Destined Wife: The Apple of My Eye

Among a large group of people with oriental appearances, in fact, the short-sized man walking in the middle of the group is the most eye-catching one. He looks exactly like what he is in the photo, who turns out to be Gaoqi Yihai.

“His height circulated online must have been misrepresented.” Gungun has a different focus from others.

Wuyou smiles and pulls him away.

As Gaoqi Yihai enters the restaurant, he turns back his head and glances at them.

“Those two are from Hua Country,” His assistant whispers, “They’re so good looking and should be celebrities.”

Gaoqi Yihai sits down and smiles, “Celebrities aren’t as noble as them, who should be the children of the top families in Hua Country. Don’t bother with or mess up with them. The kind of family in Hua Country pays a lot of attention to inheritance. And those two kids look like excellent heirs at a glance.”

“Copy that!”

That night, Gungun looks quite excited. That’s because he can finally go into the casino. He only went to the kind of small casino on a gambling ship before. And this is the biggest casino on the planet. He, who turns 18, surely can go inside openly.

“I have exchanged $1,000 in chips. We’ll go back when we lose them all!” Although Gungun says so verbally, his expression indicates that he is ready to kill it all. He doesn’t believe he will lose them all.

Shirla sneers, “I don’t know how come a rookie like you is that confident.”

“Wait and see!” Gungun goes to the poker table quite confidently. And the result is that he has lost all $1,000 in less than an hour.

He is worse than Wuyou, who has won $50 with the complimentary 20 chips.

“No way!” Gungun refuses to accept the reality and feels that something must have gone wrong somewhere.

“I want to do it again!” He pulls out his credit card and is stopped by Wuyou.

Wuyou gives him a few chips in her hand, “Use these. We’ll go back after the game.” f𝓇𝘦e𝑤𝘦𝚋𝒏૦ѵℯ𝒍.c𝐨𝒎

Then Gungun loses it all again. He slumps his head.

“Wuyou... What should I do? Uncle said he even won a few hundred dollars on his first visit to the casino. I...”

“He lied to you,” Wuyou says, “I heard from Mom that Uncle lost over a million dollars in one night and was beaten by Grandmother by the ears.”

Gungun’s eyes light up instantly, “Really?”

“Yes. I heard Grandmother scold him by myself.”

“Then let’s go back,” Gungun is in a good mood and says, “The casino isn’t interesting at all.”

Shirla squints her eyes.

“Why are you leaving?” Billy runs over to them from the neighboring table with a thick stack of chips in his hand.

Gungun pretends he can’t see what’s in Billy’s hand, “I’m hungry. I will go out and get something to eat before I come back here.”

Billy says understandingly, “You can order food here.”

Gungun shakes his head, “We’re going to eat outside. I hear there’s a famous burger store nearby.”

“I know which one you are talking about! It’s not far away. Go ahead! Remember to come back later to play.”

Gungun certainly isn’t going for a snack. He surely can’t take in more food after a stuffed meal tonight. He drags Wuyou out of the hall and sees that there is another hall next to it, which is full of slot machines and gaming machines.

He ever played one kind of machine, whose large body is divided into many slots. And each slot can be invested with game coins. Once a coin is put in, the back will push a bit, making the game coins in the front fall down.

The more game coins fall down, the more the players will win, which isn’t easy. Gungun remembers the first time he played it, none of the hundreds of game coins was left in the end. However, he didn’t have many opportunities to play this game after that.

He asks Wuyou, “Let’s play this one, shall we?”

Wuyou is fine with that. So they go to exchange for another 100 game coins. If 100 game pieces are put to good use, they can earn a lot of money back! Gungun searches around, trying to find a machine with more game coins on the edge, which will make the game coins fall down with the most ease.

“This one.” Wuyou finds one, whose several slots are full of game coins and where game coins can fall off easily.

So they hold a bucket of game coins, dropping game coins into the machine one after another. One of the slots has a $100 pressed into it. If they get it down, they will make a profit. They are aiming for the $100. As the $100 is on the edge, a woman pounds on the machine suddenly.

“Excuse me, I just put the $100 in.”

Gungun doesn’t even come to his senses, “What do you mean?”

“I just went to the bathroom. And now I’m coming back to continue playing it.” The woman is wearing heavy makeup and a pretty low-cut dress. The bag in her hand is a luxury one. But her temperament indicates that she doesn’t resemble an official lady from a rich family. In that case, she can only be...

“What’s wrong?” Sure enough, another middle-aged man comes over wearing a big gold chain with a emerald ring on his right thumb, who looks obviously rich and stupid.

“Look at them! We just sat there. And now they’re taking it.” The woman leans close to the man’s arms and confesses petulantly, “You put that $100 in there. And I want it back!”

The man glares at Gungun and Wuyou. His tone grows fiercer as he sees that they are two young children.

“Hey, do you hear me? Get out of my way quickly.”

Gungun smiles, “Is it your place?”

“We just played here!” The woman looks at him and then at Wuyou, feeling overwhelmingly jealous.

These two children are covered in big brands from their heads to the toes. And the watch on the boy’s hand will cost at least a million dollars if it is an authentic one. And the girl’s backpack is a limited edition, which can’t be purchased at the market at all. Nowadays, kids who are the rich second generation are so young. But she can only sleep with such an old man...

