Xue Lin sighed and commented, "What a coward!" Her tone was exactly like those sinister middle-aged women who had nothing better to do than criticize others.
"Alright, I'm in. But if you lose, you have to pay me one billion US dollars!" Louis stood up and gave her a deathly glare. "I'll see who wins and who loses." Then he turned around and left. He was so mad that he didn't care about his friend watching anymore.
As soon as he left, Xue Lin looked at Ge Chen with gloating eyes. "My husband, we are going to be rich!" She was grinning ear to ear.
Ge Chen wanted to know if the house and assistants he had, was not enough for her but he didn't ask. He rather asked, "My wife, are you sure you can give him money?"
Xue Lin was already in high spirits. "My husband, there is no way I'll give that rich playboy one billion US dollars. I don't even have the money! And, the person who is going to lose is him, not me. Why do I have to worry about giving him money? Just think of the places we will go on vacations."
Ge Chen didn't let go of this chance to joke around, "My wife, why are you so confident? Don't tell me you are used to it?"
Xue Lin gasped. "My husband, are you doubting me?"
"Not at all. I'm trying to find out what else my wife can do and cannot do. However, considering that you burnt a man's face and sent him to jail, seducing women shouldn't be hard for you-" Ge Chen's eyes dangerously narrowed.
Xue Lin quickly defended herself. "Hey, now, how can you think like that? Do I look like I can seduce anyone? More importantly, who is blind enough to fall for me?"
"Then, why are you so confident?" Ge Chen asked.
"Because of the ten percent share." Xue Lin giggled like a mischievous teen.
Ge Chen intensely stared at her. It was the first time she ever smiled in front of him. She was getting closer to him and it made him feel better.
The nurse knocked on the door and announced, "Sir, Mam, the wheelchair you have ordered has been prepared."
Xue Lin looked at her husband and asked, "Why did you prepare a wheelchair? Don't waste money before we become rich!"
"Don't worry, it's a gift from a friend." Ge Chen smiled and assured her. He looked at the nurse and added threateningly, "Isn't that right?" His eyes weren't smiling at the nurse.
The nurse flinched. "Y-yes, yes, I was wrong. Please forgive me. Please forgive me." She repeatedly bowed and apologized. 'So scary! I'm innocent and yet I was threatened!' She wanted to cry but even her tears were too afraid to come out.
"It's all right. Why are you so nervous? Bring the wheelchair." Xue Lin said. She gazed at Ge Chen and asked, "Who gave me the gift? I want to thank that person for being so thoughtful." She always showed gratitude to those who offered her help. Even if she couldn't thank them, she would find a way to help them.
Ge Chen casually said, "It's no one important. You don't have to worry about it."
"No one important? That person just bought a brand new wheelchair for me. Tell me."
"I will thank that person on your behalf. How's that?"
"That person gave me the wheelchair, not you. You can always thank that person anytime, but I must do it personally." Xue Lin suddenly paused and narrowed her eyes. "Don't tell me it's your ex-girlfriend-"
"It's Ming Yu. Happy now?" Ge Chen couldn't take her being suspicious of him anymore and told her Ming Yu's name.
"Oh, why haven't you said so before? Call him now. I will thank him."
Ge Chen had to take out his cell phone and dial Ming Yu's number.
Ming Yu answered the call almost immediately and said, "Boss, is there something you need?"
"Yes, my wife wants to talk to you." Saying that, Ge Chen handed over the cell phone to Xue Lin.
Xue Lin said, "Mr. Ming, I'm sorry to call you when you are busy."
Ge Chen's eyebrow twitched. 'Why is she apologizing?'
"No, no, please don't say that. Is there something you need?" Ming Yu started to sweat. He wished that Ge Chen wasn't hearing that.
"Not at all. I wanted to thank you for the wheelchair. You are truly considerate. My husband is lucky to have a friend like you." Xue Lin said from the bottom of her heart.
"Wheelchair? Oh, yes, I remember. I… just wanted to help my friend. That's all." Ming Yu said. 'Today, I'm going to die. The one who gave her the wheelchair is by her side and Young Mistress is thanking me. He must be in a foul mood.' The more he thought about it, the more he felt doomed.
The nurse who was standing beside the wheelchair also pitied Ge Chen. 'Boss ordered the wheelchair personally and the one who is being thanked is his assistant. Boss is so pitiful.' The nurse sighed.
After hanging up, Xue Lin handed him the cell phone and said, "He did so much, we have to invite him to our home. I will personally cook." She was being genuine to her benefactor.
Ge Chen's expression instantly darkened further if that was even possible. "How can you personally cook for him? You are the Mistress of my house. We have a personal chef for cooking. It's such a cheap wheelchair. You don't have to cook for that." He denied. 'I didn't have the time to taste your cooking. I won't let another man taste your cooking.'
Xue Lin tried to make him understand, "Listen, I know our chef is a professional and can cook better than me. When all of you had money to buy a simple, cheap wheelchair, only your friend bought it. It's not the value of the wheelchair but the thought that counts. That's why I have to cook to show my gratitude."
"He doesn't eat homemade food." Ge Chen blurted out.
