The weather is not cold yet, but it’s still bad for your body to sleep without drying your hair,
Zhai Sheng said as he picked up a dry towel and helped Qiao Nan dry her hair.
Qiao Nan did not even raise her head. She could not care less.
Even though my hair is long, it dries quite quickly. Just let it drip for a while longer. In less than half an hour, the ends of my hair will definitely be dry. I’ll be able to sleep then. I know what I’m doing.


What are you writing?
Zhai Sheng did not argue with Qiao Nan. Since he was at home today, he could help Qiao Nan dry her hair. Normally, Qiao Nan would not even shower so late at night, and neither would she be so tired that she would want to lie down on the bed immediately after her bath to sleep for twelve hours. Today was an exceptional situation.

Nothing much. I’m just recording how much we spent on this trip.
Qiao Nan closed the accounts book. This had been a habit from her previous lifetime that she had brought over into this one. Even if she no longer counted every single cent carefully and pinched pennies to get by like in her previous lifetime, Qiao Nan felt that it was necessary to have an accounts book like this to keep track of her monthly expenses.

All right, since you’ve finished recording it, let’s go to sleep.
Seeing Qiao Nan close the book, Zhai Sheng did not hesitate to carry Qiao Nan onto the bed.
It’s already very late. Hurry and go to sleep.
Zhai Sheng kissed Qiao Nan on the eyes and hugged her within his embrace.
Qiao Nan hugged Zhai Sheng’s slender waist.
You’re being so obedient today.
Was he not going to bother her?
Zhai Sheng inhaled sharply and gave a hard slap on Qiao Nan’s buttocks.
Since you know the situation I’m in, don’t provoke me. Even though you don’t need to go to work tomorrow, we’ve had a long day after coming back from our holiday. Rest well. We still have all the time in the world.

Although Qiao Nan had just taken a slap on her buttocks, she was not angry. Instead, she chuckled stiffly. With a father like Qiao Dongliang, Qiao Nan had never experienced the most common love a daughter received from her father, let alone being treated like a princess. After being together with Chen Jun, Qiao Nan slowly understood how it felt like to be taken care of and loved by someone.
But after getting married to Zhai Sheng, Qiao Nan finally understood how it felt to be treated like a princess. If her hair was dripping wet, there would be someone to dry it for her. If she got hurt and bled, Zhai Sheng would be even more concerned than her. Just like now, although Zhai Sheng clearly wanted it, he knew that her physique was not the best and that the trip had drained her completely of all her energy. As such, he knew that she would need a good rest.
Zhai Sheng, who was always ferocious and domineering in bed, controlled his urges so as to let her sleep well. It felt so good to be pampered like a princess.
Qiao Nan smiled, and the next moment, she was already asleep.
Feeling that delicate body in his arms that was not only soft but also fragrant and attractive, Zhai Sheng laughed bitterly before hugging Qiao Nan even closer. After reciting the military code of conduct in his heart, he finally fell asleep.
That night, everyone had gone to bed early and woken up late the next morning. Thus, everyone was full of energy. Even Qiao Dongliang had forgotten that he was in the Zhai family’s house instead of his own, and had slept so comfortably that he only got up at eight o’clock the next day.
Seeing that Zhai Yaohui and Miao Jing had already finished their breakfasts, Qiao Dongliang was extremely embarrassed.
Zhai Yaohui waved Qiao Dongliang over.
Hurry over and have your breakfast. You have enough rest, but your stomach is probably growling.


Okay, chief.
In front of Zhai Yaohui, Qiao Dongliang was not only stiff but also nervous. While he was still a soldier, the chief whom he had never had the fate to meet turned out to be his in-law! Now, they were even sitting at the same table to have a meal together! This was like a dream come true for Qiao Dongliang.
However, when Qiao Dongliang thought about how this honor was all due to his younger daughter, but his younger daughter had never relied on him after getting married, Qiao Dongliang’s mood sank again.
Zhai Yaohui pushed the soymilk in front of Qiao Dongliang.
Let bygones be bygones. It’s not that the past isn’t important, but if you feel apologetic toward Nan Nan, then even more so, you should seize the present and future to protect your daughter. It’s never too late as long as you’re still alive.

Instead of sitting here and sighing with a guilty expression, he might as well do something more practical to protect his child. Zhai Yaohui was used to the iron-blooded military style of handling things. There was no use just ‘thinking’. One had to ‘do’ it. Qiao Dongliang was just wasting his time and life by wallowing in shame and misery.
Zhai Yaohui’s lips twitched. No wonder Qiao Dongliang had left the army so easily after having a second child. If Qiao Dongliang had been a good soldier, his superior would never have agreed to it. His superior would even have persuaded him to stay, or given him a solution to this problem.
But Qiao Dongliang leaving with such ease said a lot about his mediocre performance within the army. On the account of their relationship, no one had said anything while he was still in the army. But they were probably over the moon when Qiao Dongliang decided to leave the army on his own accord.
In this way, Qiao Dongliang was neither a good soldier nor a good father. So up until today, what was the only thing that Qiao Dongliang had done well?

Yes, old chief, you’re right.
Qiao Dongliang sat upright, just like a young child being disciplined by his teacher.
Don’t worry, old chief. I’ll try my best to help Nan Nan in this situation. Zijin cannot be saved, but I will never let Zijin ruin Nan Nan.

As for how he was going to do it, Qiao Dongliang was going to have to think carefully about it once he returned home. He had to find a way to win with just one move so that all these news reports could no longer develop, and Qiao Zijin could no longer continue with her antics.
This matter had been going on for almost half a month. Qiao Dongliang felt that it was time to put an end to it.
Qiao Dongliang had yet to think of a good solution. The moment Zhai Yaohui returned home, he received a piece of news and immediately told Qiao Nan that the time had come. It was said that the public was foolish and easy influenced and cheated. The truth was usually unexpected.
As such, even though they held the real truth in their hands, Zhai Yaohui had not asked Qiao Nan to prove her innocence right away. If she did so, someone might take that opportunity to accuse her of having a guilty conscience. Otherwise, if she were truly innocent, Qiao Nan would not even need to come out and try to clear her name.
After the matter had gone on for a while, many people had already released their pent-up emotions and were relatively calmer. They would naturally follow when Qiao Nan released the truth of the matter.
