Everyone nervously watched the row of judges at the panel, each with a different skin tone.
Of course, the most eye-catching one was the man sitting in the center—even with a mask on, The Captain radiated an irresistible masculine charm.
Many women present couldn't help but think, if all captains were this stunning, there probably wouldn't be any humans left on land.
He was almost unrealistically gorgeous.
When it was Cecilia Gu's turn, she walked up holding her cream puff cake. Honestly, judging by its appearance—
—nobody would want to buy it.
These chefs were all selected from the world's top six-star culinary masters.
One glance was enough for them to tell Cecilia's cake was... not great...
But as soon as Cecilia walked up, The Captain spoke: "Put that cake here. I'll be the judge."
Cecilia hesitated for a moment, but obediently placed the cake in front of him.
Cecilia knew her cake wasn't great.
So she didn't have the courage to show off her cooking skills in front of these master chefs.
Everyone else divided their food into a dozen portions and delivered them to each judge.
Only Cecilia's was placed separately in front of The Captain.
The Captain reached out and gently cut a piece, placed it on a plate, and tasted it elegantly.
His slender fingers paused, and he gave his verdict in two words: "Terrible."
Cecilia's body stiffened instantly.
Other judges, even if the food was bad, wouldn't say anything—they'd just give a low score.
But The Captain didn't hesitate to give his blunt review!
The other women saw The Captain's harsh comment about Cecilia's cream puff cake and couldn't help but feel a little pleased.
But The Captain actually ate every piece of cake on his plate, one after another.
"This is the worst cake I've ever tasted," The Captain said, mercilessly criticizing Cecilia Gu.
Cecilia Gu was just about to roll her eyes at him.
Suddenly, Cecilia Gu froze!
Wait a second!
That habit—wasn't it unique to a certain someone?
Cecilia Gu stepped forward and reached out, about to grab The Captain's face.
Unexpectedly, he grabbed Cecilia Gu's hand, then gently kissed the back of it. "What? Even though I said your cake tastes terrible, I haven't given my final score yet. Are you really that eager to offer yourself up?"
What nonsense is this guy talking about!
Cecilia Gu was about to speak when The Captain suddenly raised a finger to his lips. "Shh, it's almost time to score! Don't make a fuss!"
As soon as he finished speaking, The Captain pulled Cecilia Gu into his arms, seating her right on his lap in front of everyone!
Ahhh! The Captain's lap!
Ahhh! The Captain, how can you be so bold?
Ahhh! Captain, can you save the other leg for us?
Cecilia Gu was completely stunned.
What is going on here?
First he teased her in private, now he's doing it in public?
Cecilia Gu was just about to get up when The Captain suddenly cried out, startling her into staying put.
"Ouch, he kicked me! This little rascal, how dare you kick me," The Captain said with a bright smile.
Only then did Cecilia Gu realize The Captain's long fingers were boldly wrapped around her waist, resting on her belly.
Only then did Cecilia Gu snap out of it.
Yeah, even as a pregnant woman, I’m not this dramatic. But he’s acting all sensitive!
"The Captain sure has a unique taste!" Cecilia Gu teased him on purpose.
"Mm." The Captain gave a muffled laugh. "Yeah, I just like pregnant women like you."
Ugh, this is so infuriating!
Cecilia Gu stared at his flawless face, then reached out to grab his mask.
"If you're not afraid I'll kiss you in front of everyone, go ahead and take it off," The Captain said, looking straight at her and openly threatening.
Cecilia's face instantly turned as red as a tomato.
This guy...
Now Cecilia was ninety-nine percent sure who he was!
Because that line was something that jerk had said before!
Looks like today, he's done hiding!
By now, the judges had finished tasting and were ready to score.
"Who do you think will win the championship today?" The Captain rubbed his chin against Cecilia's head, like she was his pet mole.
Cecilia glared at him fiercely. "Had enough yet? Is teasing me that fun?"
He pretended to think seriously, then replied with a straight face, "It's fun."
Cecilia was so angry she wanted to stand up, but before she could move, he quickly added, "Don't make a scene, there are so many people here! What if I get carried away and kiss you, and everyone gets jealous?"
Cecilia shot him a fierce look, then turned her attention to the judges as they started scoring.
She saw all the women below glaring at her with fiery eyes. Clearly, this guy had stirred up a ton of public outrage!
Hmph, if you start a fire, you’d better put it out!
