I Treat You as My Sister, But You Want to be My Wife?!
Chapter 627: Making a Bet

Chapter 627: Chapter 627: Making a Bet

Shen Dong’s bet wasn’t deeply scrutinized for its significance. Perhaps it was just seen as a little amusement for the wealthy. However, since it was meant to be an entertainment for the wealthy, he also had to treat it seriously. If it was going to be a bet, it couldn’t involve trivial tasks. Since it was Mr. Shen who had proposed the bet, he was definitely going to make it hard for him.

Lin Qi had a sly look in her eyes. If he couldn’t do it when the time came, he would have to pay a price. She thought about what kind of price Mr. Shen could pay, but no matter how much she pondered, she couldn’t think of anything that would truly torment Shen Dong. She felt a bit dejected—couldn’t she come up with a way to torment him?

As Lin Qi was thinking this, she felt very troubled and kept pondering deeply. Shen Dong didn’t know what Lin Qi was thinking about and found it quite interesting. Since coming here, she hadn’t mentioned whether to bet or not and just kept staring blankly.

Any unknowing person would think she was faced with some tough century-old problem. If she didn’t want to bet, it was okay; it was just to give this girl a little confidence, which could also be conveyed through other means.

It wasn’t that confidence could only be given through this method. He began contemplating using other methods. Just at this moment, Lin Qi, fearing that Shen Dong would be impatient and unwilling to continue with the bet, felt somewhat dejected and quickly brought up the topic.

"I’ll bet, but what’s in it for me? If there’s nothing appealing, then forget it. I’m someone who values benefits very much. If we are to bet, you need to show some sincerity. Mr. Shen, you can’t just offer an empty promise and say let’s bet.

What should we bet on? We need to make a big deal. Do you agree? If you do, I’m willing to take this bet with you," Lin Qi said with a smile.

That was when Shen Dong suddenly realized. He said to himself that Lin Qi had been pondering something all this time. It turns out she was thinking about how to trap him. Fine, fine. He hadn’t realized this at first, but now that he did, he felt that this girl was really setting him up.

Why hadn’t he noticed before? Never mind, it’s just a bet. He wouldn’t lose anyway. He might as well give her the privilege to see what she wanted. After all, he could afford anything she asked for. He nodded generously and said:

"Alright, just tell me what you want, I can satisfy your request. So, you decide the stakes of the bet."

Lin Qi smiled as well, surprised that he agreed so readily. If he agreed to it, then he shouldn’t blame her for setting a trap. She then said, "I want a condition. If I win this bet, you have to do one thing for me, no matter what, you must do as I say.

But if I lose the bet, I will do as you say. How about that? It seems fair for both of us." Lin Qi thought she was quite clever to come up with the terms of the bet early on, but Shen Dong just found it amusing.

However, Shen Dong didn’t like this arrangement, so he said, "Alright, I agree to the bet, but if I win, I don’t want anything. You have to promise me one condition—I want you to work for me for one year without salary. How about that? Can you agree to that? You wouldn’t be paid, and all your work would be for me." After saying this, he looked at Lin Qi.

To see if she agreed. However, Lin Qo’s face turned completely when he heard this, and he yelled, "Damn, so this is what capitalists are like! Even now, you’re still trying to exploit me. I already owe you so much money. If I don’t pay you back soon, and instead work for you for free for a year,

When will I ever clear my debt? You’re not planning to keep me till I’m old and prevent me from ever making big money, are you? That can’t be right, no way. I won’t do it, working for free for a year is too risky for me. I don’t have the money to keep up with you."

Lin Qi originally wanted to know what the bet involved, but when she saw how serious it was, she immediately shook her head like a rattle, unwilling to participate in such high stakes. Sooner or later, she would lose everything—an essential trait of capitalists.

She couldn’t just fall into this trap, careful not to end up sold without even realizing it. Shen Dong, amused by Lin Qo’s reaction, thought good. When she was scheming against him, why didn’t she think of this? Now, just a small counterattack from him had provoked such a big reaction. She indeed couldn’t bear to lose at all.

Seeing Lin Qi’s reaction, Shen Dong found it rather funny and thought he might as well drop it. This girl was way too cunning compared to him. If he kept on speaking, he might be seen as the villain.

It was best to let this bet slide. He felt this girl surely had a bright future, so why bother with the bet? He said cheerfully:

"Just kidding! Let’s skip the bet. Let’s go pick some clothes. Time has flown by today; it’s almost evening. I’ll take you to the bar later to see what kind of job you’ll have so you can get familiar with it early. Plus, there are some training sessions you need to attend. Let’s choose something now; see what you like."

After saying this, Shen Dong took Lin Qi inside to a luxury store where the clothes were indeed beautiful. Lin Qo’s eyes were glued to the clothes; she couldn’t even move. She hadn’t realized such expensive clothes could be so attractive, their soft plush fabric being utterly irresistible.

If she had gone in earlier, she definitely would have picked up a piece to try without a second thought. But she had no money. No wonder women can’t resist beautiful clothes, regardless of their financial status. She would likely have been mesmerized and spent months’ of salary on them.

Fortunately, she was in there now, and she had a boss who was willing to foot the bill. However, Lin Qi soon snapped out of it because she realized Shen Dong was also choosing clothes, obviously picking them out for her. So, she shouldn’t expect too much—she didn’t hope that this man could pick anything good.
