Chapter 1028 - May-December Romance Is Not So Easy
Zhai Sheng and Qiao Nan were engaged. However, it was not true that Qiao Nan had married into a better family than her own. Instead, the pair was extremely compatible.
To put it bluntly, Old Master Zhai looked down on those people who felt that Qiao Nan would gain more in this marriage. This was because they had mistaken the bright pearl for fish eye.
These people could not even differentiate between the good and the bad. As such, they were definitely very muddleheaded in their own conduct and behavior.
Old Master Zhai was still very influential in the Zhai family. Qiao Nan was already in Miao Jing’s favor and Zhai Yaohui had also gradually approved of Qiao Nan. Everyone believed that given the Qiao family’s situation, Qiao Nan would not be able to rely on her maternal family after the marriage. As such, Qiao Nan’s life in the Zhai family would definitely be filled with difficulties. She had to tread on her toes and would be a very miserable daughter-in-law.
Nevertheless, the actual situation was the exact opposite of these people’s thoughts.
“Nan Nan, you have not taken your exams, right?” Miao Jing was a woman and a meticulous one. Furthermore, she liked Qiao Nan. Naturally, she would spare more consideration for Qiao Nan.
“Yes, my exams will be held next month.”
“You must be having your revision at this point in time then.” Miao Jing was shocked. “You have applied for leave to come back?” The situation that day was too chaotic. Finally, Hua Hua was willing to break up with Wei De. Miao Jing almost fainted from joy.
Within one day, her daughter not only fell out of love but also discovered that her lover had been a swindler all along. He had never been true to her.
Miao Jing was afraid that Zhai Hua would have thoughts of suicide. She had thus been keeping Zhai Hua company these few days and did not have time to think about Qiao Nan’s situation.
“Yes, I have applied for ten days of leave.” The principal had given his approval.
Zhai Hua sat up straight and looked at Qiao Nan gratefully. “You have done a lot for me. Although you have just entered college, given your character, your grades definitely did not drop. Don’t worry. I am really fine now. I won’t do anything foolish again. You should go back. Your studies are also very important.”
She was blind to have known such a man. She not only caused her mother to cry but also the old master and her father to be angry. Even Qiao Nan had to spend so much time and effort to take care of her in many ways.
At the thought that she was almost thirty years old but everyone in the family, regardless of their age, cared and protected her, Zhai Hua felt that she was quite useless. At the same time, she understood one thing: Many people loved her and were by her side. She should become more resilient.
She had only fallen out of love. It was not a big deal.
Furthermore, Qiao Nan had also said that discovering Wei De’s true colors before marriage was not a sorrowful matter. Instead, it was something that was worth celebrating.
She had made so many people worried and Qiao Nan sacrificed so much for her. Zhai Hua was too embarrassed to continue in her decadent ways. “Qiao Nan, go back to school. I have really sorted out my thoughts this time. If I bother about that person again, I am a pig!”
“Hua Hua is right. Nan Nan, go back to school. The rest of us are here for Hua Hua.” Miao Jing nodded continuously.
Old Master Zhai snorted. “What’s there to worry about? That piece of shit. Whoever feels sad for him is a pig!”
To Old Master Zhai, when Zhai Hua was willing to beat and chase Wei De out of the house that day, he had wanted very much to put up and light up a string of loud firecrackers at his doorstep to announce his happiness. It could be considered ridding his family of bad luck as well.
The members of the Zhai family were all agreeable for Qiao Nan to return to school. The only one who did not feel too good about this was Zhai Sheng.
Zhai Sheng had just had a taste of meat. He had been yearning for it.
After much difficulty, he had finally kidnapped Qiao Nan back to his home. Zhai Sheng was thinking of how to let Qiao Nan sleep in his own room tonight so that they could get used to marriage life earlier.
They had already discussed the issue of having children. As Zhai Sheng thought about his age, it was not considered too early to have children at this point in time.
Zhai Sheng was not certain if he had ‘planted his seeds’ yesterday. Nevertheless, he could continue to work on it tonight.
When Miao Jing spoke, naturally, some of Zhai Sheng’s ploys were ruined.
Zhai Sheng did not respond despite listening to the conversation for a long time. Zhai Hua secretly peeped at Zhai Sheng and vaguely felt that Zhai Sheng’s face seemed a little pale.
All of a sudden, no one was talking in the spacious living room of the house of the Zhai family. It was so quiet that people were not used to it.
After about three minutes, Zhai Sheng spoke, “Nan Nan, are you ready to go back today or tomorrow? I will buy the flight tickets for you.”
“Why don’t we get the flight ticket for tonight?” Zhai Hua was already in the mood to joke about herself. Without the need for Zhai Hua to say, Qiao Nan was certain that Zhai Hua was fine.
It had been quite difficult to apply for this period of long leave. The sooner she returned to the school, the sooner she could revise for her studies.
“Okay.” Within three breaths of time, Zhai Sheng replied calmly, “I will help you buy the tickets.” Having said that, Zhai Sheng took off with his long legs.
Qiao Nan felt a little unsettled. Was Brother Zhai angry?
Qiao Nan had guessed a little why Zhai Sheng brought her back to the house of the Zhai family.
Moreover, although one had not eaten pork, they would have seen a pig running away.
In her previous life, when Qiao Zijin was close to Chen Jun, she did not come home for a few days. She said that she was staying at the house of ‘a good friend’. They were so sticky to each other. Sometimes, Qiao Nan might not even see Qiao Zijin in the house of the Qiao family for a week.
When Qiao Zijin was not staying in her ‘good friend’s’ house anymore, after just a few days, her mother expressed furiously that Qiao Zijin was pregnant with Chen Jun’s child. She asked Qiao Nan to scram so that Qiao Zijin could take her place.
Regarding this, Qiao Nan was in a dilemma.
In her previous life, her marriage did not even arrive at the point of her death.
In this life, heaven loved her so much. She had not fully grown up but already had a husband. His whole family was also pining for the time when a child would be in her womb.
In the face of such extreme lives, Qiao Nan felt very helpless.
Miao Jing sat beside Qiao Nan and touched the latter’s hair. “Don’t think too much or give yourself too much pressure. Well, Zhai Sheng is the one who wants a May-December romance. He shouldn’t just enjoy the benefits of it. How could May-December romance be so easy?”
Zhai Sheng had chosen a ‘young’ wife. He should have been mentally prepared for such things, no?
Clearly, Qiao Nan was the younger one but she was fully equipped psychologically to take on the role of a military wife. On the contrary, her son was the more ‘sticky’ one. The roles of the two of them were a little reversed.
“Right, that’s correct. Is May-December romance so easy?!” Zhai Hua was so amused. She was troubled about having no man. Zhai Sheng had a wife but he was even more troubled. This was so funny.
Qiao Nan’s face turned red. She did not know whether to laugh or cry when she looked at both Miao Jing and Zhai Hua. This was truly an unreliable pair of mother and daughter.
May-December romance?
Were these two people really Brother Zhai’s biological mother and sister?
At this moment, the other two men in the Zhai family did not utter any word. It was also not convenient for them to do so.
Nevertheless, they wholeheartedly agreed with Miao Jing’s words. Since Zhai Sheng had made his choice of path, he had to persist even if he were to sustain blisters all over his feet.
