Chapter 538: Chapter 512: She’s Unreasonable

“I think it would be more interesting if we add a little wager into the mix, don’t you think?” Yu Minglang asked in all seriousness.

“You want to bet money with me? All your wealth, except for your real estate and pocket money, is already in my hands,” Xiao Qian really didn’t look down on this man who only wore underpants at home. Since their engagement, Yu Minglang had returned to a pre-liberation lifestyle from being a well-off man.

“Let’s not be so vulgar. How about this: Whoever loses has to grant the winner a request.”

With promises on the line, wouldn’t there be room for things to naturally happen?

Xiao Qian understood right away that this guy had some ulterior motives and was trying to figure her out.

“I don’t stand much chance if I play Go with you, so how about we play two games of Chinese chess and one game of Go? Best of three wins.”

Yu Minglang felt a bit regretful that he didn’t manage to trick her. His future daughter-in-law was just too clever.

“Why Chinese Chess too?”

“Chinese Chess is like Jianghu, and Go is like the World. My chances of winning Go against you are slim, so let’s just be fair.”

Both of them were academic elites, just proficient in different fields. Indeed, Yu Minglang was strong in Go, and it was said he even won awards for it in his student days. His mind was extremely fast when it came to calculations.

“…You’re adding two games of your strength but still claim it’s fair since it’s best three out of five.” Yu Minglang was not stupid. His daughter-in-law was blatantly bullying him, clearly wanting to win.

“Do you want to play or not?” She raised her chin arrogantly, as if to say, ‘I’m going to bully you, what are you going to do about it?’

“Okay, I will play. If my daughter-in-law wants to play, I will accompany her. But, there’s one thing: no matter what you have me do now, you can’t make me sleep on the floor!”

It would be unbearable to have their little vacation together ruined and lose the last bit of enthusiasm for life.

“Rest assured, you won’t sleep on the floor. At most, you would wear…” Xiao Qian smiled slightly.

Huh? Is his daughter-in-law that easygoing? Yu Minglang looked at Xiao Qian, who was smiling like a little fox, and couldn’t believe that she would be the kind of woman who would obediently let a man dominate her. So how could she offer such a good deal?

“Daughter-in-law, are you saying that if I win… you’ll really listen to me?”

“Mm-hmm, if you win, of course you can make a request. But if you lose…”

“A mini-skirt… I can also do your makeup.”

Yu Minglang gasped.

“Qian Bao, are you into kinky stuff?!”

“Do you dare or not? If you don’t, it’s fine. I’m very democratic and won’t force you. But if you don’t fight and lose by default, you won’t be that tall, mighty, and brave image in my heart anymore. Ah, it’s the greatest tragedy in life when a man can’t maintain a tall image in his woman’s heart.”

Yu Minglang looked at her cunning little face, feeling an itch in his heart.

“You’re provoking me?”

“Does provocation work on Elder Brother?” Xiao Qian blinked and asked innocently.

“As long as it’s you, anything works. Let’s begin.”

Yu Minglang had no confidence and an air of desperation in his heart.

Xiao Qian’s confidence wasn’t baseless; in their past life, the two of them had played these games plenty of times. She often lost in Go but mostly won in Chinese Chess. This Yu Minglang was different, he wasn’t familiar with her tricks in Chinese Chess, but she remembered his moves. If she didn’t use this rebirth advantage, what was the point?!

Right now, she looked at Yu Minglang with shining eyes, as if the man in underpants had already changed into a skirt and was flirting in front of her.

“What are you thinking about? Why are you laughing so evilly?”

“Nothing, come on, show me what you’ve got!” Xiao Qian made a gesture of invitation, grinning like a cat that got the cream.

She was determined to win, and he was riled up too. This was no longer a question of who would win. For the sake of men’s dignity, he had to go all out!

As Xiao Qian predicted, she couldn’t beat Yu Minglang in Go and lost without a doubt.

Next came the decisive chess battle that would determine who would wear a skirt. It wasn’t a fair battle at all, as Xiao Qian relied on her memories from her past life to easily kill him in one game.

But afterwards, he became more familiar with her strategies, and it became harder for her to win with the support of her strong willpower.

Both were concentrating fully, as a minor mistake could lead to the humiliation of wearing a skirt. Xiao Qian carelessly made a wrong move.

The moment she placed the stone, she regretted it. However, when she tried to touch the chessboard again, Yu Minglang caught her little hand and grazed it against his chin, jabbing her with his growing stubble.

Qian Bao, a gentleman doesn’t destroy a game of chess!”

“Elder Brother, it’s hard to be both wise and able to manage a family, so it’s good to be muddleheaded sometimes!”

When Yu Minglang heard her calling him, he became flustered, and Xiao Qian took the opportunity to move the chess piece back.

Now it was Yu Minglang’s turn. As he lifted the chess piece and was about to place it, Xiao Qian rubbed her leg against him. He lost focus and accidentally placed the piece off by a step. Just as he was about to correct it, her small hand slapped down on his, and she righteously said,

“A gentleman doesn’t regret a move!”

“Younger sister, it’s hard to be both wise and able to manage a family, so it’s good to be muddleheaded sometimes!” Yu Minglang tried to use her words from earlier to reply to her.

Xiao Qian looked dignified, “Wrong! That’s not how the saying goes. A gentleman doesn’t destroy chess, regretting a move means no virtuous wife!”

It’s useless to play with such a person! Yu Minglang was amused and annoyed.

“You letting me take back moves is already quite muddleheaded. Even though you distracted me while I was making a mistake, you still say you’re not virtuous?!”

This was way too unfair! She wouldn’t let him change back, and Yu Minglang was about to lose. It would be too embarrassing to wear women’s clothes because of this. Hence, Brother Lang wanted to make a big move – if he lost, he would flip the chessboard!

Xiao Qian responded calmly, “Whoever dares to flip the board shall sleep on the floor!”

Bullying people can even be done so neatly and rhythmically. Yu Minglang snorted.

“I see. You just want to see me wear a skirt, right?”

“Yes.” She replied, crisp and direct. Come on, please enter the trap!
