Chapter 119 Old Fourth Brother Touches the Card Closely! He's behind him: Sister-in-law, this i
When Master Sun entered the Qin family, he stood tall with his hands behind his back, displaying the air of an imperial envoy who was "present to investigate and seize your property."
But less than fifteen minutes after he entered the room, he couldn't straighten his back.
First, she was shocked by the smooth cement road that was as smooth as a mirror, and then she was terrified by Qin Lie's doting husband act of "kneeling down on one knee to tie his shoelaces".
Now, he was sitting in the Qin family's private room called "Chess and Card Room," with a sofa as soft as a cloud (a new gadget that the fourth brother had gotten) under his buttocks, holding a crystal-clear glass in his hand, feeling a little dazed.
"Master, is this tea to your liking?"
Su Wan changed into a set of comfortable home clothes, sat in the main seat opposite her, and asked with a smile.
"Excellent...excellent tea!"
Master Sun quickly took a sip. Although it was just ordinary barley tea, the cup was expensive! Drinking from this cup made him feel like he was glowing!
"Did the advisor come this time about the road repairs?"
Qin Mo sat next to Su Wan, slowly flipping through a book without even glancing at Master Sun, but the invisible pressure was palpable.
"Ahem, yes and no."
Master Sun put down his cup, his eyes gleaming, and that little bit of greedy thought resurfaced:
"This road is well-built, but the cost... must have been considerable, right? If we could present this secret formula to the imperial court, that would be a great achievement!"
He was trying to get something for nothing.
Su Wan and Qin Mo exchanged a glance, a hint of mockery flashing in their eyes.
This advisor is truly the kind of person who won't act until he sees a clear benefit.
"The secret recipe? No problem."
Qin Yue, the fourth brother who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up.
Today he wore a deep purple silk shirt with the collar slightly open, revealing a section of his delicate collarbone, exuding a lazy and elegant noble air.
He wasn't holding his signature abacus; instead, he was fiddling with a...
Square bamboo blocks, carved with patterns.
"Splash—"
He casually rubbed the pile of bamboo pieces on the table, making a crisp and pleasant clanging sound.
"It's rare for the advisor to come all this way; discussing official business is so boring."
Qin Yue raised an eyebrow, looking at Master Sun with a half-smile:
"How about... we play a couple of rounds first?"
"Play? What do you mean by playing?" Master Sun was taken aback, staring at the bamboo pieces with a face full of curiosity.
"This is called—Mahjong."
Qin Yue casually picked up a card, twirled it in his hand, and spoke in a seductive tone, as if tempting someone to commit a crime:
"This is the most popular pastime among the high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital right now (made up). Not only can it be used for entertainment, but it can also... win money."
He emphasized the words "win money" when he spoke.
Master Sun's beady eyes lit up instantly.
His only vices in life were womanizing and gambling. He was tired of all the casinos in the county town, and this was the first time he'd ever seen anything like it.
"Since Fourth Master has extended such a warm invitation, then... this humble advisor shall not refuse?"
……
Fifteen minutes later.
The game officially began.
On the square table.
Master Sun sat to the east, Master Qian (who stubbornly refused to leave) sat to the west, and Qin Yue sat to the south.
And the location to the north...
It's Su Wan.
"Sister-in-law, you don't know how to play, I'll teach you."
Qin Yue didn't sit in his own seat, but instead pulled up a chair and sat down right behind Su Wan.
"This...this isn't in accordance with the rules, is it?" Master Sun swallowed hard, looking at the two figures that were almost overlapping each other.
That's way too close!
Qin Yue practically held Su Wan in his arms, his chest pressed against her back, and his chin almost resting on her shoulder.
"Master, you may not know this, but there are many rules in mahjong. My sister-in-law is a beginner and can't see them clearly from a distance."
Qin Yue spoke with such confidence and conviction.
He reached out and put his hands over Su Wan's shoulders, taking her hands as she was arranging the cards.
"Sister-in-law, you should place your hand like this..."
