Chapter 768: Chapter 769:
Nianyang frowned, just about to ask how you know that, but then thought of the Shi Familyâs backgroundâit was normal for them to know.
"Second Young Master Shi, what exactly do you want to say?"
"I want to say, you donât need to show off. If you want me to lend you the Gambling Stone Master, you can just tell me directly."
Shi Feng stared closely at Nianyang, his tone carrying a hint of suggestion, but Nianyangâs answer disappointed him.
"Oh, thank you, but I donât need it!"
Shi Feng was anxious, "How could you not need it? Without a Gambling Stone Master, how do you plan to gamble stones, just blindly guessing?"
"How I gamble stones has nothing to do with you. Youâre meddling too much."
Nianyang was somewhat impatient. She was always this cold; facing someone she liked, she was warm as spring, otherwise, she was as ruthless as the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.
And it just so happened that Shi Feng was precisely the person she felt most impatient with!
Shi Fengâs face didnât look too good, his tone cooled a bit, "Chu Nianyang, isnât your attitude a bit too arrogant? Donât rely on the fact that I like you to act so recklessly!"
Nianyang slapped the table, "Second Young Master Shi, Iâve long made it clear to you, donât waste your efforts on me. Itâs impossible for us; stop showing up in front of me for no reason!"
Shi Feng had never been treated like this, he was embarrassed and angry, nearly turned to leave, but halfway, he still stood in front of Nianyang with a dark face.
"Chu Nianyang, I can lend you my Gambling Stone Master, but in return, I want you to be with me!"
Nianyang glanced at him, "Thanks for the offer, but I donât need it."
Shi Feng was stunned, "Why? Donât you want to help the Ruan Family? If the Ruan Family collapses, youâll lose a backer. Do you really intend to gamble stones yourself?"
Nianyang sneered insincerely, "Second Young Master Shi, weâre not acquainted. Whatever decisions I make have nothing to do with you!"
"You, you silly girl, really donât recognize a good heart!"
Shi Feng trembled with rage. Why was it that he just happened to like, and couldnât forget, such a woman who infuriated him?
He took a deep breath, "Chu Nianyang, Iâm giving you one last chance to reconsider. You donât understand gambling stonesâonly I can help you. You probably donât know, the He Family has hired a professional Gambling Stone Master from Miaojiang, very capable. Only my Gambling Stone Master can barely rival them. If you donât agree, I wonât help you, and youâre sure to lose."
Nianyang really couldnât listen anymore, "Second Young Master Shi, give up. I said I donât need your help, thank you."
Shi Feng had said all this, yet Nianyang maintained her stance, making him so angry he felt like his insides were boiling. Throwing down "Youâll regret it," he turned and left.
Nianyang was not appreciative; he wouldnât possibly help her. Let her lose everything, and have nowhere to cry when the time comes!

In the following few days, Nianyang ate and drank as usual, feeling no pressure at all, until she received Li Tingyanâs call assuring his safety. After so many days, any anger she had completely dissipated, and receiving the manâs call, Nianyang was excited like a girl experiencing first love.
She thought, the best love in this world might be one that remains as passionate as ever, no matter how much has been experienced, that never turns cold, always staying in a state of passionate love.
The two exchanged sweet words, and Nianyang learned that Li Tingyan had gone to Border City Island to catch a group of pirates smuggling materials.
