The Divine Doctor And A Common Farmer-Chapter 182: We Yue Ning (2)_1
The few people inside the room glanced at each other, and Dong Huiying turned her head towards the direction of Taihang Gambling House.
"Hmm, looks like it’s time to collect debts."
...
At dusk, which was the busiest time for the gambling house within the day.
"Dachun, I need to go out tomorrow, so I’m leaving the house matters to you."
The female boss, Hong Xiangjun, shed her outer robe, and Zhou Dachun naturally took it and hung it up for her.
Since the last time he was taught a lesson by Hong Xiangjun, Zhou Dachun had become much wiser and dared not take his own initiatives anymore.
"Rest assured, I will take good care of everything."
"Mhm."
Hong Xiangjun nodded in satisfaction, and it was just at this moment a woman rushed in saying, "Not good, Master, that Dong Dabao is here again!!"
Hong Xiangjun was startled.
During her previous visit, Dong Huiying won a handsome amount of money from the gambling house, leaving behind a beautiful legend. Especially among the regulars of the gambling house, when they had nothing better to do, they would invariably bring up Dong Huiying as a topic of conversation.
How magically she had dominated the tables that day and how she had listened to the dice to win money became a popular gossip topic for people during idle chatter over meals.
"Why has she come?"
Hong Xiangjun was surprised for a moment, then helplessly pressed her temples.
"Let’s go, let’s see what’s happening."
...
Inside the gambling house, Dong Huiying displayed an unflappable demeanor. Behind her stood a rugged-looking man in black with a buzz cut that made him look particularly strange.
Liang Yuening stood behind her like a guardian, or more like a stake planted right at her back. He tried to look unconcerned, with his eyes on his nose and his nose on his heart, ignoring the discomfort of being gawked at, and struggled to maintain a composed appearance.
But,
it was really difficult!
"My heavens, is this really Dong Dabao?"
"I remember her being dark and full of pockmarks, pretty rough-looking."
"How did she turn into a completely different person?"
"It’s only been a little over a month, I totally can’t recognize her anymore."
"Mhm, she’s still short, but her skin is whiter and the pockmarks are gone: at a glance, she’s actually quite good-looking."
The corners of Dong Huiying’s mouth twitched.
Afterward, the onlookers turned their attention to Liang Yuening.
"This man must be her husband, right? Why does he look so strange, with such short hair? It’s my first time seeing someone like this."
"Yeah, he is quite handsome, but what’s with his expression, all twisted and grim? Looks like he has a pretty bad temper, rather fierce, huh."
Sensing the malevolent aura behind her, as if he were on the verge of drawing a knife and attacking someone, Dong Huiying sighed softly.
"Hey, you lot, have you looked your fill?"
A woman said, "Tsch, look at how stingy she is acting—do you think your man is made of paper, that we can’t even take a glance? Can we really glare holes into him?"
Dong Huiying smiled sweetly, "He’s not made of paper, it’s just that, well, my husband is so pleasant to look at. Since you all like him so much, then why not pay up? A tael of silver for a glance, and if you give me a hundred taels, you can look all day."
Suddenly, a chilly vibe shot straight towards her.
Dong Huiying was taken aback, then the corners of her mouth twitched. She turned her head to look at Liang Yuening.
She saw the young rogue with a cold face, obviously on the brink of exploding, his eyes nearly spewing fire.
She forced a dry laugh, "Hehe, hehe, Yue Ning is good-looking, of course, we can’t let people look for free."
Our Yue Ning?
He felt his breath catching in his chest.
Liang Yuening glared fiercely at her, but felt warmth creeping up his neck.
Hmph, hmph! She had a good eye, at least.
