Chapter 991 Public Display of Affection
Was there anyone else who would be better than Brother Zhai in this world?
She did not believe so.
There was a saying that humans were, in fact, not afraid of losing something. They were only afraid that they could not find anything better thereafter.
If the best thing in the world already belonged to her, why would there be a ‘what if’?
The few male seniors who had just made up their mind to woo Qiao Nan had fallen out of love before they could even strike. Before they could experience the first feelings of being out of love, Qiao Nan had ‘force-fed’ them with so much public display of affection that they almost died of choking.
What an outstanding girlfriend who was so faithful to her boyfriend. In her eyes, her boyfriend was the best Prince Charming in the world. They wished to have such a girlfriend too.
When Qiao Nan was still a high school student, he had forcefully plucked away this small and tender flower. No matter what, that man was shameless!!
Xu Shengnan was also stunned by the public display of affection. “You… Well, as long as you’re happy.”
“Vice President Xu, take your time to have your supper then. I will make my way home first.” It seemed that Tang Jiayun was not that much of a big-mouth. Of course, it was also possible that there were too many students in Peking University and Tang Jiayun’s publicizing skills were limited. That was why this kind of embarrassing situation today would occur.
“Does the one in your family keep a very tight rein on you?” Xu Shengnan asked as this suddenly came to her mind.
Everyone was youngsters. At this young age, Qiao Nan’s temperament could not be clear-minded to this extent.
The only explanation was that Qiao Nan’s fiancé kept a very strict rein on Qiao Nan. He disliked Qiao Nan for being too close to other people, especially other men. “Qiao Nan, you have to remember. You can’t pamper a man. In particular, when a man makes unreasonable requests, you have to decline him in a very serious manner. Otherwise, you will suffer a lot in the future!”
The outcome of a woman’s good temper was that she would spoil her man rotten. He would become as pampered as a big boss. This would downgrade the woman’s status to that of a nanny.
As she was aware that Xu Shengnan had her interests at heart, Qiao Nan did not blame Xu Shengnan for what she said. “Vice President Xu, you have misunderstood. Nevertheless, it is normal for men to be a little petty and jealous. It’s normal. I am not joining the celebration party because I never have the habit of having supper. I’m afraid that I will feel too full and uncomfortable. Moreover, I really feel a little tired recently.”
She was a new member of the new English club. However, her responsibilities were not any less than others.
Compared to most of the freshmen, Qiao Nan was the busiest one.
In the past, when she was in junior and senior high school, Qiao Nan had not come into contact with such matters. She had not worked so hard before. This was the first time. Hence, Qiao Nan’s fatigue was certainly more than that of Xu Shengnan and the rest.
“Alright.” She could tell that Qiao Nan really did not wish to go. It was also obvious that she looked tired. Xu Shengnan did not continue to make things difficult for Qiao Nan then. “Why don’t I send you back first? You all can order the food first. I will come back soon.”
It was quite late now. Xu Shengnan was a little worried letting Qiao Nan go home alone.
“No need, Vice President Xu. Go ahead and have fun with them. It is quite bustling along the way to my home. It is quite safe.” Her master’s house wasn’t located in those bad areas with complex characters.
The location was too good. That was why Qiao Nan did not want Xu Shengnan to send her home. She was afraid that she would not be able to explain thereafter.
Although there were no rumors, Qiao Nan could guess that some people had misunderstood that she had been staying at a place provided by Shi Qing, that she was enjoying free lodging and food.
Of course, the first few people who would have such a misunderstanding were the three former dormitory mates of Qiao Nan.
Qiao Nan did not have any relatives or good friends in the capital. Shi Qing had the Feng family as relatives and they were officials and businessmen. In the eyes of a normal person, she was the one who basked in Shi Qing’s glory, and in no way would Shi Qing benefit from her.
“Okay then.” Xu Shengnan was not overly courteous with Qiao Nan either. After knowing Qiao Nan for some time, Xu Shengnan knew that Qiao Nan was not the type of person who liked to put on a strong front for the sake of face. “Alright. When you have arrived home, remember to send me a text message.”
Since Qiao Nan picked up the Feng family’s call in front of Xu Shengnan and Zou Wenxuan, regardless of Xu Shengnan or Zou Wenxuan, both requested for her contact number immediately.
“Okay, Vice President Xu.” Qiao Nan nodded. She left the school together with the members of the new English club.
The others were running toward supper while Qiao Nan was heading back home.
It was ‘fated’ that the two batches of people were heading in the same initial direction.
Xu Shengnan blinked in disbelief. “Qiao Nan, you… you stay in that area?”
“…” Qiao Nan felt her teeth hurt a little. Could she not admit it?
Qiao Nan did not open her mouth to admit, but neither did she deny it. That meant that she had quietly admitted it.
Xu Shengnan let out a breath of cold air. “Qiao Nan, don’t tell me that you are an outstanding beauty with looks, money, and background!” That line of houses—could any Tom, Dick, or Harry live in one of them?
Not to mention Xu Shengnan, all of the club members were shocked. The gentle and nice junior standing before them had such a strong family background.
Qiao Nan smiled wryly. “Vice President Xu, you are overthinking. I’m not an outstanding beauty with looks, money, and background. I’m just a poor suspender. What kind of place is the capital? The property prices are shockingly expensive. That house doesn’t belong to me. It belongs to my master. He doesn’t stay in the capital. After knowing that I became a student of Peking University, he passed the house keys to me, lending it to me for four years.”
At this time, although the property prices in the capital were not that ridiculous yet, it was still much pricier than the other places in general.
She did not even have a place that belonged to her in Ping Cheng. Wrong, she had one. However, she did not earn it herself. That was a gift.
In short, she could not even afford a house in Ping Cheng. How could she yearn to have a place of her own at a place like this?
If she really had so many houses, she could become an outstanding lady with looks, money, and background.
“…” Qiao Nan’s explanation did not alleviate Xu Shengnan’s concern. Instead, it aggravated them further. “Where did your master come from? Is the other party a male or female? How old are they?”
As Xu Shengnan listened, her thoughts went astray.
This person even had an unoccupied house in the capital. He must be the wealthier of the wealthy ones.
Qiao Nan tugged the corners of her lips. “Vice President Xu, you are overthinking. If you see my master in the future, don’t say this kind of thing. My master is very old and he has become pettier.” Master was master. Could Vice President Xu be mixing up master with ‘sugar daddy’?
Xu Shengnan laughed in embarrassment. “Don’t mind me. I’m just afraid that you are too young. You have to remember. Society is very complex. You don’t have such thoughts but that doesn’t mean that others don’t. Does your fiancé know that you are staying in the house of your master?”
Master?
He had let someone who was unrelated by blood stay in his unoccupied house. Damn, he was better than a biological father.
Qiao Nan refuted Xu Shengnan. “My master is quite capable. There are many people who wish to acknowledge him as their master. As you can imagine, my master is quite classy.”
