When Zhai Sheng came out from the study room, Zhai Hua’s first reaction was to look at him.

  Zhai Sheng frowned. “Zhai Hua, come to my room. I have something to talk to you.”

  “.……” This was the exact tone and words that her father used when he told Zhai Sheng to go to his study room.

  In the end, Zhai Hua still went to Zhai Sheng’s room. “What do you want to talk to me about?”

  “Mom has not slept a wink yesterday because of you.”

  “What about me? It is no wonder that Mom does not look good today.” She had been dating Wei De for some time. Her mother should not have been losing sleep because of this, right?

  “You are asking me what it is!? Previously, when you did not stay at home or at the army camp, where had you been?”

  “One thing that our parents are most worried about right now is whether they will become grandparents unknowingly. Therefore, Zhai Hua, should you give them a surprise or shock? You should know the old master’s temper. He may seem tough and healthy, but he cannot take shocks. This may happen in other families, but it will never be allowed in the Zhai family. Let’s not talk about our parents. If you are pregnant, do you believe that the old master will be the first to rush back to skin you alive?”

  “.……” Zhai Hua blushed at the topic that her brother was talking to her about. She could not imagine that her brother would talk to her about the intimacy between her and Wei De. She did not have the courage to answer him.

  It was only when he mentioned the old master that she looked up to deny. “I have never forgotten how grandpa used to teach me when I was young. All…… all of you have been thinking too much. We only held hands. We did not do anything else.”

  Of course, it was not that Wei De had no intention to take the relationship further. It was Zhai Hua who refused his moves.

  “Really?” Zhai Sheng relaxed slightly.

  “Of course. Do you think that I am someone to be trifled with? I may not win in a fight against you, but I can knock other people down easily.” Zhai Hua bragged about her physical strength, but she had also revealed important information unknowingly.

  \r \r \r

  True enough, Wei De had the intention to take things further.

  However, Wei De was not physically stronger than Zhai Hua. He must have been kicked out of the bed by Zhai Hua and ended up in failure.

  For the first time, Zhai Sheng felt that it was a good thing for ladies to be physically strong

  He was even happier that Wei De did not really participate in the training when he was in the army.

  Otherwise, a sturdy man like Wei De would not be overpowered by Zhai Hua.

  After all, men were physically stronger than women.

  “Very good. I think Dad and Mom can sleep with peace of mind tonight. Zhai Hua, as your family, I have to remind you of one thing. You have to stand firm with regard to the intimacy level between you and Wei De. You must not allow him to overstep the boundaries. You should know our parents and grandpa well. You must not listen to what other people say and do something that cannot be undone in a moment of urgency. The idea ‘what’s done is done’ does not work in our family and it is too despicable.” After affirming that nothing had happened, Zhai Sheng wanted to make sure that it would remain status quo.

  If Zhai Hua was pregnant, Wei De would have the means to threaten the Zhai family to agree to his terms.

  “That’s for sure. I will never resort to that.” If she wanted to do that, she would have done it long ago. Wei De had thought of this idea a year ago.

  It was also because Zhai Hua was concerned about her family’s feelings that she rejected Wei De’s suggestion time and again. As time passed, Wei De grew to be more and more dissatisfied with Zhai Hua.

  “Alright, then I have no more to say.” Since Zhai Hua started to date Wei De, this was the first time that she looked pleasing to the eye. “I will talk to Dad so that he can tell Mom later. She will be able to sleep well tonight. If not, she will have darker eye circles when she wakes up tomorrow.”

  “.……” Zhai Hua blushed. She did not have the courage to explain to Miao Jing.

  In the past, Zhai Hua would address Miao Jing affectionately. Now, she was able to behave affectionately to her. However, she still felt distant to her.

  Zhai Yaohui relaxed when he learned that Wei De was not as physically strong as Zhai Hua, and therefore, he did not succeed in bringing things further. “If you have a daughter with Qiao Nan in the future, you must make sure to train her as well.”

  It was very important for women to have the upper hand at a critical moment.

  At the very least, it would work when faced with people like Wei De who had ulterior motives.

  “Of course.” He had already thought of ways to train his daughter.

  It was late in the night and Qiao Nan’s nose felt very itchy all of a sudden. She sneezed quite loudly.

  “Nan Nan, I heard that people are down with pyretic cold recently. Have you been infected as well?” Ever since Qiao Zijin’s visit, Qiao Dongliang would stay at home every night. He would not stay with Ding Jiayi at the hospital.

  Since Ding Jiayi could walk by herself and take care of her own needs, Qiao Dongliang could not be bothered to stay at the hospital throughout the night.

  Qiao Nan sniffed. “My nose feels itchy. I’m in good health. I am certain I have not caught a cold.” It was just that someone was thinking of training her future daughter into a Muscle Babe.

  Qiao Dongliang breathed a sigh of relief. “Since it is the summer break after the college entrance examination, you should not tire yourself out from too much reading. It is so late. Shouldn’t you turn in for the night?” Qiao Dongliang put aside the Oxford Dictionary that Qiao Nan had in her hands.

  Qiao Nan had spent two years reading through the Oxford Dictionary that Shi Peng gave her. It was used so often that some of the pages had come out.

  Since this dictionary was torn, Qiao Nan turned to the dictionary that her master, Lin Yuankang, gave her.

  As the curriculum in the college was different from high school and students would need to choose their major, Qiao Nan did not do any studying in advance. However, that did not mean that she had nothing to study.

  Now that she no longer needed to do her reading for different subjects, Qiao Nan would focus her attention on the Oxford Dictionary. She spent so much time on it that it might end up like the previous dictionary that she had-torn and tattered.

  Since Qiao Dongliang had put aside the Oxford Dictionary, she could not study in secret.

  Qiao Nan smiled sweetly. “Alright, I will sleep slightly earlier today. Dad, you should have an early rest as well. My mom…… Did she make things difficult for you?”

  At the mention of Ding Jiayi, Qiao Dongliang’s expression turned cold in an instant. There was a look of repulsion in his eyes.

  “My mom…… Did she come up with new tricks again?” Qiao Nan sighed. Her mother must be up to something for her father to have that expression. Was it necessary for her to do that?

  Her father had said that her mother wanted to stay as a family and for them to lead a happy life together. Why would she be up to tricks again?

  “Come up with new tricks?” She was indeed up to something again!

  “I suppose your mom does not want a divorce, so she is up to something again. Let her be. I will not change my mind this time,” Qiao Dongliang said resolutely.

  Ding Jiayi came up with something unexpected on the second day that Qiao Zijin visited Ding Jiayi.
