husband from hell

Chapter 170 Hongfu Casino
"Cheng Ke..."

The words are still in my ears: "I believe in you as much as I believe in myself."

"I will never betray you."

Cheng Ke didn't say anything, Taohua turned to look at Wei Qiancheng with big eyes, that expression seemed to be frozen.

Suddenly a memory appeared in front of my eyes...

The sky is full of stars, exactly like what Cheng Ke and I saw in Xichuan.

The one sitting with Cheng Ke was replaced by Calamus.

She was sitting in the blooming calamus flowers, her beautiful face matched the calamus flowers, a pair of thin white feet soaked in the clear river water, she was like a flower growing out of a river.

"You always don't like to talk, why?" Calamus looked at Cheng Ke, smiling with big eyes.

"There's nothing to say." Cheng Ke said flatly, "No one told me either."

"You can tell me." Calamus's cherry lips were dazzling red: "I like to listen to you, no matter what you say."

Cheng Ke was slightly moved: "Why?"

"You have a nice voice, and you're a pretty person." Calamus fiddled with the water with one pair of feet, "It's just that I always feel that I'm far away from you..."

"It's not too far." Cheng Ke's eyes also looked at the stars all over the sky: "It's just a Wei Changsheng."

"I hope he won't live forever." Calamus's smile gradually froze: "I'm tired of such days."

Cheng Ke didn't speak, but I knew what was in his heart.

Why is he tireless?
He has always disliked lying.

"I said, have you ever been to Tanshen Town?" Calamus stirred up the starlight reflection in the river by himself: "There are a lot of fireflies there, you can catch them for me, put them in the bedroom, and watch the fireflies , I will definitely have the most beautiful dream..."

"What about Wei Changsheng?" Cheng Ke suddenly interrupted Calamus: "He seems to be treating you..."

"That's his business." Calamus's voice suddenly cooled down: "That's enough, when we are with you, don't mention him."

Cheng Ke didn't go on, he cherished Calamus beyond words.

The world is so big, he only has one her.

"But..." Calamus quickly put aside this unpleasantness: "You said, we will grow old and become old men and old ladies, will you still be willing to catch fireflies for me?"

"As long as I can catch it, as long as you like it." Cheng Ke said lightly: "I want it anytime."

Calamus tilted his head, resting his chin, looking at Cheng Ke's expression, full of joy: "I am very lucky, and I hope to be lucky forever."

Cheng Keying frowned, but immediately relaxed it again.

Even if it's a dream, as long as you don't wake up.

It's good to keep doing this.

Cheng Ke looked sideways at the soft and bright cherry lips of Calamus, and wanted to lower his head to kiss them, but at this moment, Wei Qiancheng's voice was inappropriate: "Is the water cool?"

Cheng Ke looked at Calamus, and Calamus's smile froze for a moment, but he stood up immediately. A new smile opened to Wei Qiancheng: "Why did you come? I'm impatient waiting for you."

Cheng Ke also stood up, expressionless, but felt a little pain in his heart.

"It's very annoying." Wei Qiancheng was the same as last time, with an aura of three and a half dollars: "I always get dragged down."

I was a little taken aback, Wei Qiancheng let Chang Pu and Cheng Ke be together often?Did he trust the two of them to this extent?

Did he not expect it, or did he not believe it?
"It's hard work for you to stay with her. Next time, I will sing the song that Calamus likes." Wei Qiancheng suddenly looked at Cheng Ke and smiled, and Danfeng's eyes narrowed into a beautiful arc: "She taught you that. The one about swinging."

Cheng Ke didn't nod or shake his head, but just stood there numbly, as if he didn't hear.

"He's shy." Calamus smiled sweetly at Wei Qiancheng, and said coquettishly, "Leng, go back!"

Calamus and Wei Qiancheng walked in front of Cheng Ke amidst the starlight, like a pair of lovers.

It's okay, I heard Cheng Ke say to himself, I can wait.

Will always wait until that day.

