He and Qiu Chenxi might even reach that stage, but the appearance of Qiao Nan was beyond everyone’s expectations. Qiao Nan was like a hammer that had unconsciously smashed the Zhai family’s ice wall that was as fragile as a gla.s.s ball, causing the stiff atmosphere in the Zhai family to gradually warm up like springtime.

Zhai Sheng could feel that his parents’ relations.h.i.+p had improved, and Zhai Hua was gradually becoming more willing to express her own feelings. At the mention of this, Zhai Sheng could not help but think about someone who had been long forgotten: Wei De.

Actually, when Zhai Hua had first gotten together with Wei De and had even been willing to bring Wei De home to meet the Zhai family, Zhai Sheng was surprised. A year ago, Zhai Sheng believed that Zhai Hua would never have brought Wei De home or even let the Zhai family learn of Wei De’s existence.

On the other hand, Zhai Hua was definitely not one who would keep it from everyone to get what she wanted and go all out to accomplish her dreams.

There was no reason for Zhai Hua not knowing the Zhai family’s temper. No matter how blindly in love she was, Zhai Hua should know very well that she could fall for anyone but a man like Wei De. She should never think that a man like Wei De was worthy of her.

Therefore, the moment the Zhai family met Wei De, they would definitely not be seeing just one person. Zhai Sheng felt that Zhai Hua would directly fling their marriage certificates in front of them as proof. That was Zhai Hua’s style.

Since she had already guessed that her family would disagree to her being together with the Wei family, and she felt that she would live a blissful life with Wei De, there was no need to waste any more time. Anyway, the person getting married was her, not her family. There was no need to care about whether her family agreed to the marriage. She would just have to find a way to get married. Then, her family’s objections would be useless.

There was no doubt that the Zhai family would go to war if Zhai Hua had done so, and the relations.h.i.+ps between the family members would definitely sour. It might have seemed that Zhai Hua was being decisive and resolute in bringing Wei De home to meet the Zhai family for them to get to know him. But compared to Zhai Hua’s way of doing things in the past, this was already much milder and meeker!

The whole family, including Zhai Sheng, knew that Zhai Hua had been under Qiao Nan’s influence. That was why she had not let that happen.

In the end, it was indeed true that Wei De was unsuitable for Zhai Hua. With this gentler style of handling matters, Zhai Hua had the opportunity to come to a realization and turn back, eventually finding her true happiness.

The atmosphere at home only got better, and the relations.h.i.+ps between family members only got more harmonious. It was as though the sun was s.h.i.+ning down on the family, chasing away the coldness on a cloudless winter day. This warmth was truly soothing, and it penetrated into their hearts and bones.

This was how a family should really feel like.

Qiao Nan was thankful that she had the opportunity to marry a good and real man like Zhai Sheng. Similarly, Zhai Sheng was grateful for Qiao Nan’s appearance. It was Qiao Nan who allowed him to feel the warmth of a family.

With such a blissful life today, Zhai Sheng did not even want to recall how his life had been in the Zhai family twenty years ago, when he had not yet met his wife, Qiao Nan.

He had lived in that manner for twenty years! Their triplets were truly fortunate. Because of Nan Nan, the Zhai family had changed completely by the time the children were born.

“Children shouldn’t interfere in adults’ affairs. But does that mean that adults should also just stand aside and observe children’s affairs?” She had been married to Zhai Sheng for more than twenty years and had known him for almost thirty years. Qiao Nan knew that Zhai Sheng’s expression meant that he felt guilty.

Was that to say that if she had not been in the picture, Qiu Chenxi would really have become the chief’s wife, and it would be a dream-come-true?

“Don’t let your mind wander. I can’t deny that it would have been impossible between me and Qiu Chenxi if you weren’t in the picture. After all, one has to get married and have children in one’s life. My dad paid so much attention to Qi Minlan, and Mom’s matchmaking was distorted. I didn’t have much free time. Rather than wasting time on women, I would much rather sacrifice myself for my country and the army.”

He would definitely get married, but it did not really matter to him whom his wife would be.

As long as it was convenient and would not distract him or hinder his development in the army, he really did not care who his wife was. Based on his way of thinking, Zhai Sheng had never felt that the woman who married him would be at an advantage.

A typical military spouse already had to deal with more than an average woman. To be Zhai Sheng’s wife, that woman would have to be the benchmark amongst military spouses and would have to deal with a lot more than ordinary military spouses.

Whether the young lady whom he married was one whom he wanted and liked, she would get a totally different treatment from Zhai Sheng.

Qiao Nan harrumphed and unhappily turned around. With her back facing Zhai Sheng, she huffed. “If you had not met me and brought me home that day, and we had not known each other, you might just have married Qiu Chenxi. Qiu Chenxi would have become the chief’s wife, and her daughter wouldn’t even need to continue her work to become the chief’s wife. So if you had married Qiu Chenxi, I would have had nothing to do with you. But I would have had to get married and have children eventually too. Who do you think I would have married?”

Qiao Nan herself knew that if she had not met Zhai Sheng, she would probably have dated Chen Jun, who was scheming and had bad intentions from the start. But she would never have gotten married. In the end, she would stay single until her death.

It was just that a ‘situation’ had arisen on Zhai Sheng’s side and she could not afford to lose. She had to let Zhai Sheng understand that if he could have married someone else, so could she. No one would have been at a loss!

Hearing that Qiao Nan could have married a man other than himself, Zhai Sheng’s expression darkened immediately. It was just that Qiao Nan had her back facing him and could not see him.

With a black face, Zhai Sheng tried to suppress his anger. He had no intention of listening to such a topic. It was too harsh. “Who else could you have married other than me? Even if there was someone willing to marry you, you couldn’t have married him either. You could only marry me and be the mother of my children!”

Now that he was unhappy, especially after hearing his most hated hypothetical situation, Zhai Sheng pulled Qiao Nan into his embrace and forcefully undressed Qiao Nan without hesitation. Since they were upset from talking, they might as well do something that would lift their moods.

“You old rascal!” Qiao Nan stared wide-eyed at Zhai Sheng, who had already bared his arms, taken off his pants, and was now on top of her. She could hardly believe it. It had just been a moment ago that they were talking about serious matters. But in the blink of an eye, Zhai Sheng was already doing something like this. “I-I’m still angry!”

Why was it that Zhai Sheng could marry someone else, but she could not?

If Zhai Sheng were really to marry someone else, and she was still unmarried, that would be too unfair!
