The Reigning Star: Tycoon's Exclusive Obsession-Chapter 740 - 738 Taking Sleeping Pills?
After finishing the New Year’s Eve dinner, she, her dad, Aunt He, and Shen Congling would also play mahjong together. Her dad and Aunt He were quite skilled, and over time, she had picked up some skills too.
So this time she was quite confident, and sure enough, she dominated the game right from the start. Lu Qingyuan couldn’t help but say, "Tongtong is really talented, not only can she play chess, but she’s also great at mahjong."
"Oh, not at all!" Even though she said that, she showed no mercy in her moves.
Lu Beichen said, "My wife specifically plans to win back the money I lost before!"
Hearing him say that, Ji Niandong recovered herself and discreetly let the elders win some money—that’s where the real skill lies.
Lu Qingyuan snorted, "Don’t get too happy too soon!"
Ji Niandong chuckled softly, and sure enough, she started losing towards the end. That was her tactic: if she kept losing from the start, the winners wouldn’t feel it was fun, and if she kept winning, it would also embarrass the elders, so she would let them win a bit when she’d almost won enough, giving them a sense of achievement.
They only finished when it was almost twelve o’clock, after Little Bun had taken a nap and woken up.
"It’s almost twelve o’clock, son!"
Lu Beichen called out, and Lu Sinian quickly snapped to it, grabbing Ji Niandong’s hand to take her upstairs, "Mom, I’m taking you to a good place to watch the fireworks!"
He moved so fast that Ji Niandong hadn’t even reacted before she heard Lu Qingyuan shout, "Big grandson, that’s grandpa and grandma’s spot!"
Lu Beichen blocked their way directly, saying, "Dad, first come, first served!"
Zhang Huiqin couldn’t help but laugh, "Alright, us old folks won’t compete with them!"
Lu Qingyuan glared angrily, leading Zhang Huiqin upstairs to the second floor.
Lu Sinian took Ji Niandong directly to the top floor attic. This attic had floor-to-ceiling windows, which were very large, allowing an unobstructed view of the outside world, and it wouldn’t be cold in winter. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
"Mom, isn’t this a great place to watch the fireworks? It used to be grandpa and grandma’s spot, but we beat them to it this year!" Little Bun was extremely excited.
"Hmm, you’re quite good with idioms!"
"Don’t be like dad, okay?" Lu Sinian rolled his eyes at her.
Ji Niandong hugged her son and sat by the window, quietly watching outside, "Where’s your dad?"
"He’s setting off fireworks!" Lu Sinian said cheerfully, "He’s in charge of setting off fireworks for us to watch! So he suggested I take you to grab the spot first, saying he wanted to give mom a surprise!"
"Oh, I see!" Ji Niandong smiled, "Son, you know surprises aren’t supposed to be announced. Remember this if you grow up and have a girlfriend!"
"Eww~" Lu Sinian made a sound of disdain, "I’m still young, I don’t need to know these!"
After they all left, Lu Beichen finally noticed his phone, a long string of messages and missed calls were all from Gu Xiyao!
Lu Beichen frowned tightly, and was about to delete them when he realized Gu Xiyao hadn’t returned to Paris!
"Little Uncle, where are you?"
"Little Uncle, I’m so lonely and bored here by myself, can I come find you?"
"Little Uncle, I’m sorry, please don’t ignore me, okay?"
...
She had been sending him messages for several hours!
Lu Beichen thought Gu Xiyao might have gone mad!
He selected all the messages and deleted them directly, then suddenly another message came in, "Little Uncle, it’s almost twelve o’clock, I know you don’t like me, and I hate myself so much right now, really hate it!"
Lu Beichen reached out to turn off his phone, but another message came through, accompanied by a picture.
Sleeping pills?!
