After showering, it was nearly ten-thirty.

Time really is like flowing sand, slipping away unconsciously.

Outside the window.

There was still no movement at the gate of the courtyard.

Hmm.

Truly obedient.

Under the serene moonlight, Pei Yunxi stood by the window like a statue.

If a family had such a woman, what time would a man come home?

This question has been discussed online, and Pei Yunxi was used as an example.

Netizens were merely fantasizing, but now there's a real answer.

Which is—they wouldn't come back.

Of course.

No one can be blamed.

It was Pei Yunxi who insisted.

However, often what women say can be ignored, especially when they're in an unstable emotional state.

Actually, whether or not someone comes back doesn't matter much, whether they do or not, she'll sleep alone anyway.

Yet.

Humans have emotions and desires.

The shadow lingering by the window departed; Pei Yunxi moved to the bedside and picked up the phone from the nightstand.

Without hesitation.

Opened the contact list and dialed the number.

Not to exact revenge, merely for some twisted amusement.

Pei Yunxi even prepared what she'd say to spoil the mood, but reality never unfolds as one imagines.

"The number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."

Maybe by accident.

Pei Yunxi dialed again.

"The number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."

Interesting.

Was her attempt anticipated?

Out mingling, not answering calls, is indeed the cleanest and neatest way, but it can't solve problems, it may even worsen them.

Pei Yunxi called no more; with the goal unmet, she might even find herself more sleepless.

She tossed the phone onto the bed, then turned and left the room, descending the stairs.

"Where is Mr. Jiang now?"

The Filipino maid looked at each other in dismay.

"We don't know, Lady."

Pei Yunxi stood on the stairs.

"Then ask someone who knows."

"Lady" is quite a weighty title.

"That Boss Du and Deputy Officer Wei…"

Peace Hotel.

Xu Kuan and Wei Yi were talking.

"I only know Boss Du; we're not even close friends." Wei Yi clearly understood the implication and answered without any hesitation.

Xu Kuan nodded.

If that female boss were involved with Wei Yi, it would complicate things a bit.

To achieve their purpose, many wouldn't blink to use their own women, even their wives, but such tactics are too crude, thankfully he didn't misjudge them.

"You are too anxious; Mr. Jiang knows everything…"

Xu Kuan hadn't finished when the ringtone interrupted him.

He took out his phone and pressed the answer button.

"Speak."

After listening, Xu Kuan frowned, remained silent for a while, then said: "Got it, inform Lady that Mr. Jiang is busy right now and will contact her later."

"Mr. Xu, what's wrong?"

Wei Yi inquired.

Xu Kuan put down the phone, had a vague headache feeling, shook his head without explaining and said: "I'll go find Mr. Jiang."

Wei Yi nodded.

They hadn't left, Jiang Chen naturally was still within Peace Hotel.

Xu Kuan left the room and took the elevator to the hotel's top floor.

Not the guest rooms.

Nor the banquet hall.

The entire floor was astonishingly turned into a casino!

Gambling, drugs—are forever the quickest ways to make money, incomparable to running a hotel, no wonder Peace Hotel spend such effort.

Domestic casinos basically exist underground, but here it's out in the open, even blatantly designed on the hotel's highest floor without the slightest cover-up.

A casino operating inside Peace Hotel surely isn't a secret, visible from the traffic inside the casino, the liveliness stands firm against domestically, even surpasses it.

The gambling penchant and enthusiasm here are on a different scale from domestic.

Gambling domestically is just an interest, a pastime, but here it's a livelihood, even a path to wealth.

After dinner, Boss Jiang was invited here, the Peace Hotel owner personally accompanying, though her looks are average, Du Enqin's explosive figure still easily captivated many eyes.

At this moment, Boss Jiang sat at a baccarat table, Du Enqin sat beside him like a female companion, although not at arm-in-arm intimacy, their proximity is very close, if Du Enqin slightly turned more, or Boss Jiang exaggeratedly swung his arm, it could cause contact with the attention-grabbing peaks.

Even with the female boss personally as the companion, it seemed to have no effect on Boss Jiang's luck, or maybe luck also has cooldowns, having found Dragon Stone Type at the market during the day might have drained it, Boss Jiang hadn't played long at the table, and the exchanged chips were almost lost.

"Boss Du, did you instruct the Croupier something?"

After losing another round, chips running low, Boss Jiang began complaining.

Losing money isn't much.

It's standard in casinos.

But with the boss sitting beside and still losing, then there's something fishy.

"How could it be? Mr. Jiang, don't unjustly accuse others, the Croupier doesn't know me."

Du Enqin looked innocent.

Logically speaking.

Occasions like this should win with closed eyes, but results go against expectation, no wonder Boss Jiang is unsatisfied.

Not being treated as a VIP is manageable.

Treating as a fat sheep to slaughter is over the line.

"The Croupier doesn't know you?"

"Boss Du, when you lie, at least make it heartfelt, is this casino outsourced?"

Du Enqin innocently replied with a smile, "Mr. Jiang, Peace Hotel has many branches in Myanmar, I can't visit each one personally. If not for hosting Mr. Jiang, Mr. Xu, and Deputy Officer Wei, I wouldn't have come today."

"This explanation is more heartfelt."

"Mr. Jiang, you're so humorous."

Relationships between people need time to develop.

Compared to the initial awkwardness over drinks, now accompanying to play, Du Enqin has relaxed a lot, in jest she subconsciously patted Jiang Chen's arm, finally what should happen did happen, being so close, sooner or later friction would occur.

Du Enqin's remarkable bosom intimately touched Jiang Chen's arm, but they both are battle-hardened individuals, as if nothing happened.

The casino Croupier might really not know Boss Du Enqin, Boss Jiang's chips eventually unsurprisingly lost completely.

Three hundred thousand.

This is not a small sum in Myanmar.

Extracting this much from squeezing a piglet might produce as much oil.

"Seems like Boss Du and I are not quite aligned."

Jiang Chen seemed ready to stop.

"Don't."

Once there's the first physical contact between a man and a woman, the second follows naturally.

Du Enqin immediately grabbed Jiang Chen's arm, "Gambling isn't just about luck, but also perseverance. Did Mr. Jiang not rely on perseverance to reap the treasure in the Market today?"

"Boss Du, your information is really lively."

"I sense Mr. Jiang isn't one to quit halfway, how about this, I'll join in, whether win or lose, we'll split fifty-fifty."

This Peace Hotel owner really is quite a character, much more interesting than Jiang Chen imagined.

"Boss Du, no wonder you're a big businesswoman, winning you get a share, losing it goes into your pocket, no wonder Peace Hotel's spread all over Myanmar."

"Mr. Jiang, you're mistaken, Peace Hotel's size today is mainly because I love making friends."

Jiang Chen glanced at the hand on his arm, his expression remained normal, "Boss Du, how do you make friends?"

Unexpectedly, Du Enqin immediately withdrew her hand, with an average face, but with her expressive eyes suddenly seemed enhanced, beautifying her greatly.

"I make friends with a sincere heart."

At this moment, Xu Kuan came over, interrupting the flirt…no, just casual chat.

Taking a look at the intimately seated Du Enqin, Xu Kuan bent down, whispering something in Jiang Chen's ear.

Barely mentioned about leaving, Boss Jiang suddenly frowned.

"Let her sleep first, mind what doesn't need to be meddled with."

Out there, men care about their face, don't they?
