A carefree soldier king in the city

Chapter 27 The Bet at the Wedding

The city—this is the place he has always longed for. Here, he can live freely, he can soar freely, he can enjoy himself to the fullest, because this is where his dreams are, this is where his pursuits are.

"Extraordinary, get off the bus."

Tang Qianqian's words immediately brought Chao Bufan, who was fast asleep, back to reality. He rubbed his blurry eyes and then said "Oh".

As soon as she got out of the car, Tang Qianqian said, "I'm going to a classmate's wedding now."

Upon hearing this, Chao Bufan was taken aback and asked in surprise, "Weren't you going home? Why are you here to attend your classmate's wedding again?"

Tang Qianqian said calmly, "It's not too late to go home after attending the wedding. She was my classmate in high school and college. Now she is the general manager of the Kong Group and also the eldest daughter of the Kong Group."

"Oh."

"Do you want to go?" she asked.

Without hesitation, Chao Bufan replied, "Why would I go to your classmate's wedding?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Qianqian looked slightly disappointed, which Chao Bufan naturally noticed. He smiled and said, "However, if there are pretty girls, I wouldn't mind going."

Upon hearing Chao Bufan say that he would only go if there were pretty girls present, Tang Qianqian immediately frowned and said irritably, "Then you'd better not go. I'll go alone."

Chao Bufan chuckled and said nonchalantly, "Alright, I'll wander around, you go ahead!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Qianqian became even angrier, snorted coldly, and left.

Although the Kong Group cannot compare to the Tang Group, it is still one of the six listed companies in S City, and the company has a history of forty years.

Today, the Kong family is decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and everyone is in high spirits because the eldest daughter of the Kong family, Kong Qin, is getting married today. The man she is marrying is Qi Minghao, the only son of the highest official in the province.

It must be said that Qi Minghao is quite an impressive figure. He used his father's connections to start a company, which met the listing requirements in less than a year, and now he is quite wealthy.

Therefore, their wedding was very special. Not only was it held on a huge cruise ship, but many news media outlets also came uninvited and broadcast it live.

Because those who came to attend Qi Minghao and Kong Qin's wedding this time included not only well-known business figures, but also many officials from G Province, and even some famous figures from the underworld.

People from both the legitimate and criminal worlds, as well as various prominent figures, attended the wedding. It can be said that such a high-profile wedding, a union of powerful figures, has never been seen before in the entire G province.

It's easy to imagine that such a wedding is anything but ordinary, as many people there want to take advantage of this rare opportunity to curry favor with their superiors, and some even dream of forming a corporate alliance.

Along the escalator leading to the cruise ship, a security guard stands on each side every two steps, greeting the distinguished guests who have come to attend the wedding with a smile.

The wedding was held in the lobby on the first floor of the cruise ship. The huge cruise ship's lobby could accommodate thousands of people, and at this moment, it was already packed with people.

One thing is certain: those who can enter this place are all high-ranking officials and nobles with prominent status and lofty position.

However, since the time had not yet arrived, the main characters, the bride and groom, were getting ready on the top floor of the cruise ship, the fifth floor. So, the guests who came to attend the wedding were eating, drinking, and having fun. If you glanced around, you could see them gathered in groups of three or five, chatting and laughing.

When Tang Qianqian stepped into the hall, she was immediately greeted with screams from the group of young men and women at the entrance.

They faced the gate and huddled together, making bets. Some bet on a beautiful woman coming in, some on a handsome man, some on a shrew, and some on a middle-aged man...

People of all ages and body types, from tall and short to fat and thin, beautiful and ugly, young and old, are included.

Of course, since it's a bet, there are bound to be stakes. Most of these young men and women bet on handsome men against beautiful women, and vice versa.

"Aha, I won, I won! She's a stunning beauty, and she seems to be an ice queen!"

A young man suddenly burst into laughter, a smug look on his face, because this time he had finally guessed right.

"Hurry up, hurry up, transfer the money!"

The young man laughed heartily, beckoned to the young men and women around him, urging them to honor their bets. Without a word, the others transferred their bets to the account of the young man who had won.

Holy crap! A casual bet resulted in seven-figure sums in every single one of them. What a bunch of spendthrifts!

After the transfer was completed, one of the young men suddenly spoke up: "Gambling like this is too boring. If we're going to gamble, let's gamble something more exciting."

How do we gamble?

"Didn't you win the bet? How about you go over and kiss her?"

"Forehead?"

"..."

"Yes, that's how you gamble—it's more exciting."

"This……"

"If you dare to go and kiss her, our bet will double; otherwise, you'll have to return double the bet you just made."

"Yes, yes, let's bet like this, are you in or not?"

"...Alright, let's bet then, who's afraid of who! You all watch closely."

For these wealthy young men and women, this amount of money is just the tip of the iceberg; they would never care about a few hundred or tens of millions of dollars.

The young man stepped forward, looking incredibly handsome, brushed a strand of hair from his forehead, pursed his lips, blew a breath upward, and then strode confidently toward Tang Qianqian, who was walking towards him. He then opened his arms and smiled.

"Oh, Koko, why are you so late? I was so worried!"

"Forehead?"

The young men and women were all taken aback when they saw this, but what happened next surprised them even more.

Before Tang Qianqian could even react, the young man suddenly hugged her, cupped her face in his hands, and then kissed her hard on the forehead.

"Koko, I missed you so much."

The young man looked serious, as if it were real.

However, being kissed in public for no apparent reason, Tang Qianqian's face immediately turned cold, her expression turning icy. She quickly and forcefully pushed the young man away, and without saying a word, she slapped him hard across the face with a sharp "smack," while angrily shouting, "Are you sick? This is ridiculous!"

After saying that, she stormed off in a huff. Actually, Tang Qianqian was already holding a grudge because of Chao Bufan's earlier remark, "If there are any beautiful women, I wouldn't mind going." Now, having been inexplicably kissed in public, she became even angrier. So, when she slapped him, the force was extremely heavy, making the young man see stars and feel dizzy.
