Chapter 1081 To Be Siblings If Not Husband and Wife

After grandfather had spoken, Brother Zhai reduced the quantity. However, he increased the quality too viciously and also the duration!!!

Fortunately, all thanks to Old Master Zhai’s words, Qiao Nan’s ‘exercises’ lessened by a lot. She had more time for sleeping then.

On the second day, it was rare that Qiao Nan, who was already used to the constant ‘torture’ by Zhai Sheng, could sleep for an additional two hours. She was thus feeling energized. Just as how Shi Qing would put it, she seemed to be shining all over.

“See no evil!” Shi Qing covered her eyes. “Qiao Nan, are you too immersed in happiness now? You’re just short of writing ‘happiness’ on your face. You have to know. Your expression is causing a great amount of hurt to singles like us.”

At the sight of Qiao Nan looking so happy, the boyish Shi Qing expressed jealously that she also hoped that she could find a man that she liked so that she could go on a romantic date.

“Put in more effort to part with singlehood then.” Qiao Nan pursed her lips in an attempt to suppress the corners of her lips that could not help curling up. “What is happening between Zhu Baoguo and you?”

“Ah! What do you mean?” Shi Qing jumped and exclaimed.

Qiao Nan laughed madly. “Hahaha, I didn’t even say anything. I am just asking... How is your relationship with Zhu Baoguo as classmates recently? Do you have to be so emotional? You’re admitting to it yourself. Did I step on your tail?”

Qiao Nan was completely having a blind guess with these words.

After transferring to PLA National Defence University, Shi Qing and Qiao Nan had never stopped contacting each other. They would call each other at least once a week, not to mention that the two young ladies were ‘trendsetters’ who had cell phones in their possession.

On the contrary, Zhu Baoguo, who used to stick to Qiao Nan so badly in the past, seemed to have grown up. For six months, Qiao Nan did not receive any phone call or letter from Zhu Baoguo.

Fortunately, there was Shi Qing. Each time they had a phone conversation, six to seven out of Shi Qing’s ten sentences were related to Zhu Baoguo.

Hence, although Zhu Baoguo had never contacted Qiao Nan, Qiao Nan was not unfamiliar with Zhu Baoguo’s situation.

Unknowingly, a woman’s topics of conversation were always revolving around another man.

If Qiao Nan, who had been through two lifetimes, did not realize anything, she should really be reborn again.

In particular, Shi Qing’s current reaction made Qiao Nan more certain that something was happening between these two people. Otherwise, why would Shi Qing react so strongly?

Shi Qing touched her face. Her pair of eyes was looking all around but Qiao Nan’s eyes. “Don’t talk nonsense. Zhu Baoguo is such a weak shrimp. Will I fancy him?”

“Weak shrimp?” Qiao Nan raised her brows. “Why did I hear from others that you have been defeated by Zhu Baoguo? You even did various sneak attacks on him but did not succeed each time. He defeats you every time.”

Qiao Nan felt that Zhu Baoguo was most probably the only one who could tolerate Shi Qing’s temper.

Take Zhai Hua as an example. For these two ladies, Qiao Nan felt that their partners had to either use gentleness to counter their toughness or use extreme physical force to defeat them.

Zhu Baoguo was obviously in the second situation. At the thought that Zhai Hua was going to ‘marry’ Tian Dong and if the two were really together, Qiao Nan wondered whether Tian Dong would be in the first kind of situation.

It was only many years later that Qiao Nan understood one thing. As a man, they always liked to be the ‘number two’. They were more willing to leave the ‘number one’ to women.

Shi Qing jumped in shock. “Heard? Where did you hear that from? Who said that?” If she were to find out who told Qiao Nan these things, she would peel the skin of the other party!

“Hahaha.” Qiao Nan was overjoyed. “Why do you care who told me this? You just need to tell me. Is there a problem with my understanding? Is this the truth? That will do.”

Shi Qing and Zhu Baoguo fought with each other when they first met each other. Now, they were still fighting with each other after a few years. Was this the momentum of loving and killing each other?

“I... I am not talking to you anymore. I can’t clarify this.” Shi Qing had never been Qiao Nan’s match in arguments. Furthermore, Qiao Nan was speaking the truth. Shi Qing, who had been caught red-handed, had a knot in her brains. She wanted to weave a lie but her mind was blank and completely useless. She could only concede defeat and steer away from the topic.

Thereafter, Shi Qing calmed down and asked herself. Why did she have to avoid Qiao Nan’s question? That attitude was as if there was really something going on between Zhu Baoguo and her. Why was she feeling so guilty-conscious?

The wedding preparations of Zhai Sheng and Qiao Nan had been ongoing for about six months. Many things had already been settled.

Zhai Sheng would be marrying Qiao Nan on the eighth day of Lunar New Year. Zhu Chengqi felt that since there were only three days left to the date, Qiao Nan could stay at the house of the Zhu family.

In the past, Zhai Sheng had believed that Qiao Dongliang, his father-in-law, was the greatest obstruction to him marrying a wife. With Zhu Chengqi’s appearance, he then knew that the vicious character appeared later on.

Qiao Dongliang had been focusing on Qiao Zijin. Of course, he did not continue to make things difficult for Zhai Sheng or feel that he was snatching his daughter away from him.

Qiao Dongliang did not feel that way but Zhu Chengqi did.

Qiao Nan was just a first-year college student. Each time Zhu Chengqi thought of this, he felt very uneasy. He felt that Zhai Sheng was shameless to have hit on Qiao Nan when she was so young.

One desperately wanted to bring his daughter home while the other wanted his wife to remain in his house. This pair of father and son-in-law was fighting head-on.

In the end, Old Master Zhai said that Zhu Chengqi could fetch Qiao Nan over to the house of the Zhu family on the night of the fourth day of Lunar New Year. Zhai Sheng was so furious that his face turned sullen instantly.

Old Master Zhai laughed. If he did not allow his granddaughter-in-law to go to the house of the Zhu family, his granddaughter-in-law would most likely continue to have panda eyes until the day of her wedding banquet.

His grandson was good in all ways but he was too young and full of stamina. He also lacked a little self-control.

Zhai Sheng did not know what Old Master Zhai was planning in his mind. Whether he was aware or not, the outcome was the same. His face was very sullen after he had been ‘betrayed’ by Old Master Zhai.

When Qiao Nan moved into the house of the Zhu family, she finally felt a little like a bride-to-be.

At the sight of the house of the Zhu family that she was familiar with, Qiao Nan looked around.

Zhu Chengqi noticed her action. “Are you looking for Baoguo?”

“Yes.” Since she was engaged with Brother Zhai and made it clear to Zhu Baoguo, this young brat had been avoiding her for six months. She was now at the house of the Zhu family to stay over. Was Zhu Baoguo prepared to continue avoiding her?

Zhu Chengqi looked at Qiao Nan lovingly. “Baoguo has a childlike temper. Don’t need to bother about him. He hasn’t sorted out his thoughts yet.”

Zhu Baoguo, who was hiding in the dark, was so furious at his father’s words that his face turned crimson. His father really knew how to do him in. Childlike temper? Come on, he was older than Qiao Nan!

This was the first time that he had taken a liking to a woman and was even secretly in love with her for a few years. In the end, she was going to be married to someone else. Zhu Baoguo not only felt sadness but also pain. It was as if someone had been piercing his heart with a knife again and again.
