Faced with Wendy's frankness, Gavin didn't know whether he should be distressed or appreciate her loveliness.

A maid of honor standing by held Wendy's shoulder. "What does it matter if you don't know how to play? Gavin is skillful at it! You will master it in ten minutes if he teaches you!"

Wendy looked at Gavin doubtfully. "Really?"

Well." There was a smile by Gavin's elegant lips. "I have a magic touch."

The maid was smart and said cooperatively, "Then it's settled. Gavin is responsible for Wendy and we are ready to get started!"

Wendy moved to Gavin's side and took out her phone to ask Gavin to download the app for her.

She tried to control it but failed. She asked curiously, "Gavin, how many people have you taught before?"

Gavin's fingers flexibly tapped on the screen. While they waited for the app to download, he lifted his head and looked at Wendy with a mysterious smile. "Why do you ask?"

Wendy felt embarrassed inside but she still looked directly into Gavin's eyes. "I just wonder if I'll ever run into an apprentice sister..."

Gavin narrowed his eyes and looked at Wendy for quite a while. Then his smile became deep. "Nope. You're my first apprentice and the last, which means you are the only one."

"..." Wendy was left in a blank and couldn't say anything for quite a while.

You are the only one.

This sentence sounded so intimate.

"...

While he admired Wendy's flustered look, Gavin felt extremely happy. After a while, he decided to let Wendy relax. "Don't think too much. From the people I know, you're the only one who doesn't know how to play such an easy game. I will have no chance to take another apprentice."

"..." So that was the truth.

All the strangeness in Wendy's heart suddenly disappeared. She calmly looked at Gavin and said, "You are very disappointed, right?"

Gavin stared at Wendy deeply for quite a while. "I don't have to be disappointed now that you are the only apprentice."

Gavin's words always sounded like that. It seemed to be praising you when you heard them at first, but in fact, it was deep and full of traps.

Wendy didn't bother to think about the traps in Gavin's sentence. She just rolled her eyes at him.

Hmm, she wouldn't be so easily cheated again!

Gavin's smile became weak. Then he passed the phone back to Wendy. "The app is ready."

Wendy took over the phone. She glanced a bit and found that everyone was looking at her in a strange way.

She took a look at herself and then at Gavin. She realized that they sat very close and looked... very intimate.

Wendy hastily sat still but their smile was even more symbolic, as if her last action was to try to cover something up.

Well, she had completely fallen in the trap and had no way to explain.

Gavin opened a playing room. Others could input the number of the room to get in.

Wendy saw Gavin's movements. She suddenly said without thinking, "Why does it feel so vicious?"

"Ha!" A bridesmaid added to Wendy's words with a certain meaning, "It feels like that! Wendy, do you mean that?"

"Eh, no..."

Wendy wanted to explain. But before she could, they were already laughing it out.

Their bold laughter, made Wendy's face flush even more and look very awkward-she really wasn't that complicated.

When the laughter subsided, the girl who had entertained them said seriously, "I mean it's like a group scuffle. What are you thinking about? Why does Wendy look so troubled?"

The girl looked too pure and innocent so that all of them took back their smiles and told Wendy that they hadn't thought as deeply as she did.

"..." Wendy finally knew how well they could perform.

By then, a best man cleared his throat and said, "Well, Wendy is still young. Don't scare her. Gavin, we'll get started after you tell Wendy the rules.

Gavin always described plans on the meeting for the shareholders so he had formed the habit of explaining things in a brief and clear way. Wendy understood most of it after hearing his explanation once.

Then the game began.

To take care of Wendy who was new in the game, they played a few rounds as practice. Gavin explained to Wendy while playing. Wendy was smart and quickly got familiar with the rules of the game.

But it didn't mean she wouldn't become an idiot in the game.

From the fifth round onwards, the one who lost had to be punished.

Just like how the bridesmaid said, Gavin was a master of the game. If he wanted, he could control the one who would win or lose.

But that day, Gavin wasn't in the mood to tease anyone. He only wanted to make sure that Wendy wouldn't lose.

The second master on the table was Freya. After two rounds, she observed Gavin's intention and gave the bridesmaids a look.

Those bridesmaids had been friends with Freya for many years and instantly understood her meaning. They all played against Wendy together.

"I have twenty-eight 'five'!"

"Twenty-nine 'five'!"

Then it was Gavin's turn to claim his number.

Gavin glanced at everyone on the table and understood it was a trap, after they claimed such big numbers. If he didn't lose, Wendy would be the one to lose.

Wendy was no opponent to them, so he should lose instead.

