After the couple fooled around, the room became a mess.
Soon, flour was stained everywhere. Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng’s faces and bodies were also covered in flour.
When they saw each other’s sorry state, they laughed.
After the dumplings were wrapped, Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng also went to take a shower and changed their clothes.
The fried dumplings would be ready in no time.
The dumpling skin on the outside of the fried dumpling was crispy, but the meat filling inside was tender and juicy.
After it was dipped in sauce, it tasted delicious.
Li Xiaoran took a few bites and said, “Sigh, it’s been a long time since I’ve tasted such familiar fried dumpling!”
Luo Cheng also picked up a few dumplings and ate them. As he ate, he nodded.
“Do you think they’ll be very angry if they find out that only the two of us are enjoying such delicious food?!” Li Xiaoran thought of Wu Qinghe, Shu Ruyue, and the others as she ate.
“Don’t worry! I asked the chef to make a lot of delicious food for them, so they won’t covet our food!” Luo Cheng said.
Li Xiaoran this, she was amused. “That’s good! It’s rare for the two of us to have a peaceful meal!” As she ate, Li Xiaoran thought of something.
“When are you planning to hold the empress dowager’s birthday party?”
“I don’t know. I didn’t ask when I entered the palace! Don’t worry about it. We can’t leave at the moment! If we really leave, we might be stopped by those rebels halfway! I’m not stupid. I don’t want to be a hostage!” Luo Cheng said.
After Li Xiaoran thought about it for a moment, she nodded gloomily.
“Sigh, I’ve been a little unlucky recently! I have to burn incense when I have free time!”
Luo Cheng laughed when he heard Li Xiaoran’s words.
“You? You’re unlucky? If you don’t believe in your luck, you can go to the casino! You’ll quickly be proven that your good luck is still there!”
“I can go to the casino?” Li Xiaoran thought of something and her eyes lit up as she looked at Luo Cheng expectantly.
“You want to go?” Luo Cheng was just saying it casually. Unexpectedly, Li Xiaoran really became interested.
After Li Xiaoran thought about it for a moment, she nodded.
With that, Li Xiaoran thought of something and smiled maliciously.
“Husband, there must be someone among your buddies who runs a casino!
We’ll go to whoever you don’t like or who caused you trouble in the past!” Luo Cheng understood Li Xiaoran’s thoughts and was immediately amused.
“What? You want to teach them a lesson? With your luck?”
Li Xiaoran said, “Hey, what luck?! With my abilities! Don’t forget, my abilities advanced!”
When Luo Cheng recalled Li Xiaoran’s previous abilities, he immediately laughed.
“I really didn’t expect you to be so capable!”
“Of course. Husband, do you want to accompany me to make some money at the expense of certain people?” Li Xiaoran encouraged.
Luo Cheng also smiled and said, “Of course I have to go! How can I miss out on my wife showing off her skills?! Besides, if you win too much money and some people can’t afford to lose, they might even harm you! I naturally have to follow you and protect you
After Li Xiaoran nodded, she walked over to pat Luo Cheng’s shoulder.
“You’re very sensible! Don’t worry, under my lead, you’ll definitely live a good life in the future!”
“Alright, I’ll rely on you to take care of me!” Luo Cheng immediately said.
As soon as he finished speaking, they looked at smiled at each other, then went back to eating the dumplings.
They were going to the casino at night.
The casino was the most lively at night.
After resting during the day, Li Xiaoran and Shu Ruyue changed into men’s clothes at night. Then, they followed Luo Cheng and Wu Qinghe into the casino in the east of the capital.
After Li Xiaoran entered the casino, she looked around curiously.
Unlike the smoky casinos in her impression, this place could be considered a luxurious casino.
The air was refreshing and there was a faint fragrance.
In addition, the people who appeared here were all well-dressed. Even if someone lost money, they wouldn’t cause trouble.
“I really didn’t expect this casino to be so legit!”
“There’s nothing legit about gambling!” Shu Ruyue gritted her teeth and said,
“None of the people who come to the casino are good people!”
When Li Xiaoran heard Shu Ruyue’s words, she immediately laughed.
“Since you followed me here today, are you not a good person either?”
Shu Ruyue this, she looked at Li Xiaoran plaintively.
“I’m doing it for your sake.”
When Li Xiaoran heard Shu Ruyue’s words, she patted her shoulder gently.
“We’re here to uphold justice and rob the rich to help the poor! If you think about it this way, won’t you feel much better?”
When Shu Ruyue heard Li Xiaoran’s words, she thought of something and immediately became happy.
“I feel more motivated after thinking about it that way!” After saying this, Shu Ruyue thought of something.
“But are you sure you’re really going to win money?”
Li Xiaoran raised her chin and said firmly, “Don’t be so skeptical! I’ll show you my skills today!”
Luo Cheng snickered when he heard their conversation.
After tonight, Shu Ruyue would definitely be impressed by Li Xiaoran!
Wu Qinghe walked in and took a look. Then, he said, “Brother, can you lend me some silver? I want to see if my divination is accurate!”
Luo Cheng looked at Wu Qinghe and said, “I’ll lend you a hundred taels of silver! Give me back two hundred taels of silver!”
When Wu Qinghe heard this, he looked at Luo Cheng in shock.
“Are you still my buddy? You clearly know that a person like me, who is plagued by bad luck, will easily lose everything, but you actually want me to pay you back 200 taels of silver? I really didn’t expect you to be so unbrotherly!”
“What are you thinking? Didn’t you say that your bad luck would change after following me? I’ll be here today, so you might get rich! It’s not a big deal for me to let you pay me back 200 yuan!” Luo Cheng lied without batting an eye. After Wu Qinghe thought about it seriously, he felt that Luo Cheng made sense.
“Brother, you’re right. Deal! ”
With that, Wu Qinghe reached out and said, “Brother, give it to me!”
“Give you what?” Luo Cheng didn’t expect Wu Qinghe to think it through so quickly and was a little stunned.
“Money! How can I pay you back 200 yuan if I don’t get the money?” Wu Qinghe asked seriously.
When Luo Cheng saw this, he quickly took out a hundred taels of silver and placed it in Wu Qinghe’s hand.
After Wu Qinghe received the banknote, he slapped it on a gambling table.
“I’ll bet on small!”
