"Of course!"
Ye Zhuoxuan heard about the game, and his heart was already itching, not to mention 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 blame me 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 me?"
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 some art appreciation homework, but mastering chess wasn’t something you could achieve overnight.
Bo Tingshen: "So, do you want me to win or lose?"
Ye Xian curled her lips amusingly, "Is this something 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 game. 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, meticulously 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 somehow found themselves surrounded by the black pieces, and her dad furrowed his brow, his moves growing hesitant, each placement pondered over for a long time.
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!
