1102 Not That Easy to Get a Wife
Now that Qiao Nan had decided that her goal was to get pregnant naturally, she was displeased with Zhu Baoguo’s behavior and found it unacceptable.
Shi Qing might be cracking dirty jokes, but that was just empty talk.
In the past one year, although Qiao Nan was not considered as a veteran, at least she was not a complete newbie.
It was a piece of cake to deal with Shi Qing, who was not even considered to be a newbie.
Shi Qing liked Zhu Baoguo and intended to start a relationship with him with marriage in mind.
However, that was only what Shi Qing had in mind. They had yet to go into a relationship. Speaking of a married couple’s life, Shi Qing, who was still a single young lady, could not help but blush. She could not wait to roll her sleeves and teach Qiao Nan a lesson.
Shi Qing felt frustrated. “Don’t be too smug. If not for the fact that you are getting married today and I could not lay my hands on you, I would let you know what I am capable of!”
“Haha, I knew that you can’t do anything to me today, so I am fearless. Do you understand?” Qiao Nan was amused. She retorted bluntly. “Brother Zhai has won!”
The onlookers watched anxiously as the two men fought with each other. Qiao Nan and Shi Qing, who were engaged in a verbal spar, were not the least worried for them.
Zhai Sheng proved that he was worthy of Qiao Nan’s trust. He won against Zhu Baoguo fair and square. Zhu Baoguo’s expression darkened at the outcome.
After being lectured by his father, Zhu Baoguo always believed that what he lacked was luck. He was acquainted with Qiao Nan and he spent more time with Qiao Nan than Zhai Sheng did.
As he was younger and not as strong or capable, he was unable to help Qiao Nan or protect her when she encountered problems and difficulties.
Zhai Sheng won in terms of age. He was a few years older than him and had more time to prove himself to be worthy of Qiao Nan.
He always wanted to prove that Qiao Nan could rely on him. However, in the end, he failed.
Zhu Baoguo pulled a long face and patted the dust on his clothes. He had an evil look in his eyes. “I treat Xiao Qiao as my sister. Since you want to marry Xiao Qiao, I have to test whether you are capable of protecting Xiao Qiao. I am really sorry that I was too serious in the fight and I have dirtied your clothes. I hope you can understand.”
He did not believe that Zhai Sheng would dare to stand beside Xiao Qiao in the dirty clothes of his!
Zhai Sheng had won the fight, but his clothes were dirty, and so were Zhu Baoguo’s clothes.
But Zhu Baoguo had the advantage as this was the Zhu family’s residence.
If his clothes were dirty, he could change into a new set of clothes and came back within five minutes.
But it was different for Zhai Sheng. He could either pick up Qiao Nan in his dirty clothes or go back to change his clothes before picking up Qiao Nan. However, in that case, he would have missed the auspicious hour.
“It’s alright. Since you treat Nan Nan as your sister, you can be considered as my brother-in-law as well. It is not a big issue that the clothes are dirty. I can change into a new set of clothes.” Without another word, Zhai Sheng took off his outer clothes, leaving a thin white shirt on him.
One of the groomsmen took out a green military uniform that was brand new and handed it to Zhai Sheng for him to put on.
Three seconds ago, Zhai Sheng looked dirty and disheveled, but he changed into a new outfit within seconds and tidied up himself. He was once again the handsome and dashing groom.
Zhai Sheng knew that Zhu Baoguo was interested in Qiao Nan even before he realized it.
If Zhai Sheng could not anticipate that Zhu Baoguo would be up to this trick today, Zhai Sheng would not have ended up as the man who married Qiao Nan.
“The groom is brilliant!”
“It’s time to pick up the bride!”
Everyone, including the children and the adults, chanted for Zhai Sheng to pick up the bride as soon as possible. The groom had come all prepared to pick up the bride.
Zhu Baoguo flushed with anger and turned green with rage. He wished that he could grab Zhai Sheng by the collar and fight it out with him. How dared he not admit that he had received a benefit!
Zhu Chengqi appeared silently from nowhere and stood in front of Zhu Baoguo. “Today is Nan Nan’s wedding. Change your clothes now. We still have to send Nan Nan off.”
“I know,” Zhu Baoguo replied, disheartened. This was his last chance to defeat Zhai Sheng, but he failed in the end.
Shi Peng walked forward. “Zhai Sheng, don’t be too overjoyed. It will not be easy to pick up the bride.” Shi Peng knew that it would not be easy to get past his daughter.
“As a soldier, I am not afraid of overcoming challenges.” Nothing was as difficult as the five years of long wait for Nan Nan to reach the legal age.
As his master, he naturally understood Zhai Sheng’s hidden meaning. He had a sly smile on his face as he accompanied Zhai Sheng upstairs to pick up the bride.
Zhai Sheng pursed the corners of his lips at the tightly shut door. “I am here to pick up the bride.”
“Do you want to pick up the bride? Fine.” Shi Qing was gloating from the other side of the door. “Qiao Nan is fair and beautiful. She has a lot of admirers. I have to know whether you are capable of protecting Qiao Nan and chasing the lechers away. Why don’t you do one hundred push-ups first?”
If she had the time and the chance, Shi Qing wanted to get back at Zhai Sheng for torturing her and making her go through all the arduous training in the army. She could make use of this chance to make Zhai Sheng go through all of them.
Of course, it was only her fantasy. It was not likely that she could implement it.
“Brother Zhai, I must remind you that time is limited. If you take your time to do one hundred push-ups, you may not be able to pick up Qiao Nan today.” Shi Qing wanted to make it all the more challenging by giving Zhai Sheng a time limit.
Since Zhai Sheng was from the army and he was one of the best special armed forces back then, it was not a big deal to do one hundred push-ups.
The problem was Zhai Sheng had just fought with Zhu Baoguo.
Zhu Baoguo was out to make a fool out of Zhai Sheng in front of everyone. Therefore, he did not go easy with Zhai Sheng during the fight.
They were all men. Zhu Baoguo knew what was on Zhai Sheng’s mind after he married Qiao Nan.
He did not care if his methods were useful or not. He was determined to drain Zhai Sheng of his strength and energy through all means and ways.
Zhu Baoguo knew that it was not up to him to control what would happen after their marriage and he had to stop himself from thinking about that.
Shi Qing had the same sentiments as Zhu Baoguo.
Shi Qing only had one motive in mind. Zhai Sheng bullied her and was harsh with her since a long time ago. She was not a man, but she knew that men only had one goal in mind when they were with their loved ones.
Qiao Nan was as fresh and tempting as a young flower. It was torturous if he had her by his side but he could not do anything at all.
Even if Zhu Baoguo and Shi Qing did not discuss beforehand, it was fascinating that they were thinking of the same thing.
Shi Qing knew that one hundred push-ups were an easy feat to Zhai Sheng. But she was determined to torture Zhai Sheng with these antics.
