I really don't have money for the ship girls.

“However, this is a one-time exception.” The Prince of Wales said, taking the initiative to put his arm around Ying Tian’s. The capable and dignified woman leaned gently against the man, showing off her ample bosom without any hesitation. “To be honest, I feel that you are much more proactive than before, Commander.”

Ying Tian thought about himself two months ago and said, "Indeed, I was quite naive back then."

"Not innocent anymore?"

"It's gone bad..."

“Yes, back then we slept on the floor in the hotel. You didn’t even take off your clothes before lying down on the floor. I didn’t dare to look at you.” The Prince of Wales couldn’t help but smile as he recalled the scene. Then he turned his head and glared at Ying Tian. “You’ve really changed now. You look around randomly and say whatever comes to mind.”

Ying Tian thought to himself that there was nothing he could do about it. He spent every day with St. Louis and Ron, and gradually he got used to being surrounded by women. Once he got used to it, he no longer felt that it was presumptuous.

The two gradually walked to the vicinity of Hyde Park in the city center. It was quieter than the bustling streets outside. Perhaps due to the latitude and climate, even though it was July in the Northern Hemisphere, the air was still refreshing and there was no heat.

Ying Tian had been silent for a while. He finally made up his mind and stopped by a bench by the lake. He looked at the Prince of Wales's stern and handsome face and said, "Well, there is something I need to tell you."

The Prince of Wales pursed his lips, his mind trembling. Could this long-planned and solemn act be a formal confession?

"What is it?"

"Well, I also kissed St. Louis and Ron."

The Prince of Wales blinked, a fleeting pang of sadness mixed with confusion. What did the commander mean by that? It wasn't a confession, nor was it a provocation.

"And Shoukaku, though it was just a kiss on the cheek." Ying Tian, ​​not daring to look the Prince of Wales in the eye, blurted out, "I also told St. Louis and Ron that I liked them. Shoukaku didn't say it to her face, but she told others, so that means she did..."

"Wales, I'm sorry."

The Prince of Wales looked at the man in front of her. She should have been angry, right? They had developed feelings for each other and even confessed their love on a chat app. Yet he was still flirting with this one and that one. But for some reason, the Prince of Wales couldn't be angry at all. She was even a little happy. If it weren't for the fact that he valued her, why would the commander say such things? Besides, there were already two married ships in the naval base. There were quite a few people who shared the same thoughts as her. The Prince of Wales was already mentally prepared.

"Why apologize to me? You should tell Glorious that she is the one who is getting married." The Prince of Wales turned his head to look at the swans foraging on the lake. Being mentally prepared is one thing, but it's okay to be a little willful in a relationship sometimes.

"Don't be angry." Ying Tian scratched his head awkwardly.

"I'm not angry."

"You're really not angry?"

"I'm really not angry."

"That means you're angry... Well, even though I said I liked someone else, you're still my favorite. Really, that's what St. Louis and I said too."

Ying Tian's clumsy explanation amused Wales, and the beautiful British woman with elegant features said with a smile, "I'm very happy that the Commander can say that he likes me the most, but what kind of talk is that?"

"Um, I..."

Faced with his first love, a ashamed Ying Tian was at a loss. Seeing Ying Tian like this, the Prince of Wales' love almost overflowed. She tiptoed and wrapped her arms around Ying Tian's neck, her moist lips finding his ear, and whispered, "A love that needs to be calculated is the most pathetic. I will show you my truest self and accept your truest self—so don't worry, I won't see your little mistakes, because that's what lovers are all about."

Ying Tian embraced the Prince of Wales's slender waist and said somewhat excitedly, "So, you accepted?"

"I will certainly accept the most authentic commander."

"Prince of Wales, I..."

Call me Wales.

"Wales... I like you." He finally said it out loud, without any other emotions mixed in.

"Me too, you are someone I approve of, I have loved you for a long time."

Gently resting her head on her lover's shoulder, Wales rubbed the strands of hair at her temples. Her long-held feelings had been reciprocated; what could be happier than this?

A gentle breeze rippled the surface of the lake, and the trees rustled. The two lovers embracing did not attract much attention; embracing was a perfectly normal thing for lovers here.

"Wales."

"Ok?"

"Although I've kissed other people, that time with you was the first time."

"I know, it's clumsy."

"There's one more first time I want to give to you."

"Huh? What... um..."

As the Prince of Wales was pondering this, he suddenly felt a warm hand, like a bucket of cool water poured over a summer's day. It was abrupt, yet strangely, it didn't feel offensive. Perhaps this was love; how could one feel offended by being touched by a lover?

"You scoundrel~" The Prince of Wales bit his lip but did not resist. "You know the significance of this action, don't you?"

“Yes, I know. This is the most sacred place, and it’s my first time here too.” Ying Tian said earnestly. “St. Louis let me touch it before, and I almost couldn’t resist. I also almost couldn’t resist several times when I was helping Ron relieve his stress. I have poor self-control, but thankfully I managed to hold back in the end. So I want to save this first time for you.”

