Wen Nings footsteps paused, Shen Qiao hugged Jiang Yunshu, looking down at the paper cards in her hand, as if he hadnt seen her.

  Wen Ning didnt know that Shen Sicong, who was always busy like a workaholic and wouldnt even glance at his phone except for work, would actually hold a woman in his arms to play cards.

  Qiao Mu Xia and Lu Cheng Jing were familiar with each other, so they just exchanged greetings. Then Qiao introduced Wen Ning to Lu: "Mr. Lu, didnt you ask me to recommend a female fashion designer last time? This is my friend Wen Ning, shes very suitable for your companys positioning."

  Lu Chengjing glanced at Qiao Miao Xia and pulled her to the chair beside him, "Today is a private gathering, no work talk. Want to play cards together?"

  Qiao Miao Xia: "What card game are you playing?"

  Lu Chengjing said: "Shens girlfriend cant play cards, Shen taught her the simplest way to play poker."

  Qiao Moxia and Shen Sihan were not familiar with each other, but she knew Jiang Yunshu——

  Graduated from the top art academy in Europe, speaking four languages, proficient in piano, violin and other instruments, also good at painting and fashion design, with both beauty and talent, she won millions of fans as soon as she debuted.

  Officially debuted for only two months, but now almost dominating the internet, with resources so good that even first-line stars can only be envious.

  A few days ago, she was still gossiping about how Jiang Yunshu had a wealthy backer, which is why her resources were so good.

  Qiao Miao Xia stole a glance at Shen Si Han, it seems that all the rumors are true.

  "Not saying you cant bring a girl, but how come all of you have girls now?"

  Qin Mo, who had been silent all along, had his eyes fixed on Wen Ni from the moment she entered, "Miss Wen, do you know how to play poker?"

  "I know a little," Wen Ning replied.

  Qiao Miao Xia was eager to recommend Wen Ning and said, "My little lemon is the best at playing cards, whoever stands next to her will win money."

  "Really?"

  Qin Mo had already lost several rounds and now he was dealt another bad hand. He became interested and patted the seat beside him.

  Wen Ning was about to push back, but Qiao Lian pushed her forward a bit, and Wen Ning sat down beside Qin Mo.

  The game is on, and the bets on the table are stacks of banknotes.

  Wen Ning took a look at the tile in Qin Mos hand and indeed it was quite rotten, but Qin Mo deliberately added a bet and called the landlord.

  "Help me grab the landlord card, lets see if your luck is real or fake."

  Qin Mo let Wen Nai go pick up the last three cards, and Wen Nai reached out from the table to take them.

  "Awesome."

  Three cards, and Qin Mos smelly hand immediately turned into a good hand.

  Qin Mo wins without suspense.

  In the second round, Qin Mo let Wen Nai randomly draw two cards for him again, and he drew a big and small jester.

  Qin Mo didnt believe in evil, and let Wen Nai touch his cards for three consecutive rounds. As a result, every round was a good card.

  Qin Mos lips curled up in a smile, and his tone became much more intimate: "Wen Ning, has your luck always been this good?"

  Wen Ning smiled slightly, her smile was very gentle, but there was a hint of hurt in her eyes.

  If she is a lucky person, then there would be no unlucky people under the sky.

  Qin Mo looked at her smiling lightly all along, which was very pleasant to see. He casually grabbed a handful of money from the table and stuffed it into her hand.

  Warm lemon was favored and surprised, waving her hand in refusal.

  "Take it. Its a rule." Qin Mo forced it over.

  Qiao Miao Xia thought that Qin Mo had taken a liking to Wen Ning, the Qin family was also a wealthy and respected family in Haicheng, many girls wanted to cling to his thigh but couldnt even get close.

  Even if its not about romance, making friends is also a kind of social connection.

  Then Qiao Mu Xia also advised: "Lemon, take it. If you feel uneasy, design a few sets of clothes for Qin Shao later."

  Wen Ning understood Qiao Xias meaning, today she came out just to make friends and find connections.

  "Thanks a lot, Qin Shao! Whats your favorite color? Ill make two sets of clothes for you another day, dont refuse."

  Qin Mo laughed happily, "Great, I like blue."

  "When did your taste become so bad? Youre even wearing clothes designed by some street vendor designer?"

  Shens icy voice suddenly rang out, Qin Mo was taken aback for a moment, and Wen Ning didnt speak.

  "Ah Si, Ive lost so much, come and help me fight." Jiang Yunshu said coquettishly in Shen Sihans arms.

