After their passionate kiss on the North Star, Qing Zijing, her cheeks still flushed, couldn't wait to start taking pictures of the beautiful scenery on the Spectrum of the Seas.

The two strolled around taking pictures, and when they arrived at a luxury shopping mall, Chen Ming picked out several long dresses, a few elegant bags, and a few exquisite pieces of jewelry for her.

This time, Qing Zijin did not refuse and obediently accepted his feelings.

Clearly, she was mentally prepared; she was just waiting to return to her room that night, where she would give herself to Chen Ming without reservation...

Chapter 220: The Dream of a Psychology Girl

After accompanying Qing Zijin shopping, Chen Ming suggested going to the lower deck of the cruise ship—actually, his real intention was not shopping, but to see if he could find one or two clean and extremely beautiful girls.

Qing Zijin readily agreed—it was her first time boarding such a luxurious cruise ship, so naturally she wanted to explore every corner; she couldn't just visit the upscale areas, could she?

As for Chen Ming's scheme, she could roughly guess it.

However, seeing through things but not saying them is a kind of wisdom in dealing with the world.

Moreover, according to Liu Rushuang and Su Mengdie, Chen Ming has at least six concubines!

So, by that logic, she herself is Xiao Qi—this self-identity actually makes her feel at ease, and there's no need for her to be jealous.

Therefore, Qing Zijin didn't care about Chen Ming's promiscuity. If Chen Ming was truly devoted to one person, then there would be no point in her getting involved.

The two rode the elevator downhill. As the elevator doors opened, a lively atmosphere mixed with the sweet smell of popcorn, a faint smell of alcohol, and electronic music rushed towards them.

The lower deck was like another city that never sleeps: the neon-lit arcade was bustling with noise, the bars were filled with the low hum of blues, and the KTV rooms were filled with off-key screams... The variety of entertainment facilities was no less than that of the upper deck, only the prices were cheaper.

Sure enough, among the bustling crowd, there were quite a few pretty young models and internet celebrities dressed in revealing clothes, confirming what the two middle-aged men had said.

As Chen Ming walked, he used the system's appraisal function and encountered many girls whose overall appearance score was over 80.

Unfortunately, the number of power banks they have is frighteningly large, mostly starting in double digits, with single digits being extremely rare!

After a quick tour, it was getting dark.

Since we ate expensive food at a fancy restaurant for lunch, we naturally had to try the free meal for dinner.

Having found nothing, Chen Ming led Qing Zijin into the buffet restaurant on the Spectrum of the Seas—all three meals here are provided free of charge, or rather, the cost is included in the cruise ticket, so most economy class passengers choose to eat here, making it one of the busiest areas on the cruise ship…

The buffet restaurant mainly serves Western food, with golden and crispy fried chicken, steaming hot pizzas, and tempting stacks of burgers...

Of course, there are also a considerable number of Chinese dishes, including all eight major cuisines.

Just as Chen Ming picked up a tray, preparing to get some of his favorite food...

Qing Zijin, who was next to him, nudged his waist and whispered, "Wow, senior, look! That girl is so pretty!"

Qing Zijin knew she couldn't stop Chen Ming's womanizing ways, so she simply showed her tolerant and magnanimous side.

The key point is that the girl was really beautiful. Even Qing Zijin, who was a girl herself, found her pleasing to the eye, which is why she took the initiative to remind her.

Chen Ming followed her gaze and saw a girl in a white dress sitting quietly by the window, like a handful of fresh snow that had strayed into the hustle and bustle.

Beige high heels accentuated her slender ankles, while a simple necklace and earrings shimmered softly under the light.

At this moment, her entire focus was on making a beef burger: a thick, juicy beef patty resting on a soft bun, topped with bright red tomato slices, emerald green pickles, drizzled with a generous amount of creamy white salad dressing, covered with golden, melted cheese, and layered with sweet pineapple slices... Finally, a whole beef patty was placed on top before the top bun was placed on top.

The girl held the "jumbo" in both hands, lowered her head, and with an almost reverent sense of satisfaction, took a big bite. A little sauce spilled onto her lips, but she was oblivious, completely absorbed in the feast for her taste buds.

This homemade beef burger even made the kid at the next table drool...

Chen Ming was also tempted by the sight, but he wasn't craving the hamburger. Instead, he was craving the girl's beautiful face and graceful figure, especially her long, slender legs that were casually crossed under the table, peeking out from under her skirt. They were fair, straight, and very eye-catching.

I wonder how she manages to maintain such a great figure despite eating so much?

And how did she manage to stuff the hamburger into those rosy cherry lips?

This gave Chen Ming a bold idea.

System, check!

