Chapter 1507: ‘Caught’ In the ‘Act’

She could swear on her life that Zhu Baoguo was a fine and handsome man, the kind that was about to go extinct in the 21st century.

How could Shi Qing be suspicious of the child that she had ‘raised’?

Shi Qing became even shyer, twisting her body and lying on Qiao Nan. Moving close to Qiao Nan’s ear, she said softly, “You mean that Zhu Baoguo really means to do that with me after we have our wedding?”

“What else do you expect?”

The moment Qiao Nan finished speaking, there was a series of rapid poundings on the door, frightening Qiao Nan and Shi Qing, who had been lying on the bed, especially Qiao Nan, who had been shocked out of her sleep. She bounced up from the bed and looked at the door in bewilderment. Seeing that familiar tall figure, Qiao Nan asked cautiously, “Brother Zhai, you’re already back at this time?” It was in the middle of the night.

Zhai Sheng stared down at Shi Qing so much so that her face paled and she shrank her neck toward her shoulders like a quail. Her hands quickly threw aside the blanket as she sensibly crawled down from the bed and wore her shoes. “C-can I go to Sister Zhai Hua’s room to sleep?”

“Otherwise?” Zhai Sheng’s expression was dark, and his tone was even worse. “Are you expecting to continue staying in my room and sleeping on my bed?” And all that while hugging his wife?

At this moment, Zhai Sheng felt as though he could kill Shi Qing.

After Shi Qing joined the army, she had always kept her hair short. After all that training, Shi Qing’s shoulders were that much broader than an average girl’s. Zhai Sheng had planned on giving Qiao Nan a surprise by returning in the middle of the night, and on such a freezing cold winter night like this, he wanted to hug his wife to sleep. Of course, it would be even better to do something that was beneficial to his mental and physical health before sleeping.

But who knew that the moment he opened the door, the one who was surprised was not Qiao Nan but himself.

Sadly, there was only shock and no joy. Which man would not be mistaken when he came home to see a feminine man lying in his own bed, sleeping where he should be, and lying on his side to speak to his wife?

Thankfully, Zhai Sheng was rational for the most part.

Such a ridiculous thought only briefly passed through Zhai Sheng’s mind for a second. No matter what, this was the Zhai family’s house. Other than the three children, there were still his parents. Which married woman would have an affair in her husband’s house, much less with her parents-in-law around?

Zhai Sheng knew that his parents were not fools. Most importantly, he believed that Qiao Nan would never betray him.

Once he calmed down, Zhai Sheng looked closely at the person occupying his position on the bed. He realized that the person looked rather familiar. After confirming that it was someone he knew, Zhai Sheng’s expression remained dark even though he knew that it was a woman.

Zhai Sheng had never really been fond of Shi Qing. Zhu Baoguo was a man. Even if Zhu Baoguo had such thoughts before, Zhu Baoguo was smart enough to know to avoid it between men and women. But Shi Qing was so annoying. Just because she was a female, she fearlessly came to snatch his wife from him.

Sometimes, Zhai Sheng felt as though Shi Qing was a greater threat to him than Zhu Baoguo was.

After he chased Shi Qing out of his room with his gaze, he looked toward where Shi Qing had been lying down. His expression revealed his disgust. “Do we have any other quilt covers at home?”

“Yes…” Qiao Nan smiled forcefully. “Do you have to exaggerate so much?” When Shi Qing came, she had not been uneasy about lying down on the bed where Brother Zhai and Qiao Nan had done their private things.

Zhai Sheng snorted scornfully. “How can she compare with me? Her muscles are too thick to be a woman’s. Anyway, she’s already getting married to Zhu Baoguo. What’s she still doing here?” If she had any problems, didn’t she know to go to find Zhu Baoguo for help? If Zhu Baoguo couldn’t help her, then what kind of man was Shi Qing marrying?

In essence, now that Zhai Sheng had finished ranting about Shi Qing, he turned his attention to Zhu Baoguo. The only reason why he had granted the marriage report of these two so decisively was that he hoped that once the two of them got together, they would no longer come over to the Zhai family’s house whenever they had problems.

But he had never expected that Shi Qing would still come over to his house, sleep on his bed, and hug his wife even though she was already going to get married!

Zhai Sheng’s hands itched. When he returned the army the next time, he would have to find Shi Qing and teach her a lesson on etiquette. As a woman, was it right for her to snatch someone else’s wife? Was she that shameless?

Zhai Sheng was someone who relied on actions, not words. After saying that he felt uneasy and wanted to change, he dug out a clean four-piece set of bedding, and without hesitation or even Qiao Nan’s help, he changed everything on the bed quickly. In all, he spent no more than ten minutes doing so.

When Qiao Nan lay back down, she felt as though the temperature where she had laid previously had not decreased sufficiently. Qiao Nan was still lost in her thoughts when Zhai Sheng, who had taken a bath, lay down naked and embraced Qiao Nan.

Qiao Nan did not try to avoid him. “It seems like you haven’t been away for long before coming back this year.” Brother Zhai was back only after two months. This had never happened before.

“You prefer Shi Qing to spend time with you and the children rather than me?” Zhai Sheng bit Qiao Nan on the neck and expressed his dissatisfaction with his query.

Qiao Nan burrowed deeper into Zhai Sheng’s embrace in an attempt to pacify him. “You know that’s not what I meant. I’m just concerned about you. Don’t get jealous so easily. If you’re going to be like that, I’m going to be so stressed out. Shi Qing is a woman!” Forgetting about how he disliked Zhu Baoguo in the past, Qiao Nan could not wrap her head around why Zhai Sheng was even more hostile to Shi Qing than Zhu Baoguo, even though Shi Qing was clearly female.

She and Shi Qing were not lesbians. Shi Qing was even thinking about how to seduce Zhu Baoguo to go to bed with her. She did not have that kind of relationship with Shi Qing. What was Brother Zhai worried about?

Zhai Sheng pinched Qiao Nan unhappily. “Sometimes, women are scarier than men. You’re already married, but she still dares to lie next to you with no self-awareness. I’m warning you. No one else other than me and you can lie on this bed, even if they are women.”

When the three children were younger, they slept on the couple’s bed too. But Zhai Sheng could not say anything. After all, these were his children whom Qiao Nan had given birth to.

Now that the three children had finally grown old enough to have their own rooms, they all had their own beds.
