"Good stuff, indeed good stuff! Why are you hiding such a treasure?!"
Chi Mu Jiu's eyes sparkled with excitement.
The Little Prince brand spicy strips were delicious and irresistible.
"How about a private bet, my lady? I still have plenty of packs left!"
"If you win, the spicy strips are yours; if I win, the chips belong to me. What do you say?"
"Deal."
Without a second thought, Chi Mu Jiu agreed eagerly. For the sake of those spicy strips, she was all in!
They decided to play the simplest game of counting cards.
"No problem."
The little chips and spicy strips clashed together. It would all be decided in one round.
Three playing cards were dealt, and the onlookers were quite interested in this snack-themed showdown.
The first card from her opponent was a Mei Zhen.
Chi Mu Jiu flipped over her first card to reveal a Joker.
Once the lady got serious, it felt like the cards had improved significantly!
Truly, she was the gambling god of their area!
It seemed like the spicy strips were about to lose.
The opponent revealed another Mei Zhen as their second card.
Chi Mu Jiu had a little King.
"Alright, my lady. I concede; the spicy strips are yours."
The young man spoke in a calm tone, revealing an indifferent attitude.
However, Chi Mu Jiu was different. If it weren't for carrying her little treasure, she would have been so excited that she might have jumped up and down.
"Yay! Finally, I get to eat some spicy strips!"
"Madam, shall we play another round?"
When the brothers saw her putting snacks into the bag she had brought, they teased her and continued to joke around.
"No more playing, no more playing, that's enough."
Chi Mu Jiu waved her hand; she had already won too many snacks today and needed to find a place to hide them. Otherwise, it would be troublesome when Du Hengyan came around.
"Then we'll escort you, Madam. This time you must hide the things well; we can't let the boss find out. Otherwise, we brothers will have to do extra training again."
In truth, everyone had gotten used to extra training, but they just wanted to tease the Madam a bit. Ever since she arrived in the gambling area, life for the brothers had become much less dull. They now had someone to play with and a card dealer to enjoy their time with. Moreover, sometimes they could even manage to get one over on their boss, who was like a living hell.
Chi Mu Jiu did not refuse their kindness; after all, she was pregnant and at a critical moment. Having someone around for protection was naturally better. As the saying goes, "Better safe than sorry."
This was her first pregnancy, and she lacked experience, but these brothers often liked to study prenatal education books and watch parenting videos, sometimes even more diligently than she did. Du Hengyan was especially so; he always secretly learned various parenting knowledge. However, Chi Mu Jiu noticed that he spent most of his time focused on reading books about postpartum care for pregnant women online.
The weather in their country had also turned cooler. Two of the brothers escorted her to the villa area. With other brothers present in the villa area, they felt reassured and left without worry.
Chi Mu Jiu held the snacks in her hand; although it was only a small bag, her mood was extremely joyful.
As she entered through the password-protected door with a crisp click, Chi Mu Jiu hummed a little tune. The recessed lights in the living room cast a warm and cozy glow.
In the next moment, as if remembering something, she abruptly stopped humming. She had left when it was still bright outside, and she clearly remembered that the living room lights were off. Only Du Hengyan liked to turn on this warm-toned lighting when he worked in the living room.
Her palms began to sweat from fear; fortunately, there was a cabinet at the entrance blocking her line of sight.
What should I do about the snacks?
What is that lookout brother up to? Didn't he say that Du Hang would arrive later?
Spicy meatballs!
Is the lady here?
In the living room, a man's cool voice echoed.
Chi Mu Jiu froze in place.
