Chapter 72: She Feels Like Accepting the ChallengeTranslator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
All these years, they’d constantly been wondering what kind of woman would be good enough for their one-and-only Brother Bao…
And it turned out that… it was a girl who had just graduated from high school!
How to describe what we’re feeling now…?
Actually, they could not describe the feeling that they had right now.
After they had the meal, the impression they had of his wife was that, besides being young, she was quiet and dutiful.
Sitting quietly by his side, she was so petite, quiet, and submissive that one could not help feeling fond of her.
When Gong Zeye suggested a card game after dinner, she was slightly taken aback.
Card game?
Can these men, cream of the crop, and each armed with such an angelic look, know how to play cards like an average folk?
“What is it?” The man looked at her.
“Nothing much.” Forcing back the shock inside her, she’d responded with a sweet smile.
So the six guys decided to split into two teams.
Just when she was about to excuse herself from their game and return to her room, the man pulled her into his lap and asked, “Do you know how to play dou dizhu 1?”
Intuitively, she reacted, “Yes.”
“You play with them.”
“…”
Maybe I should have said ‘No’!
“I’ll take care of all your losses, and you can keep whatever you win as pocket money.”
His subsequent words gave her a great morale boost. She was wide alert instantly.
Trying to suppress the excitement in her heart, she said petulantly, “Hubby, I’m not good with this game. You have to help me out.”
“Okay.”
The others were speechless.
Why did they get a feeling that they were being force-fed with too much lovey-doveyness somehow?

Initially, she had reckoned that this would be an easy win, but it turned out that she was down on her luck today. Every card that she picked was so bad that no amount of I.Q. could help her win the game.
When the best card she picked turned out to be “king” yet again, she really wanted to throw in the towel.
What is this?!
Knowing that the boys went for high stakes in their games, she had wanted to reap some big wins from them. Little did she expect her cards to be lousy.
This is too much!
In fact, the cards she drew were so bad that even the man had to shake his head.
Besides her, Gong Zeye had a terrible hand at the games tonight as well. His cards were as equally bad as hers, and he lost every game.
“It’s so terrible, I’m not playing anymore!” He pushed away the card and refused to continue.
Mu Huan immediately followed suit. “Hubby, I don’t want to play either…”
He could see that she was badly affected by her bad luck today so he agreed. Caressing her head, he said to her, “Alright, we’ll stop playing.”
Once they stopped their game, the group started to chat about the stock market and shares.
She was not interested at all and wanted to leave, but the man showed no intention of letting go of her.
She could tell that he wanted her to mingle with his friends. Hence, she stayed put in his arms and would chip in to their conversation occasionally.
Until…
“WTF, I’m gonna put up a reward! Whoever can help me to defeat this challenger will get a reward from me, 100,000 yuan!” After Gong Zeye stopped his card game, he went to play video games on his cell phone instead. Unfortunately, he met a formidable player who was able to take him down time after time. His series of misfortunate with his games tonight fully exposed his tuhao nature.

When she saw what game he was playing, her eyes sparkled at once.
She was invincible in this game!
A hundred thousand yuan!
This is so tempting…
Although she was tempted, she knew that playing video games would not qualify as a sign of a dutiful wife.
But, still…
A hundred thousand yuan was a sum that would not come by easily. She would need to accept countless assignments before she could hit this number. Besides, she was terribly poor now! Very poor, in fact!
She fidgeted restlessly on his lap as she wrestled with her thoughts.
“What happened?” he asked, dipping his head.
“I… I…”
She really wanted to accept this challenge!
