Chapter 467: The last challenge
Jinhai and Shin on one side and Jianyu and Liwei on the other side were ready for their face-off. On two tables, they sat opposite each other.
Shin said, “I hope we have a good match, brother-in-law. Defeating me won’t be easy.”
Jinhai smiled. “Same here.”
Liwei was giving death glares at Jianyu. “The nerve of you to marry my sister so soon! How dare you! Like hell, I would let you win this.”
Jianyu did not comment.
Jing said, “Let’s begin! Lock your fists and push your opponent’s down.”
Shin and Jinhai started as they got the signal. Both sides put defeaning pressure on the other.
“Liang Shin! You can do it!”
“Liu Jinhai! Come on. You cannot lose.”
The crowd was laughing and cheering them on.
The nerves on the back of their hands were visible. Jinhai narrowed his eyes as he tried to push Shin down, and so did Shin.
Huian was curiously watching their match. Everybody was focused entirely on it.
As expected of Jinhai, he is quite strong, Shin thought.
Jinhai said, “Not bad, brother-in-law.”
He snorted. “Well, you may be a part of the Underworld and trained with your men but don’t underestimate me because I am a doctor.”
“Not even for a moment.”
“Good.”
They gave their all and put maximum pressure on their fist. Sometimes, Shin would budge a little, and sometimes Jinhai. It was a neck-to-neck match, and nobody could predict the outcome.
Huian got so into it that she was clutching her dress hard. Her gaze concentrated on their hands.
Come on, Shin…
Jinhai bent his hand, but Shin would always jump back and force him into a corner. Shin was a formidable opponent indeed.
My wife is waiting for me…
Jinhai whispered so that only Shin could hear. “Brother-in-law.”
“What?”
“Congratulations on your relationship with Huian.”
Shin widened his eyes and looked at him in shock.
“And you will become a good father.”
The degree of shock increased to a hundredfold, and just for a moment, he froze. Jinhai took swift action and pushed his hand on the table in one fell swoop.
Everybody was shocked. Huian was stunned.
Wasn’t Shin giving him a tough time? How did he lose so suddenly?
Liang Zou exclaimed. “Shin! What the hell! How did you lose?”
Liang Xiao Dan shook her head.
Jing laughed. “Haha! Bro won!”
Jinhai smiled in satisfaction. “That was a good match, brother-in-law.”
“You…you distracted me!” Shin furiously glared at him.
“By what?” Jinhai tilted his head.
Shin was tongue-tied. Not that he didn’t want to tell everyone about him and Huian, but now it would be too sudden. How could he do that without talking to Huian first? He wanted to speak to his and her parents first.
Shin gritted his teeth.
How does he know about us!? Even her pregnancy too!
Liang Xiao Dan asked, “What happened?”
Instead, he glowered at Jinhai. “You are so sly! Why did Nana marry you again?”
Jinhai proudly smiled. “Well, she really loves me.”
“Go to hell!”
Yukira announced. “And brother-in-law Jinhai had passed all the three levels!”
Everybody clapped and whistled hard. The Liu Corps employees were celebrating and dancing.
“Sir won! Hahaha!”
Shin grumpily got up and went back to his seat. Huian asked, “What happened so suddenly? Why did you stop?”
He looked at her, feeling wronged.
She frowned. “What? Why are you looking at me like that?”
He urgently whispered. “You didn’t tell me that you told about us and your pregnancy to Jinhai!”
Huian was dumbfounded. “Say that again?”
“You heard me, right! I thought you told me first. How can you go to your ex-husband?” he grumbled in disappointment.
“I didn’t tell this to anybody! Why would I even tell Jinhai first?”
“Then how does he know? During our match, he whispered and congratulated me on our relationship and even said that I would become a good father!”
Huian was shocked once again. “H-he did?”
“Yes.”
“Impossible. I didn’t even tell this to my mom! How can Jinhai know?”
“Damn it. He took me by surprise and took advantage of that one moment!”
Huian patted his shoulder. “You fought well. Don’t worry about Jinhai. He won’t tell to anybody even if he knows. But…how does he know in the first place?” she murmured.
On the stage, Yukira continued. “Now, will bro Jianyu win too? Will he pass his third test too?”
On his side, it was just as tough Jinhai’s match. Liwei was strong, and now his spirit was fueled by the frustration that he married Serena today! They didn’t have the slightest idea, and he took her away.
One could see imaginary flames burning from Liwei. He swore not to let Jianyu win, and Jianyu was feeling it too.
Come on…can you not go easy on me? Serena and I reunited after so long.
Huo Shen cheered. “Liwei! Do it! Make him lose at all cost!”
Jianyu’s brows tightened. They both were squeezing each other’s hands on top of their strength.
He took a deep breath. He imagined Serena waiting for him and jumping in his hug as soon as he would open the door. And then all sorts of R-18 stuff that followed after.
Like hell, I would lose this night!
His gaze darkened, and driven purely by a desire for her, he tightened his hold, and with one last strike, he gathered all his strength and pushed Liwei’s hand back.
“Phew!”
Liwei’s jaw tightened. “You! Just what were you thinking?”
Jianyu said, “What do you mean?”
“I saw it in your gaze. What kinds of things did you imagine that you got that last boost?”
He shrugged. “She is my wife. I can imagine and do all sorts of stuff with her now.”
He and Huo Shen almost puked blood while Huo Xiao Fan only giggled. Everybody burst into laughter.
Chen Liling crackled in laughter. “OMG. Jianyu, you naughty boy!”
Chen Guiren nodded.
“You are a beast!” Liwei burst out.
He nodded. “She has already seen that and will see it again tonight.”
Liwei’s expression turned ugly.
Jing announced. “And cousin Jianyu won too! He passed all three tasks! Big brother and Cousin Jianyu both passed with flying colors. Congratulations! You are now free to meet our sister-in-laws!”
