NovelEnglishChapter 1376 Chapter 1376: Kenji's laughter followed. Though he sensed her cooling down, forgiveness was still out of reach. “Let's make a bet. If I win, you drop the grudge." Scarlette tilted her head defiantly. "I might not excel in academics, but I've never lost at rock-paper-scissors." "I don't indulge in such childish games." Her annoyance briefly peaked again. Yet, she had one more trick. "My dad showeda magic trick. Are you brave enough to try?" Kenji teased, "What sort of magic?" "I can see right through things." "Really?" Kenji acted impressed. "You've learned something so incredible?" "I'm not bluffing. Write down a number, and I'll prove my skill." Indulging her, Kenji grabbed a pen and a card.
Scarlette instructed with closed eyes, "To keep it fair, you should close your eyes too when I use my magic." A smirk crossed Kenji's face, aware of her real intent. It wasn't magic-just clever peeking.

After a brief pause, Kenji said, "Time's up. I'm looking now." Scarlette, visibly annoyed, hurriedly returned the card to its place.
Kenji barely concealed his amusement. “Well, Miss Magician, what did you write on the card?" Scarlette's irritation was evident. "You were supposed to write a number. Why is there so much written here?" Kenji responded, “You didn't specify just one number." "But you wrote down your entire ID number! How is anyone supposed to memorize that?” Latest stories on Kenji grinned. “A bet is a deal, my dear." He laughed lightly as he unfastened her seatbelt and gave her a swift kiss. "Enjoy your dinner later. Don't complain about being too full tonight. I'm not entertaining any protests." As Scarlette stepped out of the car, she encountered her friends. Their welcoming shouts drew Kenji's attention, and he noticed a man with white hair among the group.
Kenji's stare fixed on the white-haired individual, intensity mounting. Upon closer inspection, Kenji's mood dropped. It was Zayden. Zayden's appearance had changed. His complexion was lighter, and his white hair gave him a distinct celebrity vibe.
Zayden quickly moved toward Scarlette, playfully removing his jacket and placing it over her shoulders.
Kenji, unable to contain his irritation, slammed on the horn, causing everyone to turn their heads.

The group's tone changed slightly upon recognizing him Someonen whispered "Scarlette, did he drop you off?" Proudly, Scarlette responded, "Yes, that's my chauffeur."
Kenji overheard but seemed unfazed. He briefly considered making a show of affection to assert his presence but decided against it, recognizing the pettiness of the gesture. Tossing the keys to the valet, Kenji made his way directly to the third floor of the restaurant.
Once Kenji was out of view, Zayden cautiously asked, "Scarlette, are you together with Kenji now?"