His large, warm palm enveloped Su Wan's slender, cool hand. The rough calluses on his fingertips intentionally or unintentionally caressed the back of her hand, sending a jolt of electricity through her.
Su Wan froze, her face instantly turning red.
This is too... too outrageous!
He dared to take advantage of others so blatantly in front of outsiders!
"Qin Yue, sit back down, I can do it myself..."
Su Wan protested softly, trying to pull her hand back.
"Shh-"
Qin Yue lowered his head, his lips almost touching her earlobe, his warm breath spraying onto the sensitive skin of her neck:
"Sister-in-law, don't move around. You'll have to pay if you lose."
"Our family's money... is all in my sister-in-law's hands. If she loses too much, I'll have to pay for it with my body."
His voice was very low, with a hint of hoarse laughter, which only Su Wan could hear.
This is blatant flirting!
Su Wan was so angry that she wanted to stomp on him, but he stopped her leg under the table with his knee, making her unable to move.
Let's begin!
Master Sun couldn't wait any longer, and he didn't care how the uncle and aunt were flirting. His eyes were fixed on the card table.
……
"Splash—"
The sound of shuffling the cards rang out.
Although Su Wan knew how to play mahjong before she transmigrated, she could only pretend to be clumsy in order to cooperate with Qin Yue's acting.
"Oh dear, where should I place this card?"
She held a "two of bamboo" tile, looking completely bewildered.
"fool."
Qin Yue chuckled softly, the vibration in his chest traveling down her back, making half of Su Wan's body go weak.
He held her hand, guiding the card into the deck, his fingertip casually tickling her palm:
"This is called a 'tube.' Remember this, sister-in-law, these round ones... are all good things."
He was implying something.
His gaze swept over Su Wan's heaving chest, seemingly casually.
Su Wan blushed so deeply that she wanted to shove the cards in her hand into his mouth.
"bump!"
"Damn it!"
After several rounds, Master Sun and Master Qian actually won quite a bit.
These two were gamblers to begin with and picked it up very quickly. With Su Wan, the "newbie," frequently losing, the two won big and were all smiles.
"Haha! Lady Su's luck isn't good this time!"
Master Sun stroked his beard, a smug look on his face, the silver notes piled up like a small mountain in front of him:
"Looks like I won't be getting the road-building secret formula today, but as for the silver... hehe!"
Qin Yue looked at Master Sun's smug face and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
"Master, please don't be anxious."
He leaned lazily against Su Wan, like a boneless fox:
"This is nothing! The real show is yet to come."
After saying that, he suddenly tightened his arms around Su Wan.
He leaned forward slightly.
That intense aura of male hormones instantly enveloped Su Wan.
"Sister-in-law, from now on... listen to me."
He whispered in her ear, his voice becoming more serious, yet still carrying that irresistible, almost effeminate quality:
"You play whichever card I tell you to play."
"If you win, it's yours."
"If we lose..."
He paused, then quickly licked her earlobe with the tip of his tongue; the warm, wet touch sent a shiver down Su Wan's spine.
"Tonight... I'll lose to you too."
Su Wan's heart skipped a beat.
This monster!
……
The next round of the game took an unexpected turn.
Qin Yue seemed to have gained supernatural insight.
He held Su Wan's hand and gestured to the world.
"Play this one."
"Touch this."
"Don't touch that one, keep it for fishing."
His instructions were concise and precise; every card he played seemed to be the result of meticulous calculation.
Moreover, his actions became increasingly audacious.
In order to see the cards clearly (an excuse), his face was almost pressed against Su Wan's, their breaths mingling.
To help her draw the cards, he covered her hand with his, their fingers interlocked, palms pressed together, fitting perfectly without any gap.
That feeling...
It was as if he was holding her hand, doing something extremely private and shameful.
"Self-draw!"
With a low chuckle from Qin Yue.
He held Su Wan's hand and slammed a card heavily on the table.
"A perfect suit, a straight line."
"Give me the money."
Master Sun was dumbfounded.
Master Qian was dumbfounded.
