Chapter 1271: Chapter 723 Just a Puppet_2 Chapter 1271: Chapter 723 Just a Puppet_2 Yes, he was acting again.

Wasn’t this just helping Ling Yu buy time?

Otherwise, he wouldn’t bother with so much trouble.

He didn’t want to say another word to the woman.

Because he really felt it was bad luck.

With everything being so jinxed, why talk so much?

He was truly afraid she would jinx him to death.

Thinking about this, the bald man was already shivering.

After a while, the woman’s face showed no expression.

But after a moment, she chillingly said,
“Have I not made my choice clear to you? Don’t you have a clue? I never wanted to stay by your side from the start.”

“It was you who forcefully kept me by your side, so now I am just a puppet being manipulated by you all.”

“I don’t have my own choices. Do whatever you want, I am already very numb.”

It was just a verbal statement.

But there was still hope in her heart.

She still hoped Qin Yuan would win.

As long as Qin Yuan won, there would be no issues.

She could then be with her daughter in peace, not fearing being thrown into the sea by the bald man.

Moments later, the woman said earnestly again,
“I don’t even want to resist anymore, because I’m just a weak woman. Does my resistance make any difference? It’s utterly futile.”

“Since it’s all futile, why should I bother fighting it here, I might as well just follow your orders.”

“If I don’t follow your orders, perhaps you’ll just keep rambling on here, go on with your gambling.”

The bald man was somewhat surprised.

What’s with this woman?

Has she completely given up?

Has she given up struggling?

Or is she intending to doom them all?

This is the most venomous heart of a woman.

Ling Yu thought they were just too noisy.

Constantly babbling right here.

Never stopping for a moment.

Actually, he knew the bald man was helping him.

But he still felt somewhat annoyed.

Not even allowed to rest a bit.

After a while, the woman’s expression became even more numb.

“If you want to fight, just fight. It’s not much of my concern. I’m just letting you manipulate me.”

“Don’t ask for my opinion again in the future. If I say I don’t want you to gamble, would you stop?”

“If I say I don’t want to stay by your side, would you let me go? Do I have any say in matters?”

Where was there any wrong in what she said?

It was just the plain truth.

It was just touching the bald man’s sore spot, that’s why his expression was such.

Interesting.

But she didn’t want to say anything more.

The woman was ready to disconnect.

But suddenly thought of something else and added,
“I don’t even have a say, isn’t your question redundant? Don’t you find your question ridiculous?”

She originally had no say.

She was just being manipulated by them here.

So the bald man asking this was indeed a joke.

Arage rose within the bald man.

Just as he was about to hit the woman, Qin Yuan held him back.

Qin Yuan’s face was full of defiance.

“So, you still want to hit her now, but mind you, she might be my woman in the future. Isn’t it inappropriate for you to start now?”

“If you really have to do it, wait until we finish our bet. We haven’t made the bet yet.”

“Do you just want to show off your authority? Isn’t that a bit ridiculous? Did you ask me if you could show off?”

The answer was, of course, very clear.

How could he possibly let the bald man have his way?

That wasn’t going to happen.

The bald man frowned and immediately said,
“Shut your mouth, it’s not your turn to speak here, and moreover, I wasn’t planning to hit this woman.”

“I was just going to rub her head with my hand, after all, it’s a touch of love. Don’t you even understand that?”

“You must have never been in love, having never been in love, what right do you have to compete with me for a woman here?”

The bald man looked down on Qin Yuan with contempt.

Even looking at Qin Yuan from a high and mighty position.

Qin Yuan just scoffed.

He hadn’t paid any attention to Baldy’s drama.

After a while, Qin Yuan immediately said,
“What does this have to do with whether or not I’ve been in love? Do you really need to use that to attack me? Just save it.”

“Besides, I just want to play this game with you, I just want to keep this woman by my side; I know you’re trying to buy time for Ling Yu.”

“I’ve been fully aware, I just didn’t say anything at first, but now I can’t hold back anymore.”

He indeed couldn’t hold back.

How could he not mention Baldy?

If he didn’t, he would be even more presumptuous.

Baldy frowned slightly.

He didn’t expect to be discovered so quickly.

So what if he was discovered?

Even if he was found out, he couldn’t admit it.

So, Baldy boldly said,
“What on earth are you talking about? I just want to keep my girl by my side.”

“What does this have to do with me buying time? I’m definitely not here to buy time.”

“I’ve been serious in talking to you from the beginning; I haven’t delayed at all.”

He was indeed being serious in the conversation.

He wasn’t just talking nonsense.

It’s just a serious form of buying time.

Hearing this, Qin Yuan scoffed again.

But he also turned his gaze towards Ling Yu.

He actually wanted to see how long Ling Yu could last.

At that moment, the woman finally understood why Baldy was doing this.

So, he was here to help Ling Yu buy time.

She thought it was something else.

Moments later, Qin Yuan immediately said,
“Ling Yu, it seems you think you can’t beat me anymore, you must have already rested, haven’t you? You’re just afraid you can’t beat me.”

“But is this something you can just be afraid of? Even if you keep being scared, you still won’t beat me.”

“I know reverse psychology won’t work on you, so this isn’t it; I’m just telling it like it is.”

To Baldy, it definitely was reverse psychology.

But not for Ling Yu.

After all, this trick wouldn’t work on Ling Yu.

Ling Yu definitely wouldn’t take his words seriously.

Maybe he wouldn’t even react at all.

Shan Ge also stopped being silent and immediately looked at Qin Yuan.

“Kid, why do you insist he keep playing against you right now? Can’t you and Baldy play a round of chess?”

“It’s not necessary to race against Ling Yu right now, there’s plenty of time, and we’re not in a rush.”

“Or are you saying you need a little time to improve your chess skills? If you want, that’s also fine.”

They were also willing to give Qin Yuan some time to improve his chess skills.

But Qin Yuan just scoffed again.

He didn’t take it seriously at all.

Black Bear got annoyed and immediately retorted,
“Brat, what do you mean by that? Are you looking down on the opportunity we’re giving you? Or do you think you’re so great?”

“Don’t you need this chance we’re giving you? I can’t believe how arrogant you are, it really surprises me.”

“With such a big attitude, just go ahead and play a round with Baldy.”

Can’t he just accept it?

Really thick-skinned to the max.

It seems they needed to force him to act.

If they didn’t make him act, who knows how long his arrogance would last?

They needed to take him down a peg.

Black Bear thought to himself secretly.

Qin Yuan raised an eyebrow, “Then let’s do it.”

Who’s afraid of who?

He, Qin Yuan, was never afraid.

Since they had put it this way, this game had to be played.

Isn’t chess what Baldy is best at?

Well, let’s see how good Baldy’s chess skills are.

“Alright, let’s go then.” Baldy nodded.

Black Bear is really impressive.

Just a few words and he got the kid to agree.

Much better than him talking a whole lot.

After all, he was sure to beat this kid badly.
