Time ticked by, and the host, glancing at the clock, kindly reminded, "Idiom Solitaire can't stop. Sir, you have 30 seconds left. The countdown begins now."
This was a game, but games had rules and time limits.
With the time pressure and the attention of the entire venue focused on him, Qi Mo truly couldn't recall anything.
As a result, the championship for Idiom Solitaire went to Fu Si Ye once again.
As the host announced that their group had won another championship, Mu Yin Yin clearly saw a glint of coldness and disdain in Fu Si Ye's eyes.
She understood the ridiculous possessiveness and competitive spirit between men.
Apart from that, Fu Si Ye wasn't doing it for her.
They were invited to rest aside while others continued the competition, as there were still a third-place and a runner-up to be decided.
"You've already won four championships, shouldn't you be happy?"
As they walked to their seats to rest, Fu Si Ye didn't see the expected smile on Mu Yin Yin's face, and he couldn't help but frown.
Mu Yin Yin didn't want to engage with him, mainly because of his unpleasant tone and her desire to avoid an argument.
This, however, only made Fu Si Ye more displeased. He sneered and looked at Mu Yin Yin, "Is it because I made your new flame lose?"
During the Idiom Solitaire game, he had directly set aside her and Qi Mo for comparison. Men valued their pride, and losing in front of so many people was indeed a great loss of face for Qi Mo.
After much thought, this was the only reason he could think of for Mu Yin Yin not showing any joy at winning.
However, after his words, Mu Yin Yin's expression became even more somber, and she stared coldly at Fu Si Ye.
"I don't understand why you would think that."
"Don't you want to win the championship? But I was competing with your new flame just now. After your new flame lost, you've had a dark expression."
Fu Si Ye's lips were cold but he pointed it out clearly.
"No," Mu Yin Yin directly denied.
Fu Si Ye, however, laughed disbelievingly, "Even a three-year-old wouldn't believe what you're saying."
"Are you a three-year-old?"
Mu Yin Yin shot back, but this only made Fu Si Ye's expression darker and more unpleasant.
Seeing Fu Si Ye's sulky face, Mu Yin Yin spoke calmly, dismissively, "You said even a three-year-old wouldn't believe it, so aren't you a three-year-old then?"
Her unhappiness stemmed from the thought that Fu Si Ye would care so much about her and protect her image in front of everyone for the sake of some ridiculous male pride and possessiveness.
But in reality, three years of marriage hadn't warmed his heart, and it had ultimately led to a divorce agreement from him.
Especially now that they were entangled again for the sake of profit, how could she not feel angry and find it ridiculous?
"Mu Yin Yin, I don't want to argue with you," Fu Si Ye's voice was stern, his brows tightly furrowed.
Mu Yin Yin immediately scoffed, "If you don't want to argue with me, do you think I want to argue with you? Besides, what does my mood have to do with you?"
If there was no connection, why ask such unnecessary questions?
"You'd better pray we have better luck in the next game!"
With that, Mu Yin Yin directly focused on her phone.
She didn't have a computer now to investigate Lu Shan further. She had also pushed Lu Shan's information to the group she had created.
However, there had been no reply yet.
Just as she was about to close her phone, a message suddenly popped up in the group:
— Little Deer: [Sister Yin, if you can't find out, we're even more powerless! (Crying)]
Mu Yin Yin quickly edited a message:
— Mu Yin Yin: [This is some information that someone else found. I can't check it right now. You check it first, and if you still can't find anything, then we'll talk.]
— Little Deer: [Ok.]
"She's sending messages when she's right here. Is she that reluctant to leave?" Fu Si Ye noticed Mu Yin Yin's fingers flying across the phone screen, and he let out a cold laugh.
However, he didn't read the content.
Mu Yin Yin didn't even bother to look up, "Even if I'm reluctant, isn't that my business?"
"Mr. Fu, I've noticed you've been paying more attention to me since the divorce. Tsk! You wouldn't be realizing how good I am and want to get back together to have babies, would you?"
Fu Si Ye's expression instantly darkened. The next moment, he let out a cold sneer and said, "Ridiculous."
After speaking, he no longer looked at Mu Yin Yin and directly shifted his gaze.
Mu Yin Yin curled her lips, too lazy to bother with him anymore. Some things were best left unsaid; she just didn't want this man to pester her anymore, and she hoped he truly wouldn't.
The final segment was a lucky draw.
Mu Yin Yin and Fu Si Ye were among the last few to participate. The preceding participants hadn't won any lucky prizes.
Qi Mo and Amy were just ahead of them, and they immediately won first prize.
The few teams after them, except for Mu Yin Yin and Fu Si Ye, were praying.
But they didn't get any lucky prizes.
They didn't even win third prize.
Until Mu Yin Yin and Fu Si Ye approached the prize box—
Fu Si Ye didn't say anything, but he nodded towards Mu Yin Yin.
After glancing at him, Mu Yin Yin, without any politeness, drew a ball from the box.
As everyone watched them intently, Mu Yin Yin revealed the front of the ball, and the entire venue erupted in exclamations:
"Lucky prize, it's the lucky prize!"
"They're the champions! Damn! What kind of divine luck is this? It's insane!"
"I just checked them both. This is their first time attending the Elysian Feast this year, and they are from..."
"Are you done talking?"
Qi Mo let out a cold reprimand, and his sharp gaze immediately forced back the man who was about to reveal Mu Yin Yin and Fu Si Ye's identities.
However, someone immediately echoed Qi Mo's sentiment:
"They won their prizes through the normal process. Even if you're not satisfied, the host said there was no pre-arrangement. And you went and checked on them? That's not right."
"Exactly. If this gets out, people will think someone at the Elysian Feast is jealous and unbalanced. If rumors spread, wouldn't that become a problem for the Elysian Feast?"
...
The host, of course, couldn't let the scene continue to revolve around Mu Yin Yin and Fu Si Ye and remain in a stalemate.
"Congratulations on winning the first prize and the lucky prize at this Elysian Feast. The Elysian Feast will redeem your prizes accordingly."
Following this, staff members came forward to take photos of Mu Yin Yin and Fu Si Ye.
Fu Si Ye disliked being photographed.
Especially by strangers without his consent.
Fu Si Ye's brows immediately furrowed deeply.
Seeing his expression turn sour, the host quickly stepped forward to explain, "Sir, please don't misunderstand. We arranged for staff to take your photos for your convenience when accessing various consumption venues under the Suka Hotel in the future."
Fu Si Ye's brows deepened, clearly showing his unwillingness.
