Chapter 629: Woman, Be Brave

Looking at the yacht docked at the pier, a satisfied smile appeared on Shang Rongyan's lips.

Perfect, simply perfect.

It feels so good to be rich. This yacht, the [Angel's Heart], was custom-made by her brother, Shang Yanxiong, in the United States for a staggering 3 billion USD.

Even on a global scale, it is definitely a top-tier existence.

Not to say it's the first or second, but it's certainly firmly in the top five.

Shang Rongyan glanced at Zheng Qian, expecting to see an expression like that of a lecherous fan.

But she never expected that he would just be squatting on the ground, smoking and chatting with Duan Qiran.

He didn't even glance at the yacht???

Or could it be that he doesn't actually know that's her yacht?

Shang Rongyan coughed, intending to tell Zheng Qian that it was just her toy.

But at that moment, several people rushed up to her.

If it weren't for the bodyguards blocking them, they probably would have climbed all over Shang Rongyan.

"Oh my god! My dear Shang, is this your family's yacht? It's truly amazing! Honestly, I've been producing this socialite show for so long, and I've seen the assets of many girls' families, but not one! Not even one has such an enviable yacht! Darling, can we go up now?"

The girl speaking was named Celinka.

She was Shang Rongyan's classmate when she studied abroad in the United States, and after graduation, she became a television producer.

Her show is called 《Hello! Socialite!》 and it covers the lives of socialites around the world, with decent ratings.

The first season mainly featured socialites from the United States, inviting people like the Kardashians.

The second season is planned to go global, following a route through Asia, Africa, Latin America, Europe, and finally returning to North America.

Actually, for a socialite of Shang Rongyan's level, it would normally be beneath her to participate in such a show and expose herself to the public.

For instance, Monica Kennedy, who had been slept with by Wei Rusi, didn't respond at all even though she received an invitation.

But Shang Rongyan is different; she is a celebrity, after all.

Plus, with her old classmate's relentless invitations, she thought appearing once wouldn't do any harm.

"Hehe, of course."

While speaking, Shang Rongyan intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Zheng Qian, and was instantly furious again.

It turned out that halfway through their cigarette, Zheng Qian and Duan Qiran seemed to have discovered a few lost ants.

So, on a whim, they used their cigarette butts to draw circles on the ground.

Those ants were trapped inside the circles, carrying breadcrumbs and looking for a way out everywhere.

Zheng Qian and Duan Qiran were having a great time.

Shang Rongyan clenched her delicate fists.

If it weren't for her image, she would definitely take off her high heels right now and smash them into Zheng Qian's face!

What a tasteless man, with such a world-class yacht standing right before him, and a big star like her by his side.

He actually went to the side to play with ants? Is that something a human would do?

"Hmm? Shang, are you not feeling well? It's already autumn, and the season is changing, are you catching a cold? Don't worry, our production team has a professional doctor. How about I have him come and take a look at you? Colin! Come here!"

Celinka waved her hand, and a young, handsome, tall, blonde man walked over.

She quickly said, "Quick, help our socialite take a look. She seems a bit uncomfortable and keeps shivering."

He nodded slightly in a very gentlemanly manner, knelt on one knee, and said affectionately, "Beautiful Miss Shang, I graduated from the top medical school in the United States, the University of Pennsylvania, and was even voted the 2023 Best..."

"No need, get away, stay away from me."

Before he could finish, Shang Rongyan interrupted him with extreme impatience.

A flash of imperceptible shame and anger crossed Colin's face, but he quickly returned to his usual gentlemanly appearance.

He shrugged at the somewhat embarrassed Celinka and said self-deprecatingly, "It seems Miss Shang is in very good health right now. From how decisively she could reject such an excellent doctor, it's clear she must be eager to set sail."

Shang Rongyan never had a good expression for men who were so full of themselves.

No, to be more precise, except for Shang Yanxiong, she never had a good expression for any man.

Even with her father, Shang Yizhou, she would refute him whenever she could, fighting against everything and everyone.

She was just shivering with anger earlier; she didn't expect Zheng Qian and Duan Qiran to be so obsessed with playing with ants.

She could even vaguely hear that the two of them seemed to be holding their belts, searching for an ant hole, preparing to "release the long dragon" to drown them.

Scumbag, truly cruel.

And so lewd; chatting about this in front of a girl is really a turn-off.

Pei Moyan came over to smooth things over and said with a smile, "We arrived earlier and were chatting with Ms. Celinka. Let's go now; we've already notified the hotel, and they won't be receiving other guests for the time being. They are currently preparing the ingredients."

"Hmm, go call them too. Don't embarrass us in front of the foreigners."

Shang Rongyan spat with resentment.

After saying this, she turned around, stepped in her high heels, and went up the yacht first with a clattering sound.

"Are they... Shang's friends? Do they need to be interviewed too? Hmm, I mean, if they also have a need to appear on camera, I'll need to reorganize the script and set up some scenes for them."

Celinka glanced at Zheng Qian not far away and said.

"Oh, they are just simple friends, don't take it to heart."

"And there's no need to include them in the footage."

Pei Moyan added, then walked towards Zheng Qian.

She patted his shoulder and whispered, "Hey, Shang Rongyan noticed us chatting earlier and thought I was trying to hit on you. Will this affect your grand plan? You've gone to such lengths to pursue Shang Rongyan; I don't want to ruin your good work."

Zheng Qian carefully picked up the ants and placed them back on their original path.

Then he stood up and said in Pei Moyan's ear, "Listen, woman, if you want to hit on me, you don't have to use others as an excuse. Be brave. I've said before that I don't like Shang Rongyan; I have my own reasons for coming here. As long as you don't go around revealing my identity, I won't do anything to you, let alone use three years to leave you with a lifetime of trauma."

"Pfft, who wants to hit on you."

Pei Moyan spat and quickly took a few steps to catch up with Shang Rongyan.

Zheng Qian, of course, wasn't worried that Shang Rongyan would recognize him.

First of all, she never cared about Shang Yanxiong's business affairs, or enemies like him.

Because in her view, no one could be her brother's opponent.

Secondly, Zheng Qian also wasn't worried that her bodyguards would reveal his identity.

Although, logically speaking, any suspicious person appearing around the young lady would need to be investigated and confirmed.

However, after Zheng Qian purchased the book 《Top Secret Base Station》 from the Mysterious Shop at a high price, he could be completely at ease.

He had already sent people to take control of all the communication base stations along the way.

Any messages sent from these people's phones would be intercepted by him immediately.

He could even forge replies to their messages.

Perhaps after they returned to Shanghu, they would discover that they had been chatting with thin air the whole time.

But that would only happen if they were alive to return to Shanghu.

Thinking of this, Zheng Qian glanced at Colin thoughtfully.

He took Duan Qiran and boarded the Angel's Heart.
