Chapter 21: Is a Straight Flush or a Bomb Bigger?

I last met Gu Tingshen eight years ago, when he went to the United States.

Back then, he was known as the crown prince of the circle, and I wasn't too shabby myself. My family had money, his had power, and to everyone, we were a match made in heaven.

Until tragedy struck my family, and I was knocked out and sold to Thailand by my uncle's family, I never thought I'd see him again in this lifetime.

My heart skipped a beat, and my steps became erratic, my front foot stepping on my back foot, causing me to collide into Cheng Yu.

My panic was written all over my face.

He steadied me, glanced inside following my gaze, "Ran into a lover? Why so flustered?"

"Stop talking rubbish!"

I was afraid that our commotion would alert Gu Tingshen, so after cutting him off in a cold voice, I hurriedly urged him to leave.

Cheng Yu said nothing and let go of me, but the meaningful look he gave before turning away made me feel like he was on to something.
