"Of course!"
Ye Zhuoxuan heard about the ga, and his heart was already itching, not to ntion that he had actively suggested playing.
He didn’t have many hobbies in this life, except for his passion for chess. His favorite thing was to play chess with others.
"Just as Xianxian brought the chessboard, why don’t we play here?"
Ye Xian: "..." Do I look like I coincidentally brought it?
"Okay."
"CEO..."
Ye Xian set up the chessboard, silently sat next to the man, and lowered her voice, "Don’t bla for not warning you, my dad won the city-level Go championship, be careful not to get bullied to tears later."
Bo Tingshen gave her a side glance without showing any emotion, "You have so little faith in ?"
Ye Xian nodded.
Although he was excellent, her dad’s chess skills were genuinely formidable, even her elder brother couldn’t win against him.
To cater to her mom’s preferences, all it took was so art appreciation howork, but mastering chess wasn’t sothing you could achieve overnight.
Bo Tingshen: "So, do you want to win or lose?"
Ye Xian curled her lips amusingly, "Is this sothing I can decide? You hardly have any chance of winning..."
While speaking, she suddenly felt the surrounding air pressure drop a few degrees, the man’s sharp side profile tense and straight.
Ye Xian: "..." Is he angry? Surely not, is his ego that strong? Not allowing himself to be inferior to anyone? He’s actually quite remarkable in other areas!
Ye Zhuoxuan listened to their whispers like a guessing couple, smiled generously, "Xianxian, don’t worry, I’ll go easy on him."
When playing with younger generations, he always gives in, especially since Bo Tingshen is an amateur.
Bo Tingshen: "No need, Uncle, just play at your usual level."
Oh, young people indeed have high spirits!
However, he really liked it this way; playing chess should be wholehearted, which respects the ga. Also, giving him an initial shock might show him that marrying into the Ye Family is not so easy.
Ye Zhuoxuan: "Alright!"
The two each took hold of their chess pieces. Ye Zhuoxuan took the white pieces, and Bo Tingshen took the black, beginning their contest on the chessboard.
Ye Xian rested her chin in her hand, watching intently from the side. At first, she purely appreciated Bo Tingshen’s hands—long, even fingers, clearly defined knuckles, ticulously carved like an artist’s masterpiece, yet not a vase without substance. Only she knew the strength under those calloused palms.
But as she watched, her attention unknowingly returned to the board. What was happening? Initially, the white pieces took bold actions, initially gaining the upper hand with her dad’s usual decisive first-strike style, but as it progressed, the white pieces sohow found themselves surrounded by the black pieces, and her dad furrowed his brow, his moves growing hesitant, each placent pondered over for a long ti.
What spectacular move had she missed?
This young man...
Ye Zhuoxuan, holding a chess piece, looked up at him. As expected, no easy opponent.
Initially, he was humble and yielding, playing conservatively, making him drop his guard, indulged in his own setup, only to realize he had been maneuvered into Bo Tingshen’s layout, a trap within a trap.
Overconfident!
Ye Xian watched the chessboard as the black pieces progressively revealed their sharp edge. Her face lit up in surprise, eyes glistening at Bo Tingshen, "CEO, you can really play chess; your skills aren’t bad at all~"
Bo Tingshen was pleased by her admiring eyes, but his face remained stoic, responding lightly, "My skills are unrefined, I can’t compare to Uncle."
This is called unrefined skill?
Ye Zhuoxuan suddenly felt even more pressure. He was the elder, with achievents and years of playing, but he couldn’t lose face in front of this young man.
He picked up a chess piece, and after deep contemplation, carefully placed it down.
The move executed skillfully, likely to break his setup if all went well.
Unexpectedly, Bo Tingshen seed to foresee his intentions; in the next mont, a chess piece landed right at the critical spot, perfectly dismantling his plan.
As this piece fell, the situation completely reversed. The white pieces entered a passive, tense mont, with the black pieces now sharply asserting dominance.
Ye Zhuoxuan furrowed his brow, discreetly slapping his thigh, damn!
Thinking he could use a feint, he instead fell for a diversionary tactic. From the start, he had walked into his trap, with every subsequent step under Bo Tingshen’s calculations. Unfortunately, realizing now was too late, he was surrounded with no room to retreat.
He planned to close the net!
"Wow, CEO, you’re amazing!"
Ye Xian understood the board’s state, excitedly hugging the man’s arm, showering him with praises, "That move was brilliant, cornered the white pieces perfectly, how did you think of that?"
Bo Tingshen looked down at the little woman affectionately clinging to his arm. His cold face gradually ward, the tension in his features softening, a trace of smile flickering in his eyes, "Want to learn?"
"Mmm hmm hmm!"
Too cool!
Watching chess-obsessed dad before, she couldn’t relate, finding it dull and tedious. But seeing Bo Tingshen play today, she finally got it—the ticulous planning, maneuvering, and ultimate control over the entire board felt exhilarating!
"I’ll teach you in the future."
"Okay~"
Ye Zhuoxuan nervously wiped sweat discreetly. This ga was within Bo Tingshen’s design from the start, attempting to overturn it was nearly impossible!
The two exchanged several more moves, the black pieces’ advantage beca even clearer, evidently able to win swiftly but seed deliberately extending the ga, not in a hurry to finish.
"CEO, really curious what’s in your head? How can you be this smart?"
"I don’t usually see you play, but turns out you’re hiding your skills so well, able to defeat my dad, who is a three-ti city Go champion! I’ve never seen anyone better than him, except you!"
Ye Xian looked at Bo Tingshen, her eyes brimming with admiring obsession, her clear, lodious laughter lingered in his ears, like a feather tickling lightly, stirring his heart.
He already forgot what he was thinking, knowing that now his mind was filled with only her. Today she wore n’s clothes but didn’t have any armor on since they were at ho. Tight in his arms, unintentionally igniting him all over.
Bo Tingshen’s fingertips gripping the chess piece unknowingly whitened, eyes swirling with controlled darkness.
Wishing to pull her firmly into his embrace, relieving the aching pain.
Ye Zhuoxuan looked at his daughter embracing the man’s arm, smiling bright and showering praises, genuinely about to "honor" him to death!
This little brat, not yet married, already siding with an outsider, boosting others while undermining her family. Whose daughter is she anyway!
How did he end up with such an ingrate!
