Chapter 1727: Public Display of Affection

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

But the Zhai family’s situation was different from a typical family’s. They were unlike those businessmen who were ranked as the richest man in China and among the richest people in the world. Those with prominent military backgrounds were not allowed to be exposed to the media in this way.

If the family situations of those with prominent military backgrounds were to be exposed, the title of the national husband could no longer be assumed by those rich N-generation heirs. For that reason, unless they were familiar with the Zhai family, there was no way they would tell their daughter who had just come of age that her future husband must be no one else but Zhai Yi. Other than Zhai Yi, she couldn’t have intimate contact or even fall in love with other boys.

“Auntie Qiao, if you’re not feeling well, shall I send you to the hospital to get a checkup?” Gao Feng could feel that the smile of Qiao Nan’s face was not a happy one. In fact, there was a tinge of uneasiness in it. “Auntie Qiao, you have to take care of your health. We all care very much about you. Please don’t hide it from us if you’re feeling unwell.”

“No, don’t worry. I’m healthy and I go for a yearly health checkup. I have no problems at all.” Qiao Nan quickly reassured Gao Feng, knowing that he was saying so out of concern for her. There was nothing wrong with her body. It was her ‘heart’ that had a problem. “Ma Yuanyuan’s mom... I know her, and so does your uncle Zhai. I guess you can say that we’re old acquaintances.”

If she had not remembered wrongly, Qiu Chenxi’s mom, Qi Minlan, had tried to snatch her father-in-law away from her mother-in-law. Following that, Qiu Chenxi had even proclaimed herself to be Brother Zhai’s fiancée. Now, Qiu Chenxi seemed to want her daughter to become her daughter-in-law by getting together with Da Bao.

Sigh...

“Old acquaintances? That’s impossible!” Gao Feng denied it immediately. Such a thing was impossible. “We children know that Uncle Zhai doesn’t even know a single female apart from you and Sister San Bao!” Moreover, his Uncle Zhai could never distinguish between genders. He had even once suspected that his Uncle Zhai had a gender consciousness disorder.

Of course, only when Gao Feng grew up did he gradually understand why apart from his wife, Qiao Nan, there was only one other female in the world in Zhai Sheng’s eyes, and that was his daughter. So when he met Ma Yuanyuan and his heart stirred, Gao Feng had been absolutely sincere with his feelings throughout this entire relationship.

Unfortunately, the effort he put in did not guarantee a return.

Qiao Nan was tickled by Gao Feng’s words. “In your Uncle Zhai’s eyes, it might be true that only San Bao and I are female. But the main point is that your Uncle Zhai is undoubtedly a man of high caliber in other people’s eyes. Today, it’s because of your Uncle Zhai’s relationship with me that they have all given up completely. But they still have a chance with Da Bao and Er Bao. There was someone who failed to win over your Uncle Zhai. That is why she sets her sights on your elder brothers, Da Bao and Er Bao, after giving birth to a daughter.”

Obviously, the one whom Qiu Chenxi had eventually decided on was Da Bao and not Er Bao. But Er Bao... Forget it. She would rather not talk about Zhou Xing. From what she knew, after Zhou Xing apologized to Er Bao, she had indeed never shown up in front of Er Bao ever again. Neither did she continue constantly bothering Er Bao by calling him to go out with her.

“...” Upon hearing such shocking news, Gao Feng did not know how to react. “No wonder...” No wonder Ma Yuanyuan told her that she did not even know who Da Bao was and that dating Da Bao was just her mom’s wishful thinking.

He had initially been confused. If Ma Yuanyuan knew Da Bao, there was no way she would not know about their relationship since he had such a close relationship with Da Bao, so much so that they were practically biological brothers. Since Ma Yuanyuan had already made Da Bao her target and was even dating him in high school, Ma Yuanyuan was not practicing dating. Given his relationship with Da Bao, Ma Yuanyuan was simply digging her own grave!

Gao Feng bit on his lip. It was just that he had met a girl whom he had felt was right for him and wanted to get into an early relationship. He had not expected such a rare thing to happen to him!

As he found out more about her, Gao Feng gave up completely on Ma Yuanyuan. Ma Yuanyuan’s mom was someone who had fought over his uncle with Auntie Qiao! From a young age, his parents had constantly mentioned how good the relationship between Uncle Zhai and Auntie Qiao was.

Gao Feng believed that such an inflexible person like his Uncle Zhai would never have an affair. And thus, Ma Yuanyuan’s mom had not succeeded in coming between the two of them since the one Uncle Zhai liked was Auntie Qiao. Twenty years on, she was getting her own daughter to marry Uncle Zhai’s and Auntie Qiao’s son!

Gao Feng’s lips twitched. He really had no idea how to assess Ma Yuanyuan and her mom. “Ma Yuanyuan is a little pitiful.” It was impossible for Ma Yuanyuan to come up with such an idea.

The only explanation was that Ma Yuanyuan’s mom had constantly instilled this idea into her. Whether it was true or not, Ma Yuanyuan had no choice but to agree to it just to pacify her mom. It had been her mom’s obsession for decades. If Ma Yuanyuan were to refuse, her mom would definitely pester her to no end.

“But it takes two to tango. Ma Yuanyuan is almost an adult and has the ability to think and judge for herself. It’s not as though she’s at home every day. She should find a balance for herself. Of course, these are all the Ma family’s affairs. What I’m saying is that if Ma Yuanyuan is unwilling, parents can never force their children to do anything.”

Qiao Nan could not really agree with the statement that Ma Yuanyuan was pitiful. Based on how Ma Yuanyuan had been able to date Gao Feng even after Qiu Chenxi’s brainwashing, it could be seen that Ma Yuanyuan was an opinionated young lady. She was not the kind of girl who would let her elders manipulate her.

Qiao Nan was not being narcissistic. But given the family background of the Zhai family and how outstanding Da Bao was, it was easy to be attracted to Da Bao. A possible reason for Ma Yuanyuan not rejecting Qiu Chenxi’s idea right away was because she might have thought that Da Bao was indeed a good catch after learning about his family background. Thus, she left a possibility for things to develop between her and Da Bao.

Qiao Nan was already an adult, so it was only natural that she looked at things more comprehensively than Gao Feng did. “You came over for this matter?” Since Gao Feng already knew Ma Yuanyuan’s and Qiu Chenxi’s plans, Ma Yuanyuan was no longer a problem given the relationship between Gao Feng and Da Bao.

“No.” Gao Feng’s face turned stiff. “My parents are showing public displays of affection at home. For the sake of my own physical and mental health, I really can’t stay at home any longer.”
