Chapter 110 Accept Defeat Willingly

Fu Chenghao and Zhou Kainan nodded in agreement.

Ji Xiaonuan blushed a little and said quickly, "Actually..."

"Actually, it's just as you guessed. Ziyu, what did you call me here for?" Chi Jun'an reached out and put his arm around Ji Xiaonuan's slender waist, giving it a gentle squeeze.

Ji Xiaonuan was somewhat speechless. Chi Jun'an was clearly making them misunderstand on purpose.

"It's nothing much," Zhou Kainan said truthfully. "We were one short for a card game and wanted you to come and play."

"..." Ji Xiaonuan was at a loss for words. She had thought that they had called Chi Jun'an to discuss something important, but it turned out to be just for some casual entertainment.

"Well, since Xiaoxi is here, you can leave," An Ziyu started to shoo Chi Jun'an away.

"True. We've never played cards with sister-in-law before," Fu Chenghao suggested. "Why don't we let sister-in-law play? If she wins, the money is hers. If she loses, it's charged to Muchen."

Ji Xiaonuan looked at the automatic mahjong table in front of her and said awkwardly, "But I don't know how to play..."

"You're kidding, right?" The others looked at her in surprise. "You don't know how to play mahjong? Then what do you do for fun during the Spring Festival at your home?"

"It's rare for us to have enough people to make up a mahjong table at home," Ji Xiaonuan said helplessly.

Her parents were both very busy. Often, either one of them was on a medical call or the other was on a police mission. This year, they were relatively free, but her elder brother wasn't at home.

"Then I'll play a couple of hands for you first and teach you how to play," Chi Jun'an suggested. He led Ji Xiaonuan to sit down at the table. "Once you've mastered the rules, you can play."

An Ziyu rushed to say, "It seems that Young Master Chi is planning to give us brothers some benefits during the Spring Festival. Then I'll thank you in advance."

"Do you have the nerve?" Chi Jun'an raised his eyebrows.

"Of course I do," An Ziyu grinned.

"Chi Jun'an, I really don't know how to play at all," Ji Xiaonuan said in a low voice, feeling a bit uneasy.

"It doesn't matter," Chi Jun'an said softly. "As long as you have fun, winning or losing doesn't matter."

"Only winning makes people happy. Who would be happy if they lose?" Ji Xiaonuan couldn't help but mutter softly.

"Hm?" Chi Jun'an looked at her.

"Nothing," Ji Xiaonuan quickly waved her hand. "Don't blame me if I lose."

"Of course not," Chi Jun'an replied with a faint smile.

Then they started playing mahjong.

In the first two hands, they played slowly. An Ziyu and the others were also very cooperative, and Chi Jun'an explained the rules to her in detail. Ji Xiaonuan listened carefully and memorized them in her heart.

"Xiaoxi should have learned by now," An Ziyu urged. "Chi Jun'an, hurry up and give up your seat. If we let you keep winning like this, we won't play with you anymore."

"Exactly," Fu Chenghao and the other two echoed.

Chi Jun'an gave his seat to Ji Xiaonuan. Ji Xiaonuan was still a bit nervous. They weren't just playing cards for fun. There were stakes for each hand, and the amounts were not small.

"Xiaoxi, don't worry. I'll definitely give you good cards," An Ziyu said, trying to be attentive.

The corners of Ji Xiaonuan's lips twitched. It seemed that the three of them were going to let her win.

She took a deep breath, and the pressure on her lessened a bit.

They started playing, and the three of them did seem to be letting Ji Xiaonuan win. Soon, Ji Xiaonuan picked up a card and turned to look at Chi Jun'an.

There was a hint of surprise on Chi Jun'an's face.

"Sister-in-law, don't you know which card to play?" Zhou Kainan asked.

An Ziyu took over and said, "Young Master Chi, you're her advisor. Hurry up and help..."

"No need for my help," Chi Jun'an interrupted him. He calmly pushed Ji Xiaonuan's cards forward. "Hu (win)!"

"You're kidding me?!" The three of them looked at Ji Xiaonuan's cards in disbelief. "We haven't played many cards yet. How could you win so quickly?"

"Yeah, I didn't even have a chance to give you good cards, and you won?" An Ziyu said in surprise.

"Maybe I'm just lucky?" Ji Xiaonuan was also a bit surprised.

"Let's play again, let's play again," the three of them shouted, sounding a bit dissatisfied. "This time, we won't let you win!"

After playing a few more hands, Ji Xiaonuan still won. Now, the three of them looked at Ji Xiaonuan with full of surprise.

"Sister-in-law, you're not pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, are you?" Zhou Kainan said, feeling a bit frustrated. "You don't look like someone who doesn't know how to play cards at all!"

"She really didn't know how to play," Chi Jun'an said indifferently.

Sitting beside Ji Xiaonuan, he could see most clearly. At first, Ji Xiaonuan was still trying to understand the rules, and later she played more and more smoothly.

"Then sister-in-law really has good luck," Zhou Kainan said with emotion.

"She does have good luck," Chi Jun'an smiled faintly. "But more importantly, she's good at remembering the cards and has strong calculation skills. You all underestimated her."

Ji Xiaonuan's cheeks turned a little red. She didn't expect that her little thoughts had been seen through by Chi Jun'an.

"I think you must have secretly done something!" An Ziyu said, looking at Chi Jun'an in a disgruntled way.

"Do you think I need to do that?" Chi Jun'an raised his eyebrows. "Just to win you that little bit of money?"

"Little money?" An Ziyu immediately became agitated. He took something out of his pocket and threw it on the table. "Come on, I don't believe it. Let's bet on this!"

"Master An is really generous!" Zhou Kainan said with a smile.

Ji Xiaonuan looked at the table in surprise. From where she was, she could only see that An Ziyu had taken out a keychain.

She couldn't help but wonder if this keychain was made of some rare material and was very valuable.

"Win it," Chi Jun'an smiled faintly. "Make him admit defeat willingly."

Ji Xiaonuan nodded in agreement.

However, her good luck didn't seem to end so soon. In this hand, she won again.

An Ziyu didn't argue much. He directly threw the small thing to Ji Xiaonuan. "It's yours."

Ji Xiaonuan picked it up and realized that it wasn't a keychain at all, but a car key!

"You're kidding me?" Her hand couldn't help but tremble. "Why don't you take it back? I didn't know it was a car key before..."

"You won it, so just keep it and drive it with confidence," Chi Jun'an said calmly. "I remember you have a driver's license, right?"

"But..." Ji Xiaonuan was still hesitant.

"Xiaoxi, don't get me into trouble," An Ziyu clicked his tongue. "Going back on your word in a card game is really bad for your reputation. I admit defeat, so just take it."

Chi Jun'an had already put the car key in Ji Xiaonuan's hand.

Looking at the key in her palm, Ji Xiaonuan was still a bit stunned, but she felt that something was wrong.

She reluctantly took the key and looked at Chi Jun'an. "I'm going to the restroom. You can keep playing."

"Okay," Chi Jun'an nodded.

Ji Xiaonuan went to the restroom. She turned on the faucet and washed her face. The more she thought about it, the more something seemed off.

It seemed too easy to get this key... Moreover, she had always thought that Chi Jun'an was quite jealous, but this time he didn't seem to care?
