Ningguang was wearing a pair of exquisite and gorgeous high heels. Every step she took on the quaint wooden stairs made a pleasant and melodious "dong dong" sound.

This sound not only highlights the firmness of her steps, but also silently declares her noble status.

Finally, the three of them arrived at the top floor of the restaurant, which was the most expensive private box area.

Although Ningguang had mentioned casually that she wanted to have a "light meal" before, she actually generously reserved the entire top floor to enjoy a rare quiet time.

She explained calmly that she preferred to dine in a quiet environment and did not want to be disturbed by too many other people's eyes.

"Master Ningguang, please enjoy your meal!"

The hotel owner greeted them excitedly and with a smile on his face, his tone full of respect and joy.

For him, it was a great honor to be able to host Lady Ningguang, a giant in Liyue's business world, not to mention that she was so generous as to book the entire top floor.

However, as he diligently served the dishes, he also vaguely sensed that there seemed to be a subtle and complex atmosphere between the three people.

Logically speaking, Lady Ningguang should be spending some time alone with her boyfriend, so why is there a third wheel like Ganyu around?

But he didn't ask too much and carefully closed the door of the box.

In the box, Ganyu was eating her food with her head down.

The table was filled with delicious food, many of which were Ganyu's favorite dishes, but she was not in the mood to enjoy them.

However, she suddenly discovered something strange. Why did Ningguang's mood improve a lot after running into her and Su Chen?

At this moment, he was talking and laughing with Su Chen, and almost ignored her existence.

"Could it be that Lady Ningguang didn't hear anything just now?"

Gan Yu was also a little confused at this time. When she was treating Su Chen, sometimes she couldn't help making some noises because she was too excited.

She was so dazed just now that she almost fainted. Could it be that Ningguang didn't hear it?

However, it was impossible for Ganyu to go to Ningguang in person to confirm such an embarrassing thing, so she could only guess based on Ningguang's emotions.

And judging from Ningguang’s current performance—she definitely didn’t hear it!

After thinking about this clearly, Ganyu's mood became very good. If she was just in the same room with Su Chen and nothing happened, the nature of the situation would be completely different.

No wonder Lady Ningguang forgave her so easily and even invited her to a light meal!

Seeing that Su Chen was chatting with him wholeheartedly, he completely ignored Gan Yu who was sulking and eating food beside him.

Ningguang felt a little proud in her heart.

Although I can't be Su Chen's only one, I am the one Su Chen loves the most.

At this time, Ningguang's expression returned to normal, exuding a noble and elegant temperament.

"Ganyu, I'm going to give you half a day off today. You can go wander around the city to change your mood."

Ningguang's tone revealed an unquestionable determination, as well as a slightly commanding tone.

For Ganyu, this was undoubtedly a good opportunity to escape. She couldn't wait to escape from the suffocating and awkward atmosphere here.

"Su Chen and I have some important things to discuss, so I won't accompany you today."

Ningguang added, her tone slightly regretful, but the decision had been made and could not be changed.

Ganyu was surprised and delighted at this sudden relief. She nodded quickly with a relieved smile on her face, then left the hotel quickly and lightly, as if she was escaping from this embarrassing and uncomfortable occasion.

As Ganyu's footsteps faded away, Ningguang stood up gracefully, her movements gentle and deliberately slow, and then she closed the door softly and almost silently, creating a private space that belonged only to her and Su Chen.

When she turned around to face Su Chen again, her white and slender arms had already wrapped around Su Chen's neck.

At this moment, Ningguang's usual noble elegance and Tianquan Star majesty have all faded away, replaced by an almost tangible tenderness and fragility.

Her eyes were filled with complex emotions, including determination and desire, as if at this moment, she was just a woman who deeply longed to be understood and loved.

Ningguang leaned down in front of Su Chen and exhaled sweetly: "Recently I learned about a new way to play. Su Chen, do you want to try it?"

The distance was so close that Su Chen could even smell the scent of Ningguang's precious perfume.

