Gu Xiaoer's face was alight with excitement, but as Sister Sun turned her head without setting aside the task in her hands, she smiled and said, "Miss Xiaoer, I don't know how to play 'Fight the Landlord'!"
"Ah—Sister Sun, I can teach you." She really was bored out of her mind.
"Sister Sun still has to prepare dinner for the gentleman and the lady, so you two go ahead and play."
The girl frowned, "But we need three people to play..."
"Ahem, I don't know how either." Han Luoli set down the financial magazine he was holding and gave a light cough with his fist to his chin.
Hey, wasn't Da Luoluo supposed to be all-capable? He didn't even know how to 'Fight the Landlord'!
The wheels in the mind of a certain little rascal lit up delightfully, and eager as could be, she scampered over to Han Luoli, grabbing the man's arm and cooing, "I really want to play!" Actually, she wanted to beat him at least once—hahaha!
...The man's brows tightened—the voice was too sweet!
He then leisurely took out his phone and made a call with one click, his cello-like voice emanating calm, "Wei Feng, come over for 'Fight the Landlord.' Bring some playing cards up too."
Wei Feng, who was driving on the road to the hospital, replied steadily, "Okay, Boss." Then, what? What? He doubted his own ears. Did his boss just say they'd play cards and 'Fight the Landlord,' including him?
Although the CEO had been doing some strange, unbelievable things these days, the ever-so-composed Wei Feng still couldn't trust his ears.
"You didn't hear wrong," Han Luoli thoughtfully added.
Wei Feng, completely dumbfounded, shivered and nearly steered the car into the flowerbed.
"Yay!" Gu Xiaoer became tremendously excited after Han Luoli hung up the phone. She might not outsmart him, outdesign him, or outdo him in strength, but this time, she was determined to turn the tables!
Soon enough, Wei Feng arrived at the hospital carrying six decks of playing cards. He knew 'Fight the Landlord' didn't require that many cards, but what if the Boss got into the mood to play something like 'Guard the Emperor' or 'Running Fast'? It wasn't out of the question!
Wei Feng knocked and entered the distinguished VIP ward, where his Boss, as calm as Mount Tai, was meticulously trimming Miss Gu's nails.
Seeing him come in, a certain someone ran over to greet him cheerfully.
"Wei Feng, come quick, we've been waiting for you for so long." She bounced over, and the turquoise on her ears danced vivaciously as well.
Wei Feng's small eyes widened—that was the engagement token of his boss!
"It's... It's..." His boss had really found a fiancée, and this fiancée truly was Miss Gu! Goodness, could there be a more melodramatic twist of fate?
Han Luoli suddenly coughed, and the startled Wei Feng immediately snapped back to reality, "It's an honor, Miss Gu, Bo... the gentleman notified me and I came right over."
Ah, his boss's gaze was terrifying—he almost let it slip just now.
The cards were quickly dealt, the three sat down, and Gu Xiaoer had already gone over the basic rules of the game. Han Luoli promptly said he understood.
At that moment, Wei Feng, playing as the landlord, put down a sequence, and Han Luoli furrowed his brows. His long fingers tapped on the sequence he had just dealt, "Why can cards of different suits be put together?"
Although the voice was cool, the question he asked... nearly made Wei Feng toss the cards in his hand away.
Wei Feng cleared his throat, "Bo... Boss, 'Fight the Landlord' is about the rank of cards, not the suits!"
Han Luoli squinted his eyes, looked on for a bit, and responded, "Okay, I've got it." With that, he calmly returned to the game, unembarrassed by his ignorance in front of his subordinate.
After three rounds, when Gu Xiaoer saw that Han Luoli had gotten the hang of it, she giggled mischievously, "Let's play with some chips!"
