Chapter 1877: I’m in Charge

The pretty boy understood what was happening the moment he woke up; he thought maybe he could play dumb and bluff his way through.

Clearly, Yaen Chi wasn’t someone easy to fool.

“I really don’t know. I just got beaten; how could I dare think anything? She’s been eyeing your body since we were in the desert, you know that…”

Yaen Chi’s eyes turned sharp.

The pretty boy didn’t dare say more, so he discreetly hid the woman behind his back, “I’ll talk to her.”

Yaen Chi said, “Keep your people in check. If this happens again, it won’t be as simple as sending her back.”

“Yes, yes… definitely, I’ll manage, I’ll handle it properly,” he paused and continued, “It’s very late. Grandpa, why don’t you go back and rest? I’ll talk to her. If you don’t want her to appear in front of you, I’ll send her… can’t send her away, then when you’re here, I’ll keep her in the room and not let her come out, okay?”

“Listen to you,” Yaen Chi sneered, “You make it sound like I’m petty.”

“You’re not!” The pretty boy, fearing he’d miss his chance, hurriedly shouted.

Yaen Chi turned and left, not uttering a single unnecessary word.

The pretty boy chased after him, calling for two servants to escort him back.

When he could no longer see Yaen Chi, he wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, walked back, squatted in front of the woman, and poked her, “What’s wrong with you? Didn’t I tell you not to provoke him?”

The woman sat cross-legged, whispering, “I thought it was a great opportunity to comfort him.”

The pretty boy snorted in exasperation, “Where did you get the confidence to think he needs comforting from you?”

The woman pouted, “That’s just what I thought!”

“Oh, so you’re stubborn? Why didn’t you show some backbone earlier? You act like a quail in front of others, yet with me, you’re always unabashed. Now that he’s gone, what’s the point of arguing with me?”

The woman recognized her mistake and looked at him pitifully.

“You feel wronged now? I’ve brought such a big trouble upon myself, and I have nowhere to cry about it. Can’t send him away, don’t dare mention it; just have to endure it until the day we say goodbye,” he warned, “You also need to keep quiet and don’t provoke him. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee he won’t hit a woman.”

“Alright, I’ll take you back to your room,” the pretty boy pulled her up, wrapped his arm around her waist, and led her out. “You should stay low-key for a while. I’ll buy you a game console. You can play by yourself or with your girlfriends; just don’t show up in front of him.”

The next day.

Yaen Chi went out in the afternoon, still headed to the casino.

The pretty boy didn’t dare interfere, so he sent bodyguards to follow him and didn’t need them to report back.

Yaen Chi changed several casinos, still leaving the winnings behind on the spot.

At midnight, he returned to the same place as the previous night.

The bodyguards didn’t follow him inside, and Yaen Chi went straight to the second floor. The man in the suit who invited him yesterday was standing there waiting, politely inviting him to a suite.

Yaen Chi immediately noticed a fish tank covering half a wall. The type of fish wasn’t surprising; the colorful lights resembled the flashing signs outside, looking gaudy and eye-catching.

“Here, huh?”

The man walked over from the bar, holding two glasses of wine, and handed one to Yaen Chi, speaking as if seeing an old friend, “Try this, see if you like the taste.”

Yaen Chi glanced at him, took the drink, and gulped it down.

The man laughed, “Not afraid I’ll poison you?”

“If I dare come here alone, why would I fear poison?” Yaen Chi wiped his mouth, “I’d recognize you even if you turned to ashes.”

He spoke each word clearly, “Dark Snake.”
