Capítulo 1901: Chapter 1804: Old Fox
However, Huo Sining might be able to keep a calm deanor, but that doesn’t an everyone else can be so composed. The group behind her, lovestruck, was completely enchanted by Clayflo’s slight smile.
Su Qingqing, Yue Shuwen, and Zhong Xiaoyao—these three won fell for it simultaneously, each one flushed, eyes dreamy, staring at the man before them, unable to look away. The sparkle in their eyes clearly showed hearts aflutter, almost drooling over the man right in front of everyone.
Huo Sining almost facepald, her expression utterly embarrassed, wishing she could give each of the three behind her a smack on the head. Damn, if she’d known it would be like this, she wouldn’t have brought these won along. Truly… so embarrassing!
Forcing herself to remain calm, Huo Sining still answered the man’s question in front of her:
“Not exactly. Antiques have no borders; if sothing catches my eye, I’m not confined to East or West, I’m willing to give it a try.”
Clayflo was quite surprised that Huo Sining could speak so calmly in his presence.
He was confident in his looks. Though not everyone was drawn to him, these won in their twenties and thirties usually had no resistance.
At least, over the years, he had proven this countless tis, never failing once.
Yet, this Eastern woman before him managed to maintain her composure, which made Clayflo think he might have underestimated her.
Clayflo felt intrigued and suddenly had the urge to test this woman further.
Originally, he didn’t care much about the money his sister lost, even though Semiya lost several valuable antiques he collected from him. From Clayflo’s perspective, he felt a bit heartache at most but wouldn’t dwell on it.
But now, having seen this Huaxia woman in person and finding her so unique, Clayflo suddenly wanted to delve deeper into her essence.
“If that’s the case, I wouldn’t mind extending so hospitality as a landlord. I wonder if Miss Huo would mind playing a round with ? I’ve long admired Miss Huo’s gambling skills and hope to have a chance to bet against Miss Huo.”
Upon hearing Clayflo’s words, Huo Sining’s eyes narrowed slightly, understanding dawning in her heart.
She knew this hurdle wasn’t going to be so easily overco. After Semiya lost equivalent to two hundred million US dollars in one night, how could Clayflo, as Semiya’s brother, not avenge his sister’s loss?
Huo Sining couldn’t help but mock inwardly, heh, it seems the Rothschild Family isn’t that impressive. Once you deal with the young ones, here co the older ones! If she puts this so-called Mr. Duke in his place, will their family’s ancestors have to step in too?
Thinking this, however, she was growing increasingly impatient with today’s events. Unconsciously, she turned to Gu Xu, shooting a rescue-seeking look.
Gu Xu was eager for his wife to reject this person’s request. What a joke, having Windsor Caesar as a rival was enough to trouble him, and now another Rothschild family heir erged, an attractive man always attracting attention. Gu Xu felt his position perilous, wishing to imdiately take his wife and leave.

Thus, upon receiving his wife’s cue, Gu Xu overflowed with chivalry, straightening himself and standing in front of Huo Sining, smiling at Clayflo:
“I sincerely apologize, Mr. Clayflo. My wife announced her retirent from gambling competitions after the WGC. The match with your sister today was unavoidable, so I’m afraid I cannot agree to your wager challenge.”
Clayflo’s smile remained unchanged, seemingly noticing Gu Xu standing beside Huo Sining only now, raising an eyebrow to ask: “And you are?”
Gu Xu couldn’t help but show off a smug grin, proud and boastful because he was Huo Sining’s husband:
“I’m Huo Sining’s husband. My na is Gu Xu. It’s a pleasure to et you, the Rothschild family’s heir, Mr. Clayflo.”
Clayflo wasn’t surprised at Gu Xu recognizing his identity; his eyes continued to smile, but his gaze t Gu Xu’s midair, and the air seed to briefly freeze.
After a solid two or three seconds, Clayflo nodded slowly, saying:
“Oh, it’s you. I rember; you’re the one who hacked into my JK network during the WGC and proposed live to Miss Huo in front of the world. So, you’ve officially made it. Does this make
a benefactor in your winning Miss Huo’s heart?”
Gu Xu’s skin was thick, not at all noticing the sarcasm and teasing in Clayflo’s words, feigned surprise asking:
“So JK is a Rothschild family enterprise? I really owe you an apology, Mr. Clayflo; it was unintentional. My initial intention wasn’t to hack the host’s network but to propose to my wife openly on stage. Because of urgent circumstances, I had no choice but to resort to such asures.”
Clayflo listening to Gu Xu recalled the awards ceremony, not only this Huaxia man causing a scene but also that Emperor Caesar being involved.
Clayflo’s mouth twitched, his attitude towards this man with the surna Gu warming considerably.
Yet he had a peculiar fixation on betting with Huo Sining; hearing that she no longer engaged in gambling competitions, a flash of surprise appeared in his eyes before he feigned regretfully shaking his head, saying:
“That’s truly a sha. I initially thought if Miss Huo agreed to bet with , I might reveal one or two exquisite Huaxia antiques among my collection’s centerpieces. But since Miss Huo isn’t interested, I’ll leave it at that.”
Over there, Emperor Caesar heard Clayflo’s words, his expression still blank, though inwardly he couldn’t help but sneer:
This old fox, so cunning! He wondered how it could be possible for this guy to give up so easily?
Sure enough, as soon as Clayflo spoke, the initially resolute, unmoved Huo Sining, tasked Gu Xu with full representation, suddenly halted, raising her head to look at the man before her:
“Centerpieces? Can Mr. Duke disclose a bit more?”
