Chapter 555 - 299: Yacht Feast

Qi Sheng and the women spent a night on the yacht before returning to the mansion the next day.

No matter how well-equipped the yacht was, being at sea was ultimately not as comfortable as being on land.

Otherwise, a sailor’s pay wouldn’t be so high.

The massive villa, with its 49 guest rooms, was like a castle.

The three private beaches were outrageously extravagant.

Back in China, they had to be mindful of their public image.

But abroad, who would pay them any mind?

Qi Sheng’s bodyguards stood watch around the villa 24/7.

The security level was maxed out.

Yang Mi and Reba were having so much fun on Sardinia Island that they didn’t even think about going home.

They postponed whatever work commitments they could back in China.

What were pitiful appearance fees and trashy dramas compared to keeping a super-billionaire like Qi Sheng happy?

Reba went ahead and laid her cards on the table, saying she wanted to switch to Universal Entertainment.

’Even if my deal isn’t as good as Gu Pan’s, it can’t be worse than Jiang Shuying’s, can it?’

’Why does Jiang Shuying get to star in a show like *Flowing Golden Years* while I’m stuck filming those sappy, melodramatic romance flicks?’

’I’m done with this!’

With Qi Sheng backing her, Reba felt unbelievably defiant.

At first, Yang Mi wanted to scold Reba. After all, Jiahang had helped build her career.

But Qi Sheng completely broke her defenses with a single question: "How much of the company do you even own?"

"Sister Mi, I think you’re getting a raw deal, too. The company is only where it is today because of you, yet you have the fewest shares. Has President Zeng put in anywhere near as much work as you?"

Reba ducked behind Qi Sheng, finally voicing what had been on her mind.

"Besides, President Zeng is just too calculating. He’s unscrupulous when it comes to making a profit."

"I never wanted to campaign for that Golden Eagle Award, but President Zeng insisted."

"Being labeled the ’Water Queen’ of the Golden Eagle got me dragged through the mud online for years! Do you know how many fans I lost?"

Just thinking about it filled Reba with resentment.

Jiahang may have built her up, but it wasn’t like she hadn’t made the company a fortune in return.

And now, Jiahang’s resources were becoming more and more pathetic.

If she weren’t so famous on her own, she would’ve run out of roles to play long ago.

Carrying newcomers was fine once in a while.

But if they pulled that stunt in every single project, who would want to cast her anymore?

"You little brat. Now that you’ve got someone to back you up, you dare to lecture your big sister?"

Yang Mi glared at Reba. She wasn’t a complete idiot.

It was just that years of friendship and entangled interests represented too much of a sunk cost; she couldn’t bear to just walk away.

"Darling, she’s scaring me!"

Reba wrapped her arms around Qi Sheng’s neck, wiggling her hips triumphantly as she whined.

"This is between you two. Sort it out yourselves."

Qi Sheng refused to take sides, lest he earn the ire of the other.

"Ah..."

Seeing the increasingly dangerous look in Yang Mi’s eyes, Reba immediately chickened out.

"Sister Mi, I was wrong."

"Hmph. And what were you wrong about?"

Yang Mi shot Qi Sheng a satisfied look.

In a flash, she had Reba pinned down on the sofa and gave her plump, peachy bottom two hard smacks.

"Oww... Sister Mi, it’s all red."

"I wasn’t the only one who spanked you. Go complain to him."

"Then I won’t help you tonight! We’ll see how you beg me then!"

"Hey, you’re rebelling against me now, are you!"

The two women giggled and wrestled playfully, a far cry from the goddess-like image their fans had of them.

Even goddesses were human, and they slept with men just like anyone else.

Meanwhile, Gu Pan and the other women were lounging on chairs.

They sunbathed under parasols by the edge of the pool.

The white, black, and purple bikinis created a picturesque scene of tranquil beauty.

Qi Sheng, wearing only swim trunks, showed off his powerful torso and long, muscular legs.

He executed a perfect dive, plunging into the pool and sending a huge spray of water into the air.

"Ah, you’re so annoying!"

The series of playful complaints only spurred Qi Sheng on.

With a few kicks of his legs, he sent water splashing everywhere.

Gu Pan and the others were so annoyed they could grind their teeth, forced to retreat back into the house.

His Max-Level Physique meant Qi Sheng had an absurd amount of energy.

Fooling around like that for half an hour didn’t even count as a warm-up for him.

He placed one hand on the edge of the pool and vaulted lightly out of the water, landing steadily on his feet.

Even though the women inside were already intimately familiar with Qi Sheng’s physique,

watching the water droplets trail down his pectoral and abdominal muscles, they couldn’t help but gulp, completely infatuated.

’Damn, a body like that should be illegal.’

’Forget fujoshi—even *they* couldn’t get enough of it.’

"Honey, I want a hug."

Gu Pan trotted over and jumped right into Qi Sheng’s arms.

"After dinner, you girls need to head back. The film crew is waiting for you."

"That’s so annoying. I wanted to stay and have fun for a few more days."

Hearing they had to leave, Gu Pan’s face fell and she pouted.

"We’ll wait for the New Year. The whole family can come and stay for a while then."

Qi Sheng ruffled Gu Pan’s hair, gently comforting his young girlfriend.

"Okay! Then I’ll have President Lin clear my schedule in advance."

With his promise secured, Gu Pan’s mood brightened considerably.

Her beautiful eyes twinkled as she blew a puff of hot air into Qi Sheng’s ear.

"Honey, I want a taste of you..."

"Let’s go, let’s go. I absolutely have to satisfy that request. Shuying, Xiaotong, you two come upstairs too."

Qi Sheng was terrible at refusing women, especially such a "thoughtful" request from his girlfriend.

"Ahem, we’ll head upstairs first."

Looking a little awkward, Jiang Shuying and Mao Xiaotong quickly trotted after them.

"Sister Mi, Sister Ying, should we put on some sunscreen and go out for a bit?"

Reba, on the other hand, was in no rush to go back to China.

Since she was planning to terminate her contract with her current agency anyway, she could stay with Qi Sheng for a few more days.

Yang Mi had even less desire to go back to her scheduled appearances and was secretly pondering something herself.

Should she follow Reba’s lead and switch to Universal Entertainment?

"Sure, I’ll help you with your sunscreen," Jin Ying replied with a smile. She was the idlest one of the group.

Once she finalized Qi Sheng’s massive deal, she could basically consider retiring.

Three billion US dollars in interest per year meant nine billion US dollars in three years.
