My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Chapter 624 King Residence

This time, Ouyang Duo didn’t need to wait for an hour to see Nan Zhengde upon arriving at the Nan Residence.

Nan Zhengde had asked his housekeeper to set a chair in the garden, and there he was, bathing in the sunlight as he sat on the chair.

There was a small wooden table placed beside him, and atop the table was a chessboard as well as a pot of tea.

Seeing that Ouyang Duo had arrived, Nan Zhengde motioned for his housekeeper to bring an extra chair, a teacup, and a plate of snacks.

“You look like you’re in a good mood, Mr. Nan. Are you playing chess alone?” asked Ouyang Duo with a smile.

“People often assume that chess involves two players competing with one another, but when you’re playing alone, you tend to see things clearer.”

“Oh? That’s quite an interesting perception you have there, Mr. Nan. However, chess is used to determine victory. Only when two people compete can there be a loser and a winner. Can you see who’s the winner just by playing on your own?”

“That’s just a misconception. People tend to think that losing is an embarrassment, but that’s not the case. A person who’s truly powerful won’t lose to anyone else, and if they do lose, it would be to themselves. Except for one’s own self, no one in this world can truly beat us. Hence, life is just like chess. The person you’re competing with is actually yourself.”

A smile played on Nan Zhengde’s lips as he took a sip of tea and glanced at Ouyang Duo.

Similarly, Ouyang Duo was also observing the older man.

Regardless of how open-minded and forgiving he is, I doubt he’d be so calm and collected if he found out about Nan Chen’s death. It seems like he doesn’t know yet, so this makes things much easier for me.

“You’re very wise, Mr. Nan. However, I’m just an ordinary person and only know how to compete, for I have little understanding of such profound theories. In my opinion, a loss is a loss, and a win is a win. One must acknowledge both their wins and losses. If the loser doesn’t acknowledge the fact that they’ve lost, then the winner wouldn’t be able to feel happy about their win. In that case, what is there to live for?” queried Ouyang Duo.
