782 What’s There To Be Afraid Of?
His wife was so dazzling, standing there lazily and shooting arrows, full of confidence. Each arrow not only hit the target, but also increased his admiration, making him crazy, infatuated, and intoxicated with her. Ji Yan could not help but lower his head and plant a gentle kiss on Shen Hanxing’s red lips. He was trying to restrain himself and his heart was throbbing. If there weren’t so many irksome people around, he would have definitely savored her sweetness, pulled her into his arms, and kissed her until she was like a puddle of water.
Lu Shaoyang’s face was ashen as he looked at the scene. His throat was so dry that he swallowed his saliva. He had a bad feeling. The loving scene between Ji Yan and Shen Hanxing was extremely glaring to him.
“Young Master Lu, you let me win.” Shen Hanxing looked at Lu Shaoyang with a faint smile in her limpid eyes. She said, “It seems that I’ve won this round.”
“Don’t be happy too early.” Lu Shaoyang could clearly feel his hands shaking. His mind went blank and he did not dare to think about what would happen next. He could only clench his teeth and lie to himself, “President Ji hasn’t played yet, right?” There was no reason for him to lose to these two people. He had always been a well-developed athlete. He was a powerful figure in the school and had excellent results in all kinds of competitions. How could he lose? Ji Yan definitely would not be able to beat him, Lu Shaoyang comforted himself inwardly.
Ji Yan’s face was calm. He bent down and picked up the bow and arrow. He looked at Lu Shaoyang indifferently and said, “10 million or 5 million is no difference to me, and it’s not attractive at all. What if we increase the stake a little bit more?”
He still wanted to increase the stakes? Lu Shaoyang’s pupils contracted. He could not help but say, “Could it be that you regret it, President Ji?”
The others were also a little surprised. They lowered their heads and whispered, “I’ve never heard of President Ji doing archery. Is President Ji confident in his victory or is he deliberately trying to screw over Lu Shaoyang? Could it be that President Ji doesn’t know how to shoot and is trying to use psychological tactics to make Lu Shaoyang admit defeat?”
All kinds of speculations emerged in everyone’s mind. In fact, Lu Shaoyang performed very well this time. It was already surprising enough that Shen Hanxing had managed to turn the tables with two heaven-defying results in a row. The heavens couldn’t be so unfair to let Shen Hanxing and Ji Yan be so outstanding, right? Speaking of which, Ji Yan was of the same age as them. However, Ji Yan went to study abroad at a young age and quickly took over the Ji Corporation after he returned to the country. He was not in the same circle as these people. Other than knowing that Ji Yan was a business genius praised by their fathers, they did not know much about him.
“It’s just to add a little bit more benefits to this bet.” Ji Yan turned a deaf ear to the crowd’s discussion. He looked at Lu Shaoyang quietly with his dark eyes and said, “If I win, you’ll apologize to my wife for your rudeness earlier. How about it?”
Ji Yan still remembered this? Shen Hanxing’s heart warmed. She pursed her red lips and could not help but smile. Ji Yan was a broad-minded person, but he was willing to be calculative for her. He would always remember everything about her, even if it was just a few rude words that were spoken to her.
Lu Shaoyang’s expression changed, and his face was burning. “President Ji’s love is as deep as the sea.” He gritted his teeth, and it was hard to tell whether he was more jealous or angry. He said, “I thought you’re a smart man, but I didn’t expect you to be charmed by her beauty. Aren’t you afraid that you’ll regret it in the future?” His heart seeped with venom, and he wanted to say more unpleasant words. However, the moment his eyes met Ji Yan’s cold eyes, he suddenly felt a chill and did not dare to say another word. He could only give a vague reply. Ji Yan’s eyes were too terrifying, like a bloodthirsty beast. It seemed that if he continued to speak, he would be torn apart.
“Young Master Lu, you don’t have to worry about it.” Ji Yan turned a deaf ear to Lu Shaoyang’s provocation and said in a cold voice, “Young Master Lu, you don’t dare to bet?”
“What’s there to be afraid of?” What men couldn’t stand the most was the provocation from their love rival. What was there for him to be afraid of? Lu Shaoyang felt that Ji Yan was just bluffing and trying to scare him off with harsh conditions. Lu Shaoyang did not believe that anyone in this world could really do this for their lover. It was just an excuse he was finding for himself.
Lu Shaoyang encouraged himself inwardly and then looked up at Ji Yan with a fierce look. “If I win, I want President Ji and Mrs. Ji to apologize to me!” His eyes were filled with almost crazy excitement. This was something Ji Yan had offered himself! They would definitely regret it!
