The two of them deliberately acted affectionate in front of everyone, with Du Hengyan seeming to enjoy the performance.
At one moment, he gently rubbed Chi Mu Jiu's little head, then held her small hand, caressing it tenderly. A moment later, he wrapped his arms around her slim waist, pulling her tightly against himself. It was a scene filled with love and tenderness.
"That's enough, you don't have to act so much," Chi Mu Jiu said shyly, giving him a gentle push.
"My lady, what are you saying? This is such an easy task; I don't even need to act," Du Hengyan replied with a playful smile at the corners of his lips.
"I want to do this for you every day," he added, lowering his voice intentionally and whispering in her ear.
Fortunately, she was wearing a mask; otherwise, her blushing face would have been seen by Du Hengyan in all its embarrassment.
At that moment, the host's voice rang out again, announcing that there was only one minute left for the stone selection and urging the guests to hurry. In the center of the exhibition hall, several small stone machines had been set up without anyone noticing.
"Du Hengyan, pick that five-thousand-dollar stone," Chi Mu Jiu whispered confidently.
Du Hengyan didn't question her reasoning; he simply chuckled lightly and selected the stone with the lowest price in the entire venue.
Meanwhile, a large screen behind the host displayed real-time updates of each guest's bids on the jade stones. When the image of that five-thousand-dollar stone appeared on the screen, everyone's gaze shifted back to Du Hengyan.
"Boss Du really dotes on his beauty!" exclaimed a gambler who had some standing in the casino, his words dripping with flattery.
The crowd's attention was focused on Du Hengyan and Chi Mu Jiu as they observed their intimate display, each person feeling a mix of emotions. Only someone as wealthy as Boss Du could afford to spend millions in a single gamble just to please his beloved.
Another gambler quickly chimed in, his face adorned with a flattering smile.
They were well aware of Du Hengyan's power and wealth, and at that moment, they certainly wouldn't miss any opportunity to flatter him.
"Indeed! Boss Du is generous."
"Boss Du knows how to have fun!"
Others chimed in, and soon, praises filled the air. These gamblers, whether sincere or feigned, were all trying to curry favor with Du Hengyan. However, Du Hengyan merely coldly remarked, "This isn't even a stone yet; why does it look like all of you want to win my money?"
His voice was not loud, but it carried a powerful pressure. The crowd was immediately silenced, unable to respond. Though they felt displeased, none dared to retort. In front of Du Hengyan, they understood their place; no one wanted to provoke this formidable figure.
"What could a worthless stone worth fifty thousand possibly reveal?" That statement could only come from Ke. His face still bore a fierce expression, his eyes filled with disdain.
Mo Boguang was sweating profusely beside him, silently lamenting. "Brother, I know you're impressive, but that's the King of Hell we're dealing with! Can you tone it down a bit? Being your gambling companion is truly bad luck."
She had taken the bait. Zhi Mu Jiu felt a surge of joy in her heart. She slightly lifted her chin, her voice melodious and respectful, yet each word dripped with irony. "Since you say so, I'm quite curious about what kind of jade you possess. Why don't you show everyone your discerning eye?"
Her words were as gentle as a spring breeze but concealed sharpness beneath the surface.
Ke was not a particularly perceptive person, and there were very few Chinese people in the room; that middle-aged man was also not by his side. Naturally, Ke couldn't grasp the deeper meaning behind her words; he only felt that he had been provoked.
Ke slammed his hand on the sofa beside him, his face contorted with anger as he shouted at the host on stage in a commanding tone, "Then let’s start with mine!"
His voice boomed like thunder, filled with fury and arrogance.
The entire gambling hall fell silent, all eyes turning to Ke, the atmosphere thick with tension and anticipation. Everyone was eager to see how this betting match would unfold, uncertain of the thrilling showdown that lay ahead.
