Chapter 173 Your Wife Wins
This time it was Shen Chaoxi's turn to glare at the neatly dressed man who was sitting at his desk in a meeting.
How could she forget that the meanness in Shang Jianghan's bones had never disappeared.
Half an hour later, Shang Jianghan hurriedly ended the video conference, and Shen Chaoxi almost cried after defeating Song Yang.
This couple is his natural nemesis!
The four people did not call for a mahjong table, but played poker, the most popular two-group game.
Combination of men and women.
Song Yang disliked Shang Jianghan and transferred her anger to Shen Chaoxi, so she chose to be in the same group with Zhongli.
Zhongli was very disappointed with his friend.
"Song Yang, do you think I have a little turtle? How dare you come up with one before I finish the second one!"
We fought for four rounds, and every time we were about to win, this guy would hold us back.
Song Yang also had a point, and he tilted his neck high to make excuses for himself.
"I just couldn't use my brain cells stimulated by you! Jiang Han and his wife stimulated me, and you two brothers and sisters also PUA me!"
Jong Suk-hee shuffles the cards skillfully. The ring on his left middle finger is illuminated by the light and shines brightly. He wears the same watch as Shang Jianghan, highlighting his identity.
His toe bones are relatively large, his fingers are slender with distinct joints, and the veins on the back of his hands are faintly visible. Judging from his palms, he seems to be someone who is not easy to mess with and has a bad temper, but in fact he is a gentleman.
After hearing Song Yang's words, Zhong Shuoxi looked up and smiled: "What word?"
Shang Jianghan walked closer with a smile on his lips.
"Win or lose?"
The question was asked along with the scent of his woody fragrance floating down from above his head. Shen Chaoxi felt a tingling sensation on the back of his neck and an unnatural warmth on his face.
Being kissed in public in a vine pavilion facing the wind and snow was an experience that took her a long time to calm down.
The Zhong brothers and sisters sat next to each other. Between them, on the square table, was a bag of golden popcorn, which had been half eaten.
After finishing a game of cards, Zhongli put two cards into his mouth without any image and chewed them with a crunching sound.
As someone who controls her figure, this action makes people doubt whether she did it on purpose.
Song Yang felt a throbbing sensation in his temple.
This evil fire had nowhere to ignite, and it just happened to catch the culprit.
“Your wife wins!
It's really fish to fish, shrimp to shrimp! Otherwise you two can't be a couple!"
Song Yang deserves the title of poisonous tongue.
This remark quickly aroused public anger.
Shang Jianghan picked up the cigarette box and threw it towards Song Yang.
The yellow paper box was caught by Song Yang in mid-air.
"Just right, I'm craving for a cigarette, I'm going to the balcony to smoke, you come over, let's see if you dare to beat your wife?"
Song Yang and Shen Chaoxi are in an opposing situation. After accepting Song Yang's cards, Shang Jianghan can only choose to oppose Shen Chaoxi.
Without hesitation, he sat in Song Yang's seat and started drawing cards.
The Zhong brothers and sisters seemed to be enjoying the show and would not ask to switch places with him.
Wouldn't it be more exciting if we fought?
Shen Chaoxi noticed the subtle expression.
They are all a bunch of bad friends!
"Let's play Landlord. It doesn't matter who plays with whom. If we win three people, we lose one." Shang Jianghan suggested.
He has a strong sense of not going against his wife!
"it is good!"
"agree!"
So the four of them reshuffled the cards.
Shen Chaoxi's cards were surprisingly good this time, with big and small jokers, two twos, two ones, and she also got a five-card combo from her hole cards. Even if three people joined forces, she would surely win, so she decisively called for the landlord.
"What's the bet?" Shang Jianghan asked before playing the cards.
There were no weights or anything like that on the table except for a half-full bag of popcorn.
"There's no bet, you want to lose money?" Jong Suk-hee asked in order of the cards.
"Brother Jiang Han, how do we make the bet?" Zhongli was in high spirits. She glanced at Shen Chaoxi secretly and said, "Also, don't forget that we are all serfs. Our goal is to turn the tables and fight against the landlords! You can't hold us back and make a move just because you see a beautiful landlady!"
