Chapter 768 Everyone’s Gone, so Stop Pretending
After An Xia returned to the private room, she saw Bai Jingshu sitting in the middle of the crowd, absentmindedly
looking around.
When he spotted An Xia, he raised an eyebrow at her, expressing his dissatisfaction.
An Xia only walked to the other side and sat down, ignoring him.
Why would she join in the fun when it was a gathering of men?
But as soon as she sat down, Bai Jingshu waved at her.
She had no choice but to go over again.
Bai Jingshu and the others had stopped playing dice and were preparing to play cards.
As soon as she sat down, Bai Jingshu grabbed her hand and asked, "Where did you go just now?"
"To the restroom."
The way she seemed to give a random answer made Bai Jingshu furrow his eyebrows slightly. "You were gone for
quite a long time, though?"
An Xia was slightly surprised. He had been playing with these men before, yet he still found time to pay attention to
her.
Glaring at him, she whispered in his ear, "Have you ever considered the possibility of me having constipation?"
Bai Jingshu choked and reached out to pinch her face, but An Xia swatted his hand away. "Behave yourself. There
are people watching."
He turned his head and indeed saw everyone looking at them.
And when Bai Jingshu turned to look at them, they quickly averted their gaze, pretending to chat casually while
secretly keeping an eye on An Xia and Bai Jingshu.
Even Bai Yunan who held a cigarette in his hand occasionally glanced in their direction.
Even Bai Jingshu, who had always been shameless, felt a bit embarrassed. He let go of An Xia's hand and clamored,
"Let's play cards! What are you all staring at?"
Tonight, Bai Jingshu seemed to have good luck and won all night.
His friends and buddies lamented, "Jingshu, I'll have to leave naked today if you keep winning."

Bai Jingshu had an unlit cigarette between his lips.
He wanted to smoke, but An Xia threatened him that she wouldn't cook for him for three days, so he could only
hold it in his mouth to satisfy his craving.
He gave a disdainful look to his friend who spoke. "You're alone anyway; what does it matter if you wear clothes or
not? I have a family to take care of now. You all better be good and not shortchange me even a penny."
After a whole night of playing, Bai Jingshu kept winning, and An Xia collected all the money.
An Xia felt a bit embarrassed at first, but Bai Yunan handed over the money he lost to her. "Here, take it."
Since the boss had spoken, An Xia didn't stand on ceremony anymore. To be honest, she mainly felt awkward
accepting money from Bai Yunan.
They didn't hold back at all during their game. When they ran out of money, someone would bring cash over.
An Xia was exhausted from collecting money. In the end, she roughly estimated that they had collected at least 200
thousand.
She was a bit dumbfounded. Even during the new year when her family played cards, their stakes were never this
high. They were all very conservative.
By the time they had played enough, An Xia was fighting to keep her eyes open. She yawned while collecting
money.
Bai Jingshu was also a bit tired as he massaged his forehead. "Alright, let's stop here for tonight."
As the leader tonight, no one objected when he spoke.
However, those who lost money were unhappy. They raised their glasses one by one to toast Bai Jingshu.
And they were all drinking white wine.
Bai Jingshu happily accepted all the drinks.
When it was Bai Yunan's turn, he opened two bottles of white wine without saying a word and handed one to Bai
Jingshu.
Bai Jingshu smirked. "As expected of my big brother!"
Bai Yunan didn't waste time on words and downed the drink.
An Xia felt like she had learned something new tonight.
However, she was still a bit worried. Would Bai Jingshu and the others be okay drinking like this?
Since Bai Yunan had started drinking, Bai Jingshu naturally wouldn't hold back.
But as he tilted his head back and drank less than a fifth of the bottle, there was a loud bang, and he fell straight to
the ground.
An Xia didn't even bother counting the money anymore as she rushed over.
"Bai Jingshu!"
Bai Yunan had already drunk half of his bottle of alcohol and glanced at Bai Jingshu before turning to the others.
"Let's call it a night."
Everyone left in groups of two or three without paying any attention to Bai Jingshu.
Lu Qingyou mixed in with the crowd and was about to leave as well.
However, Bai Yunan suddenly saw her in the crowd and grabbed the back of her collar, pulling her back.
He had drunk quite a bit tonight and was a bit tipsy.
When he spoke, his voice was slow.
"Lu Qingyou, where do you think you're going?"
His voice was deep and mesmerizing. When he spoke slowly, there was a strange tenderness in his tone.
As someone with a voice fetish, Lu Qingyou felt her heart soften instantly.
She turned around smiling, trying to suck up to Bai Yunan. "What are you talking about, Yunan? I wasn't running
away. I was just checking if my brother had drunk too much and if I should take him back to his room..."
Hearing those words, Bai Yunan turned his head and glanced at Lu Qinghan, who was lying motionless on the
couch. His eyes narrowed.
Did she think he was stupid?
Lu Qingyou pursed her lips and stopped talking.
An Xia didn't notice the interaction between Bai Yunan and Lu Qingyou. She was too worried about Bai Jingshu and
helped him up.
"Bai Jingshu, what's wrong with you?"

She called out several times, but Bai Jingshu didn't wake up. As she panicked, she looked at Bai Yunan. "Yunan,
what's wrong with Jingshu? Did he drink too much?"
The way these men drank scared her.
But she knew that Bai Yunan was a sensible person. He wouldn't let Bai Jingshu go out of control while he was here,
so she didn't say anything.
Bai Yunan was also a bit drunk. His face was slightly flushed, but his voice remained calm as he reassured her, "He's
fine."
After speaking, he walked closer to An Xia and said, "You should get up first."
An Xia obediently stood up.
But the next moment, she saw Bai Yunan kick Bai Jingshu twice. It was a rough, yet simple solution.
There is no doubt they are brothers, An Xia thought.
Bai Jingshu, who had been motionless just a moment ago, quickly sat up after being kicked. He rubbed his slightly
blurry eyes. "Yunan, can you be more gentle?"
"You won't wake up if I'm gentle. Everyone's gone, so stop pretending and go rest early." Bai Yunan didn't feel guilty
at all. After saying these words, he took Lu Qingyou and left.
Lu Qingyou kept looking back at An Xia, her eyes pleading for help. She had been avoiding Bai Yunan for so long,
but now that she was caught, it was definitely game over for her.
However, An Xia was too focused on Bai Jingshu and didn't notice Lu Qingyou's plea for help.
Bai Yunan's face darkened when he noticed Lu Qingyou's subtle attempts. He let go of her collar and held her hand,
his voice slightly cold. "What are you afraid of? Do you think I'll eat you?"
Lu Qingyou gritted her teeth. "Try me."
Her gaze and attitude were full of provocation.
Bai Yunan could feel a fire in his lower abdomen. "Do you think I won't?"
Lu Qingyou raised her chin, proud like a little leopard. "Do you dare?"
She actually hoped that Bai Yunan would "eat" her!
Right then, Bai Yunan felt like he might have had too much to drink.
With an indifferent face, he let go of her hand. "Stop talking nonsense. It's late. I'll take you back."
