The night party was set on the largest world-class cruise docked by the port of Dubai, one that was enough to show the financial power of the Arabian royal family.
Many family members came, as well as the rich businessmen that were also in Dubai at the time. Lin Chuxue wore a white evening dress, and with her snow-white skin and blue eyes, she looked like a fairy that just came to the human world.
Xu Cheng wore a simple suit and with his arm crossed with Lin Chuxue’s, he passed the invitation to the gentleman at the gate and boarded the cruise.
On the first deck’s general activity area, Haber had been waiting for a long time. Upon seeing Xu Cheng and Lin Chuxue, he immediately walked up to him. Haber’s wife looked at Lin Chuxue and there was a strange smile on his face. “Mr. Xu is definitely a capable man.”
Lin Chuxue didn’t understand the meaning at first, and seeing Haber chuckling on the side, Lin Chuxue immediately pinched Xu Cheng on the back. It was this [email protected] that made her so tired today that she couldn’t get out of bed to go for afternoon tea with Haber’s wife.
There were many people on board. Xu Cheng curiously asked Haber, “Why did you suddenly think of inviting us to this kind of banquet?”
“To take you guys to experience the most extravagant nightlife here. This cruise ship belongs to our chief, and it docks in the Persian Gulf every month. This isn’t much of a banquet, but more like a party. The cruise ship has all the facilities you can imagine, including indoor swimming pools, a fishing zone, an indoor theatre, a casino, an underground boxing ring, and so on. Just enjoy~ I told you, since you are here, then I will take you to experience the highest level of luxury that Dubai can offer. There are many wealthy men here, and many faces from Asia too. You know as well, there are many low-profile rich Asians.”
Haber put his arm around his shoulder and said, “Let me know if you want to play something tonight. If you don’t have enough money, I can let you borrow some first. The most important thing is to have fun.”
Xu Cheng smiled as he thought, Oh my dear Haber, you know me so well. You know that I’m short on cash recently and actually dragged me into this kind of opportunity to reap wealth from a crowd full of millionaires and billionaires. Originally, I wasn’t too worried about money, but ever since that old man Hawking asked me for 5 billion for initial funding, my bank account is feeling a bit of the burn. In the future, that old grandpa’s probably going to ask for more, so don’t blame me tonight for winning all the money.
Spotting that smile on Xu Cheng’s face, Lin Chuxue asked him curiously, “Didn’t you say you are not interested in this kind of occasion? How come I feel you are pretty excited?”
“I am?” Xu Cheng immediately restored his indifferent expression.
“You think I don’t know you well enough?” Lin Chuxue glanced at him. “I wouldn’t know what you are thinking from just looking at your eyes?”
Xu Cheng ridiculed, “Then tell me what I’m thinking about right now.”
“Definitely up to no good.” Lin Chuxue snorted, “I’m too lazy to figure out what you are up to. I’m going with Haber’s wife, I will come and find you in a bit.”
“Where to?”
Lin Chuxue said, “She’s planning to introduce me to a few female friends. I realized that I don’t have too big of a network. In the past, I went with you to Huaxia before graduating, and now that I want to help you out, I realize that I do need to work on my social skills. Right now, I don’t even have that many friends. So of course I’m going to make some right now, but I promise you, I won’t have any male friends. Are you happy now?”
Xu Cheng: “That’s more like it. My wife indeed knows me well.”
“Yeah, I know you too well.” Lin Chuxue rolled her eyes at him. “Because I know if I befriend someone that has the intention to court me, you would probably beat them to death.”
“Am I that domineering?” Xu Cheng was speechless.
Lin Chuxue smiled and said, “You are already progressing in that direction, and it’s getting more and more serious.”
Xu Cheng bitterly smiled. In fact, he knew himself.
Chuxue, if in this world, even you abandoned me, then there won’t be anyone that’s willing to be on my side. So, you are all I have left, and I won’t allow anyone to hurt you!
Lin Chuxue walked towards Haber’s wife. But before leaving, she suddenly turned around and smiled at Xu Cheng. “But I like the domineering side of you, just reserved for me!”
Xu Cheng smiled as well.
