Seven Cubs, Seven Fathers, Zero Days Off novel Chapter 95

Chapter 95: Chapter 95: No One Favored Him.

When Shen Yue saw the look in his eyes, a chill ran down her spine:

"Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations on taking first place!"

Huang Ziyue’s brow furrowed slightly.

’This woman is clearly not that happy.’

The other four noticed as well, and they all turned their gazes to Huang Ziyue.

Their eyes held a hint of ambiguous mockery.

It was as if they were saying, ’See? So what if you won? Shen Yue doesn’t like you!’

Huang Ziyue received their gazes but said nothing, his eyes fixed on Shen Yue.

As for Bai Chaosi, having lost, he lowered his eyes for a long moment. When he looked up at Shen Yue again, his gaze was filled with deep self-reproach and sorrow.

Shen Yue met his gaze and was taken aback.

His voice was full of grief:

"I’m useless. Even though I wanted to be by your side at this time, to give you all my love."

"But I still lost. I accept the outcome of the wager."

Shen Yue listened in silence.

’This fox...’

’Is he really upset or... is this an act?’

Mu Silin’s face also showed extreme distress and unwillingness to accept the result:

"Shen Yue, if you don’t like this Flood Dragon, you can go back on your word. Your wishes are what matter most."

SWISH!

Everyone looked up again, their gazes filled with expectation as they fixed on her.

But among all the stares, only one cold gaze was locked tightly on her.

She looked over and could see a subtle, almost imperceptible trace of dejection and hurt in his moonlit expression.

She faltered for a moment.

Huang Ziyue just stared at her, unable to put a name to the feeling in his heart.

His hands, hanging at his sides, slowly clenched into fists as a dull ache spread through his chest.

His gaze darkened, bit by bit.

’No one had any faith in him.’

’Not even Shen Yue wanted him to win.’

’But.’

’So what?’

’He had won this.’

’Even if she was unwilling, he was still going to be her man.’

He was already prepared for Shen Yue to back out and had a plan to deal with it.

’This opportunity was one he, Huang Ziyue, was determined to seize!’

Ye Lüqi also said:

"That’s right. If you’re not willing, no one can force you!"

Lan Cangyue added, "Exactly! You can choose who you like, who you want! If anyone dares to disrespect your wishes, I’ll beat them until they’re crawling on the floor!"

But to everyone’s surprise...

"Who said I’m not willing? A win is a win, and a loss is a loss. He won fair and square for all to see. I, Shen Yue, don’t play dirty!"

With that, she looked at Huang Ziyue, her chin held high.

"It’s you. You big ice cube!"

Huang Ziyue couldn’t believe his ears. The ice in his eyes seemed to freeze solid in that instant.

’She didn’t go back on her word?’

’She chose him?’

On that face, perennially as cold as frost, a look of shock he couldn’t control flickered into existence.

In the moonlight, the man’s long shadow seemed to tremble slightly, revealing the turmoil within him.

The other four were also taken by surprise, as if a basin of cold water had been dumped on them.

’Shen Yue actually didn’t back out! But they could clearly sense she didn’t like this Flood Dragon, that she didn’t want him to win!’

For some reason, when Shen Yue met Huang Ziyue’s gaze just then, she didn’t feel like regretting her decision.

’So what if he’s a little older and a little colder!’

’She, Shen Yue, was not one to turn back once she’d made a move. Since fate had willed it so, letting this man fall into her hands, she might as well give it a try.’

Huang Ziyue stood rooted to the spot, momentarily unable to react.

His eyes saw only Shen Yue’s beautiful silhouette standing before the door, the moonlit breeze stirring her slightly curled long hair.

This slender, small person grew infinitely large in his eyes, seemingly glowing with a soft light.

She spoke:

"What are you standing there in a daze for? Come in with me."

Huang Ziyue immediately snapped back to his senses.

In front of the others, he followed her into the house with long strides.
