To the Zhai family, it was certainly a good thing that someone could provide guidance and point Miao Jing in the right direction. However, it would be a major problem if the other party had an ulterior motive.

“Do you think Mom doesn’t even have this little sense of judgment?”

“It’s hard to say.” Zhai Hua knitted her brows. When her mother was rational, she was definitely a smart woman. However, when she’s in the blind alley, her intelligence was completely ‘offline’.

“What’s there to talk about?” Miao Jing, who just came into the room, happened to hear Zhai Hua’s last sentence. “Your grandpa is still outside and the two of you are hiding in the bedroom to chat. Is this appropriate? Is it good to leave your dad and grandpa outside to be hostile with each other?”

Zhai Hua felt a little guilty. She heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that Miao Jing seemed to have heard only her last sentence. “I’ll go and keep Grandpa company by playing chess!”

“Are you accompanying your grandpa to play chess or is it your grandpa accompanying you?” Miao Jing immediately smiled. Her father-in-law was good at playing chess, but Hua Hua was a ‘spoiler’. She would retract three moves with each move she made.

“I’m the one accompanying Grandpa.” Zhai Hua straightened her neck. “Mom, I’m not talking to you anymore. I’m going to look for Grandpa.”

Just as she finished talking bad about her biological mother, the latter appeared.

Although Miao Jing might not have heard anything, Zhai Hua could not help feeling guilty. She simply ran off and left Zhai Sheng to clean up the mess.

“Zhai Sheng, Mom wants to talk to you about something.”

“Speak.”

“You’re still young. Mom will not ask you a lot of other questions, and neither do I wish to ask. Mom just wants to tell you that you’re still young and should give that lady and yourself more opportunities and time to understand each other. That lady is definitely younger than you. Do you remember President Mao’s words? Mom certainly trusts that you’re a responsible man who knows how to restrain yourself.”

Miao Jing was not afraid of anything else. She was only afraid that her son and the young lady would taste the forbidden fruit before she could even find out who that young lady was. This might cause an unplanned premarital pregnancy.

If that truly happened, given the temperament of the Zhai family, that lady had to be married into the family.

The possibility of having a blissful marriage for such an impulsive and hasty union was very low.

He did not wish to delay her son’s future or let him ruin the young lady’s life.

“Sure, I’ll be with her for another two years. After two years, I’ll bring her home for her to meet all of you.”

“Two years? Sure.” Miao Jing readily agreed. She thought that she had bought some time and gained two years. She did not know that Qiao Nan was only in the first year of senior high school. Not to mention two years, it would be at least two and a half years before Qiao Nan would bring up the subject of marriage to Zhai Sheng.

Hence, Zhai Sheng did not compromise. In reality, he had to make concessions.

Miao Jing’s mood lifted as she thought that she had achieved her objective. She smiled. “Son, we have a pact here. Mom will not stand in the way of your relations.h.i.+p in these two years. However, you’re a man, a soldier, and also a member of the Zhai family. You have to maintain your performance in the army. Otherwise, even if Mom agrees, your dad and grandpa will not do so. You should understand even if I don’t tell you what is important to the male members of the Zhai family and what do they care about. If your performance in the army is affected because of that lady, at that time, Mom is not the one who stands in your way, but you’re the one who ruins your own chance. Understand?”
