“It’s good enough that you know how to play. Old Chen, come over and place my chessboard here.” After Ou Zhenglin said that, Chen Yi quickly walked forward and set up the chessboard.
“Grandpa, please go first.” Quan Jue took the initiative to hand the black piece to him.
Ou Zhenglin didn’t refuse. He nodded and placed a piece on the chessboard. He wanted to test Quan Jue’s patience with chess.
Quan Jue unhurriedly placed his chess piece down as well. From the beginning to the end, his expression was calm, and even Ou Zhenglin couldn’t read his thoughts.
Ou Zhenglin was even more satisfied. He placed another chess piece down.
Soon, he found some clues.
Quan Jue’s every move was done well. His chess skills were exquisite, and he had actually surpassed him. However, every time Quan Jue was about to win, he would change his strategy and take the initiative to give the victory to Ou Zhenglin, never stealing his limelight.
Ou Zhenglin couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows, feeling more and more satisfied with him.
He even knew to show respect to his elders. This young man was really not bad. It was clear that Jiaojiao’s taste was really good.
On the other side, Chi Jiao came to the study.
Sticking her head into the study, Chi Jiao saw a faint incense burning inside. An old woman in a white Tang suit was standing before a table, painting.
Chi Jiao pushed the door open and shouted happily, “Grandma, I’m back!”
When Liu Ruhua heard this, she hugged Chi Jiao just as she turned around.
“Little imp, you still like to act cute. Look at yourself. When will you grow up?” Liu Ruhua’s voice was very gentle. Her aura was innately gentle. Even though she was old, it was not difficult to tell from her exquisite features that she was a rare beauty when she was young.
“I don’t want to grow up. I want to be Grandma’s baby forever.” After Chi Jiao said that, she pulled Liu Ruhua’s hand and acted spoiled. “Grandma, Grandpa said that you’ve prepared some snacks for me. Where are they?”
“Little glutton, I’ve already prepared them for you way beforehand.” Liu Ruhua raised her hand lovingly and tapped the tip of Chi Jiao’s nose. She pulled her to sit down and pointed at the plates of snacks on the table. “Look, are they all your favorite?”
“Grandma is so nice to me. I like Grandma the most.” After Chi Jiao said that, she sat down with Liu Ruhua to eat some snacks.
“Didn’t you say that you brought someone back? Why haven’t I seen your little boyfriend?” Liu Ruhua asked with a smile as she waved the fan in her hand.
“Grandma wants to see him? Brother Quan is talking to Grandpa now. Shall I bring Grandma over to take a look?” Chi Jiao asked with her cheeks puffed up, filled with pastries.
“There’s no hurry. Let’s talk first. Jiaojiao, Grandma is very worried about you for suddenly finding a boyfriend. You never learned about love. How did you suddenly find someone you like?” Liu Ruhua asked with concern in her eyes.
“When fate arrives, there’s no stopping it. Grandma and Grandpa have such a good relationship, of course you know what it means to be in love with each other.” Chi Jiao hugged Liu Ruhua’s arm. Suddenly, she thought of something and looked up at her. “Grandma, don’t tell me you’re like Daddy, thinking that I’m in a puppy love and want to stop me?”
“Of course not. I’m just worried about you. Are you sure that this boy is the one you’ve been looking for, the one who protected you in your dreams?” Liu Ruhua couldn’t help but feel heartache at the mention of Chi Jiao’s dreams.
Chi Jiao had once treated what happened in her previous life as a dream and told Liu Ruhua about it.
Liu Ruhua knew that in Chi Jiao’s dream, a man had sacrificed his life for her.
