Liu Fuping's Identity Revealed

Perhaps worried she had misheard, Tan Huimin frowned and confirmed again, "You... said what?"

"You bet me away to Qiu Tu?"

Perhaps because he had already said the most crucial part, Zheng Tao no longer had anything to fear. He simply threw down his chopsticks and said recklessly, "Yes. I bet you away to Qiu Tu."

He said, "The two of us made a bet. We bet on whether the New Deputy Minister of the Political Department was him."

"I bet that it wasn't. The stake was for you to go keep him company for two days."

"In the end, I lost."

Hearing Zheng Tao's utterly intolerable words, Tan Huimin's face flushed red with anger, her heavy chest heaving violently.

She glared at Zheng Tao, her beautiful face filled with disappointment. "Zheng Tao! How could you do something like that!"

"I'm your wife! Not some plaything! How could you use me as a wager!"

Seeing Tan Huimin angry, Zheng Tao did not feel even the slightest bit of heartache. Instead, he became even more irritated.

He impatiently interrupted Tan Huimin, his face dark as he said in a low voice, "First of all... I wasn't the one who used you as a wager. Qiu Tu brought it up himself."

"Second, our relationship hasn't been made public in the department, so he doesn't know you're my wife. He only said he wanted to borrow my secretary for two days."

"At a time like that, could I directly refuse and say you weren't suitable as a wager? Wouldn't that expose our relationship?"

"Lastly..."

At that, Zheng Tao paused, then told a lie. "Actually, we can never lose from this bet."

"When he proposed the wager, I had already thought it through. If he lost, then he would have to pay the price.
