“Hey, Big Bro, are you done yet? Were you getting cozy with Shen Lan inside? Haven’t you finished unpacking?” After Zhou Chao and Jiang Li changed into different clothes, they left the room. They waited for quite a while, but Li Yang and Shen Lan hadn’t emerged. In frustration, Zhou Chao had to shout loudly.

“What’s the rush? Can’t we have a little romance?” The door opened, and Li Yang looked at Zhou Chao with a hint of disdain, while Shen Lan, who followed him, had a blush on her face.

“Hehe, why the rush? We have plenty of time later tonight!” Zhou Chao smirked mischievously at Li Yang.

“Get lost!” Zhou Chao and his companions left the room, laughing and chatting as they headed towards the deck.

Li Yang leaned against the railing, gazing at the skyscrapers on both sides of Victoria Harbour. He couldn’t help but exclaim, “Forget it; the view from the ship is incredibly relaxing, and it has a unique charm.”

“Indeed! Let’s go and explore; there must be some fun things to do!” So they went to the top deck of the ship.

“Swimming pool and even surfing! This is amazing!” Li Yang was thrilled, and the March weather in Hong Kong Island was still warm. There were plenty of bikini-clad women sunbathing by the pool.

“Do you want to get a closer look?” Shen Lan’s voice teased Li Yang’s ear, startling him into quickly retracting his gaze.

Seeing this, Zhou Chao and Jiang Li burst into laughter.

“I wasn’t looking. I was just admiring how well-equipped this cruise ship is!” Li Yang retorted with a hint of embarrassment.

“Let’s go check out the cabins!” Seeing the pleading look in Li Yang’s eyes, Zhou Chao suggested going inside the cabins.

Zhou Chao then led the group as they took the elevator down to the interior of the ship. As soon as the elevator descended, they looked through the glass doors and saw the opulence inside.

“This is incredibly luxurious!” They couldn’t help but marvel at the decorations inside.

This person strolled through the leisure area, observing various luxury shops and eateries. The group couldn’t resist buying some snacks as they leisurely explored. They ate while wandering around.

They discovered theaters, large banquet halls, a casino, an amusement park, and more. Zhou Chao realized that it was quite similar to the Grand Lisboa Hotel he had visited in Macau before, except one was on land and the other on the sea.

“Shen Lan, do you think having our wedding here would add a special sense of ceremony?” Li Yang looked at the banquet hall and began to imagine the scene of his wedding with Shen Lan.

“Yes!” The two of them had unknowingly embraced each other.

Watching Li Yang and Shen Lan’s affectionate display, Zhou Chao and Jiang Li couldn’t help but intervene. “That’s enough!”

Li Yang and Shen Lan reluctantly separated.

“We’ve explored enough; let’s head back to our rooms for a rest!” After nearly two hours of wandering, Zhou Chao was starting to feel a bit tired.

“Alright, let’s go!” So the four of them headed towards the elevator.

“Li Yang!” Just as they were about to enter the elevator, they heard someone calling their names from nearby.

Li Yang looked towards the source of the voice and was surprised to see someone in the crowd.

“Hey, Young Master Li! Long time no see!” Li Yang walked over, and he and a handsome man in his twenties, dressed in designer casual attire, greeted each other with a hug.

“It’s been a while! When did you board the ship?”

“I just got on today, came with a friend to check it out. Come, let me introduce you to my good buddy!” Saying this, Li Yang pulled the handsome man with him as they approached.

As Zhou Chao looked at the handsome man, who appeared polite, refined, and warm with a friendly smile, he couldn’t help but feel like they had instantly clicked, as if they were old friends.

“This is my good buddy, Zhou Chao! Chao’er, this is my good friend, Li Hao!

He’s the second young master of the Li family’s Hong Kong branch!”

“Hello!” Zhou Chao and Li Hao both extended their right hands and exchanged smiles.

Li Hao, admiring Zhou Chao’s handsome appearance, couldn’t help but think to himself, “Thank goodness I’m not a woman; otherwise, I might fall for him.” Zhou Chao, wearing a stylish short coat that perfectly outlined his physique, combined with his enigmatic half-smile, exuded a captivating charm that piqued one’s curiosity.

“Where are you guys heading?” Li Hao realized that they were about to take the elevator and asked.

“We’re planning to go back to our rooms for some rest. How about joining us?” Li Yang, who hadn’t seen Li Hao in a long time, extended an invitation.

“Will 1 be disturbing you guys?”

“There’s nothing urgent, just catching up. Feel free to join!” Zhou Chao cut to the chase, and Li Hao accepted without further hesitation.

“Alright, give me a moment.” He then waved to a young woman in a princess dress not far away, and she quickly joined them.

“This is my fiancee, He Xin!” The group of six took the elevator back to the floor where they were staying.

As soon as they entered the room, Li Hao couldn’t help but be amazed. The room Zhou Chao and his friends were staying in was incredibly spacious. Even with his family’s wealth, he had only stayed in rooms that were around 50 square meters in size.

“This room is enormous! 1 had no idea there were rooms this large!” Li Hao exclaimed in surprise as soon as he sat down.

“Haha, who would have thought that the Second Young Master of the Li family from Hong Kong Island could still be surprised!” Li Yang laughed heartily at his reaction.

“Alright, Young Master Li, you should stop laughing and maintain some decorum!” The three women who had gathered around also turned their attention to the group.

“Young Master Li, you didn’t know that this ship belongs to Zhou Chao, did you?”

Upon hearing Li Yang’s explanation, Li Hao looked at Zhou Chao with astonishment and then remarked, “When I boarded the ship in Europe, it still belonged to the Royal Caribbean Group. When I returned back to my home country, it had been sold?”

“Well, I recently purchased it.” Zhou Chao’s response was nonchalant, but Li Hao, who knew about the ship, had already elevated Zhou Chao’s position in his mind.

“To buy something worth several billion like it’s nothing, you’re truly remarkable!” Zhou Chao simply smiled in response without saying more.

After chatting for another half hour or so, Li Hao expressed his intention to leave. Meanwhile, Jiang Li and the other two women had bonded like good friends during their conversation.

“He Xin, we’re heading back!”

Zhou Chao and Li Yang escorted the two of them to the elevator, and once they were inside, they returned to their room.

As soon as Zhou Chao lay down on the couch, his phone rang. He checked and saw that it was a call from Bieber!

“Boss, our supplies are all set, and we’re getting ready to leave. If you’re keen, you can head up to the deck and witness the cruise ship making a U-turn.” “Is that so? I’ll head to the deck right away!” After hanging up the phone, Zhou Chao informed Li Yang and the others briefly and then led them to the deck.

By this time, the cruise ship had already started moving. It seemed as though some mysterious force was controlling it, and within less than 10 minutes, the cruise ship executed a perfect turnaround.

“Chao’er, this ship of yours is incredible!” Zhou Chao was quite baffled by the sudden turn of events, but he didn’t dwell on it too much. He figured he would ask Bieber about it later.

“I’m not sure either. We’ll find out when we ask Bieber later.. Let’s go back to our rooms; it’s getting cold outside!”
