As night fell, stars dotted the sky.
Su Yang stood on the deck of the cruise ship, gazing up at the starry expanse.
A sea breeze swept past, ruffling his short hair and making his clothes flutter.
Inside the ship, the sounds of singing and laughter echoed from various entertainment venues. The hunters of the night were awakening, destined for another night of revelry.
To quickly familiarize himself and blend in, Su Yang had put on his multi-million dollar watch after dusk, a diamond ring also of considerable value clasped between his fingers.
Already young and handsome, Su Yang, with this simple embellishment, attracted the attention of many women.
Not far away, several socialites were stirring.
A few minutes later.
Someone couldn't resist, holding a drink, and walked over, striking up a conversation naturally.
"Hi, handsome, aren't you bored standing here alone in the wind?"
Su Yang turned to look. The woman was about 1.78 meters tall, and with ten-centimeter heels, she was quite tall.
Her long legs were fair and smooth, exposed in the moonlight. Her short skirt swayed in the wind, hinting at the scenery within.
Looking up, a sliver of her midriff was visible between her skirt and top, her proud chest seemingly about to spill out, exuding a lively charm.
She wore heavy makeup: dark, slender eyebrows, pink lips, a high nose. Her features were exquisite. Overall, she was a woman of seven or eight out of ten.
Facing his first prey, Su Yang's heart remained calm.
"What do you want?"
The woman naturally offered him a glass of wine, smiling slightly. "Can't I have a drink and chat with you if I have nothing else to do?"
"Not necessarily." Su Yang took the wine and took a small sip.
"My name is Liang Peiqi, what's yours?"
"Su Mu!"
Su Yang had no intention of using his real name; sometimes, a pseudonym made things easier.
"Su Mu?" Liang Peiqi appraised him. "A gentleman like the spring breeze, it suits your temperament."
Su Yang smiled without speaking. The most basic skill of these socialites was "casual, not deliberate" flattery.
It made one feel comfortable and natural, unlike the awkwardness of other women's forced compliments.
"Mr. Su, is this your first time on a cruise ship?"
"Yes."
"Hmm, I'm also here for the first time. I thought it would be boring, but I didn't expect to meet you. It's truly fate."
Liang Peiqi elegantly raised her glass, her eyes constantly observing Su Yang's every move.
Especially when she saw the two keys hanging from Su Yang's waist, a Lamborghini and a Koenigsegg, Liang Peiqi almost choked on her wine.
The emblems of limited-edition supercars!
Coupled with Su Yang's custom-made Versace suit, he was undoubtedly a big spender.
Liang Peiqi suppressed her shock and her eyes darted around, thinking of how to capture Su Yang.
"Mr. Su, when did you board the ship?"
"Today."
"Then would you like me to show you around other places?"
"Didn't you say it was your first time here?"
"Oh, I've been here a few days longer than you, so I'm quite familiar with most of it."
Su Yang nodded, signaling Liang Peiqi to lead the way.
Watching the two depart, the surrounding socialites secretly regretted their missed opportunity.
Just a step too slow, and they had lost a great chance.
...
In a bar.
Liang Peiqi led Su Yang through a maze of turns, arriving at a corner seat.
A waiter followed closely behind. "Miss Liang, what would you like to drink tonight?"
"A bottle of champagne to start, and you can bring whatever else."
"Understood."
Liang Peiqi proactively took out her phone and scanned the code to pay for the champagne.
Su Yang was a little surprised. This woman was quite generous. Champagne was expensive elsewhere, and here it was several times more.
A bottle of champagne cost a hundred thousand yuan, equivalent to an ordinary person's annual income.
Liang Peiqi pointed to the DJ girl on stage. "That's my good sister, and the only friend I've made here. I called her over for a drink. Let's relax tonight."
"Okay, you arrange it."
Su Yang pretended to be calm, but in reality, he had never been to such a high-class cruise ship before.
In his past life, it was due to poverty; in this life, it was due to being too busy.
At this moment, the DJ princess from the stage came down. Her figure was even more voluptuous than Liang Peiqi's, likely due to her frequent dancing.
Her leather jacket and pants clung tightly to her body. Her black hair was braided like willow branches, long and soft.
"Peiqi, why did you call me over?"
"Sisi, this is Mr. Su Mu, a friend I met tonight."
The DJ princess, Sisi, glanced at Su Yang. Having spent time in bars, she immediately noticed Su Yang's highlights.
Young, handsome, and wealthy, and most importantly, a bit naive. Such people were either first-timers on a cruise ship or extremely introverted.
Either way, he was a prime target to capture.
Sisi tossed her long hair and extended her hand. "Hello, Mr. Su, welcome to the Bitou Bar!"
"Hello, Miss Sisi."
Liang Peiqi smiled. "Mr. Su, my beautiful sister here is the owner of this bar."
"Oh, I misspoke. She's not married yet, but this bar is hers."
Liang Peiqi felt that in certain situations, calling someone a "madam" might lead to misunderstandings.
Su Yang smiled. "Oh? I thought you were just a DJ princess. I didn't expect Miss Sisi to have such courage to open a bar here."
After all, in such a mixed environment, a woman opening a bar could lose everything overnight.
Sisi understood Su Yang's thoughts and simply smiled without speaking.
Liang Peiqi, however, explained enthusiastically, "Mr. Su, you don't know, my good sister has someone backing her. Who would dare to mess with her here?"
"Oh? And who might that be?"
"Of course, it's the owner of the Harmony cruise ship, the young master of the Tang family. He has confessed his love to Sisi and vowed to marry her with proper rites."
Su Yang suddenly understood. No one dared to cause trouble in the Bitou Bar because it would be disrespecting the young master of the Tang family, a sure path to ruin.
It wasn't surprising, considering Sisi's fiery figure and her rare beauty, possessing a wild charm that surpassed Liang Peiqi's.
For a man of the young master Tang's taste, it was normal to be attracted to Sisi.
Wherever Su Yang went, he heard of the young master Tang, and he was even more eager to meet this legendary figure.
"Peiqi, don't talk nonsense. I don't need his protection."
"Hehe, let's drink first, no more talk about this."
Liang Peiqi opened the champagne and poured half a glass for each of them.
The aroma of the wine filled Su Yang's nostrils. He took a sip; it was smooth and delicate. The hundred thousand yuan was worth it. No wonder so many people ordered champagne at bars.
Of course, some people liked to show off, spraying champagne like soda.
Seeing only a few dishes on the table, Sisi called over the waiter.
"Little sister, go tell the kitchen to bring some specialty snacks, and also a dozen bottles of champagne, not to be included in the bill."
"Yes, Sister Si."
