"I beg you, can you please stop fighting?" Tang Qing said to Zheng Yubai almost begging.
Zheng Yubai looked at her pitiful appearance. Although he hated her for being disrespectful and disobedient, he also felt sorry for her dilemma. He snorted coldly and finally put his fist away.
Seeing Zheng Yubai put away his fist, Fang Hongjin also put away his palms and tied the belt of his nightgown again.
"What exactly do you want?" Fang Hongjin asked Zheng Yubai.
"I want to take Tang Qing away." Zheng Yubai said.
Fang Hongjin suddenly seemed to remember something: "How did you get on the boat?"
Tang Qing was also a little surprised when he said that. This gambling boat was specially prepared for this gambling god competition. As a representative of Sanjiang Club, Fang Hongjin received an invitation from Yao Qian, which was normal. But Zheng Yubai also appeared here, which was a bit unbelievable.
"It's none of your business. Tang Qing, will you come with me?" Zheng Yubai didn't want to answer Fang Hongjin's question.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Fang Hongjin analyzed on his own: "The only people who can get on this gambling boat are gangsters like me, international collectors who have recently gathered in Jinghai, or gamblers who are competing for titles. You are not a gangster, and you are definitely not here to buy paintings. Are you here to participate in the God of Gamblers competition?"
After hearing what Fang Hongjin said, Tang Qing looked at Zheng Yubai strangely. She knew that her cousin only knew how to play a little bit of mahjong. If he could participate in the God of Gamblers competition, then she could also participate in the Miss World beauty pageant.
Zheng Yubai didn't answer, which was considered as tacit agreement. Tang Qing looked left and right, and could not imagine that this somewhat dull and rustic cousin would be qualified to participate in the God of Gamblers Competition.
Fang Hongjin raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with a weird smile, he sat down on the bed carelessly: "Zheng Yubai, I didn't expect you to have the ability to participate in the God of Gamblers Competition."
"There are many things you can't imagine." Zheng Yubai was extremely disgusted with Fang Hongjin and didn't want to say a word to him.
"If you and I fight here for Tang Qing, as a guest, nothing will happen to me. If you violate the rules here, you will probably be kicked off the boat." Fang Hongjin's words were full of threats.
"I would rather not participate in the God of Gamblers competition, but I must take Tang Qing away." Zheng Yubai didn't buy Fang Hongjin's trick at all.
"Haha, really?" Fang Hongjin laughed, "This is God's will. If you had come a few minutes later, Tang Qing would have been my woman."
After hearing what Fang Hongjin said, Zheng Yubai couldn't help but glance at Tang Qing, and saw that Tang Qing's face was red with shame and a little shy. This expression probably proved that Fang Hongjin was telling the truth, which made Zheng Yubai feel a little relieved. Since Tang Qing hadn't made a huge mistake, there was still room for redemption.
"Tang Qing, I know you are very resistant to your aunt and uncle's punishment this time, but it is wrong for you to escape without permission." Zheng Yubai knew that if he continued to exert pressure, Tang Qing would become more and more rebellious. Just like a spring, if you keep pressing it, the rebound force will become stronger and stronger. It is better to relax a little, maybe there will be a turnaround.
Tang Qing lowered her head and whispered, "Are they anxious?"
"My aunt was so anxious that she cried." said Zheng Yubai.
When Tang Qing heard this, she raised her head and asked anxiously, "Is mom okay?"
"That depends on whether you can return safely." Zheng Yubai said, "If you want to play on the gambling boat for a few days, I have no objection. But you can't be with Fang Hongjin. Maybe after the God of Gamblers competition is over, you and I can take Fang Hongjin to meet my aunt and uncle. If they agree that you two can be together, I won't interfere."
"Really?" For the first time, Tang Qing felt that Zheng Yubai was not so annoying.
"Once a word is spoken, it cannot be taken back. The only condition is that you stay in my room during the few days on the gambling boat."
Fang Hongjin was listening to the conversation between Zheng Yubai and Tang Qing with a smile on his face. When he heard this, he clapped his hands and said, "What a good move of retreating to advance. Just based on what you said, I want to see how far you can go in the God of Gamblers Tournament. You can take Tang Qing away. After the tournament, I will visit your aunt and uncle."
Tang Qing's face darkened at first. Although she wanted to do what Zheng Yubai said, she still blamed Fang Hongjin for not trying to keep her. But when she heard Fang Hongjin say that he was going to visit his parents, she suddenly became happy again, thinking that he still cared about her.
Zheng Yubai didn't want to pay attention to Fang Hongjin's annoying face. Since Fang Hongjin agreed, he would wait until after the God of Gamblers competition to settle the score with him.
Tang Qing and Fang Hongjin whispered something to each other, picked up the clothes scattered on the ground, and followed Zheng Yubai.
Zheng Yubai took Tang Qing back to the room and settled her down. He then ran to the next room and shared a room with Du Bisheng.
Although he was on the gambling boat and couldn't use any communication tools to contact his aunt and uncle, at least Tang Qing's problem had been temporarily solved, and Zheng Yubai felt relaxed. What happened in the past few days made him feel very tired. Although he and Du Bisheng were squeezed in the same bed, he fell asleep quickly.
When he woke up, it was already dark. When Zheng Yubai walked out of the room, he saw a guide girl introducing the facilities on the ship while leading all kinds of guests to their rooms. It seemed that starting from this night, there would be more and more people on the ship.
He came to Tang Qing's room and knocked on the door. Tang Qing opened the door and stuck her head out. Zheng Yubai was relieved to see that she stayed in the room obediently.
"Are you hungry?" Zheng Yubai asked.
“A little.”
"Let's go to the restaurant for dinner." Zheng Yubai shook the cruise ship map in his hand.
Zheng Yubai called Du Bisheng and introduced him to Tang Qing. Du Bisheng, the old man, was only interested in gambling. He glanced at Tang Qing casually and began to observe the terrain of the cruise ship. Tang Qing had never heard of Du Bisheng's reputation and thought he was just an ordinary old man, so she didn't care much.
Probably because the guests were boarding the ship one after another and had no time to eat, although the food in the restaurant was very rich, not only the eight major Chinese cuisines were available, but also various Western cold cuts, fruits and pastries, but there were only a few people coming to dine.
The empty restaurant was just the right place for Zheng Yubai and the other two to feast. Du Bisheng brought a plate of deep-sea oysters and, while eating, secretly told Zheng Yubai that this was a good aphrodisiac and refreshing food. Tang Qing heard it, rolled her eyes at the old man, and went to get a plate of fruit salad and eat some fine Western pastries.
Zheng Yubai likes to eat meat, so he filled a plate with pork, beef and mutton, and ate it with great pleasure. The cruise ship is so luxurious, so the chef must be top-notch. Zheng Yubai ate with a lingering fragrance, thinking that it would be great if he could live a life of good food and drinks with people serving him. (To be continued)
