CHAPTER 837: CHAPTER 930: AS GENTLE AS A KITTEN

When Tong Xi was a child, Tong Jinnian also taught her to play chess, but Tong Xi’s chess skills... hmm, using Tong Jinnian’s words, she’s a terrible chess player.

But now, Tong Xi looks at Yunqing’s moves... tsk tsk, it’s fraught with danger! If it goes on like this, how will it work? She would definitely lose terribly!

Tong Xi quickly glanced at Xu Bing, seeking her help.

But Xu Bing just shook her head helplessly.

Now, it’s only a matter of taking one step at a time!

As time passed bit by bit, unexpectedly, Yunqing, who was originally at a disadvantage, began to turn things around...

The expression on Yunqing’s face remained as usual, so focused, so earnest, not discouraged or flustered when in a slump, and now that the situation is reversed, no trace of smugness showed.

This game, it really took a long time, and when it finally ended, Yunqing... still lost, but Tong Jinnian’s eyes were full of admiration.

"Uncle, I lost!"

Originally, Tong Xi still held a glimmer of hope in her heart that Yunqing could turn the tables and pull off a miraculous reversal, but upon hearing Yunqing’s words, her heart instantly felt cold and disappointed.

Oh dear... really lost!

What to do now?

Xu Bing was about to speak when she heard Tong Jinnian coldly say, "Hmm, take care, I won’t see you out!"

Yunqing smiled faintly.

"Then, Uncle, I’ll come back another day to seek advice!"

Turning around, Yunqing said to Xu Bing, "Goodbye, Auntie!"

And his gaze fell on Tong Xi’s face, just a gentle smile, his eyes seeming to signal her, don’t worry...

Yunqing left, and Tong Xi wanted to go downstairs to see him off, but was stopped by Tong Jinnian.

"What, feeling sorry already?"

Tong Xi felt a bit sheepish.

"Dad!"

Tong Jinnian sighed deeply.

"Indeed, daughters aren’t to be kept at home, huh!"

Tong Xi felt a bit embarrassed by what Tong Jinnian said.

"Come here, it’s been a while, let your old dad take a look, have you gotten thinner!"

Tong Xi had no choice but to walk over and sit obediently next to Tong Jinnian, looking like a gentle little kitten. And Tong Jinnian reached out and patted the top of Tong Xi’s head.

"Hmm, looks like you’ve really gotten thinner! Are you eating takeout every day? Tomorrow, I’ll personally cook some dishes for you!"

"Okay!" Tong Xi agreed with a smile, "I’ve been craving for a while, nothing beats dad’s cooking!"

Xu Bing couldn’t help but shake her head.

These father and daughter...

But really, she couldn’t figure out what kind of medicine this guy had in his gourd?

Xu Bing asked, "Why did you just play chess with Yunqing? And say those things? Are you planning to break up the couple? I think Yunqing is a nice kid."

Tong Jinnian snorted, "You’ve only met him once and already think he’s nice? You women, you’re all about appearances! Can a pretty face feed anyone?"

"Dad!" Tong Xi protested, "Is it a crime to be good-looking these days? Yunqing’s parents themselves are good-looking, so that’s genetics!"

Tong Jinnian raised an eyebrow, "Oh, you’ve met his parents?"

Tong Xi: "..."

Oops, accidentally let that slip!

Seeing Tong Xi silent, Tong Jinnian and Xu Bing exchanged a glance, both surprised.

So soon? No wonder she’s away from home all day, already met his parents!

This child!

Tong Jinnian sighed, "You!"

Xu Bing smiled helplessly.

Speaking of meeting Yunqing today, he already said he wanted to marry Tong Xi soon, it seems... he really couldn’t wait!

At this moment, Tong Jinnian said, "Actually, just now I played chess with Yunqing to understand his character. It’s said that chess reveals character, during a game, you can really glimpse a person’s nature. Yunqing is neither arrogant nor impatient, not discouraged or unyielding, with a broad mind. Hmm, not bad!"
