really bluffing!" Sun Yongkang snorted coldly, unwilling to give up without seeing with his own eyes.

Everyone took the elevator down from Mingzhu Tower, crossed the square, and arrived at the riverside.

A cruise ship was already docked at the riverside waiting.

A pavilion made with carved Suzuki wood occupied the main part of the boat.

It had openwork lattice windows on three sides, with light blue drapes inside, exuding a sense of ethereal beauty.

The front was open with no obstruction, thin drapes gathered into two floral bundles, giving an elegant charm.

Various fruits and snacks were placed on the table in the pavilion.

"Father and Mother-in-law, please take your seats." Chen Xuan gestured with a smile.

Lin Zhiguo's smile never faded, "Chen Xuan, what you've arranged tonight is quite poetic and elegant! Hahaha..."

Zhang Ru was already stunned, unable to speak.

Lin Wanxi looked at Chen Xuan with a beaming smile, full of joy.

Only Sun Yongkang's face remained gloomy, somewhat spoiling the mood.

"Set sail!" Chen Xuan ordered softly.

At the bow and stern of the boat, two boatmen each were responsible for rowing.

The cruise ship gently set sail, traveling along the river.

A bright full moon hung high over the Zhongjiang River, the water reflecting its glowing light.

Skyscrapers lined the riverbank, brightly lit.

After sailing thirty meters, a theater on the riverbank lit up.

Pavilions and terraces, reflected with the river water, created a beautiful artistic ambiance.

"Father-in-law, I've specially arranged a Peking opera for you, The Empty City, " Chen Xuan chuckled, "The performer is a renowned Peking Opera master from the Zhonghai Opera House, Master Wang Chunyuan."

"Great, great!" Lin Zhiguo looked very excited.

At this time, on stage, Master Wang Chunyuan appeared in a Zhuge Liang costume, beginning to sing.

Lin Zhiguo was quite captivated, occasionally tapping along and softly singing with it.

Everyone sipped tea while enjoying the opera, feeling very leisurely.

At this moment, a line of poetry suddenly appeared in Lin Wanxi's mind—

The tide of the Spring River reaches the sea level, as the moon rises together with the tides over the sea.

The opera was beautiful, the scenery pleasing, and it carried a sense of artistic beauty.

After the opera ended, Lin Zhiguo still wanted more, unable to contain his praise, "It truly is the work of a Peking Opera master! The singing was excellent!"

Chen Xuan nodded with a smile, then looked at Zhang Ru, "Mother-in-law, I've also prepared a segment of Huangmei opera, The Immortal Couple, performed by Huangmei opera masters Chu Suiping and Liu Qinfang."

Zhang Ru was immediately excited, "Then let's get started, I love these two masters!"

"Alright." Chen Xuan raised his hand with a smile to signal.

The lights on the second stage lit up, and the tune of Huangmei opera followed.

Zhang Ru listened intently, repeatedly expressing her admiration.

After the Huangmei opera ended, the cruise ship set off again, turning at the bow and stern.

It finally lay across the river surface.

In the distance, another cruise ship approached, with several traditional musicians seated with their instruments on it.

Approaching their cruise ship, drawing near slowly.

"This is..." Lin Wanxi's eyes were in a daze.

Chen Xuan chuckled, "Wanxi, this is the third birthday program for you, traditional musical performance!"

As he spoke, melodious music arose from the opposite ship.

It was the very famous traditional piece "Butterfly Lovers."

Lin Wanxi felt overwhelmed with excitement, almost shedding tears of happiness.

As the piece "Butterfly Lovers" concluded, a man holding a suona on the opposite ship shouted loudly, "A tune of 'A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix', dedicated to Ms. Lin!"

"At the same time, on behalf of the Zhonghai City Folk Instrumental Ensemble, I wish Ms. Lin a happy birthday!"

As his words fell, the sound of the suona began.

With "A Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix," the atmosphere reached its peak.

However, Sun Yongkang's mood was the exact opposite, plummeting to the bottom.

Lin Wanxi couldn't sit still anymore, unable to contain her excitement, "Chen Xuan, thank you! Tonight... I'm truly so moved!"

"You gave me a special birthday gift that I will remember for a lifetime!"

Chen Xuan nodded with a smile, "As long as you're happy tonight, then my efforts weren't in vain."

"Mmm, mmm!" Lin Wanxi nodded vigorously, "I probably won't be able to sleep tonight, it's so exciting!"

Chen Xuan laughed heartily, then looked at Sun Yongkang, time to handle business.

"Sun Yongkang, two days ago you and I made a wager, a man's duel."

"Today's victory is clear, you lost! Keep your promise, don't harass Wanxi anymore!"

Lin Wanxi felt extremely excited, as Chen Xuan had used absolute strength to defeat Sun Yongkang.

Lin Zhiguo wore a smiling expression, very pleased with Chen Xuan's performance.

Zhang Ru was still immersed in her astonishment at Chen Xuan, unable to react, not speaking up for Sun Yongkang.

At this moment, Sun Yongkang was extremely frustrated, with a fire in his heart and nowhere to vent it.

"Chen Xuan, stop threatening me! Even if you've won tonight, so what?"

"If you provoke me, I can crush you with a flick of my finger! Don't believe me, try it and see!"

Sun Yongkang yelled angrily, clearly feeling a bit sore about losing.
