Chapter 337. To Frame Or To Be Framed! (2)
Xi Jiyang’s frail hands trembled slightly as he took the tea that Xi Mushan handed him. He took a sip, then pointed to the Chinese chess set beside him and looked to Mu Yuchen to say, “Let’s have a game, shall we?”
Mu Yuchen set the cup in his hand aside and nodded.
Xi Xiaye watched a smile surface underneath Xi Jiyang’s aged face, yet she could feel a sense of loss and loneliness coming from him. With a sigh, she arranged the chess set for them while Xi Mushan sat down beside Xi Jiyang and watched them play.
Xi Xiaye was not very skilled at chess, so she would not be able to give Mu Yuchen any suggestion even if she watched them. Instead, it was Xi Mushan across her who clearly had more knowledge about chess, so he became Xi Jiyang’s strategist.
After one round, Mu Yuchen’s great skills were showcased. He kept on getting into a tie with Xi Jiyang and Xi Mushan, so they ended the session as such.
“If you’re busy and can’t come back often, it’s fine. Wait for me to recover, then perhaps I can go over to visit you two.” Xi Jiyang sipped his tea as he looked at the husband and wife across him. He could not help but smile.
“We’re not busy on the weekends. Besides, Mother has been hoping for us to come home and visit. There are some things that we obviously cannot overlook.”
Xi Xiaye lowered her head to separate the chess pieces on the board, her clear voice was like a cool breeze making its way around the maple forest, it was calm, no emotions could be heard.
At the same moment Shen Wenna was brought up, Xi Mushan who was beside Xi Jiyang immediately shifted in expression. He abruptly paused and then continued what he was doing.
