Ruan Qi was completely embarrassed by her grandfather's teasing.
However, fortunately, Grandpa Ruan also cared about his granddaughter and didn't have the heart to truly bully her to the point of tears, so after a couple of teasing remarks, he focused back on the chessboard.
The evening passed quickly with Xi Jiu and Grandpa Ruan's back-and-forth, and by the time they finished the last game of chess, it was already almost nine o'clock.
Ruan Fengmian had long since returned from his walk. After washing up in the bedroom, he waited and waited, finally unable to hold back as he began to send people off.
"It's nine o'clock, Xiao Xi should go home."
Upon hearing this, Grandpa Ruan quickly raised his head to look at the clock on the wall, surprised, "It's nine o'clock already?" Saying this, he glanced out the window, "It's dark already."
