Chapter 122: Chapter 122: One-on-One Challenge Chapter 122: Chapter 122: One-on-One Challenge Trouble was coming.

Qiao En had already sensed the danger.

Her sharp gaze swept around, finding the area far from the lawn and the pool, she could not find reinforcements.

“You wretched woman, were you the one who bullied Miss Ruyi just now?”

An upstart with yellow hair leaped out of the crowd, wagging his finger and yelling at Qiao En’s nose.

His arrogance was pronounced, not looking like any good bird.

Qiao En was not afraid; she did not care about such clowns.

The so-called strategy to capture the thief was to capture the king; her eyes turned towards Ding Ruyi.

At this moment, Ding Ruyi had restored her previous smugness.

“What do you want to do?”

Qiao En asked indifferently.

Every wrong has its culprit, every debt its debtor; since Ding Ruyi was not willing to let her off, she could only face the challenge.

“Let’s have a one-on-one challenge.”

Ding Ruyi’s mouth curved up in self-confidence.

“How do you want to challenge?”

Qiao En inquired.

Ding Ruyi had many tricks up her sleeve, aiming at Qiao En meant to completely destroy her.

Qiao En had gone through such situations before; she was not afraid.

“I heard you public relations folks all know how to play rock-paper-scissors? Dare to give it a try?”

At the mention of this, Qiao En laughed, her taut nerves relaxing a bit.

Her myth of rising to fame on rock-paper-scissors was probably unknown to Ding Ruyi.

Qiao En was not arrogant; she would not casually reveal her hand in front of Ding Ruyi.

“Are you sure you want to play rock-paper-scissors? I’m not very good at it. What if I lose?”

She asked, pretending to be ignorant.

Ding Ruyi’s eyes shone with more pride, typical of someone who blossoms with just a little sunshine.

“Lose one round, remove one piece of clothing until no clothes are left. If you lose again, you must run a lap around the villa.”

As soon as Ding Ruyi finished speaking, that group of youngsters began to scream.

“Oye! Sister Ruyi is mighty!”

The stakes set were pretty harsh.

Qiao En’s eyes knitted tightly as she stared at Ding Ruyi.

Why should women trouble each other?

“Second Miss, you are an unmarried young lady of the Ding Family, and I, am now your brother’s fiancée. Whichever of us loses, the Ding family’s face will be lost. Are you sure you want to do this?”

Qiao En reminded with good intentions.

But Ding Ruyi was arrogant, convinced that Qiao En would be the loser.

“Of course.”

Whom Heaven wishes to destroy, it first makes mad.

“Let’s go to the open-air area then.”

Qiao En proposed.

There were more people there, relatively safer.

Qiao En was alone and had to be wary of Ding Ruyi playing dirty.

“Let’s go, to the open-air area.”

Ding Ruyi led the group, moving en masse to the terrace.

On the terrace, it was bustling with people gathering around for a barbecue and drinks.

The yellow-haired youngster was the first onto the terrace, making loud calls and soon a space was cleared for them.

Ding Ruyi rubbed her hands together confidently in front of a rectangle table.

Over the years, she had learned a lot of unsavory things instead of academics.

Rock-paper-scissors was originally used for drinking games; she once secretly dated a small-time delinquent who was very good at it.

Having mastered the basics, the newbies around her were no match for her.

Thus, she began to think of herself as invincible.

“Hurry up. If you’re scared, just admit defeat now. Get on the ground, bark like a dog, and I’ll let you off. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being merciless.”

Ding Ruyi continued to shout.

Qiao En was calm and collected; her opponent wanted to dig a hole for her, unaware the hole was originally hers.

“Let’s start then.”

Qiao En spoke up.

The surroundings quieted down, everyone’s gaze turned towards them.

Some shouted the command, and Qiao En’s and Ding Ruyi’s fingers were seen constantly flipping.

The two seemed to have an unspoken understanding, always coming out with the exact same gesture.

Ding Ruyi appeared determined to win, menacingly threatening Qiao En, “Just wait, I’ll show you.”

She was dressed with many layers, a silk camisole with a vest over it. Losing one round would not put her in an embarrassing position.

Qiao En didn’t respond, her gaze fixed on Ding Ruyi.

