The dealer, swaying, kept her eyes on the timer on the table. When the timer reached two minutes, with a loud thud, she skillfully slammed the box containing the dice onto the table.

"Please make your guesses, gentlemen," the dealer said with a smile, looking at Tang Yu.

Tang Yu took a quick glance and saw that the numbers on the three dice were 1, 3, and 6.

"Guessing like this won't work, Miss. Please give us two pens, and we'll write the numbers we have in mind on our palms. Then you can let us reveal them together," Tang Yu said. This way, whatever he guessed, Li Longji wouldn't just follow. Otherwise, how could they determine the winner?

"The young master is thoughtful. Actually, there are pens on each table, in the drawers in front of you," the dealer said with a smile.

"Oh?" Tang Yu was taken aback, opened the drawer in front of him, and found not only pens but also paper. It seemed the casino had thought of everything. Tang Yu took out a pen, and Li Longji snorted, also unscrewing the pen cap. He had no objections to Tang Yu's suggestion, thinking that Tang Yu would follow his lead to avoid losing.

Tang Yu wrote 10 on his palm, clenching it so that only the person behind him could see. Guo Xiaodong, Xia Shihan, Zhang Jing, and Zhao Ling all saw it and were somewhat surprised, thinking that Tang Yu was being too hasty. But upon further reflection, this was a matter of luck, and there was nothing to consider.

Based on his hearing, Li Longji could judge that the total should be between 6 and 11. But with such a wide range, he couldn't decide. Seeing that Tang Yu had already written his guess, he didn't want to lose face, so he randomly wrote 9. After all, it was just a guess, and who knew the final answer? Even if he guessed wrong, as long as he was closer to the correct number, it would be fine.

"Have you both written your guesses? Please reveal them now," the dealer said impartially.

Tang Yu and Li Longji both laid their hands flat on the table.

"So close!" Guo Xiaodong was also taken aback. The three girls also showed surprise.

Li Yunting's heart was pounding. Looking at the 9 and 10, she was extremely nervous. But at that moment, she was determined that she wanted Tang Yu to win. If Tang Yu won, she could be with him again. And Li Longji had personally promised in front of everyone that if he lost, he had no reason to object. Although he might still use some despicable means, she wasn't afraid.

"Almost got it by luck," Tang Yu thought coldly.

"Let me confirm again, 9 and 10. No problems, good. Now, I'll open it," the dealer smiled politely, extending her hand to lift the box.

At that moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on the center of the table.

"Ah!"

"What!"

Li Longji and Yao Wenhao were both stunned, not expecting Tang Yu to guess correctly!

Li Yunting, however, let out a long sigh, the weight on her heart suddenly lifted. Tang Yu really won! Her lips curved into a captivating smile, like ripples on a calm lake. Her beautiful eyes looked at Tang Yu, who was no longer the toad in others' eyes but a victorious king, a young man no one could underestimate.

Suddenly, Li Yunting felt a cold gaze glance at her. This gaze wasn't the passionate one she had hoped for but one that made her shiver with cold.

Tang Yu stood up, glanced at Li Yunting, and then looked at Li Longji: "You lost. Now, she's mine."

"Haha, Brother Li, I didn't expect you to lose your daughter today. If I had known, I would have taken her. I would treat her well," someone said.

"Yes, Brother Li, you can't go back on your word. If this gets out, who will dare to gamble with you in the future?"

...

Unintentionally, dozens of people had gathered around, surrounding Tang Yu and the others, and most of them knew Li Longji, who were all big bosses.

Li Longji, hearing the comments from so many people, many of whom he knew and had business dealings with, realized that if he went back on his word, his reputation and credibility would plummet. Not only would no one dare to gamble with him in the future, but no one would dare to do business with him, and his large company might even go bankrupt. But this was his precious daughter, whom he had gone through so much trouble to get away from that boy. Now, he was essentially handing her back to him. How could he bear it?

But he had no choice but to do so. Was this fate?

"Uncle, no. Didn't you promise me that you would let Yunting be my girlfriend in the future?" Yao Wenhao looked at Li Longji and said loudly.

"Wenlong, this is none of your business. Don't speak," Li Longji glared at Yao Wenhao, then looked at Tang Yu: "Fine, I'll honor the bet. Yunting is yours."

"Fine, since she's mine now, do I have the right to announce that 'I'm dumping her'?" Tang Yu said coldly, pointing at Li Yunting.

"Ah..." "..."

...

Hearing Tang Yu's words and seeing his face filled with hatred and extreme coldness, everyone was shocked.

Xia Shihan also looked at Tang Yu in shock. She had thought he would reconcile with Li Yunting, but she never expected him to say he was dumping her.

"Wh... Why?" Li Yunting was already in tears, looking at Tang Yu. It seemed that his hatred had long erased the pure love they once shared.

"At first, you dumped me. Now I'm dumping you. We're even. From now on, you go your way, and I'll go mine. Our lives will never intersect again. Let's go," Tang Yu's cold words were like a bucket of icy water poured over Li Yunting, soaking her to the bone and chilling her to the core. How could Tang Yu forgive the Li family for their persecution of his family?

Tang Yu took another step forward, tightly hugging Xia Shihan in his arms, and walked toward the front desk. Xia Shihan, who was still in shock, looked up at Tang Yu again. It seemed that he truly hated Li Yunting. Li Yunting was so perfect, and now that she was his, he had unexpectedly dumped her in public. This would be a tremendous blow to Li Yunting. Perhaps, the little man hugging her wanted this result.

Xia Shihan wasn't sad but felt a strange sense of schadenfreude. For a kind person like her, this was something she would never have done before. Had she really changed because of Tang Yu?

Guo Xiaodong, Zhang Jing, and Zhao Ling were all stunned for a moment. They had thought that Tang Yu wanted Li Yunting as the bet to be with her again, given their once famous and envied love. But they never expected that he wanted to dump her in public!

"Boss, wait for us," Guo Xiaodong pulled Zhang Jing and Zhao Ling, and they all left together.
