Chapter 472: The Unspoken Rules of the Casino on the Yacht

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

After sitting in the room for a while, Wen Xinya began to feel a little bored. Si Yiyan held her hand and said, “I’ll take you downstairs for a walk. The activities are interesting.”

It was Wen Xinya’s first time attending a yacht auction. Hence, she felt a sense of novelty and headed downstairs curiously together with Si Yiyan.

After making several turns, Wen Xinya heard a sudden wailing, after which she saw the colorful bead curtains. She was greeted with the sight of a new world.

“This is the casino,” Si Yiyan said while leading Wen Xinya towards the casino.

Although it was not exactly spacious, it was extremely opulent and filled with several gambling tables. The suave waiters and pretty waitresses were all weaving through the crowd and serving drinks.

Almost every gambling table was filled with guests, including several prestigious and influential nobilities who were usually mysterious and kept a low profile. They all had female companions, some of whom were whispering gently and smiling beautifully while others were gambling. Wen Xinya truly had an eyeopener.

Si Yiyan stared at her glistening eyes and said with a smile, “Would you like to give it a try?”

Wen Xinya’s eyes lit up and she said, “I’ll take the profits and you’ll bear the losses.”

“Alright! Go ahead and gamble however you’d like,” Si Yiyan said while kissing her affectionately. He then summoned a waitress who was in her twenties and gave her some instructions before saying to Wen Xinya, “Go ahead and have some fun. I have something to attend to. I’ll go look for you later.”

Wen Xinya nodded and followed the waitress to a room that was partitioned by the pearl curtain.

Staring at the blue and white porcelain plate on the table, Wen Xinya decided to play a game of dice since it was the only thing she knew.

The banker was a sultry woman who looked feisty and had a killer figure. She gently tapped on the porcelain goblet, her slender fingers appearing tender and soft. She shook the goblet in her hands with finesse. Although it was a tacky action, she made it seem alluring and effortless.

Wen Xinya listened to the crisp sounds of the dice moving in the goblet and knocking against each other, only to realize that it was impossible to tell the numbers on the dices just by listening to the sounds of the dice, unlike what was portrayed in the movies.

Finally, the banker placed the goblet upside down on the table and said, “Place your bets!”

Before Wen Xinya could even answer, a voice sounded from behind her. “Small!”

Greatly taken aback, Wen Xinya turned around to see that there was a man who appeared to be in his twenties behind her. His hair was unkempt and he was dressed in a purple shirt with his tie messy and untidy. He looked extremely forlorn yet sexy and charming.

The man lit up a cigarette and took a puff gently. He then placed his hand on the chair that she was sitting on. It was an extremely flirtatious action.

Wen Xinya frowned slightly and cocked her head towards the side to dodge the fumes of smoke. She did not want to get into trouble, for Si Yiyan was not by her side at the time. She kept her eyes fixed on the banker and exclaimed, “Big!”

The banker opened the goblet and yelled, “One, two, four, small!”

Wen Xinya felt a little dejected.

The man beside her gloated and said, “See, you would have won if you took my advice and bet on small.”

Wen Xinya frowned and began racking her brains for a solution to make the man leave. A pair of slender and jade-like hands pushed all the chips in front of her towards the banker. A cold voice sounded beside her, “We’re betting on big this time!”

Si Yiyan!

Wen Xinya’s lips curled into a smile.

She turned around and stared at the charming and suave Si Yiyan.

“What are you looking at?” Si Yiyan asked in a voice that was as cold as snow. Si Yiyan then picked her up in his arms and placed her on his lap while holding her in his embrace.

Wen Xinya stared at Si Yiyan, who pressed his thin lips together with a sullen expression. Knowing that he was infuriated, she said in exasperation, “I was trying to see if a man who was here just now had left yet. If he hasn’t, I’ll give him a tight slap.”

Si Yiyan smiled and teased. “You little seductress.”

“You’re not angry? You green-eyed monster!” Wen Xinya teased, batting her eyelids at him.

Si Yiyan had no choice but to say, “There aren’t any laws or morals here. That man just now had set his sights on you and he was intentionally trying to provoke you. He’ll then take the chance to invite you for a gamble. Then, you’ll definitely agree because you want to chase him away. Once you agree and lose, he’d be able to make you agree to his requests which would definitely be within your means. You won’t be able to turn down any of his requests. This is an unspoken rule of the industry. Even I can’t break this rule.”

Wen Xinya finally realized that every little action was full of schemes and tricks. Although she wanted to stay away from trouble, she did not understand the rules at all. Had that man invited her to a gamble, she would have definitely agreed.

“I was wrong. I shouldn’t have let you stay here alone,” Si Yiyan said while kissing her sideburns and her lips gently.

“I’ll be careful from now on,” said Wen Xinya, who felt a little uncomfortable to be behaving intimately with him in public. She scanned her surroundings to see that there were lots of people staring at them.

Si Yiyan whispered into her ear, “I’ll accompany you from now on.” After planting a kiss on her lips, he said, “Don’t be shy. You’re wearing a mask anyway. Others can’t recognize you.”

Wen Xinya felt much calmer after hearing his words. She scanned her surroundings again to see that there were lots of men behaving intimately with their female partners too. Hence, she and Si Yiyan were behaving normally. She reckoned that they were staring at her because of Si Yiyan.

The banker opened the goblet and exclaimed, “One, two, three, small!”

“Ah, it’s small again!” Wen Xinya exclaimed in dismay.

Although her expression was concealed beneath her mask, Si Yiyan could still tell from her eyes that she was extremely dejected. He said, “I’ll give you a lucky kiss and let you win!”

“Really?” Wen Xinya asked apprehensively, knowing that gambling required more luck than technique.

Pretending to be serious, Si Yiyan said, “Of course it’s real. Gambling is all about luck.”

Everyone wanted to win in gambling and Wen Xinya was no exception. Hence, she leaned towards Si Yiyan and planted a kiss on his lips.

Si Yiyan actually began his winning streak, as if Lady Luck was smiling at him.

Staring at the chips which were piling up in front of her, Wen Xinya began counting them like a money-grubber would.
