Chapter 82: Chapter 76: I’ll Bet on Him

A halo of light from the dim lamps outlined Qin Ling’s handsome profile. He sat on the sofa, his long arms propped on his legs, his back curved into a sharp line.

While watching the match in the ring, his foot, clad in a combat boot, tapped a light rhythm on the floor.

Tang Mo recognized the men standing behind him from last time; they were members of Qin Ling’s Personal Guard Team.

Tang Mo stuffed her hands in her pockets. A viable plan immediately formed in her mind. ’I know where I can get my first round of startup funds!’

She found the stairs leading to the second-floor stands and quietly slipped upstairs.

At the entrance to the second-floor stairs, two men in black stood guard.

One of them didn’t recognize Tang Mo. Seeing a pretty girl sneaking upstairs, he assumed she was just another one of their boss’s die-hard fans and immediately moved to block her.

The other one hurriedly pulled his companion back.

"Hello, Sister-in-law!"

"Shh!" Tang Mo, still bent over, gestured to the two of them.

This spot on the second-floor stands was too conspicuous; she had to stay bent over for the railing to hide her.

She pointed to herself, then to Qin Ling.

The man in black immediately understood and stepped aside, letting her pass.

Tang Mo, still bent over, shuffled up behind Qin Ling’s sofa and squatted down, her entire body hidden by the wide piece of furniture.

"Hey."

Tang Mo poked Qin Ling’s shoulder.

"Aren’t you... uncomfortable squatting like that? I’ll make some room for you."

Qin Ling turned his head and couldn’t help but find it amusing to see his girl squatting pitifully on the floor. He shifted over, creating a small empty space on the armchair.

"Doesn’t seem like there’s enough room. You’d better just sit on my lap."

Qin Ling shifted back to his original position.

"Stop fooling around. Lend me two Crystal Stones." Tang Mo held out her small hand.

’Her father had passed away early, so this was the first time in her life she’d ever asked a guy for money. It was actually a little embarrassing.’

’Whatever. Back in the cave, she’d given Qin Ling plenty of her own precious things. Taking a few Crystal Cores from him should be fine, right?’

"Two?"

Looking at the fair, delicate hand Tang Mo held out, Qin Ling couldn’t resist giving it a light pat before shooting a look at the man beside him.

The man in black immediately handed over a large backpack. Qin Ling opened it, pulled out two bags, and tossed them to Tang Mo.

"If that’s not enough, just ask. Send me a message, and I’ll have someone deliver more to you."

Tang Mo glanced down. The bags looked familiar, just like the ones Uncle Wen had given her last time.

Each bag was packed with two Intermediate Crystal Cores and thirty Basic Crystal Cores.

"This is enough. I’m off. Thanks."

Tang Mo was completely satisfied. ’Startup funds secured!’

’So this is what it feels like to date a rich kid. You know, once you get used to it, it’s actually pretty great, huh?’

"Leaving already? Woman, you’re so heartless! Stay with me for a bit."

Hearing Tang Mo say she was leaving, Qin Ling grew anxious and subconsciously turned to grab her.

He hadn’t seen her at all since she arrived at S Base. Now that they’d finally met, he really couldn’t bear to let her go so soon.

The anxious look on Qin Ling’s face was completely unconcealed, startling the group of men around him.

’They’d been on so many missions with Qin Ling, but when had they ever seen him look like this?’

’They all made a secret vow to themselves: next time they saw the Sister-in-law, they had to be even more respectful!’

Seeing the look on Qin Ling’s face, Tang Mo felt a sweetness blossom in her heart. She couldn’t bring herself to shake off his hand and make him sad.

She glanced around and saw a few girls in skirts and over-the-knee boots in the opposite stands already looking their way.

Tang Mo thought for a moment, then used her free hand to pull the large hood of her sweatshirt over her head.

Then, in one fluid motion, she rose, spun around, and used the pull from his grip on her arm to settle right into his lap, her back facing the other stands.

The large hood concealed both of their faces. Tang Mo leaned in slowly and pressed her lips to Qin Ling’s.

Stunned by this whole maneuver, Qin Ling froze for a couple of seconds.

When he came to his senses, he immediately wrapped his arms tightly around the slender, firm waist hidden beneath her loose clothes and kissed her back.

The two of them continued to kiss as if no one else existed, right under everyone’s watchful eyes.

The men in black all turned their heads in every direction, wishing they could simply disappear on the spot.

"In a bit, bet on the one who’s wearing clothes. Consider it my repayment for the Crystal Cores."

After the kiss, with a blush still warm on her cheeks, Tang Mo leaned close and whispered in Qin Ling’s ear.
