Madam Is A Sensational Figure In The City Chapter 287

'I'd definitely lose if I bet on Second Young Mistress Huo.'
The people present were obviously going to choose to bet on Mrs. Wang's victory.
Her husband had brought her there this time for the sake of getting closer to the wives of wealthy men.
However, at the end of the day, Huo Xishen was the boss of them all and even if Yan Jinyi was popular, she was still Huo Xishen's wife.
After gritting her teeth, Mrs. Zhou decisively chose Yan Jinyi.
Yan Jinyi rubbed her chin with one hand while nodding.
'Not bad, you've got good judgement.'
'It's a pity that that watch worth hundreds of thousands of yuan won't belong to her anymore.'
As expected, the other ladies all chose Mrs. Wang.
"Mrs. Wang, what are you planning to use as a stake?"
Mrs. Wang smiled a little smugly and said, "I'll use the apartment that my husband gave me yesterday as a stake."
'Wow she used an apartment as a stake. Indeed, the rich are willful.'
Yan Jinyi could already imagine the scene of herself moving into that apartment.
'I like such bets. I'll do this more often in the future.'
At last, it was finally Yan Jinyi's turn to place her bet.
The crowd all turned their attention to Yan Jinyi, but Yan Jinyi looked at Huo Xishen instead.
She smiled and asked in a clear and crisp voice, "Hubby, what do you think I should place as my bet?"
Hearing that she had addressed him as her husband, Huo Xishen's eyes became gloomy and his lips curled up slightly into a smirk. "I'll bet on my wife's behalf. Two percent of the shares of TG Entertainment."
After he finished speaking, everyone fell silent.

'Is Mr. Huo out of his mind? TG Entertainment is the most profitable branch of the Huo Group that generates the highest revenue. For ordinary people, two percent of the company's shares was worth a staggering amount of money!'
After hearing what he said, the other businessmen who were present, all had gleaming eyes and at the same time, they secretly regretted not making their wives learn archery earlier.
Mr. Wang was rather pleased and when he imagined himself obtaining two percent of the shares of TG Entertainment, he was overwhelmed with excitement.
He adored his newlywed wife even more.
'I've really married a treasure!'
The wives of the other rich men began to be jealous again.
On one hand, they were jealous of Yan Jinyi because Huo Xishen was willing to use two percent of TG Entertainment's shares as a stake despite knowing that she was definitely going to lose.
On the other hand, they were jealous of Mrs. Wang because they thought that she would definitely gain the favor of Mr. Wang after this. Her relatives might even praise her endlessly.
Although the wives of rich men seemed to be living a glamorous life on the surface, they actually had to be extremely careful and cautious when they were at home.
Since they did not have a career of their own, they would end up in a divorce if they angered the head of the household.
There would only be an exception if they were born to wealthy families in the first place.
"Since we've all placed our bets, should we begin now?" Mrs. Li asked smilingly.
She was already eager to see Yan Jinyi lose.
Mrs. Wang put on the wrist guard and when she saw that Yan Jinyi was not moving, she couldn't help but remind, "Mrs. Huo, you should wear your wrist guard, the bow is quite heavy."

Yan Jingyi stretched and said, "Nah, those people in costume dramas don't wear wrist guards!"
'How can you compare yourself to people in costume dramas?'
Mrs. Wang sneered in her head. 'She's really just a pretty face. She's going to embarrass Mr. Huo this time.'
"Mrs. Huo, do you have to practice a little before we start?"
"Well, the grip gets better with practice."
'You've overestimated yourself.'
Mrs. Wang could already see herself winning.
'Soon, Mr. Huo will find out how useless you are.'
Whoosh!
The first to shoot an arrow was Madam Wang, who got a good score of eight points on her first arrow.
Everyone started applauding.
"Good job, as expected of Mrs. Wang!"
"Second Young Mistress Huo, press on. You don't have to feel pressurized actually. After all, Mrs. Wang is professionally trained."

I took his hand and gasped at the delicious shockwaves traveling up my arm. He pulled me closer to him, so I was standing in between his legs. I wasn't sure what to say, so I ran my fingers through his hair, noticing for the first time the bits of red streaked through the dark brown, and smiled when he growled in delight. He leaned his forehead down, so it was resting on my belly and wrapped his arms around my back. "We should talk about this." He whispered with his head still on my stomach. I nearly didn't hear him. I was too focused on the sparks tingling through my arms as I caressed his back and continued my gentle assault through his hair."Ok. What should we talk about?" He took a deep breath and I watched as his shoulders slumped."I'll understand if you reject me. No one wants a defective mate."Cover made by @ViaAlyssaNicole
