Chapter 520: What Perfume Are You Wearing?
by xennovelI don’t know if it’s because I dreamed of the Goddess of Fortune last night.
Xu Shaochen’s luck was extraordinarily good tonight.
After several hands, he had only lost one and had already won over 20 million.
“Open the cards.”
“Sorry, it’s a straight.”
“Damn, lost again.”
The young man opposite Xu Shaochen was a bit irritated, threw his cards on the table, and said to Xu Shaochen, “This is too small and boring. I’ve lost millions for so long. How about we raise the stakes?”
“What do you all think?”
Xu Shaochen looked at the others. He knew that guy across from him was about to lose his cool.
Here, losing one’s cool doesn’t mean losing a lot of money. After all, no one here cares about that much money.
It’s because he had lost too many times. Every time he only lost a few hundred thousand, and it was boring and irritating.
“I don’t mind. This handsome man seems to have good luck tonight.”
The woman beside Xu Shaochen smiled sweetly, blinked at him, and said in a soft voice.
Xu Shaochen returned a smile, “Maybe it’s because I’m sitting next to a goddess.”
Hearing this, the woman just smiled with a hint of shyness but didn’t say anything.
“I don’t mind either.”
“Then let’s raise the stakes. This is getting quite boring.”
The others echoed, expressing no objections. After all, raising the stakes made the game more exciting.
Those who come here are seeking thrills because no one believes they’ll strike it rich or get ruined by this.
“Alright, deal the cards.”
Xu Shaochen’s luck was still great; he mostly lost small amounts and won big. Sometimes, he even won several times in a row.
If Xu Shaochen wasn’t so aware, he’d think he was cheating.
Each hand quickly escalated to tens of millions, then to hundreds of millions, and even billions.
In the middle of the game, the two young men and the middle-aged woman had already left the table, merely watching from the side.
At the main table, only Xu Shaochen, the jeans-clad woman, and the young man in the silver-white suit remained.
As the stakes grew larger, the crowd surrounding them increased.
At first, the young man in the silver-white suit was just a bit irritated, but as he lost more money, he started to get angry.
It was basically only him losing. In just half an hour, he had already lost more than a billion.
For his family, that’s nothing, but for him, it wasn’t a small amount.
“Damn it!”
He lost again. The young man in the silver-white suit cursed and directly threw his cards at the jeans-clad woman.
“Bitch! Are you two ganging up on me? Are you cheating? Why else would I be the only one losing!”
“If you can’t afford to play, don’t. Who’s cheating? All these people are watching.”
The jeans-clad woman was furious after being hit with the cards, standing up to argue with the young man.
The young man coldly glanced at the woman and then looked at Xu Shaochen, “Kid, I suspect you’re cheating. You’ve been winning alone all night. Is the Goddess of Fortune your mother?”
“The way you’re freaking out is just like an unreasonable shrew. If you can’t afford to play, don’t come out. Why make a fool of yourself?”
Xu Shaochen shook his head, packed his chips into a bag, and prepared to leave.
“Stop! You’re not allowed to leave!”
Seeing that Xu Shaochen directly ignored him, the young man in the silver-white suit shouted angrily and quickly stepped forward, reaching out to grab Xu Shaochen’s shoulder.
The others took a few steps back when they saw this, displaying expressions of eager anticipation.
“Looking for trouble, huh?”
Xu Shaochen paused, grabbed the young man in the silver-white suit’s wrist, and twisted it.
“Crack!”
“Ahhh!”
A crisp sound accompanied by a scream. The young man’s face turned pale, his features contorting in pain.
“Bang!”
Xu Shaochen turned around and kicked him in the stomach, sending him flying.
“If you’re going to talk, talk. Don’t start grabbing people. You can’t afford the consequences.”
Xu Shaochen looked down at the young man and said calmly.
Hiss——
Everyone gasped and looked at Xu Shaochen in disbelief. Nobody expected him to be so skilled.
“Handsome, you better leave quickly. That guy has a powerful background, and you’ll be in big trouble.”
The jeans-clad woman walked up to Xu Shaochen and kindly reminded him.
Xu Shaochen smiled slightly, “May I know your name, Miss?”
The woman was stunned. She didn’t expect Xu Shaochen to still have the mood to flirt, “An Miaozhu.”
“You have a light milky scent on you. What perfume are you wearing? It smells really nice. I was thinking of getting it for my girlfriend.”
Xu Shaochen, without a care, engaged in a casual conversation with An Miaozhu about perfumes, ignoring the young man in the silver-white suit who lay on the ground screaming.
An Miaozhu smiled teasingly, her cheeks slightly flushed. She leaned in close to Xu Shaochen’s ear and whispered softly, “My daughter just turned seven months old.”
Xu Shaochen was taken aback, quickly responding, “Sorry, my apologies, I’ve been rude.”
He didn’t expect that the milky scent was naturally from the woman herself.
“It’s fine. If you are still safe later, I wouldn’t mind inviting you to my room to smell all you want. My husband isn’t on the boat tonight. I wouldn’t mind having a little something beyond friendship with you.”
As she finished speaking, An Miaozhu stuck out her tongue and licked Xu Shaochen’s ear, giving him a seductive smile that was hard to resist.
Xu Shaochen shuddered. A young wife still nursing her child… It was an offer hard to refuse. Tonight, he might just have to make this flirtation more than friendly.
“What’s going on here?”
The security guards rushed over in a hurry.
Seeing the young man in the silver-white suit on the ground, the leader’s face turned pale. He quickly stepped forward to help him up.
“Young Master Chen, are you alright?”
“Get lost!”
The young man pushed away the bodyguard, swaying as he steadied himself. He pointed at Xu Shaochen and said through gritted teeth:
“You’ve got guts. You dared to hit me, Chen Zihao. You’re the first, and you’ll be the last!”
Wow! As his words echoed, everyone’s expression changed dramatically, and the room buzzed with chatter.
“Chen Zihao, the eldest young master of the Chen Family in Macau.”
“So it’s him! That young man is in big trouble now.”
“The Chen Family from Macau…”
An Miaozhu said to Xu Shaochen, “I hope you stay safe, otherwise I might have a lonely night.”
“Don’t worry. To spare you from loneliness tonight, I’ll deal with him quickly.” Xu Shaochen replied with a carefree tone, patting An Miaozhu on her full, rounded hip.
An Miaozhu was stunned. She didn’t expect Xu Shaochen to still be so confident after learning about Chen Zihao’s identity.
