Failing to appreciate the happiness in his life. He was talking about his incapable son.

On the other hand, while Zhai Sheng had a rather unhappy breakfast, Qiao Nan was delightfully having the breakfast of love prepared for her by Zhai Sheng. She not only felt the warmth in her tummy but also her heart.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

There was the sound of someone banging loudly on the door. Qiao Nan had to get up from her warm and snug bed. “Dad? A-Auntie Miao?”

Qiao Nan thought that her father had finally woke up and come back after realizing that she was not in the house of the Qiao family. However, Qiao Nan never expected that Miao Jing, the spouse of the chief of the army, would come knocking on her door in the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year.

It was the first day of the Lunar New Year. Many boot-lickers must be crowding the main entrance of the house of the Zhai family. Their purpose was to wish the chief and his spouse in the Zhai family a happy new year.

Most probably, the Zhai family was overcrowded. As the lady owner of the Zhai’s residence, why would Auntie Miao come to her house?

“Miao… Auntie Miao, you… Why did you come here?” At the thought that her son was not at his own home during the Lunar New Year’s Eve as he was taking care of her and helping her wash so many things, Qiao Nan had a guilty conscience.

Did Auntie Miao discover something?

At the thought of the bad impression that Auntie Miao had of her, Qiao Nan had a headache. So, Auntie Miao picked the first day of the Lunar New Year to come to her house to warn her to stay further away from Brother Zhai?

“You spoke quite coherently last time. You’ve become a stutter after the Lunar New Year?” Miao Jing’s eyes were slightly red, and her tone was not too good. The tone was quite strong.

When she heard Miao Jing’s tone, Qiao Nan felt guiltier. “You… do you want to come in and sit down? If you have something to say, take your time to tell me.”

She had just agreed to try and get along with Brother Zhai. Within a few hours, the matter between her and Brother Zhai had been exposed and they would be forced to break up with each other. This would be a depressing Lunar New Year.

“Why are you blocking me from entering the house?” Having that said, Miao Jing pulled the corners of her lips embarra.s.singly. She realized that she was venting her anger on Qiao Nan and quickly softened her tone. “It’s cold outside. You don’t look too well. Let’s go into the house quickly.”

‘Oh.” Qiao Nan shut the door. She followed behind Miao Jing abidingly like a little daughter-in-law.

“Sit.”

“Oh.”

“I’ve something to ask you. Reply to me honestly.”

“…” Qiao Nan’s head felt like it had been beaten by a stick. She felt dizzy and her hands could not stop perspiring. “Sure.”

“You’ll be eighteen years old after the Lunar New Year. You should already have had your first menstrual period?”

“Ah? Oh, yes, yes.” Did Auntie Miao come to punish her for her crime because Brother Zhai helped her wash the bed sheets and quilt? At the thought of the son that she raised helping another woman wash things, Qiao Nan felt that she would not feel good either if she were in Miao Jing’s shoes.

Qiao Nan took a few deep breaths and shut her eyes. She looked as if she was waiting for her judgment.

“You… When it first came, how did it feel?” After a while, Miao Jing hesitatingly asked a ridiculous question. “You’re still young and should still remember it.”

“Remember…” She remembered nonsense.

Her first menstrual period?
