บท 411: Eavesdropping

Lyca expected a lot of things in this meeting. She expected her uncle would ask Shen Qui for a fight in the ring. She expected her uncle Wai to ask Shen Qui to try out his new designs. She also expected Uncle Wai's daughter would flirt with Shen Qui.

Lyca's expectations didn't end there. She also expected her grandfather to at least show a little doubt towards Shen Qui.

Oh well! She was wrong.

First and foremost, her grandfather liked her husband. He was laughing with him and seemed to forget that Lyca was still there, dozing off. The older man was in an excellent mood even when they were already eating. In fact, he insisted that Shen Qui sit next to him. Of course, Lyca had to sit next to her husband too.

Then after dinner, the old man asked Shen Qui to play chess against him. The two continued playing chess and ignored everyone else, including Lyca.
