Many pieces were laid down and she didn't know what they meant, but soon discovered that they formed traps. With her IQ, it's likely that if she went up, she would directly jump into the pit.

  This is not an old man vs a young and tender one at all, but rather an old fox vs a little fox, one more cunning and sinister than the other!

  After one round, she was shocked and frightened, but she also admired Gu Zichen more.

  This guy is definitely an academic overachiever!

  In the end, Old Master was still one move ahead, winning against Gu Zichen. However, he didn't show any sign of triumph, but instead took a sip of tea and smiled faintly: "You young man's chess skills have improved, that's enough for today, I'm also tired, you young people go have fun."

  Su Niannian was overjoyed, bid farewell to the old master with a smile, and walked away happily. Gu Zichen calmly exchanged a glance with the old master, stood up, and followed in Su Niannian's footsteps.

  After the two walked away, Old Master Gu's eyebrows were cold and stern, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the table.

  Su Yian's daughter... didn't expect her to have grown up so much already...

  He recalled the gentle and caring gaze that Gu Zichen had looked at Su Niannian with just now, and the coldness in his eyes was even more intense.

  ——

  After going downstairs, Chen Yuan and several others were still in their original place, the chess pieces were put aside, and several people chatted casually.

  Nan Ning sat beside Chen Yuan, talking to him non-stop. Chen Yuan was polite but distant, yet couldn't bring himself to refuse her.

  Ye Xingyu was holding his mobile phone, enthusiastically playing a racing game, while Nan Xi sat alone in the corner, staring blankly in one direction, her eyebrows and eyes filled with gloom.

  She likes him, but she doesn't dare go up and talk to him.

  Unrequited love is a journey without a destination, she doesn't know when it started but can never see the end.

  Chen Yuan's heart was also uncomfortable, and his facial expression became even colder, until Su Nian came over and it eased a bit.

  "How was it? Did old man give you a hard time?" Chen Yuan asked with concern, and Ye Xingyu also put down his phone and looked at Su Niannian.

  "It's okay, Grandpa Gu is a good person, don't think too much about it." Su Nian smiled and sat down beside Nan Xi.

  In her subconscious mind, she still prefers Nanxi.

  Nanxi and Nanning are both classical goddess types, but Nanning is the kind of gentle yet majestic one. Her temperament matches Su Year's well. Nanning probably isn't in good health, her skin is pale to the point of being almost translucent, although she has a sickly beauty, relatively speaking, Su Year still leans towards Nanxi, after all, she's more familiar with Nanxi.

  Nan Qi naturally felt her kindness and gave her a slight smile.

  Su Nian's heart is screaming with excitement, this is what they call a goddess! She's really too beautiful! One smile can conquer the city, and another can conquer the country. Whatever, she's just too beautiful! If he were a man, he would definitely fall in love with such a beauty!

  "I heard that Ali Ge will also return today, but it's already this late and I haven't seen him yet." Nan Xi was a bit disappointed. Su Nian Nian had never heard of the "Ali Ge" mentioned by Nan Xi, so she curiously asked Nan Xi.

  Just as Nan Qi was about to explain, another commotion broke out in the crowd, with even more fanfare than when the old master had arrived earlier.

  The crowd automatically dispersed, making way for the newcomer. Various discussions and murmurs filled the air. The first thing that appeared in front of Su Nian's eyes were two men who looked like staff members, wearing black suits and sunglasses, isolating the crowd from the person behind them.

  When that person appeared, the scene suddenly fell silent.
