Chapter 310: Jessie’s Speed of Rebellion
David reluctantly maintains a smile on his face. “Because I love to work. I don’t want to date anyone.”
“TSK. TSK. Stop lying!” Raising his eyebrows, Leigh grins. “We wouldn’tment anything even if you
told us you were a gay. I can introduce a few nice men to you if you like.”
David is speechless.
“Leigh, shut up.” Louis reces the brandy in front of Leigh with a ss of juice. “We all can drink
alcohol tonight except you. The juice is for you.”
Leigh is unhappy and he says, “What’s the fun of drinking juice? I enjoy drinking liquor.”
As he speaks, he wants to grab the ss of brandy back.
Louis casts a cold nce at him, full of murderous look, as if saying, “I dare you to move your hand
another inch!”
“Alright. Drink the juice.” Jessie grabs his hand back. “You have a gunshot wound. You need quit
drinking and smoking within these two months. OK?”
“Okay. Baby, whatever you say.” Leigh stops making a fuss obediently.
After a minute of silence, he takes out the sunflower pendant from his cor, showing off to everyone at
presence. “Look! This is the Christmas gift from my fiancée. Daniel, Louis, I don’t think you’ve received
gifts, have you?”
“Yes. I gave Louis a scarf,” Lily retorts him in a light tone, “A scarf is much more useful than your
ne. It will keep Louis warm.”
“My gift might be a bit non-mainstream,” Ste says, pulling Daniel’s hand and raising it up.
Everyone can see there’s a woven red bracelet on Daniel’s waist, with a bead on it.
Ste smiles slightly. “I think it’s too girlish for a big man like him to wear a ne or a bracelet, so I
made a bracelet for him. It’s not so expensive, but it’ll keep him safe.”
Daniel suddenly says, “This gift is priceless to me.”
“Of course. I dare you to dislike it.” Casting a nce at him from the corner of her eyes, Ste turned to
Leigh and says, “Leigh, based on the ne style, I guess it’s from Van Cleef & Arpels, isn’t it? It’s
really expensive. You need to be careful.”
Pursing her lips, Lily jokes, “I can’t tell if he would treasure it. Based on his characters, I’m afraid the
ne would appear on a certain actress’ neck someday.”
“Yeah, it’s possible indeed.”
“Fuck! I just wanted to show off my Christmas gift. I didn’t offend you, did I?” Under the two women’s
verbal attacks, Leigh feels as if he’s suffocated. “Why did you say that to me?”
“How can you talk in that way to Ste and Lily?” Jessie ps him on the forehead. “They didn’t say
anything wrong. You’re so experienced in romance. You also like to collect photos of those
supermodels’ bosom and leg.”
Leigh feels wronged. “I’ve changed. Baby, why did you take others’ side?”
Jessie rolls her eyes at him. “I’m willing to. What’s wrong with it?”
“Nothing.”
“Nothing? Then shut up and drink your juice.”
Leigh has totally lost in this argument. With an aggrieved look, he picked up a ss of juice and drank
it in silence.
Othersugh at him gleefully.
It’s gettingte and there are more guests gathering in the hall of the nightclub. Almost all the booths
are upied.
For Christmas Eve, Christmas songs have been yed in the hall. The youngsters are dancing on and
off the stage. The booth area is also crowded and lively.
Leigh soon bes active again. Heins that it’s boring to sit still, so he asks a waiter to bring
him poker to y. With the rule that the loser will drink, they starts ying the game of ‘Fight the
Landlord’.
Louis doesn’t want to join the fun, so he just drinks while sitting next to Lily. asionally looking at her
card, he will give her some guidance.
After ying for a dozen of rounds, Leigh is defeated.
“Jesus! You guys are too much!” Leighins with a bitter face, “Each of you have a consultant. In
my side, only Little Fairy and I take turns. And I’m the only one drinking juice if I lose. I’ve drunk almost
nine sses. I’m about to throw up. Daniel, Louis, where is your moral?”
David approaches. “Mr. Leigh, I can help you...”
“Just get out of here!” Leigh rolls his eyes at David, full of disdain. “I’ve yed cards with you before.
You are some. Even my Baby could win against you. If you yed it for me, I’m afraid I would drink
more juice.”
David moves back to his seat in silence.
From the bottom of his heart, he sincerely wishes that Leigh would be dumped by Jessie. If that really
happened one day, he would definitely make fun of him.
Louis stretches his arms on the sofa’s back andughed in a low voice. “If Daniel and I y cards with
you instead, you would have thrown up in the restroom after a few rounds. What now? Do you really
want to y with us?”
They have known each other for several years, so Leigh knows clearly how skilled Louis and Daniel
are when ying poker.
If he really ys with them both, he may lose his pants to them.
Taking a nce at the stage, Leighes up an idea suddenly. He pulls out his cell phone. “Let’s stop
ying poker. It’s not fun that I’m drinking juice all the time. Let’s do something else.”
Lily has seen through his expression at a nce. “You suddenly want to change to y another game.
Are you afraid of losing?”
“Huh! I’m a master at ying poker. How can I be afraid of losing?” Leigh sits straight and retorts
stubbornly, “Why don’t you change the juice to liquor? Let’s go on.”
“I know you want to make an excuse on your gunshot wound, since you can’t drink now.” Lily shakes
her head with a smile. “All right. What do you want to y now? We’ll apany you.”
Leigh raises his eyebrows and says with confidence, “This time you wouldn’t be able to use a
consultant.”
The game that he proposes to y is a true or dare.
All the yers will press within a blue box on the cell phone screen at the same time. When the pointer
turns around, whichever box turns red, the person pressing on it will be the winner. Then the winner
can choose one of the rest yers to choose either answering a question honestly or ying
something risky.
David wants to join them, but he receives a call, which seems to be urgent. He stands up and goes out
to answer the phone immediately.
Leigh counts the rest and six of them will be in the game.
Then he puts his phone on the table and urges excitedly, “Come on!”
Lily and others put their fingers in the blue box on the screen. When their fingers press on the screen,
the pointer rotates quickly. Shortly, the blue box that Jessie is pressing turns red.
“Me! I won!” Jessie announces cheerfully.
“Baby! You are awesome!” Leigh praises her loudly. Then he approaches her and says in a good
manner, “Baby, let’s unite together tonight, making fun of them.”
Jessie nods and turns to look at him suddenly. “I chose you. Truth or dare?”
Leigh is taken aback. “Baby, did you make a mistake?
“Haven’t we agree to make fun of them?”
“Nah. Go ahead and choose, will you?” Jessie asks him crossly. She takes over a bunch of sses of
juice. “It’s OK if you don’t choose. You can drink up them all and quit the game.”
Leigh gapes.
He’s startled by his fiancée’s speed of rebellion.
Lowering his head, he says, “Truth.”
“Here is the question,” Jessie says unhurriedly, “Before dating me, how many dates did you have?”
“Well... It’s been so long... I can’t remember clearly,” stammers Leigh. He doesn’t expect that she would
question him about this, so he wants to muddle through.
Jessie’s gaze became fierce and evil in an instant. “It was you who wants to y the game. Now you
don’t want to follow the rule, do you?”
Leigh has to bite the bullet and answers, “Well, probably, twenty-six...”

“Wow, Mr. Leigh, you are really awesome! You have twenty-six ex-girlfriends.” Jessie pats on his
cheek, wearing a forced smile. “Would you like to work harder and make the number to sixty-six? After
all, sixty-six sounds the same as going smooth in Chinese. What a good sign!”
