Chapter 560 Xia Yichu Won’t Answer

The game started with one player who called for a number of pips, e.g. three 2’s, then the next player would have to raise, i.e. four 2’s or three 3’s. Either the total number or the pip number had to be bigger than the previous calling as the game took turns.

If you thought your opponent was bluffing, then you could say “open!” Supposing you had two 1’s and two 3’s, and your opponent had one 1 and two 3’s in both of your dice cups. Then your opponent called for eight 3’s, and you didn’t believe him and said open, then you won. If he called for seven 3’s and you said open, then you lost.

Normally, 1 pip could be any number of pips; i.e. it could be 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6, so that the game could be more complicated and fun. It was like an unknown factor, because a player might only have one 2 in his dice cup, but he also had three i’s, which meant he had four 2’s potentially.

However, there was a special rule. If a player called for the number of 1 pip, e.g. three 1’s, then 1 pip automatically lost its multiple identities. It could now only be 1 pip until the game ended.

“Sure!” everyone agreed.

“Why don’t you join us? If you lose the game, you can drink water, not wine,” Tong Jiayao said. She thought that she would have more chances to get familiar with Leng Shaoting if they could play the game together.

“Right! You can drink water.” The others all agreed.

They just met each other. If Leng Shaoting and Gu Ning didn’t join them, they would feel bored sitting aside.

“Well, I’ll join you!” Gu Ning said. She didn’t want them to feel that she stayed aloof from them. Gu Ning also understood that Leng Shaoting wasn’t interested in games which were aimed at drinking, so she didn’t ask him to join them along with her. The others didn’t insist either.

Gu Ning decided not to use her Jade Eyes this time, because it would be a little much if she used that in such a small game. At the same time, she wouldn’t enjoy playing the game if she used her Jade Eyes.

She had used Jade Eyes the last time in a game with Ai Weishun just to get revenge on him for Leng Shaoting. However, even though Gu Ning didn’t use her Jade Eyes, she was still lucky and seldom lost. The others, on the other hand, drank a lot.

When it was about 11 pm, they left the clubhouse.

Since Cao Wenxin was with them, Gu Ning could only send Leng Shaoting back to the hotel before she drove back to Huafu Hills with Cao Wenxin, and Leng Shaoting would take a taxi to Huafu Hills later.

Gu Man was already asleep when Gu Ning was back.

Leng Shaoting soon arrived at Gu Ning’s room, but he didn’t kiss or touch her immediately this time. Instead, he clicked an email open and showed Gu Ning the offices and garment factories.

“How much is the rent?” Gu Ning squinted at him with interest.

“It’s free,” Leng Shaoting said.

“Ha-ha, you’re so generous,” Gu Ning said. Although she felt happy that Leng Shaoting didn’t charge her, she couldn’t accept it. “Shaoting, business is business. If you don’t want the rent, I’m afraid that I can’t rent your offices.”

Hearing that, Leng Shaoting frowned a little. He seemed upset, but didn’t know how to retort.

Gu Ning then read the information about the three garment factories. She trusted Leng Shaoting, but she still needed to check them in person tomorrow.

“Oh, how many days of your vacation do you have left?” Gu Ning asked.

“Hard to tell. If I’m assigned a task, I have to go back to work at any time. If not, I still have many days off,” Leng Shaoting said.

As a member of the special corps, he was paid a lot more than a common soldier. Not only did they need to fulfill dangerous tasks, but they also had three days of special training once a month as well as deep forest training in the Amazon for half a month every year.

Leng Shaoting had just finished his monthly special training, so he would be free as long as he wasn’t assigned a task.

“I need to check the factories at noon tomorrow. After choosing a qualified one from them, I’ll fly to City D in the evening. If you’re free, why don’t you go with me?” Gu Ning said.

“No problem,” Leng Shaoting said.

After discussing business, Leng Shaoting couldn’t wait and pressed Gu Ning on the bed. Unfortunately, Gu Ning was on her period, which meant Leng Shaoting had to limit his desire for at least five days.

Leng Shaoting was extremely unwilling to accept the truth, but Gu Ning couldn’t control her period after all. Therefore, Leng Shaoting just kissed Gu Ning for a short while before he cuddled her in his arms before falling asleep. Gu Ning, however, secretly put her magical power into his body to help him have a sound sleep.

The next morning, Leng Shaoting left early as usual.

During breakfast, Gu Ning told Gu Man that she would be going to City D to deal with some business that afternoon and would stay there for the following two days, so a driver sent by the Tang Family would come to pick Gu Man up.

Although Gu Man felt a little uneasy if Gu Ning wasn’t by her side, she said nothing.

After breakfast, Gu Ning and Gu Man went to the Tang Family’s house.

Cao Wenxin was going back to her home today, so she didn’t go to the Tang Family’s house with Gu Ning

After the argument with Xia Yichu in the park, Qiao Guanxiang moved into Pei Hena’s apartment.

Around 8:30 am, Qiao Guanxiang called Xia Yichu.

In the beginning, Xia Yichu was just a ghost singer, so he would only call her when need arose. However, in case Xia Yichu would betray him, Qiao Guanxiang decided to let Xia Yichu be Pei Hena’s assistant too, so they could have tighter control over her. What he didn’t know was that Xia Yichu had already left for the capital.

Accordingly, when he called Xia Yichu, nobody answered his call. Qiao Guanxiang kept calling her but it was still the same. He immediately felt that something had to be wrong.

“What’s wrong? Is she refusing to answer your call?” Pei Hena asked.

“I can’t get through to her. Give me your phone,” Qiao Guanxiang said. Pei Hena immediately gave her phone to him and Qiao Guanxiang used hers to call Xia Yichu once more. However, nobody answered the call again.

“Could you still not get through?” Pei Hena started to panic.

“I think she blocked our phone numbers.” Qiao Guanxiang was annoyed. It was possible that Xia Yichu ran away from them. How did she dare to do that? Isn’t she afraid that I’ll hurt Xia Yidong?

“Give me your other phone,” Qiao Guanxiang said. Pei Hena had another mobile phone, and Xia Yichu didn’t have the number of her second phone.

If they got through to Xia Yichu with a different phone number, it proved that Xia Yichu had blocked their phone numbers and betrayed them.
