Chapter 186 I'm sorry, I have my OCD.

Photos and videos of the red carpet that evening immediately topped the trending lists on major platforms.

Even though everyone has already experienced Fang Ke's beauty repeatedly, they will still be amazed by the newly appeared Fang Ke.

Especially since she had done her makeup and styling today, she could easily attract everyone's attention just by standing there, truly deserving of the title of female celebrity.

[I'm just a passerby, and I've been glued to this woman's beauty, checking the trending topics for half an hour...]

My sister finally gave me a good talking-to while I cried. She was just trying to appease us all along!

The only person more beautiful than Fang Ke is indeed Fang Ke tomorrow.

In short, Fang Jiajun (a popular online figure) celebrated like it was New Year's Eve that night, with major photo editing bloggers mobilizing and various amazing photos being circulated all over the internet.

At the yacht site, Fang Ke and his team had just accompanied the leaders to unveil the nameplate for the Pearl.

It is said that a contemporary literary master was specially invited to write these three characters. When the red cloth was lifted, the three characters "Mingzhu" appeared in a magnificent and powerful manner, with the brushstrokes flowing like dragons and snakes. The onlookers and all the cameras were focused on these three golden and dazzling characters.

"Auspicious dragon brings good fortune, a new year begins! On this auspicious occasion, let us warmly congratulate the Pearl cruise ship on its maiden voyage!"

Congratulations!

"Congratulations to the Pearl on its brilliant maiden voyage! May it brave the winds and waves and sail towards the world!"

The waiters had already brought out champagne, and everyone raised their glasses in celebration, while someone set off fireworks.

This scene was somewhat exciting for everyone present. Attending such a gathering and witnessing such a moment would fill one with excitement and exhilaration.

After the unveiling ceremony, the group, led by Su Xiaohe and Ms. Wu, shook hands with local leaders and offered their congratulations.

The leaders were very amiable and welcomed them, increasing publicity and exposure for the Pearl. One of the leaders, who had regular features and a reserved and refined demeanor, couldn't help but smile when shaking hands with Fang Ke.

"You must be Fang Ke. You've become so famous lately. All my friends know you."

Fang Ke was surprised, but to be spoken to like that by the leader, especially in front of so many people, was quite a show of respect.

She quickly smiled, somewhat ingratiatingly, "Thank you, sir! You flatter me, it's my pleasure! Hehe, may I ask if your friend needs an autograph? I can write ten autographed pieces for him!"

The leader was puzzled: "...What is TO signature?"

Su Xiaohe broke out in a cold sweat and quickly stepped forward to explain, then scolded Fang Ke, "No respect for elders! How dare you talk nonsense in front of the leader?!"

The leader waved his hand and smiled, "Director Su, don't be nervous, that's good. Don't be so reserved. Now I understand what a TO signature is..."

He paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "But I don't know if my friend wants it or not. He's rather reserved and might be shy. Otherwise, when he gets back later, Miss Fang, would you do me the honor of meeting him and writing him a signature?"

Before Fang Ke could reply, Su Xiaohe had already answered on her behalf, "Of course, of course. Please feel free to call us anytime, leader."

The leader smiled and nodded, then turned to socialize with others.

Su Xiaohe breathed a sigh of relief and quickly pulled Fang Ke away.

"Ancestor, are you trying to scare me to death? You dare to joke with just anyone, do you even know who he is?"

"The mayor of Binhai City?"

"..."

"From the province?"

"...He's from Beijing and he's on TV all the time, what do you think!"

"Wow...but it's alright." Fang Ke genuinely thought it was alright, and these high-ranking leaders were used to flattery, so they might find it interesting to hear flattery that didn't follow the script.

"Look how happy he was just now."

"What are you laughing about! He's cultivated that skill so he always looks at everyone with a friendly smile. Dealing with a big shot like that requires constant vigilance; you might unknowingly offend him."

"Anyway, we won't see each other again after today's event, so who cares..."

After she finished speaking, she was really annoyed by Su Xiaohe's nagging, so she asked about the others.

When they went to offer toasts earlier, all of them went, but Xiao Yichen just stood by and watched coldly without stepping forward.

His status did give him the right to do so, but he was gone in the blink of an eye.

"I saw Xiao Yichen go up to the deck just now. The other four probably ran upstairs after they finished here. There are so many fun facilities upstairs, and they all went crazy playing on them."

