Chapter 1945: Self-Awareness

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In her dream, she had managed to do it. So, would she be as brave to take a step out in that direction in reality?

After dinner, Zhai Sheng naturally sent Qiao Nan back. Along the way, Qiao Nan remained silent. Zhai Sheng knew that Qiao Nan had to be contemplating their relationship. As such, Zhai Sheng did not rush her, and it was only when they reached Qiao Nan’s house did Zhai Sheng alight from the car as well. “Shall we have a chat?”

Qiao Nan hesitated for a moment before nodding. “All right. Come on in.” Qiao Nan poured Zhai Sheng a cup of tea. “If you wanted to have a chat with me, why didn’t you do it while we were at your house? Why are we only having a chat now?”

“I know that you wouldn’t be comfortable talking about this in my house and you wouldn’t be able to think about it properly on your own.” Zhai Sheng had already sensed that Qiao Nan cared a lot about the Zhai family’s matters and understood them to a great extent. That was why she was affected by them. He respected Qiao Nan and hoped that Qiao Nan would get together with him voluntarily. As such, he was naturally willing to give Qiao Nan space to consider this rationally.

But Zhai Sheng did not want to think about why Qiao Nan was clearer about the Zhai family’s situation than he himself was. People were rarely that muddleheaded. He had already felt that Qiao Nan’s care toward him and his family was genuine. In that case, Zhai Sheng was willing to attribute Qiao Nan’s behavior to his fate with Qiao Nan.

“Nan Nan, I’m serious about you. I believe that you know just how I am as a person. This might sound a little cheesy, but I’m a person who would rather do without than have something substandard. You’ve heard a little about my marriage to Qiu Chenxi, but you don’t know the full story. I think I should tell you about it today. In those three years, I spent more time in the military, and I guess I didn’t even spend ten full days with her in total.”

Zhai Sheng was particular about this and hoped that Qiao Nan would be able to understand him and would not have any misunderstanding in this regard that would affect their relationship. After all, Qiu Chenxi, who had no self-awareness at all, was still eyeing him.

Zhai Sheng did not think that there would be any problem on his side. But he had to make some preparations in case Qiu Chenxi tried to attack Qiao Nan first.

Qiao Nan blushed. She could not deny that she had felt joy in her heart upon hearing these words. Which woman would not be happy hearing such words from their partner? Qiao Nan was the most average person and naturally had the most average feelings as well. Besides, she could reply to Zhai Sheng in the same manner in this regard.

“Nan Nan, we’re not young anymore. I think we should cherish this even more. Don’t you think so? If you agree to it, I’ll write a marriage report right away. Of course, you can tell me if you have any requests. I’ll try my best to fulfill them. In order to improve efficiency, I think that we can get married before dating.”

Zhai Sheng had done his homework to chase Qiao Nan and knew that women nowadays enjoyed romance and liked the feeling of being pursued and being pampered like a princess. Zhai Sheng wanted Qiao Nan to become his wife, and once they were married, he would pursue Qiao Nan in whatever way she liked. He would not only treat Qiao Nan as a princess while they were dating, but he would treat Qiao Nan like a princess for the rest of his life.

No matter who upset Qiao Nan, he would never let a single one of them go. That included his future children. “Nan Nan, you like Jiajia very much, and I think that you’ll want a child of our own too. For the sake of your body, I think we shouldn’t be delayed anymore. Of course, if you don’t want children, we can go slower.”

“No, I like children!” Even if she could not have the same good fortune to have three outstanding and adorable children at the same time, she still wanted to be a mother and have a child with Zhai Sheng, whether it was a girl or a boy.

Zhai Sheng was over the moon. “I don’t have an opinion in this regard. Of course, it’ll be better to have one. If you want a child, I’ll do my best to fulfill that request. After we get married, I’ll try to get you pregnant as soon as possible.”

“...” Qiao Nan felt a little strange. Why did that sound wrong? “No, no...” They had not gotten married yet. Why was he talking about having children? He seemed a lot like a pervert now.

Zhai Sheng’s face fell. “Didn’t you just say that you want to be a mother? Why are you changing your mind now?”

Qiao Nan was taken aback by Zhai Sheng’s words. “I’m not regretting, but don’t you think that your sequence is entirely wrong? Marriage isn’t such a simple thing. It doesn’t involve just two people. It involves two families. Brother Zhai, I think that most women will be moved by such an outstanding person like you. Yes, I like you, and I acknowledge your feelings for me, but you know about my family background too. Wei De might have been a little crude with his words the other day, but I can’t deny that what he said isn’t the truth.”

With a family like the Qiao family, Qiao Nan had no other choice but to avoid them as far as possible. Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin were her blood relatives that she could never get away from. Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin had already sucked her dry. If they were to find out that she was together with Zhai Sheng, they would definitely try to do even more outrageous things to take advantage of her relationship with Zhai Sheng.

“Brother Zhai, I’m just an ordinary person. I like you, and I care about the Zhai family. That’s why I don’t want to let you guys see my ugliest side. A family like that makes me feel utterly humiliated, and don’t you dare underestimate a person’s greed and that family’s greed.”

The Qiao family was Qiao Nan’s obstacle and Zhai Sheng understood that. “Don’t you think that Wei De’s affair and his relationship with Wei Xiaomei and Wei Wei are shameful too? I guess every other man would have tried to hide a marriage like mine to Qiu Chenxi. Don’t you think that’s shameful too? You said that you’re an ordinary person, but so are I and everyone else in the Zhai family. What is family for? Shouldn’t family members stay by one another and support one another when we face such humiliating things? Nan Nan, haven’t you felt through my actions that the Qiao family isn’t a barrier between us?”

Qiao Nan’s eyes reddened. In the face of all these matters, she had almost regarded herself as part of the Zhai family, and not as an outsider.
