Chapter 734: 0724 Mmm, impressive

Her chess style became increasingly forceful, and it seemed that Su Ran was being pressured into a constant retreat.

Fu Qixiu’s expression grew serious as he watched his unshakable elder brother and couldn’t help saying:

"Bro, why didn’t you advise sister-in-law just now? You even let her make such a bet with Grandpa. If sister-in-law loses, you won’t have a wife anymore!"

Fu Qiyuan glanced at him and said indifferently, "Do you think your sister-in-law will lose?"

Fu Qixiu: "..."

Did he even need to think about it?

The situation was right there.

But he still thought over his words carefully and said, "Although I don’t want sister-in-law to lose either, Chu Xiyao has been learning Go since she was young. You are surely aware of her skill. Sister-in-law has little chance of winning against her!"

Fu Qiyuan frowned at his brother, "I really shouldn’t have any expectations for you!"

Feeling looked down upon by his own brother, Fu Qixiu was momentarily stunned, "What the hell, bro, what do you mean?"

"See for yourself."

At that, Fu Qixiu looked at the Go board once more.

Yeah, he was certain that he still didn’t understand!

It was a mess; his sister-in-law barely had any live stones left!

He poked his own brother, then pointed at the board.

"Bro, with it like this, you can’t possibly still think sister-in-law can win, can you?"

Fu Qiyuan nodded as if it were only natural, "Of course."

Fu Qixiu’s lips twitched slightly, "Where does this confidence come from?"

Fu Qiyuan: "Your sister-in-law gave it to me."

Fu Qixiu, struck by a double blow: "..."

Could they spread dog food even in this situation?

Let’s see how you show off when you lose your wife!

Back on the board, Su Ran was still trailing behind.

Old Master Fu watched Su Ran with increased smugness on his face.

But five minutes later, Chu Xiyao’s sharp style of play gradually slowed down.

On the other hand, the always steady Su Ran started her aggressive and domineering offense.

Almost the instant a white stone was placed, her black stone followed swiftly.

Chu Xiyao’s face turned somewhat pale, and her expression grew tense.

Old Master Fu’s smug expression also became more serious as he leaned closer to the board, his shrewd eyes filled with earnestness and caution.

The black stones on the board had begun to echo each other from all directions, and what were originally dead stones had all been reversed.

The atmosphere at the scene was extremely oppressive.

The time Chu Xiyao took to make a move went from one minute at the beginning to two minutes, then three, five...

Until in the end, Su Ran blocked all her paths, leaving her no stones to play!

With a clang, a white stone was placed on the board!

Su Ran turned the tables against the wind and won!

"..."

"..."

Everyone was a bit too shocked to recover!

Seeing this, Fu Qixiu was dumbfounded, with an expression as if he had seen a ghost.

"What? She actually won? Are you kidding me?"

You should know that even according to current artificial intelligence, opening with a move at the central point (Tianyuan) only has a forty percent win rate.

His sister-in-law, "not an expert" in Go, made her opening at Tianyuan, and she actually won in the end?

This wasn’t just defying the heavens; it was practically ascending to them!

At the moment Chu Xiyao "admitted defeat," Su Ran turned to look at the man beside her, her eyes sparkling.

"Fu Qiyuan, am I amazing or not? Tell me, am I amazing?!"

Fu Qiyuan stroked her head, his face filled with adoration as he said:

"Yes, amazing!"

"..."

"..."

Fu Qixiu clutched his injured little heart, looking at the two utterly inhumane people.

"Dear brother, dear sister-in-law, now is not the time to flaunt your love!"

Upon hearing this, Su Ran turned her head and saw the dazed expression on Chu Xiyao’s face, and Old Master Fu’s ugly countenance.

She raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "The honor is yours. For the matters that follow, I’ll have to trouble Old Master Fu!"

Fu Qixiu: "..."

I wanted you to assess the situation, not to add fuel to the fire, hey!

Old Master Fu was so angry that his beard bristled and his eyes bulged; he stared at Su Ran and said sternly:

"Are you sure you’re not skilled?"

Su Ran nodded, "Sure!"

Old Master Fu snorted coldly, his stern expression turning dark.

"Stop lying. Even Xiyao, who has been learning Go since childhood, can’t beat you. Do you really have the nerve to say you’re not skilled? Don’t play dumb with me!"

Fu Qixiu watched as the Old Master Fu insisted on being unreasonable and refusing to acknowledge the facts. He couldn’t help but interject again:

"The one who started learning Go since childhood can’t even beat my sister-in-law who claims to be ’not skilled.’ Grandpa, do you really feel proud boasting about how ’the pupil surpasses the master’? She lost, and she lost fair and square. Can’t you be a little more generous?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Xiyao’s pale complexion suddenly changed.

She clenched her teeth tightly, completely unable to accept this outcome!

She couldn’t accept that she had personally lost to Qi Yuan, nor could she accept losing to the woman across from her!

Veins were faintly visible on Old Master Fu’s forehead. To avoid upsetting his own grandson, Su Ran covertly gave Fu Qixiu a look before she spoke up:

"Compared to Miss Chu, who has been learning Go since childhood, I, who only came into contact with Go in college, truly can’t be considered very skilled!

Besides, surely Old Master Fu hasn’t forgotten? It was you who proposed the game of Go, you who set the terms, and you who insisted Miss Chu play against me. I did not coerce or force her; from the very beginning, I was merely compliant! Why am I at fault in the end?"

Looking at Su Ran’s innocent face, Old Master Fu’s complexion turned ashen.

"Are you saying you didn’t plan all this from the start?"

Now, Su Ran’s expression became even more innocent, "Am I prescient or a fortune-teller? Did I know you would ask me to play Go? Or could I guess what’s on your mind?"

Old Master Fu knew it wasn’t possible, but he was still deeply frustrated and let out a cold chuckle.

"Since you know you’re not skilled, how dare you accept my conditions? Aren’t you afraid of actually losing Qi Yuan?"

Hearing this, Su Ran turned her head and looked at Fu Qiyuan.

Fu Qiyuan gently rubbed her head and said softly:

"Losing doesn’t matter."

Old Master Fu was immediately furious, "How can it not matter? She frivolously used you as a bet, clearly not taking you seriously. Have you ever thought about what would happen if she really lost?"

Fu Qiyuan replied expressionlessly, "If I lose, I’ll just win myself back and give myself to her!"

"You..."

"Pff——"

Fu Qixiu couldn’t help but burst into laughter. What an answer from his brother! It was simply brilliant!

Chu Xiyao’s face suddenly turned grim. In order to protect this woman, Qi Yuan had already lost his reason.

She must accelerate her own plans!

Soon, her face regained its usual pride and detachment.

Today, it was her underestimation of the opponent that led to her mistake; there would definitely not be a next time!

Old Master Fu, angered, pointed at Fu Qiyuan, "You protect her like this; I think you’re completely bewitched!"

Yet Fu Qiyuan said indifferently, "If I don’t protect my own wife, am I to wait for others to do it for me?"

"You..."

"Also, Xiao Ran has already won." Fu Qiyuan added.

"..." Old Master Fu was so angry that his eyes almost popped out.

She had won; did they have to keep reminding him over and over again?

These two unfilial offspring!

Fu Qiyuan, with Su Ran in his arms, got up, and at this time, a servant came forward.

"Old Master Fu, the Eldest Young Master, Second Young Master, lunch is ready!"

Old Master Fu also stood up and snorted lightly.

"Then let’s have lunch!"

"Yes."
