Lu Shaoming didn’t bother to even glance at Producer Ni. He looked to the side, fixed his bright black eyes on the girl’s “touched” face, and said gently with a smile, “How much did CEO Xu win from you earlier? Double the winnings for me, huh?”

Ning Qing looked at his handsome face as she nodded confidently. “Mm!”

Xu Junxi looked at their sweet interactions and saw how polite Zhu Rui was to Ning Qing. He was certain that Ning Qing and Lu Shaoming shared a deep relations.h.i.+p.

Heh, no wonder she rejected him and pushed him to Ning Yao so readily. It turned out that she’d found herself a rich man.

She had really done well for herself!

“Alright. Although I don’t have even one-tenth of Young Master Shao’s wealth, as long as Miss Ning has the skill, I can still afford to lose.”

…

The croupier started dealing the cards. Ning Qing had acc.u.mulated some experience from the previous games that night. She was an intelligent woman and she managed to win some money from Xu Junxi after a few rounds.

Ning Qing thought the main reason for her success was that Lu Shaoming was sitting next to her. He wasn’t next to her at the square table but their legs would touch one another. She would push him away and he’d come closer again. In the end, he extended his legs straight and conquered her s.p.a.ce. Her heart was racing and she decided to just put her legs on his.

In the corner of her eyes, she saw him purse his lips and then raised his legs slightly so her legs were hanging leisurely in the air.

Ning Qing thought of a term, the princess’s knight.

He made her feel extremely spoiled.

The two men made bigger bets. Whenever one of them was the dealer, they would each increase their bet. The card game was like a powderkeg at a bonfire.

Lu Shaoming played cards in a way that reflected his character. His strategy revealed that he was steady and wise. Every time he thought he had the winning hand, he would increase his bet a few-fold and win big.

He said that it was for her to win double what she’d lost so far, but he had already taken revenge for her. She only needed to be by his side, and she stayed under his protection in silence.

It was a great feeling.

After half an hour, Xu Junxi emptied half of his box where he stored his cash. He chain-smoked and he looked distressed.

Then, Zhu Rui walked by Lu Shaoming and muttered, “President, it’s nine. You might miss tomorrow’s meeting at Huan Ya if do not depart to the airport soon.”

Ning Qing could hear what Zhu Rui said clearly. Her heart clenched. Is he leaving again?

Lu Shaoming nodded in acknowledgement. He looked sideways and saw the girl’s gaze; she looked low spirited and reluctant for him to leave. She puffed up her cheeks slightly in an attempt to conceal her bitterness. This wasn’t enough time for either of them after being apart for half a month.

If only there hadn’t been any bystanders; he really wanted to pinch her delicate cheeks.

“CEO Xu, why not play one last game? We shall see who has higher points. Both of us place the highest bet we can and the winner takes all,” Lu Shaoming suggested.

“Sure.” With his eyebrows tightly knitted, Xu Junxi asked, “I am curious, what is the highest bet that Young Master Lu can offer?”

“How about the Guang Qing Company?”

The moment he answered, the bosses gasped as their faces changed. Xu Junxi was stunned and he found it unbelievable.

Lu Shaoming smirked and said calmly, “If I lose, I will give you the Guang Qing Company. On the contrary, CEO Xu’s bet must be… Emperor Entertainment Group. CEO Xu, do you dare?”

Emperor Entertainment Group?

Xu Junxi’s pupils contracted, it was the property of the Xu family.

Lu Shaoming leaned back in the soft sofa lazily and tapped the table with his fingers. “Why, has CEO Xu made up his mind?” Lu Shaoming gave a nod to the croupier. “Let’s begin.”

The croupier started dealing cards.

The bosses each held their breath. They never thought a simple card game would turn into a life and death battle of business so quickly. Everyone stole a glance at Ning Qing. Everyone understood that the two men were fighting over her!

Guang Qing Company? Heh, Lu Shaoming told everyone the girl was worth the price in his heart.

The croupier dealt the first card to Lu Shaoming. When the croupier was dealing a card to Xu Junxi, he waved and rejected, “I’m out.”

There were faint sighs with apathy all around.

Ning Qing looked up and saw Xu Junxi. His handsome eyebrows were tightly knitted as he smoked in distress. He looked rather decadent.

Ning Qing could understand his feelings then. As the only son of the Xu family, his career had been all smooth sailing, and he was respected. In the n.o.ble circle, the gamble between him and Lu Shaoming, no one would make fun of him if he were to lose but he didn’t dare to gamble.

It was the most silent yet the heaviest humiliation that Lu Shaoming had ever caused.

Xu Junxi has always been arrogant. This humiliation was a vital hit to him.

“Maybe CEO Xu doesn’t have the guts; then let’s forget it. Everyone, I have some other matters to take care of and I shall make a move first.”

Ning Qing had yet to rein back her gaze and the man suddenly retrieved his legs. Her legs lost balance and her heels landed on the ground heavily. She was in pain.

This man!

Ning Qing saw Lu Shaoming, who already stood up. He didn’t look quite good…

Would it be that he got angry that she looked at Xu Junxi earlier?

The bosses bid farewell to Lu Shaoming politely then Lu Shaoming walked steadily out from the private room. Ning Qing saw that Zhu Rui gave her a look before he left and her heart skipped a beat before it started racing.

She didn’t know how to say her goodbyes to the rich wives. Lu Shaoming just left and she followed behind. Mm, everyone would know where she was heading.

…

Ning Qing took a turn at the corridor and quickened her footsteps to catch up with Lu Shaoming but she suddenly stopped. Because the man that she was after stood sideways and there was a very beautiful woman next to him.

Ning Qing knew the beautiful woman. She was a famous TV host.