Name: Hua Qianhui

Age: 21

[Height]: 168cm

[Weight]: 55kg

Overall Appearance: 90

[Power Bank]: 0

[Status]: Good health

[Favorability]: 0

Alright, alright, after searching for ages on the massive Spectrum of the Seas, I've finally found a beautiful girl who meets both my looks and purity requirements.

However, Chen Ming did not act immediately. Instead, he smiled and patted Qing Zijin's head approvingly:

"Zijin has great taste! That girl is really pretty!"

Then he changed the subject, "However, nothing is more important than eating, so let's fill our stomachs first."

After saying that, he led Qing Zijin to the dazzling array of food, selected her favorite dishes, and sat down to eat leisurely.

The reason for not taking immediate action was not out of consideration for Qing Zijin's feelings.

The main reason was that Chen Ming didn't know the financial resources of this girl named Hua Qianhui, and he needed to observe her further.

What if the other person is a rich woman who just came to the buffet to experience the hardships of ordinary people?

If he just went up to her and said he wanted to keep her as a mistress, wouldn't he be asking for trouble?

As for why Chen Ming insisted on being kept by a sugar daddy, it's mainly because he had a harem, so he definitely couldn't follow the normal path of "dating and getting married".

Just as Chen Ming and Qing Zijin were enjoying their buffet dinner, a man who looked to be in his thirties approached Hua Qianhui. He was wearing a white suit and sophisticated gold-rimmed glasses, and struck up a conversation:

"Beautiful lady, are you alone?"

"Chew, chew, chew... gulp..."

Hua Qianhui was struggling to swallow the thick meat pie in her mouth. She finally managed to swallow it and looked up with a slight frown on her face. Her tone was one of offended confusion: "Of course I'm alone. Why are you talking so strangely? Are you insulting me?"

"Oh dear, beautiful lady, you've misunderstood!"

The man with the wire-rimmed glasses immediately adopted an apologetic posture and pointed to the empty seat opposite her, "Because there are too many people in the buffet restaurant and there are no seats available, I was just wondering if anyone is sitting next to you, and if I can share a table with you?"

After hearing the explanation from the man with the gold-rimmed glasses, Hua Qianhui nodded in sudden understanding and said:

"Oh, I see. Okay then. I'll be finished eating soon."

As she spoke, Hua Qianhui buried her head and sped up her eating, her cheeks bulging like a little squirrel trying to hoard food.

Seeing that the "little squirrel" was about to finish its food and run away, the man with the gold-rimmed glasses didn't bother to go and get the food.

He immediately sat down opposite me, offering a tempting offer with a beaming smile: "Thank you for sharing the table with me. In return, how about I accompany you to pick out a small gift after you finish your meal? It's just a small token of my appreciation."

After all, his purpose in sharing the table wasn't to eat, but to strike up a conversation. If the girl was gone by the time he returned with the food, what was the point of sharing the table?

"Chew, chew, chew... gulp..."

Hua Qianhui swallowed her food again, her big, innocent eyes blinking with pure curiosity: "A gift? What gift?"

That innocent and adorable look made her seem like a little girl who knew nothing of the world.

The man with the gold-rimmed glasses felt a surge of heat in his heart and immediately explained:

"You can buy whatever you like. But, for ordinary friends, it's only one gift... If our relationship gets to the next level, then that's a different story."

This is a common tactic used by men with wire-rimmed glasses to pick up women: first, they use gifts to lure them in, then they reel them in. It's extremely efficient; if it works, great; if not, they move on to someone even more docile!

Since the money is in his hands, he won't have to worry about not having women, so there's no need to fixate on one person.

Upon hearing this, Hua Qianhui suddenly chuckled and stopped pretending to be stupid.

She put down her hamburger, elegantly wiped the sauce stains from the corner of her mouth with a napkin, and spoke frankly:

"I can buy whatever I want? Really? That's wonderful!" She rested her chin on her hands, her eyes sparkling, as if expressing a beautiful wish. "I've always wanted to buy a small villa in my hometown, Wujun. I've found a location, and it should cost around eight million. If you could really buy it for me—" she deliberately dragged out her words, her smile sweet yet mischievous, "not only would our relationship take a step further, we could even go straight to the Civil Affairs Bureau and get our marriage certificate!"

?

Eight million?

These three words struck the carefully maintained composure of the man with the gold-rimmed glasses like an invisible hammer. His smile froze instantly, and the corner of his mouth twitched almost imperceptibly.

Although he could afford it, he wasn't a fool blinded by beauty!

He uses gifts to attract customers, usually luxury bags, clothes, or shoes worth tens of thousands of yuan!

Even though the girl in front of him was indeed prettier than the minor models and internet celebrities he had slept with before, his expectation was that he would only spend a maximum of 100,000 yuan to trick her into having some fun...

