I Married the Male Lead of a CP-free Novel

Chapter 48 — Golden Flower

The game began.

Zheng Ye dealt the cards.

Wen Yu kept raising the bet since he got his cards, Wen Yiran kept up, and An Qinru gritted her teeth and also kept up.

After a few chips, some people looked at their cards and left the game one after another.

The wine glasses had been changed to small glasses, but ten glasses of wine were almost the same as a bottle. The cards weren’t good and there were two more rounds to go, some people were afraid so they didn’t carry on, they left before it was too late.

“Raise.” Wen Yu continued to raise the bet, he stared closely at Wen Yiran and An Qinru with a sharp expression.

An Qinru gritted her teeth: “Call.” (t/n: match opponent’s bet)

Soon, only the three of them were left on the table, and even Xu Jiahong withdrew at the two-bottle mark. After filling silently two bottles of wine in front of everyone, they stood quietly by the side and continued to watch the follow-up.

Everyone gathered together and looked at them.

Each and every one of their faces were full of distress.

The chips soon increased to sixty glasses, six bottles of wine, An Qinru had already drunk a bottle before, and now her face was somewhat white.

She looked at the cards.

“Aiya, don’t play too big, leave early, you shouldn’t play like this with this hand.” Someone said.

– The end of this hand was due and they were afraid that something was going to happen.

After An Qinru heard this, she glanced at Wen Yu on the opposite side. He was also looking at her. His eyes were completely different from the gentleness he showed when looking at Chi Zhengzheng. At this moment, he looked at her with mockery and indifference.

She trembled all over as if she had locked eyes with a fierce tiger, and her hair stood up.

“Call!” She gritted her teeth.

Wen Yu also looked at the cards, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he increased the bet to seventy.

Seven bottles of wine!!!

An Qinru’s face turned completely white. No one said anything at the scene, everyone looked at her, waiting for her to speak.

She was silent for a while and let out a long breath before saying in a hoarse voice: “No more calls.”

Wen Sisi, who was next to her, immediately opened six bottles of wine, choosing the strongest ones, and placed them in front of An Qinru, with a smile at the corner of her mouth: “Drink up.”

– She had just got Chi Zhengzheng drunk!

– She should drink to death!

An Qinru gritted her teeth, picked up the wine, and poured bottle by bottle.

Wen Yiran also looked at the cards, his eyes lit up, and said without any hesitation: “Raise!”

“Call.” Wen Yu didn’t hesitate.

So it was now nine bottles of wine.

“Wen Yu, your cards can’t be bigger than mine, I advise you to give up before it’s too late, don’t drink yourself to death later.” Wen Yiran’s voice was mocking, his eyes looked at Wen Yu, closely observing his eyes.

Wen Yu’s face was expressionless and he calmly said: “Who knows?”

“Raise!” Wen Yiran gritted his teeth: “Since you aren’t afraid of death, don’t blame me.”

Wen Yu remained calm, not taking his threat to heart in the slightest, his voice was calm: “In that case, don’t raise slowly either, just cap it.”

Afraid of people really drinking to death, before the game began Zheng Ye said that the cap was two hundred cups, which was, twenty bottles.

The scene was somewhat quiet, Wen Sisi blinked, she suddenly found that – Chi Zhengzheng’s fiancé, Wen Yu, her cousin, was indeed really handsome, not only in his looks but also in his aura.

How come she didn’t notice it before?

“Good! Then let’s cap it!” Wen Yiran stared at Wen Yu with a deadly stare and with mockery at the corner of his mouth.

Chi Zhouchen was behind Wen Yiran because of where he was standing.

He saw Wen Yiran’s cards and thought in his heart that Wen Yu’s attitude was really good, but in this game, there was really no way back.

None of them had ever seen Wen Yu drink, so they didn’t know if he could drink twenty bottles, but it was good that Zheng Ye was still there, so he shouldn’t let him really drink that many.

