Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“How is it inappropriate?” There was a flash in Zhai Sheng’s eyes. Qiao Nan reminded herself to keep a distance from Zhai Sheng at all times. Did this mean that Qiao Nan’s heart would fall if she did not maintain her distance? Qiao Nan definitely had feelings for him. That was why she was behaving so strangely.

Qiao Nan moved her mouth awkwardly. She could not possibly tell Zhai Sheng that it was because they were both single. If she were to enter the Zhai family’s house, others might misunderstand their relationship. Qiao Nan felt that she was thinking too highly of herself if she were to say that out loud. In the eyes of everyone else, they would probably guess that Qiao Nan had something to discuss with Zhai Sheng even if she were to spend the night at the Zhai family’s house. There was no way they would link the two of them together.

Since Qiao Nan remained silent, Zhai Sheng said, “Since you can’t give me a reason, I’ll make the decision for you. Let’s go to my house. It’s all thanks to you that Zhai Hua finally came to her senses and that Jiajia is safe and sound. Our family owes you a huge favor.”

Afterward, Zhai Sheng did not even give Qiao Nan a chance to refuse. In the blink of an eye, they had already arrived in front of the Zhai family’s courtyard. That was how Qiao Nan, who was pulling a long face, was dragged off the car by Zhai Sheng, bitterly following Zhai Sheng into the house.

“How did uncle and Auntie Qiao return faster than us?” Jiajia asked incredulously as she alighted from the car.

Zhai Hua smirked. “Your Auntie Qiao is too good at running, and your uncle is afraid that she might run away.” That young brat! He knew how to abuse his power! She had thought that Zhai Sheng had always been indifferent to women outside the Zhai family.

Looking more closely at Qiao Nan, Zhai Hua was still unable to understand how Qiao Nan was special. How had she been able to cause such a drastic change in Zhai Sheng? No matter how much she looked at Qiao Nan, she could not find any extraordinarily attractive or unique traits in Qiao Nan that could have changed Zhai Sheng.

She was just an average woman, except that she was a little older...

“Jiajia, let’s go. We have many rooms here. Pick any that you like.” Miao Jing did not care about Zhai Sheng. As long as Zhai Sheng had a plan and expressed his feelings for Qiao Nan, Miao Jing could not ask for more. The youngsters would settle their own problems. If he wanted to marry a wife, he would have to be more hardworking. No one else would be able to win Qiao Nan over on his behalf.

Miao Jing wanted to bring her granddaughter, Jiajia, away in case her granddaughter interrupted her son chasing after Qiao Nan due to her young age and curiosity. That would be terrible. Therefore, Miao Jing practically bundled her granddaughter up and hurried her to see the rooms.

“Grandma, my clothes are still in the other house.” Jiajia blushed. Everything had happened too suddenly today, and this was her first time staying over at her grandma’s house. As such, there were no clothes for her or Zhai Hua to change into after taking a shower. This worried Jiajia, who had the habit of showering every day.

Along the way, Jiajia had already tried her best not to think about that family. But there were some situations that forced her to think about that family. As a child who had just entered junior high school, what Jiajia had seen today was devastating.

Thankfully, the atmosphere over at the Zhai family was good, and Qiao Nan had comforted her in time. Otherwise, Jiajia was not even sure whether she would have been able to get through the day. When she had first found out that her grandmother’s family was no longer around and that she had been left alone, Jiajia felt as though her whole universe had collapsed.

Her father had betrayed her family, her grandmother’s family had disappeared, and her mother was still in the police station. Jiajia was extremely grateful toward Qiao Nan for being an elder whom she could rely on when she had been at a loss.

Miao Jing scratched her head. “You’ve grown so much, but I haven’t had the chance to buy you any clothes yet. How about we go out to buy some clothes after we have our dinner?” The Zhai family did not lack financially, but they did lack opportunities to spend their money.

“But it’s already so late.” Jiajia blushed. It was a new experience shopping late at night for her own clothes. The Zhai family had inculcated in their children not to leave the house late at night if they had nothing on. Instead, they should stay at home and spend time with their family. Even after Zhai Hua had gotten married, that was what she had taught her daughter.

As such, Jiajia rarely had the chance to go out after dinner.

“That’s all right.” As long as Jiajia was willing to do so, the time did not matter. Miao Jing eyed Qiao Nan. “Your Auntie Qiao brought you over to Ping Cheng and left in a hurry too. I guess she won’t have any clothes with her either. Your Auntie Qiao will have to get some clothes too.” No matter how late it was, Miao Jing was more than happy to buy something for her daughter-in-law.

Whether it was her granddaughter or her daughter-in-law, these were the two people whom Miao Jing had been looking forward to the most in recent years. There was nothing better than being able to buy clothes for the people she had waited an eternity for.

Sitting down with the Zhai family for a meal was enough to make Qiao Nan feel uneasy, but they had even arranged for her to go shopping after dinner! Qiao Nan was extremely reluctant. She could not possibly be such a freeloader. She had already gotten a free meal and free accommodation. She could not expect to get free clothing too!

Zhai Sheng half-pushed and half-carried Qiao Nan into the car. “Just go with them. It’s just as well that you can help Jiajia pick out some clothes. It’s the first time Mom’s buying clothes for Jiajia. I don’t really trust Zhai Hua’s taste. Jiajia is still a child and will only pick the ones that she likes instead of the right ones. It’ll be good for you to be by their sides.”

Qiao Nan flushed red with anger and stared at Zhai Sheng. She very much wanted to tell Zhai Sheng that he had crossed the line. Earlier, Zhai Sheng had practically carried her into the car. Had that not been taking advantage of her? But Qiao Nan did not have the guts to say those words out loud. As such, she could only suppress her anger and berate Zhai Sheng through her gaze.

Zhai Sheng smiled as he met Qiao Nan’s gaze. There was not a hint of guilt in his gaze. In fact, he looked rather pleased with himself. Zhai Sheng had only done so because he knew that Qiao Nan would never speak up to scold him. He was not someone who lived in ancient times anyway. There was no need for unnecessary red tape.

Hugging his wife was what mattered most.

Zhai Sheng was extremely pleased with that hug. His wife looked rather skinny but was so soft in his arms. She felt perfect. Was this what hugging a woman was like?

Although Zhai Sheng had been married once, he had never truly been a bridegroom before. This was Zhai Sheng’s first time hugging a woman.

“Hua Hua, start the car.” Seeing Zhai Sheng’s firm attitude in carrying Qiao Nan to the car, Miao Jing and Zhai Hua were dumbfounded. Just that afternoon, they had been discussing how such a strong Zhai Sheng appeared like a coward in front of Qiao Nan, taking no action at all.
