Chapter 489: Are You Really Giving Up?Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Yes, he’s a treasure of the Zhu family, but I’m not sure if he’s anyone else’s treasure. You already knew that Brother Zhai was at my house this entire afternoon. What do you intend to do then?” Wait, something was not right. “Why did you suddenly come to my house?”

“Because I’ve been to Brother Zhai’s house and I heard that Qiu Chenxi came back. There’s no reason that Qiu Chenxi arrived home but not Brother Zhai,” s.h.i.+ Qing said sullenly.

She had caused inconvenience to the Zhai family for the whole morning. She only left after she could no longer endure a bursting bladder.

When she arrived home, she found out that Qiu Chenxi had returned from the army and even came to look for her at her new house.

If Brother Zhai was not out of the camp, Qiu Chenxi would definitely not look for her.

Since Qiu Chenxi had already arrived home, Brother Zhai should have arrived home even before Qiu Chenxi did.

After thinking, s.h.i.+ Qing thought of a possibility. She thus went to the house of the Qiao family to try her luck.

Never did she expect that she would hear Zhai Sheng’s voice coming from the house even before she could knock the door. With that, she guessed that Zhai Sheng was in the house without going into it.

There were a few times that s.h.i.+ Qing mustered her courage and wanted to knock on the door and enter the house. She could at least meet Brother Zhai and have a chat with him. However, when she realized that Brother Zhai’s tone and voice was something that she had never heard before, s.h.i.+ Qing lost the courage to knock on the door.

“…” s.h.i.+ Qing was really good.

“I don’t want to give up.” s.h.i.+ Qing’s pained voice came from the phone.

Qiao Nan sighed. “Although I don’t know if this happiness eventually belongs to me, at the very least, I don’t wish to give up now.”

“You don’t seem quite confident.” Brother Zhai clearly liked Qiao Nan so much. What did Qiao Nan have to worry about?

“Not confident.” Qiao Nan smiled bitterly. “In front of Brother Zhai, I’ve never had much confidence. I don’t think I’m much worse than Brother Zhai, but my thinking does not represent that of others. Subsequently, it does not represent what the Zhai family thinks. China is a very conventional society. Who will be able to completely ignore how others see you and live in a carefree way? s.h.i.+ Qing, I may not be confident when I’m facing others, but when I face Qiu Chenxi and you, I’m still quite confident. This is because all three of us are not accepted by Auntie Miao.”

“Why?” What was wrong with her that Auntie Miao did not like her?

“I can only say that you wouldn’t be here if Auntie Miao could accept you. Most likely, Qiu Chenxi would have gotten engaged with Brother Zhai long ago. The reason why Qiu Chenxi and Brother Zhai’s matter was dashed was mainly due to Auntie Miao. On the other hand, it’s also partly due to Brother Zhai’s att.i.tude.”

“No wonder…” It was no wonder that Auntie Miao behaved strangely when she visited the Zhai family this afternoon. “Auntie Miao doesn’t accept you? Why?”

“Tell me, what else can it be?”

“I don’t think so. We’re already in this era. Do they still have so many conventional excuses?” s.h.i.+ Qing did not believe it. “Since Brother Zhai is such a good man, Auntie Miao must be an elder who’s very understanding and morally principled. Can it be that you’re just being paranoid?”
