“Do you know how to play card games?” Su Yue suddenly turned and stared at Qi Lei with an innocent expression embedded on her face .
Qi Lei momentarily froze before turning towards Su Yue . He lifted his eyebrows and asked apprehensively, “You mean… card games?”
Su Yue nodded . “Yes, the card game where someone gets to be a host . ”
“Oh!” Qi Lei understood what she meant . “I know how to play it, but why are you asking me?”
Su Yue grinned . “Let's play . ”
Under the sunlight, she was so tiny that it seemed to have enveloped her entirely . The smile on her exquisite-looking face bloomed like a beautiful and delicate flower .
Her smile had Qi Lei awestruck, it was only when he had blushed that he finally snapped out of his reverie . It was the first time he had ever seen such a beautiful smile on a girl .
He stuttered . “The… card game? But there is only two of us . ”
“We can still play . ” Su Yue excitedly nodded .
She bent her head and gobbled down the rest of her rice .
Qi Lei was still feeling light-headed as though he was floating in mid-air .
Both of them… could play?
Qi Lei spent an entire afternoon with Su Yue . Since it was just the two of them, they still dealt cards for three players, with Su Yue representing two players .
Qi Lei didn't know how he had spent the hours, but it felt as though the entire afternoon passed by sleepily .
Su Yue could tell that he wasn't really invested in the game, and so she brought up an idea . She suggested, “Let's add stakes . ”
Qi Lei's mouth twitched . “Stakes… What stakes?”
Was she trying to gamble with money?
He didn't bring any money with him . Even if he did, he wouldn't gamble with a young girl like her .
“If one of us loses, we remove a layer of clothing,” Su Yue quipped . She pressed her palms against the table and stood up . She limped to Xuxu's room .
Qi Lei called her with haste . “Hey… Su Yue…”
However, Su Yue ignored him and came out of the room after some time . Numerous layers of clothing covered her, and it made her look bloated . In her arms were more clothing .
Qi Lei's mouth continuously twitched . “What… are you trying to do?”
Su Yue casually answered, “Your clothes aren't enough so you need more . ”
She walked to Qi Lei and passed him the clothes .
'Sigh!'
He thought, “Su Yue, don't you know how expensive your third sister-in-law's clothes are? Some of them cost a hundred thousand yuan . Is this really a good idea?”
“Aren't you afraid of arrogant Third Brother?”
Qi Lei stared at the clothing, apparently dumbfounded .
But he knew that a person like Su Yue hardly had anything they like . So, it was quite a surprise that she would be so obsessed with a card game . More so, the penalty was quite perverted, and he thought the game wasn't particularly interesting . It was rather childish, actually .
He sighed . Sister Xuxu had instructed him to take good care of her, so making her happy should be one of his priorities .
The shooting ended at about half-past six . Xuxu took a taxi to the restaurant . Jiangnan River Delta was a grand and exotic-looking Chinese restaurant which served signature dishes .
The waiters warmly welcomed her the moment they saw her .
“Hello . ”
Xuxu told the waiters the private room number, and one of them led the way .
She whipped out her phone and was in the midst of dialing Yan Rusheng's number . She wanted to ask if he had fetched Jiang Qinglian when a call interrupted her .
Ming Ansheng was on the other line, and she stared at his name with a frown . Why would he call her?
She answered, “Hello, Ming Ansheng . ”
Ming Ansheng spoke, “Are you at home with Su Yue? I have some Chemistry books for Su Yue and I'm on the way to your place . ”
So that was the reason he had called . “I'm not at home, but Su Yue is . ”
