Chapter 373: Get off the ship at 0372

The two had not talked for long before three women approached them; they were all Mu Wanqing’s friends and had come out to travel with her.

"Han Lei, Sun Yijia, Ma Lingling," Mu Wanqing introduced them one by one.

"Wow, Wan Qing, I never heard you mention such a handsome male friend. Don’t tell me he’s your boyfriend."

"Right? Come on, spill the beans on how you two met."

Han Lei and Sun Yijia took turns to speak, showing great curiosity about Ye Qiu’s relationship with Mu Wanqing in front of him.

Mu Wanqing gave the three girls a glance and said irritably, "Even you guys are teasing me now? If you keep blabbering nonsense, I won’t reimburse your trip expenses when we go back!"

After Mu Wanqing’s threat, the three women laughed and quickly claimed they were just joking. Ye Qiu knew the women were doing it on purpose; he was no great handsome guy, but their laughter and banter showed he could tell their relationship was out of the ordinary.

"Alright, alright, knock it off, Wan Qing, introduce us to this handsome guy properly, will you? Handsome, you know so much about red wine. Just now when you were debating with Bai Qi about wine, it was so cool. If it weren’t for the saying ’you don’t eat the grass by your own burrow,’ I’d definitely steal you away," Ma Lingling said with a smile, causing Mu Wanqing’s face to turn red with the reference to ’not eating the grass by your own burrow.’"

Mu Wanqing gave Ma Lingling a sharp look, signaling her not to speak nonsense. Ma Lingling pretended not to see it and, together with Han Lei and Sun Yijia, snickered on the side.

"His name is Ye Qiu..." Mu Wanqing began introducing Ye Qiu by name, intending to say more, but at that moment, she realized that she didn’t know much about Ye Qiu.

"Is that it? What does he do?"

"I think he runs a winery, being able to discern a 1955 vintage must mean he’s a top tier wine collector."

"Stop guessing, let’s listen to what Wan Qing has to say."

The three women made wild guesses, but eventually, they all turned to look at Mu Wanqing.

Mu Wanqing looked uncomfortably at Ye Qiu, who understood and took the initiative to speak up, "Three beautiful ladies, my work isn’t quite what you’ve imagined. I don’t own a winery, nor am I a collector. My job is to deal with bad people!"

"Deal with bad people?"

"I’ve got it, you must be a police officer!"

The three women said in chorus. Ye Qiu didn’t mind and didn’t offer further explanation, since they thought he was a police officer, he might as well be one.

To talk about Ye Qiu’s identity, it wasn’t simple at all.

First and foremost, he was Shen Mengchen’s bodyguard, but he didn’t want to reveal this to avoid involving Shen Meng.

Secondly, he was a member of the Dragon Group, a secret base organization in Huaxia dealing with underground forces, acting as a sharp blade for the country. Sharing this identity wouldn’t be appropriate due to its confidential nature.

As for his last identity, once known as the God of Assassins in the assassin world, revealing this would probably scare them silly.

The three women were very enthusiastic and curious about Ye Qiu, bombarding him with continuous questions. Ye Qiu had no choice but to share the story of his first encounter with Mu Wanqing.

The women’s gossipy hearts were satisfied as they laughed, "So it was a hero saving the beauty. No wonder our star Wan Qing sometimes loses her appetite over tea and meals."

"If you ask me, you two are truly fated. Meeting so coincidentally the first time, and now running into each other on a cruise, not believing in fate? I just don’t buy that. What do you girls think?"

"Wan Qing, Ye Qiu seems like a good guy to be around. You must feel very safe with him and he can protect you."

Mu Wanqing’s face turned beet red, too embarrassed to look at Ye Qiu, as the conversation with the girls made even her neck blush.

In Ye Qiu’s eyes, the blushing Mu Wanqing was like a red rose about to bloom, its fragrance overwhelming.

"However, Ye Qiu, if you want to win over our Wan Qing, you’re going to have to put in some effort. There are many handsome guys chasing after her, Bai Qi being one of them. He insisted on shamelessly coming with us this time; such people are really annoying."

"Ye Qiu won over Bai Qi in the drinking contest, he must be very angry right now."

