Chapter 102: A Losing Gamble, an Unwavering Choice
"What's the stakes?"

When Mu Nujiao heard Luo Chen's answer, she couldn't help but smile charmingly and asked.

"You decide the bet, even one dollar is fine..."

"Then...deal!"

"make a deal!"

Mu Nujiao knew clearly that Luo Chen was not a man who spoke without thinking. Whatever he said, he would definitely do it!
Therefore, there is no doubt that she will lose this gamble.

Because the bet is bound to be lost, Luo Chen said one dollar is also acceptable!
But how could she really just bet one dollar?

Mu Nujiao naturally knew the importance and value of the national team quota.

That is a spot that the entire Mu family cannot even strive for!

But Luo Chen gave it to her so easily. Mu Nujiao had already fallen for Luo Chen...

Therefore, Mu Nujiao made a bold decision...

After both of them confirmed that the bet was established, Mu Nujiao stood up, walked to Luo Chen's side, and whispered in Luo Chen's ear:

"If I'm going to bet, I'll bet on myself!"

Then, the next moment, a small mouth as red as a rose kissed her, and a purple electric current was transmitted to Mu Nujiao's body.

The gentle tone, the sudden kiss and the huge amount of information in the words made Luo Chen stunned for a moment.

The next moment, Luo Chen responded to the girl, and a few minutes later,

Realizing how bold a decision she had just made, Mu Nujiao escaped from Luo Chen's arms, and fled towards her room with a blushing face and humiliation...

Luo Chen stood there recalling the girl's lips, and when he thought of Mu Nujiao's bet, he couldn't help but smile...

........................

Late night
After returning to his room in the apartment, Luo Chen took a hot bath and finally relaxed.

Sit on the balcony and turn on just a small light.

Luo Chen was lying on the sofa chair on the balcony, gazing at the bustling night view of the Magic City. Lights of different colors were intertwined in the air, shining into the black night sky, and the color of the clouds also changed.

The stars under the night sky are like glowing glass beads hanging all over the sky. Some are densely crowded together, some are sparse but the light is pure, some are within reach, and some are separated by two worlds.

Luo Chen looked at the lights of thousands of houses and the dazzling sea of ​​stars, and inadvertently felt a little bored...

Just when Luo Chen was about to get up and go to bed, a crisp knock on the door was heard in the quiet night.

"Brother Luo Chen? Are you asleep?"

Outside the door came Xinxia's timid yet moving voice.

Luo Chen walked straight to the door, opened it, and seeing Xinxia's relieved expression, he could not help but rubbed Xinxia's head helplessly and asked softly:
"what happened?"

"I……"

Ye Xinxia said hesitantly.

"I had a nightmare. I dreamed that I was taken away by the Parthenon... Brother Luo Chen, you were also injured because of this..."

"fool."

Luo Chen tapped Xinxia's head gently and said with a smile.

"Dreams and reality are opposites. Without my permission, you can't take the Parthenon with you!"

"Ok!"

Xinxia also smiled and nodded.

Then, under Luo Chen's gaze, Xinxia stood up and walked into Luo Chen's room.

........................

With a tacit understanding, Xinxia curled up on the other side of the quilt like a kitten, looking at Luo Chen with eyes that sparkled like stars.

Luo Chen originally thought that the girl was having a nightmare and was afraid that she couldn't sleep, so she asked him to stay by her side. But at this moment, Xinxia's voice suddenly rang out.

The fragrance of the girl, which almost melted even her rationality, made Luo Chen feel hard to resist.

"Brother Luo Chen, we are going to Imperial Capital to participate in the World Academy Competition tomorrow, right?"

Xinxia used a gentle and charming voice. Although it was a question, it seemed to be said in a tone of affirmation.

"Well, we will be heading to the Imperial Capital almost tomorrow."

Luo Chen nodded and responded without hiding anything.

Xinxia's bright eyes dimmed a little, and then as if she had made up her mind, she moved closer to Luo Chen under the quilt.

Afterwards, Xinxia's tender body curled up in Luochen's arms. Feeling the girl's skin, Luochen couldn't help but take a deep breath...

Luo Chen felt the fragrance of the girl in his arms, which could almost melt his rationality, and the string called reason in his heart was immediately tightened.

"Brother Luo Chen, it's okay..."

Ye Xinxia seemed to sense Luo Chen's emotions as well and responded softly.

next moment

The string of reason in Luo Chen's mind...

broken……

………………

The next day

The sunlight at two or three o'clock in the afternoon was particularly warm and comfortable, shining on a small orange tree planted in the middle of the small courtyard. The unripe fruits seemed to become bright and shiny all of a sudden.

"Brother Luo Chen, is it dawn yet?"

Xinxia rubbed her sleepy eyes and asked Luo Chen gently, while hugging Luo Chen's neck like a clingy tree and spoke softly.

"It's still early! No need to rush!"

Luo Chen stroked Xinxia's soft long hair and said.

Xinxia's long black hair feels very comfortable to the touch.

Thinner hair is more likely to get tangled, but since Xinxia always takes good care of it and treats her hair with care, her hair never gets tangled or frizzed, and always stays in a beautiful straight line.

In the past, the hairstyle that Luo Chen saw Xinxia with was always so decent.

Only today did Luo Chen see with his own eyes the girl's long hair lazily hanging by her ears, her collarbone...

It also has a unique flavor.

"Brother Luo Chen, what kind of hairstyle do you like?"

"I don't have any particular preference in this regard... I think Xinxia, ​​you can just change your hairstyle to whatever you like."

Luo Chen played with Xinxia's hair and said seriously.

If Xinxia changed her hairstyle for his opinion, although Luo Chen would be happy because Xinxia tried hard to please him, his mood would inevitably become complicated.

The moment Luo Chen's hand touched Xinxia's skin, Xinxia's body trembled noticeably and her gaze began to evade.

It seemed that because of what happened last night, Xinxia was afraid to look directly at Luo Chen.

Perhaps because she subconsciously looked away, Luo Chen also noticed the girl's embarrassment and stopped teasing her.

It was not until the sun was about to set that Xinxia realized the passage of time. She stood up and wanted to help Luo Chen pack his luggage.

But how could Luo Chen let his wife do it herself? He just let Xinxia have a good rest while he took care of the preparations.

It was not until the evening that Xinxia finally got up.

But for Luo Chen, even the affairs of the National Government team are not as important as a single cent of his wife!
Therefore, Luo Chen postponed his trip for two days for Xinxia's sake, and did not board the plane to Imperial Capital until the third day.
