Chapter 923: Talks about gambling den
" You haven"t even started? How can this be done? What am I supposed to do now?" Fei Qinfan yelled in surprise and shock. He was dying to find out what was going to happen to Ren Nian and Lin Yu was sleeping here. How could this be done?
He pulled Lin Yan off the bed and then said, " This won"t do. You need to start working hard, if you don"t finish the second draft what am I supposed to do then? You need to start working as soon as possible."
" I cannot start working yet," Lin Yu wished he could hit Fei Qinfan who was acting like a spoiled child. He now understood why the Emperor and Empress scolded him the last time. This man was too willful! Without proper scolding, he might really pierce the sky! But it was too unfortunate that he could not scold this man, as he was a commoner and this man was a prince!
" Why!?" Fei Qinfan questioned as he looked at Lin Yu with an affronted expression. He blinked his eyes and then said, " I order you to come with me to the study room and start working as soon as possible. It doesn"t matter if you finish a single chapter, I need to know what happens to Ren Nian!"
" I am afraid that this order cannot be fulfilled," Lin Yu yawned as he looked at Fei Qinfan whose face if possible turned even ugly but before the man could say anything to him, Lin Yu went ahead and say, " Wan Wan hasn"t handed me the draft of the second half of the story. If you want to know what happens to Ren Nian then you need to haunt her."
" I will of course——" Fei Qinfan wanted to say that he was going to badger Su Wan but then he was pulled back by Chi Jia who shook his head. His guard then whispered, " Third prince, you still have to do the business of gla.s.s with Madam Su. If you offend her then you might not be able to do it. Do you want to make a loss?"
Fei Qinfan thought about it and then pursed his lips. His personal guard was right, if he offended Su Wan then what was he supposed to do? She would s.n.a.t.c.h the business back from him! And he still needed to get the second hybrid rose from her. Without it, he might not be able to earn money!
" I see, if that is the case then I will patiently wait for the next edition," Fei Qinfan nodded and then said elegantly. He turned to look at Lin Yu and then said gracefully, " I cannot trouble a woman. As a gentleman, I need to wait for a woman it"s not the attribute of a gentleman to rush a woman."
Lin Yu: "…" Just say that you are scared of my wife. There is no need to say such nonsense, you know?
" I understand," Lin Yu nodded without saying what was going on in his head. He then pointed to his pillow with a gentle smile and said, " Can I go back to sleep? I am tired. Last night I was busy finishing this edition."
" Yes, Yes. Go to sleep," Fei Qinfan waved his hand and then walked out of the room that belonged to Lin Yu. As he stepped out of the room, he could not help but remark, " This was such a waste of time."
" And you are a waste of s.p.a.ce," Lin Yu thought in his head as he punched the pillow before going to sleep.
Fei Qinfan returned to where Su Wan was and then sullenly said, "Why did you not tell me that this edition"s next edition was yet to be written?" He glared at Su Wan with a lot of grievance which made Su Wan"s lips twitch. She looked at Fei Qinfan and then said, "
" I did try to tell you but you rushed out of the room before I can tell you."

Her response only made Fei Qinfan roll his eyes which caused Su Wan to be amused. She then took out a set of cards and chips that she had prepared for Eunuch Xi before saying, " Don"t be so upset. I have something else in my hands here, you can use it to play when you are bored."
Fei Qinfan looked at the cards and chips that were placed on the table and did not know what to make of them.
" What are these?" He asked Su Wan who smiled and then replied,
" This is a new game that I came up with. It"s called poker," she paused and then added, " Lord Qinfan do you want to play a game with me? That way you will be able to learn the rules ."
Fei Qinfan was indeed interested in the games that were placed in front of him and thus he nodded without even knowing what he was agreeing to.
Su Wan smiled as she picked up the cards and then said, " I hope, Lord Qinfan has decided what he is going to put as a bet?"
" Who are you trying to scare, of course I have."

Three hours later.
Fei Qinfan sat on the couch after losing his golden silk robe. He could not understand why he did not win any of the games that he played with Su Wan.
"Another——" Fei Qinfan wanted to say that he was going to play another game but this time around, he was stopped by Chi Jia who shook his head and then said, " What are you going to put as bet this time, your Highness? You … do you even want to lose your pants?" He questioned.
" Don"t worry," Su Wan neatly folded the golden silk robe and then pushed it back to Fei Qinfan but she only pushed the robe back. As for the money and jewellery, they all went into her pockets. She looked at Fei Qinfan before saying, " I am not interested in your master"s pants."
She then turned to look at Fei Qinfan and asked, " Tell me, Lord Qinfan did you like this game?"
" I would have liked it much better if I had won," Fei Qinfan said in a sullen voice causing Su Wan to laugh lightly. She piled up the cards and then said, " Only those who are experienced can win these games."
When Fei Qinfan heard that only the experts could win this game, he was stunned. He looked at Su Wan and then said, " You … You cheated me."
" I did not. I allowed you to learn the rules and asked you whether or not want to gamble anymore but you refused to accept defeat," Su Wan replied with a calm shrug. She then leaned back on her chair and stated, " You were the ones who were enjoying the thrill so much that you refused to back down."
Su Wan arched a brow and then asked, " Did you enjoy the thrill?"
Fei Qinfan pursed his lips as he put on his silk robe and nodded. He said, " Though the bets were high, I did like the thrill."
" Then what do you think about using this opportunity to open a gambling den in the capital?" Su Wan asked as she looked at Fei Qinfan whose eyes widened as he looked at Su Wan and asked, " You want to scam the officials in the capital?"
" What nonsense? I am not doing this because I want to scam the officials. A gambling den is a place where others come to play and release their stress, it can also become a place to exchange information and grow connections. Don"t you want to spread your influence in the capital Third Prince? How long are you going to be the prince who causes trouble for his brother?
You can use this casino to help your brother," explained Su Wan as she looked at Fei Qinfan whose eyes were lit with a glint that was full of excitement.
She then gave Fei Qinfan a rough explanation of how this gambling den could help the crown prince.
The more Fei Qinfan heard about it the more excited he became. He nodded his head and then said, "It"s excellent. But what do I have to do?"
" You don"t have to do anything just write a letter to Eunuch Xi and then have him explain everything to the crown prince. If he is willing then I can help you in making the capital"s first gambling den."
Fei Qinfan understood that he needed the backing of his brother who was the crown prince to open the gambling den in the capital. If the crown prince was backing his gambling den then nothing was going to happen to his gambling den.
Even if someone had any bad intentions towards that gambling den, with the backing of the crown prince, they would have to think twice!
