Rebirth: Never Live Up to You - C46
“Warm Jin is here, she’s here to play chess with grandpa.” The guard got up and gave her the seat. With her skills, she was no match for the guard. She hurriedly looked at Chi Yinan, “Let him play with you. I’m afraid my skills are inconceivable.”
The old man laughed heartily. Chi Yinan was pulled over and pressed on the chair. He also smiled and cleared the board, “Grandfather, you go first.”
“Wan-Jin, watch by the side. Learn to be with grandpa next time.” She nodded, unable to get away from the order, and took a chair and sat down among them. They were playing Go, which was said to be the easiest game to learn and the most varied, and she tilted her head and looked at the black and white figures on the board, genuinely baffled.
For those who understood, chess was a pleasure, but for those who didn’t, chess was like a flower in the mist. After a while, their eyelids drooped, and they rested their hands on their chins in low spirits.
“Warm Jin, this chess piece is so hypnotic.” The old man’s words were laced with laughter, his white eyebrows moving from side to side. Holding her chin in her hand, she nodded like a chick pecking rice. She finally received permission to run into the kitchen like a wisp of smoke.
She didn’t go to the kitchen to help out, but had nothing to eat on the plane. Now that she was hungry, she walked to the back door and sneaked out to eat. She didn’t forget to wipe her mouth.
Grandma Gu Hui Ru had already packed her things, and the kitchen auntie was preparing to serve the dishes.
“Your father has some business. He will be back in the afternoon.”
The mother-in-law seemed to see through her doubts and said, “I don’t know what’s the big deal, but she wouldn’t even ask him. You guys are tired from the plane today, so you should go back and rest after the meal. The main reason I called you over is because the old man has been thinking too much and has been reading for the past few days.”
She smiled to show her understanding. Older people always wanted their children to come see him more, and since the old man’s body was almost exhausted, he might go someday without knowing.
She had eaten a lot this time, the quiet garden’s chef was specially hired by her mother, Gu Huiru. He could cook famous dishes in many places, and every time he came he would change the way he cooked. Because she was hungry today, she ate two small bowls of rice.
“Mom, what are you trying to say?”
“Have you been feeling hungry really quickly recently?”
Chi Yinan stopped his chopsticks and looked at his mother, puzzled. Su Wenjin had been smart since she was young, and after two seconds, he knew what his mother-in-law meant. He took another bite and said, “Mom, you’re thinking too much.”
Although she had restrained her expression, she was still disappointed. “Oh, I was indeed overthinking it. You guys have plenty of opportunities anyways, I shouldn’t rush it.”
Although she had mentioned it before, it wasn’t as if she was impatient this time. Those eyes of hers seemed to be staring directly at her stomach, wishing that they could bulge up overnight and make her unable to breathe.
After dinner, Chi Yinan helped the old man up to rest and they drove back to the creek. Halfway through he answered a phone and she looked out the window at the passing scenery, thinking that she had lost her regular plums, so she told him to park the car while she went to the mall to buy a box of plums.
Chi Yinan parked his car in the parking lot outside. Just as he got out of the car, his phone rang again, as if something had happened to him. There were so many people in the mall, so she didn’t ask him to accompany her and went on her own.
On the second floor, there was a foreign food store. She went in familiarly and took a box from a shelf. It was noon and quite a number of people were shopping in the store. There was a long line at the cashier’s counter.
Suddenly, she saw a familiar figure in the crowd, and when she saw the person next to the familiar figure, she held her breath. Why was her father-in-law together with Lin Jingsheng, she was so curious, so she got off the elevator and walked in their direction, but she never noticed that Lin Jingsheng’s back was so similar to her father-in-law’s. They walked very quickly, reaching the elevator at the side of the stairs, and she stood in the crowd and looked at the elevator door as it closed.
When he came out of the mall, Chi Yinan had already finished his call. He leaned against the car, one hand in his pocket and the other on the roof. Seeing her come out, he opened the car door for her.
He was still thinking about what just happened. After thinking about it, he decided not to tell him. He threw the bag on the back seat and fastened his seat belt.
