Then, Shane Yu picked me up without hesitation and carried me to the shower to wash us both. He carefully draped a towel over me, while casually draping one over himself, revealing his well-defined abs.

Soon after, two tall, pretty women entered, carrying a small, exquisite suitcase.

After the spa treatment, Shane Yu gazed at me and asked, “Sharon Yao, did you enjoy it?”

I smiled slightly and replied, “The massage techniques of that beautiful lady were amazing!”

“She was flirting with your husband just now, and you pretended not to see it, didn’t you?” Shane Yu said disapprovingly. He particularly disliked women with such a lack of boundaries. The woman had touched Shane Yu when the massage ended, blatantly trying to seduce him, and Sharon Yao had pretended not to notice.

“I really didn’t see it,” Sharon Yao said thoughtfully.

Shane Yu frowned, displeased: “Were you not even looking at me?”

“I’ll be more careful next time!” Sharon Yao thought to herself, “You’re not losing anything, why are you so angry?”

Shane Yu picked up his phone and contacted Assistant Liu, asking him to speak with the resort manager. He didn’t want to see any more women touching him. Shane Yu wasn’t indiscriminate, nor was he attracted to just any woman.

Seeing his displeased expression, I handed him some cherries, saying like I was coaxing a child, “I’ll help you next time, don’t be angry.”

He took the fruit, his brow relaxing slightly.

“Are you hungry? I’ll have them bring in some food.”

“Okay!”

…Just then, the doorbell rang, and Shane Yu went to open the door.

Assistant Liu said, “Boss, I’ve brought you some clothes. I’ve taken care of what you asked me to do.”

Shane Yu nodded at him, then closed the door.

Shane Yu handed me the clothes as if they were a priceless treasure. “Wear this dress and heels later. We’ll go on a cruise tonight.”

I took the dress and saw it was a white evening gown, like a blooming white lotus flower, very classic and elegant, made of high-quality fabric. It paired with sparkling 5cm heels, like two dazzling stars.

I changed into the dress, and Shane Yu put on a gray suit and started tying his tie.

“Do you know how to tie a tie?”

I shook my head.

“I will. I’ll learn. I’ll tie ties for your man in the future.”

“Okay!” Sharon Yao agreed, like a docile lamb.

“Let’s go, I’ve booked a stylist for you.” The stylist curled my hair and applied simple, light makeup, adding a touch of mature charm to my beautiful face, like a blooming rose.

When he saw me, his eyes revealed surprise, as if he had discovered a treasure.

“You are really beautiful!”

Shane Yu offered me his arm, inviting me to take it. I obediently went over and took his arm.

We boarded the luxury cruise ship with Mr. and Mrs. Ian Shen.

At the entrance, a man in a black suit stood tall and straight, his features refined and masculine, yet undeniably imposing. Most striking was the icy aura emanating from him, like an iceberg inspiring awe.

Behind him followed two solemn-faced subordinates, like loyal guards protecting their master.

“Brother Yu, you’ve finally arrived.” Upon seeing Shane Yu, the man’s face immediately lit up with respect as he stepped forward to greet him.

“Xiao Xin, this is your sister-in-law.” Shane Yu smiled slightly, gently taking my hand and introducing me to the man before him.

“Hello, sister-in-law!” The man called Xiao Xin respectfully addressed me as sister-in-law, a hint of respect flashing in his eyes.

“This is my brother, Alex Xie.” Shane Yu introduced him to me.

I looked up and gave Alex Xie a hearty smile in response. However, Alex Xie’s cold gaze lingered on my face for two seconds before he nodded and smiled in response.

At that moment, Ian Shen, seeing Alex Xie, excitedly went to greet him, cheerfully saying, “Hey, you! Long time no see, still as cold as ever!”

“Brother Shen, you and Brother Yu are my saviors, how could I dare to be cold to you?” Alex Xie said with a laugh.

“Haha, don’t flatter me, Brother Yu is your real benefactor,” Ian Shen patted Alex Xie on the shoulder, jokingly.

“I’ve arranged everything, Brother Yu, Brother Shen, please, ladies, please.” Alex Xie gestured invitingly.

Entering the luxury cruise ship opened the door to a new world for me. It was like a moving island, as tall as an eight-story building. The interior was brightly lit, with soothing music playing from advanced equipment, and a refreshing sea fragrance permeated the air. Walking further in, the extravagant and decadent scene was intoxicating.

After Ian Shen and his wife left with Alex Xie, Shane Yu led me to the top deck of the cruise ship, where we could see the vast, unbroken expanse of the Weihai Sea.

“It’s so beautiful!” I exclaimed, a happy smile spreading across my face as I gazed at the ocean. My joy surged like the boundless waves.

“This is enough!” Shane Yu thought to himself. She really is a young girl; pursuing her is so easy.

Sharon Yao ignored Shane Yu’s words, completely absorbed in the breathtaking scenery before her, utterly captivated. The azure sea, with its drifting waves, was like a beautiful painting, so beautiful it brought a deep sense of comfort. The most regrettable thing was that the person beside her wasn’t the one she loved.

Shane Yu gazed at my beautiful face, admiring the view and the cool sea breeze. He pulled me into his arms and gently kissed my lips, slowly deepening the kiss.

A while later, Shane Yu received a message on his phone. He glanced at it and said to me, “We’ll come again sometime. Now let’s go find Ian Shen.” Shane Yu gently tugged at my sleeve.

I turned to look at him, a fleeting hint of disappointment in my eyes. I replied, “Okay!”

Shane Yu and I arrived at the casino on the luxury cruise ship, a place filled with smoke and a noisy atmosphere. I saw Ian Shen, a cigarette dangling from his lips, gambling enthusiastically with Alex Xie, while his wife, Grace Liu, stood to the side, a look of displeasure on her face.

“Ian Shen, that’s enough for now. Don’t forget we have serious business to attend to,” Shane Yu called out to Ian Shen.

“Okay, okay!” Ian Shen clapped his hands, stood up, and said with a smile, “Let’s go, let’s talk business.” So, Shane Yu, Sharon Yao, and Ian Shen and his wife went to the cruise ship’s VIP restaurant. Once there, Shane Yu gestured for me to sit down.

Then, Shane Yu turned to Ian Shen’s wife, Grace Liu, and said, “Grace Liu, please look after Sharon Yao. Ian Shen and I have some important matters to discuss.”

“No problem, you can go ahead!” Grace Liu replied with a smile.

As Shane Yu walked, he said to Ian Shen, “The Environmental Protection Bureau Chief, Qian Ping, is here today. We can take this opportunity to get closer to him. After all, we’ll need his signature for the land in the West District in a few days.”

“I see. I thought you were just bringing women here for fun today?” Ian Shen joked with a laugh.

Shane Yu sneered and said, “Women are good, but men should prioritize their careers. That way, they’ll have a constant stream of high-quality women.”
