Translator: 549690339 |

Dongfang Yi was irritated looking at his son’s behaviour, and was about to scold him again when his wife interjected, “Mu has agreed to go on a date with Cui Shuqian. Let’s end it here for today. Let him change his clothes and hurry out!”

Dongfang Yi was startled, “Mu, you agree to date Cui Shuqian?”

“That’s not a date, it’s just a meal together!”

“Okay, no matter what you call it, as long as you can eat with her, that’s enough. Hurry up, don’t let the Lu Family beat us to it.”

Dongfang Mu would have preferred the Lu Family to act first, but the problem was that Lu Lingche already had a Lan Yuyi, so it was impossible for him to marry into the Cui Family.

Lu Lingche’s mother, who had a strange fondness for Lan Yuyi, was also unlikely to let Lu Lingche marry Cui Shuqian.

Therefore, Dongfang Mu suspected that his father was just using the Lu Family to pressure him.

However, Dongfang Mu was wrong.

At the Lu Family Villa.

Lu Mingzhen was entertaining the current head of the Cui Family, Cui Song, in the living room.

Meanwhile, in the outdoor pavilion in the garden, Lu Lingche and Cui Shuqian were sitting together.

The two were playing a game of chess.

Cui Shuqian, a graduate of a prestigious university, had always been renowned as an intelligent and talented woman, reputedly having high emotional intelligence and intellect, making her best suited for marrying into a wealthy family.

However, after playing chess with her for a short time, Lu Lingche found that she did not live up to her reputation.

Because, when it came to chess, she was not even a match for Qiao Yin, indicating her intellect wasn’t exactly impressive.

Qiao Yin…

For some reason, her image appeared in Lu Lingche’s mind. Lu Lingche remembered how, before they were married, she once visited the Lu Family and played a game of chess with him here.

And at that time, he had lost.

He didn’t remember how he lost the game, because his older brother had just passed away and his mind wasn’t fully on the game, so it was understandable that he had lost.

However, now his mind was equally elsewhere, but Cui Shuqian was struggling with her every move, taking a long time to consider each step.

Qiao Yin wasn’t like that.

Her moves were quick and far more decisive than Cui Shuqian’s.

A person’s style of playing chess often reflects their personality.

Judging from her chess play, Qiao Yin was not the indecisive type. Her gentle and compliant manner was merely a facade. Why had he never really considered it?

She taught him a lesson, and now he had learned to rein in his arrogance and judge a person’s character accurately.

Take Cui Shuqian for example, based on her style of play, she is a cautious person, always considering the bigger picture.

The game ended, and Cui Shuqian lost.

She did not allow the loss to affect her mood, she even laughed, “The Second Young Master of the Lu Family is indeed as talented as the rumours say, he effortlessly defeated me.”

Lu Lingche perceived what she implied – that she knew he was not entirely focused.

However, he didn’t care.

He didn’t even respond to her, instead, he looked at a chess piece.

It was a general piece, with a tiny “Qiao” character engraved on it.

That was his piece. After Qiao Yin captured it, she treated it like a war trophy and engraved it with her name “Qiao”.

At that time he didn’t think much of it, but now, reminiscing about it, he felt that there was a deeper implication to her action.

Could it be that she once cared for him?

That’s why even her victory in a single game of chess was commemorated by engraving it?

Picking up the general piece and rubbing it for a while, he then put it in his pocket.

Cui Shuqian was surprised by his action, not understanding why he would take a chess piece.

But she was savvy enough not to question it.

Having met Lu Lingche once before, she knew he was the sort of man whose exceptional looks and aura would make him stand out in a crowd. His icy and aloof demeanor was tantalizing to women, making it easy for them to fall for him.

Compared to Dongfang Mu, a playboy with his soft and romantic charms, she found herself more attracted to the coldness of Lu Lingche.

Furthermore, Dongfang Mu was easily swayed by beauty, stopping in his tracks at the sight of a pretty face.

Lu Lingche, however, was not.