"Thirty-five 'five'!" Gavin calmly said.

Wendy didn't notice that Gavin was doing it on purpose so she stared at him. "Gavin, why are you calling such a big number? It's impossible!"

"If you think it's impossible, you can open mine!" Gavin's tone sounded pretty aggressive.

"Okay!" Wendy was the first to show his phone and said in the same aggressive tone, "I have only three 'five'!"

"Hahaha..." Freya smiled meaningfully and showed everyone her screen. Then she leaned over to ask Chris, "Honey, have you got the total number?"

Chris took a look at the phone and said, "There are thirty 'five' in total."

Wendy patted her chest and looked at Gavin happily. "It's lucky that you called blindly. If you call thirty, the one behind me will open, right?"

A young and beautiful bridesmaid hummed and said, "Of course, it definitely will be you. But, this bad luck..." She wanted to say that Gavin blocked it for Wendy. But Gavin's sharp cold eyes arrived before she could say it aloud. She just altered, "It fell on Gavin's head!"

Freya looked at Gavin with much expectation, "Little Gavin, name your pick, Truth or Dare?"

Gavin fearlessly smiled, "If I choose Truth... I know what you will ask, but I'm not afraid-I choose Dare!"

"You think you'll be safe by choosing Dare?" Freya discussed with everyone else and announced the Dare smilingly, "Kiss the one who sits closest to you!"

At the moment, there were two people who sat closest to Gavin.

One was another best man who sat by his right, the other was Wendy sitting at his left.

Freya was really evil, trying to push him to this situation but she still gave him the chance to choose. But in fact the chance was a great dilemma for him-

If Gavin chose the best man, once he kissed him, he would be laughed at by them for a whole year.

If he chose Wendy, not only that table, the whole hall would cheer about it.

But Gavin was the one who had solved so many crises in the group with Brian. Such a question wasn't a difficulty to him.

Gavin smiled and leaned over to look at Wendy, "I choose Wendy as you wish."

It was apparent that none of them had expected Gavin to be so direct. They were all shocked. After they realized what had happened, they started wooing and the eyes of the guests in the surrounding tables were attracted.

Chris was the only one who had little expectation about the following scene.

Chris had worked with Gavin for quite a few times. He knew it wasn't a big deal to him. Gavin surely had a good at hand.

While they cheered, the unreasonably involved Wendy was shocked.

"Choosing me? Kissing me?

"fuck! Did he get my permission?"

"Wait a minute!" Wendy hastily tried to stop the game, "It's Gavin who is supposed to be punished. Why am I involved?"

"I didn't get you involved on purpose." Freya pretended to be sincere, "We said the one sitting closest to Gavin. You should blame your bad luck."

Wendy couldn't refute this. She widened her eyes and looked at Gavin, asking him if he really had to do that.

Gavin looked innocent and shrugged. "That's the rule of the game. I have no way out, either."

Wendy asked in a lower voice, "Why don't you choose the best man by the other side. That would be more intriguing, wouldn't it?"

"Um-" Gavin kept silence for a while. "Among you two, I'm more interested in you."

"..." It was difficult for Wendy to smile then. "Do I have to say thank you?"

"There's no need." Gavin stared at Wendy meaningfully. "This is a good chance to take advantage of you. I just want to grasp the chance. You don't have to be too polite with me."

Wendy shouted angrily, "Gavin!"

Right after the shout, her left hand was held by Gavin's hands.

Gavin palm was big with five clean and slim fingers. It was a little warm, which somehow gave her a sense of safety when it covered hers.

Wendy was completely shocked and her heart was beating wildly. She couldn't register the expressions of the others or any sounds. Gavin was the only one left in her eyes.

Under everyone's attention, Gavin lowered his head and kissed the back of Wendy's hand.

Then, he freed Wendy's hand without further emotions and there was a mysterious smile by his lips.

"Gavin, that's it?" Freya asked unbelievably.

"I did what you asked me to." Gavin showed his palms pleading innocence. "You asked me to kiss the one who sat the closest to me but you didn't name the specific spot."

Freya was furious and scolded in a low voice, "What are you doing? I am creating a chance for you!"

Gavin smiled. "I know."

Freya became mad. "Then why don't you make good use of it?"

Gavin didn't say anything.

He wanted to make good use of that chance too, but... he didn't want to get Wendy's kiss in such devious way.

Wendy was different from the girls he had met at entertainment venues. A kiss might mean nothing to those girls, but for Wendy, it might mean affection and love.

Wendy didn't like him, let alone love him.

And he couldn't treat the girl he liked disrespectfully.
