“It has been three years, but we have never seen him before. Let’s not talk about whether Qiao Nan really has a fiancé. I suppose if she really has a fiancé, they must have broken up with each other. If he is dating her, but he doesn’t turn up, it must either be Qiao Nan’s or his problem. Furthermore, it doesn’t mean anything if they are still together. After all, they are just dating, not married. One can even divorce after getting married.”

  “The junior has such good conditions. Even if her boyfriend is already working, he could not be compared to the junior. Qiao Nan is so smart. She will know who to choose.” Unless Qiao Nan was stupid, she would not give up the handsome and rich junior to be with her fiancé. Besides, being with the man was similar to having no boyfriend.

  “Are you done?” Yu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips. She should have known long ago that Tang Jiayun would make harsh remarks. After all, what could she expect from a hog but a grunt? “If you are done, let me answer your question. After that, leave me alone. I don’t deny that what you said is true. Most people would make that decision under such circumstances. Both of us will make the same decision. However, Qiao Nan will definitely not do that.”

  With that, Yu Xiaoxiao did not wait for Tang Jiayun to give way to her. Instead, she grabbed her books and moved to another seat.

  If she continued to argue with Tang Jiayun in the library, the librarian might not welcome her in the future. While she was talking to Tang Jiayun, the librarian had glanced her way several times.

  Everyone was very interested in the love letter, but the party concerned, Qiao Nan, could not be bothered with it. Once she reached the Zhai family’s residence, she put the love letter aside and forgot about it.

  It was because she, who was acting as Fang Fang’s matchmaker, happened to receive a call from her right then. “Nan Nan, it’s me.”

  “I know. The phone has a caller ID display.”

  Fang Fang, who had a similar conversation in the past, found it very familiar. She seemed to have this conversation with Gao Yan in the past. The difference was that she was the one who was full of disdain back then. Today, she was the one who was being foolish. “I have a question for you. Can you keep it a secret and don’t laugh at me?”

  \r \r \r

  “No problem.”

  “What do you think of premarital sex?” Fang Fang felt very embarrassed to bring up this topic. Although she was on the other end of the phone, she could not help but blush. But she was used to the fact that whenever she was undecided, she would seek advice from Qiao Nan. She had to ask her even though it was very embarrassing for her.

  Qiao Nan slapped her forehead. “Youngsters are indeed full of vigor and vitality.”

  “.……” Fang Fang rolled her eyes. “Hey, don’t forget that not only you are married, but you are also a mother of three.” If she had not been intimate with her husband, how could she have three children?

  Qiao Nan smoothed her hair confidently. “Do you know when I got to know my husband?”

  There seemed to be a turn of events.

  “I know my husband when I was in my second year of junior high school. He is five years older than me. When I was in my second year back then, he was already at the age where he could find a girlfriend and settle down. We confirmed our feelings for each other when I was in high school. We only got engaged to each other when I graduated from high school. I finally reached the legal age in my first year of college. We collected the marriage certificate after the Lunar New Year. This September, I went into early labor as I was carrying triplets.”

  Although Qiao Nan did not seem to answer her question, Fang Fang understood her meaning. “Are you saying that before marriage, you had never been intimate with each other?” Qiao Nan knew her husband when she was in her second year of junior high school. They had feelings for each other but they waited for more than five years before they became intimate with each other. Moreover, the man was mature and was older than them by four to five years old.

  In terms of vigor and vitality, her boyfriend could not compare to Qiao Nan’s husband.

  “Fang Fang, do you think this thought never crossed my husband’s mind in the past six years? When we married, he was already twenty-six years old. Fang Fang, think about it. Why did he wait until we have officially collected the marriage certificate before we had married life? Did he not feel like it or did he respect me and thus did not wish to hurt me?”

  Since Fang Fang understood what she was saying, Qiao Nan could be more direct about it.

  Fang Fang was still an unmarried young lady while Qiao Nan was a mother. Qiao Nan was not as embarrassed as Fang Fang when talking about this topic. “Fang Fang, how about you ask your boyfriend? Will he accept it if you will only be intimate after marriage? I collected the marriage certificate when I was in my first year of college. You are already in your third year and should have no problem collecting the marriage certificate. Is the household register with you? You must remember. When you pose the question, you must have all the documents ready with you.”

  Fang Fang felt nervous, and she clenched her fists. “What if he agrees to it? Should I marry him?”

  “Of course. One should do something adventurous before one turns old.” Qiao Nan gave Fang Fang a boost of confidence. But this might make her too confident of herself. “If the two of you truly like each other, it doesn’t matter that both of you are still students and are financially unstable. As long as both of you are willing to work hard, you will definitely have a bright future. No-frills civil wedding ceremony that lacks a material foundation is the trend now. Both of you should go ahead and do it.”

  When she first brought up marriage, Fang Fang felt very unsettled and flustered. Although Qiao Nan gave her fullest support, she still felt that something was not right.

  They were talking about premarital sex, but why did they end up talking about marriage?

  Fang Fang was led by the nose by Qiao Nan unknowingly. Although she was on tenterhooks, she decided to broach the topic of marriage with her boyfriend.

  Fang Fang had yet to sort out her thoughts, but she felt that there should not be too much of a problem when she broached the topic with her boyfriend. Everything would turn out well, unless her boyfriend was not sincere to her, or that he had no wish to spend the rest of his life with her.

  If so, she should break up with such a man right away!

  Qiao Nan was shameless. She led an innocent Fang Fang by the nose and yet she was able to read her book calmly, clearly forgetting about what she had done.

  She did not have a bad impression of Fang Fang’s boyfriend, but she knew that no matter how mentally prepared Fang Fang’s boyfriend was, he could not have thought of getting married while he was still in college. Getting married was not that easy.

  Fang Fang might be impulsive, but the man would not behave as such. The Fang family knew that Fang Fang was dating a man, but her boyfriend might not have told his family about Fang Fang.

  If the man was scared away by Fang Fang when she broached the topic of marriage, it would save Qiao Nan a lot of trouble.

  Qiao Nan put this matter aside and forgot cleanly about the ‘bad’ deed that she had done. She had forgotten about the love letter as well.
