It must have been then that those two were having an affair, secretly carrying on for so many years, making a cuckold of my brother all this time. Kang Jinxian was indignant. That Bai Ran was indeed despicable, monopolizing the status of Lady Yun for so many years. It was hard enough that she had been kicked out, yet she turned around and was picked up by an even better man. Was Ning Qinglin blind? What was so good about Bai Ran, a promiscuous, twice-married old woman with a bastard child? While she was feeling miserable inside, He An pointed to the lively crowd not far away and said, "It looks like they’re playing a game, shall we go take a look?" He An was not one to stay still; wherever there was excitement, there he would go. Kang Jinxian, with her sharp eyes, spotted Ji Yunya and Ye Xiaoxiao in the crowd. She was courting death going over there. Ye Xiaoxiao had always been at odds with her, always finding ways to trouble her at school. Although the video of her and He An had been circulated in the school, and later suppressed by the Yun Family with money, if Ye Xiaoxiao were to bring it up again, where would she hide her face? There was also Ji Yunya. She needed to avoid direct confrontation with her and keep a low profile for now. "I’m not going. You can go if you want." He An stood up and really started heading over there. Kang Jinxian couldn’t help but grit her teeth in anger, clutching her stomach: "Ouch..." He An immediately ran back in a nervous fluster: "What’s wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" Kang Jinxian said with a pale face: "It seems like I’ve hurt my baby, could you get me a glass of water?" He An immediately scrambled to get Kang Jinxian water. Kang Jinxian watched with cold eyes and suddenly sneered to herself. Ye Xiaoxiao surely did not have the patience to play such a boring game. What was she up to then? Her gaze fell on Ji Yunya’s back. It was no secret that Ye Xiaoxiao liked Yan Song; getting updates about Yan Song’s recent activities wasn’t difficult. Recently, Yan Song had been close to Ji Yunya, and the overbearing Ye Xiaoxiao would never allow the man she liked to be close to another girl. It seemed she was deliberately targeting Ji Yunya. Without her needing to take action, someone else would deal with Ji Yunya, and she would enjoy watching the drama unfold. Before the third round started, Zhao Qianqian suddenly suggested, "Playing is too monotonous. How about we play something more thrilling?" Miss Fan asked enthusiastically, "What kind of thrill?" Zhao Qianqian said, "How about this, we set up three boxes, each containing different things. One is a safety box, one a surprise box, and one a danger box. The King can ask the loser to reach into a designated box. It’s all down to luck, but it could be dangerous." She winked as she spoke, as though the danger was nothing more than a scare. Miss Fan immediately clapped her hands: "That sounds fun, really fun." The timid Miss Zhang asked hesitantly, "What’s in the danger box?" Zhao Qianqian glanced at her sideways: "You agreed to the bet, you must accept the loss. If you’re scared, you can quit the game at any time." With so many people looking on, if she quit now, wouldn’t it prove she was a coward? She gave an embarrassed smile: "I’m not scared." The onlookers were all interested, watching eagerly. "Wait here for me, I’ll go prepare." With that, she left. Soon, a man in black followed behind her. This man was very unfamiliar, and everyone just assumed he was the Bai Family’s security. The man in black was holding three square boxes about one foot wide, placed them down separately. The boxes were tightly sealed, each with an oval hole about an inch long on the top, just big enough for a girl’s hand to fit through. Yet from the hole, it was pitch dark, and nothing could be seen clearly. These three boxes looked exactly the same from the outside; one couldn’t distinguish any difference, but the observant could tell them apart. Li Nan’s eyes flickered, and she gave Ye Xiaoxiao a subtle nod on the side. Ye Xiaoxiao curved her lips, standing there like a proud black swan. She glanced at Ji Yunya as if unintentionally, only to find those deep black eyes staring back at her with an almost amused look. Their depth was like that of an ancient, deep well, causing Ye Xiaoxiao’s heart to "thud" and she quickly averted her gaze. Yun Ya hooked her lips up slightly, her eyelashes casting a shadow as a trace of mockery flashed through her eyes.

She had played around in the Las Vegas casinos with Allen when she was thirteen. Allen had taught her plenty of tricks, so this kind of card game was child’s play to her.
