Chapter 52: Momo, I want you to kiss me.

Chapter 52

Two days later, the Four Beauties Pavilion opened for business.

The pavilion offered free admission and game play for the first two days before the grand opening, providing tea, snacks, and specialty drinks.

In addition to traditional mahjong and card games, there were also many tabletop games available. These included Werewolf, Avalon, UNO cards, Magic: The Gathering, Assassin and more.

Over those two days, the sisters had taught Yi, Fang Qing, and Wu Ying all of the rules and how to play each game.

For the first two days, only Werewolf was available for the tabletop games, with plans to open up the other games slowly over time.

Since it was free to play, many customers were naturally drawn to come.

The seven of them were extremely busy, explaining the rules to guests while Su Mo prepared small treats and drinks to gift each table.

Those who came in groups chose private rooms, while others teamed up randomly in the main hall.

Many felt this was much more fun than going to gamble with dice, and there were even quite a few female guests present.

Mahjong and card games appealed to both men and women, young and old alike.

Nearly every seat in the main hall was filled.

At that time, a few familiar figures appeared at the entrance.

Sang Li happened to glance over and was momentarily stunned.

It was Bai Yunhan and his companions.

"Young master, it really is big sister Su and the others!" Yi, who was next to Bai Yunhan, had already spotted Su Mo standing in the middle of the main hall explaining things to some guests.

Bai Yunhan looked left and right, taking in the whole scene, and his eyes landed on Sang Li who was standing behind the front counter.

When Sang Li noticed his gaze, she gave him a faint smile. Bai Yunhan's heart seemed to skip a beat and he immediately walked over.

"Miss Sang, I didn't expect it to really be you all!" Bai Yunhan said in surprise.

They had also heard about this new Four Beauties Pavilion that had opened on North Street, with people raving about the novel games being offered there. As soon as they heard the description, they felt sure it was Sang Li and the others, so they rushed right over.

"Master Bai, what a coincidence," Sang Li gave a faint smile. "Have you come to play games?"

Bai Yunhan's eyes darkened slightly. "Miss Sang, we've been looking for you girls the past few days."

"I'm sorry for leaving so abruptly, but we really had no choice. Although, didn't I leave you a letter?" Sang Li replied.

"Was it my mother who made you leave? Where are you all staying now?" Bai Yunhan asked.

"Master Bai, we really couldn't keep imposing on the Bai family. Thank you again for taking care of us these past days," Sang Li said after a brief pause.

"Ah, you little flatterer!" Su Mo rapped him lightly over the head. "Since when did you become so sweet-talking?"

At that moment there was a loud "crack" as Wu Ying snapped one of the mahjong tiles he had been holding tightly in his hand.

The guests at his table nearly jumped in fright as they quickly stood up. "Easy there, sir! No need to get upset, we've really learned it now, no more teaching required, we're good!"

"Yeah, yeah, we've totally got it!"

Wu Ying gave them an icy glare that seemed to drip with killing intent. He flung the broken wooden tile fragment away and strode straight over to Su Mo.

"MoMo..." Wu Ying's voice came from behind her.

Su Mo turned around to look at him. Oblivious to any sense of impending danger, she said, "Oh Wu Ying, did you finish teaching those guests over there?"

"Seemed like you were enjoying your cozy little chat just now, hmm?" Wu Ying's gaze as he looked over at Yi was cold as frost.

Yi shrank back a little under Wu Ying's terrifying expression. "Mister...Wu Ying...so you're here too?"

Wu Ying completely ignored Yi's presence. He reached out and yanked Su Mo over to him with one swift movement. "You were having a pleasant conversation with him? Is that right?"

"Uh...I guess so," Su Mo answered, clearly unafraid.

Wu Ying's eyes darkened dangerously. Lowering down, he whispered directly in her ear, his voice a low growl carrying what almost sounded like a threat. "MoMo...kiss me..."

Su Mo gave Wu Ying an incredulous look and shoved his hands off her. "What's gotten into you today, Wu Ying?"

"Well, are you going to kiss me or not?" Wu Ying demanded, a cold glint flashing through his eyes as he gazed at her.

Now Su Mo was angry too, incensed by his attitude. "I refuse!"

Wu Ying was so furious he nearly spat blood. He stared fiercely at Su Mo for a moment before swooping down to capture her lips in a punishing bite.

The guests in the middle of their card game gaped with eyes wide as saucers, Yi included.

My, there was even a floor show to go with the entertainment today!

Su Mo pushed Wu Ying away forcefully, shocked by his behavior. But her lips had already been cut and bleeding from his bite.

"Wu Ying, what are you, some kind of mad dog?!" Su Mo said angrily.

"That was your repayment!" Wu Ying threw her one last blistering look before storming out of the Four Beauties Pavilion.

"You...just you wait! I'm not letting you kneel and scrub the laundry when we get back! Utterly absurd! I'm fuming!" Su Mo raged as she stamped her foot furiously on the ground.

"Big sister Su, you and Mister Wu Ying, are you two..." Yi started to ask.

Before he could even finish, Wu Ying had already returned. He grabbed Yi ruthlessly by the scruff of his neck, twisting him around and shoving him out the door.