A new way to play, that is...?

Little Su Chen under Su Chen trembled suddenly. It seems that if he doesn't pay his dues today, he will definitely not be able to escape...

………………

Chapter 431 A ‘female warrior’ came to the casino!

"Have you heard? The owner of Yanshang Teahouse ran away!"

"Ah? I heard that he owed a lot of money before, but he ran away, and the creditors are worried."

"But speaking of which, the Yanshang Tea House has recently been taken over by a new owner. It just opened today, so I'll bring you over to play a few games."

The central area of ​​Liyue Harbor.

Near the Central Bridge connecting the two major urban areas.

The most famous teahouse located here is Yanshang Teahouse.

However, in addition to running the tea business, this place is also a famous casino in the whole of Liyue.

The reason Su Chen came here was simply because he felt a little weak after experiencing the new gameplay with Ningguang in the hotel just now, so he came here to have a cup of tea to relax.

A group of rich young men dressed in luxurious clothes gathered together, and the atmosphere seemed a bit dull. They complained about their misfortunes one after another, and the expressions on their faces revealed that today was indeed not a good day for them.

"Today is really weird. I went out with one million Mora, and now I almost lost all my pants!"

One of the young masters sighed helplessly, and his words caused a burst of lamentations.

"No way? You're the best gambler among us, and you actually lost?"

Another young man asked in surprise, his eyes full of disbelief.

"Is this true? Who is so bold as to win money from a gambling god like you? I remember you once won 20 million with 3700 Mora, and that story spread all over Liyue Harbor. Now, someone can actually make you lose money?"

The third young man was even more incredulous, and his words were full of praise for the past achievements of the "God of Gamblers".

Su Chen, as a bystander, held his chin with one hand, gently picked up the teacup with the other hand, and sipped the tea elegantly. He finally recovered and thought secretly in his heart.

Although he knew that Yanshang Teahouse was not just a simple teahouse and that there was a secret of a casino hidden behind it, he did not have much interest in gambling.

This is not to say that he doesn't like money. After all, he is now with Tianquanxing Ningguang, a wealthy woman who is as rich as a country. Any amount of money is just a number to her.

Su Chen sighed secretly, and he could finally say that sentence -

I'm not interested in Mora!

……

The atmosphere in Yanshang Tea Room became increasingly tense. As several new losers walked out of the casino, the entire space was filled with a sense of uneasiness and shock.

Su Chen could easily read today's win or loss from their defeated expressions. These people had obviously lost all their bets and had no morale at all.

"This is really weird! A dice shape that I haven't seen for months actually appeared today. That woman actually dared to bet on a leopard?"

A gambler who had just walked out said indignantly, his voice full of disbelief.

"It's not just about betting on the leopard! I came here early this morning and have noticed that woman for a long time.

As far as I can see, she hasn’t lost a single game today!” Another person joined the discussion, with a hint of admiration in his voice.

"Isn't this too outrageous? Is this cheating?"

Someone in the crowd raised questions.

"This is the Yanshang Tea House. If she dares to cheat, isn't she afraid of being discovered and punished?"

Someone immediately refuted and expressed their trust in the fair and just environment of Yanshang Tea House.

"Over 30 rounds, and I haven't lost a single round. Is that really that outrageous? Even if the God of Gamblers came, it wouldn't be so exaggerated!"

The rumors inside the casino shocked everyone.

Those gamblers who originally planned to enter the venue to take a gamble in the hope of winning back their capital gave up their plans when they heard that a female gambler with extraordinary skills had appeared.

Some people even lamented that they had been addicted to gambling for 30 years, but today they were able to quit it because of a mysterious woman.

Su Chen observed all this quietly, and couldn't help but feel curious about the legendary female gambling god.

In the Rock Tea House, a place known for fairness, her presence undoubtedly caused a stir and moved everyone in the casino.

The sighs and complaints of the gamblers around him made Su Chen chuckle.

