An Shaosi did not seem to mind. He was not angry and went to the table to play Mahjong. As he shuffled the cards, he turned his head to look at Gu Ruochu. "Ruochu, aren't you going to sit next to your husband? I believe that your husband will only grow stronger if you're close to him."
"Go ahead and play your game. I don't know how to play Mahjong." Gu Ruochu did not move.
An Shaosi looked at the cards in his hand and glanced at Huo Nanchen. "A certain someone is really pitiful. He can't even convince his woman. He's no different from a lonely person like me."
"Why are you so talkative?" Huo Nanchen glared at him and then at Gu Ruochu.
"All right, I won't say anything else. I don't care whether you lose or not." An Shaosi had played a good hand, and his tone a little cocky. "Sometimes, a woman's influence on a man is unimaginable. You can tell that the yin and yang don't mix just by looking at Huo Nanchen's strange behavior."
Someone at the table laughed. "Young Master An, you're wrong. Huo Nanchen has a wife, and you're a single man. We can all see that the beautiful Mrs. Huo is here."
The others laughed as well, but An Shaosi looked at Gu Ruochu and Yang Xi and said, "What do you know? If a woman doesn't serve a man comfortably in bed, wouldn't he be full of anger? If you don't have enough to eat at home and you don't steal food outside, won't you go hungry? Do you think what I said is wrong? Why don't you go home and try it yourself? Let your wife look at you with a clear heart and a few desires and see if you can take it."
The others nodded in agreement.
"Hey, big brother, this is a lot of information."
An Shaosi's tone was getting impish. He was indirectly making fun of Gu Ruochu. Yang Xi's fists were clenched so tightly that they almost cracked.
Gu Ruochu was indifferent and did not have much of a reaction.
Yang Xi turned her head and pulled Gu Ruochu away.
At that moment, everyone's eyes were on Gu Ruochu. An Shaosi had underhandedly reprimanded her for refusing to sit by Huo Nanchen's side. It would be terrible if she left now.
"Eat some fruit and watch them play Mahjong. Everyone at this table is very handsome. Don't you want to feast your eyes on them?" Gu Ruochu coaxed Yang Xi.
"How the f*ck would I have the mood to look at handsome men when all I see is that cocky b*stard?" Yang Xi huffed angrily. Gu Ruochu found Yang Xi amusing and stuck a toothpick into an apple. "All right, eat an apple. Don't be angry."
Yang Xi's eyes lit up, and she bit down on the apple with a smile. "Thank you, Ruochu. You've always been good to me."
"I want to eat too."
Everyone at the table heard her and looked at them with an ambiguous gaze. An Shaosi had a faint smile on his face and signaled for her to join them at the table. Yang Xi bumped Gu Ruochu from behind, urging her to hurry up.
An Shaosi was really annoying!
Under the gaze of Huo Nanchen's friends, Gu Ruochu braced herself and walked over towards him with an apple in her hand. Just as she steadied herself, his arm wrapped around her waist.
With a strong push, she fell onto his body and sat on his lap.
He held her hand and bit into her apple. There was a sense of warmth in his eyes, and he looked at her sensually as he bit the apple.
Gu Ruochu loosened her grip and was scalded by his gaze. She instinctively tried to avoid it as the people at the table started to jeer.
