Chapter 916: Chapter 916: Deal! I’m Betting!
Lu Lingche didn’t even blink an eye, “Okay, no problem.”
Qiao Yin looked at him, then at Xie Xingchen, and suddenly couldn’t hold back, letting out a giggle.
The image of it was just too funny—she couldn’t imagine what an explosive scene it would be for the indifferent and cool Lu Lingche to kiss Xie Xingchen!
Was Lu Lingche too confident? Did he think he would win? Didn’t he know she could cheat with the help of Lu Yanxi?
She was laughing so hard her stomach hurt, but she was afraid Lu Lingche would back out, so she hurriedly suppressed her laughter and extended her hand towards him, “Deal! I’m in!”
Lu Lingche gave her a high-five, his expression unchanged, “Deal.”
How long had it been since he saw her laugh like this in front of him? Far too long. She was actually more lively and joyful than he had thought.
It wasn’t easy to make her happy, but the clueless Lu Yanxi finally had some use.
To celebrate their first bet, Lu Lingche ordered two drinks, which the waiter brought over promptly.
He picked up one, handed the other to Qiao Yin, and then clinked glasses with her, “Remember to kiss me if you lose, no going back on your word.”
Qiao Yin was still picturing the scene of him kissing Xie Xingchen and couldn’t contain her amusement, “I won’t lose, but when it comes to you, make sure you don’t go back on your word when the time comes!”
“I won’t. A bet is a bet; I’ll accept defeat gracefully—that’s a rule I still follow,” he said and drained his glass in one gulp.
Seeing him finish his drink, Qiao Yin wasn’t to be outdone and downed hers as well.
Her mood was better than ever before, filled with unprecedented anticipation.
No wonder so many gamblers loved to gamble; it indeed was very interesting, even slightly addictive.
No, she had to record the scene of Lu Lingche kissing Xie Xingchen when it happened; if he bullied her in the future, she could use it to tease him, to threaten him—it could be his fatal weakness, right?

Because Lu Lingche was present, Lu Yanxi didn’t dare to look for any more handsome guys, and she even refrained from drinking too much, fearing another scolding.
She was as quiet as a mouse, like a henpecked wife, which made Xie Xingchen feel both sorry and amused.
He could only apologize again, “I’m sorry, it’s my fault for acting on my own and inviting President Lu, ruining your fun. I’ll treat you to the drinks today, as my way of apologizing.”
Lu Yanxi shook her head, glanced at Lu Lingche and saw he was talking to Qiao Yin and not paying attention here, then she spoke up, “Don’t blame yourself. I did indeed go a bit overboard tonight. To be honest, I came here tonight looking for love. If that muscle man could have won against you, I would have made him my boyfriend. Unfortunately, he couldn’t even beat you, so I’ve lost interest in him.”
Xie Xingchen raised his eyebrows slightly, “He couldn’t beat me? Do you think I’m that weak?”
Lu Yanxi sized him up, “Well… I thought you looked rather slim, and you said before that you trained with Second Brother, so you must be somewhat capable. You’re just a bit skinny, lacking some strength, but since that muscle man couldn’t even defeat you, it shows that all his muscles are just for show, pretty but not practical.”
Although she underestimated him, Xie Xingchen couldn’t help but laugh, “Indeed, I lack strength, and my skills are quite average. Your Second Brother even finds me embarrassing, forbidding me to say I have trained with him. Next time, before you decide on a boyfriend, you’re welcome to bring him over to spar with me. If he can’t beat me, you’d better switch to someone else early on. A weakling won’t do, right?”
Lu Yanxi, oblivious to the trap being set, nodded vigorously in agreement, “Absolutely, that’s so true! Xie Xingchen, thank you for being willing to test my potential boyfriends for me. You’re such a good person!”
With the words “good person” floating above his head, Xie Xingchen’s laugh was as sly as a fox, “Not at all, not at all. We’re all friends here; it’s only right to lend a hand.”
