Chapter 73 - 068: Crappy Man!
Tong Airui wasn't someone who acted impulsively or without reason. His actions earlier were not the result of a momentary lapse in judgment.
From the very beginning, he had a special feeling toward Yi Luowa. Before today, he was still thinking that perhaps this special feeling stemmed from remorse over the car accident.
But today, after taking her to the scene of the accident and giving her the box of bear-shaped hair clips he had treasured for so many years, his wish to resolve his guilt was fulfilled. Yet, that special feeling still lingered in his heart.
Yi Luowa entered the bedroom for the first time, and the conversation between Aunt Xixi and the elders deeply provoked him.
Ning Mingxi said, "Yan Zi, this girl Luowa is really good. Could you help bridge the connection with Kaikai from our family?"
Yan Zi laughed, "No way! I won't help you with that. I've taken a liking to her myself. I'm intending to keep her here to call me mother-in-law someday."
The thought of having to call the little girl his sister-in-law or younger sister-in-law irked Tong Airui. In that moment, he realized his own feelings—his special affection for Yi Luowa wasn't out of guilt; it was because he liked her!
After seeing his feelings clearly, Tong Airui grew restless. Suppressing the restlessness in his heart, he decided to test Yi Luowa's character one last time, so he asked her to accompany his grandfather in playing chess.
During the chess match, Yi Luowa's performance greatly satisfied Tong Airui. She was neither arrogant in victory nor despairing in defeat. She planned her moves carefully and thought several steps ahead, revealing a long-term perspective. Although she seemed sly in daily life, on the chessboard, she was undeniably honest.