In this round, they gave back all the winnings they had made before, and even had to pay an extra 500 taels!
"This...how is this possible?!"
Unconvinced, Master Sun rolled up his sleeves and shouted, "Again! I refuse to believe it!"
however.
Every game that followed was a one-sided massacre.
Qin Yue was like a cat toying with a mouse.
While casually flirting with the beauty in his arms, he utterly annihilated the two gamblers opposite him.
"I won."
"It's another self-touching moment."
"Oh dear, this is a real disaster."
Su Wan no longer needed to use her brain; she was like a puppet, completely at Qin Yue's mercy.
Her attention was entirely focused on the man behind her.
The vibration in his chest as he spoke.
He tapped the back of her hand lightly with his fingers as he pondered.
And there's his occasional mischievous little pinch on her waist.
All of this transformed what was originally a tense and exciting gamble into a secret and passionate affair that only the two of them could understand.
"No... I'm not playing anymore!"
After an unknown amount of time, Master Sun finally broke down.
He had already lost all the silver notes in front of him, and even bet the jade pendant he always carried with him.
"Fourth Master Qin! You're cheating, aren't you?!"
With red eyes, Master Sun slammed his fist on the table and roared.
"Deqian?"
Qin Yue finally released his grip on Su Wan's hand, but he didn't pull away, still leaning lazily against her.
He raised his eyelids and looked at Master Sun as if he were a fool:
"Master, you shuffled the cards yourself, and you rolled the dice. Can't accept defeat?"
He casually grabbed the pile of silver notes he had won, which looked like a small mountain, and without even counting them, stuffed them directly into Su Wan's arms.
To make it even more secure, he even reached inside with his hand, touching that soft, warm spot.
"Well……"
Caught off guard, Su Wan let out a very soft moan, her face turning as red as a sheet of cloth.
Qin Yue, however, smiled like a fox who had successfully stolen some fish.
"Sister-in-law, keep it safe."
"This is the start-up capital for our road construction, and also... the pocket money I earn for my sister-in-law."
He turned to look at Master Sun, whose face was ashen, and his tone instantly turned cold, revealing the shrewdness and calculation of a businessman:
"Master, it doesn't matter if we lose all the money."
"Let's talk about something else."
"For example... regarding this road repair, shouldn't the advisor do us a favor?"
"Or rather, would the advisor like to... also get involved?"
Master Sun was stunned.
He looked at the table full of money, then at Qin Yue's confident expression.
Suddenly it dawned on me.
This is all a setup!
A trap that made him willingly jump in, not only losing money but also binding his pirate ship to the Qin family!
"You...you want to drag me down with you?"
Master Sun gritted his teeth.
"How can you call it 'sewage'?"
Qin Yue smiled and gently tidied Su Wan's slightly messy sideburns, his movements incredibly tender.
"This is called... win-win cooperation."
"Master, life in Wolf Fang Village is much better than that dead-end job in the county government..."
"If you'd like, I'll reserve a VIP card for this 'card room' for you from now on. There are plenty of good things inside..."
As he spoke, he glanced ambiguously toward the backyard.
That's where a "bath center" is under construction.
Following his gaze, Master Sun recalled the addictive thrill of the game he had just experienced.
He swallowed hard.
That greed, that desire for pleasure, ultimately triumphed over reason.
"OK!"
Master Sun gritted his teeth, pulled a token from his pocket, and slammed it on the table:
"I've approved the road construction! But this VIP card... I want the gold one!"
"make a deal."
A victorious smile curved Qin Yue's lips.
He stood up, stretched, and his lazy, dashing demeanor made Su Wan a little lost in thought.
"Sister-in-law, let's go."
He took Su Wan's hand very naturally, their fingers intertwined:
"I'm tired too."
"Let's go back to our room... and settle the bill."
Su Wan's heart tightened: "Settle... settle what accounts?"
"Of course..."
Qin Yue moved closer to her, a dangerous glint in his peach blossom eyes:
"I just won so much, shouldn't my sister-in-law keep her promise...?"
"You...gave yourself to me?"
