All Worlds Beg the Villainess to Act Like a Human-Chapter 99: Crowd-Watching the Lovestruck Brother Self-Destruct (46)

"President Gu, I’ve long admired you."

Blade had a cigarette in his mouth, with a buzz cut and a thin frame. He was surprised that Qiann Yan would come personally.

Qiann Yan’s gaze swept across the pier: "Where’s the person?"

"President Gu, what kind of joke are you making? How could the person be here? The boss has been waiting for President Gu for a long time, are you interested in playing a few rounds?"

Qiann Yan asked, "If I win ten billion from you, will I be able to take the person away?"

"Hahaha, if President Gu has the skills, you can take the person away freely. But if you lose..."

Qiann Yan’s brows and eyes were calm, showing no apprehension: "If I lose, I lose. I’m not someone who can’t afford to lose."

"Great, straightforward! No wonder you’re the remarkable young woman who took charge of the Gu Family before turning twenty." Blade praised, inviting Qiann Yan onto the ship, "President Gu, please."

"If President Gu has concerns, feel free to bring along a few people." Blade said generously, noticing that there were four or five tall and strong bodyguards standing beside Qiann Yan. Once they were on his turf, those few wouldn’t dare act recklessly.

Qiann Yan accepted gladly: "Then I won’t stand on ceremony."

Gu Jingkui hesitated, grabbing Qiann Yan’s arm: "Yanyan, let me go alone."

Qiann Yan turned back to meet Gu Jingkui’s worried eyes: "What? Don’t you want to save the person you love?"

"No..."

Qiann Yan shrugged off Gu Jingkui’s hand and stepped onto the gangplank without hesitation. Her voice, cold and devoid of emotion, drifted back like a feather brushing past Gu Jingkui’s ear: "Decide well and don’t regret it. The moment you make a choice, the outcome is destiny."

Gu Jingkui’s heart grew increasingly anxious, quickly following Qiann Yan onto the ship.

This time, it’s truly the last time. He won’t do anything to upset his sister anymore.

"Wait a minute."

Lin Shanghuai quickly ran to the gangplank, his previously indifferent face showing a slight smile: "Miss Gu, may I join you?"

"In all these years, I’ve never gambled, want to give it a try." Lin Shanghuai added, already stepping onto the gangplank, leaving no room for refusal.

"How can you go play alone? Friends are supposed to share, right?" Lin Shanghuai said as he moved to stand before Qiann Yan.

Qiann Yan raised her eyes to meet his clear yet worried gaze: "Doctor Lin isn’t busy lately? A good doctor ditching his profession to learn gambling?"

"Set sail!" Blade didn’t think Lin Shanghuai could change anything; he didn’t want to delay and risk attracting unwanted attention.

As Lin Shanghuai saw the ship leaving the pier, his heart slightly eased. He had tracked her movements, learned about Lan Yazhen’s incident, and understood why she was here.

Lin Shanghuai’s gaze swept past Gu Jingkui, his gentle eyes turning instantly cold.

Gu Jingkui dared not meet Lin Shanghuai’s gaze, hastily turning his face away. Unable to bear the oppressive atmosphere, he moved a little farther.

Lin Shanghuai sat next to Qiann Yan, lowering his voice: "You’re really not afraid of danger."

Qiann Yan turned her head: "You’re bold too, do you know what these people do? Once you’re on their turf, you’ll be at their mercy."

"Of course, I know what kind of people they are." Lin Shanghuai’s tone was indifferent; knowing this matter, he came willingly, not considering fear.

Qiann Yan felt a pang of doubt, raising her eyes to study Lin Shanghuai again, inexplicably seeing a familiar emotion in his eyes. She was somewhat startled: "Do you like me?"

Lin Shanghuai: "..."

Asking so directly, how was he supposed to answer?

Yes, he did like her, had liked her for a long time.

Lin Shanghuai restrained his expression, his whole body tense, lightly pressing his lips together: "What if I say I do."
