Zhai Yaohui closed his eyes for a while. His eyes then revealed a flash that was as sharp as that of a falcon. “Right, let’s be frank. It’s rare that Miao Miao can get along with you. Therefore, I want to ask you some things about Miao Miao. You have to reply honestly.”

“What do I gain out of this?”

“You dare to ask me about what you will gain?” Zhai Yaohui felt ridiculous. Who would have the gall of the leopard to dare to ask the chief of a country that!

“Chief Zhai, don’t tell me you think that I’m obligated to reply to your questions? You may not know that besides my family members, I’m, in fact, quite difficult toward others.” Qiao Nan smiled.

“Hahaha.” Zhai Yaohui sneered. “Then, what do you wish to gain out of this?”

“Unless Auntie Miao realizes it herself, or Brother Zhai and I tell Auntie Miao the truth on our own accord, Chief Zhai, you should pretend that you don’t know anything!”

Zhai Yaohui put down the cup in his hands. “So, you’re not that good to Miao Miao and want to lie to her?” There was coldness in Zhai Yaohui’s eyes.

Instead of being angry, Qiao Nan smiled and glanced sideways at Zhai Yaohui. “No choice. Someone caused Auntie Miao to have a knot in her heart regarding such matters. Yesterday, when Auntie Miao came, she even told me that when I find a man in the future, I shouldn’t marry someone whose status is much higher than that of mine and also not to marry a soldier. It’s too much of a hards.h.i.+p. Chief Zhai, should I discuss with Brother Zhai about how to repay this ‘someone’?

“I agree to your terms.”

Zhai Yaohui hit the nail on the head. After all, he had not intended to tell Miao Jing about this. Hence, he could find out information from Qiao Nan for free and not lose anything.

“Then, what does Chief Zhai wish to ask?” Qiao Nan secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Auntie Miao had just taken a great blow because of Chief Zhai and Qi Minlan. She was utterly despaired. If the matter between her and Brother Zhai was exposed, Qiao Nan was worried that Auntie Miao might not be able to take it well and would do something silly.

Zhai Yaohui thought carefully about which words to use. After some time, he only managed to ask a very ordinary question. “What is Miao Miao angry with me about?”

“Miao Miao misunderstood me, but I’ve already explained to her. However, Miao Miao did not seem to accept it. Zhai Sheng told me that Miao Miao gets along well with you. Do you know what Miao Miao is thinking about? Did she mention anything to you?” Having finished his question, Zhai Yaohui did not know whether to laugh or cry. He had become too confused out of anxiety. Was it appropriate to pose such questions to Qiao Nan, a young lady?

“It is fine if you don’t know.”

Having been treated as a ‘tree in a hole’ by Miao Jing for so long, how could Qiao Nan not know anything? “Chief Zhai, what are you anxious about? Did anything accidentally happen between Qiu Chenxi’s mother and you and Auntie Miao saw it?” There would only be a few matters that a woman would be concerned about.

Brother Zhai said that it was impossible for Chief Zhai to have an extra-marital affair. In that case, it was merely physical contact then.

“You’ve already said it yourself. That was an accident!”
