She timidly drew another card, lowered her head slightly, her cheeks flushed, and looked at Lu Qingzhou shyly, gently dropping a card: "A three."
Su Qingyao swayed slightly, almost vomiting blood, utterly speechless.
Looking at Leng Yue, he gritted his teeth and said, "You actually played three!"
Mu Shaohua and Lin Yinuo burst into laughter. Mu Shaohua laughed and slapped the table, laughing so hard she was doubled over, muttering, "Qingyao, you've shot yourself in the foot."
Lin Yinuo laughed until tears streamed down her face, clutching her stomach and gasping for breath: "This is hilarious! This card game is absolutely amazing!"
Lin Yinuo immediately picked up the wine on the table, pointed it at Mu Shaohua, and said with a smile, "Mu Shaohua, let's have a drink, hehe."
Mu Shaohua also picked up the wine glass on the table, glancing intentionally or unintentionally at Su Qingyao, whose face was gloomy, and said exaggeratedly, "This round was really too exciting, we must have a drink. Cheers."
Su Qingyao was seething with hatred, and after glancing at Leng Yue beside her, she could only snort inwardly.
However, Lu Qingzhou merely glanced at his cards, then looked at Leng Yue, and calmly said, "No."
The group was stunned, their eyes fixed on Lu Qingzhou, completely bewildered by his actions.
Lin Yinuo quickly reminded her, "You don't even want one of them? Are you sure?"
Lu Qingzhou shook his head, deliberately straightened his back, raised his chin slightly, and replied in a pretentious manner, "I just don't want it. Don't worry about it, I have my own plans."
Upon hearing Lu Qingzhou say "no,"
Leng Yue's heart skipped a beat, as if something had shattered.
"Is he rejecting me? Does he not like me at all, and doesn't even want my cards?"
A wave of sadness washed over him, and his expression became somewhat forlorn. He unconsciously gripped the cards in his hand tighter.
Su Qingyao, standing to the side, was somewhat moved.
"My husband is protecting me; he doesn't want me to lose too badly in front of everyone."
Thinking of this, Su Qingyao raised her head slightly, looked at Lu Qingzhou with deep affection, and tears gradually welled up in her eyes.
Her voice trembled slightly as she said, "Honey, I was wrong. I'll never be willful again. You can tell from this little thing that you're the best to me."
Then he tossed the cards in his hand onto the table and whispered, "A 4."
When Leng Yue came to her senses, she suddenly felt a surge of inexplicable anger rising in her heart, filled with resentment.
Her brows furrowed tightly, almost twisting into a knot, and she stared intently at Lu Qingzhou, demanding, "Why don't you want it? You have to give me an explanation today. Don't try to fool me!"
The group was taken aback by Leng Yue's sudden reaction.
All eyes immediately turned to her. Su Qingyao stared blankly at Leng Yue. What's wrong with this girl? She seems even angrier than me!
Lin Yinuo naturally knew why Leng Yue was angry, but she just quietly watched how Lu Qingzhou would respond.
Mu Shaohua's beautiful eyes gleamed, her gaze sweeping over Leng Yue, as if she understood something.
At this moment, the main character—Lu Qingzhou—
Looking blankly at the angry Leng Yue, Lu Qingzhou was completely bewildered and couldn't understand why the woman had suddenly become angry. "Could it be that she's on her period?" As soon as this thought came to mind, Lu Qingzhou immediately dismissed it. "Impossible."
Before he could think any further,
Leng Yue quickly reached out and grabbed the cards that Lu Qingzhou had placed on the table.
With a sharp flick of his wrist, he slammed his hand down on the table with a loud "thud".
After seeing Lu Qingzhou's overwhelming success in securing orders...
At first, he was a little dumbfounded, then he exclaimed without caring about his image: "Holy crap, it's a 3. So you couldn't afford it. I thought you were deliberately refusing!"
Instantly, everyone's eyes turned to the cards in front of Lu Qingzhou.
Immediately afterwards, everyone's attention focused on Lu Qingzhou.
Everyone had different thoughts, yet they all carried a hint of speechlessness.
They had envisioned the beginning, but never expected such a ridiculous ending.
Leng Yue stared silently at the lone 3 on the table, her tense shoulders and body gradually relaxing.
She pondered to herself, 'So it wasn't that he wasn't interested in me, it's just that he couldn't afford me.'
The disappointment and sadness I felt just moments ago have slowly dissipated.
Su Qingyao stood to the side, feeling a burning sensation on her face.
She felt so embarrassed that she wanted to disappear into a crack in the ground. Just moments ago, she had been so certain that Lu Qingzhou was actively protecting her.
In front of these women, he spoke those touching words with deep affection, and his mind conjured up a whole host of images of Lu Qingzhou's favoritism towards him.
I never expected it to turn out like this.
How embarrassing!
Mu Shaohua and Lin Yinuo were stunned for a moment, then looked at each other and burst out laughing as if their funny bone had been tickled.
Mu Shaohua laughed so hard she almost fell over, slapping her thigh repeatedly with one hand while clutching her stomach with the other.
Lin Yinuo laughed so hard that tears almost came out, and her body trembled with laughter.
"It's so funny, Brother Qingzhou, you're really something. Even I was fooled by your performance. I have to admit it."
As he spoke, he gave Lu Qingzhou a thumbs up.
Lu Qingzhou was incredibly embarrassed. He had originally intended to hide the cards in the deck, leaving some suspense and showcasing his glorious and imposing image. Now, Leng Yue had ruined everything.
