Chapter 304 - Would Not Marry Her (1/2)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Qiao Nan’s loud yell left a dent on Zhai Sheng’s heart.

Zhai Sheng loosened his fingers that were at Qiao Nan’s waist, but he did not let go of her. “Nan Nan, I…”

It seemed that Qiao Nan was not totally clueless, but she did not know what was on his mind. If he confessed his feelings for her, would it make things simpler?

Once Zhai Sheng had decided on a target, he would not change his mind. Sooner or later, he would have to let Qiao Nan know about his feelings. He contemplated making known his feelings to Qiao Nan so that while he was in the army, he would not be distracted or worry that Qiao Nan might be interested in other boys at her school.

“Zhai Sheng, Nan Nan, are you around?” Zhai Hua came at the right time. She relieved them from the awkward atmosphere.

Qiao Nan gave Zhai Sheng a hard push and s.h.i.+fted to the side. “Sister Zhai Hua?”

Zhai Sheng was just about to confess when he was interrupted. His face turned black and he narrowed his eyes at Zhai Hua who came in from the doorway.

Zhai Hua could tell right away what her brother was up to. She trembled slightly and smiled in embarra.s.sment. “Zhai Sheng, you are too fast. You did not bring everything that Mom told you to bring. I have to run after you to bring you the bags. You are so muddleheaded.”

“Well?” Zhai Sheng seemed to be responding to Zhai Hua’s words, but it also seemed like he was asking her a question. Zhai Hua could not help but have gooseb.u.mps.

She did not understand. She was his elder sister, and she was four years older than him. Why was it that she was so fearful of him? Should it not be the other way round?

“Nan Nan, I haven’t seen you for so long. Do you miss me?” Zhai Hua could not stand Zhai Sheng’s cold treatment. She turned to look at Qiao Nan whom she was on friendly terms with.

“Sister Zhai Hua, I miss you dearly. Have a seat.” Qiao Nan relaxed slightly. She schooled her expression and moved to the side, making s.p.a.ce between her and Zhai Sheng so that Zhai Hua could have a seat between them.

Qiao Nan finally relaxed when Zhai Hua sat down between them. “Sister Zhai Hua, what brings you here? Why didn’t you come with Brother Zhai? It must have been tiring to carry these heavy bags here.”

Zhai Hua felt happy that Qiao Nan cared for her. “Sure enough, having a sister is so much better. A sister naturally will care for you.”

Zhai Hua slanted her eyes at Zhai Sheng. On the other hand, Zhai Sheng curled the corners of his lips and sneered, completely ignoring Zhai Hua.

“All these are from my mom. Nan Nan, tell me honestly. Did you run into my mom again?” She remembered that her mother did not really like Qiao Nan, and she disliked it when Zhai Hua mentioned about the latter. It had not been even half a year’s time since then, but her mother had changed her opinion of Nan Nan even though she had not brought up Nan Nan in front of her mother.

It was also impossible that Zhai Sheng, who stayed in the army all day long, had mentioned Qiao Nan to her mother. If he really had done that, her mother might have disliked Nan Nan even more.

“I ran into her recently.” She was reminded of the previous time when Miao Jing insisted that she made a request of her so that Miao Jing could repay her kindness. Could it be that it was due to that incident that Zhai Hua and Zhai Sheng brought bags of food to her house? It was all under their mother’s orders?

“I see.” Seeing that Qiao Nan did not elaborate further, Zhai Hua supposed that it was not a pleasant encounter. “Nan Nan, Zhai Sheng and I have something on, so we will go back first. We will visit you on another day, alright?”

“It’s okay. Both of you are very busy.” Qiao Nan quickly stood up to walk them to the door.

“Zhai Sheng, let’s go.” Zhai Hua kicked at Zhai Sheng, who was reluctant to move.
