Yuanya gives him a dejected look, "I'm not betting with you."
Lan Xiu chuckles and leans down to kiss her cheek.
"Sleep well, darling. Goodnight."
His voice is clear and soft in the still night.
Yuanya nods, lets him hold her, and buries her face into his robust chest, "Goodnight..."
The next day.
In the study, Lan Xiu is furious, and even the housekeeper and two maids standing at the door could hear his outburst.
"Damn Duan Jingwen, daring to play this game with me!"
Fei Zi spins his eyes, meekly saying, "How did Duan Jingwen get the news...it shouldn't have happened..."
"Since we can't catch him off guard, this strategy is a waste now."
Lan Xiu raises an eyebrow contemptuously, yet his tone remains chillingly cold, "Does he think that by ruining this plan, I am helpless against him?"
"Boss, maybe we should just fight with him fair and square, whoever has more money gets to call the shots!"
Lan Xiu chuckles, "Leave this big fool to Young Master Duan."