Wales breathed softly, feeling utterly confused. What was the point of this first time?

After listening to Ying Tian's words, she became even more puzzled, because she could tell that the commander was serious.

Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Rewards of Wales

"Compared to other parts, this must be the most sacred place on a woman's body."

Why would the commander have such an idea?

"Isn't this common sense? Our mouths are for eating and speaking, our hands and feet are for carrying things and walking, but this is a secondary sexual characteristic, a place used to nurture life, symbolizing the greatness of motherhood. Of course, it's much more sacred and important than other places. Besides, I've confirmed with others that this is an intimate part that can only be touched by someone you like..."

As Ying Tian spoke, looking at the smile on the Prince of Wales's lips, he became increasingly unsure of himself. Finally, he paused and asked uncertainly, "Could it be... wrong?"

"Pfft... Haha... Hahahaha..."

The Prince of Wales buried his head in Yingtian's chest, and his suppressed yet happy laughter, though deliberately concealed, still reached Yingtian's ears through his body.

Ying Tian said somewhat awkwardly, "It seems that's not right."

"Whether it's right or wrong doesn't matter anymore. I appreciate the Commander's intention to leave something important to me." The Prince of Wales tiptoed and playfully nuzzled Ying Tian's nose. "Nothing else matters. The Commander's intention is the most important thing."

Yingtian slipped his hands under the Prince of Wales's armpits, wrapped them around her beautiful back, and whispered, "Then I need to let you know a little more about her."

As he spoke, Ying Tian lowered his head and took the initiative to kiss the beauty's rosy lips.

The Prince of Wales's waist was as supple as a spring, and it continued to soften until it finally collapsed into a pool of water. Ying Tian's waist also bent lower and lower until the two of them slumped down on a roadside bench, where they became even more unrestrained.

He didn't know how much time had passed; all he could hear was the other's heartbeat. It felt like an eternity, yet also like a fleeting moment. Ying Tian pulled away from the Prince of Wales's lips. He saw the beauty's slightly flushed face and heard her soft, breathless voice: "...You're much more skilled than before. How many times have you kissed other people?"

Ying Tian was taken aback for a moment and said, "You're also a scholar of the White Snake?"

"What do you mean by 'white learning'?"

“Well…” Ying Tian thought it would be difficult to explain this to people who didn’t know, and he felt quite guilty, so he told the truth, “It’s basically a way of mocking scumbags who cheat on their partners… Well, I don’t remember exactly, but I vaguely remember that it was three times with St. Louis and five times with Ron.”

"It's kind of you to remember." The Prince of Wales paused for a moment upon hearing this, then said with a wry smile, "You know that's really despicable."

"He's a piece of scum."

Ying Tian still had some self-awareness. Saying things like, "I like others, but you are the one I like the most," and "I will kiss her, but I will marry you," was just too despicable.

The Prince of Wales blinked: "Then I'll give you a chance: cut off all contact with them and only stay with me, how about that?"

Ying Tian thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I can't do it."

"why?"

"Because I can't refuse people who are good to me."

Central air conditioning?

"No, I don't turn on the heating myself. There are so many air conditioners blowing directly on me, and I can't turn off the power."

"So you're blaming us?"

Yingtian walked side by side with the Prince of Wales on the park path. He said, "It's my fault. Why is there such a strange spacetime influence? It affected you all. It was because I provided you with electricity that you were able to get warmth."

“It’s not your fault.” The Prince of Wales held Ying Tian’s hand and said calmly but affectionately, “The Commander and I are the same kind of people. I was just joking. I can’t live without the Commander, and I can’t live without everyone at the naval base, so it’s okay if you like someone else.”

"Yes, there is a connection."

“It’s no use having connections; the Commander already likes someone else.” The Prince of Wales glanced at the bustling crowd not far away, thinking of everyone who had fought for this plan, and said, “Don’t let us down, or I will look down on you.”

Ying Tian wanted to say that he became the commander because of you, and of course, St. Louis and the others also played a part, but ultimately it was because of you, Wales, and of course he would not let you down.

However, I really couldn't bring myself to say something that sounded like I was taking credit for something.

"I will never let you down."

"It's not me, it's us."

"I can't guarantee that."

"You must ensure that, Commander, you are prepared to make us all happy."

The Princess of Wales' voice was firm and powerful. She looked intently into Ying Tian's eyes, and under that gaze, Ying Tian, ​​who adhered to the principle of favoritism, could only say, "I will do my best."

"It's not about trying your best, it's about making sure you succeed."

The Prince of Wales tilted her head slightly. She was under a lot of pressure at the naval base. As the first ship girl to meet the commander and the one who received his favor, she was the target of everyone's envy. Although it is said that no one is mediocre if they are not envied, the upright Prince of Wales could not do anything for the people of the naval base while having the support of the naval base.

"You did a good job, I will reward you."

Ying Tian casually asked, "What reward?"

“The reward is…” The Prince of Wales pulled Ying Tian to a secluded path. She raised her head, her beautiful red eyes sparkling. “Ron has five times. I need to have more than her, at least one more time.”

