Free Web NovelChapter 1254: Chapter 1268: Feeling Disheartened
"You don’t need to worry about this, it’s all been handled by my assistant officer. Invitations have already been sent out, and the outfits for the family on that day are all prepared. Just arrange the old house the day before."
Discussing these matters, Lin Weidong couldn’t help but feel proud, convinced that the Old Mr. Lin couldn’t find any flaws this time.
Unexpectedly, the Old Mr. Lin still spoke with displeasure, "Are you marrying off your daughter or is your assistant officer?"
Lin Weidong: "..."
He remembered that when he got married, it was the officer who handled everything completely. Why was using the officer now like he committed some unpardonable crime?
Just as he was about to retort, Jiang Xinru discreetly pulled him, then said to the Old Mr. Lin, "Father, I’ll go check on dinner."
The Old Mr. Lin nodded in satisfaction.
Jiang Xinru then said to Xiao Xiao, "Xiao Xiao, if you have any dietary preferences or want anything, you can tell me."
Xiao Xiao hurriedly stood up, "Aunt, don’t worry about me, I don’t have any dietary restrictions."
"Alright, you all chat with Grandpa, I’ll take a look in the kitchen."
Watching his wife leave, Lin Weidong also stood up, "Nan, you and Xiao Xiao chat with Grandpa, I’ll go handle some documents today."
With that, he went upstairs as well.
Seeing the two leave, the Old Mr. Lin nodded with satisfaction and took out his chess set, "Xiao Xiao, can you play chess? Want to play a game with Grandpa?"
"Ah? Grandpa, I don’t really know how," she could play Gomoku, military chess, and draughts, but she had never tried playing chess.
The Old Mr. Lin’s eyes flashed upon hearing this, Lin Ruonan quickly tidied up the table, suppressing a smile on her lips, "It’s okay if you don’t know, Grandpa can teach you. My chess skills were taught by Grandpa."
"But I’ve never played this," Xiao Xiao tugged at Lin Ruonan’s sleeve, she wasn’t even at the level of a bad chess player, can she really do this?
Lin Ruonan gave her a reassuring look, "Don’t worry, Grandpa is very patient."
"Yes, Xiao Xiao, don’t worry. I taught Nan how to play, and if you stay here for a few days, Grandpa guarantees to train you into a professional player."
As the Old Mr. Lin said this, he was already setting up the pieces, Xiao Xiao had no choice but to pick up the red pieces, placing them in her position.
Lin Ruonan took out her phone, snapped a photo, and sent it with a message: "Person delivered, when will they return?"
In the afternoon of October, the air was filled with a rolling heat wave, but compared to Nan’an, October in the Imperial City was quite comfortable.
Lin Junyang was leaning against the horizontal bar, watching his teammates running energetically in circles far away, feeling a chill in his heart.
At this moment, his upright and impartial captain had probably seen his little wife, and might take advantage of this blazing afternoon to drive his luxury Hummer, taking his little wife to a scenic spot to test the shock absorption of his new car and the visibility of its bulletproof glass.
And himself? He, who once bowed his head to the ground with his brothers, could only watch these rough men sweat profusely here, standing guard this last post for him.
He wondered where Xiao Xiao was now? Being such a third wheel, would Second Brother despise her? Might she decide never to come back to the Imperial City again? Or impulsively book a ticket back to Nan’an?
Thinking of this, Lin Junyang suddenly stood up straight, quickly pulling out his phone.
