Lin Yiqian hurriedly retrieved her hand as she looked away from Gu Nianshen guiltily.
‘Phew!’ Lin Yiqian nearly gave herself away.
“Are you not willing to concede?” Gu Nianshen glared at Li Nanmu as he stood right before him.
Normally, Li Nanmu would not feel bothered by their difference in height. However, right then, he felt that he was unusually shorter in comparison. “You’re someone who has competed professionally. You should know better than to cheat in such a way. You’re insulting the entire game of basketball.” Li Nanmu raised his chin as he spoke.
He was making the matter more serious than it ought to be.
“Alright then. Li Nanmu, you may have to spend some money to hire NBA stars for your match.” Gu Nianshen nodded calmly.
After finishing his sentence, Gu Nianshen picked up his phone from the ground before returning to Lin Yiqian.
Without saying a word, he reached for her hand and began to walk toward the changing room.
Everyone in the hall had become silent.
Even NBA stars would not dare to behave in such an obnoxious way. Gu Nianshen had gone too far.
Lin Yiqian was even more surprised by Gu Nianshen’s behavior than the rest. As she turned to look at Gu Nianshen, she began to study his cool expression.
Was he really leaving?
“Gu Nianshen, come back.”
All of a sudden, Li Nanmu’s panic-stricken voice could be heard from behind them. Although Li Nanmu was afraid that Gu Nianshen would leave, he was not willing to lose face over the matter. “Is that really necessary? Since you have accepted Lin Yiqian as your wife, it does not matter if we address her as our sister-in-law or as our fellow sibling. We are brothers, after all.”
Chuckles.
Lin Yiqian could not help but laugh out loud.
Li Nanmu was known for his cowardice.
Covering her mouth as fast as she could, Lin Yiqian’s immediate reaction was to look at Gu Nianshen.
She could see from the look on his face that he was barely holding it together. In fact, his teeth were showing as he silently chuckled whilst his shoulders were visibly shaking.
Gu Nianshen rarely laughed like this. Right then, his polished teeth were fully visible and he seemed a lot more approachable.
Lin Yiqian stopped smiling as she silently admired Gu Nianshen’s charming face. However, affected by his cheerful grin, barely a second had passed before Lin Yiqian began smiling again.
Secretly, Lin Yiqian used two fingers to tickle the center of Gu Nianshen’s palm on the hand he used to hold hers.
It was a very gentle touch that sent sparks all over Gu Nianshen’s body. He immediately tightened his grip around Lin Yiqian’s hand.
Gu Nianshen gritted his teeth as he pulled Lin Yiqian closer to his body.
Meanwhile, Qi Wuyue and Qin Feng both took a step away from Li Nanmu after realizing how he had surrendered so easily.
They were both looking at Li Nanmu with a disgusted expression on their faces.
In their minds, they wished they were never acquainted with this person.
Meanwhile, Li Nanmu looked away from Gu Nianshen as he shifted his gaze to Qi Wuyue. “Ah Yue, I was the one who has accepted this challenge. For the sake of greater good, it won’t hurt to address Lin Yiqian as our sister-in-law.”
Li Nanmu would only use ‘Ah Yue’ whenever he needed help from Qi Wuyue.
Under normal circumstances, he would always address Qi Wuyue in impolite ways.
“Li Nanmu, what did I tell you about not dragging me into your nasty business? Do you have amnesia?” Qi Wuyue fumed as he could no longer suppress his anger.
Had Li Nanmu forgotten about when he had caused each of his friends to lose four million dollars?
How many times did Li Nanmu have to get Qi Wuyue into trouble?
“You didn’t disagree when I mentioned the terms earlier. Clearly, you wanted to hear Gu Nianshen calling you his daddy too,” Li Nanmu said with a pout.
Indeed, Qin Feng felt a sense of guilt as he had actually shared the same thought.
After all, if Gu Nianshen had actually called him daddy for once, he would be able to brag about it for the rest of his life.
