"Perfect!" Luu Qi nodded in satisfaction as she looked at the photos Xia Liang had captured on his camera. From the joy in her eyes, Xi Yiqian, who was standing nearby, could tell she was thrilled.

"Let's take the yacht out to sea," Luu Qi suggested.

"Huh?"

The DSLR camera in Xia Liang's hands was already drawing a lot of attention. Now, at the mention of a yacht, the eyes of several girls nearby lit up.

"Hey, handsome, I heard you're going out to sea. Can I come along?" a girl with her hair tied in a cute bun asked. Before Xia Liang could reply, another woman, Big Wave, squeezed her way forward.

"Yeah, handsome! The more, the merrier. Can you include me? I have some friends who could join us too, if that's okay." As she spoke, Big Wave gave Xia Liang a flirtatious wink, her chest heaving like turbulent waves, unfathomably deep.

So that's her angle! Xia Liang now understood. Though she wasn't nearly as beautiful as Xi Yiqian or Luu Qi, she had the audacity to hit on him. He realized it was because, unlike the other two who were more reserved, this woman wasn't afraid to be provocative.

Just as Xia Liang was about to refuse, Luu Qi suddenly clung to his arm. "Hey, lady, do you have any self-awareness at all? He has both of us. Do you really think he'd even glance your way?" Luu Qi said, tugging at Xi Yiqian.

Feeling self-conscious under everyone's gaze, Xi Yiqian had instinctively looked down. But when she realized someone was hitting on Xia Liang, she defiantly lifted her small face and stared directly at Big Wave.

The deterrent power of Xi Yiqian's beauty was undeniable. All the other women seemed to fade in comparison.

Xia Liang smiled. He hadn't expected Xi Yiqian to stand up for him in front of so many people. Ignoring the women who had come over to flirt, he said, "Let's go. We need to buy a few things before we head out."

"Okay!" the two girls agreed instantly, heading toward a nearby shop.

Xia Liang's first stop was to buy fishing equipment, while Luu Qi and Xi Yiqian went off to buy snacks and drinks.

After half an hour of shopping, the three of them arrived at the harbor.

"Why all the secrecy? What did you two actually buy?" Xia Liang asked, a little exasperated that they wouldn't even let him shop with them.

"We're not telling. It's a surprise for later," Luu Qi said with a mysterious smile, turning to nudge Xi Yiqian beside her.

At her words, Xi Yiqian's face flushed crimson, as if she had just remembered something. Are we really going to do that later? How embarrassing... But... if it's with Xia Liang, it should be fine.

As Xi Yiqian was lost in her thoughts, Xia Liang led them toward his yacht.

She looked at the vessel. Spanning 143 meters in length and rising 91 meters high, the four-story yacht still took Luu Qi's breath away, even though she had tried to prepare herself.

"Oh my God! Bro! This thing is huge! How much did it cost?"

"Not that expensive. Just 500 Yuan."

Even knowing Xia Liang's wealth, Luu Qi was stunned. She hissed, "Five hundred Yuan!"

Xi Yiqian also spoke up meekly, "It's so big... Is it just going to be the three of us?"

"Who else?" Xia Liang waved his hand. "Come on, let's get on board."

The sight of them boarding the massive yacht naturally attracted a crowd of onlookers.

"Holy crap! Look! Someone's finally getting on that yacht that's been docked for half a month!"

"No way! Seriously? And it's just three of them?"

"Yeah! If it were me, I'd bring at least a dozen hot girls on board!"

"Dude, it's about quality, not quantity! Look at those two girls. They'd outshine a whole red carpet of celebrities."

"Damn! I heard that yacht has a sale price of 500 Yuan. Even renting it must cost a fortune, right?"

"So these are the kinds of women who hang out with tycoons? I'm so jealous."

Amidst the chorus of envious voices, Xia Liang led the two women onto the yacht.

After they frolicked on the deck for a little while, Luu Qi was suddenly struck by a serious problem. "Bro... did you hire a captain?"

"Why would I need to hire a captain?" Xia Liang smiled, and with a flick of his wrist, a boat pilot's license appeared in his hand.

"Wow!" Luu Qi's eyes widened in disbelief. "You can pilot a boat, too?"

"Of course." Xia Liang was perfectly calm. Airplanes, tanks—anything that could be driven, he could handle.

The admiring gaze from Xi Yiqian filled Xia Liang with immense satisfaction.

"Alright, alright, let's get going!"

"Yes! Hoist the sails!"

With a grand wave from Luu Qi and Xi Yiqian, the enormous yacht began to move, heading out toward the vast Starry Sea.

After two hours of sailing, they were surrounded by the open ocean. Xia Liang switched the yacht to autopilot and went up to the deck, only to find the two women gone. In their place were three empty beach chairs.

Just as he was wondering where they went, a voice called out from behind him.

"Bro! How do I look?"

Xia Liang turned to see Luu Qi standing there in an orange bikini. It was a monokini, with the sides of her waist completely exposed, showcasing a pair of long, pale legs that seemed to glow in the sunlight.

Holy hell! Xia Liang's mouth twitched involuntarily. Well now! She's certainly blossoming into a woman.

Seeing his reaction, Luu Qi giggled. "Sister Yiqian! Come on out!"

"I... I can't... I'm too shy..." Xi Yiqian's voice drifted from inside the cabin.

No way... could it be? Xia Liang's heart skipped a beat, and he swallowed subconsciously.

The next second, Luu Qi dragged Xi Yiqian out from the cabin. She was also in a bikini, but a blue one. Unlike Luu Qi's, Xi Yiqian's was a bit more conservative, covering her waist but revealing her back.

Seeing Xi Yiqian dressed so boldly for the first time, Xia Liang could only stare, his eyes wide.

Damn! His breathing grew heavy. It wasn't that he lacked self-control; the 99-point beauty that was Xi Yiqian was simply too stunning.

"Does it... look good?" Xi Yiqian's delicate voice floated over. Though she tried to act nonchalant, her quiet tone betrayed her nervousness.

"It looks amazing! You're absolutely gorgeous."

"Really?" Xi Yiqian was overjoyed at his praise.

"Really," Xia Liang nodded emphatically.

Luu Qi stood to the side, looking incredibly proud of herself. "So? What do you think?"

Xia Liang immediately knew this was the "surprise" Luu Qi had been talking about. "Incredible! This is... really something."

Just then, Luu Qi's voice rang out again. "You think this is it?"

As Xia Liang watched in confusion, Luu Qi pulled Xi Yiqian down to lie on one of the beach chairs and took out a bottle of sunscreen.

"Would you be willing to be of service to two lovely ladies?"

Holy hell! Who could possibly resist a scene like this?!

Seeing Xi Yiqian's blushing face buried in her hands, Xia Liang's playful side took over. He walked over. "Of course."

Xia Liang squeezed some sunscreen onto his hand and began to spread it on Xi Yiqian's back. The moment he touched her, he felt her entire body tense up. She was clearly extremely nervous.

"Relax," Xia Liang said gently.

"Oh, okay," she mumbled.

Although Xi Yiqian agreed out loud, her body remained stubbornly tense. Not wanting to keep her on edge, Xia Liang chuckled. "Xiao Qi, why don't you two help each other? I'm going to go change into my swimsuit."
