It's Not Easy to Be a Man After Travelling to the Future (WN)

Chapter 1012 A Liking!

After she had lost down to her last 10,000 chips, Miss Seven saw Little Yang’s interest in the game. She then handed the chips to him and said, “Our luck was terrible and we lost almost all of the round. This is the last round so I’ll let you bet.” Miss Seven, two of her maids and Li Yinfei’s group, won small amounts on the first two rounds, then kept losing afterwards. They had already lost to the point of no longer having any interest to gamble.

“Ah, I-I-I ca-can’t.” Ling Lan shook her head furiously as though she was surprised by the 10,000 chips.

“Stop being a sissy. If our lady told you to go, then you go. If you lose, she wouldn’t ask you pay it back.” Elder Sister Nuo wasn’t pleased with Little Yang’s cowardliness and instantly pushed Little Yang towards a betting table.

This table was betting on ‘Big’ or ‘Small’. It seemed Elder Sister Nuo was afraid Little Yang didn’t know how to gamble so she pushed him towards the easiest table.

“I-I won’t h-have to pay it back, right?” Little Yang stuttered as he spoke. If he lost, he wouldn’t be able to pay it back.

“No, but if you win you don’t get a share either,” Elder Sister Nuo said in an annoyed tone.

“O-Oh, t-t-then I’m betting now.” After hearing her words, Little Yang breathed a sigh of relief. He held the chips in his hand as he looked at the many choices on the table with a face full of confusion.

“Place your bets quickly, the round is about to start.” The dealer smiled as he reminded. When he saw Little Yang, he instantly knew Little Yang was a newbie who had never participated in gambling before.

“How do I get the most money?” Ling Lan pretended to not know and asked.

“That ,of course, would be betting on specific numbers or betting on the dealer to take all or lose all.” Smiled the dealer. ‘As expected, this kid is just a newbie who likes money.’

Ling Lan was seemingly thinking about which option would give her the most money. At that moment, the other guests around the table were all telling her to hurry up.

“If you don’t bet, I’m going to start the round. You can wait for the next one.” The dealer didn’t care and was about to not wait for dumb little boy.

“Ah, I’m not going to wait, I’ll bet this one.” Ling Lan was seemingly anxious from all the hurrying and instantly tossed in the 10,000 chips. She originally wanted to toss it into the part where the deal would win against all, but it accidentally landed on the part where the number ‘7’ was at.

“Ah, I tossed it wrong.” Ling Lan cried out.

“If you want to change it, I can still let you change it.” The dealer was surprisingly nice.

“If the bet leaves the hand then its set in stone. Mr. Dealer, you can’t just let him do that just because he’s a newbie,” a few of the guests were unhappy and began to yell.

The dealer wasn’t affected and only smiled at Ling Lan.

Ling Lan pretended to be scared by the other guests beside her and immediately shook her head, “I-I-I’m not c-changing it.”

“Really not changing?” Asked the dealer.

Ling Lan saw the other guest around the table having an expression like they were about to gobble her up. She shook her head furiously to show that she wasn’t going to change it.

The dealer shouted helplessly, “Round start.” He opened the cover and there were three dice. Two were on ‘3’ and one was on ‘1’. It was exactly ‘7’ points.

“Ah, Little Yang, you won.” Elder Sister Nuo jumped up in excitement. Even Miss Seven and Li Yinfei clapped their hands because they were happy. They finally won, and it was a 10-fold return, letting them earn 100,000 instantly.

The dealer handed the chips to Ling Lan using his ruler and smiled, “Boy, your luck is quite good. Do you want to play another round?”

Ling Lan held the chips she had won and shook her head, “No more gambling, no more gambling.”

“Why? Your luck is so good right now,” said Elder Sister Nuo.

“My daddy said that nobody will have good luck all the time. A person should definitely stop when they are winning, in case they use up all of their luck.” Ling Lan replied sternly and earnestly. “Winning 100,000 is already by my luck skyrocketing through the roof. If I keep playing, I will definitely lose.”

Elder Sister Nuo still wanted to say something, but Miss Seven seemed to have understood something and stopped her, “We’ve played all night and should rest. Let’s just call it a night.”

After her lady spoke, Elder Sister Nuo politely replied with ‘Yes’ and no longer forced Little Yang to continue to gamble.

“Um, milady, these are for you.” Ling Lan handed Miss Seven the chips in her hand.

“You won them, why are you giving them to me?” Miss Seven asked with smiling eyes.

“Elder Sister Nuo said that I would only bet and the result has nothing to do with me,” Ling Lan replied earnestly.

“But it was because of you that we won. Shouldn’t you take some money for your hard work?” Miss Seven asked with a half-smile.

“My daddy once said I shouldn’t be greedy for things that don’t belong to me. It’ll just create problems.” Ling Lan decisively chose to be an obedient child who always listened to her father. If Ling Xiao knew these words that Ling Lan were speaking right now, he would definitely bawl his eyes out. Unfortunately, the real Ling Lan was usually obedient on the surface and rebellious on the inside, making Ling Xiao unable to do anything about it.

Seeing Ling Lan’s earnest expression, Miss Seven knew Little Yang was speaking from his heart. She then reached out with her hand and took the chips, purposefully leaving one in Ling Lan’s hands.

Ling Lan immediately shouted, “Milady, you missed one.”

Miss Seven smiled, “That’s your reward.”

“But it’s not my money.” Ling Lan’s honesty made the maids beside Miss Seven almost want to beat him up.

“I am your master. Your performance today was very good, so I gave that to you as a reward. Didn’t your daddy ever teach you that your work should be compensated?” Miss Seven replied with a full smile on her face.

Being so familiar with the wars within the family for power, Little Yang’s morals of not taking things of others and only give to others through the kindness of his heart, made Miss Seven like him a lot. Originally, she was only sympathetic towards Ling Lan’s situation, but now, she was actually starting to like Little

Yang.

‘Perhaps I should take of Little Yang in case those disgusting and savage individuals on the starship were to bully him.’ Miss Seven secretly made this decision.

The dealer’s eyes had a hint of approval as he saw Little Yang decisively take the money and leave. It was very rare to see someone who could maintain a clear head under the lure of money and knew that leaving after a good round would be a better idea. He hoped that Little Yang could hold on against all lures of possible profits during his time on Mai’er Fa and not lose his morals.

Nothing happened during the rest of the night. In the morning of the second day, Li Yinfei received an invitation from Duke Edward. Li Yinfei knew very well that she had definitely caused this duke to have the thoughts of conquering her. Although Li Yinfei had entered the entertainment industry, she didn’t want to become someone who socialized in this way so she decisively refused the invitation.

Despite the fact the Li family had determined that she had secrets she couldn’t reveal to the public, the elite family’s dignity was not allowed to be stepped on. On the surface, she was under the Li family. This was her background that gave her the confidence to refuse these powerful nobles.

“What? That woman refused my invitation?” After learning that Li Yinfei had rejected his invitation, Duke Edward’s expression turned sinister. “A low-class singer actually dares to refuse to serve me…” Duke Edward had hint of anger in his eyes. He felt his dignity was being trampled on by a singer, who he looked down upon. This humiliation must be repaid by Li Yinfei herself.

“My duke, please be patient for the time being. Li Yinfei was invited by Mailer Fa. During this time, she definitely would be protected by them. We can’t risk offending Mai’er Fa just because of this,” Luo Lin carefully comforted.

As the stand-alone gambling planet, Mailer Fa never leaned towards the other preying nations. Its strength was unfathomable and terrifying. It would be a stupid idea to offend or provoke them at this time when they were at their most alert.
