Chapter 664: Chapter 664: Leng Qianqian Gets Hit On

Chen Wei and Leng Qianqian, after finishing their meal, came up on deck and walked along the railing.

On one hand, they could admire the beautiful seascape; on the other, they could take a leisurely walk to aid digestion.

Even Leng Qianqian herself felt that she had indulged a bit too much, having eaten far too much.

There was no helping it—the chefs on the cruise were to blame for their exceptional culinary skills.

Of course, "exceptional" is relative.

Compared to the average person, it was extremely good; compared to a chef, it was very good; and even when compared to a master chef, it wasn’t too far behind.

But when compared to Chen Wei, the gap was just too wide.

She recalled the first time she had a meal cooked by Chen Wei—it was when he was just seven years old.

Leng Qianqian could still remember the amazing spicy stir-fried cabbage that had left her astonished.

To this day, it was unforgettable.

"I can’t take it anymore; I need to rest a bit," Leng Qianqian turned around, leaning her arms on the railing.

Using the sound of the roaring waves as a cover, she spoke in a voice that only Chen Wei and she could hear, "Those people don’t seem to be planning to make a move on us, even though they had a chance to leave and report back."

"They’re probably still unsure about our identities, or maybe they’re waiting to see how things unfold, waiting for us to make the first move," Chen Wei shared his speculation.

"What should we do next?" Leng Qianqian turned her head to look at Chen Wei’s exquisitely perfect profile and asked.

"Hmm..." After thinking for a moment, Chen Wei answered, "We’ll also watch and wait. It’ll be more advantageous for us to act after dark."

"Okay!" Leng Qianqian agreed without hesitation, nodding vigorously.

Her attitude showed complete agreement with whatever Chen Wei said.

A few minutes passed.

Chen Wei and Leng Qianqian heard some footsteps from behind them.

Both of them remained unresponsive.

Whether there was any killing intent, as professional killers and even as top-tier ones ranking in the world’s top three, they knew better than anyone else.

The person approaching was just a regular crew member on board.

No trace of bloodthirstiness.

If Old Master Kim had really left someone like this in charge of his protection, he would have been dead a hundred, a thousand times over by now.

"Excuse me, we will be holding a charity auction shortly; are you interested in attending?" the crew member asked.

"A charity auction?"

"Yes..." In the following minutes, the crew member explained in detail to Chen Wei and Leng Qianqian about the purpose of the auction.

It was to ensure that people around the world who were starving could have at least one full meal.

After listening, Chen Wei turned his head to Leng Qianqian and asked, "What do you think?"

"Let’s go. We’ve got nothing else to do anyway," Leng Qianqian stated.

"Alright," Chen Wei’s gaze returned to the crew member, "we’ll attend."

"Excellent. Here are your ID badges. The venue is in the hall on the third floor. To enter, you’ll need to wear your badges," the crew member handed over two lapel pins to Chen Wei and Leng Qianqian.

"Hmm."

With that, the person left.

There was a little over an hour left before the auction started.

For that hour plus, Chen Wei was inseparable from Leng Qianqian, continuing to accompany her around the deck, walking and sightseeing.

When there were about twenty minutes left, Chen Wei decided to enter the venue.

Checking the time, the auction would be over by the time it got dark, which would be the right moment to carry out their assassination of Old Master Kim.

The timing was quite reasonable.

They arrived at the hall mentioned by the staff.

Upon entering, they realized that nearly all the round tables were almost full of people.

Chen Wei and Leng Qianqian chose a seat near the corner, which was still vacant, and sat down.

"I didn’t expect so many people to be interested in charity work." Leng Qianqian always felt that this scene seemed quite incongruous.

Did those "murderous" capitalists truly have the heart for it?

Chen Wei signaled and said, "Take a look at those guys over there."

Hearing this, Leng Qianqian followed Chen Wei’s gaze and discovered that a large group of journalists were waiting nearby, ready to shoot and report at any time.

"So it’s for gilding their image? To boost their positive public persona?" Leng Qianqian said with a wry smile.

"When people are poor, they care about money; when they get rich, they start to care about their reputation. It’s very normal," Chen Wei shared his view.

"A bunch of hypocrites," Leng Qianqian said with disdain.

"Hypocrites? If we really get down to it, aren’t we the same kind of people?" These words didn’t come from Chen Wei but from a meticulously dressed South Korean man with a sleek comb-over, gold-rimmed glasses, wearing a striped blue suit, and his shoes gleaming.

Although he spoke fluent Great Xia language, as natives of Great Xia, Leng Qianqian and Chen Wei could instantly tell there was an indescribable odd flavor to it.

He was definitely not a native of Great Xia.

"..." Chen Wei and Leng Qianqian exchanged glances, both having no intention of paying any attention to the man.

However, the man brazenly took a seat next to Leng Qianqian.

Pulling out a stack of business cards, he only pushed them toward Leng Qianqian, "I am the CEO of Six Star Technology, Li Xinen, and I would like to make your acquaintance, Miss. Are you interested?"

The man asked with his mouth, but his heart was utterly convinced that once he revealed his identity, Leng Qianqian would definitely not refuse him.

"Sorry, I’m not interested," Leng Qianqian rejected, not only decisively but without even glancing at the business cards he had pushed toward her with his finger.

Is this woman so proud?

Li Xinen did not get angry but laughed instead.

He became even more interested in Leng Qianqian.

On the one hand, it was because of her beauty that could overturn states and cities, and on the other hand, it was because she was not the kind of person who would submit to one’s status, power, or wealth at the drop of a hat.

This made the process of playing with women even more enjoyable for Li Xinen.

The joy of winning the game is somewhat lessened when it lacks a certain something, a soul perhaps.

Li Xinen preferred to melt Leng Qianqian’s icy heart bit by bit.

Then, he would savor how fiery she could be at night.

Would that sense of accomplishment not be immensely satisfying?

As for his little schemes, Leng Qianqian saw through them but chose not to expose them.

Or rather, she had neither the interest, the mood, nor the time to waste on speaking to him, let alone waste her breath.

"What’s your name, Miss? Where are you from? I quite like traveling in Great Xia; perhaps I have been to your hometown," Li Xinen decided to use his fluency in the Great Xia language to gradually get closer to Leng Qianqian.

"..." However, what he got in return was Leng Qianqian’s complete disregard.

Leng Qianqian ignored him just as he had ignored Chen Wei’s presence.

Protecting her junior as a senior sister, wasn’t this the most normal thing to do?

What others thought was none of Leng Qianqian’s concern. After all, whoever dared to slight her little junior would not receive kindness from her. She would return it tenfold, a hundredfold.

Let’s see who is more merciless!

"..." Li Xinen, who had been rebuffed time and again, showed a look of embarrassment on his face.