Scoring ended quickly, and the results were announced soon after.
Cecilia noticed that the chef judges all checked with him first before announcing the scores and rankings.
Every family that participated in the event got a prize.
The grand prize didn’t go to Jane Xiao—it was won by a young couple.
Mu Ruona looked a little disappointed, but she didn’t seem too upset.
After all, her sports car was no worse than a Porsche.
At this moment, The Captain spoke slowly, "Now I'm going to give out a special grand prize. The prize is... a kiss from me."
The moment he finished speaking, everyone on site gasped!
Countless women stared daggers at Cecilia Gu, practically poking holes in her!
Cecilia jabbed his chest with her elbow. "Still playing! Are you ever done?"
"How is this playing? This is a very serious award! Thank you to my wife, for making the worst cream puff cake in history. This prize is well-deserved." Before he finished speaking, he had already taken off his mask and wig, revealing a face that could topple nations and charm the world.

Hiss—everyone in the crowd sucked in a breath.
Jane Xiao's family was shocked—they never expected The Captain to be Charles Yin!
But everyone else was gasping because—what did he just say?! He called her his wife! Are they married?
I can't go on!
Such a handsome Captain, just let me die!
Charles Yin ignored Cecilia’s stunned state and leaned down, kissing her deeply in front of everyone.
My little mole, I finally get to kiss you again!
Mu Ruona and Mo Zixuan were the first to react, clapping enthusiastically in the crowd!
Jane Xiao and the others joined in, clapping along.
They never imagined Charles Yin would be on the boat too, but seeing their daughter and son-in-law reconcile, Jane Xiao was still happy.
Everyone else quickly caught on.
They’re a married couple! And look, she’s pregnant!
But wow, she’s really lucky!
Her husband is so handsome, so handsome, so handsome!
And he’s so rich, so devoted…
Everyone finally realized why The Captain had only looked at her since entering…
Because she’s his beloved wife!
Once all the women understood, their jealousy of Cecilia Gu only grew wilder!
She looked so ordinary, but she’d snagged the world’s most handsome man…
Cecilia finally snapped back to reality.
She stared at his familiar face, suddenly remembering all the times she’d been teased these past few days…
Charles Yin, you’re dead!
Cecilia tried to push Charles away, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t budge his chest.
Ugh!
The harder Cecilia pushed, the tighter his arms became.
Finally, Cecilia got mad and bit Charles Yin’s lip hard.
A sweet metallic taste instantly filled her mouth.
Charles Yin didn’t let go—instead, he deepened the kiss, pouring all his carefulness, grievances, and apologies into Cecilia in this domineering way.
At first, Cecilia resisted.
But slowly, her eyes softened more and more…
The kiss lasted a long, long time.
The two of them kissed as if the world was spinning.
It was as if everyone else had ceased to exist.
In this world, there was only the two of them.
Yes, just the two of them.
In this world of love, there was no need for a third person—just the two of them was enough.
With you, it’s already enough.
When the kiss finally ended, Cecilia felt her heart pounding wildly.
She had a thousand things to blame him for, a million things to be angry about, but at this moment, it all melted away.
Charles Yin pressed his forehead against Cecilia’s, cupped her cheeks gently, and whispered, "Xixi, I’m sorry for making you suffer. But you promised you’d trust me. Why didn’t you believe me this time? Your husband—are you really going to stop trusting me? Xixi, don’t push me toward other women, okay? In this world, no matter how good or beautiful other women are, they’re not you. The only one I want is you."
Cecilia’s eyes turned red, and she was silent for a long time.
"You’re so heartless, just leaving like that. Do you know, when you left, this place felt so empty." Charles Yin pulled Cecilia’s hand to his chest. "It’s so empty here, Xixi, come back! Come back and fill it up, okay?"
Tears streamed down Cecilia’s face.
Right now, she had no idea what to say.
"Be good, my little mole, come back... come back..." Charles Yin gently pecked Cecilia’s lips, begging with a sorrowful look.
Cecilia hadn’t really reacted yet, but everyone around them felt their hearts breaking!
Such a handsome man, begging so humbly—he’s breathtaking!
He’s killing us with this!
Hey, pregnant lady, if you don’t say yes soon, we’re all gonna kneel!
We’ll kneel if that’s what it takes!
Please don’t torture our male idol anymore!
We’ll die if you keep this up!
