Border Prisoner: The Mad Boss Seduces Her Every Night

The casino was completely empty.

The hall, which had previously been filled with the sounds of people and the smell of alcohol, suddenly fell silent.

Even the air seemed to freeze.

The surrounding chandeliers shone very steadily, their light pouring down from above, illuminating the entire space in a bright yet desolate manner.

The deep red gambling tables, black and gold chips, half-full wine glasses, and cigar ashtrays in the distance remained exactly as they had been.

Like the lingering warmth left after a lively event has just been abruptly ended.

But the more this is the case, the more conspicuous the square card table that is left out in the center becomes.

It's like this huge casino was set up just for the two of them.

The square card table wasn't large, with a dark green velvet surface and black leather trim around the edges. Under the light, even the texture on it exuded a restrained yet luxurious coolness.

There were only two chairs at the table, facing each other, not far apart. The cards hadn't even been dealt yet, but the atmosphere was already tense.

Zhou Ji and Chai Ye retreated to the outer perimeter, not going far.

Sheng Kun wasn't actually released; he was simply forced to stand a little further back by two of his men.

The men in black stood on either side of him, their hands resting on his shoulders, as if reminding him who had spared his life tonight.

Sheng Kun still had cold sweat on his forehead from the previous game, and his wolf-tail hair was a little messy, but his expression was much more composed than before.

At that moment, he didn't even dare to laugh, and just stood quietly.

He stared at the center of the gambling table, as if watching to see who would take his half-dead life next.

Shi Luyu sat down.

Her back was very straight, but her fingertips were a little cold.

The embarrassment and anger from before had been gradually suppressed by the gamble, replaced by a more genuine tension.

She doesn't gamble at all and has never even touched a real card table in such a place.

When she spoke in front of everyone just now, she relied on sheer willpower. But now that she's actually sitting across from Xu Yuanjia, she finally realizes that this is no small matter.

This is a table that will truly devour you.

And she sat here, ready to gamble with Xu Yuanjia.

Xu Yuanjia looked at her, a hint of relaxed interest always in his eyes.

His dark green suit was still impeccably tailored, and his white silk shirt gleamed coolly under the light. The loose button at the collar added a touch of nonchalance to his otherwise serious and sharp demeanor.

But the more carefree he became, the more people dared not let their guard down.

"Speak," he said lazily, tapping the table lightly with his long, slender fingers. "How do you want to play?"

Shi Luyu stared at the cards on the table for a while before looking up.

"I won't play what you're good at."

When she spoke, her voice was fairly steady, but the last syllable was slightly strained, "It's so unfair."

After listening, Xu Yuanjia slowly smiled and asked, "So, how does Lulu want to play?"

"You choose for yourself." He even reached out and pushed the entire deck of cards toward her.

His attitude was so generous it bordered on indulgent. It was as if he genuinely didn't care what she would choose, or that he didn't care about winning or losing the gamble at all.

Shi Luyu didn't touch the tiles. She knew she had no right to be stubborn about this.

She knew nothing about the complex rules of card games at the gambling table and was sure to lose badly. So she could only choose the simplest, most basic, and most straightforward one.

"Deal the cards," she said clearly, looking at him. "Compare the hands."

She paused here, as if to bolster her courage, before continuing:

Best of five.
