Romance Variety Show: The aloof and beautiful fourth female lead is always coveted.

Gu Jinxing's words would be hard for any pair of parents to accept.

Mr. Bai frowned, and was about to speak when his wife interrupted him.

"Xiao Jin," Bai's mother said in a hoarse voice, "you've made up your mind, haven't you?"

Gu Jinxing nodded silently: "Dad, Mom... I'm sorry."

"I thought about giving up, about distancing myself from Xiao Chu, about burying all those feelings that shouldn't exist deep in my heart, and just being her brother for the rest of my life."

"But I can't do it."

Gu Jinxing raised his eyelids, his gaze intense and resolute.

"My love for her is more than just that of a brother."

"I will not let Xiao Chu suffer any injustice, nor will I allow anyone to point fingers at her. As for the Bai family's reputation, I will do everything in my power to protect it."

Bai's mother's eyes reddened, and she opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a single word.

After a long silence, Bai's father could only let out a long sigh.

"...Do as you please, just don't let Xiao Chu get hurt."

Mr. Bai paused, then said in a deep voice, "You too."

Gu Jinxing suddenly froze.

His usually composed and restrained eyes flashed with emotion, and the corners of his eyes reddened slightly.

He suppressed the turmoil in his chest, stepped forward to hug Mr. and Mrs. Bai, and thanked them softly:

"Dad, Mom, thank you for your understanding."

"I will make Xiao Chu happy."

……

Gu Jinxing stood at the top of the stairs, looking towards Bai Nianchu in the living room.

As if sensing something, Bai Nianchu suddenly looked up, her gaze, filled with concern, falling directly into his eyes.

A tender look appeared in Gu Jinxing's eyes.

All the anxiety and unease about the future vanished in an instant at this moment.

My heart felt as if it were coated with a thick layer of icing sugar, and even my breath tasted sweet.

"Are you alright?" Bai Nianchu asked as he approached.

"I'm fine," Gu Jinxing said with a smile. "My parents agreed."

After dinner, we left the Bai family's house.

Xu Muyang stretched, his tone filled with a relieved joy: "We've passed the parents' test, right?"

Mr. and Mrs. Bai looked gentle and peaceful, yet they exuded an aura that made people feel uneasy.

She gives off a similar vibe to Gu Jinxing...

No, it should be said that Gu Jinxing resembles Bai's father and mother very much. Should we say they are truly a family?

Luo Chuan said to Bai Nianchu with great interest, "Host, how about we go on our honeymoon together?"

"It's only a honeymoon after we get the marriage certificate," Su Yi'an corrected with a smile. "Does Nianchu want to go on a trip? I can ask for leave."

Others also expressed their willingness to make time at any time.

"A trip? Sure." Chen Yuze turned to look at Bai Nianchu, his voice low and chuckled. "Wife, I just happened to have prepared a gift for you."

The crowd glared at them angrily: "What are you shouting about? You can only call someone your wife after you've got the marriage certificate!"

*

Three months later, in early summer.

The group arrived at the port with their passports and luggage, only then learning what the gift Chen Yuze had mentioned was—

He gifted Bai Nianchu a private yacht.

The cruise ship is estimated to be over 100 meters long and 12 stories high. Its silvery-white hull reflects the morning light, and from a distance, it looks like a floating palace moored on the shore.

According to Chen Yuze, the cruise ship is equipped with two helicopter landing pads, a huge swimming pool and a diving center, and has more than 30 suites inside.

The leisure area includes a bar, coffee shop, spa, cinema, chess and card room, rooftop viewing terrace, and library; the sports area features a gym, vertical climbing wall, wakeboarding, and ball sports such as golf, bowling, and squash.

In the evening, there are also fireworks displays and dance parties at sea.

This trip abroad lasted a total of fifteen days, and the destination was the Maldives.

With this cruise ship, sea voyages will never be boring.

Everyone was stunned speechless by Chen Yuze's actions.

No one could have imagined that Chen Yuze's so-called "gift" would actually be a private cruise ship!

This is truly a case of "silence before the storm, but a stunning revelation when it does."

Most people may never have the opportunity to travel on a cruise ship in their lifetime, let alone own a giant cruise ship that is more than ten stories high.

Even Bai Nianchu's eyes widened in surprise, and it took her a while to speak: "...Why send a cruise ship?"

"Don't you like traveling?" Chen Yuze raised an eyebrow and said, "With this cruise ship, you can go wherever you want and stay as long as you want."

He preferred this one-time solution to sending plane and ship tickets.

After all, the former could only take her to a certain destination, while this cruise ship would allow her to roam freely across the entire ocean.

Bai Nianchu fell silent: "..."

She originally thought that the pink diamond, worth 100 million, was Chen Yuze's dowry for his wife.

I never expected him to do something even more outrageous.

It's really a wonder he was willing to give it away.

Xu Muyang was so shocked that he couldn't even feel a sour taste in his mouth.

"Chen Yuze... how much did you pay for that cruise ship?"

"It wasn't bought, it was built by my family." Chen Yuze answered their questions with a nonchalant tone that made everyone grit their teeth. "My family owns a shipyard. This cruise ship, including customization and construction, cost around three billion, which is cheaper than buying it from outside."

Xu Muyang: "..."

Owns a shipyard, costing 3 billion...

Is this even human language?

It's true what they say, comparisons are the thief of joy.

Xu Muyang can now be considered a pillar of the A City Grand Theater.

Even during peak season, with 20 consecutive performances a month and the occasional GG endorsement, his highest monthly income was only around 500,000.

His income is already at the very top of the pyramid among stage actors.

But compared to Chen Yuze, this "financial prospect" is instantly crushed into dust.

The other men also felt a mix of emotions.

However, they did not remain depressed for long and quickly calmed down.

No matter how rich she is, isn't she still going to be Nian Chu's lover with them?

Even if Bai's parents acknowledge him as their boyfriend, wouldn't he still only be a mistress in public?

Family background is something you're born with; if you can't compare, you simply can't.

Perhaps with hard work and effort later on, they can catch up with Chen Yuze.

But now—instead of wasting resources on internal squabbles, it's better to try to get Bai Nianchu's attention and do what they can.

Once on the cruise ship, the men's minds became even more active.

Especially when Bai Nianchu changed into her swimsuit and lay on the sun lounger on the deck, her long, slender, snow-white legs were particularly alluring. Her long legs were slightly crossed, and the flesh of her legs was pressed into light red marks by the chair surface, even her heels were pinkish-white.

The scene was far too erotic.

Everyone's heads started to spin...

The gazes fixed on Bai Nianchu grew increasingly intense and obscure.