She thinks Wuyou is the same as her. However, being a rich kid’s little girlfriend must be a lot more comfortable than she is. As she thinks in that way, the words coming out of her mouth are even more vicious.

“Do your parents know that you’re out with a man at a young age?”

Wuyou glimpses at her, “What has it to do with you whether my parents are informed or not?”

“Look at your temper! So hot.” The woman scoffs, “I don’t care! Get up. This is my seat.”

“Your seat?” Wuyou slips another game coin in, “Did you buy a ticket?”

The man takes a look at her attitude and starts cursing, “Damn! Will you get up or not? I don’t want to beat you because you’re young. So don’t ask for trouble on your own.”

A waiter hears a lot of noise and comes over to ask, “Can I help you, sir?”

Gungun nods, “As you can see, we’re playing here and they’re making a mess. So please get rid of them in case they disturb us.”

“Alright!”

The waiter says to the man and the woman politely, “Sir, lady, you are not allowed to disturb anyone else. Please play on a different machine.”

“No way,” The woman calls up, “I just played here. All the game dollars were piled up by me. And I just went to the bathroom and they took over my machine.”

“I’m sorry, lady. Since you’ve left, this machine can be played by anyone. So would you please play on another machine?”

The man curses and stretches out to push the waiter away, who calls on people with his walkie-talkie hurriedly. Soon, three security guards arrive.

“Sorry. In that case, please leave the casino.”

“What are you doing?”

“Let go of me!”

They try to resist. But the security guards just take out an electric baton, scaring them so much. They, who dare not move, are asked to be out dejectedly.

“Idiots!” Gungun curses as the $100 happens to drop out.

He smiles and tips the waiter. When they are about to leave after enjoying the game, the waiter runs over to them specifically.

“Sir, you have to be careful. I saw those two guys sitting in the cafe ahead and never left, who might be trying to trouble you. If you encounter danger, remember to call the security guards immediately.”

Gungun thanks him and walks out of the hall with Wuyou. Before they can walk far away, they see the man and woman coming out of the cafe menacingly.

“We’re going back to the hotel to rest in bed!” Gungun pulls Wuyou away. It is almost midnight now.

Then the man and the woman barricade them in the entrance to the elevator. After they see them enter the elevator, they follow in.

“You guys are great, huh? How dare you call the security guards to evict us?” As soon as the elevator door closes, the woman starts cursing, “Who else are you going to call now? Give me back the $100 I just spent!”

Gungun takes out his room card and swipes it on the elevator. Then the button for the topmost floor lights up.

“Do... Do you guys live on this floor?” The man stammers all of a sudden. He rubs his eyes for a closer look. Yes, it is on the top floor.

Gungun puts the room card away, “Or does it light up on its own?”

“Heh, heh, heh...” The man presses the button to the next level hurriedly, “No interruptions then, no interruptions!”

The woman flinches, “What are you talking about? Oh, these two little bitches...”

The man slaps her, “Idiot! Shut up.”

At that moment, the elevator stops. The man rushes out without caring about the woman.

“Hey! Honey?” The woman rushes to keep up with him. She even looks back at Gungun and Wuyou, feeling confused.

As the elevator continues to rise, Gungun rolls his eyes, “They are not stupid yet.”

At this point, the man is scolding the woman, “You should never get into any fucking trouble again. Those two people you offended a moment ago live on the top floor. Do you know what kind of people can live on the top floor?”

“Anyone rich can live there, isn’t it?” The woman says in injured tones, “They’re just richer than you...”

“I can’t make it clear to you,” The man says roughly, “Anyway, all you need to know is that you can’t afford to mess with them. Just be good for a few days. Don’t offend someone you can’t mess with in case I won’t clear up the mess for you.”

Back in the room, Gungun sits on the gazebo and eats something after his shower. Wuyou sits over to his side. As she finds that he has been typing on his phone, she has a somewhat distracted look in her eyes.

Gungun notices it and asks her, “Anything wrong?”

“...Nothing. Are you texting Zeng Xue?”

Gungun pauses. It is true that he has been texting Zeng Xue.

Zeng Xue’s father knows Gungun is studying abroad and insists that Zeng Xue should be here too. He is teaching Zeng Xue how to talk with her father.

“Yes...” Gungun puts the cell phone away, “She says she has bought gifts for you.”

Wuyou looks down at the pretty pool at her feet, “When is she coming over?”

“I don’t know. I guess it will be at the end of this month.” Gungun steals a glance at her, “Do you want to meet her?”

“Of course.” Wuyou looks up to meet his eyes, “I’ll be sure to meet the girl you like.”

Gungun is speechless, “I know. I’ll get it arranged...”

The next day, Shirla runs over to them, saying that their information may be wrong and Gaoqi Yihai has nothing to do with the incident last time.

“The latest-gathered evidence points to an organization in Italy. And Billy’s father has hired men to go over there. If we can find the batch of drugs, we’ll be able to explain it to the two gangs.”

What Shirla is happy about is that once the issue is settled quickly, she can get the hell out of this fucking place as fast as she can.
