Chapter 1941 : A Clear Explanation

Although he wanted to enter the house as its owner, it was still a little early for that. But he would soon become its owner as long as he persevered.

“I don’t have tea or water. If you’re thirsty, there’s a minimart in front where you can help yourself. We were having a good chat, but it can’t compare to how open-minded you are. Since you have the same thoughts as Qiu Chenxi, you can just have a chat with her. There’s no need for an outsider like me to interfere. There’s no point in telling me so much. I’m closing this door so that I save some time for you to go back and chase your own happiness!”

It seemed as though Qiao Nan was grinding her teeth by the time she finished her sentence.

At this time, Qiao Nan seemed nothing more than a panicked cat whose hairs were all standing and claws were all showing. “Chasing after my happiness? Nan Nan, have you watched too many dramas? This may sound a little old-fashioned, but I married her out of obligation to my parents. I had no feelings for her at all. I didn’t take the initiative to find out about her situation. I can only say that it was fate. Didn’t I injure my leg and need to recuperate? Before coming to Qingshui Town, I bumped into her when visiting the doctor in Ping Cheng. As a soldier, my ears and eyes are a little sharper than average. That was why I overheard things that I shouldn’t have.”

If he did not explain himself now, Nan Nan might never open her door for him again even if he were to visit in the future. He could not carry the accusation of a cheater. Once he did, his wife would run away!

Qiao Nan’s face was filled with doubt. “Really?” Had he said that just to appease her? “Are there so many coincidences in this world?” Qiu Chenxi had gone to visit the doctor for such an illness and Zhai Sheng had just happened to bump into her and overheard her conversation?

“If possible, I wish it wasn’t so coincidental either. You can see just how easily other people can misunderstand me for it. I didn’t have any feelings for her while we were younger. Now that we’re already divorced, I feel so aggrieved that people mistake me for having feelings for her and wanting to reconcile with her. I’m not young anymore, and I can’t go through such trials anymore. What if the person I have in mind runs away because of this misunderstanding? Who will compensate me with a wife? Nan Nan, you can’t say such things again. Will you pay me if my wife runs away?”

Zhai Sheng said such things in a joking manner but with a serious expression.

Qiao Nan felt like a deer caught in headlights and tried to avert her gaze. “I-I can’t afford that. If it’s really a misunderstanding, it’s best to clear the air. Any misunderstandings will surely affect you getting a wife. Brother Zhai, I hope you won’t mind me telling you this. Actually, women are all very petty. Even if you meet a woman who seems generous and understanding, don’t believe her words. No woman will allow her man to remain in an ambiguous relationship with his ex.”

Zhai Sheng was in no hurry. He was already clear of Qiao Nan’s timidity and avoidance. If he wanted to claim his stakes, he would naturally have to analyze his ‘enemy’s’ situation carefully. Although he did not mind, it did not mean that others did not mind either.

Perhaps, there were even people in the Zhai family who cared that Qiao Nan did not have an equal status to him. If the Zhai family cared about such a matter, then even more so outsiders. Zhai Sheng did not mind, but he could not be sure that Qiao Nan did not either.

He did not wish for Qiao Nan to be ridiculed and mocked when they were together, causing her to have trauma from that even before they entered a relationship.
