“Pung! Hahaha! Jin Luoluo, after playing for so long, I finally won a hand! Hurry up and pay me, pay me…”
Muyun was overjoyed. She had always been the biggest loser at the mahjong table. After more than a dozen rounds without a single win, she had already lost several hundred taels of silver to Jin Luoluo. At long last, she had finally managed to beat her once.
Jin Luoluo was even more irritated.
She had been holding the One, Two, and Three of Characters, yet somehow she’d absentmindedly thrown out the Three of Characters. What a brainless mistake.
Unlucky in love, and now unlucky at the gambling table too.
It was all that cripple’s fault. Why did he have to call her name?
“This is all your fault! You made me lose. You have to compensate me.”
Jin Luoluo vented all her frustration on Xiao Luo.
Xiao Luo felt utterly innocent. A faint, helpless smile appeared in his gentle eyes. All he could do was soothe her temper.
“Don’t be upset. However much you lose, put it on my tab. I’ll pay for it.”
Jin Luoluo shamelessly pushed her luck.
“Of course you’ll pay. Not just this round, either. I’m in a bad mood now. If I lose again later, you’ll pay for that too.”
“All right, all right,” Xiao Luo agreed readily.
Although Jin Luoluo was blatantly taking advantage of him, he wasn’t the least bit unhappy. Instead, his eyes sparkled with quiet amusement.
“Your Highness, please use mine for now.”
Zhao Lin stepped in to relieve Xiao Luo of the awkward situation. She took out her own handkerchief and thoughtfully wiped Bulaya’s tears.
Even though Jin Luoluo had found someone to foot the bill, she still wasn’t happy.
She let out a huff and rubbed the mahjong tiles together as if they were Xiao Luo’s head.
I’ll rub this rotten scoundrel to death… rub this womanizing scoundrel to death…
Xiao Che discarded a Five of Bamboo.
“Jin Luoluo, you’re the one whose mind wasn’t on the game. You lost because you weren’t paying attention, and now you’re taking it out on someone else. Have you no shame?”
Since Xiao Che had only recently learned mahjong, he naturally lost the most at first.
But the more he played, the quicker he caught on. Gradually he mastered quite a few tricks of the game. He had even narrowly won a round earlier, making him even more enthusiastic about playing.
“Oh? You’re jealous? If someone willingly wants to be my personal treasury, that’s just proof of my charm.”
“I really am jealous,” Xiao Che snorted, half-serious and half-joking.
Yang Ruoyao’s expression darkened.
She felt that Xiao Che’s attitude toward Jin Luoluo had changed considerably. From time to time, he even displayed a man’s possessiveness toward her.
Their playful bickering made her uneasy.
She absolutely could not allow the two of them to have too many opportunities to interact.
Abruptly, she changed the subject.
“Miss Aya, is she planning to continue traveling with us?”
