Jiang Zhuoheng proclaimed happily as he stretched his hand to take the tile that Xuxu had just discarded .
"What! Your luck is ridiculous . This was the last remaining tile!" Lu Yinan stared in disbelief at Jiang Zhuoheng's . He frowned and looked rather unconvinced .
"Ten tokens each . " Jiang Zhuoheng extended his hands towards Lu Yinan and Ming Ansheng .
From what Yan Rusheng could tell, Jiang Zhuoheng was feeling exceedingly smug and pleased right now .
Of course, his mood wasn't exactly pretty at that moment, but he controlled his emotions well . A fleeting smile played around his mouth and he seemed unconcerned .
He took the fork, speared another piece of meat and delivered it to Xuxu's mouth .

Xuxu lowered her head to count ten tokens and stretched her hand to pass it to Jiang Zhuoheng . "Here, ten tokens . "
Throughout the game, they had been playing with tokens so she didn't know how much money did each token represent . She gave it out rather enthusiastically each time .
The chandeliers on top of them shone and illuminated Xuxu's fair hands . Her neatly trimmed fingernails on her beautiful and slender fingers sparkled in the light .
Yan Rusheng gazed at her hands and had a sudden whim to grab her hands and envelop them tightly with his .
He noticed Jiang Zhuoheng's outstretched hand, ready to collect Xuxu's tokens and he couldn't take it any longer . He hastily stretched his hand to collect the tokens from Xuxu, and slammed it down in front of Jiang Zhuoheng .
The atmosphere in the room turned freezing cold in a split second .
Xuxu's hand hovered in mid-air for a while before she retracted awkwardly .

"You guys carry on . I need to go to the comfort room . "
She simply couldn't stay in the room any longer .
She stood up quickly and went around the table, past Yan Rusheng . She grabbed the hems of her dress, strode quickly to the door, and disappeared out of sight in no time .
She went out of the room and searched for the comfort room .
Two fashionably-dressed ladies in the bathroom were chatting near the basin . They greeted Xuxu politely when they noticed her walking in . "Mrs . Yan . "
Xuxu held the hem of her dress with one hand and the other clutching her chest . She stole a glance at them but remained silent . Without stopping, she walked towards the cubicle .
Yan Rusheng kept stuffing her with food earlier and she had gobbled the food down in a rush . The food seemed to be stuck around her chest area and she felt very uncomfortable . She was afraid of puking the instant she opened her mouth .
The minute she went inside, she slammed the door and starting puking and flushing the toilet simultaneously .
The loud flushing sounds covered the sounds of her puking so no one knew that she was feeling unwell .
"Look . So the rumors are right . She had simply ignored us with that aloof attitude even when we tried to greet her . "
"Tch . How could she be so arrogant? She is just Third Madam Yan in title . "
"How could it be? Didn't you see how loving she was with the Third Young Master tonight?"
"Everything is just for show . I heard that they sleep separately at home and Third Young Master doesn't even touch her . She is like a living widow . "
The two wealthy madams who had greeted Wen Xuxu earlier on took it to heart that Xuxu had ignored them .
They looked at the closed door and criticized Xuxu viciously .
From a dark corner, a pair of malicious-looking eyes which resembled a bottomless abyss was glaring intensely at them with a glacial expression .
Xuxu puked out all the food she had eaten earlier on and her head was spinning . She had to hold the wall for support to get out of the comfort room as she wobbled in her heels .
She went to the basin and turned on the tap . The water was warm and she gargled her mouth .
Then she straightened her back and pulled some tissues to clean her hand . She rested against the basin and took a deep breath .
