Chapter 53: Shameful

Ye Ling’s seriousness and dedication made Wan Xue feel respected, and he was deeply moved. He had come to regard Ye Ling as the best sister-in-law in the world. Simultaneously, Wan Xue also took the game seriously.

Both of them were intensely focused, though their chess skills were rather average. To Wan Hai, watching them play was somewhat comical. He observed every flawed move they made, struggling to hold back the urge to comment.

Wan Hai turned to look at Min Nan and realized that he was looking at them quite seriously. He immediately felt a little ashamed. In the world of chess, each game and opponent should be treated equally. In terms of mindset, he found himself falling short compared to Min Nan.

In truth, Min Nan wasn’t paying much attention to the evolving chess situation. Although it appeared he was observing their game, his gaze was unswervingly fixed on Ye Ling.

He didn’t expect Ye Ling to be so serious when she was playing chess. That serious look was simply too cute.

“Wan Xue, you’re about to lose again.” Wan Hai assessed the chessboard and declared the outcome.

Wan Xue snorted, “Losing to Sister Lingling makes me happy!”

Concerned that Wan Xue’s pride might be wounded, Ye Ling hurriedly reassured, “I’ve been learning chess from my grandfather since I was young. Given that you’re so much younger than me, Wan Xue, you’re already quite impressive.”

Hearing Ye Ling’s explanation, Wan Hai fell silent.

She had been playing chess with her grandfather since she was young. How could her skills be at this level?

Moreover, Ye Ling was earnestly comforting Wan Xue. It felt like the second-to-last reassuring the last. “It’s okay, you’re already doing great!”

Wan Hai covered his mouth, struggling to contain his laughter as his facial muscles twitched.

Wan Xue neatly put away the chessboard. Suddenly, an enlightening thought struck him. He blinked and turned to Ye Ling, suggesting, “Sister Lingling, how about you play a game with Brother Min Nan? He’s skilled, and he’s not as devious as my second brother, plus he won’t mind undoing moves.”

Although Wan Xue was young, his perception was astute. He had noticed that Ye Ling and Min Nan hadn’t interacted much after dinner, and immediately knew what was needed.

Ye Ling didn’t expect Wan Xue to ask her to play chess with Min Nan. She bit her lip and felt a little awkward.

If she declined to play with Min Nan, would he interpret it as her disliking him?

Ye Ling hesitated but eventually nodded, her voice laced with difficulty,

“Alright, Big Brother Min Nan, let’s play the next round.”

Min Nan didn’t want to play chess with Ye Ling. He was already very satisfied to be able to watch her from the side. However, since Ye Ling had agreed, he naturally didn’t mind playing chess with her.

Min Nan and Wan Xue switched places, and the game between Min Nan and Ye Ling began.

Ye Ling managed to remain composed while facing Wan Xue. Yet, when she was opposite Min Nan, she found it hard to even raise her head.

When she placed the chess piece down, her mind was filled with doubt. “Did I make a foolish move? Will Min Nan laugh at me? Given the gap between our skills, will this game end in just three minutes? Oh my, it’s so embarrassing!”

Min Nan noticed Ye Ling’s unease and wondered why she was confident while playing against Wan Xue but nervous around him.

He slowly placed his chess piece down and occasionally looked up, taking advantage of the chess game to look at Ye Ling openly.

Throughout this, Ye Ling hadn’t looked at Min Nan. However, as time passed, her nervousness started to fade. She began earnestly considering the board’s situation. After a while, she realized something peculiar. “Why hadn’t she lost yet?”

Min Nan’s skills were on par with Wan Hai’s, but Ye Ling was essentially devoid of any chess skills. Given Min Nan’s abilities, he could’ve won against her within three minutes.

Yet, they had been playing for over ten minutes.

Was Min Nan deliberately losing to her?

felt even more embarrassed when she thought about how Min Nan was

imitating her playing skills! Seriously, could he please just let her lose already?

Ye Ling raised her head, wanting to observe Min Nan’s expression, but she didn’t expect Min Nan to be looking at her too.

Their eyes met, and time seemed to stand still.

Wan Hai was so bored that he was about to fall asleep. He could see that Min Nan was intentionally letting Ye Ling win. This guy was truly patient with his future wife!

No, with their pace, this game could last until midnight.

“Alright, you two can continue another time. The hot water is ready. Lingling, why don’t you take a shower first? You must be exhausted. It’s better to rest early.” Wan Hai’s words came to Ye Ling’s rescue. She finally didn’t have to wait to lose. She nodded hastily. “Alright, I’ll shower first. Big Brother Min Nan, let’s play chess another time.”

Saying “another time” proved challenging for Ye Ling.

There definitely wouldn’t be another time!