"I always feel Bai Qi is quite scheming, and he’s not faithful, which doesn’t suit Wan Qing. I’ve seen him being intimate with several girls before, and when I caught him, he even made up some excuse that they were his sisters. Such a person, how could he be worthy of our Wan Qing?"

As one of Mu Wanqing’s close friends and confidantes, the three girls went through the list of men pursuing Mu Wanqing, causing Ye Qiu to repeatedly look towards Mu Wanqing, realizing that there were so many people chasing her, and they were all formidable characters.

The three girls seemed afraid that Ye Qiu might give up, so they encouraged him, saying that with strong spiritual support and the like, he’d surely be able to stand out and win his beauty over.

Mu Wanqing couldn’t stay any longer; her three girlfriends were being too outrageous, telling Ye Qiu everything. If she stayed any longer, she would be too embarrassed to face Ye Qiu.

Using a lame excuse, she was the first to escape.

Ye Qiu had a great time talking with the three girls until around ten o’clock, when it was getting late, and they dispersed.

The cruise ship sailed on the sea for three or four days. During this time, Ye Qiu got quite familiar with Mu Wanqing’s three girlfriends, who often spoke highly of Ye Qiu into Mu Wanqing’s ear, thinking he was a hundred times more reliable than Bai Qi.

Ever since Bai Qi lost to Ye Qiu in the drinking contest, he would automatically leave whenever Ye Qiu was around, not willing to appear in the same frame.

Seeing Ye Qiu laughing and talking with Mu Wanqing and getting along well with Sun Yijia, Ma Lingling, and Han Lei made him unbearably jealous.

Bai Qi was thinking that once Ye Qiu left the cruise ship, he would strive to make Mu Wanqing his woman. If being upfront didn’t work, he could use some underhanded tactics; as long as the rice was cooked, he didn’t believe Mu Wanqing could still go back to Ye Qiu.

With a plan in mind, Bai Qi no longer ingratiated himself with Mu Wanqing since he firmly believed that the day he would have Mu Wanqing wouldn’t be far off.

Once out of Huaxia, they would be in another country; even if Mu Wanqing’s brother had great influence, it might not be enough to help with immediate problems.

As for Ye Qiu, Bai Qi’s eyes flickered with cold light. He had already contacted his family’s power, having someone dig into Ye Qiu’s background. If Ye Qiu truly was some low-profile rich young master, he would let it go. But if Ye Qiu was someone without any background, he’d have to consider making good on his promise to throw Ye Qiu into the sea to feed the sharks.

On the sixth day, the cruise ship arrived at its destination, docking at a sea port.

Everyone disembarked from the cruise ship. Mu Wanqing, Sun Yijia, Ma Lingling, and Han Lei stood together, saying farewell to Ye Qiu. Bai Qi stood on the other side, looking away without any expression, silent and wordless.

"Ye Qiu, why don’t you come travel with us?" Mu Wanqing’s three girlfriends warmly invited.

Ye Qiu smiled softly and shook his head, "Thank you for the kind offer, but I have important matters to attend to. If you’re still in this country a month from now, I’ll come and find you."

"Goodbye."

Ye Qiu extended his hand and shook Mu Wanqing’s hand, then turned around.

Ye Qiu was headed to his destination without looking back, waving his hand as he vanished from their sight.

Mu Wanqing watched Ye Qiu disappear, looking at the note Ye Qiu had slipped into her hand during their handshake.

She slowly unfolded it, and it read: "If there’s an emergency, you can call me." It was followed by a string of digits—Ye Qiu’s phone number.

"Huh, Wan Qing, what’s that? Is it a love letter from Ye Qiu?" The sharp-eyed Ma Lingling pointed at the note in Mu Wanqing’s hand, and upon hearing this, the other two girls became curious, clamoring to see what mushy words he had written.

Mu Wanqing snorted and tucked the note away, retorting, "It’s not a love letter at all." She’d had enough of her three meddlesome friends!

"Oh my, if it’s not a love letter, why are you keeping it so guarded?"

"I can’t be bothered to explain to you busybodies!"

"Girls, Wan Qing just called us busybodies, what should we do?"

"Let’s get her!"