She deliberately slowed the pace, intending to drag Ding Ruyi along in the game, but her opponent’s competitiveness was too strong, so Qiao En decided to teach her a lesson.

Suddenly, she showed a different gesture.

The whole place erupted.

“Strip, strip, strip!”

Everyone rhythmically banged on the table, chanting loudly.

Ding Ruyi showed no difficulty in her expression, her morale still high despite the initial setback.

“Give you one round, don’t be smug,” she said.

She took off her vest, to the slight disappointment of the crowd.

“Tsk—”

Someone started to lead the booing.

Qiao En wore a modified Chinese-style cheongsam, and losing just once meant she was halfway to being naked.

“Again.”

Ding Ruyi sat down and quickly got into the zone.

Just like before, Qiao En continued to throw the game, one round, two rounds, three rounds… until they faced off in the tenth round, where she showed a different hand gesture.

This time, the whole place exploded.

“Strip, strip, strip!”

The people shouted even louder.

A hint of embarrassment crept onto Ding Ruyi’s face, she couldn’t believe that Qiao En had won again.

“You… you cheated.”

Ding Ruyi started to accuse Qiao En of cheating.

Qiao En let out a cold laugh, “Which eye of yours saw me cheat, Second Miss? If you can’t take the game, let’s call it quits. Kneel and bark like a dog right now, and we’ll let you off.”

Ding Ruyi’s face turned alternately green and pale, with just a camisole and a half-skirt left on her, removing either would expose her.

Huang Mao whispered something in her ear, and Ding Ruyi’s girdle came undone.

She stood up, and in front of Qiao En, she took off one of her shoes from her feet and then tossed it proudly to Qiao En.

“That doesn’t count.”

Qiao En stated.

Ding Ruyi argued, “The shoe is also part of the clothing.”

She was being unreasonable, and Qiao En quickly taught her a lesson.

The two began another round, and Qiao En made her lose on the first move.

Ding Ruyi lost so badly she was speechless.

Indignant, she took off her other shoe as well.

“Again, I don’t believe your luck will hold out today, I’ll make sure you lose everything,” she declared.

As bold as her words were, her loss was even more devastating.

Similarly, in the restarted game, Qiao En made her lose in the first move again.

“Strip, strip, strip…”

This time, she had no tricks left to play.

Ding Ruyi lost with rage in her eyes, determined to strike back, she steeled her heart and removed her half-skirt.

Black lace shorts were revealed, seductive and captivating.

“Second Miss, you have quite a taste,” someone sneered, teasing her.

Ding Ruyi turned a deaf ear, clenching her fists, “Again—”

Qiao En leaned back in her chair, just casually watching Ding Ruyi.

She wasn’t one to push someone to their ultimate downfall. If Ding Ruyi lost this round, the Ding Family’s face would be completely lost.

“Think carefully, lose again and you’ll be running naked.”

“Cut the talk, it could be you,” retorted Ding Ruyi, her eyes red with urgency.

Qiao En hesitated for a moment, her gaze lifting and sweeping around her.

Ding Ruxin wasn’t present, no one could control a frenzied Ding Ruyi.

“Come on, are you scared?” Ding Ruyi taunted.

Qiao En suddenly grew weary of the nonsense, finding no interest in bickering with a madwoman.

She readied herself, and the game of finger-guessing resumed.

Qiao En had no interest in contending for victory or defeat, but Ding Ruyi only wanted to win.

Those obsessed with winning or losing often can’t win at all.

Unsurprisingly, Ding Ruyi lost again.

“Strip, strip, strip!”

The familiar jeering arose.

Qiao En sat there, watching as panic filled Ding Ruyi’s eyes.

She really began to remove her camisole.

Matching black lace bra appeared, showcasing her attractive figure without reserve.

Some gasped, others took the opportunity to grope her, and still others sneakily took photos with their phones…

The scene became utterly chaotic.

“Let’s stop here!”

Qiao En stood up, she just wanted to leave.

But Ding Ruyi suddenly lunged at her, fiercely grabbing the hem of her dress.

A ripping sound of “ssshhh” was heard, and Qiao En’s cheongsam was torn in two.
