Arriving at the foot of her building, Ruan Jianglin still didn't call out to her, staring at the woman's face for a long time.

  She has lost some weight compared to before, probably because she doesn't eat rice while abroad, and now there's hardly any meat on her bones.

  As her gaze fell, her slender swan-like neck was exposed outside the collar of her cheongsam. Ruan Jiang glanced at it briefly before withdrawing his gaze.

  The rain outside had slowed down, he lightly opened the car door and stood outside smoking a cigarette.

  Jiang Yan woke up before it was over.

  Look at that person leaning against the car body smoking, she got off the bus and opened the door, which made Ruan Jiang Lin notice her.

  His voice was somewhat hoarse, "I'm awake."

  "Uh-huh, I'm leaving." She looked at him and only now noticed that his eyes were somewhat dark and sunken, probably from another all-nighter.

  He was like this before, once he started working, he would work himself to death, and he didn't lack money either, why bother doing it this way.

  But now that I'm working myself, I've found it's not as easy as she thought.

  Ruan Jiang slightly nodded and watched her back as she walked away.

  It wasn't until Jiang Yan's bedroom light came on that he drove away.

  *

  Ruan Jianglin's first pursuit of someone was nothing more than being well-fed and well-watered, but there wasn't much substantial progress either.

  Ye Chen originally gave him a few ideas, but that person couldn't even get his own family affairs straight, and Ruan Jianglin didn't listen to his nonsense commands either.

  I just think it's fine this way, at least Jiang Yan is within his controllable range.

  But she has no fixed work schedule and often leaves for a month or more at a time, sometimes half a month, sometimes several months, and she never told him.

  Once Jiang Yan was going to Macau, Ruan Jiang also went with a thick face.

  Thanks to Mr. Ruan's good fortune, her economy class was upgraded to first class.

  She turned around and said, "Ruan Jianglin, or else I'll have you following me every time I go out."

  So she saved another sum of money, but she was just joking anyway.

  He pulled her twenty-inch boarding case, and softly went "uh-huh".

  She didn't bring much luggage, just a lot of equipment, all of which was checked in.

  Two days ago she went out with a team that arrived later to take seascape photos and ignored Ruan Jianglin.

  However, Liang Nuo's eyes were sharp and she recognized Ruan Jianglin at a glance.

  No wonder others know him, he was either entering hotels with this movie queen back then or sailing out to sea with that young model.

  That day, Liang Na caught Jiang Yan's sleeve in the hotel corridor and said softly: "Sister Jiang, I take back what I said earlier. Otherwise, you think about it. I heard that their family is very complicated. You'll definitely have a lot of trouble if you marry into their family."

  The words had just been spoken when they coincidentally bumped into Ruan Jianglin. Liang Na plucked up the courage to take a glance.

  The first impression is that he looks more handsome than in photos, and the second impression is that she was scared to death.

  No one dares to say anything bad anymore, they grab their cameras and run away.

  As if afraid others didn't know she just said something bad.

  "Look at you, how scary you look, you scared the little girl away." She gazed at Liang Na's fleeing back and smiled with a raised lip.

  Ruan Jianglin scribbled with one hand, his expressionless face opening slightly: "This afternoon, our cooperative partner invited me to Venice, want to go together and show some respect?"

  He is indeed good at finding cooperative partners everywhere.

  In the past when they were in America, Haruki's boyfriend took them to the Venetian Casino in Las Vegas, just to take a look and broaden their horizons, not to gamble with assets.

  Coming to Macau, how can you not go to the Venetian to gamble a few rounds, but with Jiang Yan's assets, I'm afraid she can't even get on the poker table.

  Since Ruan Jiang had invited her with great enthusiasm, she couldn't decline politely anymore.

  Macau is a "gambling city", and among them, the largest casino is the Venetian Casino, which is luxurious and visible.

  Some people say that the air there is filled with the scent of gold.

  When Jiang Yan went in, it could be said that the rumors were true.

  The hall was carpeted with thick carpets, and Jiangyan felt a bit hypoxic as soon as he entered. It must be that the smell of money was too strong, mixed with some perfume.

  On a table full of wealthy people from all over the world, who would be inferior in terms of wealth?

  Jiang Yan came here for the first time and didn't know the way at all. On the contrary, Ruan Jianglin was familiar with the road and knew where to ask the service staff for directions.

  He led her through the hall, all the way in, to the VIP room, next to which stood a security guard, with a golden sign that read "No entry for unauthorized personnel".

  Jiang Yan previously went to Las Vegas and there were girls wearing more revealing clothes, but not here, probably because the management is stricter compared to foreign countries.

  He led her to sit down, and she couldn't understand anyway, only seeing the stacks of chips on the table constantly moving.

  She had always been unable to understand these things. In the past, when Ruan Jianglin and Ye Chen made an appointment for a game of cards, she couldn't understand it either.

  Just when I finally understood a bit, Ruan Jianglin changed his trick again.

  He seems to be on a roll, and the man sitting across from him looks like he's going to lose for sure.

  This kind of thing always has an inexplicable bad luck, once the momentum is lost, it's hard to win again and will only lose repeatedly.

  Besides her sitting next to Ruan Jiang were his collaborators who had just exchanged greetings.

  They all seem to understand it, except for Jiang Yan.

  However, she was clever and after watching them play for a few rounds, she had some ideas.

  Ruan Jianglin looked at her lazy appearance and reached out to touch her chin. Jiang Yan slapped his hand away.

  "Want to try?" he asked in a challenging tone.

  "Are you going to take responsibility for losing?" She raised her eyes and looked at him.

  She can't afford to gamble like this, although she doesn't know how much money those chips are worth, but in any case it's more than she'll make in her lifetime.

  "Of course."

  He played his card, letting Jiang Yan try.

  With his words, Jiang Yan didn't show any weakness either, after all it was his money.

  She actually can, the man opposite her doesn't seem to have good luck at gambling, she just needs to use a bit of brain and she'll win.

  She went all-in and pushed all her chips to Ruan Jianglin.

  She just didn't want Ruan Jianglin to win, and a good hand was ruined by her.

  The secretary brought by the cooperative partner wanted to speak up, but was scared back by a glance from Ruan Jiang.

  Jiang Yan used just one round to make the man lose all his chips, but she had no idea how much money it was, nor did she have any concept of it.

  Anyway, it should be a lot, because looking at other people's eyes makes me feel quite sorry.

  The opponent probably didn't expect to turn the game around in one round either. In his heart, he was probably laughing at Ruan Jianglin for letting a silly girl come up to the table.

  Her opponent was a foreigner who seemed to be from France, and she shouted at her: "Imbecile!"

  She didn't understand what the man said, but winning is always happy.

  However, Jiang Yan felt that Ruan Jianglin understood, and she asked Ruan Jianglin.

  "He's praising you for being clever."

  It seemed like everyone thought she was ill, even the customs officer couldn't help but glance at her.

  Then she leaned towards Ruan Jianglin and asked, "Did you lose a lot?"

  Ruan Jiang Lin didn't say anything and stroked her hair instead.

  Jiang Yan saw Ruan Jiang didn't care about his own money, and suddenly felt it wasn't worth it.

  That night, people said that Ruan Jianglin was in the Venetian Casino in Macau, throwing away thousands of dollars, what a lavish gesture.
