Chapter 1083 - Complement Each Other

1083 Complement Each Other As long as Wang Yang stopped thinking of ‘cooperating’ with her, Qiao Nan did not care how he thought of her.

After the incident with Wei De, she was fearful of the mention of the so-called ‘collaboration’.
Another person took Wang Yang’s empty seat as soon as he left.
Qiao Nan looked toward the person who sat in front of her.
You are finally here. I thought that you will be hiding from me until my wedding day.
Qiao Nan sighed. She did not know how to face the stubborn young man who sat opposite her and kept glaring at her.

Why not me?
Zhu Baoguo asked stubbornly.
Initially, he had given up. However, he was unconvinced after he overheard the conversation between Qiao Nan and Wang Yang.
Why not me? I spent more time with you. I treated you very well and I defended and protected you. I am as good to you as Zhai Sheng is. Why did you choose him instead of me? If you are willing to wait for me, we will get married after you graduate from university and I promise the wedding will be as grand as what you have now.

Zhai Sheng was the regiment commander. As long as he was willing to work hard, he believed he could do it as well.

You are still young, and you did not choose Zhai Sheng because of those external conditions. Therefore, you should not be in a hurry to get married. Are you being forced into it?

As the only grandson of the Zhu family, since a young age, many girls would express their interests in him. Among them, many were very pretty.
Even after Zhu Baoguo went to PLA National Defence University, many female students in the school liked him.
But Zhu Baoguo knew that most of them liked him because he was the only grandson of the Zhu family. They did not really like him for himself.
Now that he had known such an outstanding girl like Qiao Nan, he would never take a fancy to other girls who liked him for other selfish reasons.

Yes, I am still young. In fact, I just went to university. I am young and I still have a lot of time. I have a lot of other choices.
Qiao Nan took a deep breath.
But the problem is Brother Zhai is five years older than me. He has his own responsibilities and has to be responsible for his family. I may have time but he doesn’t. I am not in a hurry, but Brother Zhai is. Brother Zhai is such a good man. I am afraid that if I don’t agree, I will lose him. What’s more, I have decided that I want to be with him. So it doesn’t make a difference if I get married earlier or later.


No, there is a difference. If I get married to Brother Zhai as early as possible, I will be able to spend more time with him and we will have more time as a married couple. Am I not in a hurry? No, I am in a hurry!

Zhu Baoguo’s face turned green. He clenched his fists in anger.
Is he really so good to you? Will you not have any regrets?


Well, Brother Zhai is a good man. If I don’t agree to marry Brother Zhai now, I will definitely regret it in the future. Brother Zhai is the first person to be nice and kind to me since I was born. You might say that I have developed an attachment to him as he is the first person to be nice to me. Zhu Baoguo, there is something that I have never spoken to you about. But I feel like sharing my thoughts with you now. Think about it. Actually, you have similar feelings toward me.

She had a high fever after she was through rebirth.
Her mother and sister were thinking of ways to delay her treatment so that she would miss her enrollment and would have to quit school to work.
At that time, it was Brother Zhai who brought her home and gave her medications for her fever. Thanks to him, she had a place to rest and to recover from her fever.
After that, whenever she encountered troubles and could not overcome it, Brother Zhai would lend her a helping hand. He helped her through difficulties time and again. He assisted her to realize her dreams in her two lifetimes and to take the path that she wanted.
The feelings that she had for Brother Zhai were not simply a sense of attachment.

Zhu Baoguo, it is possible that you like me, but don’t you think that it is not love but family ties that you have for me? There is something known as Electra complex and there is also something known as the Oedipus complex.

Qiao Nan’s demeanor changed toward the end.
She used to regard Zhu Baoguo as her son. She suspected that it was because of her attitude that Zhu Baoguo mistook her for his mother.

Do you dare to deny that if I didn’t take extra care of you, you wouldn’t take a fancy to me and develop feelings for me? Zhu Baoguo, perhaps you haven’t figured out the feelings that you have for me.


Crap!
Zhu Baoguo’s face turned red.
How can I not tell what kind of feelings I have for you? I know that you are smart, but you should not treat other people as fools. Perhaps what you said is somewhat true, but it is certainly not entirely true.

Zhu Baoguo was not as gullible as he used to be four years ago. He would not take everything that Qiao Nan said to be the truth.
Zhu Baoguo knew that right from the start. It was because Qiao Nan saved him and took care of him that he had a good impression of her. But his feelings for her had changed gradually.
Qiao Nan smiled bitterly.
The foolish son has grown up and is no longer as gullible as before.

The feelings that one had for each other were complicated and could not be explained clearly. However, the foolish son had grown up and goading him no longer worked. He was able to analyze and rebut her.
Zhu Baoguo was angry at being called ‘foolish son’ by the girl that he liked. He felt like punching someone.
Qiao Nan, don’t go overboard. I am a man. I am not your son. I…

At this moment, Zhu Baoguo missed Shi Qing terribly.
If Shi Qing was standing right in front of him, he would fight with her without another word. At most, he would go lenient on her.
However, it was Qiao Nan who sat right in front of him, and he had already decided to protect her at all costs many years ago. No matter how angry he was, Zhu Baoguo would never lift a hand on Qiao Nan. Moreover, she was not physically strong at all.

Alright, don’t be angry. There are many good women in this world. Why are you so inflexible and stubborn and insist on being with me? Don’t be disheartened. There are a lot of good ladies around you. You must grab hold of the chance and woo her. If you miss the chance again, you will regret it for the rest of your life.

Qiao Nan had a relaxed smile on her face. She was thinking of Shi Qing.
Shi Qing was a good girl. She was more suitable for Zhu Baoguo than she was.
Qiao Nan spent four years ‘raising’ Zhu Baoguo, her foolish son. She was sorry that his feelings were hurt.
However, Qiao Nan was glad that Shi Qing would make up for it. She no longer needed to worry for Zhu Baoguo.
