After Simo Yan's furious roar, the air fell silent for a moment.
Lucy looked at Simo Yan. Seeing his cold, stern, and gloomy profile, she raised an eyebrow. "President Si, are you afraid your wife will lose to me? Don't worry, you won't lose out being with me!"
Simo Yan's dark eyes were profound, his voice low and icy. "Miss Lucy, I am not a commodity to be wagered as you please!"
Wen Yan walked up to Simo Yan, a brilliant smile on her face. "Husband, with a rival in love coming right to our door, if I retreat and admit defeat without a fight, wouldn't that be utterly humiliating?"
Si Youyou walked over to Wen Yan and showed her the information she had just looked up.
"Sister-in-law, Lucy is a billiards expert, ranked in her country. If you bet against her, you're bound to lose."
Before Lucy arrived, Sister-in-law had played a game with her.
Sister-in-law had only sunk one ball, not even matching her own amateur level.
She really didn't want her sister-in-law to lose her big brother to another woman!
In this lifetime, she only recognized Wen Yan as her sister-in-law!
"Little Youyou, your sister-in-law has already accepted the challenge. I can't back down now."
[Wahhh, it's all because Lucy's offer was too tempting. If I didn't accept, I'd feel like I lost tens of billions.]
Wen Yan glanced at the six tall, long-legged young men behind Lucy.
The corners of her mouth lifted, harder to suppress than an AK-47.
Seeing Wen Yan's gaze, Simo Yan's deep eyes seemed about to spit flames.
Damn woman!
Her husband wasn't dead yet, couldn't she show some restraint?
Old Master Si stroked his white beard, lowering his voice to say to Simo Yan, "Xiao Yan's temperament is quite like mine. In this one life we live, why fear the charge of being fond of beauty?"
Simo Yan's jawline was taut, his icy voice seeming to come from the depths of his throat. "Grandfather, you've been fond of beauty your whole life, and you're quite proud of it?"
Old Master Si chuckled. "Not just proud, but downright boastful. Do you have the ability to make your wife not fond of beauty?"
Simo Yan, "…"
Over with Wen Yan and Lucy, the two began preparing for the match.
Lucy picked up her cue, her brow slightly raised. "After all, I'm a professional. To keep you from losing too embarrassingly, I'll spot you three balls."
With that, Lucy bent over, pushed the cue, hit the ball perfectly on the first strike, sinking it flawlessly.
Lucy's skill was indeed excellent; not a single ball she aimed for missed.
Until the last three balls, which she intentionally missed.
Most of the onlookers were impressed by Lucy's high level of skill.
It was like watching a professional billiards match.
Clean and beautiful.
Lucy curled her red lips, brimming with confidence. "I'll be waiting for you to divorce President Si. Don't start crying when you lose later."
Si Youyou and Wan Yu were both sweating bullets for Wen Yan.
"Sister-in-law, maybe don't bet with her…" Si Youyou was nearly in tears with anxiety. She really didn't want her sister-in-law and big brother to get a divorce.
Wan Yu knew Wen Yan was clever. If given time to learn billiards, she definitely wouldn't lose.
But time was tight now, and she was a beginner. There was no way she could win against a professional like Lucy this time.
"Yan Yan, how about we just forget it…"
Wen Yan lightly pursed her red lips. "It's fine, it's just for fun anyway."
She set the cue aside, took the hair tie from her wrist, and tied her shoulder-length hair into a ponytail.
Dark hair, red lips, stunning beauty, exuding a captivating mix of cool allure and delicate charm.
Wen Yan was wearing a black high-slit dress today. She picked up the cue, bent her slender back, raised her bottom slightly—her whole figure resembled a slender-necked vase, her perfect S-curve on full display.
Just as Wen Yan was about to take her shot, a large hand suddenly lightly grasped her slender waist.
Wen Yan glanced back. Seeing Simo Yan, who had somehow come to stand behind her, she was momentarily stunned.
"Husband, what are you doing?"
With so many people watching, he couldn't be having any improper thoughts, could he?
Simo Yan's other large hand covered Wen Yan's hand holding the cue. "I'll help you play."
Since he couldn't make her cancel the match, he could only join in and help her win.
Si Youyou's eyes instantly lit up.
How could she have almost forgotten that her big brother was really good at billiards!
With Big Brother helping Sister-in-law, they definitely wouldn't lose!
Simo Yan was tall, straight, and robust. Slender Wen Yan, held in his arms, created a striking size difference.
"OMG, Big Brother and Sister-in-law are so sweet! This size difference is killing me!"
Si Jingyi stood not far away, secretly snapping a photo of the two pressed close together.
Seeing Simo Yan protecting Wen Yan, a flash of jealousy and displeasure appeared in Lucy's eyes.
"Mrs. Si, if you rely on President Si to help you win this round, I'm afraid it wouldn't be a fair victory either. Are you really that lacking in confidence?"
Wen Yan gave a slight smile. "No helping it. My husband's been into sticking close and spreading sweetness lately. However, I won't let him help."
Simo Yan's handsome face darkened. "Wen Yan, stop messing around."
Was she really so eager to hand him over to another woman?
Wen Yan gently patted the man's arm. "Husband, don't worry, I won't give you up to another woman."
[The Empress, the beloved concubine—this emperor wants them all!]
Simo Yan, "…"
After pushing Simo Yan away, Wen Yan focused on the match.
When she pushed the cue, she almost missed the ball entirely. The Si family watched with nervous expressions, while Lucy's lips curled in a scornful arc.
It wasn't that she looked down on Wen Yan, but with her skill level, she probably couldn't sink a single ball.
This match was over as soon as it began!
Wen Yan adjusted her stance, squinting one beautiful eye slightly.
Bang! Two balls collided, one sinking perfectly into the pocket.
Then came the second ball, the third—
Her strikes were swift, clean, and fierce.
She even sank two balls with one shot at one point.
Lucy, who had initially been scornful of Wen Yan, gradually grew serious, her expression turning incredulous.
Simo Yan stood not far away, watching the focused, serious Wen Yan, a hint of killer instinct in her eyes. He couldn't help but narrow his dark, narrow eyes.
This woman not only knew how to play billiards, but she was at a master's level.
Just how many more surprises did she have in store for him?
She was like a treasure trove, mysterious and dazzling.
Almost everyone in the private room was captivated by Wen Yan.
In just a few minutes, Wen Yan ended the match.
Every ball had been struck and sunk by her.
Even if Lucy hadn't spotted her three balls, she would have beaten Lucy on time alone.
Everyone was stunned.
Especially Lucy, who had thought Wen Yan was a rookie, never expecting her to be a dark horse.
"You… your billiards is actually this good?"
Wen Yan shrugged, a light smile on her red lips. "Just had a good day, that's all. You were too kind."
Lucy's face turned livid with anger.
'Just had a good day'? She was clearly a wolf in sheep's clothing.
She hadn't expected this woman to be more than just a pretty vase, to be so cunning.
"Fine, these six male models are yours. I'll challenge you again another time." Lucy shot a glance at Simo Yan. "I like him. I won't give up easily."
Just as Lucy was about to leave, Simo Yan, his face like frost, stopped her. "Take your male models with you. Furthermore, I've already messaged your father. From now on, the Si family is canceling all cooperation with the William family. We will no longer do business together!"
Lucy's beautiful blue eyes were filled with disbelief. "Do you have any idea how much you'll lose by canceling cooperation with our William family?"
Si Moyan's jaw tightened. "Other than my wife, I won't keep a woman who covets me by my side!"
