When he received Qiao Nan’s phone call, that good mood of Zhai Sheng dissipated thoroughly. If it was just phone calls, Zhai Sheng could also do so while he was in the camp. Wasn’t the reason that he wanted to go home was to meet Qiao Nan face-to-face during her school vacation?

Fortunately, although the Qiu family had a plot, Zhai Sheng also had his strategy.

The next day, Zhai Sheng simply brought Miao Jing with him to the house of the Qiao family.

Hence, unknowingly, Miao Jing had been ‘deceived’ under the cover of a diversion.

It could be said that the relations.h.i.+p between Zhai Sheng and Qiao Nan was known to everyone in the Zhai and the Qiao family. Not taking into account Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin, Miao Jing was the only one that was not in the know.

At the sight of the muddle-headed Miao Jing, Qiao Dongliang found it too awkward to stay at home. Each time Miao Jing visited, Qiao Dongliang would find an excuse to leave the house.

Although he was also the ‘victim’ and Zhai Sheng was the wolf who wished to prey on his daughter, from another perspective, he had to admit that his own family’s Nan Nan had also abducted other people’s son.

“Nan Nan, why do I keep feeling that your dad leaves every time I come? Is he unhappy about my visit?” Miao Jing looked at Qiao Dongliang’s back sullenly. “Did I do something wrong?”

“…”

“…”

As the ‘main culprits’, Zhai Sheng and Qiao Nan exchanged looks with each other. Zhai Sheng explained, “Mom, Auntie Ding is not at home. Uncle Qiao is a man and the lady owner is not around. It’s not convenient for him to entertain you. You should understand Dad’s temper.”

“What has it got to do with him? I’ve never seen him finding it inconvenient or cautious when he entertained Qi Minlan alone,” Miao Jing said unhappily. She could not be too close with another man. Then, on what grounds did Zhai Yaohui have to be on such good terms with Qi Minlan?

“Don’t talk about your dad. I feel angry at the mention of him. Why couldn’t he let me go back to my hometown? Why!”

Qiao Nan, who was ‘arrowed’ again, bowed and dared not speak.

At the sight of the guilty look on Qiao Nan, Miao Jing understood. Miao Jing looked at Zhai Sheng. “Zhai Sheng, I’m thirsty, but I don’t feel like drinking water. Can you help me buy some drinks back? Remember, I want something cold. I don’t want it if it’s not cold enough. Hurry and go.”

Zhai Sheng looked at Qiao Nan to confirm that Qiao Nan could handle this. He then left according to Miao Jing’s wish.

“Nan Nan, do you have anything to explain to me?”

“Yes.” Qiao Nan nodded. “Auntie Miao, I feel that Chief Zhai actually cares a lot about you. He will be jealous because of you. Maybe the person in Chief Zhai’s heart is not Qi Minlan but you.” A man’s reaction could not fool others.

The domineering att.i.tude that a man had toward a woman could be due to selfishness. Nevertheless, it could also be due to the importance of the woman in his heart.

If Chief Zhai did not have feelings for Auntie Miao, his expression that day would not show any uneasiness or unhappiness, but tremendous anger. He would feel that he had been betrayed and shamed, not hurt.

“You’re just a child. What do you know?” Miao Jing did not believe the outcome of Qiao Nan’s test this time. “No matter what your reason is, even if it’s for my own good, don’t let this happen again. Understand? In the past, my heart had no freedom. Now, even my body does not have any freedom.”

In the past, Zhai Yaohui did not care about where she went. Now, Zhai Yaohui watched her like a hawk. It was as if he was a dog guarding his own dog house.
