Chapter 607: Chapter 626 I Don’t Know How to Play
"Yingying!" a man’s magnetic voice rang out from behind.
Li Yifei and Xu Yingying both turned around and saw Xu Yingying’s senior "brother" Cao Bin, dressed in a sharp suit, smiling, displaying quite a bit of charm.
A smile also appeared on Xu Yingying’s face as she said, "Brother Cao, you’re here too."
Cao Bin nodded and replied, "Yes, didn’t they say there was a charity auction? Of course, I have to participate and contribute my bit."
"Brother Cao’s ideological realm is indeed high."
Only then did Cao Bin turn his head toward Li Yifei, saying, "Looks like you’re following your wife’s lead here."
Xu Yingying quickly said, "We’re on holiday, so we decided to play together."
Cao Bin gave Li Yifei a slight smile and said, "You’re lucky to have married Yingying." Although the words were accompanied by a smile, the remark was clearly disrespectful to Li Yifei.
Li Yifei responded with a faint smile, "That’s right, he who acts first gets, he who acts late misses out."
Cao Bin laughed and said, "That’s not necessarily true. For an outstanding woman like Yingying, married or not, there will be many who like her."
Xu Yingying felt sowhat awkward, as she clearly understood Cao Bin’s intentions. However, due to their business cooperation and the fact that Cao Bin hadn’t done anything too overboard, she couldn’t just fall out with him. Yet, with the way he was speaking now, she was worried that Li Yifei would be annoyed, so she quickly linked arms with him. At this mont, Li Yifei had already said, "Of course, it’s only natural. If no one pursued my excellent wife, wouldn’t that an I have no eye for quality?"
"Daddy, Mommy, can we go play now?" Little Yifei ran over and grabbed Xu Yingying’s hand.
Xu Yingying imdiately said, "Sure, Daddy and Mommy will take you down to play right away."
Cao Bin’s face changed as he looked at Little Yifei, asking, "Yingying, is this your child?"
Xu Yingying smiled slightly, "Yes, this is the child of Yifei and ."
"But... didn’t you just get married not long ago?"
Li Yifei laughed, "Who says you can’t have kids without getting married? We had the child first, then got married."
The corner of Cao Bin’s mouth twitched, but he quickly regained his genteel deanor, saying, "I apologize for the oversight. Had I known you brought a child, I would have brought a gift for your daughter. Oh, right, there’s a store downstairs. Little friend, would you like Uncle to take you to buy sothing fun?"
Little Yifei blinked and said, "I can’t. Mommy and Daddy told
not to go with other boys, aren’t you a boy?"
Cao Bin’s face went green, while Li Yifei and Xu Yingying tried to hold back their laughter. Xu Yingying quickly said, "Yifei, don’t talk nonsense."
Little Yifei imdiately tugged at Xu Yingying’s hand, saying, "Mommy, let’s go play."
"Alright!" Xu Yingying gave Cao Bin an apologetic smile and said, "We’re going to play now. We’ll chat with you later, Brother Cao."
Cao Bin nodded, watching Li Yifei and Xu Yingying leave with Little Yifei, and couldn’t help frowning. However, he soon noticed that there were several beautiful girls walking with Li Yifei and the others, laughing and chatting rrily, each of them extrely attractive. After joking with each other, Little Yifei ran over to talk to them, clearly with Li Yifei’s group.
This only confused Cao Bin further. Xu Yingying had ntioned having a husband, which he hadn’t believed at first, but upon investigating, he found out she really did marry Li Yifei. However, he was unaware that Xu Yingying also had a child, and he hadn’t taken Li Yifei, the lowly security guard, seriously. An excellent person like Xu Yingying living a lifeti with a lowly security guard seed impossible, there must be a problem that led her to be with Li Yifei. If he could just find the issue, he still had a chance to win her over.
But now, discovering that Xu Yingying had a child suggested that her relationship with Li Yifei, the security guard, was quite good, which made him very uncomfortable. How could a re security guard win Xu Yingying’s heart?
By this ti, Li Yifei and the others had already started to descend. To make Little Yifei happy, they would need a place with lots of activities. The cruise ship not only had an amusent park specifically for kids but also various entertainnt facilities. Although these weren’t as nurous as outdoor amusent parks, they were still enough to keep Little Yifei very happy.
The little girl switched from playing video gas to crawling through slides, and after a while, she ran to the ball pit to have fun, thoroughly enjoying herself.
Su Yiyi stayed close to them, and Chu Xiaoyao, like a child, played happily with Little Yifei.
With so many things to do here, one could play for a whole day without any issues. However, it seed like a waste of ti for Li Yifei and the others to stay here the whole day.