"I said..." Wei Qiancheng's voice suddenly came from afar: "I don't know why, but the two of you seem to be a good match."

"What a joke..."

Calamus's voice was like a needle piercing into Cheng Ke's ear: "What kind of joke..."

When he came back to his senses, Cheng Ke was still looking at me blankly, like a child who didn't know what he had done wrong.

A little helpless, a little disbelief, a little sad.

I felt a pain in my heart, I broke away from Wei Qiancheng and wanted to go there, but Wei Qiancheng dragged me back, Danfeng looked at Cheng Ke with a little provocation in his eyes: "Unfortunately, you can't remember, you owe me a debt."

No doubt he was talking about that betrayal.

Cheng Ke's thin lips curled up, and he said calmly: "That's right, I don't remember. So now, I don't feel guilty at all."

His big peach blossom eyes just looked at me.

I lowered my head, and with the hand that was branded as a tortoise, I used all my strength to pull Wei Qiancheng's slender fingers off my wrist, without any nostalgia.

Wei Qiancheng stared at his hand that was pulled down by me, his red lips were slightly pulled unnaturally, and his voice was cool: "Don't force so hard, you will hurt..."

I didn't answer. I turned around and looked at Cheng Ke, not knowing what to say: "I just didn't expect him to be here. What I was looking for was Ah Jiu. The reason why I didn't tell you was because of that Body……"

"Yeah." Cheng Ke came over, took my hand that pulled Wei Qiancheng away, and said in a low voice: "No matter what it is, even if you lie to me, as long as you tell me, I will believe everything."

My heart suddenly fell.

Then, Cheng Ke raised his head, looked at Wei Qiancheng, his hands were slightly cloudy, it was so cold!

Wei Qiancheng stared at his hands, and put on a "happy" smile.

I hurriedly said, "Cheng Ke, let's go..."

Wei Qiancheng seemed a little unwilling, and raised his voice: "Cheng Ke, you should let go. You know, who is better for her to be with. Now, the only one who can protect her is me."

"This is between me and her." Cheng Ke turned around and said, "You don't have to worry about it."

"Not necessarily," Wei Qiancheng seemed to be determined to win this fight, "You said you could protect her, but what about the brand on her hand?"

"That tortoise is your symbol, you still come to ask me?" Cheng Ke smiled instead of anger: "I also want to ask you clearly, who is that person at the reception!"

"Don't let the old things happen again!" Wei Qiancheng said to him, "Don't you want the same thing like Calamus to happen to Lu Qiao?"

Cheng Ke's eyes sank: "What is it?"

"Don't remember? Then let me tell you," Wei Qiancheng suddenly smiled, and the smile was evil: "When Calamus died, he said he regretted it."

Cheng Ke's peach blossom eyes flashed for a moment: "Regret?"

"I regret the promise I made with you, I regret what fireflies I saw with you." Wei Qiancheng tilted his head: "I regret that she misunderstood me, and I regret that she chose you after all..."

Cheng Ke's body trembled slightly.

"Perhaps, when you think about it, it will be more interesting." Wei Qiancheng said: "Calamus died unexpectedly, do you wish that Lu Qiao would also die in your 'protection'? So, you might as well let go and let me... "

Cheng Ke didn't say anything, just let go of my hand lightly, raised a cloud of Yin Qi heavily, and was about to hit Wei Qiancheng!

Wei Qiancheng turned sideways to avoid it, and put his hands on Cheng Ke's body: "Remember, who did the blood on the wedding dress splash on!"

As soon as the Yin Qi collided, the table beside the two of them trembled slightly, and the plates and bowls on it jingled.

I knew that Cheng Ke tried his best when he fought with Wei Qiancheng, so he hurriedly said to Cheng Ke: "Forget it, what is there to fight with him? Next time..."

Cheng Ke's eyes turned cold: "Accidental? Why should the things he did be blamed on you!"

