Chapter 2349: A small contest

This could only be explained when he met Yun Simin earlier. An an was a smart person, and his thoughts were no less than Ji Chi ‘S. He had always been aware of Ji Chi’s sensitivity and was always able to discover many things first.

From the boy’s abnormal behavior, it was clear that something had happened that he was unaware of. After all, he had always been a man of mixed emotions in the past, but when Gu mo asked them to come out and play together today, he had not intended to come out.

Unexpectedly, he agreed to it. The light in his eyes was not fake; it was only when his son saw his mother that his eyes shone.

So, the boy’s various changes were mostly because of his mother. In other words, he would be seeing her soon?

This thought surprised an an, but the more she thought about it, the more she felt that it made sense. Thus, while Gu Mo’s attention was on Yun Simin, she quietly approached the boy to’ extort a confession ‘.

“Do you know something that I don ‘t? Just like before?” An an’s attention was all on the boy’s face, not missing any of his expressions.

The boy’s eyes flickered when he heard that, but he still pretended to be calm.””What can I hide from you? don’t think too much.”

“The signs you’re showing are all telling me that you’re different. Jichi, don’t hide it from me. I’ll let it go the last few times, but if you keep it from me this time, Hmph, don’t even think about finding out anything from me in the future.” An an did not believe the boy’s perfunctory words at all. With a determined look, he even threatened him.

It was obvious that the boy did not buy it. After a long time without any reaction, he furrowed his brows in annoyance.

“You don’t have anything I want to know.”

This remark was a huge blow to an ‘an. She was still a child after all, and she couldn’t stand the stimulation. She said,””Mom said she’d come to pick us up. You definitely didn’t know because she only told me.”

His son’s words left him dumbfounded. After all, he had not heard her say when she would come to pick them up. Of course, his intuition told him that she was just trying to frame him.

However, when he saw the determination in her eyes, he could not help but feel suspicious. This was also the reason why he had been pulling a long face ever since he got into the car.

Ran ran, who was standing quietly beside an an, did not notice the tension between her two brothers. She was still happily eating bin Qilin, who had finally arrived.

The Yunxi Pavillion’s dishes were quite unique and were the most authentic among the Sichuan cuisines. Yun Simin and Gao Heng had tried them earlier.

Perhaps it was because they hadn’t seen each other for a long time, but they were chatting very enthusiastically. Even the three children and Gao Heng were thrown aside and didn’t speak.

This wasn’t the first time Gao Heng had been ignored by Yun Simin in front of outsiders, so he was used to it. However, when he saw the three children sitting at the side with unhappy faces, he felt a little pitiful.

Her heart instantly softened at the sight of this. She got up and sat beside the boy, not for anything else but because the boy had been pouting ever since he got out of the car.

“You’re not happy?” “What’s wrong?” Gao Heng asked as he looked at the boy, waiting for him to speak.

The boy only looked up at him without saying a word. He then lowered his head and continued to daydream, acting unlike a child.

“If you tell me, I might be able to help you. After all, there’s strength in numbers.” Seeing that the boy had quite a temper, Gao Heng’s interest was piqued. Even if he had to put on a cold face, he was willing to chat with the boy.

“I’m not unhappy. I just feel bored. ” Ji Chi, of course, would not tell Gao Heng the real reason for his anger. After all, it would be too embarrassing.

When Gao Heng heard this, he didn’t say anything. Instead, he turned his eyes and saw a box of cards on the table. He had an idea.

“I heard that you’re very smart and have a good memory. Why don’t we have a competition?” Gao Heng put the poker card in his hand and waved it at Ji Chi with a smile.

“Competition? What’s the reward?” Ji Chi raised an eyebrow and looked at Gao Heng with a proud expression.

“You’re quite confident. Don’t tell me you’re so sure you’ll win? However, it’s not like I can’t afford to lose. Why don’t I use this jade pendant in my hand to bet with you?” Gao Heng stretched out his hand and took out the jade pendant that he especially cherished.

Although the value of this jade pendant was not low, what was even more valuable was the meaning that this jade pendant represented. It was a warning that he would never give up.

“What do you plan to use to bet with me?” Seeing the boy glance at the Jade, he smiled and asked,”

“My mother made this ring for me. Although it’s not as valuable as your jade pendant, it’s still a valuable item in my heart.” The boy carefully removed the ring from his finger.

Since he dared to agree to bet with Gao Heng, he must have had absolute confidence in his heart.

The bet had just begun. Yun Simin and Gu Heng did not know about it at first, but an an and ran ran excitedly clapped and cheered for Ji Chi before their attention was drawn to them.

“Alright, the cards are shuffled.” An an volunteered to help them shuffle two decks of cards and placed them in front of them.

Ran ran was the judge as she stared at her watch and shouted ‘three, two, one’. The moment she spoke, Ji Chi and Gao Heng picked up their cards at the same time and quickly scanned them before quickly putting them down again.

They all had confident expressions on their faces, and it was hard to tell who won and who lost.

“Gao Heng, you’re really … How can you gamble with a child? This is bad behavior for a child. Let’s see how Ziming will deal with you. ” Yun Simin glared at Gao Heng, a little unhappy.

After all, he was an adult. It was simply too improper to do such a thing. Besides, the other party’s grandmother was still by his side. How could he do such a thing of teaching the child the wrong way?

In contrast to Yun Simin’s worry, Gu mo looked relaxed. Not only was there no displeasure on his face, but he was also watching the two of them having fun with some interest.

“Are you ready? we’re going to announce the answers now.” An an smirked at Ji Chi and took his deck of cards, while the girl took Gao Heng ‘s.

“King of Hearts, Ace of Clubs, five of diamonds …”

“Ten of clubs. Three of Hearts. An Ace of Hearts ….

Ji Chi and Gao Heng each read out a card, and the two kids read out the corresponding card.
