1065 I am the Blessed One

“Okay.” Having been consoled by Zhai Sheng, the anger in Qiao Nan’s heart diminished. “When I am married to you, my dad would have completed his mission. Next, he just needs to help Qiao Zijin form a family. Brother Zhai, in the future, no one from the Qiao family will care about me anymore.”

His heart ached for the lady in his arms. However, Zhai Sheng really could not do much in this aspect. “It’s okay. The Qiao family doesn’t care about you but many people in the Zhai family want to dote on you. Nan Nan, you’re a smart lady. You should not feel upset over these matters.”

Qiao Nan buried her face in Zhai Sheng’s arms. She then said sullenly, “Okay.”

Finally, his nice-smelling and soft wife was in his arms. Today was the eve of Lunar New Year, a happy occasion. Zhai Sheng had initially wanted to behave like a beast but such thoughts went away when he saw Qiao Nan feeling so upset.

Judging from this, it was better that he distanced Nan Nan from his father-in-law in the future. Otherwise, there would be a negative impact on the couple ‘making small humans’.

He gave Qiao Nan a couple of rubs to relieve his temptation. Zhai Sheng then said with sulk and exasperation, “It’s late. Quickly go to sleep.”

She had been rubbed so hard by Zhai Sheng and also heard his sullen voice that was depressed to the core. In particular, Zhai Sheng’s head was pouncing on and nudging her chest from time to time. He was behaving like a big bad wolf. Qiao Nan was initially feeling sad, but now, all her melancholy went away. “Brother Zhai, you… Are you thinking of…”

“I’ve endured for a few years. Can I not think of it?” Zhai Sheng took a bite on Qiao Nan’s chest to vent his frustration. He was already over twenty years old. He really felt that he had suffered a little.

Qiao Nan took in some deep breaths. She would not laugh at Zhai Sheng anymore lest she overdo it. In the end, she would be the one at a disadvantage.

Undeniably, Zhai Sheng’s appearance made Qiao Nan feel very peaceful and calm at heart. Qiao Nan felt extremely safe lying in Zhai Sheng’s arms while hearing his heartbeat.

As for the suffering that she had endured at the Qiao family, Qiao Nan could finally cast them aside. She was no longer dwelling on it.

After her marriage, she would not have much interaction with the Qiao family anymore.

With husband and wife hugging each other to sleep, it could be considered a nice Lunar New Year eve.

It was seven o’clock in the morning of the first day of Lunar New Year. When Qiao Dongliang woke up and opened the door, Zhai Sheng was already standing at the doorstep of the Qiao family. He was wearing a trim shirt and standing tall and straight like a pine tree. “Dad.”

When he heard the word ‘Dad’ from Zhai Sheng, Qiao Dongliang faintly felt that he was in a trance. “Ah, you’re here to fetch Nan Nan?”

“Yes.” Zhai Sheng walked in with a poker-face. Qiao Dongliang could not tell at all that, in fact, Zhai Sheng was already at his house last night. Most importantly, he had just woken up in Qiao Nan’s bedroom. “Nan Nan and I should make preparations for some things. Qiao Nan has to choose the furniture and stuff. Otherwise, we’re afraid that we won’t have time moving forward. Also, I will be taking wedding photos with Nan Nan.”

Zhai Sheng did not like to take photos. Nevertheless, he was aware that wedding photoshoots were very popular nowadays.

He had always heard people in his camp mentioned that their wives were extremely happy about taking wedding photos. In the past, Zhai Sheng did not give it much thought. At this time, Zhai Sheng also wanted to bring Qiao Nan for a photoshoot to make her happy.

“Wedding photo?” Qiao Dongliang was not very sure about this. Many years ago, when he married Ding Jiayi, they probably did not even have a new set of clothing, let alone wedding attire. “Regarding this matter, Nan Nan and you can decide on your own. I remember that wedding gowns are white in color? What’s so nice about it?”