Wei Qiancheng smiled slightly and said, "Only the state officials are allowed to set fires, and the common people are not allowed to light lamps. You are thinking about calamus, so why don't you talk about it? She is just talking to me..."

Cheng Ke's whole body was covered with a layer of anger, and he said in a deep voice, "It's just?"

Wei Qiancheng narrowed his phoenix eyes: "It's just that it's the same as Iris when you were!"

"Wei Qiancheng, I don't want you guys to fight anymore!" I got anxious and stood in front of Wei Qiancheng: "It's not worth it at all!"

Wei Qiancheng withdrew his hand, and pulled his red lips in an evil arc: "Then, for your sake."

"Wei Qiancheng." Cheng Ke's whole body is like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, with a menacing aura: "I don't care about the past, I only care about the present."

"I can wait, she will always come back," Wei Qiancheng added, as if unwilling, "It's the same as before, it's mine, it's mine."

"Wei Qiancheng, you are really pitiful." Cheng Ke was about to be pushed out by me, but he stopped and stared at him: "It's obviously not yours, why do you have to force it?"

"How do you know it's not mine?" Wei Qiancheng smiled, but the smile made people feel bitter: "You just have better luck than me..."

"Luck is good enough." Cheng Ke narrowed his peach blossom eyes: "Many things are predestined. I advise you to see clearly what kind of person you are."

"Should someone like me be betrayed?" Wei Qiancheng looked up at Cheng Ke and me, "It's still betrayal again and again."

"I don't know." Cheng Ke said calmly, "I don't want to know either."

Eleven did not expect such a result, and added fuel to the fire with a face full of disbelief: "Soldiers without blood? Big sister, you are so powerful, even if you are on two boats, you still messed up these two such good men." Submissive, what kind of trick is this, can you pass it on to me? This kind of betrayal..."

Cheng Ke's cold eyes turned to look at Eleven: "I advise you, spare your life."

Eleven stuck out his tongue, and said with a smile: "I'll take you to find Ah Jiu, how about it? If it's later, I guess it won't work."

Cheng Ke frowned and looked at me.

I hurriedly asked, "Where is she?"

"Go." Eleven turned around and led us out.

When I was about to go out, I couldn't help but look back at Wei Qiancheng.

He stood alone under the dim light like a child who had been abandoned by someone.

"It's okay." Noticing my gaze, Wei Qiancheng was startled, his beautiful red lips curled up, but he struggled to smile: "Anyway, when it comes to loneliness, I'm used to it."

I pursed my lips, pretended not to hear, and followed Cheng Ke out.

My heart felt inexplicably uncomfortable, although I had no position to feel uncomfortable.

As soon as he went out, Ah Jiu was standing outside the door, his face pale.

I don't know if she saw what happened in the house, and I don't know if what Eleven did has anything to do with her.

Ah Jiu seemed to have never seen me at all, Jianshui Qiutong looked at Cheng Ke's eyes, a little flustered, a little happy, and a little guilty, and said complicatedly: "You... came in person? You Don't be angry with me? It's because I didn't protect this body well..."

Cheng Ke took out the jade rhino horn from my hand, threw it lightly into Ah Jiu's hand, and said coolly, "I can do it myself."

Ah Jiu caught it, and looked up at Cheng Ke, as if he had a thousand words, but he didn't say anything. When Cheng Ke held my hand and turned around, Ah Jiu said something in a low voice :"Sorry……"

Cheng Ke didn't answer.

Turning the corner of the street, the pitch black was facing a gust of wind, Cheng Ke suddenly turned around, and stretched out his hand to wrap me in his arms.

"I...I'm not cold..." My heart jumped up: "What happened just now..."

"I will be afraid of losing." Cheng Ke said in a low voice: "Seeing you and him... even if my heart can't beat anymore, it still hurts."

"I'm here, I'll always be here." I said hastily, "I'm just..."

