190: Chapter 191 Come Keep Me Company

The guest rooms on the heart of the ocean were luxurious and ample, providing everyone with sufficient private space.

Everyone chose their preferred rooms, with the option to enjoy them alone or share with others.

Wang Congcong, Lin Gengxin, and Chen He, the three gaming enthusiasts, naturally gathered in a larger suite, rubbing their hands in anticipation as they prepared to game together until dawn; the clatter of keyboards and mice, along with excited shouts, were destined to ring through the night.

The several female influencers also obediently shared a large suite; after all, being able to board this ship was already an unexpected joy, so they didn't dare to have too many demands, and staying together allowed them to share their excitement and gossip.

The actresses dispersed, with Leng Ba and Nazha sharing one room, Da Mimi and Tong Liya in another, and Zhu Xudan and Li Xibing in a third.

The night sea was exceptionally calm, with only the low hum of the yacht's engine and the gentle lapping of the waves.

Just as everyone was settling in, preparing to rest or find some entertainment, Da Mimi quietly pulled Leng Ba, who was about to return to her room, into an empty corner.

"Leng Ba, tell me honestly," Da Mimi lowered her voice, her beautiful eyes shimmering in the light with wisdom, or perhaps the glow of gossip, "Do you have some good stuff that you've been secretly hiding from us sisters?"

Leng Ba was stunned by the question, her big eyes blinking in confusion: "Huh? Sister Mi, what good stuff are you talking about? I don't have any…"

"Still pretending!" Da Mimi reached out with her slender finger and lightly tapped Leng Ba's tender, smooth cheek, where pores were barely visible, "Your skin condition is ridiculously good!"

"Compared to how you looked in your photos before, you look at least several years younger. It feels like you're so hydrated you'd drip water if pinched, just like an eighteen-year-old girl!"

She paused, her tone becoming certain: "I don't believe that just the nourishment of love could be this effective and long-lasting!"

"The beauty serum works well, but it's definitely not this exaggerated! Tell me, did Jiang Jing give you an even better treasure?"

Leng Ba's heart skipped a beat, and she thought to herself, 'Oh no.'

Her big eyes darted around, and she subconsciously wanted to make up an excuse to brush it off, such as "I've been sleeping really well lately" or "I've been using new skincare products."

But as soon as she met Da Mimi's gaze, which seemed capable of seeing through people, her lame excuses instantly got stuck in her throat, and she couldn't utter a single word.

In front of Yang the Fox, who had been struggling in the entertainment industry for so many years and had become a seasoned pro, her level of skill was simply not enough!

Moreover, when facing Da Mimi, she automatically felt a level lower; this was the invisible pressure a boss exerted over an employee.

Looking at Leng Ba's guilty and speechless appearance, Da Mimi was even more certain. She stepped closer, her voice dropping lower: "Did Jiang Jing give it to you? Can it be bought?"

Like a kitten caught by its tail, Leng Ba hung her head in defeat. She could only nod slightly and mumble softly: "Brother Jiang Jing said… this… is not for sale…"

Upon hearing this, a glint of 'as I thought' flashed in Da Mimi's eyes, immediately followed by a wave of helpless disappointment.

Not for sale… That meant this was likely a top-tier treasure that was truly not for sale, with extremely harsh acquisition conditions, possibly even just as she had speculated…

She gave Leng Ba a meaningful look, sighed, and waved her hand: "Alright, I get it. Go on, go on. Sigh, a girl really can't be kept at home once she's grown up…"

Leng Ba: ???

What kind of wild talk is this…

Mimi didn't press further; she basically had her answer, and continuing to ask would only make her feel frustrated.

She turned around helplessly and went back to her room to sleep, though tonight she was destined to drift off with a hint of envy and complex emotions.

Watching Mimi's retreating back, Leng Ba secretly let out a sigh of relief, patted her chest, and hurriedly slipped back to her room.

