Chapter 43

Qi Ping felt quite pressured, even though it had been a nice weekend. However, this did not mean that his relationship with Kate had made much progress.

With Kate’s phone calls, they could chat and send messages occasionally, but that was about it. This made Qi Ping a bit depressed, as it seemed his destiny had not yet arrived. Simply put, Kate could not stay in Lamona forever; she still needed to find her job.

"Whatever, let’s just go with the flow." Qi Ping believed that the idea of a man not worrying about finding a wife was quite right. Although he seemed to have made little progress in his romantic life, it didn’t matter. Going with the flow was the best attitude.

Qi Ping thought he could still go out and have some fun. The West Coast of the United States was quite famous, especially the area around California, with San Diego being one of the representatives. It seemed like the time had come to go and see it for himself. Qi Ping felt he could relax a bit. The sunny and beach-filled California, especially the beach beauties in bikinis, were definitely worth looking forward to.

In fact, California’s maritime activities were particularly developed. Surfing, whale watching, swimming, and sailing were all extremely popular sports. Besides beach fun, the warm California sun was also a great pleasure. Some people said California was orange, and indeed it was. The bright sun, golden coast, and endless orchards on both sides of the roads and in the valleys were the birthplace of the famous Sunkist fruits, such as oranges, grapefruits, lemons, and California grapes. The warm California sun provided an excellent environment for these high-quality fruits.

"Steve, do you have any good recommendations? You know I’ve been busy with work lately, and I’m doing pretty well. I think it’s time for a good rest and relaxation."

Qi Ping felt that if he wanted to have fun, he needed some advice from someone like Steve, who was quite experienced in these matters.

"Man, I think this is a great choice. I’m actually at the beach right now, and there are a lot of hot girls here. Man, come tomorrow, we’ll go out to sea, it’ll be a lot of fun," Steve said, getting excited. When it came to having fun, he was always enthusiastic.

"Out to sea? On a yacht?" Qi Ping was taken aback. Going out to sea seemed quite high-end.

"Exactly, I’ll take care of everything. I’ll rent a yacht, invite a few good friends, and of course, some hot bikini girls. We’ll have a great day at sea, it’ll be a lot of fun," Steve said, feeling good about his plan.

Qi Ping started to look forward to it. Regardless of the bikini girls, the idea of going out to sea on a yacht was a huge temptation for him. He had no reason to refuse, and he didn’t want to. So, without a doubt, he agreed and started preparing for the trip.

This was quite a fruitful outcome. He had only intended to ask Steve, a big player, for some advice and find a fun place to play. But he had an unexpected and rich harvest. Qi Ping started to look forward to it, feeling that it would be a great experience for him.

Looking at Jingang, who was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, Qi Ping suddenly felt a bit pressured. Jingang’s bad habit of crossing his legs might have been learned from his irresponsible big brother, which was quite comfortable and laid-back.

However, Jingang was just a small chimpanzee, and now he was eating fruit with his legs crossed, which was quite a dilemma. He was cute, but more like a little troublemaker, making Qi Ping feel that he hadn’t set a good example and had led Jingang astray.

Seeing Jingang grin and show his teeth, indicating he was in a good mood, Qi Ping decided not to argue with him over these things. As long as Jingang was happy, it didn’t matter, and no one would say anything about it.

Qi Ping was going out to play, and there was no problem with Jingang and the others staying at home. Jingang could be a bit clingy, but the little guy could take care of himself and even help Qi Ping take care of Liangshanbo and Zhu Yingtai. It was just one day, so there was no need to worry. Besides, there were other people at the forest farm, like Huang Siqing, who were familiar with Jingang.

"You need to be good today. I’m going out to play for a day and will be back in the evening. I’ve put some snacks on the table, and I’ve prepared milk for you. If you’re hungry, just take it. You don’t need to worry about Dongnanxibei, Liangshanbo, and Zhu Yingtai. Their feeding troughs are full of food, so as long as you don’t cause trouble, there won’t be any problems." Holding Jingang’s long arms, Qi Ping looked at the silly guy and needed to make these things clear.

After patiently explaining to Jingang, the little guy could take care of himself. He wasn’t short of playmates, as Dongnanxibei and Heitan were always happy to play games with Jingang, so there was no need to worry. It was just one day, and Jingang could handle it.

Setting off, Qi Ping felt that with these things taken care of, he had nothing to worry about. Now, he just needed to relax and enjoy the California sun and beaches. As for the bikini girls, although Qi Ping didn’t have many thoughts about them, he wouldn’t refuse. After all, he was just an ordinary man, and he just needed to stick to his principles.

Driving the Cadillac Escalade, Qi Ping felt quite accomplished. Although this car wasn’t the top of the line and wasn’t as flashy as a sports car, he was very satisfied. He thought his car was great, and that was enough.

A one-and-a-half-hour drive wasn’t long. For Qi Ping, this distance was nothing for a day out. He was still a big boy, and now that he had the means and conditions, he wouldn’t waste them. Qi Ping was still in the age of enjoying himself. Although he might be a bit more mature than a playboy like Steve, he was only relatively more mature.

"Hey, man, we’ve been waiting for you!" Seeing Qi Ping in a T-shirt and jeans, Steve thought he needed to give Qi Ping some encouragement. "Man, you don’t seem to be in the mood yet. We’re all ready. Man, go get some swim trunks and flip-flops, or maybe you brought swim trunks."

Looking at Steve, who was bare-chested, Qi Ping felt that although he was dressed very casually, he was still too formal. Steve and his friends were clearly more adept at enjoying the beach and sun, and they were the best at playing in the summer.

"Man, I didn’t bring swim trunks. Actually, I’ve never been to the beach, but don’t worry, I’ll be very comfortable in the sea. My swimming skills will surpass Phelps," Qi Ping said truthfully. Although he had been looking forward to the beach for a while, he had never actually been to the seaside.

"Alright, I think Nancy will be happy to meet a new friend. She’ll tell you what you need to prepare. I’m heading to the dock now; our yacht is over there." Steve was quite busy, so he introduced a blonde beauty to Qi Ping as a guide, perhaps with some other ideas in mind.

Qi Ping found this acceptable. Nancy looked quite enthusiastic. The curvaceous beauty in a bikini was eager to meet Qi Ping, a young and wealthy man. She knew that Steve was a rich playboy, so his friends wouldn’t be bad either.

"Qi, you need swim trunks now. I think this is the easiest to solve. There’s a swimwear store right next to us. In San Diego’s beaches, swimwear is never in short supply." Nancy took the initiative. For a girl with some charm who loved to play, finding a long-term meal ticket for a luxurious life would be the best. If she couldn’t climb the social ladder, experiencing a rich person’s life would also be nice.

Qi Ping shrugged. He wouldn’t lose out as long as he kept his wits about him. He wasn’t that easy to be controlled by his desires.
