The two, freshly bathed, had skin as delicate as a flower. Passersby occasionally cast astonished glances at the pair.
At that moment, a door ahead suddenly opened, and a shrill female voice echoed through the tranquil corridor, "You can't treat me this way."
Curious, they looked up to see a man with his back to them, dressed in a silver suit that perfectly contoured his tall and straight figure. A blonde beauty, tears streaming down her face, was pleadingly holding his hand, her makeup smeared by the tears.
Impatiently, the man shook off the woman's hand and pulled out a check from his suit pocket, flicking it dismissively, "Take the check and get lost."
Such familiar words, such a familiar phrase.
Helan You felt a jolt throughout her body, as if in disbelief.
"I'm with you not for the money," the woman kept begging, her delicate makeup further smeared by her tears, "I truly love you."
"Love? Do you have the qualifications for that? You're nothing but a prostitute," the man sneered, forcefully shaking her off, turning around to reveal an excessively handsome face. Underneath his lazy, disheveled hair were deep, dark eyes, a straight and sensual nose, and every line of his face exuded a mischievous aura, hinting at the recent activities that occurred in the room. His deeply tanned chest radiated a sensuality.
It really was him... Why was he here as well?
Her heart, which had been still for so long, violently stirred. Helan You just wanted to leave quickly, but before she could turn around, she had already collided straight into his dark gaze.
"Mangji, let's go," Helan You quickly grabbed Shangguan Manji's hand to leave.
"Wait——," a thick, hot palm suddenly grabbed her arm, and with a little force, he turned her around. Her face, freshly bathed, was crystal white, and her black hair strands fell beside her bathrobe, outlining the familiar face.
His deep eyes burst with a trace of excitement, followed by an even more intense mischievousness, "It's you...," his warm breath brushed against her cheek as his hand reached to touch her jaw.
"Take your dirty hand away," she slapped away his hands like a hedgehog, "I don't know you."
Yin He's face did not become angry but instead smiled, his thin lips blooming into a wild and cold smile, "Are you sure you don't know me?"
He stepped closer to her.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Shangguan Manji forcefully pushed against his body.
His tall body did not budge, pressing her against the wall, the wicked and dangerous aura surrounding her.
"Get out of the way, or don't blame me for being rude," Helan You felt extremely uncomfortable under his gaze, her eyes spitting out flames.
"Alright, would you prefer a shoulder throw or a slap?" Yin He observed her panicked expression, damn it, the woman who had disappeared without his permission two years ago, and now she pretended not to know her. He had been with countless women, but only this one had stayed vividly in his memory.
"You——."
"What are you doing?" A gentle yet cold voice suddenly came over, and Ouyang Yu, Dongye Yan, and Duan Xu appeared from the banquet.
Seeing this scene, Ouyang Yu stepped forward and forcefully pushed Yin Helian away, nervously pulling Helan You into his arms, "You'er, are you okay?"
"I'm fine," Helan You shook her head, not daring to look at Yin Helian.
Yin Helian squinted his eyes, watching her nestle in another man's arms, a cold flame rising in his heart.
"Mr. Yin, I didn't expect to meet you here again," Duan Xu's deep eyes flashed a dark light, "You probably don't know, let me introduce you. These four are the heirs of the four major families of the Zhuoyue Club," he paused and pointed at Helan You: "And this lady is the new heir of the Helan family, and this gentleman is her fiancé."
A few simple words resonated in Yin Helian's heart.
"Helan You——."
His face maintained the usual cynical smile, but the darkness that revealed no trace of any ripples indicated his unusual reaction.
So she is Helan You, and Ouyang Yu is her fiancé.
"I am indeed fortunate to meet the four of you."
"So you are Yin Helian," Ouyang Yu's eyes flashed a trace of vigilance and sarcasm, "It's a pleasure to meet you. I didn't expect you to come to my cruise ship."
"I came here for no particular reason," Yin Helian laughed truthfully, indeed for no particular reason, he came to Australia for a meeting and was invited here for no reason.
"Today, I have seen that Mr. Yin's reputation is well-deserved. This lady seems to have suffered a lot because of you," Shang Manji mocked, pointing to the blonde woman behind her.
Yin Helian did not turn his head, only his gaze occasionally swept over Helan You, chuckling, "Women, just have fun with them, love is a lie, not suitable for me."
"Is that so? I don't know if you are interested in having a drink," Ouyang Yu invited.
"Not interested," he turned coldly and left the crowd with an indifferent back.
"What an arrogant person, who does he think he is," Dongye Yan sneered.
"He is Yin Helian, his status in the business world is well-known, a prominent figure among the younger generation, and he will definitely be an opponent of our four major families in the future," Ouyang Yu said in a deep whisper, "By the way, Xiao You, how did you bump into him?"
"Just met by chance, nothing, I'm a bit tired, I want to go back and rest," Helan You pushed him away.
"I'll take you back," Ouyang Yu immediately said.
"No need, you've been busy all night, go to bed early," Helan You said and walked towards her room.
Behind, Duan Xu and Shangguan Manji looked thoughtful.

"How could this be?" She pushed open the window, looking at the night sea, her heart was in turmoil.
Yin Helian..., Yin Helian..., Yin Helian...
This name, this person, why does he always suddenly appear when she makes up her mind.
Even after two years, this person is still the same.
