Old Ruan made his first move and joked: "How do you know?"
"Grandpa, she is stronger." Mu Shaoling took the next step without thinking too much.
"You know her very well." Old Ruan murmured, and then continued: "But this girl and Xiao Bai are indeed similar in temperament. I remembered that when I played chess with Xiao Bai before, that girl could never beat me.
But he doesn’t want me to give in. If he finds out that I give in to him, that girl will be depressed for a long time.”
Mu Shaoling's thin lips showed a slight smile.
When the old man talked about Ruan Bai, he missed his granddaughter.
Little did he know that he had actually met Ruan Bai, but now she had a lot that she couldn't say, so she needed to continue to hide it.
"Shaoling." Old Ruan called him.
"Yeah." Mu Shaoling responded.
"How is that girl Xiaobai doing abroad now?" Old Man Ruan asked.
"Xiao Bai, she is living a very happy life now." Mu Shaoling looked towards the kitchen. She had visited her grandfather and was preparing dinner with her aunt. This kind of life was very happy.
"That's good." Old Ruan sighed: "What I want to see most is that she can be happy. Shao Ling, sometimes you can't force feelings, so you have to make plans for your own happiness."
"I know." The old man didn't speak very clearly, but Mu Shaoling could understand the meaning of his words.
Although he is Ruan Bai's grandfather, he doesn't know right from wrong.
The other side.
Nian Mu walked into the kitchen and wanted to help, but Ruan Manwei shook his head and said: "Nian Mu, you are a guest at home, how can I ask you to help?"
"Aunt Ruan, I have nothing to do, so please let me help you." Nian Mu saw the apron hanging nearby and took the initiative to pick it up and put it on.
"This can't work. Is Shaoling here?" Ruan Manwei heard Mu Shaoling's voice coming from the living room.
"Mr. Mu is here, so I don't have to play chess with the old man." Nian Mu explained that she can't play chess with the old man, but she can cook.
"Well, then you go and watch them play chess and drink tea. Don't mess around in the kitchen." Ruan Manwei was busy preparing dinner, and a nanny would be enough.
"Aunt Ruan, I can't understand the chess game. Please let me help." Nian Mu said helplessly. If she sat next to Mu Shaoling, she would definitely receive blazing eyes.
She couldn't bear it.
Thinking of everything she had with Mu Shaoling last night, her heart was still pounding.
The man's actions were so strong that she almost couldn't resist.
Seeing her insistence, Ruan Manwei had no choice but to say, "Then, please help me wash the vegetables."
"Okay." Nian Mu happily agreed. It would be better to have something to do than sit next to Mu Shaoling and watch him play chess.
After all, Mu Shaoling's eyes were ambiguous and fiery, and she was worried that the old man would see through her.
After preparing dinner, Ruan Manwei and Nian Mu brought the dishes to the table respectively.
Ruan Manwei walked to the living room, looked at old Ruan who was having a great time playing chess with Mu Shaoling, and reminded with a smile: "Dad, Shaoling, you can eat now."
"Waiting for us to finish this game, it will be soon." Old Ruan touched his chin. The game with Mu Shaoling was very interesting, and the other party would not let him go.
This makes the whole chess game more interesting.
Although the old man lost a lot, the fun of playing chess obviously increased.
"Okay, hurry up then." Ruan Manwei saw that there were not many chess pieces left on the old man's side, and walked to the dining table with a smile to wait.
Nianmu looked at them.
As if understanding, Mu Shaoling also raised his head and glanced at her at the same time.
Nianmu immediately looked away.
Five minutes later, Old Ruan surrendered and sighed again: "It's still fun to play chess with you. Your chess skills are much better than your old man."
Mu Shaoling put the chessboard away and said, "Grandpa, my chess skills were also taught by the old man."
"It's better to learn from someone who is better than someone who's not good enough. Last time I said this, he was still not convinced." Old Ruan said, waving slightly towards Ruan Man, motioning for her to come over and help push the wheelchair.
After his health got better, Mr. Mu would occasionally come over and play chess with him.
Two old men can play for an entire afternoon with just a few pots of tea and a chessboard.
Listening to the old man's words, Mu Shaoling finally understood why the old man always wanted him to go back to his old house for dinner during this period.
I'm afraid that when I go back to my old house for dinner, I can play chess with him by the way.
Ruan Manwei came over, pushed Old Ruan to the dining table, and adjusted the height of the wheelchair, "Dad, is this height okay?"
"Okay, very good." Old Ruan looked at Nian Mu with a smile, "Girl Nian, today's dishes are made by Manwei. They are all home-cooked dishes. They are different from the Western food abroad. You don't want to
Do you mind."
"Grandpa Ruan, Aunt Ruan's cooking skills are outstanding. I definitely won't mind. I will definitely taste it. And I think home-cooked food is more delicious than Western and French food." Nian Mu said, her cooking skills,
Part of it was learned from Ruan Manwei.
So Ruan Manwei's cooking is delicious, and she knows this.
"No matter what, just ordinary home-cooked food, come and eat." Ruan Man said with a smile, and then glanced at Mu Shaoling who was sitting opposite Nian Mu, "Shaoling, you can eat too."
"Okay, aunt." Mu Shaoling followed Ruan Bai and called them.
A pleasant meal.
Nianmu tasted the long-lost taste and was satisfied.
After dinner, Old Ruan did not stay with them because the weather was still cold.
Nian Mu and Mu Shaoling left the Ruan family together.
When she was about to find Cheng Wu's car and drive away, Mu Shaoling said, "I'll let Cheng Wu get off work first. You can get in the car with me."
"Okay." Nian Mu did not refuse, got into Mu Shaoling's car and left.
In the car, the heater is blowing into the space inside the car, driving away the cold bit by bit.
Nianmu looked at the receding night scene and thought of Ruan Manwei's body. She looked sideways at the man in the driver's seat who was driving seriously.
"Mr. Mu."
"Have you forgotten what I said yesterday?" Mu Shaoling raised his eyebrows and did not look at her, but focused on the road conditions.
Said yesterday...
Nian Mu's face turned red, remembering what he said yesterday.
"Shaoling..." she compromised, worried that her little persistence and habits would cause him to suddenly stop the car and kiss her.
He has done this kind of thing before.
Similarly, it was also because of something she did that aroused his strong dissatisfaction.
"Yeah." Mu Shaoling was very satisfied, but also knew that it would take some time to correct her tormenting caution.
"I have something to ask you." Nian Mu said.
"I can help you with anything." Mu Shaoling said directly without asking anything.
He is not afraid that she will dig a hole for him.
At the same time, he knew that Nian Mu would not cheat him.