"You don't need to say anything, you don't need to say anything." Cheng Ke's voice was very depressed, and he hugged me even tighter, as if he was afraid that I would slip away: "Even if one day, you really lie to me, as long as you are willing If you lie to me, I'll be very happy... because at least, I'm worth your perfunctory."

My heart suddenly ached, and I suddenly thought, if I saw Cheng Ke and Calamus kissing each other like that, would I believe in myself unconditionally like Cheng Ke?

If you think about it differently... I don't know if I can do what Cheng Ke does.

"I'm sure, I won't make you sad again." I wrapped my arms around Cheng Ke's thin waist, my nose was a little sore: "I promise."

"Well," Cheng Ke laughed self-deprecatingly, his voice was still deep, making people feel distressed: "I believe it, because of me, only you."

Yes, now, the world is so big, he only has one me.

In any case, I can't let him get hurt again.

Sighing, I was still about to speak, when I suddenly saw a figure in front of me walking on tiptoe along the street, and I recognized that hurried appearance immediately: "Second Grandpa?"

Cheng Ke frowned, turned his head, and sure enough, he saw the second grandfather, just like when he bought Chongli last time, walking forward furtively. Even though the street was deserted, he still looked like he was afraid of being seen , looked left and right, with an unnatural expression.

"Follow me and take a look." Cheng Ke held my hand tightly: "Look at Second Grandpa, what kind of secret does Second Grandpa have?"

My heart tightened, I nodded and followed.

The second grandpa's figure was originally considered tall, but he didn't know whether it was because of the cold or nervousness, so he became hunched up, and he didn't seem to be afraid of anything like usual, he was a different person from usual.

He walked through the main street of Jinyuli, spotted a small doorway, and carefully slipped in through it.

There are two lanterns hanging on the small doorway, glowing dimly in the night, like a haunted house in the old version of Liaozhai.

What is this place?
After entering, I saw a small courtyard house with bright lights. Through the window, I could see the figures inside, and they were noisy. I didn't know what was going on. The figure of the second grandpa walked into the main room with ease. Inside, we followed suit.

When I went in, I saw the sound of playing cards. It turned out that it was a chess and card room.

The small and big chess and card room is full of people, some are fighting landlords, some are playing mahjong, some are throwing dice, and playing Pai Gow. As long as you want Chinese-style gambling, this place can be regarded as everything.

There is also a very old plaque hanging on the wall of the chess and card room, with a few large characters "Hongfu Casino" written on it.

If it was outside, it would be against the law to gamble together, and they might be arrested by the public security bureau at any time, but this place, after all, is unusual, it is Jinyuli, the site of ghost raisers, so it is probably possible to open up gambling.

I searched for the figure of the second grandpa in the crowd, and saw that the second grandpa joined a table of mahjong and happily piled up the "Great Wall", so I hurriedly dragged Cheng Ke over and carefully hid behind the crowd.

Those who fought against the second grandpa were three gorgeous old ladies.

Although the three old ladies are all over sixty, they still have fashionable hairstyles and heavy makeup on their faces. They are obviously very familiar with the second grandfather. Hit the second grandpa: "Crazy Yang, why are you here so late? It's a deal, I've been waiting for you for so long!"

"There's something that's delayed!" The second grandfather said quickly, "I'm not going to be an example, I'm not going to be an example!"

"Trick the devil, lose to the end," another old lady said with a giggle, "Look, whoever organizes it loses!"

The second grandpa was quite old and unscrupulous, and even touched the old lady's hand: "I don't believe in this evil, I see today if I don't take all the money I lost to you a while ago!"

The second grandpa is still a frequent visitor here!
Cheng Ke and I looked at each other, then hid behind the crowd to watch.

I saw that the second grandpa's luck was exactly as those old ladies said, it was not very good, and after a few rounds of cards, he lost all the chips he exchanged, which was really horrible.

I couldn't help but wonder secretly, when did the second grandpa get into this habit?Could it be that the last time he took the risk and went to the mall to do business was because he wanted to pay off his gambling debts?
Those secrets of his... Could it be related to gambling?
