It’s an A again!
A deck has only four Aces, and she ended up with three. Not even an Immortal has that kind of "luck". She was bound to lose...
While Ye Xian’s mind raced with thoughts of alpacas dashing, her peripheral vision caught Jiang Wanze’s cards, a 9, a 7, and a 6, much better than hers!
If she could switch just one card with him, even just a six, maybe she wouldn’t come in last.
"Captain."
Ye Xian lowered her voice and gently nudged him with her elbow.
Jiang Wanze turned his face, puzzled, only to see her eyes blinking rapidly at him as if twitching and showing her own cards.
Jiang Wanze got her hint and pulled out a 9, placing it on the table.
"!"
Ye Xian didn’t expect him to be so generous. Just as she was about to secretly pick it up, a large hand reached out and flipped over Jiang Wanze’s card.
Ye Xian looked up and met Bo Tingdeep’s icy stern gaze. She immediately retracted like a turtle, pretending as if nothing had happened while fiddling with her cards.
Damn, what kind of Eyes of Golden Flame did this old man have to catch such a subtle exchange? Was he doing anything other than catching employees slacking during meetings?
Shangguan Yunli, "Show your cards."
"18 points!"
Cary proudly laid down his cards, "Just asking, who else?"
Jiang Wanze looked at the flipped 9, his eyes paused briefly, then he put down the remaining two cards, "23 points."
"Wow! Captain, you’re so high! There can’t be anyone higher than the captain, can there?"
Everyone else laid down their cards, and indeed no one scored higher than Jiang Wanze.
Seeing how things were going, Ye Xian felt less tense. If Jiang Wanze was the winner, the truth or dare he proposed would likely not be too harsh, definitely better than Cary and Shangguan Yunli.
Thinking, she threw down her cards, "Three Aces!"
Cary, seeing them, laughed until his stomach hurt, "Ye Xian, how did you manage to shout three aces with the vibe of three tens?"
"Confidence! Captain, I choose truth; ask away!"
"Wait!" Shangguan Yunli interrupted her, "Ye Xian, did you forget that Bo Tingshen hasn’t revealed his cards yet?"
"?"
Ye Xian looked puzzled at the cards in front of Bo Tingshen. Could his score be higher than Jiang Wanze’s? How could it be... 8, 9, 10. As the cards were revealed one by one by the man’s slender fingers, Ye Xian’s eyes nearly popped out of her head.
Damn! A total of 27 points!
This man must be cheating! What kind of luck is that!
Cary was also shocked, "Wow, CEO, you have such good luck!"
As if he had expected it, Shangguan said to Bo Tingshen, "Tingshen, you’re the winner, ask Ye Xian."
Ah?!
Ye Xian, who had just relaxed, instantly tensed up again.
CEO asking questions? With his deep schemes, the questions would surely be full of traps. If her answers did not meet his expectations, she might even face consequences afterward.
Shangguan Yunli, "Ye Xian, everyone here is an actor. If you dare to lie in your answer, you’ll drink three cups as a penalty!"
Cary, "CEO, ask her something tough, explosive, or something that will crush her ego, something she would die before she’d admit!"
Listening to each suggestion more damaging than the last, Ye Xian drooped her face, bit her cherry-pink lips, and looked towards the man across with watery, starry eyes, a face full of pitiful, helpless vulnerability.
CEO, what’s our relationship? Neighbors and dining buddies, you wouldn’t trouble me, right?
