Chapter 2405 Miss Qiao, Why Don't You Play a Round?

Qiao Nian raised her eyebrows and followed him inside.

Bright Gate's private room was a little bigger than their private room on the top floor tonight. The atmosphere inside was very good, with dozens of people being divided into groups.

A group was joking and drinking at the table. A group had already left the table and were singing or playing pool.

The two groups did not disturb each other. Their good relations.h.i.+p and a tacit understanding was obvious.

At first, Mo Dong entered, they did not pay attention, until they saw the two people following behind him.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at them.

It was rare for Qiao Nian not to wear a hoodie out. Instead, she had on a beige windbreaker over her white T-s.h.i.+rt.

She was thin and had long legs. The windbreaker reached her thighs, making her look outstanding. Her skin was also fair.

Upon seeing Qiao Nian, Mo Xi immediately put down his gla.s.s, stood up, and respectfully greeted the girl, "Miss Qiao, you're here."

"Yes." Qiao Nian walked past Mo Dong and greeted him, then asked in a familiar tone, "Why aren't you playing with them?"

Mo Xi smiled and pushed the gla.s.ses on the bridge of his nose. He said with a smile, "Master w.a.n.g said that he would be coming, so I'm not playing today."

He was talking about cards and billiards.

"Oh." Qiao Nian nodded and looked at him with her clear eyes. She was about to say that she would leave after staying for a while.

Who knew that before she could say anything, a delicate voice interrupted her. "Is this Master w.a.n.g's girlfriend?"

She looked over and saw a beautiful woman with an outstanding figure walking in her direction in high heels.

The woman was smiling, looking quite friendly.

However, Qiao Nian could tell at a glance that the other party's smile did not reach her eyes. She seemed to be slightly hostile toward her.

The other party was not a fool. She hid her hostility well. At least on the surface, she politely greeted her. "h.e.l.lo, Miss Qiao. I'm Yang Liu, the person in charge of gathering information for Bright Gate."

Qiao Nian nodded politely. "Qiao Nian."

"Qiao Nian?" Yang Liu repeated this name. She felt that she had heard this name somewhere before.

She had recently been sent elsewhere to investigate something for more than half a year. Thus, she did not know much about the situation in the independent continent in this period.

Yang Liu's peach blossom eyes sparkled as she smiled slightly and took the initiative to extend her hand in welcome. "Miss Qiao, do you want to play a round of billiards?"

Most of the people in the private room knew that Yang Liu was thinking about Ye w.a.n.gchuan. Seeing this scene, no one dared to speak.

Mo Dong frowned and almost lost it. Suppressing his temper, he stood in front of Qiao Nian and coldly said, "Miss Qiao doesn't play billiards."

Yang Liu leaned against the billiard table, accentuating her slender and charming waist. She brushed her hair by her ear and looked up. "Miss Qiao doesn't play billiards? What about cards? We can play Pai gow[1]."

"Yang Liu! That's enough," Mo Dong reminded her coldly.

Mo Xi also restrained himself slightly and looked at her coldly.

Yang Liu felt even more indignant after being treated as an enemy by the two of them. Biting her lip, her bright eyes flashed as she deliberately provoked the girl. "Miss Qiao, don't tell me you don't even know how to play Pai gow? It seems that Miss Qiao is still young"

[1] the first doc.u.mented form of dominoes, originating in China before or during the Song Dynasty. It is also the ancestor of modern, western dominoes. The name literally means "make nine" after the normal maximum hand, and the original game was modeled after both a Chinese creation myth, and military organization in China at that time (ranks one through nine).
