In the afternoon, Gong Heng took her to the thirty-third floor for a meal.
He smiled at her gently, "Eat something to fill your stomach first, we're going to a party later."
"Oh."
What party, it was a casino!
Gong Heng brought her to a casino.
Mu Mian had never known that there was a luxurious casino beneath the city center of B City, so large it was frightening. The decor was gilded, everywhere gleaming with golden hues, dozens of pillars all adorned in gold. The tables and chairs in the casino were also primarily golden.

Mingled into one.
Mu Mian clutched at his sleeve, "Why would you come to a place like this?"