Ying Tian paused for a moment before understanding what the Prince of Wales meant.

The Prince of Wales smiled faintly, his lips curving upwards. He was indeed upright, but his loveliness was ultimately selfish. Perhaps there was no conflict between public and private matters.

To be honest, Ying Tian wasn't very confident. If you want to be a central air conditioner, you need to have the power. It's fine for blowing on a few people, but blowing on hundreds...

However, he accepted the reward, so the two of them didn't buy any drinks when they returned to the hotel. Ying Tian didn't expect that most of the shops in London would be closed by 9 pm.

Of course, no one was being demanding; everyone tacitly agreed to this.

After finishing our personal matters, it was time to discuss business.

The Prince of Wales has contacted the Maxwell family of Plymouth Mining Company, who have indicated they will send someone in two days to escort Ying Tian and his delegation to Plymouth for business negotiations.

"So, Commander, you have two things to do in the next two days."

The Prince of Wales held up two fingers and said, “First, you must be familiar with everyone’s roles. A wife is a wife, a mistress is a mistress, a secretary is a secretary, and a maid is a maid. You must be able to blend into these relationships without letting others see through your disguise.”

“Okay.” Ying Tian felt there was no problem. Some things don’t need to be perfectly executed. Even husband and wife can have different dreams while sleeping in the same bed. In this era, secretaries and maids are just employees. There’s no need for them to be playing roles and have others see through it.

The Prince of Wales retracted his other finger and said, "Secondly, Commander, you yourself must have the air of a wealthy person in a high position, and at least you cannot show weakness."

Ying Tian said, "This is difficult; I can only do my best."

"There is still a way."

"any solution?"

Belfast, who was standing to one side, took out a bank card and said, "There are three hundred thousand pounds in here. The master needs to spend them within two days."

"All spent?"

Chapter Sixty-Nine: Everyone's playing themselves, so what am I playing?

Three hundred thousand pounds is roughly equivalent to two and a half million yuan.

Of course, you can't calculate it that way. After all, people earn pounds and spend pounds, so their spending power is different and they can't be compared.

Such a huge sum of money was something Yingtian would never have dared to dream of before, but now that he has it in his hands, he doesn't feel much. After all, it wasn't earned by him penny by penny, so he shouldn't feel bad about spending it.

Ying Tian thought to himself, "It's just spending money. As an international financial metropolis, London has countless ways to spend money if you want to. Making money is difficult, but spending money is easy."

Moreover, Ying Tian also knew that it wasn't necessary to spend it all; the main thing was to cultivate the feeling of spending money freely and not be timid or concerned about a few cents. This would have been quite difficult for the Ying Tian of the past, but the Ying Tian of today was full of confidence.

I'm the kind of man who would give away a necklace worth hundreds of millions, so spending 300,000 pounds is nothing to me.

With the itinerary and plans finalized, everyone returned to their respective rooms to rest.

At Yingtian's insistence, he occupied a room by himself. He wanted to stay with the Prince of Wales to continue their heartfelt conversations, but it was Guanghui who played the role of his wife.

It would be perfectly legitimate for her to live with Glorious, since she's a married ship. But to confess his feelings to the Prince of Wales and then immediately sleep with another woman is just too despicable.

Even if she promised the Prince of Wales that she would bring happiness to everyone and accepted her reward in advance, she should at least wait until tomorrow.

As it turns out, to become a central air conditioning system, you not only need sufficient power, but also a thick air conditioning deflector. How can you succeed if you don't have a thick skin?

If Ying Tian were truly a scoundrel, he could certainly indulge in debauchery without a care in the world. But then again, if Ying Tian were really such a scoundrel, the Prince of Wales wouldn't have called him Commander in the first place. Indeed, reality is full of contradictions.

No one else objected to this arrangement. After all, the commander lived alone, which meant everyone had a chance. It just depended on who had enough courage and determination to seize it. Of course, the most important thing was not to let others find out. After all, if you can do this, why can't I?

After saying goodnight to everyone, Ying Tian entered the room. To be honest, this was the most luxurious room Ying Tian had ever seen. The entire floor was covered with a thick, light yellow carpet, and warm-toned lighting shone on the walls, giving people a sense of security at first glance. The room not only had a changing room and a washroom, but also a row of small wine cabinets, which were filled with various high-end-looking red wines.

Despite its luxuriousness, Ying Tian still preferred the house outside the school, especially when six or seven people had to squeeze together, creating a noisy and cozy atmosphere.

He lay down on the bed, intending to take a shower before going to sleep, or perhaps in the morning. After all, he had slept for several hours in the afternoon and couldn't fall asleep at all, especially when he thought about what had just happened with the Prince of Wales, which made him feel both sweet and troubled.

Ying Tian lay on the bed and took out his phone. After the modification, the communication device that could contact the world of the naval base was no longer a big brick, but looked no different from an ordinary mobile phone. Although he didn't speak much, he liked to secretly observe when he had free time. As a result, he found that many ship girls were really interesting people.

His last post on WeChat Moments was to let everyone know he had arrived safely in London.
