Chapter 367: Aren’t You Here To Mess Things Up?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In her own live broadcast room, Lin Wan learned about Li Yanchen’s whereabouts from the comments.
To be precise, she learned about their “activity.”
Lin Wan called Li Yanchen.
The man on the other end of the line saw the number, and his frowning face relaxed. “Wanwan, I’m at Su Wei’s place.”
“You’re playing Mahjong?” Lin Wan sounded displeased.
Li Yanchen felt uneasy. For many people, Mahjong was like gambling. Even if it didn’t involve money, they were still playing it. Lin Wan sounded disappointed.
Although he was a workaholic, he had two competent assistants by his side who updated him with the latest news. He knew about families being torn apart because of card games.
Li Yanchen’s hand froze as he drew the tiles.
“After this round, I’ll come back.”
Although he knew that Lin Wan wasn’t the type to lose control of her emotions, what if she appeared here and flipped the table to end the game?
“I’m on my way to find you.”
Li Yanchen gritted his teeth helplessly. He got up. “Sorry, everyone. I have to go.”
The other three could guess why Li Yanchen suddenly wanted to leave. It was undoubtedly because of the phone call he had just received.
“After this round, we can all go,” said Zheng Kuo.
“Wanwan is on her way here. I’m afraid she…”
“Let’s finish this round quickly. It’s almost done anyway.”
Under their persuasion, Li Yanchen reluctantly agreed.
While the Mahjong continued, Li Yanchen felt restless. He recalled Lin Wan telling him how the ladies of Royal Water Bay always invited her to play Mahjong, but she always refused. He assumed she disliked the game.
He could only hope for the best.
Lin Wan jogged all the way to Su Wei’s place. She saw Li Yanchen with his face covered in sticky notes.
Li Yanchen thought that Lin Wan had run all the way and assumed she must be furious.
When he saw his wife, Li Yanchen turned to look at her and flashed her a dazzling smile. “My wife!”
Lin Wan didn’t say anything. She shook her head. “Move aside.”
Li Yanchen hesitated for a moment as though begging her silently not to flip the table over.
“Move aside, will you?” Lin Wan said.
“Wanwan…”
“Can I replace Li Yanchen for a while?” Lin Wan asked the others.
Li Yanchen was shocked. ‘Aren’t you here to mess things up?’
“Of course. Mr. Li’s face is already covered with sticky notes. There is no space for more. You can replace him. I want to see if he is just unlucky or really bad at the game.”
Li Yanchen was surprised at first, and then he felt relieved. He felt a little ashamed to think that someone like Lin Wan would make a scene. She didn’t do crude things like flipping the table or throwing the tiles. She wasn’t like that.
Li Yanchen obediently gave up his seat.
Lin Wan glanced at the tiles Li Yanchen had in his hand and sighed. Li Yanchen had also formed a winning hand and was waiting for a tile. He was waiting for a Five of Bamboos.
Lin Wan finally understood why there were so many sticky notes on Li Yanchen’s face.
Dealing with this mess wasn’t a big deal, but Lin Wan just hoped that no one would declare a win before she could put things right.
Li Yanchen sat beside her. From the way she confidently sat and looked at his tiles, he realized that Lin Wan might actually be skilled in Mahjong. Maybe she refused to play with the other ladies because she disliked the game and not because she couldn’t play.
‘Did Wanwan come to avenge me because I was losing so miserably?’
Li Yanchen was touched. Lin Wan couldn’t bear to see him being beaten so badly.
Lin Wan couldn’t remember where she had learned to play Mahjong. In her original world, she hadn’t really played it before, but she would occasionally play it on her phone when she was bored.
Su Wei and the others were a little shocked. Lin Wan’s way of playing the game was a bit bold.
Su Wei recalled his mother saying that Mahjong experts were mostly found in the Circle of Madams.
Lin Wan was also a member of the group. Huo Meijun often went to play Mahjong with them. When it came to Mahjong, the women were usually very skilled. The men were only average.
Huo Meijun had originally been watching her grandson in Xiao Yi’s livestream room. When she saw someone mention in the comments that Su Wei was playing Mahjong and Lin Wan had come to Li Yanchen’s rescue, she switched to her son’s livestream room.
Her grandson was cute, but Mahjong was different. No one could resist the temptation of watching a good game of Mahjong. Huo Meijun was obsessed with Mahjong.
Lin Wan glanced at the tiles that had already been discarded on the table and realized that the Five of Bamboos was gone! Hadn’t Li Yanchen even noticed?
She wanted to break apart the Four and Six of Bamboos, but after a round, she realized that at least two players might be waiting for those two tiles.
In the end, she discarded her own winning tile.
Li Yanchen wanted to say something but held back. He needed just one tile to win, but the way Lin Wan was playing, he might not win at all.
Su Wei initially thought that Lin Wan was like him, waiting for the Three and
Five of Bamboos. With the Five of Bamboos already gone, and one Three of Bamboos left, both he and Li Yanchen were waiting for the same tile. If he declared a set, it was highly likely that Lin Wan would win by self-draw. So, he kept quiet.
Su Wei was on high alert against Lin Wan. In the end, Zheng Kuo won by self-draw.
When the tiles were revealed, Su Wei looked at the tiles in Lin Wan’s hand.
“Did you call the Five of Bamboos? Wasn’t it already gone?” the man asked incredulously.
“Weren’t you waiting for the Three of Bamboos along with Mr. Li?” Xiao Tianlin hadn’t expected it.
Li Yanchen was speechless. How was it that he was the only one who didn’t know that the Five of Bamboos was gone?
Lin Wan looked at Li Yanchen. Indeed, he couldn’t even remember the tiles properly.
“Lin Wan plays better than you.” Zheng Kuo felt that Lin Wan was really skilled.
Huo Meijun liked Lin Wan even more. Where could she find such a likable daughter-in-law?
If only there was another Lin Wan!
Huo Meijun slapped her thigh in frustration.
Lin Wan lowered the zipper of her down jacket. The first round was a bit fiery, but the second round was where she would showcase her skills.
Li Yanchen pulled up a chair and sat down. He really hadn’t expected his wife to be an expert.
Xia MO prepared some afternoon snacks and went to Su Wei’s house..
