Chapter 147 — The Long-Awaited...

"In the end he'll lose them right back to the casino," Huang Yan said. "So it's still no loss."

"What if he wins?" Yang Ce countered.

"Then there's nothing for it—we give him the money." Huang Yan thought for quite a while before coming out with this answer.

Yang Xutang could not help but laugh happily. Every time he talked with Huang Yan, he felt relaxed and cheerful. Huang Yan was that kind of person—unconventional, unlike anyone else.

She had probably grown up in a big family, doted on by everyone since childhood, never having known hardship. That was what had shaped such an unusual character.

The cream-colored Porsche Boxster pulled into the parking lot of the Huawei Casino. Security guards were already there to meet them, and one opened the door for Huang Yan: "Young Miss."

This was the same security captain who had taken Zhang Bin out to play last time. When Huang Yan's car entered the entrance to the casino parking lot, he had heard the news over the walkie-talkie and come personally to the parking lot.

"I've brought some friends to play. Keep them company in a bit," Huang Yan said. She had not the slightest interest in gambling. Small wonder—her family ran a casino, and she knew its rules and inner workings inside out, so naturally she had lost all taste for betting.

By comparison, Huang Yan was more interested in QQ games like Bubble Dragon.

"Understood." The security captain glanced at the taxi behind them and saw it was the same people as last time, so he nodded. It was the young miss's arrangement anyway; it did not matter who asked.

Yang Shuoxuan had no wish to gamble at any such nonsense. Rather than gamble, he would sooner sit in a room with Huang Yan and flirt a little, to deepen their feelings. Through these few encounters, Yang Ce had found that he had already fallen for this unconventional girl, Huang Yan.

863. Come a Few More Times

863. Come a Few More Times. Yang Ce told Zhang Bin and Wang Mei to go play in the casino and to call if anything came up. He himself went upstairs with Huang Yan to her room in the casino.

Zhang Bin answered and, in high spirits, went off with Wang Mei and the security captain to the casino.

"In a bit you're going to help me beat that little fox spirit," Huang Yan said, pushing Yang Ce from behind and shoving him into the room.

Yang Lanxu said, "If you're in such a hurry to push me into bed, I'd be more than happy. But Yang Minlan and Huang Yan's feelings have gone beyond mere fondness for her body—they've been upgraded to a fondness for Huang Yan as a whole person."

"Sure, I can win. But what's the reward?" Yang Heng sat down casually at Huang Yan's computer desk and switched on the power.

"Reward?" Huang Yan was taken aback for a moment, but seeing Yang Ce's wicked grin, she seemed to catch on, and her face flushed red. "You tell me."

"Anything you say goes," Yang Ce said, unable to resist teasing her at the sight of her expression.

"Oh, you win first and then we'll talk," Huang Yan said, dodging the question and urging him on.

Although Huang Yan sometimes liked to act on impulse and do silly things, she did have some understanding of matters between men and women—especially after she had turned the tables on Yang Ce last time. She had thought about it for a long while afterward: who exactly had taken advantage of whom?

But Huang Yan was never the sentimental type. When she couldn't figure it out, she simply stopped thinking about it. Still, she could more or less guess what Heng was thinking—after all, when a boyfriend and girlfriend are together, it always comes down to these things.

Yang Heng smiled, logged into the QQ account, and entered the game lobby. Huang Yan's account and password were saved, so he could log in with a single click. Before logging in, though, Yang Ce had noted Huang Yan's QQ number and secretly memorized it.

The moment Huang Yan came online, Little Fox Spirit sought her out: "Did you bring that expert? Or did he just ignore you? And you had the nerve to say he was your boyfriend—aren't you ashamed?"

"Is that expert you're talking about me?" Yang Ce sent back.

"You? An expert? Ha!" Little Fox Spirit sent a "pfft" emoji, full of disdain.

"Whether I'm an expert or not, one match will tell," Yang Ce sent back a "hand over mouth, laughing" emoji.

"All right then, come on. Fujian Telecom, room x, table x," Little Fox Spirit issued the invitation.

Yang Ce didn't reply. Instead, he went straight to the server and room number Little Fox Spirit had given and found the spot. Little Fox Spirit was already seated at the table.

Yang Yuting took a seat, but a password prompt appeared. Yang Ce was about to send Little Fox Spirit a private message asking for the password when Huang Yan said, "14."

Yang Ce entered "14" and entered the room smoothly. So this password must be one Little Fox Spirit and Huang Yan used often.

As for Bubble Dragon, Yang Ce was utterly masterful. In no time at all, he trounced Little Fox Spirit completely.

Little Fox Spirit immediately sent a private message: "You really are that expert?"

"More or less," Yang Ce replied.

"Are you Lele's boyfriend?" Little Fox Spirit asked, thoroughly gossiping. She knew she was no match for Yang Juehuan, and now that she had confirmed his identity, she gave up any thought of another match.

Yang Juehuan wasn't even in the same league as her in terms of speed. She could beat Huang Yan, but it took a grueling war of attrition to win. Yang Ce was different—before Little Fox Spirit could even see what was happening, countless bubbles swarmed her screen, until "game over."

"I am," Yang Ce replied.

"Ugh, then I'm doomed. With an expert like you training Lele, it won't be long before I have to admit defeat," Little Fox Spirit said, somewhat dejected.

Training. Yang Lanxu's heart stirred at the word—it was so suggestive. Yang Ce turned to glance at Huang Yan beside him, his thoughts wandering.

Before Yang Ce could reply, Huang Yan snatched the keyboard and typed: "That's right, heh heh. Just wait—I'll be coming for revenge!"

Yang Heng smiled and reached out to gently stroke Huang Yan's lovely hair. "I've beaten her now. What's my reward?"

"Mmm, you tell me," Huang Yan said, quite happily, nodding without hesitation.

Yang Ce casually turned off the monitor, then scooped Huang Yan up in his arms and carried her onto the bed behind them.

Huang Yan knew what Yang Ce was probably about to do to her, so she slowly closed her eyes. As for her feelings for Heng, Huang Yan's heart was just as complicated as Yang Minlan's.

At first, Huang Yan had only felt some fondness for Yang Mo, but she had never reached the point of loving him. She had done those things with Yang Ce because she thought he was putting on airs and wanted to take him down a peg.

But ever since she had agreed to be Yang Ce's lover, Huang Yan couldn't help thinking of him often. As the number of times grew, her initial fondness turned into something deeper. Besides, they had already done everything together. Though Huang Yan didn't think much of it herself, it had invisibly drawn their hearts closer.

When Yang Ce kissed her, Huang Yan's heart fluttered. This time the kiss felt completely different from the last. Last time, Huang Yan had mostly been in a vengeful mood and hadn't tasted any of the pleasure. But this time was different—she felt as if she'd been struck by electricity, nervous and thrilling all at once.

Huang Yan wasn't the kind of girl to feign modesty. When Yang Ce undressed her, there was no token resistance—she even turned slightly on purpose so he could remove her bra smoothly.

Only when Yang Ce was about to enter her did Huang Yan frown nervously: "It won't hurt as much this time, will it?"

Yang Ce looked at her nervous little expression and couldn't help finding it both funny and adorable. He teased her: "Didn't you say last time wasn't your first time? So why would it still hurt?"
