Ye Wei couldn’t help but stay close to Mo Jue. Her hands were held tightly in his pockets and she didn’t let go. She could feel the warmth of his body. When Mo Jue asked her what she was thinking of, she laughed and said, “Your hands are huge.”
He didn’t ask further.
She didn’t know what was going on, or why her mouth was sealed. She wanted to confess her feelings and ask if he had really liked her so much, but she couldn’t.
It was as if she was testing him like how other women would test their men. She just couldn’t do it.
In fact, some emotions were the most lovely when they remained unclear, innocent, and ambiguous, like the feeling of falling in love. Every woman enjoyed this feeling very much, the feeling of being pursued and liked by others. But, if all of these feelings were confessed to her, the beauty of ambiguity would be lost.
This was also why many women were willing to enjoy being in love, but fear marriage. Once a man and a woman entered a certain stage of a relationship, they would get used to each other.
The warmth of being close to each other increased, but the passion of love decreased.
Ye Wei felt that she shouldn’t have that kind of mindset. Actually, trying to know her own feelings occasionally was something painful to do, because she might not really know herself so well. She was a very self-centered person. Once she was determined about something, it would be difficult for her to change her view about it. For example, it would be difficult for her to change her view about somebody if she already had a particular stereotype about that person.
In the beginning, she felt that Mo Jue had something to hide from her, which made him look insincere, so she didn’t believe him and found him suspicious. Therefore, for so many days, no matter how good Mo Jue was to her, she still didn’t believe that he really liked her.
Until just now, that inadvertent action touched her.
She felt her heart beat faster and knew that she had fallen in love right at that moment. However, it was hard for her to change her opinion about him in a short time.
All she could say was that she believed that he really liked her.
The rest was still to be determined.
Mo Jue didn’t realize the ups and downs happening in her heart. He looked at her side profile occasionally and thought that she seemed to be laughing or mocking, which confused him for a while.
When they passed by a casino, the neon lights were shining brightly. The noise was continuous and the shouting and swearing of men were interwoven. Ye Wei suddenly proposed. “Mo Jue, let’s go to the casino and warm up”
Mo Jue paused. Upon seeing her excited look, his eyes brightened up and he asked curiously, “Do you want to bet?”
“I want to see your true capability.”
“Okay!” Mo Jue replied. He flagged for a taxi and brought Ye Wei to the largest casino in Bogota.
Arthur left the casino and took his men to the largest casino under his name, which was also the largest and the most comprehensive casino in Bogota. The scale of the casino could be said to be on par with the luxury casino in Las Vegas. He could hear the noise of those materialistic bunches indulging in gambling and living an extravagant life like emperors at the gate of the casino.
There were already a few of his men waiting at the door. One of them bowed his head and whispered something in his ear. Arthur’s expression changed a little. He entered the casino and took his personal elevator to the fourteenth floor.
On the fourteenth floor was a reception for Arthur. When he arrived, there were six men and women in black standing outside the conference hall. They were all expressionless and their gazes were cold and sharp. At first sight, one would know that they were experts in the industry. Arthur was trembling. When their men came out, they felt like a platoon. There were only six of them, but it felt like they could kill six hundred of his men, which made him uneasy.
He pushed the door into the meeting room and Jason was talking to a Chinese American man. Upon seeing him enter the room, Jason’s face darkened and slapped the table angrily. “Damn it, Arthur, what did you do? Who asked you to find Mo Jue? Do you want me to blow you up?”
Angry Jason was rather frightening. He was famous for having a hot temper in the arms industry and only a few dared to provoke him. Arthur’s legs were like jelly, trembling with fear. He apologized profusely with his face full of smiles and tried to calm the dragon down.
“Boss Jason, there was a bit of bad blood between me and Mo Ye, and I wanted to deflate him. Who knew Mo Jue would come? I’ll blame those boys for not being able to recognize him. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. Don’t be angry.”
“How could people like you wish to deflate others? How disgraceful. Arranging hundreds of brothers to protect you? How can a man be this fearful of death? Are you really a man?” Jason shouted.
People outside wanted to laugh but they held back and didn’t dare to laugh.
Arthur hurriedly said pleasant words to suck up to him, but Jason didn’t fall for it. He swore at him again. If he hadn’t called in time to stop such a boring game, he would have ruined his business.
Arthur was relieved when he saw that he was less angry, and then he looked at another person who was in the meeting room. That person was the most exquisite oriental-looking man he had ever seen other than the Mo brothers. He was tall, slender, elegant, and had delicate facial features. There was a feeling of tiredness seen between his eyebrows, but it did not damage his perfect facial features or the sharpness of his gaze at all.
‘Who is he?’
Arthur felt that he looked a little familiar. Third Young Master Ye took a glance at him and asked, “Did you bring the tape of the surveillance camera in the casino?”
“Here it is, here it is.” Arthur took out a disk from his arms hurriedly and gave it to Third Young Master Ye. This man was not tall or aggressive, but he was cold and fierce.
Third Young Master Ye turned on the computer and read the disk. Jason sat over and looked at the screen as well. Ye Wei wore sunglasses and didn’t say a word from the beginning to the end. She just stood beside Mo Jue in peace and there was nothing unusual.
There was nothing special.
They looked at each other, and Third Young Master Ye turned off the computer. He asked Arthur, “What are you betting on in three days?”
“It’s not determined yet. Uh… Didn’t you say that I’d see you at the table in three days? I thought you would know what to bet on,” Arthur said, trembling.
He didn’t dare to be unbridled in front of Jason. Even if he questioned them like this, he said it carefully. He was afraid of even offending him a little.
Jason snorted heavily. “It’s all your fault. We could have at least bought more time. Asshole!”
“Yes, yes, yes, I’m an asshole, I’m an asshole…” Arthur did not dare to have any objection. He could only agree with him and hated Jason more. In a deep voice, Third Young Master Ye told him that he’d see him at the gambling table three days later.
‘What to bet on?’
Just after he arrived in Bogota, he came to see Jason in a hurry and happened to see Arthur’s man telling him to meet Mo Jue, who was with Ye Wei. He was afraid of ruining things, so he told Jason to stop him with a call. At that time, he could only think of such a way.
“Third master, three days are more than enough for us to get the best gambler in the world here. No problem at all.”
Ye Chen thought for a while. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside, and a man appeared and said, “Third master, you’d better have a look at the monitoring room.”
