68: Security guard tells fortunes

"Boss Yang, this great beauty here is none other than the Hall Master of the Vermilion Bird Hall..."

Zhu Yunque interrupted Wang Jiacheng, "Mr. Wang, please do not tell him my name. I have no desire to associate with this hooligan."

"If not for the sake of Steward Wang today, I would have already left in a huff."

Wang Jiacheng said, "Since the Hall Master has such a request, how could I dare not comply?"

He turned to Little Security Guard, "Boss Yang, please forgive my rudeness. Please ask her yourself when you have the chance!"

Little Security Guard didn't even look at Wang Jiacheng, keeping his thief-like gaze fixed on Zhu Yunque. He smiled and said, "Oh, just because you are unwilling to say it, does that mean I cannot guess it?"

"I happen to be a fortune teller, and I can calculate your basic information."

Zhu Yunque pursed her lips, "Hmph! Give it a rest! All fortune tellers are scammers. Are you, a Little Security Guard, just another con artist who loves to deceive people?"

Little Security Guard said, "Whether I'm a scammer or not, you'll know once you try!"

Zhu Yunque sneered, "Then calculate what my name is."

Little Security Guard extended his left hand and used his right hand to count the knuckles on his left.

The crowd watched Little Security Guard quietly, whispering to themselves, wondering what on earth this kid was up to.

Sigh! It must be his childish Heart-Nature; he just likes to joke around!

The maid standing behind Zhu Yunque covered her mouth and giggled, "Hmph! Only kindergarteners learning addition and subtraction count like that. Boss Yang, aren't you just doing addition and subtraction within ten?"

A burst of mocking laughter erupted in the hall.

Jing Hua felt puzzled. Since when did her brother know how to tell fortunes? How come she didn't know?

Zhu Yeqing thought to himself, 'Isn't Big Brother being too childish?'

But then he reconsidered. Big Brother was highly skilled; he could even tame a goshawk, so it wouldn't be strange if he could divine the future.

He immediately glared at those mocking him, his gaze sharp as a knife.

Someone who was mocking Little Security Guard saw Zhu Yeqing's expression and quickly shut their mouth in fright.

While everyone was mocking him, Little Security Guard's heart was as still as water, his emotions unrevealed on his Face.

After a moment, Little Security Guard lowered his hand and smiled, "Heh heh, I've calculated it."

Zhu Yunque sneered, "If you've calculated it, then say it! Let's see if your calculation is accurate."

Little Security Guard: "What if I guess correctly?"

Zhu Yunque: "So you guess it, so what? What do you want?"

Little Security Guard: "How about this: if I guess correctly, you will marry me as my concubine!"

"How dare you!" the armed maids behind Zhu Yunque shouted in unison!

"You have some nerve!"

"How dare you ask our Hall Master to be your concubine!"

"Who do you think you are?"

"Why don't you go take a look at yourself in the mirror?"

Little Security Guard wasn't angry; he just kept staring at Zhu Yunque with a lecherous, burning gaze, making Zhu Yunque's skin crawl and feel extremely uncomfortable.

Zhu Yunque thought to herself, 'I only took over recently, and few in the Jianghu know about me.'

'Only Wang Jiacheng here knows my name.'

'How could he possibly know my name?'

'Besides, he mistook me for Wang Ajiao earlier, which proves he really doesn't know me.'

She said, "Being your wife is absolutely impossible."

"How about this: if you guess right, I will reward you with an apple!"

She pointed to the apple on the plate in front of her as she spoke.

Little Security Guard was dismissive. This was Mr. Wang's item; it wasn't hers.

"I don't want other people's things. I want your things."

Zhu Yunque: "What thing?"

Seeing that she had only drunk half the wine in her glass, Little Security Guard said, "I want the wine you haven't finished yet."

Hearing this, the crowd thought, 'Heh, this kid wants to taste the beauty's lips!'

This guy really knows how to play!

Being able to drink the wine a beauty hasn't finished is equivalent to an indirect kiss, right?

We don't even know this beauty's name; this is a perfect chance to find out.

This is equivalent to Boss Yang asking the question everyone wanted to ask on our behalf!

Zhu Yunque's expression changed. Her red lipstick stain was still on the rim of the glass in front of her.

This kid actually dares to flirt with her?

"What if you guess wrong?"

Little Security Guard said, "If I guess wrong, you can hit any part of my body. I guarantee I won't fight back or dodge, but you have to do it yourself!"

Zhu Yunque was stunned. Why did it seem like he gained an advantage if he won, and also gained an advantage if he lost?

Zhu Yeqing secretly gave a thumbs up. Big Brother really knows how to play!

Jing Hua felt like she had drunk a whole jar of vinegar. 'Wait until we get back tonight, I'll hit you first!'

Everyone teased, "Boss Yang, you have quite the romantic luck!"

Boss Yang cupped his hands to the crowd, "You're too kind, too kind!"

"Don't be envious, everyone. In the future, I'll marry her on behalf of all of you!"

Wang Jiacheng thought, 'This kid is quite good at taking advantage!'

He got the benefit himself, yet he framed it as if everyone else was taking advantage and receiving a favor.

Zhu Yunque: 'Marry me on behalf of everyone? Who agreed to marry you?'

"Hey! You tell me first, what is my name? Who knows if you're actually accurate?"

Little Security Guard: "Your name is Zhu—Yun—Yunque—, am I right or not?"

Zhu Yunque's Face changed color. 'Who told him?'

She turned her gaze to Wang Jiacheng.

Wang Jiacheng quickly shook his head, "I didn't tell him!"

That was true; Wang Jiacheng was under her surveillance, so it was impossible for him to tell Little Security Guard secretly!

From Zhu Yunque's expression, everyone could see that Boss Yang had guessed correctly.

Zhu Yunque, what a good name! Like a bird flying in the clouds, very poetic!

Zhu Yeqing: 'Damn, Big Brother really knows how to tell fortunes!'

Jing Hua: 'He really guessed it right? How did he know?'

The crowd jeered, "Boss Yang is going to drink the beauty's leftover wine!"

"Drinking leftover wine this time, next time it'll be wedding wine!"

"No day like today, why not hold the wedding today!"

Zhu Yunque wasn't a pushover. She quickly thought of a way out; she couldn't take this loss today. She sneered, "Guessing my name is nothing special. So many people here know my name; maybe you heard it from someone else."

She knew it was impossible, but she said it anyway to give herself an out.

"Many people know my name, but my nickname is only known by me and my father."

"How about this: if you can calculate my nickname, I'll be convinced."

Little Security Guard smiled, "What's hard about that?"

"I'm just afraid that once I calculate it, you won't keep your word and will deny it after pulling up your pants!"

Zhu Yunque: "Ridiculous! I will keep my word even after pulling up my pants!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a strange sensation, as if she had fallen into his trap.

Little Security Guard didn't give her time to think, "Good, since Hall Master Zhu is willing to keep her word and admit it even after pulling up her pants, I'll say it."

"Your nickname is Little XX; only your father calls you that."

"Great Beauty Zhu, am I right or not?"

Zhu Yunque was drinking wine, and she spat a mouthful out, spraying the person next to her.

When the people around saw Zhu Yunque's reaction, they thought, 'Damn, Boss Yang guessed right again?'

'Does this person really know how to tell fortunes? Is there really such a thing as fortune-telling?'

However, a nickname like "Little XX" didn't seem to be a problem.

Little Security Guard: "Young Miss Zhu, you said it yourself... you have to keep your word!"

A large blush had already spread across Zhu Yunque's Face...