In the end, only Su Yiyi and Chu Xiaoyao stayed behind to accompany Little Yifei, while the adults went to explore other parts of the cruise ship.
The ship boasted a movie theater, but watching a movie now seed a bit wasteful. Going to the bar for a drink was also too boring, so everyone ended up at the performance venue, where magic and acrobatics were being showcased. The perforrs were no ordinary individuals; they were world-renowned masters of performing arts, which made for a spectacular show.
After watching a performance, everyone wandered over to the casino. Although gambling wasn’t exactly comndable, it seed to offer quite a bit of fun in this setting.
They were just there for a bit of amusent, but Xu Shanshan beca so interested that she wanted to try everything and refused to leave.
Xu Yingying, not wanting to leave Xu Shanshan alone, said to Li Yifei, "Honey, you stay here with Shanshan, and we’ll go wander around soplace else."
Li Yifei readily agreed. At that mont, Su ngxin also said, "I’ll stay too. You guys go have fun."
Xu Yingying, Michelle, He Fangqing, and ng Xiaofei were all uninterested in gambling, so they continued their tour elsewhere. Without Xu Yingying around, Xu Shanshan imdiately grabbed Li Yifei’s hand, urging, "Brother-in-law, let’s have a good ti and win
so money, okay?"
"Win money for what? Are you short on cash?" Li Yifei asked with a smile.
Xu Shanshan gave Li Yifei a look and said, "Of course, I’m short on cash. You and my sister don’t give
any spending money, and my own salary is barely enough for my expenses!"
Li Yifei broke into a sweat at her words. Xu Shanshan’s complaint made it sound like he and Xu Yingying were mistreating her. However, since he started managing her finances, he really hadn’t asked Xu Shanshan if she had enough money, and considering her extravagant spending, her funds were probably insufficient. He realized this was sothing he should ponder on more in the future.
In the casino, one could play against the house or against other patrons. Li Yifei wasn’t confident against the professional dealers, since he hadn’t practiced, but playing against average folks with his eyesight and quick hands, his chances of winning were quite high.
While Li Yifei was deciding what to play, he noticed Cao Bin walking in. Cao Bin had just arrived and had spotted him, making his way over.
"Junior Sister, do you like playing this too?" Cao Bin hadn’t noticed Xu Shanshan, Xu Yingying’s sister, at first. Upon seeing Xu Shanshan now, he mistook her for Xu Yingying. Even though he felt her clothes had changed, it wasn’t unusual for soone to change clothes on the cruise.
Xu Shanshan had seen Cao Bin talking to Xu Yingying earlier and knew that this senior of her sister was quite interested in her. Although he was handso, Xu Shanshan was not remotely interested; to her, no matter how attractive a man might be, he was absolutely not allowed to lay a finger on her sister. If her sister were to suffer any disadvantage at the hands of another man, it would be as if she herself had been virtually assaulted, so she deeply detested Cao Bin.
Linking arms with Li Yifei, Xu Shanshan smiled sweetly at Cao Bin, "I’m not that into it either, but my husband enjoys a few hands, so I’m just here to accompany him."
Cao Bin felt a twinge of discomfort seeing how intimate Xu Shanshan and Li Yifei were, even knowing that such affection was normal between husband and wife. Xu Yingying was his target, and it was painful for him to watch her being close to another man.
But Cao Bin, with his excellent composure, replied with a slight smile, "That’s perfect; I like to play too. We can play together then."
Xu Shanshan’s eyes lit up, "That would be great. My husband might like to play, but he’s not the best at it. Brother Cao, make sure you take good care of my husband."
Cao Bin laughed heartily, "Of course, for my junior sister’s sake, I must look after my brother-in-law. We have Golden Flower here; does my brother-in-law know how to play?"
Li Yifei appeared puzzled and replied, "I’ve only played Landlord Fight before. How does this work?"
Cao Bin looked at Li Yifei with confusion and asked, "You really don’t know?"
"Honestly, I don’t," Li Yifei shrugged, "Can I learn? It’s just for fun. Besides, with Brother Cao here, you wouldn’t cheat , right?"
Cao Bin chuckled and responded, "Of course not." But inwardly, he was thinking, "I’m going to fleece you; let’s see how you explain losing money later."
Su ngxin was silently amused, liking Li Yifei’s prowess and enjoying this bit of mischief.
At that mont, Xu Shanshan winked at Li Yifei, and he squeezed her hand in return. With that, Xu Shanshan felt confident, realizing Li Yifei was willing to pretend ignorance. Now was her chance to seriously exploit Cao Bin. The thought of making a substantial amount of money soon, while embarrassing that annoying guy, thrilled her even more.