…

In the dead of the night, Jiang Jing lay on the absurdly large and soft bed in the master bedroom, one that he could sink into, tossing and turning, yet feeling a bit restless.

Surrounded by so many beautiful women with different styles, yet he had to spend the night alone in an empty room?

This was simply a waste of his "heart of the ocean"! And an "insult" to his character!

Is this appropriate?

Is this reasonable?

Therefore, he decisively picked up his phone and opened Leng Ba's WeChat.

[Jiang Jing]: Are you asleep?

Leng Ba had just finished showering and was lying on the bed, happily filtering and editing the photos taken today, preparing to post a nine-grid collage on her Moments to stun everyone, when she heard the special notification sound and immediately grabbed her phone.

Nazha cast a glance, using her keen eyesight to prepare—to peek!

[Leng Ba]: Not yet~ Editing photos! Brother Jiang Jing, why aren't you asleep yet?

[Jiang Jing]: The long night is endless, and I have no heart to sleep. I thought only I couldn't sleep, but it turns out you're still awake too, little sister Leng Ba. (Smirk.jpg)

[Leng Ba]: (Blush.jpg) Brother Jiang Jing, speak properly~

[Jiang Jing]: Come over and keep me company.

Looking at the four straightforward characters on the screen, Leng Ba's cheeks instantly flushed crimson, and her heartbeat began to accelerate.

Seeing this, the witty Nazha immediately closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.

She stole a glance at Nazha, who seemed to be asleep beside her, and like a thief, held her breath to listen, confirming that the other's breathing was steady.

After a brief internal struggle, her longing and desire for Jiang Jing ultimately gained the upper hand.

[Leng Ba]: Hmm… Nazha seems to be asleep… I… I'll sneak over…

Her little head didn't even think about why Nazha had fallen asleep so early today.

She climbed down from the bed on tiptoes, like an agile little cat, barefoot, carefully turned the doorknob, slipped out, and gently closed the door behind her.

The moment the door closed, the "sleeping" Nazha slowly opened her eyes, looked at the ceiling, and helplessly yet enviously pouted: "Hmph… valuing romance over friendship…"

Leng Ba's heart was pounding. Relying on her memory, she moved quickly through the softly lit corridor and finally arrived at the door of Jiang Jing's master bedroom, which was located on the top floor of the yacht with the best view.

She looked left and right like a thief, then gently turned the doorknob—the door wasn't locked!

She immediately slid in like a little fish, quickly closed the door behind her, leaned her back against the door panel, and let out a long sigh of relief.

In the room, Jiang Jing was leaning against the headboard, looking with a smile at her sneaky, rosy-cheeked, cute appearance.

"Why are you acting like a thief?" he teased.

Leng Ba walked up to Jiang Jing and gave him a coquettish glare. Before she could speak, Jiang Jing reached out with his long arm and pulled her directly into his embrace, where she fell into that warm and solid harbor.

The ocean at night still gently cradled this luxurious palace on the sea, and the temperature inside the palace was quietly rising.

Inside the master bedroom, the lighting was ambiguous.

Falling into Jiang Jing's embrace, Leng Ba was surrounded by his scorching breath.

Jiang Jing lowered his head and took her lips, kissing her passionately and domineeringly.

"Mmph…" Leng Ba felt her tongue almost going numb from being sucked, and breathing became difficult. She weakly pushed against Jiang Jing's chest, letting out a faint whimper in protest.

Finally waiting for Jiang Jing to loosen up a little, she immediately gasped for air, gave him a resentful roll of her eyes, her gaze moist and filled with feigned anger, yet appearing even more alluring.

Just as Jiang Jing was preparing to take the next step, his phone on the nightstand inappropriately began to vibrate with a "buzzing" sound.

Jiang Jing clicked his tongue impatiently, wondering who was interrupting his good time.

He reached out to grab the phone and looked; the name displayed on the screen was—Tong Liya.

Leng Ba also saw the caller ID, her cheeks flushing even redder, and she mumbled softly: "Why is Sister Ya calling at this time…"
