Subsequently…

Naturally, Quan Rui didn’t explain himself. He simply tightened his grip on her hand and pulled her closer into an embrace.

“Argh!” Bai Ran gave a startled squeal. By the time she managed to react to the situation, she was already sitting on his lap!

He was sitting on the chair, and she was sitting on him!

This… This… This…

Bai Ran never expected the plot to twist so drastically and abruptly.

A moment later, after Bai Ran had calmed down, she began to struggle.

Just as this thought flashed through her mind, Quan Rui moved closer to her ear.

He muttered softly, “This is such a good opportunity. Those people have been bullying you your whole life. Don’t you want to teach them a lesson?”

Quan Rui’s whispered words sounded so seductive in Bai Ran’s ear.

Indeed, as an illegitimate daughter, she had often been bullied as a child.

She had endured the incessant bullying because she didn’t want to upset her mother; she wanted her to live peacefully.

But tonight…

Although Quan Rui was obnoxious, his offer was very tempting.

With a mirthful smile, Quan Rui watched the woman remain silent in his embrace. He then continued to tempt her, “If you win this round, I’ll help you look for your ring. I’ll also get someone to take you home. How does that sound?”

So, he was negotiating with her.

Even though they had only been acquainted for less than half an hour, Quan Rui felt he already understood her character very well.

If given an ample sense of security, she would be able to do all the things she enjoyed.

Quan Rui’s offer helped put Bai Ran at ease.

That’s when she finally realized that this invitation was a gamble.

“So… Are you saying I can place a bet, that I can bet money?”

Bai Ran raised her eyebrows high, and a plan suddenly formed in her mind.

…Mother’s severely ill, and father died under bizarre circumstances. I won’t be able to receive a single penny, because the sisters of the Jiang Family have cut off all means of support.

I haven’t graduated from university yet, and I’m broke.

So… If I can win this round of gambling and can keep the winnings, I won’t have to worry about my mother’s surgical fees anymore.

Besides, it’s just one round. I’m confident I can win.

Bai Ran might have forgotten to introduce herself, but her maternal grandfather was the renowned “king of gambling” in the Northern mafia.

As this thought crossed Bai Ran’s mind, she felt an immense wave of relief. A sly smile crossed her face as she turned around to look at Quan Rui. All of a sudden, she leaned back and hooked her arms around his neck. She then mimicked his behavior and moved closer to his ear before whispering, “I have an additional condition: I want half the winnings when we win.”

Bai Ran was making calculations based on wishful thinking. Little did she know that all gambling proceeds would go to charity.

Everything would be given to charity regardless of whether someone won or lost.

Quan Rui did not divulge this, however, and felt a little curious as he listened to Bai Ran speak.

Oh, so she’s a little lamb who’s hard up for cash.

“All right,” he replied in a calm and clear voice.

Money was not an issue for Quan Rui.

On the contrary, he was more interested in seeing what this cash-strapped little lamb would do to win at gambling.

Bai Ran clung to Quan Rui’s neck. Given how close their heads were, they appeared to be blissfully happy to outsiders.

….to all outsiders except Jiang Hao and Jiang Bangyuan, that is.

Jiang Hao was unaware of the incident that had taken place on the lawn earlier and was already taken aback when he saw Quan Rui lead Bai Ran into the house. Now, when he saw them behaving like this in public, he was even more puzzled.

Jiang Hao leaned closer to Jiang Bangyuan and asked, “Sis, what’s up with brother-in-law? A lot of people are looking at them. Are you going to let him disrespect you like this?”
