Love Gambit: The Untouchable Tycoon is So Dangerous-Chapter 467 - 471: You are wrong, I don’t love her.

Xiahou Chunyi’s intention to protect his wife was so obvious that Zhong Zhen’s face turned red in an instant.

She wasn’t the sort of weak woman either and directly demanded equal treatment, "Since we’re all playing together, it should be fair. I’ll participate too, and count me in on the bet."

"Alright!" Ran Xiangsi nodded cheerfully, glared at Xing Chen, and then turned to walk into the pile of stones.

Xing Na, not to be outdone, followed and carefully observed the stones in front of her.

Xiahou Chunyi nodded to Zhong Zhen, and she joined their team as well.

After the three women walked away, Xiahou Chunyi approached Xing Chen and couldn’t help but sigh, "Three women, one drama. It’s really not false!"

Xing Chen remained silent, his eyes and mind filled only with the figure that always tugged at his heartstrings.

Xiahou Chunyi waited for a response but got none. He instinctively looked back at Xing Chen and saw him staring at Ran Xiangsi.

Ah...it seems this younger brother of his was getting in deeper and deeper.

"Alright, stop looking. Didn’t you agree to act distant? Your love for her now might very well harm her. The more you love her, the more people will want to harm her."

After a moment’s hesitation, Xiahou Chunyi still decided to advise Xing Chen.

The mysterious person behind all this hadn’t been found yet, and now was a crucial time, with no room for error.

Xing Chen heard Xiahou Chunyi’s words and slightly furrowed his long brows, his hand hanging by his side unconsciously clenched tight.

"You’re wrong, I don’t love her." Throwing down the sentence, Xing Chen didn’t pull back his gaze from Ran Xiangsi.

His woman, he would naturally protect her with all his might.

"Don’t love? Then you..." Xiahou Chunyi was confused by Xing Chen’s words.

How could he possibly not love her? He clearly loved her deeply!

Xing Chen listened to Xiahou Chunyi’s confusion but did not respond, just smiled to himself.

At some point, he had learned to talk like Ran Xiangsi.

She had once said she would never fall in love with him.

So, he wouldn’t fall in love with her either.

Yes, he didn’t love her and never did.

——

In this world, there are many kinds of love.

Love that is spoken of but never acted upon.

Love that is evident in every gesture but never spoken of.

The former is a hollow lie, a hurtful blade.

The latter is bone-deep affection, a savior’s grace.

——Su Zhishui.

Xiahou Chunyi could never understand these two.

Their love was too complex; his and Zhong Zhen’s was simpler.

A match arranged by elders; they met, liked each other, and would soon marry.

Simple and straightforward, without many twists and turns or unbelievable events.

While the men chatted, the women were busy picking stones.

This time, with such a terrifying bet, Zhong Zhen and Xing Na were determined to win!

After all... if anyone truly ended up having to clean toilets, it would probably become a lifelong stain, wouldn’t it?

So they began to buy stones in large quantities, hoping to find more and better jade!

Only Ran Xiangsi.

She didn’t purchase quickly but walked slowly among the stones, carefully inspecting each one.

She was accompanied by two people, her secret subordinates from The Matrix.

Qi Shuai and Long Jinseng.

Long Jinseng was born in the border region, next to Gong Country, and had studied stones from a young age.
