Huo Sining, Gu Xu, Ouyang Jun, and a few others sat in the car, all looking utterly incredulous. "Did he really just go in like that? Without even a proper marriage proposal gift?" Huo Sining was completely stunned, mouth agape in disbelief. Ouyang Jun and Gu Xu were also holding back their laughter: "Huizi being so nervous , that Zhang Shuang seems quiet and unassuming, turns out she's quite something!" Qin Tian was shaking his head: "I seriously suspect Huizi is a masochist. You've all seen it, he was beaten so miserably by Zhang Shuang, and instead of being ashamed, he's proud of it. This guy used to be the type who'd pass through countless flowers unscathed, and who knew he'd be tamed by a woman ? I feel my worldview collapsing, I can hardly believe my eyes!" Huo Sining couldn't help but retort after hearing Qin Tian's words: "I disagree with you. Zhang Shuang is straightforward and genuine, not pretentious or delicate. She's a very real person, definitely different from the women Song Hui encountered before. He probably felt that the relationships with those women were all fake, so when he met Sister Shuang, he fell head over heels, and that's what you call true love!" Qin Tian felt as if he had taken a million emotional damage from Huo Sining's words, looking aggrieved and frustrated: "Alright, you're intentionally tormenting the singletons, aren't you? You and Xu Zi, Jun Zi and Miss Six of the Song Family, even Huizi is now off the market, while I'm the only one still single. Is it really okay for you all to flaunt your relationships right in front of me?" Huo Sining was amused by Qin Tian's deliberate cuteness, laughing uncontrollably, while beside him, Ouyang Jun patted Qin Tian's shoulder, speaking with earnestness: "Not to mock you, buddy, but if you want to find a girlfriend, you'd better try elementary school and kindergarten. With your timid demeanor, even the middle schoolers won't be interested in you; all you can do is raise one, find yourself a child bride!" "Get lost!" Qin Tian laughed angrily at Ouyang Jun, exclaiming, "I'm not as bad as you say, I'm at least better looking than you!" Huo Sining was amused too and suddenly thought of something, looking at Ouyang Jun and asking: "Speaking of which, Brother Junzi, how are things progressing between you and Miss Song Six? I only found out you two were dating last time when I accidentally bumped into you in S City. It's been so long; why haven't I heard any good news from you?" At the mention of this, Ouyang Jun's face broke into a wry smile: "I now understand Xu Zi's pain. If you women get competitive, you're even tougher than us men. My wife is more ambitious than you, sister-in-law, she's a total career fanatic, devoting herself entirely to the Song family's casino lately, and basically has no time to attend to me. Sigh, being the man behind a successful woman is truly arduous." Huo Sining couldn't help but chuckle at this, sympathetically looking at Ouyang Jun and shaking her head internally. Although Huo Sining hadn't interacted much with Song Chaoying, her first impression of Song Chaoying, from meeting her during the high seas gambling event, was of a refined and determined woman. Song Chaoying was undoubtedly a career-driven powerhouse who wouldn't give up easily until her goals were achieved. Ouyang Jun marrying such a wife might really mean facing many challenges. "By the way, last time I heard, Song Gambling King is planning to personally participate in the international gambling competition in Las Vegas at the end of the year. Song Chaoying asked if I wanted to go watch, and we could also visit Las Vegas. Are any of you going? If you are, I'll ask Song Chaoying to help get a few more tickets." While chatting, Ouyang Jun suddenly remembered something and asked. Upon hearing they could go to Las Vegas, Huo Sining's eyes immediately lit up: "Sure, definitely going! I haven't been to Las Vegas before. But hasn't Song Gambling King retired for years? Why has he suddenly decided to come back?" Ouyang Jun was also puzzled: "It's probably related to casino interests. If Song Gambling King himself is willing to break his retirement routine, it shows how important this competition is for their casino." Huo Sining nodded in agreement and didn't think much more of it. She was about to switch topics and ask about where he and Song Chaoying would settle after their marriage—in the Imperial Capital, S City, or Xiangjiang—but before she could speak, she spotted Song Hui walking out joyfully from the Zhang family's old mansion after being inside for less than half an hour, with the expressionless Zhang Shuang following behind. "So fast?" Ouyang Jun looked surprised and hurriedly rolled down the car window, "How did it go?" Song Hui smugly raised his chin at Ouyang Jun: "Do you even need to ask? With my handsome, charming, and dashing self personally taking action, is there anything I can't handle?" Huo Sining was a bit skeptical: "But, you didn't even bring a marriage proposal gift. Did Master Zhang readily agree to hand over his beloved granddaughter to you?" Song Hui's expression froze, while Zhang Shuang glanced at him like he was an idiot and said quietly: "Indeed, my grandpa almost hit him with the cane he held in his hand. This guy was quick on his feet and handed his ID card over to my grandpa." "What?" The four people in the car looked at each other in confusion. Handing over an ID card? What kind of trick was that? None of them understood Song Hui's intention. Song Hui awkwardly glanced at the group, his expression somewhat unnatural as he looked up at the sky: "Uh, nothing, um, the weather in the Imperial Capital seems nice today. Might even see some stars tonight." For Song Hui's stiff change of topic, Zhang Shuang showed no mercy: "He handed over the ID, saying he was caught off guard and couldn't prepare the bride price, but would pawn his ID with my grandpa and redeem it once he got the gifts ready!" Thɪs chapter is updated by novel-fire.net "Hahaha! That's way too foolish!" Everyone in the car burst into laughter, pointing at the ridiculous Song Hui, all of them laughing till they were short of breath. Being exposed by Zhang Shuang, Song Hui felt a bit awkward, but to save face in front of everyone, he kept his cool, wearing a proud expression and said: "Foolish or not, her grandpa has accepted my ID, and once I get the gifts ready, I'll redeem my wife and ID back!" Zhang Shuang listened beside him, feeling exasperated, and lightly smacked Song Hui on the head: "My family is marrying off a daughter, not selling one! What are you redeeming?!" Song Hui, far from being angry at Zhang Shuang's action, nodded eagerly, seeming to enjoy the moment, flattering Zhang Shuang without restraint. "It's over, Huizi has truly fallen this time, probably beyond salvation!" Seeing this, Qin Tian felt provoked, so he simply closed his eyes, out of sight, out of mind.
