As they prepared to go to the theater, the two women lifted their long dresses and stepped onto the diamond-paved crystal stairs.
The winding, long staircase shone brightly under the dazzling lights.
Against the dark floor, it looked like a galaxy descending from the sky.
Ye Yuhe occasionally turned her head to look at Li Yan, who was following behind them and mingling in the crowd.
She pouted and complained softly.
"It's like a tail, so annoying and gets in the way." They might not even have done anything before being tipped off.
Chu Wuyang followed her gaze and glanced at her twice, then asked...
"What's your plan? Jingmin isn't here."
She was thinking that since the two of them hadn't had any contact at all, she couldn't just force them together with words alone.
Ye Yuhe quietly approached and muttered
"Then we'll have to split up. You pretend to go to the bathroom to get away from him, and I'll text you before you come over."
Chu Wuyang gave an OK sign, and the two whispered their secret plot, ignoring those nearby.
Li Yan, who was far away, didn't take it seriously; the boss only said to protect his wife's safety.
Don't worry about anything else, he'll come in person as early as tomorrow.
The two were still chatting and laughing when they were blocked by a large group of people in front of them.
A large group of more than ten people!
Among them were many foreign faces, all dressed in suits and ties, exuding an elite air.
The one leading the group was Chu Yao, one of the two male protagonists who hosted the cruise ship party.
"Ah Yao, you're working again? This is our engagement party, and you're not even here with me!"
Ye Yuhe hurriedly ran over, grabbed Chu Yao's hand, and said coquettishly,
Chu Yao awkwardly withdrew his hand slightly, glancing around sheepishly, and hummed in response.
Upon seeing Chu Wuyang, he greeted her:
"Yangyang, you're here too,"
Chu Wuyang smiled and nodded.
He patted Ye Yuhe's head helplessly, his tone full of affection.
"You play with Yangyang first, I have something to do, I'll play with you later."
Ye Yuhe's eyes lit up, she tiptoed and lightly kissed his cheek, obediently responding...
"good"
As the group walked away, Chu Yao, the future head of the Chu family,...
Aside from what the old man once said about his overly gentle and indecisive personality, he has always been a dazzling presence.
While these occasions are considered private, they also serve as opportunities to bring together various business partners.
They spoke freely and then began to discuss current affairs.
Ye Yuhe was still staring blankly in the direction the crowd had left.
The smile on his face had vanished, replaced by disappointment.
Chu Wuyang placed his hand on her shoulder in a comforting gesture, giving her a gentle reminder.
It's not too late to regret it now.
Ye Yuhe looked up, a smile instantly appearing in her eyes, her tone becoming relaxed.
"It's okay, I know men are all busy with their careers."
Chu Wuyang tilted her head, watching as she confirmed.
"Are you really alright?"
Ye Yuhe hugged her and forced a nod.
As they passed the central reception room, they saw many more bodyguards outside the door.
With a serious expression, Ye Yuhe curiously stepped forward.
Chu Wuyang quickly pulled her along, judging from the size of the bodyguards, they were all mercenaries.
Jing Min had several people of similar stature around him. When he traveled to the Middle East for business and eventually made his way to New York to see her, he was accompanied by quite a few people of that size.
Sharp eyes, high combat skills, wearing uniform masks.
"Only people with specific qualifications should be allowed to enter."
Otherwise, they wouldn't have needed mercenaries.
Even though the cruise ship belongs to their family, because their family business spans the globe,
And because such occasions are rare opportunities to discuss business,
Therefore, there are many people like them who are "out of touch with the world" and don't know them.
No wonder Jing Min insisted on bringing Li Yan along; he must have already found out exactly who the guests were.
"Madam, please leave. This is a casino."
Li Yan had already walked up to them without them noticing, and his harsh voice suddenly rang out.
Ye Yuhe glared at him fiercely, clearly annoyed. He was truly terrifying.
Chu Wuyang glanced at him, indicating her agreement. Jing Min must have explained the situation here to Li Yan.
It's best to avoid trouble at times like these.
Ye Yuhe listened and then excitedly suggested...
"Yangyang, shall we go in and play too?"
Li Yan's expression instantly turned serious, but before he could utter a word of objection,
Chu Wuyang sternly stopped him.
"Let's not. Look at all these people guarding the outside; they're probably not ordinary guests. Even if we announce ourselves and get in, the situation is complicated, and if anything unexpected happens, we'll be too far away to help."
With so many people outside, how could the people inside not know what's going on? If something were to happen on their own turf, it would be a huge loss.
Li Yan nodded silently in agreement, while Ye Yuhe hesitated.
Just then, the door opened, and a man in a well-tailored suit walked out.
A young woman linked her arm with his, occasionally whispering sweet nothings in his ear as they walked intimately together.
The man casually put his hands in his pockets, a faint smile always playing on his lips. He neither rejected nor responded to the woman's flirtatious advances beside him, his expression revealing an indifference to his surroundings.
His posture was casual and composed.
"It's Brother Jin Chu."
Ye Yuhe tugged at Chu Wuyang's sleeve and whispered,
Seeing this, Li Yan frowned, pursed his lips, glanced at Chu Wuyang, and said nothing.
Chu Wuyang looked over and saw that they were on one side of the stairs. Yang Jinchu would inevitably have to pass by them to go downstairs.
Their eyes met unexpectedly.
A slight look of surprise flashed across Yang Jin's eyes.
Then, casually and gently, he pulled his female companion's hand away, and then smiled.
"What a coincidence, you're here too."
Ye Yuhe continued,
"Yes, Brother Jinchu, is that a casino inside? We were just about to go in and play, but there were so many people guarding the outside, so we were about to leave. Luckily you're here, why don't you take us in!"
