A second chance with my billionaire husband

Chapter 1746 - 391: Saving Face Means Courting Death

Tian Yan quickly stepped in to smooth things over: "Miss Yi, don’t scare Lan Bing, she’s timid and can’t handle being frightened."

Before Yi Peilan could reply, she immediately said, "It’s not easy for us all to come together today, why don’t I suggest we play a game?"

However, she directed her words at Yun Ya.

"First, I’ve just returned to the country and am not familiar with everyone, so it’s a good opportunity to get to know each other better. Second, it’s my birthday today, and we’re all young people, so why not spice things up, what do you think?"

"That’s a good idea, but I’m not sure what game Miss Tian wants to play?"

Yi Peilan curved her lips, "Playing games, huh? Sounds interesting."

Miss Yin secretly fell to the back, hiding herself, as a trace of resentment flashed in her lowered eyes. She certainly knew about her father’s incident, which is why she pretended nothing happened to come to this party, hoping to find contacts to help rescue her father. Who knew Yi Peilan would bluntly mention it in front of so many people, completely stripping away her dignity.

Someone next to her nudged her, and she lifted her head slightly, "Miss Zhao?"

Miss Zhao hummed softly, casting a disdainful glance at Yi Peilan, "Some people are just so shameless."

She kept her voice low, so only they could hear.

Even though Miss Yin thought so too, she couldn’t say it out loud. After all, she had a bit more emotional intelligence than Miss Zhao.

"Hey, why don’t we find an opportunity to teach her a lesson? Otherwise, she’ll still think she’s some sort of princess."

Miss Yin pressed her lips together but didn’t dare to agree easily. Although she wanted to do it, actions depended on location and status; otherwise, it would be courting disaster.

"Are you mute? Or are you scared?"

"What do you want to do?"

Miss Zhao curled her lips, a coldness flashing in her eyes, "Just wait and see."

"This way, we can go to the garden, which has been booked for tonight, and everyone can play freely."

The group moved to the garden, where lanterns hung on the treetops, creating a charming, romantic, and colorful atmosphere.

"We’ll play a game of Truth or Dare. I have a deck of cards here. Everyone will draw a card, and whoever draws the king has to choose between truth or dare..." Tian Yan pulled out a deck of cards and said with a smile.

"This game is fun, but what if you’re asked a question you don’t want to answer...?" This game is popular among young people, but it usually creates a lot of awkwardness...

It satisfies certain private desires to pry into others’ secrets and see others make a fool of themselves.

"Then you can choose not to participate, but I’ll prepare the questions in advance, and they will definitely be within an acceptable range. The choice is yours; it’s just a game for entertainment."

Many people were reassured, "That’s good, we trust Miss Tian...."

"Miss Ji, what do you think?" Tian Yan asked with a smile.

Yun Ya replied with a smile, "I’ll sit this one out...."

"Does Miss Ji look down on us? Do you think playing games with us is beneath you?" someone said.

Exactly! Yun Ya curled her lips, lifted her gaze, and looked at the girl who spoke. The other’s eyes were pierced by Yun Ya’s clear and sharp eyes, leaving her momentarily dazed. When she snapped back, she immediately lowered her head, her heartbeat slightly accelerated, feeling utterly dumbfounded.

"I’m always a bit reserved, sorry for spoiling your fun, but if you say I look down on you, that’s really unfair." Yun Ya shook her head and sighed.

Tian Yan said, "Miss Ji is the kindest person, how could she ever look down on us? Don’t talk nonsense. I heard Miss Ji recently recovered from a serious illness, so it’s understandable if she’s not in high spirits. How about this, you just play once, okay?"

Once or twice but not thrice, Tian Yan is the main character of today’s party, and her face still needs to be saved. Although Yun Ya was already quite tired of acting along with this group of little princesses and seasoned players, her smile was a mask. She laughed flawlessly, never letting anyone understand her temperament.

"I’ll do as Miss Tian says."

Tian Yan smiled.

Yi Peilan glanced at Tian Yan a few more times and then at Yun Ya, walked over to her, and asked in a low voice, "Are you alright?"

The girl’s profile shimmered like jade in the dark night, her eyelashes thick and fine. Gazing at her from that angle truly had a kind of stunning, tranquil beauty, as if time had paused.

Yun Ya calmly smoothed her dress, her gentle voice particularly captivating, "I’m fine."

Mo Pianpian said to Shangguan Qing with a laugh, "Truth or Dare, huh? It’s my favorite game. At our class reunions, every time we played this, I was always the one who lost the most, and once I even had to playfully pretend to stage a traffic accident...."
