Disguised as a man, she became the biggest villain in the book.

The man stared at Zheng Luoqi's face with infatuation, while Zheng Luoqi smiled with her eyes slightly narrowed, occasionally letting out a soft laugh. Her voice was melodious and sweet, enough to make one's bones melt.

"Sir, how about you try this wine?" the man asked softly.

Zheng Luoqi opened her mouth, letting the man put the wine into her mouth, then slowly swallowed it, revealing a satisfied expression: "Hmm, tastes good."

"That's good, this was specially prepared for you, sir," the man said obsequiously.

Zheng Luoqi smiled, reached out and gently stroked the man's cheek, and said softly, "You understand my preferences best."

At this moment, Zheng Luoqi spotted another cruise ship in the distance, and her eyes narrowed slightly.

"Who is that person?" she asked the person next to her.

"Your Excellency, it seems to be a young lady from some wealthy family out boating on the lake," someone replied.

Zheng Luoqi's lips curled into a disdainful smile: "Ignore it."

After saying that, she continued to enjoy the fine wine, delicious food, and the atmosphere of singing and dancing.

Most of the people on the boat were concubines and male favorites from the mansion, and it was Linglong who was massaging Zheng Luoqi's shoulders.

Linglong was intently peeling the glistening grapes, then carefully feeding them to Zheng Luoqi's lips.

However, at that moment, the dancing rose suddenly seemed to get jealous and lunged into Zheng Luoqi's arms, instantly breaking the peaceful atmosphere.

Like a docile kitten, Yueji nestled into Zheng Luoqi's arms, gently leaning against him. At the same time, her soft, melodious voice rang out: "Young master, my feet are so tired, I really can't jump anymore… May I rest in your arms for a while?"

Meanwhile, the man who was pouring wine for Zheng Luoqi was clearly dissatisfied, saying with a hint of coquettishness, "Young master, look at her! She's always thinking about how to have you all to herself. How can such a jealous woman be worthy of serving you?"

Although Qingzhu said this, deep down he also felt a sense of envy and jealousy.

Upon hearing these words, Zheng Luoqi's lips curled into a faint smile. He didn't loosen his embrace around Yueji, allowing her to remain nestled quietly in his arms. At the same time, he played with a strand of Yueji's hair. Yueji, in turn, wrapped her entire body around Zheng Luoqi, tightly embracing his neck.

Just then, Boyu came in to announce, "Young Master, Miss Lin requests an audience."

Upon hearing the voice, Zheng Luoqi frowned slightly. She couldn't recall any connection between herself and the Lin family's young lady, so she looked at Boyu beside her with a puzzled expression and asked, "Which Lin family?"

Bo Yu respectfully replied, "Lin Zongzheng's daughter, Lin Wanwan, and Lin Qianning, as well as Chen Yushi's daughter, Chen Ruoyao, who came with us."

Zheng Luoqi suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."

Not long after, Lin Wanwan and the others boarded the ship. As soon as they were aboard, they saw a man and a woman sitting beside Zheng Luoqi, serving her, while she held another woman in her arms. Each of them was beautiful, captivating all who saw them.

This left the group of women, who were seeing this scene for the first time, somewhat bewildered. They didn't know where to look, so they could only hurriedly bow and say in unison, "Greetings, Lord Zheng!"

Lin Qianning, in particular, felt a tightness in her chest and couldn't help but steal glances at Zheng Luoqi in the high position.

"No need for formalities, gentlemen. What brings you here to see me?" Zheng Luoqi smiled, a faint smile playing on his lips. His deep eyes held a hint of amusement as he looked at the group before him and asked softly.

"Lord Zheng, I'm so sorry to bother you. The boat we ordered today is leaking, and we just happened to see your boat passing by, so we thought we'd ask you to give us a ride," Lin Qianning said softly, her voice clear and melodious, her tone polite and humble.

"Oh, I see. So, are you all going to continue boating on the lake or go ashore for some fun?" Zheng Luoqi raised an eyebrow, looking at Lin Qianning and the others with great interest.

"Your Excellency, we only intended to go boating on the lake, but we never expected this to happen. Now that the boat is damaged, would it be convenient for you to come here...?" Lin Qianning's words were quite clear, and she blinked her bright eyes.

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanwan's eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at Lin Qianning, thinking to herself, "Has Lin Qianning lost her mind? How could she make such a request? Doesn't she know who she is? Who would she dare to get on someone's boat?!"

Lin Wanwan and Chen Ruoyao, who were standing to the side, didn't have a chance to speak, nor did they dare to refuse, so the group went boating on the lake together.

Zheng Luoqi looked at the dancers who had stopped and gestured for them to continue.

At this moment, Yueji also sensed a hint of danger when she looked at Lin Qianning. She had been watching Lin Qianning ever since she boarded the ship. Sure enough, a woman's intuition is very accurate. This Miss Lin is probably secretly in love with the young master.

Yueji kissed Zheng Luoqi's face even more brazenly, then looked provocatively in Lin Qianning's direction. Lin Qianning saw this and felt even more upset. She quickly turned her face away and stopped looking at Zheng Luoqi.

Zheng Luoqi was completely unfazed by the sudden kiss; he was used to it after all, so he didn't notice the subtle rivalry between Yueji and Lin Qianning.

Lin Wanwan noticed Lin Qianning's unusual behavior, so she said goodbye to Zheng Luoqi, saying she needed to go out for a walk, and then dragged Lin Qianning and Chen Ruoyao out.

"Little sister, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Lin Wanwan asked with a worried expression.

"I'm fine, I'm just a little tired and wanted to get some fresh air," Lin Qianning said, forcing a smile.

"Let's go up to the deck and enjoy the view," Chen Ruoyao suggested.

The three of them went up to the deck, looked at the calm lake, felt the breeze, and their mood gradually calmed down.

"Little sister, you don't actually like Zheng Luoqi, do you?" Lin Wanwan asked cautiously.

Lin Qianning's face instantly turned bright red. She lowered her head and said shyly, "No, don't talk nonsense."

“Sister, I might not be able to advise you against it if it were any other man, but not Zheng Luoqi. Although I don’t understand the intricacies of the court, Father warned us not to associate with Zheng Luoqi, but you still wouldn’t listen. Besides, you’ve seen it yourself; how could such a fickle person like Zheng Luoqi be worthy of you?” Lin Wanwan said sincerely.

Lin Qianning's heart stirred, and she looked up at Lin Wanwan, a hint of emotion flashing in her eyes.

"But... I don't know, I don't know why I fell in love with him. I just think he's a really good person, not like he seems on the surface," Lin Qianning said softly.

“Sister, you’re so wonderful. If Zheng Luoqi likes you, he’ll definitely take the initiative. And you just saw how many concubines he has. Do you think you’ll have a good life if you marry into his household? You might be devoured by these concubines one day, leaving not even a trace,” Lin Wanwan sighed helplessly.

Lin Qianning's eyes darted away, looking confused.

Just then, a small boat slowly approached their large ship, attracting their attention.
