"Fu, you’re overthinking it. Didn’t he win?"

"But in gambling, there are only two outcomes. It’s either winning or losing." Fu Chenghao smirked, his smile full of ambiguity. "Which means, Qin Feimo is always prepared to lose you."

Feng Jinglei was struck, standing there like a statue.

His words seemed to be trying to drive a wedge between her and Qin Feimo, but each word was like a knife, stabbing into her heart, painfully laying bare the truth.

The fleeting hurt that crossed her face was not lost on Fu Chenghao, who was momentarily taken aback.

"However..." After a brief pause, he suddenly continued, staring at the person in front of him, "He is willing to bet his life for you. That, I find surprising."

Upon hearing this, Feng Jinglei was a bit surprised, not understanding what he meant.

"What?"

Fu Chenghao left it at that, not elaborating further.

Saying more would only help Qin Feimo. Why should he cut off his own chances to aid his rival in love?

Feng Jinglei stared at him, her brows slightly furrowed.

What exactly did he mean by that? Qin Feimo betting his life for her?

"What did you mean by what you just said?"

Fu Chenghao raised an eyebrow, pressed his thin lips together, and smiled with a rebellious edge, "Nothing much, just that you might as well come with me. I guarantee that whatever Qin Feimo can give you, I can too. And what he can’t give, I can!"

Caught off guard by Fu Chenghao’s sudden teasing, Feng Jinglei’s expression turned cold as she stood up from the couch.

"Hey, don’t go!" Seeing she was leaving, Fu Chenghao quickly stood up, his height over six feet towering over Feng Jinglei, exuding a strong sense of pressure.

Just as she turned, her arm was tightly grasped by the man’s long fingers, Feng Jinglei’s brow furrowing in annoyance.

"Is Fu always this type of guy who grabs a woman whenever he sees one?"

Startled by her sudden retort, Fu Chenghao was momentarily dumbfounded, but then grinned. Instead of being displeased, he found her attitude appealing.

After all, given his status, there were countless women vying for his attention, and no woman had ever dared to speak to him like this. Feng Jinglei was the first, and it piqued his interest even more.

"No, you’re the first woman I can’t help but want to grab hold of."

"..." Feng Jinglei was stunned.

She had intended to provoke him into letting go, but it backfired.

Staring at the hand tightly gripping her arm, Feng Jinglei looked up to find Fu Chenghao smiling with an insolent charm.

"You—" 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Just as she was about to shake off Fu Chenghao, a force suddenly pulled her hand away from his grasp.

Regaining her senses, she saw that familiar profile and couldn’t help but freeze.

Qin Feimo forcefully pulled her hand away, Fu Chenghao snapped back, meeting his gaze filled with a piercing chill, the corners of his lips curling into a faint smile once more.

"Feimo, what a coincidence."

Qin Feimo glanced at him, saying nothing, but turned to stare at Feng Jinglei, his gaze intensely penetrating.

His sudden return left Feng Jinglei momentarily stunned. It wasn’t until she met his dark eyes that she murmured, "You’re... back."

Qin Feimo was somewhat angry, his face cold, as he led her toward the elevator!
