Chapter 413: Prepare for the Wedding (1)
“I lost.” Zuo Yi sat up straight as he said to Shi Le.
Shi Nuannuan was not very familiar with chess, but she knew that a person would lose the game if his general could not escape.
So, at this moment, Shi Nuannuan could not help but have a joyous expression on her face. It seemed as though her grandfather had won the game! That meant that her brother and Zuo Weiyi could finally hold a wedding then!
Zuo Weiyi subconsciously glanced at Zuo Yi’s face.
She was filled with confusion as she stared at the expression on his face.
‘Grandpa… why did you deliberately lose to him?’
Was it because he wanted to allow her to be together with Shi Yuting?
“Old man, it seems as though your chess skills are no longer as good now that you are already old!” Shi Le could not help but speak with a smug look on his face.
However, Zuo Yi simply glanced at his with a look of contempt and disgust on his face.
“Pfft!”
After he was done speaking, he got up and left the chess table.
“Now, let’s decide on a date.” Zuo Yi walked toward the sofa before he sat down and called out to Uncle Yu, “Yu, get a calendar for me. I want to pick their wedding date!”
“Why are you the one deciding their wedding date?” At this time, Shi Le followed behind him with a look of dissatisfaction on his face.
Zuo Yi raised his eyes to look at Shi Le with a squint.
“Do you have any opinion?”
“Of course, I have my opinions!”
“Your protest is invalid!”
“Zuo Yi!”
However, Zuo Yi completely ignored the look of anger on Shi Le’s face as he took over the calendar from Uncle Yu’s hand and began to look at it.
“Just set the wedding on Christmas Eve then!”
Zuo Yi decided on the date as soon as he took the calendar in his hand.
Christmas Eve? Wouldn’t that be next month then?
Perfect! Shi Nuannuan was very happy.
After that, she could not help but say excitedly, “Mr. President, since we have already set the wedding date, then… does that mean that Weiyi can come and live in the Shi family mansion today?”
“No!” Zuo Yi refused immediately.
His granddaughter would only really belong to someone else next month. Of course, he would have to keep his precious granddaughter by his side for the last month then!
Shi Nuannuan smiled but did not say anything else.
“Since the wedding date has already been set, then let’s go back and make all the necessary preparations first,” Shi Le replied as he stood up.
He also wanted to hold a beautiful and glamorous wedding for his grandson. After all, he was also a person who really cared about his image and reputation.

That night, after dinner, Zuo Weiyi could not help but lean against Zuo Yi as she held his arm on the sofa.
“Grandpa, you could obviously win the game of chess earlier this afternoon, so why…”
Zuo Yi raised his eyes to look at Zuo Weiyi.
After that, he sighed as he said, “Your grandpa does not want to win anymore.”
“Why?” Zuo Weiyi had a confused expression as she looked up at his side profile.
“Back then, if I had not won the game of chess, your grandmother would not have ended up alone for a lifetime then.”
Zuo Weiyi raised her brows as she did not understand the meaning behind his words. She finally understood what he was saying when Zuo Yi explained the game of chess that happened between him and Shi Le more than forty years ago.
“If your grandmother got together with that old man in the past, she possibly would not have been so sad for the rest of her life.”
Zuo Weiyi could not help but feel a little surprised when she heard this.
It turned out that both Shi Le and her grandfather used to like her grandmother at the same time.
However, how could they simply decide who her grandmother would belong to with just a single game of chess? She was not just an item…
Zuo Yi seemed to see right through her thoughts and he said, “Grandpa used to be very strong back then. I only accepted that old man’s challenge just so that he would give up completely. Moreover, I already knew that I would definitely win that game back then.”
“So, you deliberately lost the chess game earlier this afternoon because…” Zuo Weiyi hesitated for a moment.
Zuo Yi turned around and looked at her with affection in his eyes.
