Chapter 34: Scheming Laughter
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Everyone was intimidated by Fu Jingheng’s “follow pressure”, and they were all observing the subtle changes in Fu Jingheng’s expression, but Fu Jingheng wasn’t a person who easily revealed his emotions. No matter what, it seemed that he only had one expression, that was, indifference.
But looking at his domineering move just now, they felt a little troubled in their hearts. If they also followed the pressure, they were afraid that there would be no room for maneuver.
As the dealer, when Yu Feici heard that someone wanted to follow suit, she issued another card to Fu Jingheng. She was also a little interested in their game, and she was particularly curious about who would bring home this pile of valuables.
“Oh, it seems that Lao Fu’s card is a bit better.” Ji Ye also smiled and threw the card on the table while shrugging. “In this case, then I will give up this watch and generously give them to you all.”
Ji Ye took the lead to give up, then Duan Shiwan and Xun Ye also gave up in the later period, because the cards in their hands weren’t enough for them to play!
Later, Su Tanqing and Lin Yang were both unwilling to admit defeat, so they still wanted to try their luck and followed suit, but the other player wasn’t doing so well. With three people against him, he got eliminated.
Afterwards, he voluntarily gave up, and it became a battle between Su Tanqing, Lin Yang and Fu Jingheng.
Nan Yan was holding the card in her hand, and she who had always been carefree felt a little nervous at this time.
“Do you still want to follow?” Nan Yan held her card in both hands, leaned over slightly, then took the initiative to approach Fu Jingheng and asked in a low voice.
When he saw her shoulder that was leaning closer, Fu Jingheng’s lips twitched, but his brows deliberately furrowed and he looked at the card in her hand seriously. “Um…let me see.”
“Do you want to follow?” Fu Jingheng didn’t rush to a conclusion but asked her back.
Nan Yan pursed her lips. She didn’t know much about this card, but she knew all the basics. Just now, he was able to appear so assured even when he didn’t have that good of a card. That means that this was also a psychological game so of course, she couldn’t lose.
.
After some thought, she nodded, and her gorgeous red lips evoked a shallow smile. A meaningful expression flashed through her clear and bright eyes. “Follow! We’re already here, so it would be a pity if we don’t follow it. There’s no reason not to accept a freebie.”
“Well, Miss Nan’s words are reasonable.” Fu Jingheng looked at her fox-like sly smile, and the corners of his mouth gradually curled up. There was warmth in his black pupils. He opened his palms and made a “go ahead” gesture. “Then continue to follow!”
The others looked at the two of them together and kept feeling that the two of them were like a cunning and treacherous old couple that were trying their best to cheat them.
“Why is it that the laughter of the two of you… seem kinda creepy?” Su Tanqing touched her arm and glared at Nan Yan disdainfully.
“It’s also rare to see Lao Fu smile.” Lin Yang also found it strange. After all, Fu Jingheng usually gave them the impression that he was a serious person who rarely smiled. Now, he and Nan Yan were sitting together, and the two of them were smiling like this, so they inexplicably made people feel that they were a suitable match and somewhat scheming.
Ji Ye had long given up so he was an outsider of the game. He was watching the excitement happily, and he placed a piece of fruit into his mouth. “There are only situations that can make Lao Fu laugh like this. The first reason is, he is in a good mood. The second reason is, someone, is going to suffer.”
“So, what is the difference between the two situations you mentioned now for us? Unnecessary sarcasm.” Lin Yang rolled his eyes at Ji Ye. He also picked up a pillow and threw it over.
