Shen City Inner City, second-floor private room in the City Lord's Mansion.
Li Chaolu lay languidly on the dining table, groaning weakly.
"Sister Wanqing, how long do we have to stay here..."
However, on the other side, Li Wanqing didn't respond immediately to Li Chaolu's groaning. Instead, she sat upright at the dining table, her eyes slightly narrowed, tapping her fingers on the table, lost in deep thought.
It took a long time, so much so that Li Chaolu had started practicing holding her breath out of boredom, creating a vacuum inside herself, before hearing the crisp sound of a chess piece falling on the board.
Li Wanqing gently lifted her right hand, her index and middle fingers still pressed together, her brow tightly furrowed in worry.
Before she could catch her breath, the sound of another piece being placed resounded on the board.
A man's faint voice said, "Won."
