After a nap, the two went to the living room together.

Gu Chengxi was playing chess with Gu Hanting. Lin Xiangyun saw her daughter-in-law coming down and went to meet her, pushing Gu Yuanzhou away. "Yanyan, are you thirsty? Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat or drink?"

"I'm a little thirsty and want to drink sour plum soup."

"Okay, I'll ask Aunt Wang to prepare it." Then he shouted to the kitchen, "Aunt Wang, prepare some sour plum soup, Yanyan wants some."

Wang Ma replied loudly, "Okay."

"Let's go, let's sit over there and watch your dad play chess." Lin Xiangyun pulled Li Yanyan and sat next to Gu Chengxi.

Li Yanyan looked at the tense chess game and saw that Gu Chengxi was about to lose.

Gu Hanting smiled, "General! Hahaha, I win again!"

Gu Chengxi sighed, "I've lost three games in a row. I won't play with you anymore."

"One more game, no quitting, can't you afford to lose?" Gu Hanting was still unsatisfied and wanted to play again.

Gu Chengxi stood up and pulled Gu Yuanzhou over. "Brother, go and accompany Dad. I can never beat him. Go and put a damper on Dad's prestige."

Gu Hanting looked at the two of them and said, "Any one of you brothers can come."

So, Gu Yuanzhou sat down and the two of them began to arrange the dishes.

At this time, Aunt Wang came over with sour plum soup. "Madam, the sour plum soup is here."

"Thank you." Li Yanyan finished her glass.

"Would you like another drink, ma'am? I'll go get you another."

"Thank you, Aunt Wang. No thanks."

"Call me if you need anything." Aunt Wang turned and went back to the kitchen.

The game started. Li Yanyan looked at the board. Right from the start, Yuanzhou took his father's cannon and rook. His father frowned and held his forehead.

Lin Xiangyun accidentally saw the diamond ring on her daughter-in-law's hand. Her eyes lit up and she took her hand and asked softly, "Yan Yan, is this... a wedding ring?"

Li Yanyan glanced at Gu Yuanzhou beside her and nodded slightly, "I guess so."

"I remember it wasn't there this morning..." Lin Xiangyun glanced at her son and smiled with relief.

Well, when you get married you should buy a ring for your wife.

Li Yanyan lowered her head slightly, her cheeks slightly red.

Lin Xiangyun took her hand and asked her softly, "Yanyan, can you play chess?"

"A little bit." Li Yanyan looked modest.

In fact, she has been playing chess since junior high school. At that time, Tang Chu'nan didn't like studying and liked to play chess with her classmates in the classroom, which led to a significant decline in her grades.

Aunt Tang asked her to help Tang Chuannan improve his grades, and she agreed.

She watched Tang Chuannan and his classmates play a few games, and then studied for a day. She probably learned it and knew how to beat him.

Then she made a bet with Tang Chuannan. They would play chess. If she won, she would ask him to study hard. If she lost, she would agree to any of his conditions. Tang Chuannan agreed.

At that time, he felt that he would definitely win because he was invincible in the class.

But he lost. He never expected that Yanyan, who had never played chess before, could beat him. He could only accept the defeat and study hard.

"Yan Yan, you are not being modest, are you? Are you very powerful?" Lin Xiangyun's words pulled her away from her memories.

"Mom, I'm not being modest. I really only know a little bit."

Gu Hanting said, "Yanyan, you can play. After I finish playing with Yuanzhou, let's play a game, okay?"

Li Yanyan quickly waved her hands, "Dad, I can't do it."

"How do you know it won't work if you haven't even tried it?"

Before he knew it, Gu Hanting was captured by General Gu Yuanzhou.

Gu Yuanzhou raised his eyes and said, "Dad, you lost."

Gu Chengxi laughed heartily, "Brother, your chess skills have improved a lot, not bad!

Gu Hanting smiled helplessly, "Oh, I was negligent in this game. Yanyan, come, play the next game with me."

"Dad, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it well." Li Yanyan was a little resistant.