  "Good." Shen Cihan replied, picking her up and sitting her on his lap.

  "Youve all become a bunch of people who only care about being in relationships. Even when youre trying to flirt, its not like that. All the single people are dying from loneliness."

  Qin Mo smiled to ease the atmosphere: "Wen Ning, come on, help me win against Han Brother, and Ill treat you to dinner tonight."

  Wen Ning smiled slightly, "Ill try."

  Wen Ning reached out to touch the cards, and when she touched the last one, her hand had not yet fully withdrawn. Shen Shihans hand stretched over, brushing against the back of hers. Wen Ning was like touching a red-hot iron, her hand shook, and the card fell onto the table.

  Everyone else was looking at the card and didnt notice, Qin Mo picked up the card and casually asked: "Wen Ning, are you also from Haicheng No. 1 Middle School? I think Ive seen you before."

  Wen Ning thought he was just hitting on him and replied, "Yizhong is a school for the nobility, I couldnt afford to attend, Im from Erzhong. However, I do pass by the entrance of Yizhong on my way to school, so its possible that Qin Shao might have seen me at some point."

  Qiao Mu Xia never forgot to promote Wen Ning, "Wen Ning is our schools academic overlord, always the first in school every year. She also has a special talent for design, and her work at 18 years old still hangs in A Das exhibition hall today."

  Lu Chengjing heard this and laughed, saying: "Miss Wen is also a graduate of A University? Then shes an alumna with Si Han. Do you know him? Hes a freak, skipping grades to enter university at 16, dropping out at 18 because he thought it was boring, and then going back home to start his own business."

  She pinched her card, feeling inexplicably bitter in her heart, nodded slightly and said softly: "Uh, I think Ive heard of it."

  Shen Zihans expression didnt change throughout, but Jiang Yunshu looked at Wen Ning with a curious gaze, as if it was their first meeting. "Miss Wen, are you a designer? Coincidentally, I and Shen Zihan are establishing a womens clothing brand and were still missing a designer. Would you like to come to our company for an interview?"

  Shen Zihansheng threw a 3 on the table, and everyones eyes were drawn to the table.

  Wēn níng shuāi chū yī gè wáng zhà.

  Translation: Wen Ning played a rocket.

  Qin Mo burst out laughing: "Little treasure, can you fight?"

  Wen Ning joked: "Id fight you, but I dont have time for dinner with President Qin today."

  Wen Ning put down all the big cards in his hand and pinched a few small cards.

  Qin Mo laughed even louder, thinking Wen Ning was funny and adorable.

  Before long, the game was over and Wen Ning lost as expected.

  "Cant invite you for dinner, but can at least ask you to have a drink?"

  Qin Mo warmly handed over a cup of wine, and Wen Ning took it in his hand.

  "Whats your phone number? Lets play together another day." Qin Mo was obviously interested in Wen Ning, and took out his mobile phone to exchange contact information.

  Shen Sihan, who had been silent all along, cast his gaze over, Qin Mo was completely unaware, Wen Ning took out her phone and exchanged WeChat numbers with Qin Mo, clinking glasses together.

  "Thanks for Qin Shaos wine. Im going to the restroom."

  She picked up her glass and took a big gulp of wine, then turned around and left the card room.

  Qiao Mu Xia didnt feel at ease and chased after him.

  Qin Mo waved his phone at Shen Shihan and boasted: "Shes so cute, I think Ill pursue her. Brother Han, what do you think?"

  "Dont be afraid of being cheated, just chase after it."

  Shen Zihans face turned dark and he also walked out of the card room.

  ……

  "Ugh——"

  As soon as Wen Ning entered the bathroom, he immediately spat out the wine in his mouth. This one spit was like a chain reaction, and his stomach churned uncontrollably, unable to stop vomiting.

  She hastily pulled out a sour plum from her bag and put it in her mouth, only then did the feeling of nausea subside.

  "Lemon, are you okay?" Qiao Muxia asked from outside the door.

  "Im fine."

  Wen Ning opened the door and said, "Im feeling a bit unwell, Id like to head back early."

  Qiao Mu saw her face turn pale and comforted her: "Alright, you go back first. Ill discuss the cooperation with Lu Chengjing privately."

  Wen Ning and Qiao Feng were separated in the summer, just out of the bathroom, was pulled into a dimly lit private room, the whole person was pressed against the wall.

  "So infatuated with money? A few tens of thousands and youre completely bewildered." Shen Si sneered coldly.
