As expected, Chu Wuyou announced her win almost simultaneously when Xi Ji discarded a tile to the floor. It all happened quickly.
The latter felt like crying but no tears fell from his eyes. He definitely brought this upon himself. Third Elder Sister-in-law was initially focused on “attacking” Lil Five but why did he make the mistake of making that stupid remark?
Chu Wuyou pretty much won every game after that. The woman seemed to be extremely fortunate today as she managed to get every piece that she wished for. However, she only focused on defeating both Fifth Young Master Shen and Xi Ji, especially the former.
She refused to call the winning hand on tiles discarded by Tang Ling. Ye Lanchen became upset upon discovering that.
Tang Ling never hid his good impression toward Chu Wuyou even though he did not say it out loud to Ye Lanchen’s face. The latter was greatly troubled by that.
He tightened his arm around the woman’s waist as a subtle warning each time she passed on the chance to defeat Tang Ling.
Chu Wuyou’s body tensed up. She intended to turn around to face him but she refrained from doing so as she was reminded of the accidental kiss she planted on his cheek earlier. She wondered how she had offended him again this time.
Was she too “ferocious” in the attack that he began to feel bad for his brothers?
Probably not. She figured he would have done worse if he was in her shoes.
Although the woman could not quite grasp the situation at that moment, she was sure that something else must be bothering him.
Tang Ling smiled brightly as he glanced at Chu Wuyou again. The dazzling beam seemed hidden with meaningful intent.
Fifth Young Master Shen was extremely frustrated. Thinking that he was probably not going to win again this evening, he figured he had to at least satisfy the burning desire in him to tease the couple.
“Third Elder Brother and Third Elder Sister-in-law, how’s married life treating you?” Fifth Young Master Shen questioned as he regarded Ye Lanchen mischievously. In actuality, he already formed a thought in his mind regarding their married life, based on the information he acquired before this and the things he witnessed from the security footage earlier.
Therefore, he posed this question intentionally just for fun.
Chu Wuyou suddenly lifted her head and her eyes swept over Fifth Young Master Shen. That seemingly nonchalant glance was filled with a chilly, murderous intent. It was alright to joke around but this man was definitely playing with fire today.
She did not wish to continue discussing this topic.
A cold shiver ran down Fifth Young Master Shen’s spine when he met her gaze. Her indifferent glare was more terrifying than Third Elder Brother’s. He could almost feel the chill down to the marrow of his bones.
He quickly pursed his lips, terrified to utter another word.
Xi Ji was baffled. Lil Five was known for his talkative behavior thus it seemed strange that he would stop after posing just one question.
He could not shake the feeling that a cat must have caught Lil Five’s tongue.
Xi Ji did not see the woman’s glare. Ye Lanchen who was seated behind her also was not aware of that.
However, Tang Ling noticed it and he reckoned he needed to step up his plan.
Xi Ji was about to say something when Second Young Master Zhuo showed up. The event ended on that note.
“Husband, we won so much,” Chu Wuyou said as she rose to her feet, seizing this opportunity to struggle free from his hold on her. Having his arm wrapped tightly around her made her nervous and anxious. She turned to regard Ye Lanchen and gestured to the pile of money in front of her as if intending to ingratiate the man.
“Hmm.” Ye Lanchen wrapped his arm around her once more before lowering his head in the next second to kiss her again. This time, there was still some alcohol in his mouth and he took the opportunity to transfer the alcohol to her mouth. Chu Wuyou who was caught off guard swallowed the alcohol out of instinct.
She pushed him away forcefully once she realized what was going on.
“You… You…” A complicated emotion flashed across her face as she glanced at the wine glass in his hand. “You’ve been drinking…”
“Hmm?” Ye Lanchen raised his eyebrows in surprise. What was wrong about him drinking a little bit of wine?
A flurry of emotions stormed across her face in quick succession. She could not drink alcohol. The smell of it made her dizzy hence drinking it would definitely speed up the process. She would pass out for a brief moment, and when she came to again…
She had only drunk alcohol once in her entire lifetime. Qin Yutong told her later that she had turned into a crazy person after that and even acted indecently!!!
One thought flashed across her mind at this very moment – Chu Wuyou, you’re done for!!!
