Stubborn Love of a Roguish Scion - Chapter 201

Chapter 201: Mo Jiangye, Did You Cheat?

“Be obedient, Xiao Ruo,” said Lin Jingxuan as he held her hands.

“Hubby, will you be going to the Blue Tower with that woman once you’ve recovered? Are you going to abandon me?”

His brows furrowed. “I won’t be going there.”

It was only after hearing this assuring answer that Xiao Ruo felt relieved.

…

Meanwhile, at Wealth City Casino…

Countless gamblers surrounded the gaming tables amid billows of cigarette smoke.

Seated beside this crowd was Ye Erruo, who stared and counted the money before her over and over again. In exchange for her husband finding her a lawyer, she was supposed to attend an event with him, though she had never expected it to be a gambling event.

The game Mo Jiangye was playing, Baccarat, was very simple. The player’s goal was to get a higher hand value than the opponent. The dealer beside him started dealing the cards between the two players. Fury burned in the eyes of the man opposite him as he eyed the money pile in front of Ye Erruo. Beads of cold sweat were dotting his forehead, and his hands were clenched tight.

Mo Jiangye calmly scanned the big, burly foreigner opposite him. He had won every round of the game so far, which had infuriated the foreigner so much that he wanted to rip him apart.

“You cheated,” argued the man in a sinister voice.

Lounging against the chair, he merely raised a brow and smirked as he took a long drag on his cigarette and put his arm around the woman. His cocky behavior spoke volumes of his unruliness.

Suddenly, the couple happened to turn their heads to look at each other at the same time. A plume of smoke was exhaled from his mouth before it rushed toward her face.

Cough, cough, cough, cough… She immediately choked on the thick, pungent smell.

“Ha…” A laugh escaped him as his eyes were filled with mischief and tenderness.

He then pulled her to her feet as he rose from his seat. “Let’s go.”

Bang!

The man behind him smashed his fist on the gambling table in outrage. “You’re leaving? You want to leave after winning money?”

All at once, the people around them surrounded the couple.

“Keep a good eye on him. I want to find out how he cheated so I can chop off his hands.”

Thwack! A knife was embedded on the table’s surface.

Ye Erruo sarcastically remarked, “Don’t gamble if you can’t afford to lose.”

“Shut your filthy trap, b*tch.”

“Sit down. Get back in your seats now,” sputtered the man.

Squinting, Mo Jiangye pushed the pile of money forward before calmly taking a seat again. “Put down the same amount that I’ve placed and we’ll play.”

“Bring my money over.”

One by one, several cases worth of cold, hard cash in red were poured onto the table.

“Open your eyes wide and watch properly how this chap cheats.”

“Yes, Boss.”

His eyes dimmed in ambiguity when he saw the cash on the gambling table.

“Deal the cards.”

The dealer began shuffling the cards before he dealt them to the two players.

On either side of his opponent were two seductive women who were sprawled all over him. While flashing him fawning smiles, they lit his cigarette, massaged his shoulders, and peeled and fed him a banana.

Mo Jiangye silently turned his head over and shot his wife a look.

“What’s wrong?”

“I’m thirsty.”

The woman furrowed her brows as she poured a cup of water and placed it before him. She then curiously scanned her surroundings with her peripheral vision. It was her first time in a casino.

There were several other gambling tables not far away from them and, from time to time, shrieks of delight and howls of anguish could be heard in the background.

“What are you looking at?” He turned her head back to face him with his big hand.

“Nothing.”

“My shoulders hurt,” he added.

Ye Erruo arched a brow at that comment. She understood what he meant at once when she noticed the group of women clinging onto the foreign man. She curled her lips up into a smile as she stood up to stand behind him and massage his shoulders. “Where are you hurting?”

“Everywhere.” His lips arched upward.

She started kneading his shoulders lightly as she leaned over and whispered into his ear in confusion, “Did you really cheat?”

He hasn’t lost a single round since we entered this place…
