Chapter 385 Drawing Tortoises

“I believe!”

Chen Chichi, who was constantly fanning the flames, nodded his head vigorously. “Even Young Master Ye’s farts will smell great, let alone the porridge he makes!”

Zhao Liangying threw a look filled with disgust toward Chen Chichi. She could not help but distance herself from this person. It was just way too shameless and too much for her eyes to behold.

For some time, the scene went quiet. The only thing they could do was watch the pot.

“Why don’t we play a round of cards?”

Right then, Chen Meijia finally spoke up as her patience waned.

“That’s a great idea. Since we have nothing to do anyway.” Hu Yifei immediately seconded. The three of them quickly teamed up together for a round of Fight the Landlord.

“Sister Feifei, why don’t we play a round of cards too?” Zhao Liangying stared at the three girls. Her eyes filled with envy. Unexpectedly, she was quite a fan of the card game.

“Lingchen, want to join us?” Xiao Feifei immediately looked toward Ye Lingchen.

“You girls go ahead. I’m not interested.” Ye Lingchen waved his hand nonchalantly.

With his gambling skills, it was just pure bullying for him to play with them. They were of no challenge to him. He would feel more comfortable lying down and enjoy the night sky.

However, Zhao Liangying rolled her eyes. She was not going to let Ye Lingchen go just like that. “Young Master Ye, come join us. Could it be that a strong man like you are afraid of two weak little girls?”

“It’s too boring to play with you. You’ll constantly lose. Surely that will feel lame,” Ye Lingchen replied bluntly.

“Don’t you worry about that. I will not lose all the time.” Zhao Liangying was confident in her abilities. “I’m known as the female God of Gamblers in the industry. Although I don’t have a perfect win rate, I still have an 80 percent chance of winning!”

Zhao Liangying was by no means bragging. Her fame as the female God of Gamblers in the industry was real. Whenever she played cards with others, she would win most of the time.

Despite her gambling skills being average, her luck was excellent. She was so blessed that her opponents would descend into despair. With that, she naturally won most of her games.

Because of that, she wanted to play cards with Ye Lingchen. Although she had just met Ye Lingchen, she was extremely annoyed by his constant bullying. If she did not teach him a lesson, she would not feel satisfied.

“Lingchen, you’re too condescending!” Xiao Feifei retorted as well. She was obviously confident of her gambling skills too.

However, unlike Zhao Liangying, she did not solely depend on luck. She could memorize the cards and also track them. It was a skill dependent approach that helped her win most of the time. It was natural for her to be confident.

“Young Master Ye, what’s the point of an empty brag? Just tell us, do you dare to take us on or not?” Zhao Liangying issued the challenge in high spirits.

She had finally understood that Ye Lingchen was a braggart who loved to brag wherever he went.

Ye Lingchen merely shook his head. He was too lazy to get up. He welcomed the cool breeze from the lake, thoroughly enjoying it.

“Not daring to face our challenge? Are you a man?” Zhao Liangying added.

“Hey, do you know that it’s dangerous if you make such statements?” Ye Lingchen shifted his gaze onto Zhao Liangying, immediately causing her to react like a frightened deer, hiding behind Xiao Feifei.

However, Ye Lingchen continued with a sigh. “I’m only stating a fact. You really can’t beat me. Why won’t you believe me? Do you really need to torture yourself this way? I’m just afraid of ruining your good mood.”

“Oh my god, this is just too boastful. Don’t you worry. If you dare play with us, we won’t blame you no matter how badly we lose,” Zhao Liangying expressed her dissatisfaction.

“Young Master Ye, your words are really aggravating. Even I can’t tolerate them,” Lu Xiaobu interjected.

“Fine. I can’t help it if someone’s looking for trouble,” Ye Lingchen replied.

“Come on!” Zhao Liangying was filled with excitement as she shuffled the card expertly with her beautiful hands.

Ye Lingchen shifted from lying to a sitting position. Without a care, he added, “It’s too boring to just play cards. We need to add some things to spice it up.”

“Perfect, I like that!” Zhao Liangying was the first to agree. After that, she threw a mischievous glance at Ye Lingchen. “Here’s a pen. We’ll draw tortoises on the loser!”

“Sure! I hope someone doesn’t end up in tears.” Ye Lingchen shrugged.

“Tsk, let’s start!”

Zhao Liangying rubbed her hands together. Her face was filled with excitement and anticipation. ‘Don’t fail me, my lucky hands. We must teach this stinking b*stard a lesson!’

After the shuffle, they started drawing the cards.

Looking at her cards, a wide grin was immediately plastered on Zhao Liangying’s face. Her luck was the real deal.

Both Jokers were in her hand and the cards were quite complete. It was difficult to lose!

As she was the one that dealt the cards, it was her turn to call for the Landlord.

In order to keep a complete hand and play it safe, she decided not to claim Landlord. After all, it was the first turn. She should take it slow.

“I call for Landlord!”

Ye Lingchen took the card away without hesitation.

Xiao Feifei unwittingly shot a glance at Zhao Liangying. However, she was smiling and winking at her. It was obvious Xiao Feifei felt confident.

Both of them were best friends. Faced with a common enemy, they worked well together.

‘This round is set.’

Zhao Liangying’s eyes were already checking Ye Lingchen’s body, looking for a place to draw. ‘Should I draw it on his arms? Or his face? He’s my boss after all. Although he’s a jerk, if I drew on his face, would he intentionally pick on me?’

“555, 666, each attached with another card!”

Ye Lingchen was already making his move, throwing down eight cards in one go.

“Pass.” Xiao Feifei took a look at the cards in her hand, then shook her head helplessly.

Zhao Liangying frowned instead. She could not decide if she should use the Joker Bomb. She hesitated for a moment, then decided to let Ye Lingchen take another move first. “Pass.”

“3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, J, Q, K, A.”

Ye Lingchen placed his entire hand on the table. The series of flush immediately blew Zhao Liangying’s mind.

“That’s it?”

“That’s it!”

“That can’t be. I still haven’t used my Joker Bomb. I should’ve used it earlier!” Zhao Liangying’s face was twitching, feeling regretful.

“Lingchen, you broke up your 5555 and 6666,” Xiao Feifei was astonished.

“I had to do that. Fortunately, I took the right bet.” Ye Lingchen won effortlessly. Zhao Liangying was instead triggered. Her breathing hastened as her brain continued to ponder why she did not use her bomb. ‘Why didn’t I use the bomb?’

“Hey, female God of Gamblers, get yourself together please. It’s time to draw tortoises,” Ye Lingchen said with a smile.

“Draw, draw. I’ll let you draw!”

Zhao Liangying pouted her lips, but she still extended her slender hand toward Ye Lingchen for him to draw a tortoise on her wrist.

‘It’s just the first match. This is nothing. I’ll just have to win the next match…’
