TFWYH – Chapter 449 Gambling Master

After returning to the inn, Ling Yue once again shut herself inside her room to work on her project proposal.

Tang Wan, meanwhile, changed into men’s clothing and went out with Ling Yu.

What Tang Wan didn’t expect was that Ling Yu actually brought her to a gambling house!

Tang Wan turned to look at her husband in shock.
“You want to gamble?”

Ling Yu’s eyes were full of amusement, yet he deliberately put on a disappointed expression.
“Is that not allowed?”

“Of course it’s allowed!” Tang Wan couldn’t stand seeing her handsome husband look unhappy. She immediately waved her hand grandly and declared, “Gamble however you like. If you lose it all, I’ll just earn more. No big deal!”

Ling Yu couldn’t hold back his laughter anymore. Smiling, he said, “You don’t even try to stop your husband from gambling. What virtue do I possess to have married such a good wife?”

“Hehe… naturally!”
If I don’t let you gamble, what if you get upset? What if you cry? What if you refuse to sleep with me?

So go ahead and gamble!

Thinking this, Tang Wan generously pulled out all the banknotes she carried and stuffed them into his hands.

“Even if you lose, Yue’er still has money. Husband, just enjoy yourself!”

Ling Yue (somewhere else): What did I ever do to deserve this?!

The young couple entered the gambling house. The place was thick with smoke and noise.

Some gamblers had already lost themselves in the game, while others were merely watching for excitement.

Ling Yu didn’t hide his skill. He led Tang Wan straight to a dice table where people were betting on big or small.

The dealer had just stopped shaking the dice cup and was shouting, “Place your bets! No more bets once it’s set!”

Gamblers crowded around the table, throwing silver onto either “big” or “small.”

Ling Yu calmly took out a one-hundred-tael banknote and tossed it directly onto Leopard—a bet that all three dice would match.

The entire table instantly fell silent.

Everyone stared at him as if he were insane.

Only the dealer suddenly lifted his head and stared at Ling Yu, his expression turning grim.

Ling Yu smiled faintly.
“Aren’t you going to open it?”

“Open it! Open it!” the gamblers shouted along.

The dealer shot Ling Yu a glare before lifting the dice cup.

“Three twos! Leopard wins all!”

A wave of wails erupted from the crowd.

Tang Wan, meanwhile, stood frozen. When she finally snapped out of it, she hurriedly pulled all the winnings toward herself.

“Hu—cousin, you’re amazing!” she said, giving Ling Yu a big thumbs-up.

“Don’t casually change my surname,” Ling Yu replied, though his gaze kept drifting toward the dealer.

Soon the dealer began shaking the dice again.

No one noticed except Tang Wan that Ling Yu’s ears were subtly moving in rhythm—just like the gambling masters shown in dramas.

Tang Wan: …

So her husband was actually a gambling expert?

The dealer stopped again and shouted, “Place your bets! Last chance!”

Gamblers hesitated before placing their wagers on big or small.

Ling Yu casually pushed forward all the money he had just won—again onto Leopard.

The gamblers stared at him.

Was this man truly skilled… or just showing off?

The dealer’s face turned green. Without saying a word, he lifted the dice cup.

Three sixes appeared.

Another chorus of miserable cries filled the hall.

Tang Wan nearly jumped with excitement as she swept the mountain of winnings back toward them.

…

Ling Yu didn’t only bet on Leopard. Over the next six or seven rounds, he also wagered on big or small.

Every single time—he won.

The gamblers quickly caught on. In the last few rounds, wherever Ling Yu placed his bet, everyone followed.

Guaranteed victory!

Before long, gold and silver piled up in front of Ling Yu like a small hill.

As for the dealer—his face had gone beyond merely dark. It was practically storm-black.