After hearing this, Jong Suk Hee gave his sister a thumbs up.
Shang Jianghan put the cards in his hand back into place under his bony white fingers, and quickly closed them. His card-swiping skills were very cool. "This is not just one game. There is no favoritism at the card table." After he finished speaking, he looked at Shen Chaoxi with deep black eyes.
They are all acquaintances, so Shen Chaoxi would not blush because of Zhongli's jokes, but she is not a shameless person either.
"Then what do you want to bet on?" Shen Chaoxi asked.
Her eyes were bright, enveloped by the incandescent light, and her cheeks seemed to be surrounded by a silver halo.
Shang Jianghan just asked casually and hadn't thought about it yet.
After some hesitation, Song Yang returned.
"Do lesbians have lipstick?" If you lose, put on makeup.
Listen, how damaging!
But it’s a good idea!
It doesn't matter if a girl puts on makeup, but for a man, even just wearing lipstick will make him look good.
"Agree!" Shen Chaoxi and Zhongli said almost in unison.
"Then I'll join in, let's play fifty bucks!"
Half an hour later, Shang Jianghan's face was plain and spotless, Shen Chaoxi only had a circle with the smell of strawberry fructose drawn on his forehead, and the other three were in a horrible state.
"Let's take a photo as a souvenir!" Shen Chaoxi took out his cell phone as a prank and took a selfie before anyone could react.
"Don't worry. I'll go to the photocopy room in a few days to develop a few enlargements and give one to each of you. Do you want them framed?"
"Shen Chaoxi! I want to hang you on the lamppost!"
During our trip to the hot spring villa, the weather was nice. It snowed heavily for three days on and off. The roads in the whole city were covered with snow, and the snow-clearing process in the suburbs was slow.
The group was trapped here for five days.
Early in the morning on New Year's Day, the road was finally clear.
Shen Chaoxi and Shang Jianghan drove to the sanatorium first.
According to custom, today is the New Year and we should go back to the old house, but the old man was in a nursing home, so we went there.
The eldest and second eldest merchants' families also arrived around noon.
Everyone was busy and after lunch, they didn't stay long before going back home.
Shen Chaoxi had a stuffy nose early in the morning. When she arrived at the villa, the heat hit her in the face. Not only did she not feel hot, she shivered instead.
As the saying goes, illness comes like a mountain falling.
By the afternoon, Shen Chaoxi had a slight fever.
The New Year’s Day holiday is three days long, and today is only the first day.
Shang Jianghan called his family doctor and had a check-up. It turned out that it wasn't a serious problem, just the flu.
Shen Chaoxi was dizzy with fever and even while receiving an IV drip, she reminded Shang Jianghan to stay away from her to avoid getting infected.
With his work at Lianzhong and his own job, he was too busy to allow him to fall ill again.
"You can sleep in the guest bedroom. It has all the supplies. Let's turn on the fresh air first."
Shen Chaoxi was leaning against the head of the bed, with an IV needle inserted in the back of his hand, wrapped in a layer of medical tape.
In the villa, my aunt also has a day off today.
"Are you feeling better?" Shang Jianghan came out of the cloakroom and put his hand on her forehead.
"The fever is gone, but the sound hasn't recovered yet."
"How can it be that fast!" Shen Chaoxi said in a muffled voice.
Then her eyes passed over Shang Jianghan's neat and crisp shirt and trousers.
"You want to go out?" She glanced over the man's shoulder at the time on the clock.
Six o'clock in the afternoon.
The group has already gone off work, and there are still things to do and social engagements to attend.
Shen Chaoxi thought about these days, especially the last two days when he was trapped in the villa, Shang Jianghan's phone rang almost non-stop.
It’s not easy to be a big boss!
Shang Jianghan held his left wrist with his right hand to fasten the watch clasp.
The cold white fingers had slightly bulging veins on the back of their hands due to the slightly forceful movement.
