Hidden Marriage: A Heaven-sent Billionaire Husband

Chapter 2169 - 2169 Twins

2169 Twins

When Director Cao saw that someone had taken the initiative, he couldn’t wait to liven up the atmosphere.

Since he had spoken, Qiao Weiyang couldn’t refuse him. She said, “Alright. But let me make it clear first that I don’t play very well. If I make a mistake, please forgive me.”

Huang Meimei specially chose a game that Qiao Weiyang did not understand, but it was a very common game. She was sure that Qiao Weiyang would be rendered helpless.

“It’s okay. We don’t play well either,” Director Cao said as he shuffled the cards and set the rules.

When he dealt the cards, Su Zhuoqian said, “I don’t play well either. I’ll just watch Weiyang play.”

Director Cao tried to convince Su Zhuoqian a few more times, but Su Zhuoqian still did not participate. Finally, Director Cao began to deal the cards.

Seeing them play cards, Qiao Jierou, Lin Heng, and the others who were not participating in anything else also came to watch the match.

Qiao Weiyang really did not know how to play this game. Su Zhuoqian had never played it before either. As he adapted to the rules, he rubbed the cards.

“This one,” Su Zhuoqian said.

Qiao Weiyang held the cards. He came up to give instructions and touched Qiao Weiyang’s fingertips.

His actions looked ordinary, but they were lingering.

Even if one wanted to say something about it, it would be hard to do so as the behavior seemed normal.

In a place full of guests, their hidden love was blooming.

No one knew about the friendship between the two, but the affection between them was overflowing.

His fingertips touched her fingers gently, and a trembling sensation went straight to his heart. Then, his heartbeat reached Qiao Weiyang’s ears.

In the first round, the two of them lost completely.

Director Cao smiled and said, “Thank you for letting me win. I didn’t expect to win.”

“Those who lost, punish yourself by drinking a glass.” Huang Meimei raised her glass and drank one glass herself before gesturing for Qiao Weiyang and Su Zhuoqian to drink.

Qiao Weiyang couldn’t break the rules at this time, so she picked up her glass.

She felt warmth around her fingers, and in the next second, her glass was taken away.

She didn’t need to take a closer look to know who it was.

However, she still tilted her head and looked at Su Zhuoqian seriously.

Su Zhuoqian said calmly, “I didn’t command well just now. I’ll drink this glass of wine on her behalf.”

Under Qiao Jierou and Lin Heng’s surprised gazes, Su Zhuoqian drank the wine in one gulp.

Qiao Jierou’s expression instantly became even uglier. Su Zhuoqian had rejected her toast just now, using the excuse that he did not want to drink tonight.

And now, he had broken his own statement and drunk a glass of wine.

It was obvious that he was not giving her face!

Lin Heng also sensed this and could only hold Qiao Jierou’s hand comfortingly.

He could not ask Su Zhuoqian for an explanation over such a small matter.

At the start of the next round, Qiao Weiyang took the cards. This time, she understood the rules a little more thoroughly.

However, this time, she and Su Zhuoqian still lost.

However, she had reason to believe that Su Zhuoqian intentionally lost because he wanted to touch her fingers while they were holding the cards for a while more, not because he could not grasp the rules.

“I win this round.” Huang Meimei happily put away her cards and handed a glass of juice to Qiao Weiyang. “Cousin, I won’t let you drink this time. Just drink the juice. Mr. Su, don’t tell me you want to drink the juice on her behalf?”

Qiao Weiyang took it. However, she immediately smelled something faint in the juice.

She looked at Huang Meimei’s hand and quietly drank the juice.

Qiao Jierou subconsciously glanced at Huang Meimei as if she already knew what was going on.

From the third round onward, Qiao Weiyang and Su Zhuoqian both grasped the rules and defeated Director Cao and Huang Meimei in a row with a crushing victory.

After that, Qiao Weiyang won completely.

Director Cao was fine as he didn’t lose too many times, but Huang Meimei was a little miserable. She had a stomach full of drinks and quickly couldn’t take it anymore. “No, I can’t drink anymore.”

Qiao Weiyang smiled but didn’t say anything. Huang Meimei was the one who suggested punishing the loser by getting them to drink. Anyway, she wouldn’t take the initiative to stop the game today. It all depended on how much Huang Meimei could drink.

Huang Meimei was the one who suggested playing cards, so she was too embarrassed to say that she wanted to end the game.

If Qiao Weiyang were here alone, Huang Meimei would still dare to act shamelessly. However, Director Cao and Su Zhuoqian were also here, after all. How would she dare?

The people at the other tables stopped playing. They came over to see Qiao Weiyang and Su Zhuoqian join forces to take down everyone and couldn’t help but click their tongues in wonder.

Director Cao smiled and said, “Weiyang, Mr. Su, are you sure you guys didn’t know how to play in the past? It doesn’t look like it at all. Could it be that you’re wolves in sheep’s clothing?”

“Director Cao, this is indeed my first time playing,” Qiao Weiyang replied with a smile. “It just goes to show how powerful Mr. Su is.”

“Mr. Su is really amazing!” Director Cao smiled and played his cards.

At that moment, Su Zhuoqian’s phone rang, and he picked it up. “Excuse me.”

After he left, everyone continued to play.

Su Zhuoqian swiped the answer button and heard Lu Mingjue’s anxious voice from the other end of the line. “Boss, did you see the screenshot that I sent to you on WeChat?”

“Wait a minute.” Su Zhuoqian opened WeChat and saw the screenshot. After zooming in, the contents of the trending searches appeared in front of him.

His eyebrows drew together.

“Have you seen it?” Lu Mingjue asked over the phone. “What’s the situation on Sister-in-law’s side? I don’t know anything now, so I don’t dare to casually do public relations for fear of making things worse. But this matter needs to be handled quickly. If it’s done any later, it’ll be too late.”

“Let’s lower the trending searches first. I’ll deal with it immediately.” Su Zhuoqian put away his cell phone, raised his fingers, and pressed the space between his eyebrows.

However, he was not very worried. He trusted Qiao Weiyang’s character a lot. She would never do such a thing.

In the room, Huang Meimei was still playing cards. However, under Qiao Weiyang’s defense and counter-attack, she lost even more and more badly.

“Drink it.” Qiao Weiyang pushed the drink in front of her.

Huang Meimei’s face was pale. Her stomach was churning from drinking too much. She could not drink anymore. After drinking this glass, she covered her mouth and rushed to the bathroom.

Qiao Weiyang shuffled the cards unhurriedly, and Director Cao gave her a thumbs up. “I couldn’t tell at all. Your learning ability is quite strong.”

Su Zhuoqian came back and sat down. Qiao Weiyang could clearly feel that his aura was a little heavy.

She whispered, “What’s the matter?”

“Check your phone,” Su Zhuoqian said calmly.

Qiao Weiyang took out her phone and glanced at it. Su Zhuoqian had already told her what had happened on WeChat.

She also saw the trending news.

Qiao Weiyang glanced around and met Qiao Jierou’s gaze.

Qiao Jierou looked at Qiao Weiyang calmly as if she did not know anything.

Then, Qiao Weiyang turned to look at Huang Meimei, who had gone to the bathroom. With that, she had some understanding of the situation.

She replied to Su Zhuoqian on WeChat before putting away her cell phone.

After receiving her message, Su Zhuoqian’s expression wasn’t as serious anymore.
