Chapter 59: My Wife is Chasing Me

---

After Xia Yuan rolled the dice for the third time, Ning Kou hesitated and said, “It should be three sixes.”

Qin Mohuai calmly lifted the dice cup for the third time.

It was three ones.

Ning Kou face went pale, and her spirit deflated completely. She slumped into her chair, exhausted.

She had expected Xia Yuan to at least roll a full house once to show her skill, but Xia Yuan’s numbers were so mixed that they confused her!

“Xia Yuan won again. She’s amazing.”

“We have a new dice queen in our circle!”

“Did you notice that the three numbers Mrs. Qin rolled were 5, 2, and 1?”

“This show of affection is so romantic!”

“Mr. Qin was just unhappy, and now he’s all smiles. What an amazing woman.”

Yang Yi and Maxence high-fived again; they had won once more!

“That’s definitely just a coincidence,” Pei Jincheng said with a dismissive ‘tsk,’ his tone lazy and decadent, giving off a dark vibe.

Zhou Xuan held his shoulder, also looking gloomy, and said, “Go stop Yang Yi. He’s adding private jets to his shopping cart.”

Pei Jincheng smiled with a cold elegance. “I dare him to actually use a private jet I gave him.”

Zhou Xuan replied, “…It’s definitely you.”

Pei Jincheng was known in the circle for his petty nature; even Qin Mohuai didn’t dare accept his gifts when he was angry.

No one knew just how twisted a man could become after being single for so long.

As Xia Yuan left the gambling table, Qin Mohuai’s hand settled on her waist, holding her in a gentlemanly and affectionate manner. His voice was gravelly, rich, and magnetic.

“Was that intentional?”

“You seemed unhappy, so I wanted to cheer you up.”

Xia Yuan, with the special bond between partners, sensed that Qin Mohuai was in a good mood. Although she didn’t know why he had been upset, as long as he was happy, that was enough for her.

The only regret was that her affection level didn’t increase this time.

Zhou Mao walked over to congratulate Xia Yuan but received a dark warning from Qin Mohuai.

Zhou Mao: ?

Heh, Third Brother, your exclusive possessiveness over the fairy Xia Yuan is so low-key!

Ning Kou’er bit her lip, looking like a drowned rat, unwilling to beg Xia Yuan for mercy.

Xia Yuan had no intention of letting her off. “You lost. Time to fulfill the bet.”

Ning Kou panicked. “Are you serious?”

---

Upon hearing the terms of the bet, the onlookers were curious.

“I heard it’s about barking like a dog.”

“Wow, that’s a bit much, isn’t it?”

“Ning Kou was too confident, but Xia Yuan shouldn’t have been so aggressive. The future matriarch of the Qin family shouldn’t be so petty.”

Zhou Mao, who usually played the peacemaker, was practically laughing with anger after hearing Ning Kou provocations.

“Every time Ning Kou bets with dice, she really means it. You won Pei Jincheng’s Ferrari and Yang Yi’s custom surgical knife. Do you even need a surgical knife? You also won Wei Xiaoqi’s classical piano, making him depressed at home for half a year. You refused to sell it to him even at double the price. If you win, the bet is real; if someone else wins, the bet is fake. Your character is pathetic!”

Ning Kou bit her lip, still unable to force herself to bark like a dog.

It was too humiliating.

Xia Yuan said, “I can modify the bet. You only need to shout ‘Xia Yuan and Qin Mohuai are heaven-made’ three times, but you must return everything you’ve won in the past. Quit gambling, girl. If I can win against you, you’ll be bankrupt when you face a real expert.”

Everyone nodded, agreeing that this was the best resolution.

Ning Kou shouted ‘Xia Yuan and Qin Mohuai are heaven-made’ three times and agreed to return everything she had won. She could already imagine the reaction of her family…

Qin Mohuai knew what the bet was, but hearing it in person caused a subtle stir in his emotions.

521, heaven-made again. Xia Yuan really has no originality.

A certain madman’s lips were more suppressed than an AK, benefiting from it while pretending to be virtuous.

Only Pei Jincheng and Maxence remained in the room.

Pei Jincheng clapped slowly, “Tonight was truly wonderful. Little Sister-in-law has done us a favor. Although my car isn’t much, Yang Yi’s surgical knife and Wei Xiaoqi’s classical piano are unique. They should thank you properly.”

Yang Yi said, “Sister-in-law, don’t listen to his sweet talk. Just now, he and Zhou Xuan were betting on Ning Kou winning!”

Zhou Xuan glared at him. “Are you even a brother?”

Xia Yuan leaned gently against Qin Mohuai, looking like a delicate vine, losing her earlier fierce demeanor.

“It’s okay. I like to repay kindness with kindness.”

Pei Jincheng: “……”

He felt there was something slightly off about it.

Maxence and Zhou Yun exchanged a few words before walking up to Xia Yuan.

Xia Yuan’s gaze fell on Zhou Yun. Perhaps due to her background as an art collector, Zhou Yun’s accessories were not expensive but had high taste. She held an ostrich feather fan that matched her dress and wore a rose diamond brooch on her authoritative line, reminiscent of the luxurious Victorian era.

Xia Yuan, recognizing her from the accessories, addressed her crisply, “Mrs. Zhou.”

Zhou Yun smiled warmly, “If I worked hard, I could have a daughter as big as you. Calling me Mrs. Zhou feels too formal; just call me Aunt Zhou.”

Xia Yuan smiled, “You look very young. Standing together, you look like my older sister. Calling you ‘Aunt’ makes you seem old.”

Zhou Yun exclaimed, “Oh, look at how sweet your words are. Mohuai must be eager to marry you, afraid you’d be snatched away by someone else.”

Qin Mohuai, calm and composed, said, “I can’t be stolen because she’s the one pursuing me.”

Anyone could see how proud he was.

Zhou Yun laughed. The way this young couple behaved was amusing. Though Qin Mohuai seemed dominant, with Xia Yuan needing to appease him, in reality, Qin Mohuai’s emotions were tightly controlled by Xia Yuan.

Maxence, with clear eyes, envied Qin Mohuai. He had pursued Zhou Yun for a long time, feeling melancholic in the streets of Paris, drinking heavily at his winery, and crying outside Zhou Yun’s residence with his dog…

Maxence never gave up because every man had to go through such struggles to win the love of a beautiful woman, even the males in the animal kingdom.

Yet, Qin Mohuai was the one being pursued!

At that moment, Maxence’s thoughts aligned with Pei Jincheng’s.

Why did Qin Mohuai, this gloomy and crawly fellow, get everything?

The newlywed couples agreed to have a meal together another day. The family banquet was nearing its end, and people were still discussing the dice game.

Xia Yuan was unaware that she had become a sensation in the high society of Xiangzhou overnight and was being exaggeratedly dubbed the new ‘Dice Queen.’

She was being kissed by Qin Mohuai, and his deep, gravelly voice struggled to emerge through their intimate, moist kiss, “Why are you so good at dice?”
