The more she thought about it, the more upset Qiao Nan was and her voice turned feeble. “Brother Zhai, what if you didn’t know me and didn’t meet me? Would you like Qiu Chenxi or marry one of the female soldiers in the army?”
Brother Zhai led a very simple life. His life was all about the army.
Therefore, apart from the female soldiers and Qiu Chenxi, Brother Zhai probably would not have any chance to get to know other women. He might not want to waste any time to get to know other women and experience the complicated process of falling in love before getting married.
Zhai Sheng pondered for a while before saying, “Yes, without you, I might have been married to Qiu Chenxi.”
Qiu Chenxi was someone that his parents approved of. They had known each other since they were young. As long as he was willing, he and Qiu Chenxi could be married right away. It was much simpler and easier than marrying another woman. Zhai Sheng knew himself well. He was not willing to waste his time, so choosing Qiu Chenxi was the most time-saving and effortless way.
“Brother Zhai, do you have to be so frank about it? Aren’t you afraid that I will be angry and break up with you?” Qiao Nan was displeased. She knew that if she did not appear in Brother Zhai’s life, he would have married some other woman.
Brother Zhai was so sure that he would have married Qiu Chenxi without her. It implied that he liked Qiu Chenxi.
If that were the case…
Qiao Nan gritted her teeth. She could not stand a third party in their relations.h.i.+p. After what happened with Chen Jun, she would not make the same mistake again.
She could bear with the fact that she might not be the woman that Brother Zhai loved the most, but she must be the only woman in his life. There must be n.o.body else.
Sensing that Qiao Nan was angry, Zhai Sheng felt a.s.sured instead. One would only be angry if one cared for and cherished that person. Even though he was the one who confessed his love and kept Nan Nan by his side, it was never a one-sided love. Qiao Nan had the same feelings for him as well. “You won’t be angry with me, and you won’t break up with me either. The reason why I would consider marrying Qiu Chenxi is very simple. It is purely for the sake of convenience. I have known Qiu Chenxi for many years. She and the Qiu family know my temper. I won’t do things to please her or sweet-talk her. The Qiu family can’t use this as an excuse to make things difficult for me. Qiu Chenxi must be aware of this as well. Marrying Qiu Chenxi is simply to answer to my parents. It has nothing to do with me.”
“Brother Zhai, is this how it is going to be if you really marry Qiu Chenxi?” This was treating marriage casually and carelessly. It was too perfunctory and fake. Brother Zhai was marrying for his parents.
Who was the one getting married in the end?
Judging from Zhai Sheng’s tone, Qiao Nan could tell that even if Zhai Sheng really married Qiu Chenxi, it was not because he had feelings for her. It was for the sake of his parents.
“Don’t be upset. Without you, I would feel that the arrangement was very good and convenient. But luckily, you appeared in my life. It is only when two people have feelings for each other will the marriage last forever.” Before he knew what love was, he felt that marrying Qiu Chenxi would be a good option. But now that he understood about love, he knew that it was his greatest fortune to know Nan Nan.
Marrying the person you loved and marrying someone that you did not love was totally different.
Back when there was only Qiu Chenxi in his life, he would not think of her or miss her when he was in the army.
On the contrary, after confirming his relations.h.i.+p with Qiao Nan, Zhai Sheng would always have Qiao Nan on his mind. He did not find it an annoyance or bother. Instead, whenever he thought about her, he would feel warm inside as if he was recharged.
