Chapter 404 - 404 Don't Dare?

404 Don’t Dare?

Ye Xuan and Liu Yanran scanned the audience seats and saw a quiet place with no one around. They walked over.

As soon as they sat down, they saw a few people walking towards them from below. These people were following behind a young man with a cigar in his mouth and a thumb ring on his finger. They looked like they were flattering him.

When the lackeys saw Liu Yanran, they exclaimed in surprise.

“Liu… Liu Yanran?!”

When Liu Yanran heard them call her, she looked at them in confusion.

At this moment, the few people spoke again.

“I’m Liu Feng!”

“I’m Li Lu. Have you forgotten? We’re university classmates.”

“Girls change drastically when they grow up. In just a few years, Liu Yanran went from a goddess to a fairy. Back then, there were many people wooing you in university, but none of them succeeded. You were called the Ice Goddess in the faculty.”

“Hehe, that’s right. I really miss that period of time.”

When Liu Yanran heard their words, she finally reacted.

The three young men in front of her were all her university classmates. She had never spoken to them usually, so she could barely remember them.

Hence, she greeted them and said, “Oh, I remember. It’s been a long time. Are you here to watch the dog betting too?”

Liu Feng smiled and pointed at the young man with the cigar.

“This is Zheng Yue. We’re here to play with Brother Zheng.”

Zheng Yue finally heard someone introduce him. He smiled confidently and held the cigar in his mouth without any intention of taking it out.

“This beauty is called Liu Yanran, right? My name is Zheng Yue. My family has a few companies and I like to play around when I have nothing to do. That child is your brother, right? There are only the two of you. Why don’t you play with us? All the food and drinks are on me.”

Zheng Yue did not dare to open his mouth wide, afraid that the cigar would fall, so his voice was a little strange.

Moreover, as he spoke, his eyes kept wandering over Liu Yanran’s face, chest, waist, and long black silk legs in a skirt.

His intentions were self-evident.

When the people behind heard Zheng Yue’s words, they began to agree and persuaded her.

“That’s right. Your brother doesn’t understand this. It’s boring for you to watch alone.”

“Let’s play together. It’ll be more lively. Back then, when the school held an event, didn’t everyone play together?”

When Liu Yanran saw Zheng Yue’s attitude, she felt disgusted and was unhappy. Then, she looked at Ye Xuan, wanting him to make a decision.

Ye Xuan naturally knew what the rich second-generation heir called Zheng Yue thought, but why would they reject free food and drinks?

“Sure, let’s have fun together.”

Ye Xuan looked at Liu Yanran and smiled.

When they heard this, they heaved a sigh of relief and looked at Zheng Yue.

Zheng Yue was also very happy. He immediately waved at the staff and spoke arrogantly.

“I’ll book this area. Please invite everyone who is unrelated out for a while. Also, get some drinks and food over.”

The audience seats were all sectioned. He was referring to the place where he was standing.

The staff nodded and began to make arrangements

After instructing them, Zheng Yue walked over and looked at Liu Yanran.

“This is your first time playing, right? Let me briefly explain the rules of the dog competition here. First of all, the first way to play is to casually choose two dogs. As long as they can rank among the top two, you will be rewarded. The minimum bet is 100 yuan. It’s relatively high in the Eighth Mansion. This is relatively simple, but it doesn’t cost much. It’s meaningless.”

“The second way to play is that the dog you choose has to be in first place, which means that it has to win. If you win, they will give you a prize. Compared to the first way of playing, it’s more interesting. The prize money is also very high.”

“The third way is to win consecutively. The two dogs you choose have to enter the top two, but there’s no limit to their positions. The fourth way is to choose three dogs. All of them have to enter the top three. If you win this, you’ll win a lot of money.”

As Zheng Yue spoke, he pointed at the huge screen hanging in midair and continued.

“On the screen over there, the odds of each dog getting first place will be displayed. Moreover, it will change constantly. The closer it is to the start of the competition, the faster it will change. It’s very useful to watch this because if a dog with high odds, which is an unpopular dog, gets into the top two, the bonus will be high. Meanwhile, if a dog with low odds wins, you will get very little money. Sometimes, you can only win 10.1 yuan for 10 yuan. It’s similar to not earning anything.”

“I can be considered a veteran dog racer. I usually like to come and play when I have nothing to do. I’ve also bet on a lot of dark horses and earned quite a lot.”

Zheng Yue smiled and looked at Liu Yanran.

“How is it, beautiful? Does it sound interesting?”

Liu Yanran was speechless. She had not listened to him at all and was not interested at all.

Therefore, she ignored him and looked at the big screen thoughtfully.

At this moment, the staff walked into the arena with six different breeds of dogs and placed them at the starting point of each track.

Seeing this, Zheng Yue hurriedly picked up his phone and placed a bet online. The people behind him surrounded him and bet a few hundred yuan with Zheng Yue.

“Hehe, following Brother Zheng will earn you a lot of money.”

“This time, I bet 800 yuan on that unpopular dog. The odds are terrifyingly high. If I win, it will be 8,000 yuan, ten times the initial amount!”

“Just follow Brother Zheng and bet. You’ll earn a lot of money.”

Zheng Yue was still a little happy to hear these people’s flattering words. Then, he smiled at Liu Yanran.

“How about a bet or two, pretty lady?”

Liu Yanran glanced at him and shook her head.

“No, you guys can play.”

She didn’t have such a hobby, and she wasn’t interested in gambling at all. She even hated it a little. It was fine to watch others play, but if they pulled her along to play, it would be considered polite to reject them.

Zheng Yue’s eyes moved. He thought for a moment and advised her.

“How about this? I can lend you money. If you win, it’ll be yours. If you lose, it’ll be mine. How about that? Just play. Otherwise, it’ll be boring to just watch, right?”

He was trying his best to please Liu Yanran because he coveted her beauty. Anyone with discerning eyes could tell, but they did not expose him.

Liu Yanran naturally knew this, but she hated his actions. Wasn’t he persuading her to gamble?

She was also angry at the moment, but she did not show it. She spoke coldly.

“I’m not interested. You guys play by yourselves.”

After saying that, she looked away and ignored him.

When her classmates saw Liu Yanran giving Zheng Yue a hard time, they also mocked her. It was not unpleasant, but it was not pleasant either.

“No way, Liu Yanran. Why does she not dare to gamble anymore after graduating for so many years?”