“It’s fine to wear a white wedding gown during the photoshoot. When we are having the banquet, Nan Nan wishes to wear a phoenix coronet and robes,” Zhai Sheng said patiently. Regarding these matters, Zhai Sheng left it entirely to Qiao Nan, according to her wishes.

Qiao Dongliang nodded. “This is better. You have just come back. When did Nan Nan and you discuss this?”

“We have agreed on this in a phone conversation last year.” Zhai Sheng did not even move his brow a tad when he lied to Qiao Dongliang again and again. His lie seemed as real as the truth. His entire performance was so steady.

Qiao Dongliang asked Zhai Sheng to get a seat. “Nan Nan, quickly get up. Zhai Sheng is going to bring you for a photoshoot.” After shouting for Qiao Nan, Qiao Dongliang then looked at Zhai Sheng. “Yesterday, Nan Nan kept me company while we waited for the countdown. She slept very late. Moreover, it has been tough on Nan Nan that she has to study during normal times. It is seldom that she gets a holiday. Today is also the first day of Lunar New Year. Hence, she slept for a while more. Please don’t mind her.”

“I won’t.” Even after hearing Qiao Dongliang anxiously explain, Zhai Sheng did not feel much.

When he faced Qiao Dongliang, this father-in-law, Zhai Sheng could understand the pain in Qiao Nan’s heart.

When Qiao Nan felt that Qiao Dongliang would love and protect her wholeheartedly, Qiao Dongliang would always give Qiao Nan a vicious slap on the face due to his favoritism toward Qiao Zijin.

When Qiao Nan had lost hopes on Qiao Dongliang, Qiao Dongliang would become the most ordinary father in the world. He would think of and do everything for Qiao Nan then.

To Zhai Sheng, this kind of person was shameless and detestable.

Certainly, one was not wrong to dote on and protect their child.

However, his father-in-law could not tell right from wrong. Clearly, he knew that his child was in the wrong but he allowed her to continue down the wrong path. It was as scary as overindulgence and causing the child to fail!

One had been overindulged while the other had ‘fallen’ to death.

When Qiao Dongliang faced Zhai Sheng, he felt a little uneasy. “Zhai Sheng, how are you doing in the army recently?”

“Quite good. However, most likely, I won’t remain in Ping Cheng after some time.”

“You have been deployed? Where have you been deployed to?” Qiao Dongliang was becoming anxious. If Zhai Sheng had been deployed to a place with barren hills and unruly waters, what would happen to Nan Nan then? Was Nan Nan going to follow him?

Zhai Sheng took a sip of the hot tea. “The capital. You are also aware of life in the army. When I arrive in the capital, I will be physically closer to Nan Nan although I still can’t take care of Nan Nan more. The good thing is that my parents will be close by and can often take care of Nan Nan. So, Dad, you don’t need to worry. When Nan Nan is married to me, I will definitely let Nan Nan lead a good and happy life.”

“Your parents?” Qiao Dongliang looked at Zhai Sheng with shock and doubt. “Don’t tell me your parents are also going to the capital?”

“Our whole family will be going.” Regarding the details of this matter, Zhai Sheng did not continue to talk about it. It was not appropriate for Qiao Dongliang to know certain matters.

Qiao Dongliang’s expression changed many times. “Everyone will be going to the capital. T-that’s quite good too. Nan Nan is already studying in the capital. If all of you are there, I… I don’t need to worry that no one can take care of Nan Nan if she encounters any problems in the capital. Q-quite good. Nan Nan is very blessed.”

She had just gotten married and her whole in-law family would be going to her place of study. Nan Nan was truly very blessed.

Zhai Sheng smiled. “No, I am the one who is very blessed to be able to marry Nan Nan. Dad, you don’t need to worry. I won’t let anyone, including myself, hurt Nan Nan. I will definitely be able to give Nan Nan happiness. Dad, if you miss us in the future, you can come to the capital to look for us.”
