Chapter 479: The Person Who Dares to Meddle with Miss Lu

Her neck was slender and delicate, with a few strands of hair sticking to her neck.

Her appearance was of a modest traditional beauty—though not as outstanding as Nan Jiaojiao and others, she was blessed with a naturally fair, snow-like complexion which was quite appealing.

Her pallid face, naturally rosy lips, along with her clean air, meant that even in a place like Minglun, she remained untainted.

It was just that every time he saw her, she seemed to be in a difficult situation.

He realized she could also smile so brightly.

Yaen Chi’s lips slightly curled, moving his gaze away.

After dinner, the lights in the dining area were turned off, and several people moved to the living room to play cards.

Just as Yaen Chi picked up the cards, Bo Yanching pulled Nan Jiaojiao to the front, then moved a chair to sit slightly behind her.

He wasn’t planning to play but to strategize instead.

Lu Zhenzhen sat down unblinkingly on the opposite side.

Yaen Chi’s hand trembled, and his expression turned somewhat unnatural.

With both daunting figures seated, what was he doing standing there, and whom could he possibly beat?

Dare he even try!

What he held in his hand weren’t cards but a hot potato.

“Wanting, come here and play cards with them.”

Ye Wanting waved her hand, “I don’t know how.”

“That’s okay, I’ll sit behind you and guide you.

Let’s not play anything complicated, just fight the landlord; it’s perfect for three people.”

Yaen Chi got up to pull her, not touching her hand but instead gently supporting her wrist.

Ye Wanting, half-resisting and half-willingly, followed him.

But before they could return, Huo Jun suddenly squeezed in, plopping down in Yaen Chi’s seat.

“Need one more person?

I’ll fill in!”

Yaen Chi’s expression darkened.

Huo Linxi was breaking out in cold sweat, grabbing Huo Jun’s shoulder to lift him, “What are you sitting down for, get up!”

“I’ll just play a few rounds since you’re short of a person.”

Huo Jun apparently couldn’t read the room and quickly grabbed the cards, shuffling them adeptly.

“How about I deal the cards, ladies?”

Lu Zhenzhen’s mouth corner slightly curled, “You’re barely qualified to serve Miss Lu.

Since you’re so eager to deal, go ahead.”

Huo Jun’s face stiffened slightly, his lips twitched, but no words came out.

Lu Zhenzhen laughed again.

“Aren’t you supposed to handle crude remarks?

It’s just that you’re bad at reading the room.”

Huo Jun almost stood up.

Truly daunting.

No wonder Lu Zhenzhen had such a reputation for being demanding—he didn’t dare provoke her, forcing a smile he said, “Then I’ll just deal the cards, perhaps Brother Chi could…”

“Don’t,” Lu Zhenzhen looked up, her smile vanishing instantly, not concealing the sharpness in her tone, “Did I mock you or bully you, how dare you try to avoid me?”

“No, I wouldn’t dare,” Huo Jun glanced flickeringly, turning to Huo Linxi for help, but Huo Linxi directly ignored it.

Lu Zhenzhen asked Yaen Chi, “Brother Chi, give me a cigarette.”

Yaen Chi handed her a cigarette, “Smoke lightly, this one is strong.”

Lu Zhenzhen took the lighter along with it, lit it, and inhaled deeply, giving Huo Jun a cold sidelong glance, “Deal the cards, what are you spacing out for?”

Huo Jun hardly dared to sit, standing as he dealt the cards, carefully observing Lu Zhenzhen’s expression as he sat down.

Yaen Chi, pulling Ye Wanting, also sat down, aware that missing such drama would be foolish.

Huo Jun finally realized how difficult Lu Zhenzhen was to serve, not daring to win or even pick the cards assertively.

After dodging for a couple of rounds, Lu Zhenzhen slammed down the cards, “Are you going to play properly?”

“I…”

In her agitation, Lu Zhenzhen nearly touched Nan Jiaojiao’s hand with the lit cigarette, but Nan Jiaojiao tapped it away, “Keep it further away.”
