Chapter 2006: Chapter 2007: Playing for Such High Stakes?

Gong Le curiously asked, ”Who is that person?”

Someone quietly replied, ”That’s the third son of Master Ma, he has a lot of money and often comes here to pass the time. He’s had quite good luck too.”

Third Young Master Ma saw there was a girl here and asked with a smile, ”Why is there a girl here? Who called her from upstairs?”

Everyone quickly stopped him, ”Stop talking nonsense, this is Lord Qing’s fiancée, Miss Gong. Today, Lord Qing came to the gambling den to handle some matters and brought her here to have some fun.”

Although An Yiqing is usually low-key, running such a big gambling house and having no one dare cause trouble shows that his background is very powerful. They can’t afford to provoke him.

Upon hearing that she’s An Yiqing’s fiancée, Third Young Master Ma immediately dropped his frivolous attitude and apologized, ”Miss Gong, please don’t take offense. I have always spoken foolishly.”

Gong Le just giggled foolishly.

Someone tried to ease the situation, ”Third Young Master Ma, Miss Gong just won all our money. Why don’t you play with her now? Whether you win or lose, the most important thing is to enjoy the game.”

Third Young Master Ma was surprised, ”Is Miss Gong really that good, winning all your money?”

Gong Le chuckled foolishly, ”It’s just that when luck comes, you can’t stop it. I actually lost at first.”

Someone agreed, ”Indeed, when luck comes, you can’t stop it. Brother Han was winning at first, but in the end, he lost everything.”

Everyone burst into laughter.

Brother Han felt mocked and humiliated, so he left.

”Young Master Ma, are you going to gamble or not? If not, I’m going to find Big Brother Qing to play with! There’s nothing fun here!” Seeing everyone just mocking each other and not in the mood to gamble, Gong Le felt a bit impatient.

”Gamble, gamble, gamble,” Third Young Master Ma immediately replied with a smile, ”Didn’t I come here to gamble? But, I don’t know how Miss Gong wants to play?”

”Anything is fine. I’m just playing for fun, Big Brother Qing doesn’t mind if I lose his money.”

Third Young Master Ma said, ”That’s great.” After thinking for a moment, ”How about we each roll dice, and whoever has the bigger total wins? Let’s bet a thousand taels per round?”

Betting a thousand taels per round is actually quite a lot, but after seeing bets of fifty or one hundred thousand taels earlier, it didn’t seem that much anymore.

Before Gong Le could speak, someone said, ”Third Young Master Ma, earlier, Miss Gong was betting at least fifty thousand taels per round.”

”Ah?” Third Young Master Ma was very surprised. ”Playing with such high stakes?”

Gong Le immediately laughed, ”What? Scared? Let me tell you, my luck was really good earlier. Maybe it’s still with me, so if you gamble with me, you’ll probably just lose to me.”

Third Young Master Ma also laughed, ”I’m here, so I’m not afraid to lose. My family lacks everything but money. Come on, I’ll have a good gamble with you today, fifty thousand taels per round it is. If I don’t have enough money, I can have someone fetch more from home.”

Gong Le was even happier, ”You’re much more straightforward than the others. Earlier, they lost and had no money, said they’d gamble another day. I said it’s still early, no need to wait for another day, have them go get money now and continue gambling today. Not a single one agreed.”

Everyone: ”...” This girl is truly a fool. No matter how tactless one can be, she didn’t have to embarrass everyone.

It’s really puzzling how Lord Qing ended up with such a fiancée.
