The man’s expression changed, a ferocious smile playing at the corner of his mouth. “You’re playing tough.”

Mei Shu smiled coyly. “My wager is going upstairs with you. If you don’t show some sincerity, how can it be fair?”

The man’s face remained impassive as he smirked. “Alright, if you lose, don’t cry.”

With the agreement settled, they were about to start the game.

Jiang Hai watched anxiously from the side.

He wished he could just flip the coffee table, disrupting this gambling session that shouldn’t have happened in the first place. Anyway, if Miss Mei lost later, he would grab that man named Ah Chen by the collar and throw him out of the bar, giving him a good beating, so he would never dare to covet the girl Master Si liked again!

Having made up his mind, Jiang Hai took a deep breath, barely suppressing his anger, and refrained from erupting directly.

Mei Shu smiled. “You go first.”

The man didn’t bother with pleasantries. He closed the dice cup and declared, “Three sixes.”

Mei Shu raised an eyebrow, confidently giving her answer, “Four sixes.”

The man was slightly surprised. The game was all about deception.

Each person knew the exact number on their dice, and the first person to speak stated a number, then the other had to say a higher number.

The number referred to here was the total number of dice with the same number present in both players’ hands.

If the second person believed there weren’t as many dice with the same number present, they could directly open the opponent’s dice cup. If they guessed correctly, the first person lost, and vice versa.

It was a psychological battle and a high-stakes gamble.

He hadn’t expected Mei Shu to be so confident.

It seemed Mei Shu also had some sixes in her hand, and there were quite a few, just like his, which was why she was so sure.

From a probability standpoint, she had a high chance of having two sixes in her hand.

With this in mind, the man continued, “Five sixes.”

Since he dared to say it, he had some confidence!

Mei Shu didn’t know he had three sixes in his hand, so calling out five was already her limit, and she couldn’t go any higher.

After speaking, the man confidently extended his hand, pretending to be a gentleman. “It’s your turn, miss.”

Mei Shu pursed her lips and smiled. “Sometimes, I really think men are such foolish creatures.”

The man’s face changed drastically, his mouth twitching upwards viciously. “What do you mean?”

Mei Shu said, “Blind confidence and thinking with the lower half of your body, these brainless creatures actually try to dominate women in everything. Isn’t it laughable and foolish?”

“What are you trying to say?” He suddenly had a bad feeling.

But Mei Shu shouldn’t be this confident!

Could this also be her psychological tactic?

The man regained his composure, rearranging his facial expression, and calmly said, “It’s your turn. Are you deliberately stalling because you already know you’ve lost?”

Mei Shu chuckled, “Okay, since you’re so eager to die, I won’t decline.”

With that, she slowly raised her hand, delicate fingers resting on the lid of the dice cup.

The man kept his eyes on her movements, noticing that she didn’t open the cup immediately. He swallowed nervously. “Hurry up, are you afraid? We’re both unmarried, and it’s not rare to share a bed in this day and age. Move quickly; our time tonight is precious!”

His words became more vulgar, even the accompanying girl couldn’t bear it anymore and couldn’t help but advise, “Miss, maybe you shouldn’t play with him. This kind of gambling shouldn’t exist in the first place. You should leave with your friend.”

“Hey! That’s not okay! Willing to gamble and accept defeat, we agreed on that just now!” Xiao Yuan hurriedly stepped forward to stop her.

At this point, they were about to succeed. How could they let her leave like this?

She was determined to sleep with Jiang Hai tonight!

This man was a rare specimen in terms of physique, temperament, and even his face. She didn’t want to miss out!

“Yes, we already agreed. It’s unreasonable to back out now. Besides, with my status, letting you two stay at Wcndith until now is already generous. If you dare to regret it now, I won’t let you off the hook!”

The man viciously scaled off all of Mei Shu’s retreats.

The girl still had some concerns and wanted to say something, but after being glared at by the man, she obediently closed her mouth.

She couldn’t afford to offend people here, where everyone was either rich or noble.

“Just get on with it; don’t waste time.” The man looked smug.

He had raised the number to five sixes, and Mei Shu definitely wouldn’t dare to go higher. If he guessed correctly, she would be his tonight!

Mei Shu seemed to have finally figured something out.. She breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Alright, I’m really going to open it this time!”
