Chapter 4051: Chapter 4051: Qin Si Gets Tricked by Sister Nian Again

Qiao Nian lazily leaned back with an air that made it seem like she was holding a pair of jokers and four twos.

Across from her, Qin Si was seated, clutching a handful of farmer cards, and he swallowed hard and decisively passed the opportunity to be the landlord to Jiang Li.

He didn’t forget to trustingly tell Qiao Nian at the end, "Sister Qiao, we’re counting on you!"

Qiao Nian lifted her eyelids and returned the gesture with an OK sign, smirking as she replied, "Sure, count on me to pay up together."

"Haha, I trust you won’t crash!" Qin Si hadn’t realized that Qiao Nian was speaking the truth, thinking he was being quite clever.

He assumed the boss was just being low-key.

Jiang Li gave him a sidelong glance and asked before revealing his cards, "Do you want to increase the stakes?"

This is a common play style in the game.

Typically, players can choose to double the stakes or not before starting.

Qin Si was thinking of teaming up with Qiao Nian and without hesitation, pushed his stakes forward, declaring heroically, "Double! Why not double?"

Tang Ning glanced at the cards from the three players.

She knew Qiao Nian’s hand wasn’t as good as Young Master Qin’s, so she lifted her hand to her forehead and silently gave Qin Si a thumbs up.

Sure enough, Jiang Li immediately revealed his cards, not giving him a chance to back down.

What followed was a one-sided slaughter.

Jiang Li’s hand was full of good cards, causing Qin Si to frequently look at Qiao Nian, hoping she could turn the tide. But the girl just rested one hand on the back of her chair, holding a bunch of cards, and every time it was her turn, she would respond softly, "... pass."

Until Jiang Li dropped a King Bomb.

Qin Si shot up, snatched the cards from Qiao Nian’s hand, saw the mess of a hand she had, and couldn’t help but wail, "No, Sister Qiao. Your cards are terrible, what were you strutting for?"

He was led to believe right till the end that the King Bomb in Jiang Li’s hand was with Qiao Nian. He still held a sliver of hope that Qiao Nian would bomb Jiang Li’s hand.

Who knew Sister Qiao was holding a trash hand, bombing his hopes instead, blowing his chance to turn the tables into pieces...

Qiao Nian placed her cards on the table and let Tang Ning take her place: "The stakes are there; if we lose it’s on me, if we win it’s on you."

Tang Ning didn’t hesitate and sat down immediately, "Alright, if I win, dinner’s on me for Miss Qiao."

Her straightforward personality was quite likable; sure enough, Qiao Nian nodded in agreement.

Tang Ning happily took over Qiao Nian’s spot and called Qin Si and Jiang Li to play together again.

...

"Why did you come in so late?" Qiao Nian put down her dominoes to make time to talk to Ye Wangchuan. She moved through the bustling crowd, turned her head to speak to the man.

"Hmm?" The room was noisy with many people and music playing, creating quite a lively atmosphere.

Ye Wangchuan didn’t catch what she said at first, raised his eyebrows, his striking appearance thriving, no wonder he was revered as Beijing’s top in looks.

Qiao Nian couldn’t help but take a few more glances, then leaned in a bit closer and slowly continued, "I was asking why you came in so late."

Ye Wangchuan felt a tickling at the back of his neck, noticing the girl’s long black hair falling close, seemingly unnoticed by Qiao Nian, her bright eyes drawing near, reflecting his face.

He paused his breath briefly, his fingers tightening around the glass he held, a curve gracing his lips: "Had to take a call."

"Oh." Qiao Nian responded, pulling herself back.

Just as she was about to create some distance.

Her fingers were suddenly grasped and she was pulled back in.

Qiao Nian was caught off guard, bumped into his embrace, instinctively remembering the wound on his shoulder, her body twisted slightly, and she was unsteadily sitting, almost falling off.
