Xiao Hongli thought he had misheard his brother-in-law and looked at him, asking puzzledly, "Brother, what are you saying?"

Yang Jingchao returned Xiao Hongli's gaze with a smirk on his face and asked, "What do you think of my three sons?"

Xiao Hongli laughed as he looked at the chessboard on the table and tried to change the subject. “Kak, how long have we not played chess? Let's play the game.”

Yang Jingchao sat across from Xiao Hongli, picked up the chess piece and continued, “What about the Shaman? He has a good personality and attention. If you marry Xiao Rou with her, we will treat her like a princess

Astonished, Xiao Hongli covered his mouth with his fist and coughed. “Sister, you must be kidding. Rourou is too young.”

Besides, he couldn't make a decision for her ... Her daughter being a good girl, she deserves a better man, like ... Xiao Hongli looked to the side only to be surprised — Qiao Liang stood beside him and looked terrible. Looking at Xiao Hongli, Qiao Liang said nonchalantly, "Uncle Xiao, let me play chess with General Yang."

Qiao Liang's eyes were serious, even loud, as he stared at Yang Jingchao. Xiao Hongli raised an eyebrow and stepped to the side. Qiao Liang took Xiao Hongli's seat and looked at Yang Jingchao coldly. As he set up the chessboard, Qiao Liang said, "General Yang, please go first."

Xiao Hongli stood to the side, wondering why Qiao Liang looked hostile towards his brother-in-law. Was it because her brother-in-law was too outspoken and so offended by this child? Oh, it's not good for him to be so aggressive at such a young age.

Yang Jingchao did not know what was wrong with Qiao Liang. Why did she suddenly become so hostile towards him...? And he called him General Yang?! Since you called Xiao Hongli "Uncle", you should also call me that, okay?

Tang Xi heard their conversation and felt amused but moved by Qiao Liang's childish actions. When was the last time Qiao Liang did something silly for him? It seemed like he had never done anything like this before. He is always rational in everything.

He never lost control of himself. If they had not experienced a breakup, perhaps he would never have been able to see such a cute Qiao Liang in his life.

The war between the Xiao brothers and the Yang brothers had ended, and they were playing games in front of the TV. Yang Muqing and Yuan Lihua went to the kitchen to help with cooking, while Tang Xi chatted happily with Yang Jingxian and Qiao Yuxin.

Qiao Liang and Yang Jingchao were playing chess attentively. Yang Jingchao moved the chess piece and looked at Qiao Liang, commenting, "President Qiao is truly a genius. You are not only a legend in the business circle, but also a good chess player.”

Qiao Liang, with a straight face, moved his chess piece and raised his eyes as he replied, “I'm flattered, General Yang. I am not a legend. As for who among us will win, it will depend on skill.” After Yang Jingchao moved the chess piece, he also moved it.

Yang Jingchao moved the other chess pieces and was about to speak when Qiao Liang moved and caught one of his chess pieces. Yang Jingchao stopped and said, “Oh, people are different. President Qiao is truly versatile.” He did not want to continue playing chess, because he thought if he continued, he would suffer a crushing defeat.

However, Qiao Liang seemed to be intending to provoke him. He placed the chess piece in his hand and looked at Yang Jingchao seriously and said flatly, "I'm flattered, General Yang. In fact, I only saw others play chess once before. This is my first time playing chess.”

Yang Jingchao blushed as he forced a smile and said to Qiao Yuxin, “Sepupu, you have a good son. He's a genius.”

Xiao Hongli almost choked with laughter on the side. Her brother-in-law had always won over others, but now she could only give up on Qiao Liang. How funny is that!

Tang Xi also almost laughed out loud. Now he discovered that Qiao Liang was too bad and did not save face for Uncle. Look how embarrassed he is!

Sensing Tang Xi's gaze, Qiao Liang looked at her firmly. Tang Xi looked at him innocently in response. Did he do anything that offended him? Why is he glaring at her?

Tang Xi walked into the courtyard with her phone. After she read the message she sent, she giggled. It's not her fault if she's too charming.

With a smile, he shook his head and was about to return home when his hand was suddenly gripped and he almost cried out in fear. He covered his mouth with his hands, not allowing himself to shout, and turned his head only to look at Qiao Liang. He asked in a low voice, "What are you doing here?"

Qiao Liang hugged him tightly but did not speak. Afraid of being seen with her, Tang Xi looked around and said, “There are people everywhere. I don't want to be seen with you. Let go of me."

"You broke your word." Qiao Liang sounded so sad that Tang Xi suddenly felt guilty. He looked at her as he looked at her and his voice was a bit hoarse as he continued, "You said you'd accompany me to dinner tonight."

Tang Xi felt her grip on her hand gradually tighten. He sighed and whispered, "You know I can't help it."

“You also attracted someone and added a love rival for me,” recriminate Qiao Liang again.

Tang Xi did not know what to say. “It was just their wishful thinking, and they were probably joking. Don't take it seriously, okay?"

“You also laughed at me,” added Qiao Liang.

Tang Xi laughed out loud, glanced at him to the side, and let go of his hand. “Qiao Liang, are you kidding me? You teased me, right?”

Qiao Liang remained flat-faced and said seriously, "Sit down next to me when we have dinner tonight."

Tang Xi stopped and then refused. "That's impossible. With so many people watching, I can't possibly sit next to you.”

Qiao Liang frowned. “Why can't you sit by my side? Sit next to me!”

Tang Xi, looking at her furrowed brows, was unwilling to think about how she was in Long Beach. He felt angry yet guilty, but in the end, he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll see later."

"Sit down next to my mother and I'll sit next to you." Qiao Liang had just finished his words when Yang Jingxian called Tang Xi over for dinner. Tang Xi replied and went back inside. Yang Jingxian asked what she was doing outside. Tang Xi smiled and replied, "I went to answer the phone call."

Xiao Jing curled her lips and said as she snorted, "Liar." Only Xiao Sa who was beside him could hear him, of course.

Seeing Qiao Liang enter, Xiao Sa yelled at him, "Are you also answering the phone outside?"

Qiao Liang stuffed his phone into his pocket and hummed as he walked towards the dining room.

Qiao Yuxin waved at Tang Xi, saying, "Rourou, come and sit beside me."
