Chapter 475 - 174 Summer Mountain Villa
A game of chess had lasted for nearly an hour, and in the end, victory and defeat had become indistinguishable. Luo Mingzhu clapped her hands and laughed heartily, "I’ve never enjoyed a game of chess as much as this!"
Yueyao smiled, had someone clean up the chess game, and commended, "The Heir’s Wife said you were bright but lacked patience, and it really seems to be the case. When my father taught me chess, it took me nearly two months to learn, but you’re much better than I was." Although Luo Mingzhu was older, Yueyao exhibited the patience she used to teach Tingzheng while accompanying Luo Mingzhu. What Yueyao hadn’t anticipated was the effectiveness of this approach. It seemed that praise worked well at any time!
Luo Mingzhu’s confidence soared, and she rubbed her hands together, ready for another round. It was the first time anyone had complimented her innate talent for chess!
Bai Yi interjected hastily, "Why not eat something before playing another game?"
Zhi Qin busily brought over a food box from outside. She arranged a plate of iced watermelon, a plate of freshly washed lychees still dotted with water droplets, a plate of grapes, a plate of white melon seeds, a plate of black melon seeds, and a plate of cooked peanuts.
Luo Mingzhu helped herself to a piece of watermelon and then another, seeing that Yueyao had not yet partaken and hurriedly asked, "Why aren’t you eating?"
Yueyao frowned slightly, "I don’t eat things that have been chilled. Iced items carry a coldness that’s not good for the body."
Zhi Qin suggested quickly, "Then Miss, you could eat some melon seeds and peanuts."
Yueyao did not care for melon seeds, "No need, I don’t feel like eating right now." Though that was what she said, her expression clearly conveyed her disdain for the snacks on the table.
Bai Yi lifted the curtain of the carriage and instructed someone outside, "Bring over some fruits that haven’t been chilled."
Soon, another food box was handed over from outside. Inside were fruits that hadn’t been chilled. Yueyao then selected some grapes to eat.
