Chapter 488 - A Special Way of Getting Along (2/2)

The situation of Zhai Yaohui and Zhai Sheng might seem bitterly disappointing in other families.

Nevertheless, Zhai Yaohui brought Zhai Sheng up in this way since the latter was at a young age. The father and son were already used to this. This had become a special way in which they got along with each other.

“h.e.l.lo?” Qiao Nan, who had a little walk after her meal, received a call when she was preparing to bathe and go to bed.

“Sleepy? Going to bed soon?”

“…” Qiao Nan knitted her brows. “You are… s.h.i.+ Qing? How did you know my phone number?” She had not told her before.

“Don’t need to bother about how I knew about it. Qiao Nan, this afternoon, I loitered at the entrance of your door for more than an hour.”

“…” Qiao Nan fell silent for a while. “Then?”

“Isn’t there a saying that when you fail in love, you will win at a gamble? Why is it that I had to suffer another setback in love when I already suffered one in my examinations? All the good things befell you. Isn’t that too unfair?” s.h.i.+ Qing’s sullen voice could be heard from the other side of the phone.

Qiao Nan sighed as she sat on the sofa. “If it’s true that all the good things happen to me only, then I’ll be so mad with happiness. s.h.i.+ Qing, you just came here for a month. Most probably, you had been focusing on your studies in order to compete with me for the top place in the first-year cohort. My life is not as good as you think. Also, s.h.i.+ Qing, when you talk about first-come-first-serve, it’s not feasible in this situation. In comparison to Qiu Chenxi and you, I got to know Brother Zhai last. But for love-related matters, it’s not just about how long you’ve known each other, and it’s not about first-come-first-serve either. It’s because the person appears at the right timing. Understand?”

“So, are you telling me that you’re the right one that Brother Zhai met at the right time?”

“s.h.i.+ Qing, I’m telling you this because you did not tell Auntie Miao about Brother Zhai and me. I’m not sure if I’m the right person in Brother Zhai’s life, but before the outcome is known, I’m working hard for it because both Brother Zhai and I feel that we are the right one for each other.”

“Brother Zhai said that he will marry you?!!!” s.h.i.+ Qing’s heart nearly suffocated.

“Yes, I rejected him. I’m still too young and have not reached the legal age for marriage. Furthermore, there are a lot of issues between Brother Zhai and me. We need to settle the problem about Auntie Miao first before we can consider marriage. So, I’ve told Brother Zhai clearly that we will talk about it two years later.”

“You’re telling me this. Aren’t you afraid that I’ll be jealous to death and play some cheap tricks on you?!” s.h.i.+ Qing gritted her teeth. The pain in her heart made her cry.

So, she was still too late?

She had thought that since it was impossible between Brother Zhai and Qiu Chenxi now, her opportunity finally came. Even if there was already Qiao Nan, she was prepared to give it a try for the sake of her own happiness.

She never would have imagined that that opportunity of hers was actually created due to Qiao Nan’s appearance.

“If you wanted to, you would have already done it. Moreover, I believe you. You won’t.”

“Don’t be overconfident!” On what grounds should Qiao Nan believe in her? She was also a woman. She, too, could be scheming. She would also feel jealous. She was jealous that Qiao Nan s.n.a.t.c.hed away the Brother Zhai that she had liked for ten years!

Qiao Nan laughed. “Are you crying?”

“Bulls.h.i.+t!” s.h.i.+ Qing nearly spurted out vulgarities.

“I wonder how happy Zhu Baoguo will be if he knows that you cried.”

s.h.i.+ Qing was stunned for a while before wiping away her tears. “I didn’t cry. I’m warning you. Don’t talk about my matter in front of that moron. That Zhu Baoguo is an idiot who’s well-developed physically. None but the Zhu family treats him like a treasure!”