Unexpectedly, the other party demanded 800 million yuan and even wanted to get married and have half of his assets divided?

This is outrageous!

The man with the gold-rimmed glasses suddenly stood up as if he had been burned, the chair legs scraping against the tiles with a piercing noise.

He looked down at Hua Qianhui, whose face remained innocent and guileless, his gaze as if he were looking at a meticulously disguised con artist, and through gritted teeth, he forced out a sarcastic reply:

"Ha! Want to make a wish? You'd be better off going to a temple to burn incense!"

Having said that, he didn't want to linger for even a second longer. He turned and strode away into the noisy crowd, his back view screaming "cut your losses now!"

Hua Qianhui, however, paid no attention to the bespectacled man's sarcasm. With a smile on her face, she picked up a napkin and slowly wiped the salad dressing off her fingertips before continuing to eat at the buffet.

However, the little voice in her head was rolling her eyes and secretly complaining: Sister Manman's "luxury cruise ship fishing for rich guys plan" was indeed unreliable. Fortunately, she didn't have any expectations to begin with.

This trip aboard the Spectrum of the Seas was arranged by Hua Qianhui's best friend, Wang Manman.

The incident began when someone in the Wu County socialite group that Wang Manman frequented posted about their success in "capturing" a rich second-generation on a luxury cruise ship, which stirred up a lot of emotions among the group.

Wang Manman's restless heart was also stirred and began to stir.

In her eyes, the luxury cruise ship had become an excellent hunting ground for top-tier rich second-generation heirs.

However, the boat tickets, which can easily cost tens of thousands of yuan, are a considerable "risky investment" for Wang Manman.

What if I fail to snag a rich second-generation heir? Wouldn't I lose everything?

Therefore, dragging along her best friend Hua Qianhui became the best solution—if they were going to lose money, they would lose money together, and psychologically they could find someone to share the burden.

More importantly, Wang Manman was calculating in her mind: Qian Hui's face and figure were undisputed as the school's number one beauty! Her chances of hooking a rich husband were naturally much higher than hers. If Qian Hui could successfully "land on land," then she could also get a share of the profits.

At least they can get their boat ticket money reimbursed and recoup some of the losses, since she was the one who brought it.

In Wang Manman's view, this logic was simply impeccable.

When Hua Qianhui received Wang Manman's invitation, she felt both amused and helpless. Travel should be a relaxing and enjoyable experience, but with her best friend, it had turned into a calculated "risky investment," with the fear of investing money only to reap no benefits later.

Although she also likes money, she doesn't think those rich second-generation kids who have received elite educations are so easy to hook!

As the undisputed number one beauty on campus, Hua Qianhui has never lacked suitors, including many wealthy young men.

However, she never showed interest in any of them.

This wasn't an act of arrogance, but rather stemmed from her professional judgment—her university major was psychology!

Therefore, she is able to judge the sincerity of the other person's words by observing their facial micro-expressions.

In technical terms, this is called "micro-expression lie detection technology"—this technology is real and widely used in various fields. For example, in criminal investigation, by capturing and analyzing subtle changes in a suspect's facial expressions, interrogators can more accurately perceive whether the suspect is lying, thereby improving interrogation efficiency.

However, this technology is far less accurate than a lie detector. Even professional actors can use their acting skills to adjust micro-expressions and mislead the test results.

Of course, rich kids wouldn't learn professional acting skills. Even if they did, they would only use them in more valuable fields like business and politics, not to woo women!

Therefore, Hua Qianhui believed in her professional judgment—those rich second-generation men who pursued her were just looking for fun!

Ordinary people may not understand the thoughts of the rich second generation. Why not cherish such a beautiful woman?

It's very simple: things are valued for their rarity. An ordinary person might never have a campus goddess in their lifetime, so naturally they would cherish her immensely.

But rich kids have slept with too many campus goddesses, and their energy is limited; changing one every year is considered quite affectionate.

In short, Hua Qianhui thought her best friend's plan to hook up with a rich guy was unreliable, but she still chose to come with Wang Manman for two reasons.

Firstly, it was to maintain his relationship with Wang Manman, after all, they were best friends who had grown up together, and he couldn't bear to thwart Wang Manman's enthusiastic plan.

Secondly, it's for personal hobbies. Hua Qianhui loves traveling and food, and the Spectrum of the Seas can satisfy both of her hobbies at the same time, so it's worth the trip.

At worst, I can go back to a frugal lifestyle, tighten my belt for a few months, and eventually save that money from my "luxury spending"...

However, deep down, without Hua Qianhui realizing it herself, she actually wanted to try her luck on the cruise ship, hoping that her Prince Charming would appear before her.
