Thump, thump, thump!
Shen Bing could almost hear her own heartbeat. She clenched her hands tightly, staring at the spinning dice, holding her breath, her palms sweaty from nervousness.
If she won, she wouldn't need Henry or Zhou Xinghe at all.
But if she lost, she would have to give Wang Chao away.
She didn't want to face that outcome!
"Three sixes, three sixes," Shen Bing stared intently at the dice, praying in her heart.
Watching her like this, Wang Chao felt something was off.
No matter who it was, no matter how much wealth or status they possessed, once they stepped onto the gambling table and staked their most beloved possessions, they would all become gamblers destined to lose.
Princess Karina just now was like that, and now Shen Bing was the same.
Kristin also fixed her gaze on the dice, shouting in her mind, "Three ones, three ones!"
Shen Siquan regained her calm and smiled as she observed everything.
Finally, under everyone's gaze, the speed of the spinning dice slowed down, and they came to a stop. The numbers showed 456.
"Hahaha!!!"
Kristin burst into laughter, excitedly jumping up, "I won!"
Shen Bing stared at the score, her eyes wide open, and sat dejectedly in her chair, muttering, "How is this possible? How could this be?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe had followed Wang Chao's method of spinning the dice, so why didn't she get 666?
Why?
"Gambling requires luck, but luck is not something you can control."
Watching Shen Bing like this, Wang Chao comforted her gently, "And in gambling, cheating happens nine out of ten times, and the remaining one is a cheat. It's already quite impressive that you rolled 456 with these dice."
"As for Kristin's 566, it was just good luck."
"These dice, unless handled by specially trained experts, no one can roll 666."
"Why?" Shen Bing asked, puzzled.
"Because that's how it works in the gambling world. You'll understand it in your own time," Wang Chao said.
Kristin walked over and instantly brought Wang Chao to her side, smiling, "President Shen, I'm sorry, but I won. So, tonight, your man belongs to me."
Shen Bing grabbed Wang Chao's hand and uttered in a deep voice, "Miss Kristin, name your price. What can I do to keep him?"
"President Shen, I'm sorry, but I only like men, not money," Kristin said with a faint smile. She gently pushed away Shen Bing's hand and walked off with Wang Chao.
Shen Bing watched Wang Chao leave like that, feeling guilty, regretful, unwilling, and heartbroken. Negative emotions flooded her, causing her eyes to redden and tears to stream down her beautiful face.
In that moment, she felt as if her whole being had been hollowed out, leaving her with a profound emptiness inside.
Those two teardrops made her look pitiful and evoked sympathy from others.
Wang Chao, seeing her like this, felt an even deeper sense of distress. He freed himself from Kristin's grip, walked over, and wiped away Shen Bing's tears. He comforted her, saying, "This is gambling. Once you step onto the gambling table, you'll fall into someone else's trap and suffer a devastating loss."
"Some people even lose everything, their families and their lives."
"So, remember this lesson. On the nights when I'm not around, think twice before gambling again."
"Don't worry, I'll be fine over there."
As he spoke, he hugged Shen Bing, patting her head to reassure her that everything would be alright.
The reason he didn't stop Shen Bing and the others from gambling was to teach her a lesson and make her understand the cost of gambling.
Only by experiencing such a setback could Shen Bing grow and have a better chance against cunning individuals like Liu Xiangqing in the future.
Kristin, witnessing this scene, was consumed by jealousy and anger.
When she was with Wang Chao before, he did not treat her as gently as he did now. It was truly infuriating how people compared to one another!
Furious, she approached them, pulled Wang Chao aside, and said, "Wang Chao, understand your place. She lost you to me, so now you belong to me. Come with me immediately."
Saying that, she grabbed Wang Chao's hand and stormed off in a huff.
"Hey, wait for me. Shen Siquan lost as well. Take me with you," Zhou Xinghe's expression changed, and he quickly caught up, following behind Wang Chao and Kristin.
After all, Wang Chao was the Dark Night King, and Zhou Xinghe had to follow him.
"You protect Princess Karina and Miss Shen Bing. Do not act recklessly without my orders. That's an order!" Wang Chao telepathically transmitted his instructions to Zhou Xinghe, emphasizing the need to protect these two women.
Zhou Xinghe immediately halted his steps and stood still.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs the king's command, he had to obey.
"Kristin, I..." Henry also quickly stood up, intending to follow Kristin.
However, his eyes darted around and caught sight of Shen Siquan and Shen Bing, the two stunning beauties. He smoothly sat back down.
He had been with Kristin for over a year and had grown tired of her. If he could have the opportunity to play with beauties like Shen Bing or Shen Siquan, his trip to the Dragon Kingdom would be worthwhile.
Bang!
Kristin discarded her cigar, grabbed Wang Chao's hand, and left the casino. They walked off the deck and eventually returned to their room, closing the door. Kristin glared at Wang Chao and uttered angrily, "Should I call you Wang Chao now, or Gao Hongyuan?"
"Actually, a name is just a code," Wang Chao replied.
Every time he carried out a mission, he would change his name.
Over the years, besides the name Wang Chao, he had used countless other names.
Gao Hongyuan was simply the name he used while protecting Kristin.
"So, you are on a mission this time too?" Kristin asked.
"Yes, it's my job," Wang Chao replied calmly.
Kristin stared at Wang Chao for more than thirty seconds without saying a word.
"Actually..." Wang Chao began to explain.
However, before he could finish his sentence, Kristin suddenly walked up to him, pushed him against the wall, pressing her body tightly against his, leaving him no room to retreat.
Then, she tiptoed and leaned in, kissing Wang Chao on the lips.
Wang Chao was stunned.
He, a formidable king of soldiers, was unexpectedly Kabe-don'd by a female celebrity?
