Gu Youran's cheeks flushed, and she looked up at Shi Heng slightly, "I like it, I like it very much."
Shi Heng kissed her lightly on the forehead.
At this time, Shi Heng's cell phone rang.
It was Fu Xingyao who called and asked him to go to the Emperor for a gathering and bring Gu Youran with him.
Shi Heng hung up the phone and said to Gu Youran, "The friends you met last time are inviting us to dinner. Let's go together."
Gu Youran nodded in agreement. She also wanted to integrate into Shi Heng's circle as soon as possible.
…
The two came to the emperor's luxurious private room.
The six people inside quickly stood up and greeted him.
Three of them, Gu Youran had met last time, were Fu Xingyao, Si Wenjie, and Gu Xun.
In addition, there were three unfamiliar faces, one man and two women.
Fu Xingyao smiled and embraced the girl beside him, saying gently, "Everyone, meet me, this is my girlfriend, Jian Cheng."
Then, he pointed to the young man next to him and said, "This is my younger brother Fu Xinglang. He was clamoring to come along. He said he was impressed by your last billiards game and now he's your little fanboy."
Fu Xinglang blushed, his hands nervously tugging at the corners of his clothes, "Hello, sister-in-law."
Gu Youran smiled and responded, "Hello, nice to meet you."
Gu Xun also smiled and introduced his female companion, "This is Xu Jiajia, a little star I've been promoting recently. She's just become a bit famous recently, so I brought her here to see the world."
Xu Jiajia bowed slightly and greeted politely: "Hello everyone, nice to meet you all."
Everyone took their seats.
When Xu Jiajia saw Shi Heng, her eyes were filled with amazement.
She leaned close to Gu Xun's ear and whispered, "Brother Xun, who is that? I have never seen a man so handsome and so imposing."
Gu Xun looked displeased and scolded him lightly, "Don't be a fangirl. She's already taken, and her background is not something you can dream of."
Xu Jiajia curled her lips and looked away unwillingly, but she couldn't help but secretly look at Shi Heng with admiration that was hard to conceal in her eyes.
Shi Heng naturally sat next to Gu Youran and kept picking up food for her during the meal.
He carefully picked out a piece of boneless fish and placed it in Gu Youran's bowl, saying softly, "Try this. You love fish, and this place makes it very tasty."
After a while, he poured another bowl of hot soup and handed it to her after it cooled down. "Drink some soup to warm yourself up."
This scene surprised everyone else at the table.
Fu Xingyao couldn't help but tease, "Heng, I've never seen you so considerate before. You've really changed."
Shi Heng's expression remained unchanged. He simply looked at Gu Youran tenderly and said, "She is my wife. Naturally, I must take good care of her."
Gu Youran's cheeks flushed slightly as she scolded him, "There are so many people watching, why don't you pay attention?"
Shi Heng smiled, his eyes focused, "In my eyes, there is only you, no need to care about others."
The meal ended with Shi Heng constantly showing off his love.
After dinner, everyone moved to the private room next door, which had a full range of entertainment facilities where they could sing and play cards.
As soon as they entered, Fu Xingyao pulled Jian Cheng to sit on the sofa and asked with a smile: "Chengzi, do you want to sing or play cards?"
Jian Cheng blinked and said, "I want to hear you sing."
Fu Xingyao pinched her nose lovingly and replied, "Okay, then I'll sing a song for you first."
Gu Xun greeted everyone, "Come on, come on, those who want to play cards, sit here."
So Gu Xun, Si Wenjie, and Fu Xinglang sat down. There was still one person missing, so Gu Xun called out to Shi Heng, "Heng, come and make up the number."
Shi Heng wasn't interested in these things, so he turned to look at Gu Youran, "Youbao, do you want to play?"
Gu Youran's eyes flashed with interest, "You can give it a try."
So, Gu Youran sat down at the card table and Shi Heng sat next to her.
Gu Xun shuffled the cards while teasing with a smile, "Ah Heng, you really are the 'wife-loving maniac' online. You don't even play cards, just stay by your sister-in-law's side."
Shi Heng's expression remained unchanged, he simply said, "It's fun to watch her play."
Si Wenjie also joked, "I usually see you act decisively, but I didn't expect you to be so patient in front of your sister-in-law."
Gu Xun urged with a smile, "Alright, alright, stop joking and get started!"
The game begins.
Shi Heng leaned closer to Gu Youran and whispered, "Fight however you want. If you win, it's yours. If you lose, it's mine."
Gu Youran looked at the cards in his hand with a firm look in his eyes, "I won't lose."
Shi Heng didn't take her words seriously. He just ruffled her hair lovingly, put his arm around her shoulders, and looked at her face tenderly.
Gu Youran was watching the other three people play their cards carefully.
Fu Xingyao and Jian Cheng sang three songs and then came over to join in the fun. Seeing his brother's excited face, he couldn't help but ask, "Xinglang, why are you laughing like that? Did you win money?"
Fu Xinglang looked very proud, "Not much, just a few million."
Fu Xingyao was very surprised. He knew his brother's card skills very well. Facing Gu Xun and Si Wenjie, he was lucky not to lose, but he could actually win money.
So, out of curiosity, he pulled over a chair and sat down to watch.
Only then did I realize that Gu Youran and Fu Xinglang were winning the game.
Every time Gu Youran plays a card, it seems casual, but there is a mystery hidden behind it.
Where did a woman like her learn such card skills?
Shi Heng sat aside, taking in every move of Gu Youran.
He clearly realized that Gu Youran had been able to play her cards cleverly at critical moments from the very beginning, as if she knew exactly what cards everyone had.
The course of the game seemed to be under her control, and exactly as she expected. This was obviously not luck.
Even Shi Heng was secretly impressed by such exquisite card skills and meticulous thinking. Although he remained calm on the surface, his heart was already in turmoil.
Shi Heng didn't want the game to continue, so he said, "Okay, let's stop playing after this round."
Finally, the game ended in a tense atmosphere among everyone.
Fu Xinglang jumped up excitedly, looking at the huge amount of chips he had won, and grinned from ear to ear, "Haha, I'm so lucky today!"
Gu Youran couldn't help but smile at his childish appearance, and then pushed all the chips she had won in front of Shi Heng, "Here, for you."
Gu Xun watched from the side, his eyes filled with flames of jealousy.
He couldn't contain his curiosity and asked, "Sister-in-law, your card skills are amazing! How do you play?"
Gu Youran leaned in Shi Heng's arms and said calmly, "I have a good memory. I can count the cards in your hands. It's nothing."
A few simple words, but like a huge rock hitting the water, caused a thousand waves.
Everyone was stunned at first, and then there were exclamations and gasps one after another.
Shi Heng stared at Gu Youran, his eyes were like the warm spring sun, full of pampering and pride.
Fu Xinglang ran up to Gu Youran, his face flushed, and asked anxiously, "Sister-in-law, will you accept a disciple?"
Shi Heng's eyes turned cold, he glared at him, and whispered, "You wish."
