Seven years ago, after knowing that Zhai Sheng suddenly became the father of three children and everyone was praising him for his good fortune, it was unknown if Peng Yu was being spiteful as he casually said that it was either he didn’t get married in the future, or if he did, her wife should not be worse off than Qiao Nan. The number of children his wife gave birth to couldn’t be fewer than Qiao Nan’s as well.

  These words were easier said than done. Those who had a family history of multiple births didn’t compare to Qiao Nan in terms of educational qualifications, capabilities, and job. On the other hand, if they were similar to Qiao Nan in these aspects or even surpassed her, it was only that their families usually gave birth to only one child.

  Aside from Qiao Nan, it was one thousand times more difficult to find someone else who was a combination of the two.

  When he was in the army, he usually competed with Zhai Sheng on wits and strength. Peng Yu didn’t find a suitable marriage partner and thus, wasn’t married even today, let alone being a father.

  On the other hand, Zhai Sheng, whom he saw as his competitor, was not only a father but his triplets were already seven years old this year and attending primary school. Peng Yu himself wasn’t anxious. However, Father Peng and Mother Peng were anxious to be grandparents.

  Father Peng sighed. “That’s true. However, are you really going to get married only at the age of fifty? Furthermore, how do you feel about Qiu Chenxi? Don’t forget that she’s already thirty-one this year. Even if you can wait, she can’t. You should also give her a clear answer if you want to marry her or not. You can’t possibly drag until she’s forty or fifty years old, where she would have completely lost the qualifications to be a mother, then give her a depressing answer, right?”

  After all, they were considered to have formed an alliance. Qiu Chenxi was capable as well. Basically, she had obtained a number of things from Old Master Shi.

  From this point alone, it could be said that Qiu Chenxi was not bad. If she really married into the Peng family, she could more or less help his son out. Moreover, his son was getting older every day.

  \r \r \r

  In the end, Father Peng didn’t expect that this woman would get together with her son. Father Peng initially didn’t accept a woman like Qiu Chenxi either. There were so many good women in the capital. Why should they consider Qiu Chenxi?

  However, his son had a strange temper. The other women became scared upon seeing him and got married before they could become his son’s girlfriend. For so many years, Qiu Chenxi seemed to be the only one who had kept by his son’s side and didn’t break up with him because he was staying in the army for a prolonged period of time.

  Father Peng, who had long wanted grandchildren, had no choice but to forcibly accept Qiu Chenxi as a candidate for his daughter-in-law.

  “Her?” Peng Yu smiled sarcastically. “Dad, I’m not surprised that she could deceive Old Master Shi, that foolish old man. That’s because he wasn’t very smart even when he was young. At the very most, he was just more fortunate. I didn’t expect her to have fooled you though. Regardless of who I marry, I can’t possibly marry her.”

  Based on his dad’s attitude, it showed that Qiu Chenxi had put on a successful disguise as she could even fool his dad, who was a sly old fox.

  “What do you mean?”

  “What do I mean? Dad, Qiu Chenxi isn’t lacking men. As long as she’s willing to, she could become the mother of a few children. The number of children she had before definitely wouldn’t be less than Qiao Nan.” He had stayed in the army for a prolonged period of time. However, this didn’t mean that he didn’t know anything and wasn’t clear what kind of person Qiu Chenxi was.

  “Moreover, I have never acknowledged that she’s my girlfriend. From the start to the end, we are just business partners. She just casually threw a few smoke bombs. Based on the fact there aren’t many people around me, you really think that she became my target? What a joke. I’m picky as well, alright?”

  Anyone who was casually pulled off the streets would be better and cleaner than Qiu Chenxi.

  Father Peng was confused. “Qiu Chenxi likes to mess around?” The number definitely wouldn’t be less than Qiao Nan? Did this mean that Qiu Chenxi was pregnant before and not only once? It was highly possible that not even one of them belonged to the Peng family.

  Peng Yu smiled. “Qiu Chenxi is a woman with wild ambitions and someone who couldn’t stand loneliness at night. Not to mention anything else, based on the fact that she was someone Zhai Sheng no longer wanted, did you think I would have picked her up? I don’t collect trash. You don’t have to understand certain things. However, since we’re mentioning this today, I’ll just add in a few words. Dad, Qiu Chenxi leads a pretty exciting life. The number of men she had is more than the number of women I had. If she wanted to be the mother of my child, she had to be at least cleaner.”

  Forget it that she couldn’t compete with Zhai Sheng’s wife in any aspect. If she was dirtier than Qiao Nan, why would he want such a woman?

  Peng Yu didn’t care what others said. However, he had to make it clear to his birth father. “Dad, I’m not related to Qiu Chenxi at all. We don’t even share an ambiguous relationship. In the future, regardless of what she says, as long as she mentions me being involved with her, you can pretend not to hear anything. She can’t get married to Zhai Sheng and is thus hitting the idea on me. She could only choose me if she didn’t want to admit defeat and wanted to prove this to Zhai Sheng.”

  Not a lot of people dared to compete with Zhai Sheng now. He was one of them. He was also the one who did so most obviously and was the most powerful candidate.

  He had intermittently created a lot of trouble for Zhai Sheng for the past seven years. Zhai Sheng got promoted quickly, but his speed wasn’t any slower either. He still had just a little bit more to go before getting to the same rank as Zhai Sheng.

  Qiu Chenxi had done her calculations and targeted him.

  It was a pity that even if he went blind, it was impossible for him to want a woman like Qiu Chenxi. Before marriage, he could fool around however he liked. However, he couldn’t accept a woman who fooled around before marriage. He liked to be strict with others and lenient toward himself.

  It was impossible for a woman who failed his requirements to be the mother of his future child.

  Father Peng was really angry this time around. He had been cheated by Qiu Chenxi.

  His son was away from home all year round. During the holidays, Qiu Chenxi always went to their house. She said that Peng Yu wasn’t free, so she was offering filial piety to them on behalf of him. They had thought that their son had accepted Qiu Chenxi and both of them were in a romantic relationship. He didn’t expect that these words were of Qiu Chenxi alone from the start to the end, and Peng Yu didn’t mean this at all.

  If it wasn’t that he was in a hurry to be a grandpa, he wouldn’t have minded who the woman was as long as his son was willing to get married and settle down with her. Otherwise, Father Peng’s temper was the same as Peng Yu. After all, they were father-and-son.

  How was Father Peng willing to let his own son pick up the woman Zhai Sheng didn’t want? Furthermore, Qiu Chenxi was alone.