As soon as Su Xiaohe finished speaking, he saw Fang Ke walking out and hurriedly called out, "Where are you going again? Don't run away, come with me to see the official performance today. We need one or two more people to be there."

"Brother Su, please don't drag me along. I'll be bored to death. I haven't even been on a cruise ship yet. You want me to go and have a look?"

Fang Ke blinked her bright eyes and looked at him expectantly.

"..."

Su Xiaohe was defeated and could only wave her away.

"I don't care where you run off to, you have to come back for the masquerade ball later, that's the highlight of our show!"

"Okay~"

After she finished speaking, she smiled and lifted her skirt to go up to the deck.

She spotted Xiao Yichen immediately upon emerging. His striking figure made him stand out even in the night. The man also saw her, a glint in his eyes, assuming she had come specifically to find him.

But Fang Ke walked straight past him.

Xiao Yichen: "..."

Xiao Yichen stared at her slender back and her incredibly thin waist, his hands resting on the railing clenched into fists.

He was furious and followed closely behind, wanting to say a few more words to Fang Ke.

"Fang Ke..." The man had already caught up with Fang Ke a few steps behind him.

Fang Ke gestured for him to be quiet.

Xiao Yichen was taken aback. Following Fang Ke's gaze, he saw a man and a woman standing face to face in the passage not far ahead.

The man had his back to them, while the woman looked very beautiful and elegant, wearing a high-end custom-made suit dress and high heels. She held a slender cigarette between her index and middle fingers and flicked her long hair towards the man opposite her, exuding a mature and alluring charm.

She smiled, her red lips curving upwards, "Xiao Ye, can I borrow a light?"

That woman was the same powerful woman Fang Ke had seen in the private room, the one who had directly expressed interest in Ye Si.

Fang Ke looked at them with a cool gaze, and the person with his back to her was naturally Ye Si.

The man had broad shoulders and long legs; a simple shirt and trousers perfectly accentuated his figure, giving him an outstanding presence.

Yes's hair was ruffled by the sea breeze. He probably didn't know there were two people standing behind him. He just put one hand in his pocket and said indifferently, "Sorry, Sister Yu, I didn't bring any."

The woman known as "Sister Yu" was not displeased; instead, she looked over with tender, delicate eyes.

"Light it for me with your cigarette, okay?"

Ye Si's slender left hand also held a cigarette, its faint glow flickering against the dark blue sky.

Before Fang Ke could react, Little B had already yelled, "Holy crap! He dares! Ye Si, you can't!"

"Host! This woman is clearly skilled; this isn't her first time flirting with guys. She's got a knack for it!"

"Host! What do we do! Damn it, the plot is over, but these male leads still have so many female admirers, damn it!"

He was still in a state of collapse when he heard Ye Si's cold voice, which was more serious than before.

"I'm sorry, I have OCD."

After the man finished speaking, he stubbed out his cigarette on the railing.

Yu Jie, who was harshly rejected: "..."

Little B, having cleared the air, said, "Alright, alright, you've got a conscience. You're currently the male lead with the highest favorability rating, so be sensible and don't let me misjudge you!"

Fang Ke suddenly said to him, "Can you be quiet for a bit?"

Little B: "..."

Little B immediately fell silent.

Good heavens, the host's polite question is more terrifying than telling him to shut up directly; it's like the eerie calm before the storm.

Ahead of them, Sister Yu quickly adjusted her expression and laughed, "Xiao Ye, you really don't understand romance. Have you broken the hearts of many girls?"

Yes remained silent.

Sister Yu said again, "You really hurt me today. You must dance with me at the dance later so that my wounded heart can heal."

After Yu Jie finished speaking, her expression suddenly changed, and she stared blankly at Ye Si's back.

Yes noticed this as well. Just as he was about to turn his head, a pair of slender, familiar arms suddenly wrapped around him from behind. Yes froze, only to smell a fresh and charming fragrance, and then a soft, slightly cool touch landed on his long neck.

Yes: "..."

Xiao Yichen: "..."

Sister Yu: "..."

Fang Ke wrapped her arms around Yes's waist from behind, stood on tiptoe and kissed his neck with a crisp sound. Then, she leaned over Yes's shoulder, smiled faintly, and greeted Sister Yu.

"Excuse me, beautiful lady, he can't dance with you, otherwise... I'll be unhappy."
