Chapter 119: Play a game with me?

Rong Ci was reviewing their chess game, and hearing this, her heart stirred.

Just at this moment, she heard Lin Wu say: "Qin Lao, after watching your game, I really want to try, but my ability is limited, I'm afraid to win against Tingshen—"

"No problem, no problem, I was just joking just now," Qin Lao laughed: "Since you're interested, come on."

Lin Wu was about to respond when someone laughed: "If Miss Lin goes up, the outcome is really hard to say, haha."

"Isn't that so? No matter how good Mr. Feng is at chess, if he really wins against Miss Lin, I'm afraid he'll have to kneel on durian after going home, right?"

As soon as that voice came out, many people around laughed out loud.

Qin Lao didn't know that Lin Wu and Feng Tingshen had this layer of relationship.

Hearing this, seeing Lin Wu's outstanding appearance, generosity, and confidence, she looked indeed well-matched with Feng Tingshen.

He laughed, looked at Feng Tingshen, and teased: "Oh? In that case, I'll wait and see, to see if you boy can still be as relaxed in front of your girlfriend as you were when playing chess with this old man."

Lin Wu, who became the focus of everyone, didn't shy away and said to Feng Tingshen: "I'm not someone who can't afford to lose, let's compete normally."

Feng Tingshen's handsome face revealed a faint smile: "Okay."

Someone saw this and couldn't help but say: "It hasn't even started yet, and they're already showing off their affection."

"Showing off affection is one thing, but Miss Lin is a PhD high-achiever from a world-top university. If Miss Lin dares to say that, her strength must not be weak."

Qin Lao hadn't known Lin Wu before, and hearing this, said: "So you're a PhD high-achiever, little girl," and then said to Feng Tingshen: "Your taste is quite good."

Yu Moxun listened and rolled his eyes directly.

He had actually wanted to ask Rong Ci if she wanted to go up and try just now.

But he hadn't had time to speak before being interrupted by Lin Wu.

Now seeing this, he felt his eyes hurt, curled his lips, and muttered: "If you want to play, play, why talk so much nonsense?"

His voice was very small, but Rong Ci and He Zhangbai still heard it.

Rong Ci smiled.

He Zhangbai looked at Rong Ci, seeing her face without sorrow or joy, her expression calm and cold, and felt a bit relieved inside.

At this moment, Feng Tingshen and Lin Wu finally officially started playing chess.

Rong Ci could see that Lin Wu indeed knew how to play chess.

It wasn't a beginner's level either.

It's just that...

After watching for a while, Rong Ci withdrew her gaze.

After Yu Moxun watched for a while, not knowing what he saw, he rolled his eyes again, feeling he couldn't stay for another moment.

Seeing that Rong Ci also seemed to have lost interest in continuing to watch, he asked: "Do you want to go back to the long pavilion and sit for a while, eat something?"

Rong Ci, however, shook her head and said: "No need, wait a while longer."

He Zhangbai noticed Rong Ci's mind shifting away from the chess game earlier than Yu Moxun.

Just now when Feng Tingshen was playing with Qin Lao, he noticed Rong Ci had been very focused.

Now that it was Feng Tingshen and Lin Wu's turn, she only watched for a while before shifting her gaze away, no longer paying attention to the game.

Although Feng Tingshen and Lin Wu's game was also back and forth.

But he could see that Lin Wu's chess skills were still a bit worse than Qin Lao's, let alone Feng Tingshen's.

But it was indeed quite good.

This reaction from Rong Ci—

"It's also quite okay."

At this moment, Ji Lao's voice suddenly sounded from the side.

He and Ji Qingyue didn't know when they had arrived, and now they were standing beside Qin Lao.

Qin Lao laughed: "It's indeed quite good."

With that, Qin Lao asked again: "Why aren't you painting your painting, what are you doing coming over here?"

"Isn't it because I was afraid you'd say I was lacking in hospitality, so I specifically came over to take a look?"

"Go, go, go, busy yourself, don't disturb my watching the game."

Ji Lao, however, didn't leave.

Hearing Qin Lao and Ji Lao praise Lin Wu, the Lin and Sun families all had smiles on their faces.

Many people at the scene knew Lin Wu.

Regarding Lin Wu, many people were both envious and jealous.

After all, Lin Wu had looks, had academic qualifications, and now, because of chess, had entered the eyes of Ji Lao and Qin Lao.

Furthermore, because of her own charm, she was deeply loved by Feng Tingshen, allowing the Sun and Lin families to easily reach a higher level.

Such a daughter, who wouldn't want one?

Someone couldn't help but enviously say to the Lin and Sun families: "Grandma Lin, Mr. Lin, Mrs. Lin, you really gave birth to a good granddaughter, a good daughter."

"Yes, yes." After others echoed, they couldn't help but inquire: "I don't know how you taught the child to be so good, so outstanding? We are all friends, Old Madam, Mrs. Lin, please pass on some experience to us."

The Lin and Sun families were soon surrounded by several wealthy wives.

Lin Wu was so praised and envied, and Xiang Rufang also felt honored.

She looked at Rong Ci standing over there, smiled triumphantly, and whispered to Sun Yueqing: "Compared to Xiao Wu, she really only has the part of standing on the side."

Sun Yueqing's expression was cold, as if she was unhappy that she was comparing her daughter to Rong Ci.

Grandma Lin and Lin Lihai also heard Xiang Rufang's words.

They also looked toward Rong Ci's side.

Xiao Wu was indeed stronger than Rong Ci in every aspect.

Thinking of this, they returned their gaze to Lin Wu, their eyes filled with gentle and kind smiles.

Just at this moment, Lin Wu stood up and said to Qin Lao: "Sorry, I lost."

Qin Lao smiled kindly and said: "Even if you lost, it was already quite good. After all, not everyone is that Feng boy. Young people like you who study well and play chess so well are already very rare."

Hearing Qin Lao's praise, Lin Wu smiled: "You flatter me."

Qin Lao asked again: "Anyone else want to come?"

The surroundings went quiet.

Seeing this, He Zhangbai looked at Feng Tingshen, and then he discovered that Feng Tingshen was holding a chess piece and looking at him too.

Just at this moment, Rong Ci stepped forward, looked at Feng Tingshen, and said: "Play a game with me?"

Feng Tingshen's hand holding the chess piece paused, and he raised his head to fix his gaze on her.

He Zhangbai also withdrew his gaze and looked at Rong Ci in surprise.

He really hadn't expected Rong Ci to take the initiative to ask to play chess with Feng Tingshen in such an occasion.

Compared to He Zhangbai, the more surprised ones should be the Lin and Sun families, which naturally included Lin Wu.

Like He Zhangbai, she hadn't expected Rong Ci to say this.

Because she thought that with Rong Ci's personality, even if she wanted to play chess with Feng Tingshen, she wouldn't dare to take the initiative to make such a request in such an occasion.

Didn't expect—

The Lin and Sun families furrowed their brows one after another.

Lin Lilan said: "If I had known she would pull this, I should have warned her just now."

The Lin family and the Sun family frowned one after another.

Lin Lilan said, "If I had known she would pull a stunt like this, I should have warned her just now."
