However, this successfully aroused her competitive spirit. Although she was repeatedly defeated by Lin Mo, she never admitted defeat.

The reason she chose to cheat was because her luck at cards had been extremely bad these past few days. Every time, she was completely outmatched by Lin Mo, losing all face.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo chuckled. This little girl, Qing Que, really is just like the one he drew in the game.

At least we had the same luck...

More than a decade ago, Lin Mo was a loyal unlucky player, always getting the minimum payout.

Back when he was using the Azure Sparrow team to fight bosses at home, he couldn't even get one of his five combat skill points to level up. Eventually, his blood pressure spiked, and he died young, peacefully... Ugh, he died with his eyes wide open!

Fortunately, Heaven has a benevolent heart, and after Lin Mo's death, he was reincarnated into the immortal ship Luofu in the world of Collapsed Iron that he had always longed for.

After arriving in this world, he relied on his intelligence and unparalleled talent to study like crazy in his early years, maximizing his divination skills. Later, he successfully entered the Imperial Divination Bureau, secured a stable job, and lived a wonderful life of fishing with Qingque every day.

However, the two of them were frequently caught skipping work by Fu Xuan, which eventually led to him and Qing Que being demoted to librarians...

Lin Mo naturally wanted to get some revenge on the person who had caused his death in his past life, or at least tease her a little.

Looking at Qingque, who was still sulking, Lin Mo said with a smile, "Qingque, you don't want people to know that you cheated at cards, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Qingque was first slightly taken aback, then her cheeks flushed slightly, and she said in embarrassment and indignation, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Just kidding, don't get excited." Lin Mo smiled shamelessly.

Looking at the leisurely Lin Mo, Qing Que was also at a loss.

She looked at the empty card table and felt a little guilty.

I finally managed to get together with Lin Mo for a bit of fun, but it ended badly because I cheated. Lin Mo's reputation at the card parlor will probably suffer because of my mischievousness.

Moreover, the gambling table is like a martial arts world, and he might even get into a lot of trouble because of himself!

Upon thinking of this, Qingque instantly lost all resentment.

Letting him flirt with me won't hurt, since I won't lose anything anyway, and I was in the wrong first.

Qingque sat in the chair, cupped her cheeks in her hands, and obediently lay on the card table, no longer arguing with Lin Mo.

Seeing that Qingque had become obedient, Lin Mo suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. He looked at Qingque, thought for a moment, and then said with a smile, "By the way, little Qingque, do you want to know why I'm so good at playing cards?"

"Huh?"

Upon hearing this, Qingque, somewhat dejected, turned to look at Lin Mo and paused in surprise.

"Hey, do you want to know the secrets to playing cards?" Lin Mo raised his voice a little.

"Yes! Of course I want to!"

Qingque finally realized what was happening, and she became excited, her eyes widening as if she had just discovered something amazing.

"Would you...would you be willing to tell me?" Qingque opened her starry eyes wide and looked at Lin Mo.

"Of course, don't forget, we've had this friendship built up over so many years of slacking off," Lin Mo said with a leisurely sip of water.

"What is it? What is it?" Qingque was so excited that she lost her composure. She moved closer and closer, and before she knew it, she was almost pressing her body against Lin Mo.

"Cough cough." Feeling Qingque's burning body temperature and alluring fragrance, Lin Mo's face turned red, and he coughed twice.

Realizing her lapse in composure, Qingque felt embarrassed. She quickly stood up, corrected her awkward posture, gave an embarrassed laugh, and immediately recovered.

Lin Mo, who was lounging in the chair looking quite content, glanced at her. Seeing how impatient she was, he couldn't help but sway and boast like an old charlatan: "Every word I'm about to say is a secret weapon from my mahjong parlor. You'd better write it down in your little notebook!"

"Yes, yes, yes! Oh, hurry up and tell me!" Qingque held her hands to her chest, almost forcing Lin Mo to reveal the secret with a fire poker.

Lin Mo stopped keeping him in suspense, and just as he was about to speak in a mysterious tone, a soft yet serious voice suddenly came from beside him.

“The Chief Minister has been very busy with official business these days. Every employee, from top to bottom, is extremely busy. You two, on the other hand, are quite leisurely and even have time to play around here.”

Instantly, the excitement on Qingque's face vanished like a receding tide, leaving her pale face filled with terror!

She turned her head mechanically and woodenly, like a doll...
