“You’re not suggesting that your plan to win back Meishilin is to have me gamble with you, are you?!” Mu Shanshan, dragged by Lin Fei all the way from the banquet hall to the casino hall, had a frosty aura emanating from her stunning visage.

Mu Shanshan had not held much hope for Lin Fei’s claim to help her win back Meishilin, especially since Fangxing Group had already signed an acquisition contract with Meishilin.

Yet, given Lin Fei’s formidable abilities and his disturbingly effective eloquence, somewhere in her heart Shanshan still harbored a glimmer of hope.

After all, Lin Fei had indeed managed to infuriate Fang Wenxi to the point of being speechless with rage, and in daily interactions, he had often left her, CEO Mu, seething with embarrassment and indignation.

Based on this, Shanshan had thought that Lin Fei might have come up with some brilliant plan to provoke Fang Wenxi into willingly giving up on acquiring Meishilin.

Unexpectedly, Lin Fei ended up dragging her to the hotel’s casino hall.

The so-called casino hall is, simply put, a place for gambling.

Considering Lin Fei’s earlier promise to help her win back Meishilin, Shanshan couldn’t help but feel infuriated!

Although, due to the charity dinner hosted by Gu Lanzi, the Royal hotel had gifted each guest with chips worth one hundred thousand yuan for free.

However, Mu Shanshan definitely didn’t believe that her cheap husband could win back Meishilin with those one hundred thousand yuan worth of complimentary chips.

Let alone whether Lin Fei had the gambling skills, even if he did manage to win a significant amount of money, that had nothing to do with winning back Meishilin.

This was completely a different matter!

Of course, most importantly, Gu Lanzi, the initiator of the charity dinner, had already reached an agreement with the organizers of the Royal Hotel and the entrepreneurs invited to the dinner to make donations.

Tonight, all proceeds from the gambling would be donated in the name of the Zhonghai City Council and the Entrepreneur Association.

In other words, no matter how much money Lin Fei won, it wouldn’t be his to take away.

At best, he could earn a reputation as a philanthropist, which had nothing to do with helping CEO Mu win back Meishilin!

Shanshan was not oblivious to the unreliability of Lin Fei, her bargain husband, but she didn’t expect him to be so outrageously unreliable!

This was not about helping her win back Meishilin at all; it seemed more like he wanted to drag her along for gambling!

Shanshan sincerely felt that she had been duped, duped big time by Lin Fei!

“If you want to gamble, do it on your own.

I’m not interested!”

Seeing that Lin Fei was only concerned with surveying the casino hall, Shanshan’s anger intensified, convinced that he came just for gambling.

She shook off Lin Fei’s hand and was about to leave alone.

“Since we’re here, we might as well settle in.” Seeing that Shanshan was about to leave, Lin Fei quickly reached out and took her delicate hand again, his voice soothing, “I’m equally uninterested in gambling, but I can assure you.

As long as you stay with me here, Fang Wenxi will definitely come over and gamble with me.”

Seeing the cold radiance on Shanshan’s stunning face, Lin Fei could somewhat guess the anger in her heart.

However, it was obviously difficult for him, Mr.

Lin, to explain the situation clearly to his CEO wife at the moment.

To be honest, even Lin Fei himself wasn’t too sure of his plan.

But one thing was certain, as long as Mu Shanshan stayed by his side, Fang Wenxi would definitely come looking for them.

And, once Fang Wenxi took the initiative to come over, Lin Fei would have a way to make him spit out Meishilin!

“How am I supposed to trust you?!” Mu Shanshan’s chilly gaze fixed on Lin Fei, filled with disbelief.

It was not her fault that she, President Mu, lacked trust in Lin Fei, her bargain husband; after all, she had been badly bullied by him in their day-to-day life.

Considering Lin Fei’s usual antics, Mu Shanshan had every reason to suspect that he came up with this plan to win Meishilin back just to keep her tied to him.

“Believe it or not, it’s up to you.

Either you stay and keep me company, or we go back home now.

You choose.” Lin Fei was too lazy to offer Mu Shanshan any further explanation.

He meant well to do her a favor, but instead he faced suspicion about his intentions.

In fact, if it were anyone else, Lin Fei, the big-shot, would probably have turned his back and left.

After all, he did count as a key figure in the Hell’s Judgement Organization, with countless people abroad requesting his help.

Mu Shanshan, however, stood guard as if worried Lin Fei would trick her, which would certainly cause jealousy and frustration among those who knew Lin Fei’s identity and needed his help.

“I can only give you half an hour.”

Seeing Lin Fei’s apparent dissatisfaction, Mu Shanshan, not willing to give up on Meishilin so easily, lowered her head in thought for about a dozen seconds before reluctantly agreeing to Lin Fei’s plan to wait in the casino for Fang Wenxi’s arrival.

Of course, this did not mean Mu Shanshan truly trusted Lin Fei.

In her mind, although her bargain husband often made her life miserable, since their marriage, aside from frequently staying out all night, Lin Fei didn’t appear to have any gambling vices.

She agreed to join Lin Fei for a bit because she, President Mu, wanted to fulfill her duty as a wife to accompany her husband and share his joy.

Rarely did Lin Fei, her bargain husband, take an interest in anything, and as a wife, President Mu did not want to ruin his fun.

As for Lin Fei winning back Meishilin, President Mu clearly had no hope for that now.

The original intent of bringing Lin Fei to the charity dinner was to improve their marital relationship.

Since Lin Fei was in the mood to gamble, Mu Shanshan wasn’t going to spoil his enjoyment.

After all, this was their first time attending a banquet together.

Mu Shanshan had made up her mind: as long as Lin Fei didn’t lose too ridiculously, she would consider losing a few million as charity for the mountain areas.

“Ten minutes will suffice.”

Seeing Mu Shanshan nod, unaware that she, his CEO wife, was already bracing for him to lose money, Lin Fei, who had received 100,000 chips from the Royal Hotel for free, immediately pulled Mu Shanshan towards a nearby table.

Lin Fei didn’t know what Mu Shanshan was truly thinking.

If he found out she saw him as a husband who was only good for losing money, he wouldn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Although Lin Fei had no formal training in the various gambling techniques, during his initial trips abroad for mercenary missions, he spent quite some time undercover at a major underground casino in the Western Continent.

Idle times and circumstances led him to pick up some gambling skills at the casino.

He might fall to some professional gambling experts, but at the Royal Hotel, Lin Fei still had some confidence in winning big…
