Before Tanya could accept, someone quipped,“If Miss Lin plays, the outcome is anyone’s guess, haha.”
“Exactly! Even if Mr. Sterling is a skilled chess player, winning against Miss Lin might mean neeling on durian husks at home later!”
The comment sparked laughter. Qin Lao, unaware of Tanya and Chase’s relationship, noticed Tanya’s striking appearance, confidence, and compatibility with Chase. He chuckled, teasing Chase, “Oh? I’d like to see if you can maintain that composure against your girlfriend.” Unfazed by the attention, Tanya said to Chase, “I’m not a sore loser. Let’s just play a normal game.”
Chase offered a faint smile.“Alright.”
Someone commented, “They haven’t even started, and they’re already showing off their romance. “Romance aside, Miss Lin is a top–tier PhD graduate. If she says that, her skills must be quite) strong.”
Qin Lao, learning this, said, “So, you’re a PhD, my dear. Excellent choice, young man,” he added to Chase.
Tim rolled his eyes. He’d been about to ask Ashley if she wanted to play, but Tanya had cut him off. He muttered, “Just play, why all the chatter?”
Though his voice was low, Ashley and Zark heard. Ashley smiled faintly. Zark looked at her composed, unfazed expression, feeling reassured.