Lin Xiangyun smiled and said, "Yanyan, don't be nervous, just play a game with your dad and try it."

Gu Yuanzhou encouraged her from the side: "Yanyan, just think of it as accompanying Dad to have some fun, don't be afraid."

Li Yanyan nodded and said, "Okay, Dad, please don't laugh at me if I don't play well."

So, Gu Hanting and Li Yanyan rearranged the chessboard.

At the beginning, Li Yanyan was a little hesitant and walked very carefully.

But after a few rounds, she gradually got into the state and her thoughts became clearer.

Gu Hanting couldn't help but praise: "Yanyan, you don't look like you only know a little bit."

Li Yanyan smiled sheepishly: "Dad, you're too kind."

Then, Gu Hanting's horse captured her pawn, and she used her chariot to capture his horse, then her cannon, and then her chariot...

At this time, Gu Hanting was a little panicked, "Yanyan, you are quite amazing."

Li Yanyan shook her head slightly, "Dad is just giving in to me."

Gu Yuanzhou watched his wife play chess quietly, his arm around her shoulders.

Gu Hanting looked at the tense chess game and said, "Yanyan, your chess skills are really good."

Li Yanyan chuckled and said, "Dad, don't say that. I'm far worse than you."

The two continued to fight fiercely on the chessboard, and the situation became increasingly tense.

Gu Hanting frowned, thinking about his next move.

Li Yanyan, on the other hand, had a focused expression and a firm gaze.

Gu Hanting hesitated again and again and made a risky move, but it was cleverly resolved by Li Yanyan.

"Oh, Yanyan, I made a wrong move. I need to start over." Gu Hanting picked up the chess piece with regret.

Gu Chengxi held his hand, "Dad, you can't cheat like this. Don't regret your move."

Gu Hanting had no choice but to withdraw his hand and think about what to do next.

In the end, Gu Hanting emerged victorious. He touched the non-existent sweat on his head and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Dad, you win." Li Yanyan said with a smile.

Gu Hanting's lips curled up, "Yan Yan, you really didn't let me go?"

Li Yanyan looked bewildered. "Dad, how could I possibly give in to you? I'm not as skilled as you anyway."

"that's humble."

Gu Hanting could see that Yanyan finally gave in. This daughter-in-law was a good one. She was such a great chess player and she also protected his face.

Han Ting laughed heartily: "Yan Yan, well done, this round was a great game! Let's play another round, and this time you can show your true strength, come on!"

Gu Yuanzhou waved his hand and took her hand, "Dad, Mom, Yanyan and I have something to do and we're leaving first."

"Didn't you say you would stay here for one night? Why are you in such a hurry to leave?" Lin Xiangyun asked.

"I want to spend some time alone with Yanyan." Then, he looked down at her and said, "Yanyan, say goodbye to mom and dad."

Li Yanyan was bewildered. Why did Yuanzhou suddenly want to take her away? But she still waved goodbye to her in-laws, "Dad, Mom, Yuanzhou and I are leaving first."

Lin Xiangyun smiled helplessly: "Alright, you two go enjoy your time together and drive safely."

Gu Hanting was still not satisfied, "Yan Yan, come back and play another game with me next time."

"Okay, Dad." Li Yanyan responded obediently.

Gu Chengxi waved to them with a smile.

Gu Yuanzhou pulled Li Yanyan out of the house and got into the car.

Li Yanyan asked in confusion: "Yuanzhou, why did you say you wanted to leave so suddenly?"

Gu Yuanzhou reached out and held her hand, and said while driving, "I don't want them to disturb us. I want to be alone with you."

"We've spent a lot of time alone together, haven't we?"

"Not enough... Yanyan, do you want to go on a cruise?"

"I've never been on a cruise or traveled overseas."

"So you want to go? Tomorrow, the Princess Sewol will depart from Shanghai, passing through the East China Sea, Taipei, the Dongsha Islands, and dock in Sanya. We'll rest for one night and then return. The journey will last for eight days and seven nights."
