Zhai Sheng’s leg was not entirely all right, but neither was he entirely crippled. He would simply have to walk about less in the meantime. Besides, his hand was still in perfect condition. Qiao Nan’s congee was all ready for Zhai Sheng. He was still able to scoop some out for himself.

All right. See you tomorrow.
No matter what, today’s experience had brightened up Qiao Nan’s bad mood. Today had been the happiest and most relaxing day she had ever had since she had woken up from her dream.
It was said that people should enjoy themselves at that given moment. Even if she was confused between her dream world and reality, as long as her ‘foolishness’ did not cause any harm or confusion to others, there was nothing wrong with remaining foolish. At least, she was happy. Perhaps she might even be able to accept this reality even better if she were to face it with such an open mind.
She had already been through so much and had come so far. All these small challenges would not faze her.
Zhai Sheng was observant and noticed that Qiao Nan had walked away with light and quick steps, proving that Qiao Nan was in a good mood.

Don’t send me off. I’ll lock the door behind me. But the landlady’s son has gone back to Ping Cheng, and I’m going home now too. Will you be fine spending the night alone?
Qiao Nan was about to shut the door when she realized that Zhai Sheng had followed behind her in a wheelchair.

Of course.
Zhai Sheng answered loudly and a little sensitively without even caring about what the premise of her words was. Once a woman brought up the topic of whether ‘it was all right’, very few men could keep their calm. At least at that moment, Zhai Sheng expressed how much men minded that topic when Qiao Nan mentioned it.
Once Zhai Sheng returned from his trance, he naturally realized that Qiao Nan had no other meaning to her words and that he had been overly sensitive. Zhai Sheng awkwardly patted his waist.
Do you think I’ll have any problems with this accompanying me?
Robbers would probably not be so unscrupulous as to strike and rob the Zhai family’s house now that he was still injured.

All right, then. I’ll take my leave.
Thinking about how Zhai Sheng had a gun and his superb shooting skills, Qiao Nan felt that her question had indeed been rather unnecessary. If Zhai Sheng was unsafe alone, how had she survived all these years after having moved out of the Qiao family’s house?
After Qiao Nan left, Zhai Sheng, who had only returned to the Zhai family’s old villa to recuperate, suddenly felt a little weird. He realized that he had gotten used to having someone around him, even if the other party did not really speak to him. After that person left, the atmosphere changed, and he was now unused to it. It seemed as though the peace and quiet he had been after were too quiet for his liking.

He was a grown man who did not have the habit of reminiscing, so what was this weird feeling that he had all of a sudden? A confused Zhai Sheng wheeled his wheelchair back to his room to get some rest.
In order to recuperate, Zhai Sheng, who hardly had any time to rest, had started to sleep even earlier than elderly people!
Zhai Sheng and Qiao Nan had finally regained their own peace, but there was still unrest in the Zhai family in Ping Cheng. Miao Jing looked at Zhai Yaohui in surprise.
Do you mean that the person who picked up was a woman and not Zhai Sheng? Are you joking around? Are you sure you didn’t hear wrongly?

Zhai Yaohui sighed.
Don’t get your hopes up. I’m just afraid that the higher your expectations, the greater the fall. Do you not know about Zhai Sheng’s temper? So what if it was a woman? Weren’t there quite a few nurses and female doctors who had been interested in him? They had interacted with Zhai Sheng and had taken care of him the entire time he was ill, but was there anyone he had any reaction to?

Zhai Sheng himself did not mind it, but his personal problem had become a huge headache for his parents.

What do you mean?
Miao Jing was confused.

I suspect that this woman is no different from those nurses and doctors from before. She’s only staying by Zhai Sheng’s side to take care of him for a certain reason. Zhai Sheng has absolutely no feelings for that woman.
That was the person who had been hired to take care of Zhai Sheng.

That may not be the case.
Miao Jing was excited.
Think about it. It was exactly because of those female nurses and doctors that Zhai Sheng eventually found a male doctor and no longer had much interaction with those nurses. This time, he insisted on returning to the Zhai family’s old villa to recuperate and brought only one soldier with him! He brought no females at all!
No matter how they looked at it, that woman could not be just any ordinary woman to be able to stay by Zhai Sheng’s side to take care of him!
Perhaps there really was some hope!
There was nothing Zhai Yaohui could say about his wife’s wild imagination. Both of them knew very well about their son’s temper. He truly did not believe that such a thing would happen to Zhai Sheng.
If just anyone could get close to Zhai Sheng, stay by his side, and get remarried to him, did he and Miao Miao really need to worry so much about how Zhai Sheng would remain single once they were gone?
But what Zhai Yaohui, who completely disagreed with Miao Jing, did not know was that a woman’s sixth sense could be scarily accurate at times. There were no absolute impossibilities in the world. Once the impossible became possible, Zhai Yaohui’s expression would only be more interesting than Miao Jing’s feelings at this moment.
Of course, Zhai Yaohui had no idea that such a future would come. At this point in time, he was more concerned about Qiu Chenxi.
You’ve never liked Qiu Chenxi and neither has Zhai Sheng ever had any feelings for Qiu Chenxi. If Qiu Chenxi ever comes knocking on our door in the future, don’t let her in. She has nothing to do with our family anymore.

Before today’s call, Zhai Yaohui had already been infuriated at Qiu Chenxi for cheating on his son. But Zhai Sheng had refused to get into another relationship after his divorce from Qiu Chenxi. Even if there was only a millionth of a chance, Zhai Yaohui could not cut Qiu Chenxi off.

What if Zhai Sheng really could not come to terms with it and would not be satisfied with simply being in love with Qiu Chenxi and insisted on getting married to Qiu Chenxi even if he had no feelings for her because he felt that it was his neglect that caused her to have an affair? What would happen then?
If that was really the case, at least he and Miao Miao could rest assured that Zhai Sheng would have someone by his side once they were gone, even if the couple did not have any children in the end.
But now, things were different. Zhai Sheng had told him about Qiu Chenxi’s situation so calmly. This was proof that Zhai Sheng would much rather remain single his whole life than have anything to do with Qiu Chenxi ever again.
Zhai Yaohui himself had entirely cut himself off from Qiu Chenxi. From now on, Zhai Yaohui and Miao Jing should follow suit and cut her off too. It was apt to say that the two families would simply sever all ties.
