As soon as she heard her voice, Weng Yinlin turned around to look at her. With a smile, she said, Youre awake, Siyue? Youre just in time. Aunt Songs soup is just about done. You should drink more of it later, its good for you.

Thank you, mom. After Xin Siyue said that with a smile, she turned to look at Chen Sinan, her eyes revealing her dissatisfactionhow could he have the guts to just say anything!

Chen Sinan wiped his hands and walked towards her. Were going to have a fine meal tonight. Mom hasnt cooked for years, but shes willing to cook up a storm just for you.

Xin Siyue was surprised. She never expected that the fierce working woman Weng Yinlin would actually have a homely side to her outside of work.

Let me do it, mom.

Its fine, Ill be done after this dish. You must be tired, go rest in the living room.

When Xin Siyue saw Weng Yinlins gaze that said I know how you young people are, she still felt embarrassed.

When they were done cleaning up after dinner, Xin Siyue and Chen Sinan watched TV for a while with their grandfather. Suddenly, the old man said his fingers were itching for some chess again, so he asked Xin Siyue, So, my granddaughter-in-law, do you know how to play chess?

Xin Siyue blinked her eyes and asked, What type of chess, grandpa? Chinese chess or five-in-a-row?

Why not both? Grandpa Chen suggested.

Xin Siyue paused for a moment. Then, she responded, Oh, sure. Ill go get the chess set from the study.

After Xin Siyue ran upstairs, Chen Sinan who was sitting on the center of the sofa turned his gaze over to give the old man a glance, the meaning in his gaze clear.

Grandpa Chen rocked his chair and laughed. Its nice to have a granddaughter-in-law. At least now I can find a chess partner.

Chen Sinan made no comment. You should hold back a little, old man.

Grandpa Chen laughed. I cant mess with my own grandson, but playing around with my granddaughter-in-law still seems rather fun.

On the other hand, Xin Siyue who didnt think too deeply about it brought the chess set over, set up the game, and after a few moves, clearly felt herself unable to hold on.

She had also played chess with Chen Sinan before, but Grandpa Chen and Chen Sinan were different. If she put on the spoiled or cute act with Chen Zinan, then she could get him to go easy on her that way. Moreover, he tended to go the gentle route with chess that gets you out of nowhere. She was not at all like Grandpa Chen who exposed his murderous aura in just a few moves.

Xin Siyue wasnt very good at chess so it didnt take her long to fall into her tragic end.

It was almost as if Grandpa Chen was checking her skill level. When they moved on to five-in-a-row, he had clearly changed his tactics, almost as if he was slowly killing her slice after slice.

These chess games were excruciating for Xin Siyue, and several times, she would look over to Chen Sinan, asking him for help.

Chen Sinan scolded her helplessly, You idiot! He was just about to teach her a few tricks when Grandpa Chen at the side stopped him immediately. Hey! No talking during chess!

Chen Sinan glanced over to the proud Grandpa Chen, then at his own wife, and could only endure it. He only reached out to hold her hand, stroking it every so often with his fingers.

At the end when Xin Siyues entire army was annihilated, Xin Siyue finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Grandpa Chen laughed and said, Its been a long time since Ive played chess with someone so bad at it. You should play chess with me more in the future, hm?

Xin Siyue agreed with a smile, but when she was about to pack up the chess set, she didnt expect that Chen Sinan would say, Old man, lets play a few games.

When he heard that, Grandpa Chen was overjoyed. Sure, come on!

Ever since he took over the company, Chen Sinan came home less and less, so there was no need to even mention having the time to play a calming game of chess with his grandfather.

And so, Grandpa Chen rubbed his hands together, ready for a fight. But in just a few minutes, Xin Siyue was watching wide-eyed at the completely one-sided chess game, while Chen Sinan stood up and spoke easily, Lets go, my wife. Its time to sleep.

Grandpa Chens face was dark.

Meanwhile, Chen Siyue was stunned. Thank you Chen Sinan for your grace last time.

======

Chen Sinan huffed to show his dissatisfaction.

But Xin Siyue didnt care. After she was done eating, she went upstairs to get changed. Only, halfway through, Chen Sinan barged his way in. He leaned against the doorway, watching her change while he spoke leisurely, After youre done, lets go and get our stuff settled.

Xin Siyue put on her clothes and fixed up her hair before asking, Settle what?

Chen Sinan responded calmly, Our marriage certificate.

Xin Siyue who was busy trying to tie her hair paused in her movements. She turned around and looked at him. Youre sayingWere going to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get our certificate?

He smiled silently. If we dont get it at the Civil Affairs Bureau, then where else will we get it?

After she heard that, Xin Siyue couldnt help from smiling. She responded, But my familys household register is with my parents.

Then we can get it from father and mother-in-law later.

Okay. Xin Siyue stared at him and couldnt help a smile from crawling up her face.

After taking a trip to the Xin family house, they headed for the Civil Affairs Bureau. In just less than an hour, they were back out again, and Xin Siyue had become a married woman. She looked at the small red book in her hands and felt a little dazed. Sigh, Ive finally become a married woman.

Chen Sinan who was currently backing up the car glanced at her and remarked in a cold tone, You sound quite disappointed, Mrs. Chen.

Xin Siyue leaned over to face him and smiled. But with such a handsome beauty to stay with me for the rest of my life, I think its worth it.

Beauty?

Chen Sinan raised a brow, thinking to himself, Ill definitely have to deal with her tonight!
