"Forget it, you’re busy welcoming your future sister-in-law! I’ll find my second brother to play with myself!" Xing Na’s personality was quite good, bold and carefree, not concerned with minor details.
Furthermore, her ntion of "sister-in-law" ward Zhong Zhen’s heart imnsely.
Xiahou Chunyi turned to glance at Zhong Zhen, noticing her blush, and figured out what was going on.
Judging by this, Zhong Zhen seed to have a favorable impression of him. Today’s matchmaking should be quite successful.
He was also well aware that his union with Zhong Zhen didn’t require love, just mutual satisfaction.
A political marriage only required that both parties have comparable forces and mutual assistance.
"Alright, stop ssing around. Your sister-in-law just arrived," Xiahou Chunyi spoke up, following Xing Na’s words, indirectly admitting Zhong Zhen’s status.
Zhong Zhen wasn’t dumb; hearing Xiahou Chunyi’s words, she understood too.
It seed he was quite satisfied with her.
Being reprimanded by her big brother, Xing Na unwillingly turned around to chat with her second brother.
"Chen, if only you’d brought your girlfriend along too..." Xing Na sounded disappointed. This ti, during her brief stay in A City, she wanted to see her second brother’s mysterious wife!
Having grown up abroad, she occasionally called her brothers "big brother" and "second brother," and sotis directly by their nas.
Luckily, Xing Chen was quite indulgent of his younger sister and didn’t mind her addressing him by his na.
"What about you? I heard you already have a boyfriend?" Xing Chen didn’t answer her question, instead laying a trap for her...
Quickly, Xing Na’s cheeks stiffened, and she coughed awkwardly trying to hide it, "Who has been spreading gossip? Aren’t we supposed to be gambling on jade? Let’s start quickly!"
With Xing Na’s words, everyone smiled lightly and moved towards the center for jade gambling.
Zhong Zhen and Xing Na each picked several stones, and after cutting them open, found the jade inside to be of dium-quality bean variety, not particularly good.
After opening several stones in a row, Zhong Zhen’s interest waned, and she stood to one side with a furrowed brow, not saying much.
Having been spoiled since childhood, the uncomfortable play made Xing Na start to complain, "This is so boring... Just the two of us here looking at stones. Why isn’t anyone else bidding with us? It’s more fun that way!"
Shang Dongyuan, always by the side, heard Xing Na’s complaint and explained, "To welco the four of you, Gambling Stone City is closed to outsiders today, only entertaining you four distinguished guests."
"But it’s so boring this way..." Xing Na pouted as she continued looking at the stones.
Xiahou Chunyi and Xing Chen exchanged glances, their eyes showing varied expressions.
Looking at Zhong Zhen, she probably felt bored too.
Shang Dongyuan was also sowhat embarrassed. Since they were here, the jade gambling couldn’t be open to the public, so only a few people could play, which was indeed a bit dull.
At that mont, three people suddenly walked in through the main hall entrance.
At first, nobody noticed them until a waiter stepped forward to intercept them, drawing attention.
"Miss, I’m sorry, we’re closed today. Please co back another day?"
Among the intercepted group, leading them was a beautiful girl in a light olive dress.
Her gaze initially fell on Xing Chen, but upon hearing the voice, she raised her eyebrows and looked at the person who stopped her, her red lips parting slightly, "I’m Shang Dongyuan’s friend."
As soon as she said this, Chu Xiaoge, who was welcoming at the door, quickly rushed over, pulling aside the waiter and whispering, "This is our boss’s friend. How dare you stop her? Do you want to lose your job?"
