That night, Zhai Sheng not only stayed at the Qiao family’s residence to accompany the father and daughter for dinner but also dawdled to watch the evening news together with them. He was only willing to leave when it was half-past seven.

Once Zhai Sheng left, Qiao Dongliang immediately closed the door. “Nan Nan, do you really know Zhai Sheng or are you both just having fun? You’re a girl. You can’t play with this kind of matter. Moreover, you’re now just a first-year senior high school student. Nan Nan, please don’t do anything foolish at this moment. Are you and Zhai Sheng…”

He had not wished for a son-in-law but the son-in-law appeared. It was too annoying!

“Dad, don’t worry. I a.s.sure you that I will definitely do well in my studies. Just watch after me. If there’s an issue with my academic results, I promise you that I will certainly not meet Brother Zhai unless my grades improve or even before I graduate from senior high school. Will that do?” Qiao Nan smiled and leaned beside Qiao Dongliang. Her voice was soft and sweet.

“Really?”

“Yes!”

Qiao Dongliang sighed. “Alright, Nan Nan. Dad will believe you once. Remember what you told Dad today. If your grades suffer because of this, don’t blame Dad for being heartless. Nan Nan, you know the wealth and status of the Zhai family. Actually, Dad doesn’t want you to go through hards.h.i.+ps. In fact, being simple and ordinary is the reality. It’s also happiness.”

The entry status of the Zhai family was too high. He was afraid that before Nan Nan could get into the family, she would be stumbled by the high standards of the Zhai family and suffered a major and merciless setback.

Qiao Dongliang was aware that, recently, the few members of the Zhai family were seemingly on good terms with their family. In particular, today, all the four family members of the Zhai family came to his house one after another.

However, that was only because Madam Zhai liked Nan Nan. When the party who liked Nan Nan was changed to Zhai Sheng, the situation would be very different.

The Zhai family could accept a G.o.ddaughter like Nan Nan but may not be willing to accept a daughter-in-law like her.

Qiao Nan pursed her lips for a moment. “Dad, I’m doing this because of Brother Zhai. In this world, besides Dad, Brother Zhai is the only one who’s good to me. A man that’s so good to me and also so outstanding, Dad, tell me, how many women in this world will not be tempted?”

“Dad, don’t look down on me. I’ll definitely work hard. When I’m successful in the future, I won’t let the Zhai family use my family background as an excuse to stop me from being together with Brother Zhai.”

“Such arrogant words. You’re not afraid of being a laughingstock?” Qiao Dongliang was both angry and amused. Mostly, his heart ached that Qiao Nan had to work so hard.

“What’s there to be afraid of? I’ll walk my talk.” Furthermore, she had already said this to Chief Zhai in the exact same manner.

Qiao Dongliang touched Qiao Nan’s head. “Nan Nan, you’re still young. There’s nothing wrong in working hard. Dad won’t advise you regarding other matters, but Dad just hopes that you will promise me one thing. As a lady, you have to love and protect yourself. I heard that you also learn this at school. Do you understand what Dad means?”

Until now, Qiao Dongliang could not forget that piercing feeling in his heart the moment he saw Zhai Sheng coming out of Qiao Nan’s bedroom. It was as if his precious treasure had been taken away by someone.

“Dad, what are you talking about? Brother Zhai is a gentleman. I’m not stupid either.” Qiao Nan blushed. She had been dating Brother Zhai for a few months. Besides holding hands and having little hugs, they had never kissed.

Even in this era, it was very rare to have such a pure love and dating relations.h.i.+p such as that of Brother Zhai and her.
