She really couldn't understand why the son of a Gambling King would die with his daughter-in-law at fifty.
His only grandson remained single to this day.
He had money and power, so why was his love life so difficult?
She didn't want to see her grandson alone before she died.
That's why she thought of forcing him to go on a blind date.
She also wanted to take this opportunity to find out if her precious grandson was interested in women.
If he wasn't interested, maybe she'd have to think of other ways.
Like adopting someone...
Actually, she had long disliked that special assistant by her precious grandson's side.
"This blind date is no ordinary person; she's the Second Princess of the British Royal Family. If you refuse, they might assassinate me."
He had already refused the Old Lady seven times.
He was in a good mood today, so he might as well humor the Old Lady.
"Alright, I'll go."
Hearing Pei Yanzhi agree, the Old Lady froze for several seconds before reacting.
"Yanzhi, you... you've finally come to your senses."
"I didn't expect to have a chance to hold a grandson! This is great!"
Not really.
It probably wouldn't be that fast.
Although it was also possible.
Pei Yanzhi's mind at this moment was filled with Shi Wu's image, her holding a child and sitting by the bed, breastfeeding.
"Yanzhi, I've sent you the meeting location. Be sure to be on time!"
His grandmother's words also interrupted his thoughts.
...
Inside the hotel.
Shi Wu finally woke up. After leaving the casino last time, she had slept until now.
Temporal teleportation was too exhausting. After a few days of rest, she was now full of energy.
Shi Wu stood by the window and stretched, feeling completely revitalized.
Her gaze fixed on the Carlo Casino building in the distance, and Pei Yanzhi's image suddenly appeared in her mind.
She hadn't contacted him in days; she wondered what he was doing?
"Host, Pei Yanzhi is on a blind date." The system's mechanical voice sounded in her ear.
Shi Wu raised an eyebrow slightly, her pink lips parting.
"Oh, a blind date?"
She turned and picked up her phone from the bedside table, sending a message to Pei Yanzhi.
"Mr. Pei, do you have time for another gamble?"
Pei Yanzhi, who received this message, was sitting in the most romantic garden restaurant in Las Vegas.
And directly opposite him sat the Royal Second Princess—Diana.
Diana looked at Pei Yanzhi with a shy expression.
Originally, she had no interest in this blind date at all, but fortunately, she glanced at Pei Yanzhi's photo before refusing, and hearing that he ran a casino made her even more interested.
Moreover, he looked even more handsome in person than in the photo, exuding an aura of abstinence.
She couldn't imagine how jealous her sister would be if such a man were her husband!
Pei Yanzhi looked at the text message, his heart racing wildly.
Although the sender didn't say who it was, he had already guessed it was Shi Wu.
This number was his private number; besides his special assistant using it for emergency contact, he had only given it to Shi Wu.
It was her!
She finally contacted him!
Pei Yanzhi lowered his head, a smile curving his lips, and quickly replied to the message.
"Of course."
"Where are you? I'll come find you."
He was reluctant to turn off the screen, staring intently, waiting for Shi Wu's reply.
Diana, sitting opposite him, bit her lower lip, feeling a vague sense of unease.
Since they met, he had always been cold, so why was he suddenly smiling so happily now?
And he kept his head down; was he chatting with someone he liked?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Pei, do you have someone you like?"
"No," Pei Yanzhi replied coldly.
He hadn't actually heard her question clearly; he just wanted to give a perfunctory answer.
"That's good!" Diana immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
She happily stirred the coffee in her cup.
"My father said that when I get married, he will give me a large estate as a dowry."
"Do you like wine? My family has a super large wine estate in France. If you're interested, we can..."
Buzz buzz.
Pei Yanzhi's phone vibrated, and Shi Wu's message came through.
"LA Hotel, come pick me up."
The next second, Pei Yanzhi looked up at the little princess opposite him.
"Oh, I'll answer your question from earlier."
"I have someone I like."
"Sorry."
Pei Yanzhi said, then stood up and left.
Diana froze there, her lips twitching slightly.
"He's... he's quite polite."
"But I'm a Royal Second Princess! How dare he refuse me? I want to see what kind of woman she is."
Diana angrily followed him.
At the entrance of the LA Hotel.
Pei Yanzhi drove his flashy supercar and parked at the entrance.
Shi Wu was wearing a blue dress today, a faint blush on her fair cheeks.
She wasn't wearing makeup, yet her features were defined and exquisite, especially her lips, which looked so soft.
He really wanted to kiss them.
"I've kept you waiting." Pei Yanzhi got out of the car and opened the passenger door for her.
He had tried very hard to control his heartbeat on the way.
But in front of her, it was as if even a stone couldn't suppress it.
It was about to burst out.
Across the street, Diana sat in her car, rubbing her eyes several times, seemingly disbelieving.
Was that a real person at the hotel entrance?
Why did she look like she stepped out of a poster?
Unspeakably beautiful.
It wasn't until Pei Yanzhi's car turned around and passed by Diana's car that she finally saw Shi Wu's face up close.
Her heart instantly skipped a beat.
"So, so beautiful!"
Diana said, unconsciously tightening her grip on her handbag.
She was even more beautiful than a Hollywood star!
It was that especially stunning kind of Oriental beauty; just one look and she felt that she must smell fragrant.
"No, how does Pei Yanzhi deserve her?" Diana blinked, then gasped.
"Damn it!"
"She should belong to the Royal Family!"
Diana bit her lower lip, muttering, "If I ask my dad to give her everything in the Royal Family, will she be willing to stay with the Royal Family...?"
"Ah, ah, ah, in short, Pei Yanzhi doesn't deserve her!"
"She should debut as a star; someone so beautiful would definitely be famous worldwide."
"No, no, no, it's best if I enjoy her beauty all by myself..."
On the top floor of the Carlo Casino.
Shi Wu sat on the sofa, drinking Pei Yanzhi's special concoction and looking out the glass window.
She hadn't expected that seeing Las Vegas during the day would evoke a different feeling.
"Where have you been these past few days?" Pei Yanzhi couldn't help but ask.
After she left that day, her image had lingered in his mind.
Haunting his dreams.
He missed her.
Shi Wu put down her cup, her beautiful eyes looking at him.
"If you win against me today, I'll tell you."
Her playful tone made Pei Yanzhi's lips curl up.
"And if I lose?"
Can I lose myself to you?
Would you want me?
Pei Yanzhi's hands unconsciously clenched nervously. In that instant, a strange emotion surged within him.
He really wanted to...
Keep her here.
