Chapter 961 - The Scary Fiancé
“Hello, Brother Zhai? Are you done with your meeting? Oh, sure, my lessons are over. Sure, let’s meet at the school entrance.”
“Is your fiancé coming to fetch you?” Zou Wenxuan noticed the sweet and gentle look on Qiao Nan’s face.
Qiao Nan put aside her cell phone. “Yes. He has some matters to attend to in the capital recently. His family is here in the capital, but they will leave after a while.”
“…” She had heard of work trip, but she had not heard of cases where the entire family went on a work trip together. “I have to make a trip outside. Shall we walk together?”
She wanted to take a look at Qiao Nan’s fiancé that was said to be better than Senior Gao. She wanted to know how he looked.
“Sure.” Qiao Nan knew what was on Zou Wenxuan’s mind and she made no move to refuse. “Senior Zou, did my former roommates tell you that I have a fiancé? I remember the three of them are members of your club.”
She was just a freshman. There were many other Peking University’s freshmen who were engaged.
If nobody brought it up in front of Senior Zou, she would not be bothered about whether she was engaged or not.
“Yes,” Zou Wenxuan replied. “Your former roommates don’t seem to have a good relationship with one another, especially Lü Yan. She was very frank with me.”
“If not, would I have moved out of the dormitory?” Qiao Nan was not worried that Zou Wenxuan would laugh at her. She wanted Zou Wenxuan to know that since she had moved out of the dormitory, she had no more contact with her former roommates. In the future, Zou Wenxuan should not think of setting designs on Qiao Nan through them. She would not succeed.
Zou Wenxuan flicked her hair, keeping silent.
She would have to try to know whether it worked or not.
By the time Zou Wenxuan and Qiao Nan walked to the school entrance, an impressive Land Rover was already parked there, and standing by its side was a man who stood tall and upright like a poplar. Zou Wenxuan was dazzled. “Qiao Nan, is your fiancé a police officer? His posture looks like he is very disciplined.”
Apart from during the military training, she had never seen people who emanated such an imposing aura. “Hehehe.” Qiao Nan laughed. She did not answer Zou Wenxuan’s question. Instead, she ran toward Zhai Sheng. “Brother Zhai, have you waited for a long time?”
Zhai Sheng had a solemn look on his face. People who saw him would be so scared that they would walk around him. But as soon as he saw Qiao Nan, his expression turned gentle and his eagled-eye gaze softened. It was as if he had changed into a different person.
Zou Wenxuan, who stood by the side, stared at them dumbstruck.
When she first saw Zhai Sheng, Zou Wenxuan had a guilty conscience and was ashamed of herself. In particular, when Zhai Sheng gave her a glance, she had the impression that she had been slashed by a cold knife.
He was such a powerful man. He was like a sharpened sword, like those divine weapons in the television dramas, where one single wield of the sword would cut a single strand of hair easily.
Zou Wenxuan had no wish to get close to Zhai Sheng. Like others, she walked around Zhai Sheng, fearing that she would be hurt if she was too close to him.
However, after Qiao Nan walked toward Zhai Sheng, the sharp blade that could easily split things in half seemed as if had been sheathed in its one and only scabbard. Gone was the dangerous aura that he exuded, and in turn, he became harmless and sincere.
My goodness. Such a man was too dangerous!
Did Qiao Nan not feel pressured and frightened being with such a man?
She always thought that this kind of person only existed in novels. However, she met him in real life!
“Senior Zou, this is my fiancé.” Qiao Nan did not notice that Zou Wenxuan was afraid of Zhai Sheng and wanted to stay as far away from him as possible. She introduced Zhai Sheng to Zou Wenxuan graciously.
Beads of perspiration began to form on Zou Wenxuan’s forehead. “H-how are you? I am Qiao Nan’s senior. I have something on, so I won’t disturb you. Goodbye, Qiao Nan.”
When Zhai Sheng looked at Zou Wenxuan, she jumped and all her hairs stood on end like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. She was only one step from shrieking in fright.
After saying goodbye to Qiao Nan, Zou Wenxuan used her fastest speed to get out of Zhai Sheng’s sight.
Zhai Sheng frowned slightly. “Nan Nan, this person is not an upright person. You must be careful when you have dealings with her in the future. You must not be led astray by her.” She cowered in fright under his gaze. Zhai Sheng did not believe that she was a good person.
Qiao Nan burst out in laughter. “There is no one in this world who is a real saint. Everyone will have schemes and plots. Isn’t it normal to be a little selfish at times?”
Qiao Nan thought of the situation just now. Anyone who had the slightest dark side in them would show their true colors under Zhai Sheng’s piercing and righteous gaze. In particular, for people like Zou Wenxuan who was not mentally strong, one could see through them right away. It worked better than X-rays.
“Alright, it’s good that you know what you are doing. Let’s go back.” Zhai Sheng patted Qiao Nan on her head. He could not be bothered to waste his time on insignificant people.
Qiao Nan sat on the passenger seat and asked, “Shall we make a trip to the Lin family’s house and bring Shi Qing with us?” Ever since Brother Zhai came to the capital, it had been a long time since she had dinner with Shi Qing.
Shi Qing stayed in the capital because Brother Zhai wanted Shi Qing to look after her. However, in the end, she spent time with the Zhai family, leaving Shi Qing alone by herself. Qiao Nan felt bad and guilty toward Shi Qing. There was a glitter in Zhai Sheng’s eyes. “No need. She has gone to the Feng family’s residence today.”
“Is it because of the text message that I sent her? Shi Qing does not seem like she would lose her cool.” Previously, after Old Master Feng called her, Qiao Nan texted Shi Qing about their conversation so that she would know what was going on and would not be the Feng family’s scapegoat.
Qiao Nan did not believe that Shi Qing would tell the Feng family about her current situation.
Zhai Sheng agreed with her. “It’s been so long. Shi Qing certainly has made some progress. She did not take the initiative to look for the Feng family this time. Instead, it was the Feng family who looked for her. You should be able to guess the reason without me telling you.”
“Is it because of me again?” The problem with the Feng family was endless. They had just called her and sowed discord between Shi Qing and her, and the next instant, they fetched Shi Qing back home. It showed that the Feng family had something on their conscience.
“It is more or less that way. It is either due to you or the Zhai family. Right now, if the Feng family wants to be related to the Zhai family, apart from you, the only way will be through Shi Qing and my master.”
