188: Chapter 189 Leng Ba, Who Can't Keep His Mouth Close

Those female influencers were also extremely skilled at creating an atmosphere, laughing coyly, interjecting with jokes at the right moments, or sharing interesting anecdotes from within the industry, making the atmosphere on the scene even more lively and joyful.

The women were amused, covering their mouths as they giggled, their bodies shaking with laughter.

Da Mimi laughed so hard she completely lost her composure, almost sliding right off her lounge chair.

District Mayor Zhao Wenhao sat to the side, watching the group before him laughing heartily without a care in the world. A smile appeared on his face involuntarily, but his eyes revealed a trace of imperceptible emotion and faint envy.

This kind of pure happiness, where one is happy just for the sake of being happy, without having to consider any conflicting interests, identity constraints, or political implications, was a long-lost experience for him.

Jiang Jing keenly captured this fleeting emotion and teased with a smile: "Brother Zhao, why does that expression of yours… look like an elderly cadre in his seventies or eighties reminiscing about his youth? That kind of thing isn't welcome on this yacht."

Upon hearing this, District Mayor Zhao Wenhao chuckled and shook his head, his tone carrying a hint of self-mockery and candor: "Not at all, it's just… I usually have too many things on my mind, and the strings are pulled too tight. Suddenly seeing everyone so relaxed and happy, I just felt a bit sentimental."

"This kind of simple and direct happiness is truly something to yearn for."

Jiang Jing laughed heartily and patted his shoulder: "What's so hard about that? If the strings are tight, just loosen them. Today, just throw all those messy things into the sea to feed the fish and just focus on enjoying yourself. Otherwise, wouldn't my yacht be put to waste?"

Infected by his straightforwardness, District Mayor Zhao Wenhao nodded with a smile: "Alright! I'll listen to you. Today, I'll be a carefree idler for once!"

After resting enough and having digested most of their lunch, everyone started looking for new forms of entertainment.

The entertainment facilities on this "heart of the ocean" were top-tier and comprehensive.

Those seeking excitement, like Wang Congcong, Chen He, and others, rushed straight to the jet skis at the stern of the boat. Accompanied by the roar of engines and the screams of the girls, they carved white wakes into the sea surface, playing at high-speed racing on the water.

Those who preferred quiet, like Tong Liya and Li Xibing, chose the infinity pool on the top deck, soaking in the cool seawater, drinking iced beverages, admiring the endless blue seascape, and enjoying the tranquil time.

Leng Ba, Nazha, Zhu Xudan, and a few female influencers ducked into the luxurious KTV room, starting to wail... or rather, show off their singing voices.

Jiang Jing himself was like a king patrolling his territory, joining the fun at the jet skis for a while, belting out a few songs in the KTV room, then wandering over to the poolside to admire the women's swimming postures, feeling incredibly content.

After playing crazily for a while, their energy was completely drained, and everyone chose to soak in the pool to recover their strength.

Naturally, they split into two pools—the ladies occupied a slightly smaller, temperature-controlled pool with massage functions, while the men went to the larger outdoor pool next to it.

In the ladies' pool, Leng Ba and the others leaned lazily against the pool edge, their bodies immersed in the warm water, enjoying the hydrotherapy massage, while taking out their phones to chatter and share the various beautiful photos they had just taken.

"Sister Mi, this one is pretty! Send it to me, send it to me!"

"Nazha, look at this candid shot of me, it's amazing!"

"Wow! Leng Ba, this group photo of yours has such a great vibe!"

When they saw nice landscape photos or solo shots, they were very happy to share them with each other.

But once it involved a photo of just them and Jiang Jing, they basically kept it tightly under wraps, keeping it only for their own collection and never sharing it with anyone else.

Only the big group photos with everyone were generously shared in the group chat.

The few female influencers who were also soaking nearby watched how harmoniously and naturally these big stars got along, without any of the rumored infighting, and couldn't help but feel curious.

One of the bolder influencers smiled and exclaimed: "You sisters have such a great relationship! It's really enviable. It's nothing like some 'sisters' I knew before, who were all lovey-dovey on the surface but secretly wanted to rip each other's hair out; it was all just fake friendship."

The other two influencers nodded in agreement: "Yeah, yeah, friendships between women are too complicated. It's so good to be like you sisters."

Da Mimi revealed a meaningful smile. She brushed back her wet hair and said, half-joking and half-serious: "That's because we already had a good relationship in private, and now… we have a joint alliance agreement! Our relationship is naturally tighter!"

"Alliance?" The influencers' eyes widened in curiosity, "What kind of alliance? Sounds so cool!"

The women looked at each other and just smiled mysteriously, but none of them spoke to explain.

Leng Ba even gave Mimi a dirty look, feeling more and more that this so-called alliance was a bit off as she thought about it…

But her little brain hadn't fully sorted out the logical relationships behind it just yet.

The topic was quickly diverted to the eternal subject of interest for women—skincare, beauty, and maintenance.

The more beautiful a woman is, the more she cares about her appearance, and they could talk endlessly about it.

Naturally, the center of the conversation returned to Jiang Jing and his huanyan beauty serum.

"President Jiang's beauty serum is truly miraculous. I couldn't live without it after using it just once."

"It's simply a godsend for us women; it saved my late-night complexion."

"If only the capacity were several times larger; right now, it's impossible to get hold of…"

The few female stars also joined in the exclamation, their eyes filled with longing: "Yeah, the effect is too good! I wonder if President Jiang has… any higher-level, even more effective versions?"

Leng Ba was enjoying her soak, and in a moment of absent-mindedness, she blurted out without thinking: "Of course there is!"

As soon as the words left her mouth, she felt that something was wrong.

Tong Liya, who was next to her, immediately glared at her, as if to say: You really can't keep a secret.

Leng Ba immediately realized it, quickly covered her mouth, stuck out her tongue, lowered her head, and muttered softly: "Ah… I was just guessing… I was wrong…"

The other women thought that as a spokesperson, she might know some inside information but found it inconvenient to say more. Although they were even more curious, they were sensible enough not to continue pressing, just secretly noting this information.

Only Da Mimi keenly captured Tong Liya's rapid reaction and warning glance after Leng Ba blurted it out. Linking this to Tong Liya's exceptionally good skin condition in the morning and the changes in Leng Ba earlier…

A bold and astonishing guess struck her mind like lightning!

Could it be… that Jiang Jing really has a higher-level beauty serum? And the condition to obtain it is…?!

Her heart pounded wildly, shocked by her own conjecture, but on the surface, she remained calm, silently burying this discovery in her heart.
