"No need, no need, you can just eat in a bit, right now I need to maintain an element of mystery!" Madam Xie winked at her and then locked herself back in the kitchen to continue discussing new recipes with the cooking auntie.
Meanwhile, Father Xie reached behind him and fetched a chess set from the cupboard, giving Su Zhiruan an expectant look, "Su girl, how about a couple of games of chess?"
Father Xie was also someone who loved chess dearly. Once, when Su Zhiruan and Xie Yanshang were playing, he peered over the board and, with just one look, he found himself hooked.
Su Zhiruan's ideas and strategies were simply too exquisite, even his son, whom he thought was very skilled, sometimes couldn't win against her.
Hence, whenever Su Zhiruan visited, Father Xie would always want to bring out the Go board to have a match or two with her.
Su Zhiruan took a seat opposite him, and the two began their game, while Xie Yanshang went to help in the kitchen.
