Hidden Marriage, Overbearing Love: Mr! Please Let Me Go Chapter 1350 - 1354: Wait for Yao to Return Before Deciding

"Then wait until Yao comes back to make a decision!" The old man didn’t force Xia Qingqian, but he firmly asked her to accept: "This pair of bracelets, keep them with you for now, help grandpa manage them temporarily, can you?"

"Is this appropriate?" Xia Qingqian raised her eyes to look at the old man, feeling a bit uncertain, she asked.

"There’s nothing inappropriate about it. If you can’t decide, then wait until Yao comes back to decide, okay?" The old man smiled kindly, "Child, for grandpa’s sake, keep this safely for now. Let Yao help you make the decision when he returns."

At this point, refusing further would be unreasonable, Xia Qingqian felt she couldn’t turn it down, so she nodded and accepted it, "Grandpa, thank you, I will keep this pair of bracelets safe for you."

Seeing Xia Qingqian accept the bracelets, the old man’s smile instantly crinkled to his eyes, nodding and smiling, "Girl, come sit here and chat with grandpa. When Yao was around, whether I called or sent the butler to invite him, he would rarely agree to bring you over to have a meal or chat with me."

Xia Qingqian felt a pang of guilt, slowly took her seat, her voice full of apology: "Grandpa, I’m sorry."

"It’s not your fault, it’s Yao who is reluctant to let you leave the villa. Qian Qian, don’t worry, with grandpa here, no one in the family would misbehave." The old man personally poured Xia Qingqian a cup of tea, speaking softly, "Grandpa’s hobbies on usual days, besides brewing tea, playing chess, and growing flowers, aren’t much else."

"In the past, Yao would accompany me in playing chess. Since he left, I haven’t played chess anymore. I wonder if the girl has any interest in playing a game with me?"

"Grandpa, I only know how to play Chinese chess, I don’t understand anything else..." Qiao Zhenyu’s hobby was also playing Chinese chess. Every weekend, he would take her to the park to play chess with some elderly people.

During those times, she was the happiest. Every weekend, she could work part-time alongside him, she could enjoy a wonderful weekend with him.

"Grandpa’s favorite is Chinese chess. Sit here first, grandpa will go get the chess set." The old man listened and started laughing, took a sip of tea, feeling refreshed, got up and walked towards the safe.

Xia Qingqian nodded and smiled, watching the old man’s figure, she smiled knowingly until the old man came over with a box, laid out the chess pieces. Xia Qingqian looked at it in some surprise, "Grandpa, may I ask, is this set of chess left over from the Kangxi era?"

Shouldn’t this set be displayed in the national museum? Why is it in grandpa’s hands?

"Girl, you have quite the keen eye!" The old man’s hands fiddling with the pieces paused, looking at Xia Qingqian with shining eyes, a glimmer of admiration overflowing in them: "Everyone has seen this chess set, but doesn’t know its origin, let alone its age. Girl, how did you know?" And you recognized it at a glance. Back then, at the private auction, he was deeply attracted by this set, hesitated for a long time whether it was genuine or not, later inviting three appraisers to confirm its authenticity.

He has played Chinese chess all his life, his insight couldn’t compare to this girl’s sharpness. He was rather smug earlier, thinking that after a lifetime of dealing with Chinese chess, he certainly wouldn’t lose to this young girl, but upon hearing her question, he realized, this opponent is not to be underestimated.
