CHAPTER 347: CHAPTER 345 PLAYING WITH THEM [5 UPDATES]

Maya listened to Hudson’s question, secretly glanced at Liam, and guiltily explained, "Well... He accidentally had a conflict with someone."

"Who? Got guts like a leopard, daring to mess with our third master." Lucas saw through Maya’s guilty conscience and deliberately raised his voice.

"A foreigner, he doesn’t know Liam, but Liam won." If they asked further, Maya couldn’t guarantee she wouldn’t accidentally spill the beans.

So she quickly changed the topic and asked, "It’s so late, aren’t you guys going to rest? What are you doing here?"

"It’s rare to have a holiday, so everyone wants to have fun together. Besides, you won so much money this morning, we can’t let you off so easily, and you and third brother probably took care of business this afternoon, right? Us coming now shouldn’t interrupt anything fun," Christopher boasted, like he could win back the money from Maya’s pocket.

Behind the crowd, Liam listened to someone’s analysis, his face looking sour, because he and Maya were indeed interrupted.

So, he coldly threw out a sentence, "You interrupted."

As soon as Liam finished speaking, the living room instantly went quiet, everyone stared at Maya with ill intentions.

Finally, Noah broke the ice, surprisingly asking, "Maya, you’re hurt, how can you play?"

"If you don’t speak, no one will take you for a mute." Henry was unhappy and immediately shot back at Noah.

"Oh! Someone’s upset, huh? If you can’t take it, then don’t come! Spare yourself the heartache." It wasn’t a secret that Henry liked Maya, so Noah didn’t hold back.

Besides, she was trying to break the ice, but with one more sentence, the situation became even more awkward.

"Guys, enough joking around, are we still playing mahjong? I’ll go turn on the mahjong room lights." After Maya spoke, she hopped towards the mahjong room, but inside she began to worry, thinking, if these two start fighting, it’ll ruin the mood.

Behind the crowd, Elia saw Maya in discomfort and immediately caught up with her, saying, "Your leg hurts, rest up! I’ll go do it."

Hearing Elia’s voice, Maya realized she was there too, and even offered help. It was really surprising, like the sun rising from the west.

Since Elia wanted to curry favor with her, Maya gladly accepted it! After all, she couldn’t change anything.

After Elia turned on the lights, she also prepared water and called for snacks, in short, played the role of a little assistant in style.

At the mahjong table, Noah sat down first, grinning slyly and said, "Everyone plays a round, each person a hand, loser leaves the table, substitute players come on, passerby stops for a hand."

"No problem, I’ll do it temporarily. Those not at the table can gamble with me, the catch is, the couple at third brother’s place can’t play one-sided cards, too high-level," Christopher dropped into a money trap.

But Noah disagreed, she said, "Do you lack money? Since none of us are short on money, let’s make it exciting. The loser at the table must answer one question from the winner and one from the other players."

Everyone was thrilled by Noah’s suggestion, this was definitely more exciting than playing for money, gossip is always a hot topic after meals, especially those indescribable ones.

But Maya didn’t dare respond, hearing Noah’s tone, she seemed like an expert, confident in beating her, and this game was obviously custom-made for Henry, to tease her and make Henry uncomfortable.

So, she quickly put on a smiling face and said, "You guys play, my foot hurts, I’ll go rest."

Christopher immediately pinned Maya to the mahjong table, saying, "Sweetheart, play a couple of rounds before leaving, going around won’t hurt your brain." Actually, he had prepared lots of exciting questions to ask Maya, like how she got Liam, this iceberg.

"Sister-in-law, you won so much money this morning, you gotta give us a chance to win some back, right? Otherwise, where’s our dignity?" Hudson also joined in the coaxing.

Maya sat at the mahjong table, quite stuck, if she knew there’d be tonight’s event this morning, she’d never have won their money.

Seeing everyone’s unwillingness to let her go, Maya felt they had a bunch of tricky questions prepared for her, so she quickly turned around, sending a pleading look to Liam, saying, "Third brother, my foot hurts."

Liam looked at the girl’s pleading, gently rubbing her head, "Play a couple of rounds with them, it’s okay."

But this time, Liam wasn’t helping her either, so Maya angrily rolled her eyes at him, showing her dissatisfaction, thinking, how could he side with Noah and Christopher to trick her? It seems she can only rely on her wits, must fight to the bitter end, defeat all opponents here, then she can escape this calamity.

But when she saw Xavier’s wicked smile at the corner of his mouth, she felt dizzy; she couldn’t handle this guy, now she just hoped he wouldn’t get on the field.

The mahjong game officially began, in the first round, players are Maya, Noah, Elia, and Christopher, 3 girls 1 boy, Christopher felt very comfortable, he didn’t expect such good treatment to meet him.

At the mahjong table, Maya was extremely cautious, even when everyone played the first tile, she didn’t slack off, mentally noting it immediately.

Just after starting the first round, Maya was ready to win, thinking, this round should be able to dodge.

But she didn’t notice Noah’s little actions under the table, she nudged Elia’s foot twice, signaling she needed a pair of 2s, Elia wasn’t dumb, catching Noah’s cue, she pretended to talk to herself, "This hand is difficult, should I play dots or lines?"

Then, Noah nudged her three more times, indicating she wanted lines.

Thus, Elia immediately threw out a 2 line, saying, "I better play lines!"

Once Elia tossed her tile, Noah slammed her hand down announcing her win.

Elia, still putting on an act, picked up a tile from the table saying, "Change one, change one."

"Elia, once a tile hits the table, you can’t pick it up, that’s the basic rule." Christopher couldn’t wait for Maya to lose, how could he let Elia change her mind.

Suddenly, Maya’s smile froze, thinking, could it be this unlucky? Losing the first round means facing Noah’s question next, without thinking, she already knows what Noah wants to ask.

Sure enough, Noah looked at Maya opposite her, got straight to the point, unabashedly asking, "Maya, when did you start liking Liam? When was your first time?"

These two questions were lethal to Henry, making his heart bleed!

At the same time, Liam was also quite expectant, today he asked Maya several times if she cared about him, but she evaded every time, so he was looking forward to Maya’s answer.

He had already seen through Noah’s little schemes, so he didn’t help Maya earlier but let her stay and play mahjong.

Because he was more concerned about this issue than anyone, does Maya like him? He wants to hear her say it herself.