“Wen Yu, look closely.” The corner of Wen Yiran’s mouth hooked and he turned over his cards.

Straight flush, KQJ.

“F*ck! F*ck! F*ck! I can’t believe it’s a straight flush! No wonder Brother Yiran is so calm!!!”

“Haha, isn’t this a sure win?”

“I told you so, Brother Yiran isn’t someone who would lose his mind, if the cards weren’t good, how would he dare cap it?”

“Hahaha, unless Wen Yu has an AKQ flush or a Leopard, which is bigger than Brother Yiran’s, it’s impossible!” (t/n: Leopard is the best set you can get at Golden Flower)

“Can Wen Yu drink 20 bottles? I’m seeing that he’s still so fearless. Totally unexpected… tsk tsk.”

…

An Qinru was able to drink up, but seven bottles of wine had already made her very uncomfortable.

Her brain was still able to think rationally, she gritted her teeth and stood still. Seeing this, the corners of her mouth couldn’t help but raise.

Wen Yu, look at you being so smug.

Wen Yu, who was being watched by everyone for a good show, looked at the flush, and then, with the corner of his mouth curled and let out a: “Heh.”

Everyone was taken aback and so was Wen Yiran.

Wen Yu turned over his cards right while everyone was stunned.

Leopard.

“How is it possible?!” How could he be so lucky?

Wen Yiran stood up violently, in disbelief.

An Qinru’s face was also white, and her whole body wasn’t feeling well.

The only card that could be bigger than a leopard was the 235 of different colors, which was in her hand! (t/n: when there’s a leopard, 235 of different colors can beat it.)

She thought of the three bad cards and gave up without daring to raise them at all, never imagining that…

“Go ahead.” Wen Yu stretched out his hand to signal, after a pause, he then said: “Or do you want to admit defeat?”

Admit defeat…

Wen Yiran’s face was unsightly dark, he gritted his teeth: “Open the wine. I bet, I pay!”

Everyone was taken aback, but someone brought the wine that was just opened by Wen Yu and put it in front of Wen Yiran. He looked at Wen Yu with eyes full of anger, his hands picked up the wine and poured the bottles into his mouth.

Wen Yu only saw him drink a bottle, and smiled coldly, then didn’t spare a glance, he just walked towards Chi Zhengzheng.

Then, in everyone’s line of sight, he took Chi Zhengzheng’s bag, picked her up, and walked outside, as if he didn’t care whether Wen Yiran drank it or not.

In one game, he seemed to have slapped An Qinru and Wen Yiran several times.

At this moment, he left directly, and it was like another loud slap that slapped Wen Yiran’s face, making his hand holding the bottle of wine pale and the veins in his forehead jump.

Wen Yu calmly carried Chi Zhengzheng out of the door.

As soon as he went out, the cold wind blew, Chi Zhengzheng’s head was clear for a moment, she asked in a hoarse voice: “Did you win?”

“Mmm, I won.”

Wen Yu’s voice was tinged with laughter: “I’ve wounded people’s hearts tonight to avenge you. The rest will be counted in the future.”

Wasn’t it heartbreaking to death?

If he didn’t give Wen Yiran a straight flush, how could he play to the end if he was still cautious? Twenty bottles of wine exceeded the maximum amount that Wen Yiran could handle. After all, tonight’s bottles of wine weren’t the same alcohol-proof as beer.

To get him to raise, you had to let him be smug first.

There was also An Qinru, who was given the worst cards, but at the same time, there were the only cards that could win over the leopard, but she withdrew first. The result was the most heart-wrenching. He stepped on Wen Yiran, and as for An Qinru, it was as humiliating to step on her.

Wen Yu’s arms holding Chi Zhengzheng tightened and the smile in his eyes was even stronger.

No one but him knew that Zheng Ye could play a hand to the fullest and cheat to the extreme.

After years of tacit understanding, Zheng Ye knew what effect to give him with the look in his eyes.
