Yun Canglan stood at the banister on the second floor overlooking the main hall, poker-faced. The ladies below were seducing the guests and the guests had lust-filled eyes.
She inspected the business as the boss now. 'Why didn't Yun Yu string a banner like "Warmly Welcome Our Boss's Visit" on the wall?' Yun Canglan was not delighted.
On the first floor, Yan Cangyue reluctantly pulled the last of his money from his pocket complaining, "Damn it! I haven't played all the games through with 5, 000 Liang." He had abandoned his royal style.
San Niang went downstairs to Yan Cangyue, "Milord, have you run out of money already? You have such poor skills at playing these games! I wonder how much you would need to spend to play all the games on the first floor." She looked down on him even though he was a prince.
Yan Cangyue grunted changing position, "San Niang, the games on the first floor are interesting, but I prefer playing with the ladies. Although I haven't played all the games, I'm finished with them. Next time I am here, I will go straight to the third floor. San Niang, tell the top showgirl to wash clean in advance." He winked at San Niang seductively, and many ladies began to squeal.
San Niang was pretty calm, after all, she had played many handsome men. She was reluctant to let the fortune god go, "Sir, you must be frustrated! How about I recommend a better guide for you?"
Yan Cangyue was not angry with her observations, and he acknowledged openly, "You are right, San Niang. I have poor skills at these games. They are all new to me, but I guess a few people can play them through. I don't care about it at all."
San Niang sniffed, "Are you suggesting that I'm trying to take your money? You are wrong, and there are many people who play well. Would you like to try a race with them?"
"Try a race? Interesting!" Yan Cangyue smiled blandly. He saw himself as a smart man, and he didn't believe that someone was smarter than him. "Okay. But you are not allowed to ask a servant to race with me. After all, servants are familiar with these games, and it is unfair. What do you think?"
"You can choose whoever you want." San Niang was not sure, but she thought she might hate Yan Cangyue's arrogance.
"Okay!" Yan Cangyue looked around the room and pointed at a person, "I choose him."
San Niang looked where he pointed.
What?
Him?
That was...was....her Mistress!
San Niang felt like crying. She couldn't ask her Mistress to race with Yan Cangyue in public.
Yun Canglan was bored and wanted some fun, so didn't mind at all. "No problem!"
Yun Yu looked at Yan Cangyue shocked. 'Yan Cangyue, you are so screwed.' She thought.
Yun Qin and Yun Qi were excited which confused everyone and had them wondering why the twins were excited.
Yun Qin admitted, "Mistress, I haven't mastered the skill of bowling yet!"
"Mistress, will you ask Yan Cangyue to hold the target when you play darts?" Yun Qi asked.
Yun Canglan was in thought as she went downstairs to join San Niang and Yan Cangyue. She had a look of uncertainty as she explained preemptively, "San Niang, I'm a novice at these games. Please don't be upset with me, if I lose."
San
y ladies squealed watching Yan Cangyue's movements.
Yun Canglan scolded silently, 'What a proud peacock you are, yet, Lei Tianyan is far more handsome than you! Stop being so haughty!'
Yun Canglan spoke to Yan Cagyue excitedly, with uncertainty in her voice, "That looks interesting! What...what's that over there? Let's play that game, okay?"
Yun Canglan pointed to a game, which shocked everyone.
Yun Canglan's choice, bowling, secretly pleased Yan Cangyue. Martial artists were all good at throwing darts, but it required skill to bowl. Yan Cangyue loved bowling and had spent time practicing it often.
'Bro, you will lose!' Yan Cangyue thought.
"This is a challenging game. Are you sure you would not like to choose another one?" Yan Cangyue asked and thought, 'I have given you a chance.'
Yun Canglan blinked and said eagerly, "But it looks interesting!"
"Fine! Let's play bowling!" Yan Cangyue agreed.
"Could I go first?" Yun Canglan asked. She rubbed her hands together as if she couldn't wait to start. On her red sleeves, the bloomed feather of phoenix swayed with her movements as if there was a cool breeze.
Yan Cangyue shrugged, "No problem!" He was quite sure he would win the match and didn't care who went first.
Yun Canglan strode over and picked a ball. She bent down, almost dropping the ball to the ground as if she didn't expect the ball to be so heavy. She finally straightened herself, held the ball tightly and walked to the lane.
Yun Canglan's movements had onlookers roaring with laughter. Yun Canglan seemed to be excited as she waved the ball and aimed at the pins. She clutched the ball in her right hand and was about to throw it when she stumbled and fell to the ground. The ball rolled from her hand.
All the pins fell down, and everyone was awed into silence.
People rubbed their eyes in disbelief and weren't sure if they were asleep or awake.
The pride Yan Cangyue felt, faded as he studied Yun Canglan as she picked herself up and stared incredulously at the pins. He wondered if this was a coincidence.
Yun Canglan smiled devilishly unnoticed by Yan Cangyue.
