On the table, two men with different temperaments were in a state of mutual hostility, neither giving in to the other.

Qiao Ruoxi was worried that if Mu Yunli lost, she would have to dance with Feng Yunan.

If Feng Yunan lost, he would have to pay for the land in Nancheng.

Subconsciously, she did not want them to gamble, nor did she want to see anyone lose.

She did not understand why men always had to fight for victory.

Everyone wanted to win, but there would definitely be someone who would lose. In front of everyone, whoever lost would be embarrassed.

Mu Yunli had a determined look on his face. He tapped his fingers lightly on the table and asked, “Mr. Feng, are you afraid? You don’t dare to flip the cards anymore?”

“Why not?”

Feng Yunan opened the card and the ace of hearts appeared. Many people were worried for Feng Yunan. He was really lucky to get another ace of hearts.

Feng Yunan was a little more confident now. He smiled and asked, “Now I just want to ask, which one is bigger? A flush?”

“…”

Mu Yunli’s eyes turned cold as he slowly opened his card. His movements were very subtle and he quickly closed the card.

But Qiao Ruoxi saw with her sharp eyes that his trump card was a six of hearts.

No matter what, he had three Ace of Spades in his hands and a six of hearts. It was impossible for him to play straight.

This meant that Mu Yunli’s chances of winning were not high.

Qiao Ruoxi really didn’t want to dance with Feng Yunan. When the two men were looking at the last card, she deliberately spilled a glass of juice on the poker card.

The cards in front of Mu Yunli were instantly drowned by the juice. He also pulled his hand back in time.

“Oh… I’m sorry. I didn’t do it on purpose.”

Qiao Ruoxi stood up and apologized profusely.

Mu Yunli stood up and asked with concern, “Did you get splashed with juice?”

“No.”

The man’s eyes turned sullen even more. He wanted to lift the last card, but he did not.

He could already guess from Mu Yunli’s expression that Mu Yunli had lost.

However, he did not expect that Qiao Ruoxi would choose to help Mu Yunli at the last moment to save her face.

She had spilled the juice on purpose.

She did not want Mu Yunli to lose.

Feng Yunan’s anger surged again when he realized that.

‘That damned woman! How dare she defend another man!’

Unable to continue, Mu Yunli said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Mr. Feng. Looks like we won’t be able to play today. How about another day?”

“Whatever.”

At this time, Waltz music began playing at the reception. Mu Yunli said to Qiao Ruoxi, “Beautiful lady, come dance with me!”

“Sorry…”

Before she could finish her words, Qiao Ruoxi was pulled onto the dance floor by Mu Yunli.

Qiao Ruoxi whispered to him, “Mr. Mu, I really don’t want to dance.”

He knew that she was afraid because of Feng Yunan.

But he still had to do something for her because she had just saved his pride.

Mu Yunli whispered into her ear, “Qiao Ruoxi, you are not dancing. You are fighting for your dignity. Don’t you want to live with confidence and dignity in front of Feng Yunan? The best way is to let him know that you will live a better life if you leave him.”

“…” Qiao Ruoxi was speechless.

Mu Yunli’s words were like a knock on her heart. She dreamed of getting back her dignity in front of Feng Yunan so that he could treat her equally.
