Snatching Women from the Male Lead-Chapter 58: Gamblers
Chapter 58
Xu Yiyang was so excited that a crack appeared on Qin Zhao's face!
Her hand slowly reached for the chips...
"Sister Qin, wait a minute!" Xiao Ning held down Qin Zhao's restless hand and asked, "Can I see the cards?"
Xu Yiyang disdainfully said, "What are you waiting for?! Can't you afford to play?!"
Qin Zhao ignored him and nodded at Xiao Ning.
Xiao Ning took the cards and carefully viewed them.
After looking at the three cards, she closed her eyes, seemingly suppressing some emotion.
After a long while, she turned her head and gently shook her head at Qin Zhao, moving so subtly that if not for the eye cues, it would be barely noticeable.
But who was Xu Yiyang?
A psychology professor who could be desperate enough to cling to any hope, no matter how slim!
Of course he understood Xiao Ning's meaning.
He was secretly delighted in his heart, and no longer urged her, afraid that Qin Zhao would react adversely if he was too impatient, and not follow along.
He tried his best to refrain from smiling, and quietly waited for Qin Zhao's stance.
Qin Zhao patted Xiao Ning's hand back twice to comfort her, then pushed all her chips to the center of the table, and said, "Xu Yiyang, I don't believe you can have that great of a hand! I'm all in too!"
"Good! Let me show you what it means to be lucky!"
Xu Yiyang flipped his cards face up!
The crowd exclaimed!
Qin Zhao saw it too.
She slumped back in her chair dispiritedly, the light in her eyes gone, murmuring: "How could this be?"
"Three Kings! It's three Kings!!" someone excitedly yelled!
"Hahahahaha!" Xu Yiyang laughed and asked, "Qin Zhao, do you admit defeat?!"
Seeing Qin Zhao's dismayed appearance, Xu Yiyang was filled with ecstasy!
It was as if all the grievances and failures he had suffered in the first half of his life were to exchange for the victory of this moment!
At this moment, he did feel extreme bliss!
Satisfied, he turned his gaze to Nan Yue's face, but saw that Nan Yue was looking at Qin Zhao worriedly. fre𝚎w𝐞bn𝗼v𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝗼𝚖
He was not angry but laughed instead, and said to her: "Nan Yue, take a good look, this is your useless ex-boyfriend!"
Nan Yue ignored him, and he wanted to continue taunting Qin Zhao.
Just then he saw Qin Zhao sitting up straight, roughly grabbing her own cards, holding them in her hands and rubbing them, her face full of gloom and grief, looking so pitiful that everyone present didn't have the heart to look closely.
"What's the point of rubbing the cards, do you think you are the gambling god Zhou Xingxing?!"
Xu Yiyang snatched Qin Zhao's cards and threw them on the table, lecturing her: "No matter how long you drag this out till the casino closes tonight, your fate is to lose!"
After his action, the scene suddenly fell silent...
Xu Yiyang had assumed that Qin Zhao's cards were not better than his, so he didn't look.
Noticing the unusual atmosphere around him, he slowly lowered his head.
Immediately after, an earth-shattering, grief-laden male voice rang out in the casino: "Impossible! This is impossible!! There's no way I, Xu Yiyang, could lose!!"
"Ha!"
Qin Zhao laughed and held up the three Aces, winking at Nan Yue, "How's my acting?"
Nan Yue rolled her eyes at Qin Zhao.
Qin Zhao: "......"
Nan Yue was genuinely worried just now.
Turns out she was just pretending the whole time!
But what could she do to Qin Zhao, spank her? Now was not the time.
Scold her? Her vocabulary was not enough.
Nan Yue silently sighed...
Next to them, Xiao Ning, who was watching, somehow seemed to have a hint of indulgence on her face as she looked at Miss Nan.
She patted Qin Zhao's shoulder and said, "Sister Qin, you're so amazing!"
Qin Zhao turned her head and smiled at her, "You were also great, cooperating seamlessly with me. I didn't expect that you're quite capable with these things."
Xiao Ning smiled shyly, "I did prepare in advance to please Sister Qin."
Qin Zhao didn't take the bait.
She pushed five million chips to Xiao Ning and said, "This is your share. I was only able to win the third round with junk cards thanks to your superb acting."
Xiao Ning declined, "No need, my dad passed away and all his assets went to me, so I'm not lacking money."
Qin Zhao: "......"
It was not good to comment on this matter, just wish her success.
After yelling, Xu Yiyang's brain was oxygen deprived and he directly fainted.
With a thud he knocked himself awake again!
He opened his eyes groggily, facing the gambling table.
His eyes bulged wide, pupils contracted, not believing what he saw!
Under the table, Nan Yue was actually feeling up Qin Zhao's thigh!
Despite being pushed away by Qin Zhao several times, her lecherous hands kept groping until Qin Zhao stopped resisting.
Xu Yiyang desperately wished that the one whose thigh was being felt up by Nan Yue was him instead...
Thinking this, his eyes rolled back and he passed out again.
His assistants and followers rushed up to carry him away.
The scene regained its calm.
Under the envious gazes of those around them, Qin Zhao started counting her chips.
"Sister, let me help you," Xiao Ning said.
The two slowly counted together. Nan Yue suddenly spoke up, "No need to count, you won nine million eight hundred thousand."
Qin Zhao stopped and asked, "How do you know?"
Nan Yue just smiled without answering, only saying, "Thank you for tonight."
Qin Zhao laughed, "Although I don't know why you're still in such a good mood after losing money.
But we both won, you happily lost, and I happily won."
Nan Yue: "......"
No one is ever happy about losing, OK?
"Ahem!" A light cough sounded.
Qin Zhao looked towards the voice and saw Ye Jianxiong had already walked to her spot, casting an inviting look at Qin Zhao.
Qin Zhao would certainly not decline. Ye Jianxiong was the highlight of tonight, she had to participate the whole time.
She took her chips and moved to Ye Jianxiong's gambling table.
Xiao Ning and Nan Yue also followed along as spectators.
With Ye Jianxiong there, most people in the casino gathered towards them, squeezing their heads to vie for front row spots.
Even so, there was still ample space around Xiao Ning and Nan Yue, as everyone consciously avoided crowding them.
It had to be said, pretty women had privileges.
Seeing Qin Zhao's chips, visibly twice as much as before, Ye Jianxiong praised, "Miss Qin, your gambling skills are truly extraordinary, winning so many chips in such a short time!"
Qin Zhao indifferently said, "Perhaps the others were just too lousy."
"Hahaha." Ye Jianxiong laughed heartily, "Miss Qin is truly a modest person."
After some small talk, they got down to business.
"Miss Qin, do you know my rules?" Ye Jianxiong asked.
"I don't, why would I need to know your rules? You're not an international superstar."
Ye Jianxiong: "......"
"My rules are that if the opponent loses and still does not clear their debt before midnight, they will have a body part chopped off according to casino rules. I usually chop off their head."
He pointed at his own head, "Right here."
Qin Zhao almost lost her composure again, thinking to herself: His head really ought to be chopped off.
"I see. Then what if you lose?"
"If I lose, I'll also let you do as you wish.
But that situation won't happen, don't even think about it."
Ye Jianxiong's confidence was not put on; this gave Qin Zhao a sense of crisis.
Up to now, luck had contributed to all the games she had won.
If she just so happened to run out of luck with Ye Jianxiong, she could end up in a passive position.
But either way, this fight could not be avoided.
Qin Zhao no longer trash talked with Ye Jianxiong, simply saying, "Let's begin."
Ye Jianxiong looked at the dealer, who nodded.
He took out the cards and announced in a loud voice, "The game starts!"
