Moreover, a man who accepts that another man is better than him? That is very unlikely. Lily thought that maybe her husband just wanted to make himself less impressive compared to his best friend.
Well…. Lily was wrong.
She never thought that one day, she would see Yang Mi this embarrassed to the point of wanting to cry. Who wouldn't? Before the blindfold, Bei Tian was not even hitting the bullseye.
Now however, with his blindfold on, Bei Tian never missed a shot. Everything happened too fast that when they realized their mistake in agreeing with the bet, Bei Tian already let go of his tenth arrow.
*SWOOOSSSHHH*
Another bullseye.
A gasp escaped Lily's mouth. She immediately turned towards Yang Mi who only hit seven bullseyes with her blindfold. Worried that Yang Mi would attack Bei Tian, Lily pulled her husband up and approached the group.
"You tricked me!" Yang Mi hissed, anger apparent in her eyes. No wonder Bei Tian was adamant on having a witness for their bet. He already knew that this would happen. She clenched her hands, her knuckles turned white. "You lied to me!"
"Hah?" Bei Tian said the moment he removed his blindfold. "Why would I lie?"
"You—" Yang Mi's face turned hot. She knew she was blushing. "You pretended that you don't know how to play!"
"I didn't!" Bei Tian smiled. "I told you…. I am a very emotional person. That is something that you won't understand."
Irritation flashed in Yang Mi's eyes. This man…. This man tricked her! She turned towards the smiling Go Jichen. The smile on his face was enough confirmation for her. Fighting the urge to punch Bei Tian and Secretary Go's smug face, she let out a sharp breath.
"Wow! Bei Tian!" Lily's voice echoed behind her. "I never expected that you were actually this good!" For some reason, Lily's presence behind her was enough to calm her down.
"Aiyo… I'm blushing." Bei Tian said. "Jingren… you better watch out. Maybe one day your wife will be so impressed by my skills she will leave you for me."
"Yeah… right." Zhou Jingren smiled. "So… what were you betting again?" he pretended not to know.
"Well… since Miss Yang here tragically lost to me. She will date Mr. Go for a week." Bei Tian smiled. "And yes, you are very much welcome!" These two needed divine intervention, ah. Everyone should thank him for doing this.
"Really?" Lily feigned surprised, she looked at Yang Mi. "You agreed?" Yang Mi nodded silently before she turned her head away from them. To be honest, Bei Tian's silly behavior made her complacent. It made her underestimate this man.
First, underestimating someone who Zhou Jingren trusts is a mistake. A big one. Her eyes landed on the target tens of feet away from them. The fact that Bei Tian suggested this place only meant that he was very familiar with the sport.
The man keeps on babbling nonsense, teasing her and Go Jichen that she had actually forgotten that Bei Tian was actually Zhou Jingren's right hand man. Surely, Zhou Jingren would not trust anyone with mediocre capabilities, right?
"Wow that is a pretty impressive talent." A voice behind them echoed. "This is actually my first time seeing someone shoot an arrow that fast. Are you perhaps… someone who plays the sport professionally?"
It was a man and a woman. Both looked like foreigners with the auburn hair that almost looked black because of the lighting and lovely freckles. Siblings, Yang Mi instantly concluded.
"Oh. No." Bei Tian said smugly. "No offense but that skill is basic to me."
As expected his words surprised both Yang Mi and Lily. However, both chose not to speak and observed the two people who approached them.
A boisterous laughter followed Bei Tian's words as the man who was a little shorter than Zhou Jingren shook his head. "Then… do you want to play with me?"
"No." Bei Tian shook his head. "You have no chance." He then turned his back and put his bow down. Turning his head towards his friends, a smile dangled on Bei Tian's face. "And we are going home."
"How arrogant." The woman smiled. "I like it." She eyed Bei Tian's tall frame and fit physique. "Just one game?"
"I don't like playing games." Bei Tian answered.
"Must be all talk, no skills." The man snickered. "Perhaps, he only got lucky?" His words were obviously intended for the woman beside him, however, his eyes never left Bei Tian.
"Aiyo… this young master is pretty tired already. Unless, the bet is really tempting, this young master will not play a game."
His words rendered the two speechless. What kind of man was this? How arrogant can he be? "If you want a bet… then let's bet." The woman said, her eyes scanned the group before she nodded inwardly. All good looking people with glass like skin and branded clothes. Surely, these people were members of high society in Hong Kong right?
"What bet?" Bei Tian asked.
While Bei Tian started talking about money to the two, Lily and Zhou Jingren were silently observing their surroundings. Not long after they chose to go back to their seats and let Bei Tian handle it.
"Did you see it?" Qin Yuanfeng's low voice echoed next to Lily. She flinched in response. She was too engrossed in her own thoughts that she actually didn't notice her brother sitting next to her.
"Yes." She answered. Of course she knew these people. "And… can you please not do that again?" She said as she stroked her chest. "Are you trying to scare me?"
