Gong Yunfei just looked at Wu Jue with a somewhat sad look in his eyes.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Gong Yunfei's abnormality, Wu Jue felt a little nervous.

Gong Yunfei, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke slowly, "Wu Jue, if one day you find out that I am not the Yun Fei you imagined, will you hate me?"

"Why are you suddenly saying this?" Wu Jue looked at Gong Yunfei with some confusion.

"I just feel that now that I'm going further and further away, it's hard to retain the original simplicity. And I'm afraid that in the future, you will regret doing so much for me." Gong Yunfei whispered softly.

Seeing her sudden sentimentality, Wu Jue didn't think there was anything strange. He just smiled, took Gong Yunfei's hand and said, "No matter what happens in the future, I won't regret it. Why do you have to think too much? Are you too tired?"

Wu Jue's comfort made Gong Yunfei smile, "Wu Jue, I will remember your words and your promise."

"I understand. You take a rest. I will lead Gongsun Zixing to Gong Yunluo's residence."

"Wait!" Gong Yunfei grabbed Wu Jue's hand, "Gong Yunluo, I'll handle it myself. Give me an hour."

After understanding that Gong Yunfei's decision was for him to face the person who had oppressed him for a long time, Wu Jue just nodded and said, "Okay! Be careful."

After seeing Wu Jue off, Gong Yunfei immediately put on a mocking smile, and after packing up a little, he headed towards where Gong Yunluo was.

At this moment, the sky has gradually darkened.

In the Jade Villa, Yuncong had already discussed with Gongsun Ziyun and started to pester Gongsun Zixing, not giving her the opportunity to be alone with Zongzheng Xiaoting. It seemed that she was unreasonable and jealous, which made everyone present a little embarrassed. Gongsun Ziyun maintained her elegance and said to Zongzheng Xiaoting lightly, "Sister Xiaoting, let's go play a game of chess."

Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked at Gongsun Zixing, who was stupefied but still maintained his composure, and suppressed his smile as he said to Gongsun Ziyun, "Alright."

Cooperating to leave the two of them some time alone, Zong Zheng Xiaoting followed Gongsun Ziyun and walked to the bamboo building in the air in the garden. They saw the bamboo building standing in the flower bed, among the clusters of flowers, as if suspended in mid-air, held up by the flowers. The fragrance of flowers filled the air, and under the night sky, the soft moonlight enveloped a layer of faint and soft light, making this bamboo building garden look like a fairyland.

Admiring the beautiful scenery designed by Gongsun Zixing's family, Zong Zheng Xiaoting smiled, "You Gongsun family is really beyond my imagination."

"For example?" Gongsun Ziyun stood with his hands behind his back and pushed open a tightly closed bamboo door. The scene that came into view once again surprised and delighted Zongzheng Xiaoting.

Inside the small door inside the bamboo gate, there is a waterfall-like water pattern made of colored glaze next to the window. At first glance, it looks like a colorful waterfall under the moonlight. On the waterfall-like colored glaze decorative plate is a lotus table carved out of jade. Against the backdrop of the emerald green lotus leaves, a small boat made of warm light yellow jade is seen stranded in it. On the boat, there is an exquisite chessboard.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting stepped into the boat and grabbed the chess piece next to the chessboard. A warm feeling spread into his palm. Being in the boat, he felt a warm current coming. Playing chess in this boat added peace and joy. The smile in his eyes was undisguised. "Like this moment, and like the jade forest in the palace of Luozha Kingdom."

So that's it! Gongsun Ziyun looked at Zongzheng Xiaoting and breathed a sigh of relief. His delicate hand gestures, now folded in front of his chest, showed a sense of vigilance. This made Zongzheng Xiaoting smile slightly, raised his chess piece and then placed it, "Are you on guard against me?"

Gongsun Ziyun stepped into the jade boat, his movements froze for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal. He picked up the white piece and put it down quickly. "My elder brother and Miss Yun are engaged."

Hearing this, Zong Zheng Xiaoting just raised his eyebrows slightly, "So? I see that you don't have the same expectations for her as you should have for your future sister-in-law."

Staring at the chessboard, Zong Zheng Xiaoting couldn't help but smile at Gongsun Ziyun's cautious defense, and then he made his move, pressing forward step by step. "Sometimes, retreating to advance may not necessarily be able to deceive others."

Zong Zheng Xiaoting's words are full of double meanings. It seems that he was inspired by the chess game, but he was actually referring to Gongsun Ziyun's distraction.

After hearing what Zongzheng Xiaoting said, Gongsun Ziyun seemed to understand why this woman made his elder brother marvel. There are indeed many smart women, but few have the same courage as her, and they are even contradictory.

"Big families have their own frustrations. There are many things that cannot be done arbitrarily." Gongsun Ziyun smiled bitterly, looking at the white pieces that were eliminated one by one by Zongzheng Xiaoting, and shook his head slowly, "And my eldest brother, because of his excessive curiosity about Sister Xiaoting, often forgets the responsibilities on his shoulders."

"Are you worried that the truth you want to cover up will be revealed to an outsider like me because of Gongsun Zixing's carelessness?" Zongzheng Xiaoting smiled faintly, and his hand holding the black chess piece hung above the chessboard. Only then did he realize that the chess game of retreating to advance had actually changed differently, from defense to offense!

Zong Zheng Xiaoting raised his lips. He planned and strategized in the front and lured the enemy in the back. This chess game was the real beginning. Gongsun Ziyun's strategy was just like his hidden nature under his elegant smile. It is not unreasonable to know a person by watching his chess.

Gongsun Ziyun just smiled and said nothing. Before he could figure out Zongzheng Xiaoting's intentions, he would be easily moved no matter what he said.

Zong Zheng Xiaoting, on the other hand, continued, "I guess you are all lonely. It is precious to be friends with your heart, and Gongsun Zixing and I only have a heart-to-heart talk."

"Sister Xiaoting, Ziyun didn't mean to question your relationship with Big Brother, but, for Miss Yun..."

"Gongsun Zixing is different from you." Zong Zheng Xiaoting placed the last piece. The chess game was clear and the winner was decided. There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

She stood up and walked out of the jade boat. "Some people, when they are helpless, will find a way to deal with it, while some people will accept their fate but are unwilling to give in."

Not wanting to talk to Gongsun Ziyun any more, Zong Zheng Xiaoting strode out and stopped at the door. "But there are two points I must remind you of. First, before you understand the strength of your opponent, it is unwise to try and rush, which will inevitably lead to failure. Second, if you cannot even make the most basic judgment about your brother, it only proves that you are not capable of accomplishing great things, and you don't even understand what your brother, who seems to be pretending to be weaker than you, really has to bear."

Zong Zheng Xiaoting pushed open the door of the bamboo building with a creak, and bumped into Gongsun Zixing who was standing at the door.
