Fu Yingxiang coughed dryly. "Are you sure?"
Chen Yin was displeased. "Why would I lie to you? Why would I lie to you now?"
Chen Yin panicked when she realized that no one supported her.
Ji Xiaoyue chimed in. "My godson is a child prodigy. I believe that he has the ability to do so. Miss Fu, you don't have to jump to conclusions so quickly."
Fu Yingxiang's expression did not change despite being reprimanded by Ji Xiaoyue. She merely smiled faintly before she turned to look at Manager Wang and signaled for him to roll the dice.
The dice clinked against each other in the dice cup. Ye Huanyan was sitting closest to Naonnao. She realized that her son had closed his eyes and was mumbling something, but she could not hear him clearly.
With a clang, Manager Wang slammed the dice cup on the table and slowly moved it forward.
The dining table instantly quieted down. Not a single sound could be heard.
"How many?"
"2, 4, 6," Naonnao opened his eyes. His voice was tender, but his gaze was so firm that he did not seem to be someone his age.
Manager Wang lifted the dice cup nonchalantly.
Everyone looked at each other when they saw the numbers of the three dice in the cup. Other than Gu Sinian, everyone else had a look of disbelief on their faces.
"Again."
Manager Wang seemed to have never heard of this before. He did not wait for anyone to react before he hurriedly rolled the dice again.
"How many?"
"1, 3, 6."
He lifted the dice cup and it was exactly the same.
"Again."
"…"
"How many?"
"2, 4, 5."
He lifted the dice cup and it was exactly the same.
He repeated the same thing more than ten times, but he did not miss a single time.
Manager Wang was sweating profusely as though he had just run a marathon. He stared blankly at Naonnao. "Luckily, we wronged Miss Chen last night. If we had allowed them to continue playing, they would have won the entire casino."
Naonnao was holding a wooden spoon as he dug into the mashed potatoes in front of him. He looked nonchalant as he spoke in a childish voice.
"Isn't it just good hearing? What's the big deal? Don't make such a fuss. "
His childish voice was accompanied by the expression of a little adult, but his hands were clumsily digging for mashed potatoes. This scene made everyone laugh heartily.
After the meal, everyone left the casino.
Gu Sinian accompanied Ji Xiaoyue back to the hotel. Chen Yin also left with Naonnao. Before leaving, Ye Huanyan hugged Fu Yingxiang and winked slyly.
"You're really not coming with me?"
"I still have some things to do this time. I'll definitely look for you when I'm done."
"If I didn't have a scene at the theater tomorrow, I would have stayed here with you tonight."
"There's plenty of time. Now that I've broken the ice with your brother, your Four Seasons Villa should release me in the future, right?"
Fu Yingxiang was talking about nine years ago, after she was angered by Gu Duo and left, the entire Four Seasons Villa had maintained a state of alert against her and forbade her from entering.
"Of course, you're welcome at any time. You're my fourth sister."
Fu Yingxiang sent her out of the casino. After the waiter opened the car door, she held the door and looked at Ye Huanyan in the car. Her eyes suddenly dimmed.
"Say, if the person in the villa back then wasn't Gu Duo but you, would Si Nian and I still have a chance?"
"… Fourth sister …" Ye Huanyan didn't know how to comfort her.
Fu Yingxiang suddenly smiled.
"Forget it. Some people are destined to have deep love but shallow fate."
After saying this, she closed the car door and waved at Ye Huanyan through the window as she watched her leave.
Fate was something that couldn't be explained clearly. More than ten years ago, Gu Sinian promised to marry her when he came back from South America, but a year later, he brought back a woman named Su Ke.
Nine years ago, she pulled her suitcase and shamelessly moved into his house despite her father's objections. She ate and lived with him for half a year and accompanied him through the lowest point of his life.
At that time, he said that he would consider her after he got his child's ashes from Gu Duo.
It was just a weakness in front of Gu Duo, and it became an excellent excuse to reject her. She treated this excuse as a promise and kept it for nearly ten years.
Then he held another woman's hand and told her again that he was going to get married.
"Hello? I'm Fu Yingxiang. "
"Yes, what's the matter?"
"Don't get me wrong. I just want to ask you, other than taking photos, did Yan Yan come to Las Vegas for her ex-husband's wedding? I heard that it's going to be held in a church in the suburbs this week with Gu Duo."
"What's wrong? Are you going to interfere? "
"Don't say it as if it has nothing to do with you. Gu Duo won't be willing to marry someone else. And even if she's willing, that person can't be Yan Yan's ex-husband. You should know this better than I do."
"I know."
"Then what do you plan to do?"
"…"
There was silence on the other end of the phone. After a while, Fu Yingxiang sighed, "Don't worry about it.
You don't have to worry about it. I'll take care of it. Consider it as me owing you and your sister a favor. Consider it my wedding gift to you. "
She wasn't a person who made promises easily. She valued her promises more than anything else.
So she would definitely do what she promised.
Gu Sinian's deep voice came from the other end of the phone. It was very solemn.
"Thank you."
It was late at night, and the moon was high in the sky outside the window. Fu Yingxiang couldn't help but think of those nights when she looked at the moon with him on the balcony nine years ago at the Four Seasons Villa.
"Sinian, if I change the request that I was going to use to threaten you this morning into a question, would you agree?"
Her voice was a little sad, and he couldn't bear to refuse.
"Ask."
"This question is actually very vulgar. Don't mind it."
"Okay."
"If it was Ji Xiaoyue now and I was in the same situation nine years ago, would you let her go?"
Nine years ago, it was when she was closest to Gu Sinian. She once thought that after spending those days with him, it would be a lifetime.
There was a long silence on the other end of the phone.
When he spoke again, his voice was very difficult.
"Sorry."
This answer seemed to have nothing to do with the question, but she understood the meaning of these two words better than anyone else.
Sorry, if it was her, I wouldn't let her go.
Nine years ago, she lived in the Four Seasons Villa's Nanyuan and accompanied Gu Sinian every day. After half a year, his sister, who had admired him for many years, felt threatened, so she used a set of ashes to threaten her to leave the villa.
In her eyes, death was like a light going out. All of this was meaningless. However, in Gu Sinian's eyes, it was the belief of Gu Duo's hometown. A dead person should be buried in the ground. A broken body could not be reincarnated, so he tacitly agreed that Gu Duo let her go.
She used to think that no woman could compare to Su Ke. Her love for him was only second to this dead woman and his child.
But she was wrong.
The word 'sorry' made her finally realize that that love was just her imagination. Nine years ago, Gu Sinian just needed a woman's warm companionship, and she happened to appear and accompany him for a period of time. During that time, she thought that the gentleness had nothing to do with love. It was all an illusion.
"You have nothing to be sorry for. In fact, you were willing to take such a big risk to save me five years ago. We're even."
Nine years ago, she used the life-saving grace five years ago as a reward. Since then, they didn't owe each other anything.
After hanging up the phone, Fu Yingxiang leaned against the soft cushion of the bay window and looked at the bustling streets of Las Vegas. Her heart became more and more lonely and empty.
The night was dark, and tears were flowing.