After a good two days of rest at home, Su Wenjin went back to the jet lag. On the other hand, a certain man didn’t even have to go back to the jet lag, and on the second day he went to work normally without a trace of discomfort, as expected of a person who flew in the air frequently on business, his physique was just different. After a good rest, she went out to take a taxi to “Shangao”, where she didn’t come for a few days.
It was not even ten o’clock, and between breakfast and lunch, the restaurant was still full of customers. She found a seat for herself near the window with great difficulty, ordered a serving of the specialty soup noodles, then took out her phone and poked and poked it. She had recently gotten hooked on a game where she could find her sister, only to be laughed at by Chi Yinan a few days ago.
“Sigh, Su Clan International has entered into the real estate business. Don’t not believe it. Look at the newspaper.”
Beside her sat two men, shirt, trousers, a corporate elite holding a newspaper, their voices not loud, drifting into her ears, she leaned to the side, she could still hear their conversation, as the man spoke he had a very high opinion of the real estate industry of the international development of the Su family, Lin Jingsheng’s three big words once again entered his ears, thinking of the scene she saw in the market two days ago, she held her chin and sighed with emotion, it was really hard for her to hear clearly, why did he always appear in her life, she felt a little irritated.
She had eaten a big bowl of broth noodles until there was almost nothing left, and even half of the broth had been drunk up. Normal men would only be able to eat this much, no wonder their mother-in-law Gu Hui Ru looked at her with an expression that seemed like she wanted to say something, but was unable to do so because she was really like a pregnant woman, able to eat, and still able to sleep.
Before she left, she looked at the two men who were still talking and felt extremely annoyed. She didn’t know what could be considered as not happening, but once she knew, how could she not think wild thoughts? His company was obviously a high-tech and electronic company, but now that they were back in City S, she immediately turned to real estate, not wanting to guess what it meant.
There were still two more chapters left. Hopefully, they would all be able to log into the game in the future and leave a paw stamp of Meng Meng.
After walking out of the Duck Soup Noodle store, they crossed the road and arrived at “Shang Ou”. Pushing the door open, she entered the grass to recommend clothes for the guests. She smiled at her and entered the resting room.
Just as he sat down and turned on the computer, Little Grass opened the door and revealed half her head, “Boss, Miss Qin came to find you two days ago. I said you went abroad.”
“Oh, what is it?”
“No, but she was in quite a good mood at the time.”
She might have been on the plane when Kieran had called her, but she was in a good mood, so she was curious about something. It was spring, and when people were bored, they would be overjoyed when they heard anything, so she immediately called her.
Kieran had come in a hurry, and it was already autumn. Sweat beaded on his forehead, and his cheeks were red from the heat. She took a piece of paper and handed it over to him.
“He’s willing to come back from abroad?” Kieran took off his jacket, hung it on the back of his chair, and drank some boiled water from the table. He was tired and thirsty, and his high heels had scraped the skin off his heels.
“Aren’t I reluctant to part with you?” She handed over the present that she had brought from abroad. Kieran’s gift had been chosen by her and Chi Yinan together, or more accurately, Chi Yinan together, because he did not approve of her choosing a silk scarf. He had chosen a bracelet for her, which was a different story.
“It’s really a big gift. Su Wenjin, please take care of it. It can act cute, warm the bed and protect its owner. Do you want to consider it?”
“Sure, I just happen to be missing a watchdog. Come on, let’s eat and sleep together.” Chi Yinan had always wanted to buy a large dog, but Kieran’s size was just right for that. He could even chat and relieve his boredom when he was bored. How nice!
“You heartless person. However, you must still thank me. I truly like it very much.” Kieran took the chain out of the blue velvet box and put it on his finger. Her skin was white to begin with, and matched the color of the chain. He carefully removed the chain and placed it inside the box.
“There’s no need for that. Why don’t we just cancel it with the wedding present? What do you think?”
“Su Wenjin, aren’t you afraid that I’ll ask Chi Yinan for a wedding present?”
She stroked her hair that had fallen in front of her forehead as she laughed heartily. Her eyes curved into a smile. “So you’re saying that something good is about to happen?”
Although Kieran was a great beauty, he had not seen her in a relationship since they had met, nor had he ever seen her like anyone else, but there were a lot of people chasing after her. Every time someone confessed to her, she would ask a strange question about the situation where the two parallel lines intersected, a question she did not know the answer to.
