The big boss is reborn and lets himself go.

After carefully dressing up, Zhou Yanhuan prepared to go out for a photo shoot and enjoy the charming beach scenery of Hong Kong. She carried a snow-white SLR camera on her back, held her adorable little Jiu in her arms, and stepped lightly out of the house.

A few minutes later, Zhou Yanhuan sped down the road in his red convertible Ferrari, like a streak of red lightning. A gentle breeze caressed his face, as if nature itself were tenderly stroking him. Meanwhile, Xiao Jiu lay in the cat-shaped space backpack in the passenger seat. Although Zhou Yanhuan had unscrupulously placed it inside, its eyes, like two sparkling sapphires, darted around, curiously observing this strange and special world, utterly excited!

Hong Kong Harbour

Zhou Yanhuan sat on a large cruise ship, just as people were about to set sail.

"Zhenzhen, you're really here!" Zhou Yanhuan heard a very familiar female voice. Looking out from the cruise ship towards the source of the sound, she saw a young woman with a warm and welcoming appearance waving at her. Beside her was a young man, who also smiled warmly at her when he saw her waving.

Zhou Yanhuan waved her right hand casually, a faint smile on her face, but there was no joy in her bright eyes. Her smile seemed to be just a habit, or perhaps a disguise, making it difficult to guess her true thoughts.

Zhou Yanhuan was wary of these friends she had grown up with.

The girl skipped onto the cruise ship like a cheerful little bird and affectionately took Zhou Yanhuan's arm. However, Zhou Yanhuan deliberately feigned anger and said coquettishly, "Miss Zhou, you actually came to the cruise ship all by yourself without taking me with you. Doesn't your conscience hurt?"

Faced with Ning Xinyan's questioning, Zhou Yanhuan simply replied, "Oh, it doesn't hurt." Her gaze never left the man standing behind Ning Xinyan. In her eyes, this man radiated a strange light—the golden light of merit! Not only that, she also sensed an invisible causal thread connecting her to this man. This peculiar feeling filled Zhou Yanhuan with curiosity and doubt.

Zhou Yanhuan slowly turned around, his movements elegant and natural, as if he were already used to such actions. He gently sat down on the soft sofa, leaning back slightly, but his eyes never left the man behind Ning Xinyan.

The man was tall and had an outstanding presence. Zhou Yanhuan's gaze was fixed on him, as if she wanted to see through his appearance to find the cause-and-effect relationship between him and herself.

Time ticked by, but Zhou Yanhuan's gaze remained fixed. He quietly observed the man's every move, trying to find some clues in his words and actions. However, the man remained completely calm and composed, seemingly unaffected by Zhou Yanhuan's gaze.

"Xinyan, aren't you going to introduce this gentleman you brought to us?" Zhou Yanhuan leaned casually against the sofa, her eyes unrestrained and a faint smile playing on her lips, and spoke softly. She seemed to possess an irresistible charm.

"This is Xu Linfeng, the second son of the Xu family, and also my fiancé."

Upon hearing this introduction, Zhou Yanhuan raised an eyebrow and smiled.

So that's how it is! Xu Linfeng, the second young master of the Xu family, is actually Ning Xinyan's fiancé! This is truly unexpected. It seems this marriage was arranged by both families' elders. However, Xu Linfeng does seem to be quite handsome.

"Hello, I am Xu Linfeng, Xinyan's fiancé." The man's deep voice, like a cello, slowly rang in Zhou Yanhuan's ears.

"Hello, I'm Zhou Yanhuan." A faint smile played on Zhou Yanhuan's lips, her eyes clear and bright, like the stars in the night sky. She gracefully walked past Xu Linfeng, who was sitting on another sofa, her movements elegant and natural, like a butterfly in flight. Then, she slowly knelt down and carefully placed the adorable little Jiu in her arms on the ground.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Yanhuan raised her left hand, her slender fingertips gently caressing the skin of the translucent jade ring on her right wrist. The delicate, fair skin complemented each other, further enhancing her elegant and ethereal气质 (qi zhi - inherent quality/temperament). A hint of tenderness and longing flickered in her eyes, as if this spot on her body held special significance for her.

"Oh? I wonder what brings you here today, Second Young Master Xu and Xin Yan?" He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a half-smile, his gaze fixed on Xu Linfeng. He secretly pondered their intentions.

Xu Linfeng was genuinely startled. He hadn't expected Zhou Yanhuan to be so perceptive, seeing through his ulterior motives at a glance. However, he knew he couldn't admit it easily at this moment, so he forced himself to remain calm, forcing a smile to conceal his inner shock.

"It's like this, Mr. Zhou. I've heard Xin Yan mention that you often invest in companies with potential and promising prospects. As for me, I recently retired from the military. I don't want to join the Xu Group, since my older brother is already managing it perfectly well. Actually, I've always had a dream of owning my own company and creating a new world through my own efforts." Xu Linfeng said sincerely, "Therefore, I hope to receive your support and investment, Mr. Zhou. With your investment, I believe my company will be able to get off to a faster start and achieve success. Of course, I will also do my best to manage this company well and live up to your expectations and trust, Mr. Zhou."

Ning Xinyan got up coquettishly, walked lightly to Zhou Yanhuan's side and sat down. She gently took Zhou Yanhuan's arm with her hands and began to act cute and charming: "Zhenzhen~ Look how pitiful he is, please have some compassion, for my sake, think about it and give him a chance~ okay!" As she spoke, she kept shaking Zhou Yanhuan's arm, looking just like a cute little kitten begging its owner for treats.

Zhou Yanhuan remained silent for a while, pondering to herself, "Although Xu Linfeng sounded quite sincere when he was seeking investment, his sudden appearance before me must have a reason." After all, who doesn't know that most people seeking investment rely on detailed and specific plans to persuade investors? Besides, how could this second young master of the Xu family lack start-up capital?

“Alright, tomorrow have your fiancé bring his business plan and anything he wants to know to my villa. I’ll explain it to him in detail, and then I’ll think about it.” Zhou Yanhuan said helplessly to Ning Xinyan, his voice so cold it seemed like ice shards could fall from it. “But only he can come to see me tomorrow; you’re not allowed to come with him.”

Is Zhou Yanhuan's plan to lure the enemy into a trap related to what she saw in Xu Linfeng's face?

Xu Linfeng was stunned when he heard Zhou Yanhuan's words. Had he been exposed?

"Young masters and young ladies, would it be wonderful if we could set aside our work for the time being and enjoy ourselves on the 'Zhenzhen' today?" Zhou Yanhuan asked in a cool and aloof tone.

And so, Zhou Yanhuan, Ning Xinyan, and Xu Linfeng enjoyed the sea breeze on the cruise ship for several hours, taking many photos.
