Beloved One of the Prestigious Household-Chapter 201: Great-Grandpa Also Lost!

Great-grandpa listened to Little One’s sweet words and couldn’t help but want to hug her; she was too cute! He chuckled happily, "I won’t ask you for it. Haha, this is Ann’s treasure. How could I bear to take away Ann’s treasure?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Sui’an relaxed and then happily raised her little hand, generously saying, "Show it to great-grandpa!"

"Haha, alright!" Great-grandpa didn’t refuse. He moved closer, his eyes almost touching the pair of silver bracelets.

He could feel the spiritual energy emanating from the silver bracelets, counteracting the Yin energy inherent in his soul.

After observing up close, great-grandpa straightened up, stroked his beard, and muttered to himself, "Truly amazing. I’ve lived for so long, even after death, and I still haven’t come across such a special pair of silver bracelets."

Qin Sui’an heard what great-grandpa said but didn’t quite understand. She raised her round eyes in confusion, "Why is great-grandpa so interested in Ann’s silver bracelets?"

Although great-grandpa had pondered her silver bracelets before, it was never as intense as today, where he started examining them shortly after meeting.

Great-grandpa said, "Oh, it’s nothing. I’m just worried that wearing these silver bracelets for too long might have a negative impact on you."

Qin Sui’an defended her silver bracelets, "No way! The silver bracelets are very obedient!"

"Haha..." Great-grandpa laughed heartily. "Yes, yes, Ann’s silver bracelets are as obedient as Ann herself."

He didn’t dwell on the issue of the silver bracelets and floated over to the other side of Little One, glancing at the chessboard. "Ann, why don’t you call your brothers to play with you?" 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Qin Sui’an shook her head slightly, "No."

She didn’t want to explicitly say that playing chess with her brothers was a bit tiring. She could win, but she didn’t want to win, yet it was difficult to lose. And Ann’s brothers also felt her dilemma. Over time, they stopped insisting on playing chess with her, letting her play by herself.

Although it might sound pitiful, Qin Sui’an was very happy playing by herself. Playing against herself challenged her to think about how to move and block, which was very stimulating.

Great-grandpa thought for a moment and roughly guessed, "Ah, in our Qin family, Ann is the smartest, and everyone else is dumb! They can’t even play such a simple game of chess well."

"They’re not dumb; my brothers are also smart." Qin Sui’an immediately retorted, "Great-grandpa, you can’t scold my brothers."

"Oh, I wasn’t scolding; I was just saying." Great-grandpa quickly changed the subject to avoid upsetting Little One, "Ann, let me play chess with you."

Qin Sui’an was very willing and nodded her little head, "Okay~"

She skillfully restored the chessboard to its initial state and said, "Great-grandpa first~"

Great-grandpa rolled up his sleeves with seriousness, "Alright, I’ll be serious. You’re my great-granddaughter after all; I won’t go easy on you."

"Don’t go easy on Ann!" Qin Sui’an said expectantly, her eyes shining with excitement, and her little hands involuntarily moved, "Great-grandpa, where are you going?"

Great-grandpa pondered for a few seconds with a solemn expression before carefully instructing Little One to move a chess piece.

In the chess room, two generations apart, the great-grandfather and great-granddaughter began their game of Chinese chess.

In the living room, a strange and eerie silence prevailed. Everyone had watched the surveillance footage and heard Little One’s words loud and clear.

Qin Fujia suddenly felt the gaze of others on him. He calmly twisted the prayer beads in his hand. "As you all saw, Great-grandpa came to see Ann again."

Old Master Qin gasped, "Again?!"

The "Great-grandpa" they referred to was his deceased father.

Old Master Qin recalled how he had frequently dreamt of his father, and each time, his father urged him to burn more paper money, saying that the expenses in the underworld were high. The last time he dreamt of his father, Old Master Qin still remembered vividly that his father had joyfully mentioned the birth of a granddaughter in the Qin family.

So those dreams weren’t just dreams? His father was really visiting him in his dreams!

And now, his father even went directly to see his granddaughter, and not just once.

Although he was his own father, Old Master Qin couldn’t help but worry. He lowered his voice and asked, "Fujia, they say there’s a separation between yin and yang. Will Great-grandpa’s visits to Ann affect her?"

Qin Fujia shook his head reassuringly. "Grandfather, don’t worry. I gave Ann a talisman; it won’t affect her."

Only then did Old Master Qin relax. "That’s good."

Then, he wrinkled his brows and looked around at his grandchildren. "Has Great-grandpa ever come to see any of you?"

"Far from it. I’ve never dreamt of him," Qin Qianyi rubbed his chin. "Does Great-grandpa not know he has several great-grandsons?"

Qin Yaoyu, being insightful, said, "He probably knows but doesn’t want to deal with us."

Qin Qianyi placed a hand over his heart. "Brother, that hurts."

Great-grandpa passed away early, and the grandchildren had no memory of him. They couldn’t help but suspect that Great-grandpa favored granddaughters over grandsons.

Old Madam Qin chuckled as she watched the surveillance. "As long as it doesn’t affect Ann, it’s fine. Look, Great-grandpa’s chess skills are much better than yours; Ann is having so much fun."

Indeed, everyone present, including Qin Haochen, couldn’t provide Ann, the little one, with a satisfying game of chess. Every time, Ann had to figure out a way to go easy on them.

Now that Great-grandpa was here, Ann could finally enjoy a good game of chess without worrying about her opponent’s skill level being too weak.

Old Madam Qin’s words redirected everyone’s attention back to the surveillance.

After nearly twenty minutes of playing, Great-grandpa sighed first.

"Ann is indeed the smartest person in the Qin family. I can’t even match Ann," Great-grandpa waved his hand. "I lost."

Qin Sui’an’s face lit up with excitement. "Great-grandpa, Ann wants to play more~"

Playing chess with Great-grandpa was so much fun! They could play for a long, long time~

"Oh, this is addictive," Great-grandpa chuckled. He couldn’t bear to refuse her. "Alright, let’s have another round. Ann, don’t go easy on me, or I won’t play chess with you in the future."

Qin Sui’an immediately said in a childish voice, "I won’t~ Ann will play seriously!"

Her little hands swiftly reset the chessboard, and a new game began.

This time, before even fifteen minutes had passed, Great-grandpa lost again.

He covered his face, "It’s over; I need to go back and seriously work on my chess skills."

Qin Sui’an comforted him, "Great-grandpa, don’t be sad~"

Great-grandpa perked up again. "Ann, next time, I definitely won’t lose to you."

He paused and reassured himself, "I definitely won’t lose to you so quickly next time."