He had no sympathy for those who suffered the consequences of gambling, but instead felt that this was what they deserved.

However, as the discussions around him continued, Su Chen's thoughts were drawn to another direction, and a guess emerged in his mind.

Could the "cool-looking, carefree female warrior with gambling skills that are as good as men" that they described be Ye Lan?

This thought made Su Chen feel both surprised and excited.

After all, in addition to her preference for spicy food, Ye Lan is also well known for her love of gambling, and even her elemental combat skills are related to dice. This description coincides with Ye Lan.

What made Su Chen even more curious was that he remembered that Ye Lan should be on a mission, so how could he suddenly appear in the Yanshang Tea House?

The conversation with Ningguang echoed in his mind. At that time, Ningguang mentioned that the Yanshang Tea House was sold to a friend. Everything seemed to point to Ye Lan.

Su Chen was immediately excited at the thought of meeting Ye Lan. He could no longer sit still, and quickly put down the teacup in his hand, got up and walked into the tea room.

If I could see Ye Lan's charm with my own eyes, all these doubts and speculations would be verified.

Su Chen's steps were quick and firm as he passed through the quiet area of ​​the tea room and headed deeper into the casino where Ye Lan might be hiding.

My heart was filled with anticipation and curiosity, and I wanted to see with my own eyes who the "female hero" who caused a sensation in Liyue Harbor was.

"Stop! Since you want to go into the inner room, are you mentally prepared? How much money did you bring?"

As soon as he reached the door, Su Chen was stopped by a young waitress.

Su Chen was a little puzzled. Why wasn’t he allowed in without money?

Seeing that he was a little hesitant, the waitress immediately said with some displeasure: "Young men like you should not run around everywhere. Some muddy waters are not for you to wade through. One more or one less will not make much difference."

"If you don't leave, I'll ask the bodyguard to see you off!"

Su Chen glanced at the nameplate on her chest. This waitress named "Chu Yi" had an extremely bad service attitude. If it had happened in her previous life, she would have been complained about long ago.

But he was too lazy to bother with a waiter.

Just as I was about to turn around, I heard the crisp sound of high-top leather boots hitting the wooden floor behind me, and a lazy voice came:

"If this is your service attitude, you don't have to stay in my Yanshang Tea House anymore."

Hearing this voice, Chu Yi, who had originally looked down on Su Chen, bowed slightly and said to Su Chen with a smile:

"No, sorry, there was something wrong with my service attitude just now."

"Since you are a guest, you may as well go upstairs and sit in the inner room."

Seeing Chu Yi's attitude change 180 degrees, Su Chen was secretly wondering if this new boss had some skills.

With just a few words, the waiter at Yanshang Tea House, who had a rude attitude and a casual personality, was subdued.

Su Chen turned around and noticed a woman in the crowd who was surrounded by teahouse staff.

She has short, shoulder-length dark blue hair with side bangs, and wears a slim-fitting outfit in the same color.

On her straight long legs, she wore a pair of indigo high-top leather boots.

What is impressive is that she was wearing a pure white shawl that was clearly not of Liyue style.

The whole person exudes a bold and free temperament.

Seeing that the woman in front of him was Ye Lan, the Queen of Night, whom he must bring with him when playing Genshin Impact into the abyss in his previous life, Su Chen suddenly became excited.

At the same time, his mind was constantly searching for information related to Ye Lan’s wife.

Although Ye Lan's wife is very fierce and stern now, Su Chen knows that the story behind Ye Lan is very tragic...

………………

Chapter 432: First meeting with Ye Lan’s wife

In the relationship between Ye Lan and Ning Guang, Ye Lan believes that there is no distinction between superiors and subordinates between him and Ning Guang, but rather they are more like partners fighting side by side.

Ningguang once publicly praised Ye Lan, calling her a completely trustworthy person who was not only versatile but also impeccable in all aspects.

These qualities of Ye Lan made her an indispensable special intelligence officer for Ningguang.
