Chapter 2052: Special Privilege

He had indeed found himself a soul mate and the most suitable woman for himself this time. “Alright, we’ll do as you say. Don’t worry. My parents and I will all support you. As long as you’re happy, we’ll always be on your side no matter what decision you make.”

Perhaps, he should have a conversation with his father to let him know about Nan Nan’s ideas after he arrived in the capital and before leaving. He would definitely not have much time to help Nan Nan or take care of her once he returned to the military.

At such a time, the one who would be able to guide and help Nan Nan would be his father.

The moment the auntie in the capital heard about the news that Zhai Sheng had gotten married while back at the old villa, she was overjoyed. Because the Zhais were good people, the auntie was concerned about her employers. In such an expensive city like the capital, where others were crammed into small houses of less than a hundred square meters, Zhai Yaohui and Miao Jing were often lonely and sad because there was nobody else in their huge home.

The auntie knew very well that Zhai Yaohui and Miao Jing had always been longing for Zhai Sheng to get married and to have children of his own. Now that he had already passed the first hurdle of getting married, a baby was sure to be on the way very soon.

As such, Qiao Nan was very warmly welcomed by the auntie. “You’re Qiao Nan, right? I’m the auntie in this house. You must have had a long trip. I’ve already made some tea. Please go have some. I’ve also washed all the fruits on the table. Please have whatever you like!”

This auntie was not the same one as in Qiao Nan’s dream. Thus, Qiao Nan felt a little unfamiliar with her. Qiao Nan felt a little overwhelmed by the special treatment she was receiving from a stranger. “Alright, thank you.”

Sitting on the sofa, Miao Jing suddenly felt that she had to accept that she had indeed grown old. While she was younger, she had accompanied Old Zhai on flights everywhere and had never once felt tired. Now, she had merely taken a three-hour flight and was already feeling aches all over. “Auntie, I’m hungry. Have you prepared our meal? If you have, you can bring them out now. Zhai Sheng, take Nan Nan to have a look at your room. Your room… I don’t want to talk about it. It’s just as well that Nan Nan can redecorate it.”

Was it even a room? Apart from a bed, there were only walls in a single color. If not for the wooden floor, Miao Jing might even mistake Zhai Sheng’s room for a prison cell instead of a normal bedroom.

Even without Miao Jing’s instructions, Zhai Sheng had intended to show Qiao Nan their room. Zhai Sheng had a feeling that he would spend more time in his bedroom in the next half a year than he had in the past ten years he had been in the capital.

In the face of the room he would return to, Zhai Sheng had to consider Qiao Nan’s feelings even if he did not care about his own. “Nan Nan, take a look and see what needs to be changed or added. You can do as you please. I don’t have any specific requirements.”

Seeing that Zhai Sheng had only a bed without even a closet to hang his clothes, Qiao Nan pursed her lips. “I can tell that you really don’t care about where you live. How could you not even have a closet? Where do you put all your clothes?”

“…” Zhai Sheng was a little hesitant to answer that question.

How should he put it? In the past, he had no interest in coming home. Even after Qiu Chenxi left, he had been unwilling to return. When he had just divorced Qiu Chenxi, his parents had not fully understood the situation yet, much less reconciled with him. Besides, his parents’ relationship was a little strange in itself. Why would he, as their son and a single man, come in between them?

Moreover, Zhai Sheng had not been young when he had gotten married to Qiu Chenxi in the first place. After the divorce that came three years later, Zhai Sheng was even older. Yet, there was still no child in the Zhai family. As such, every time Zhai Sheng returned home, Miao Jing would nag at him to get married without fail. Even worse, upon confirming that Zhai Sheng was returning home, Miao Jing would always find ways to have two to three unmarried young ladies at home every time Zhai Sheng returned.

It was obvious what she was scheming.

His parents’ relationship was still unclear while he had not been divorced for long at that time. How could Zhai Sheng possibly throw himself into another grave by being with a woman he had not known for long? With Miao Jing on his back, Zhai Sheng neither raised his voice nor threw a temper. Instead, he simply returned home to sit around for a while before excusing himself by saying that he needed to return for a mission in the military.

In the end, Zhai Sheng resorted to returning to the Zhai family’s house in a clean set of clothes. Then, he would return to the military after a night’s stay. Since his clothes were in the military, it was only natural that he changed his clothes back in the military. Zhai Sheng had already gotten to the point where he did not even change in the Zhai family’s house. This naturally meant that a closet was unnecessary there.

Given his frugality as a soldier, Zhai Sheng had simply moved that unused closet somewhere else and put it into good use elsewhere.

Since Zhai Sheng did not answer her, Qiao Nan did not try to force one out of him. It was not a crucial matter anyway. “Alright, I’ll clean this room up. Do you even come back here?”

In her dream, Qiao Nan had been Zhai Sheng’s wife for over twenty years. What could Qiao Nan possibly not know about Zhai Sheng’s temper and habits?

In fact, Qiao Nan had heard about Zhai Yaohui and Miao Jing’s situation from Zhai Hua while she had been in Ping Cheng. A child’s opinions and ideas about marriage were directly influenced by his parents’. In reality, the couple’s relationship had only gotten better quite recently. This had led to Zhai Hua’s extreme desire to have a family of her own and a man who would cherish her with all his heart. That was why she had gotten married to Wei De.

On the other hand, Zhai Sheng felt that marriage was unnecessary after seeing his parent’s relationship. By remaining unmarried, he would have one less person to make trouble for him. That way, he would have more freedom in the future.

Zhai Sheng did not think much about it and smiled. “Don’t worry. I’ll return home often in the future. I’ll come back and spend time with you every time I get a break in the military.”

Since Zhai Sheng had not read in between the lines, Qiao Nan could not be bothered to explain it any further. “Alright, come back often. By the way, if anything happens and I can’t make up my mind, can I make a call to the military to find you?” Qiao Nan had already gotten this special privilege while she was still a junior high school student in her dream and before she had even been in an official relationship with Zhai Sheng. At that time, she had simply treated Zhai Sheng as an older brother who was concerned about her. She had never imagined that Zhai Sheng felt something more toward her.
