"Okay…" Qiao Nan was confused by Xiao Xu's barrage. By the time Qiao Nan had returned from her trance, she was already in the back seat of the car on the way back to the Zhai family's old villa.

Qiao Nan felt especially uneasy with Zhai Sheng sitting right beside her. It was in the middle of winter, and the heater had been turned on in the car. Moreover, the seats of the car were made of leather. Qiao Nan wondered if it was her own illusion that she felt as though she could feel the heat from Zhai Sheng's thighs because of the leather seats.

Qiao Nan was in a trance for a while when she suddenly remembered that she had once gone to the Zhai family's warehouse to study when she had still been in school in her dream. At that time, Zhai Sheng had been seated beside her. The warmth and embarrassment that she had felt were exactly how she felt at this very moment.

But… In her dream, she had still been young. Zhai Sheng would probably not have taken advantage of her at that time. The problem was… She had already been kidnapped by Zhai Sheng to be his girlfriend when she was still in high school. What about now?

Qiao Nan stole a glance at Zhai Sheng. She had not expected Zhai Sheng to look right back at her the moment her gaze landed on him. This scared Qiao Nan so much that she did not even have time to process what had happened before she turned away.

"…" Xiao Xu, who was driving, was speechless. They were already in their forties. Why were they more innocent than young children in their first relationships? Why did they have to feel embarrassed and shy about looking at each other? Why was Zhai Sheng taking it so slowly? When would the young chief come at this rate?

Zhai Sheng stared coldly at Xiao Xu, who immediately sat straight up in his seat and dared not think about when the young chief would come. The chief was staring at him now, but he would wait and see how Sister Qiao would deal with the chief once they arrived at the Zhai family's old villa. He had to remember that there were two more people in the Zhai family's old villa today. And they were two important figures.

If Sister Qiao was old acquaintances with the chief, then she would definitely know the old chief and his wife too. At that time, Sister Qiao would surely be shocked and she would definitely let the chief have it then. Knowing that Qiao Nan would throw a tantrum, Xiao Xu was not at all worried about Zhai Sheng and was even ready to witness a good show.

"Sister Qiao, we're here. You can leave your luggage in the car and go inside with the chief first. I'll bring your luggage in later." Although he wanted to watch the show, he was afraid of getting implicated. It was better for him to be more careful and avoid gunfire. He would be satisfied with whatever remaining gunfire or the traces that it left.

The moment Qiao Nan got off the car and walked to the car trunk, Xiao Xu left Qiao Nan with these words without opening the car trunk. Instead, he immediately drove the car into the garage behind the Zhai family's villa.

Qiao Nan frowned. "Bro Zhai, what's with Xiao Xu today? I feel that he's been acting weirdly." If Xiao Xu had not undergone training, he would never have driven off with someone standing right next to the car. He might very well have driven over that person's toes!

"I'm not sure either." Zhai Sheng denied knowing anything. "Perhaps it's because he's still young that he's jumpier. There are always those few days in a month that he's as cheeky as a monkey."

"Those few days in a month?" Were those words not used only when women were on their periods? Could it be that Xiao Xu had become a woman?

"Go on in." It was not good to stand at the door. Xiao Xu was indeed too young. Qiao Nan had sensed something wrong in such a short period of time.

Thinking about how Zhai Yaohui and Miao Jing were around, Zhai Sheng could not help but wonder if Qiao Nan would be so afraid upon seeing them that she would run away. But did Qiao Nan recognize his parents?

Miao Jing, who had been waiting by the door, anxiously gripped Zhai Yaohui's arm the moment she heard a noise coming from the other side of the door. Knowing that Zhai Sheng had not managed to deal with that lady, Miao Jing thought that she might not have the chance to present her gift to that lady before the year ended. But she had not expected that the opportunity would come so quickly. "Do I look all right? Do I look presentable?"

Would she create trouble for her son and scare her son's prospect away?

Knowing that Qiao Nan did not come from a well-off background, Miao Jing did not dare to wear too flamboyant clothes. After rummaging through her clothes for a long time, Miao Jing had finally found a piece of clothes that looked relatively older. Initially, Miao Jing had wanted to give Qiao Nan a good first impression to help her son out a little. That was why she had brought good-looking clothes that were of good quality as well.

Because of that, Miao Jing had nearly gone out to buy a new set of clothes that would not be too antagonizing. In the end, Zhai Yaohui managed to persuade Miao Jing to give up that idea and to wear something that she had brought along.

"Don't worry. It looks fine." When he had met Miao Miao for the first time, there had been mud all over her face. She had not cared about her own appearance at all. Because of Zhai Sheng, Miao Miao cared much more about an outsider's opinion than his own.

Zhai Yaohui could not help but compare Miao Jing's attitude today to her attitude when he had met her for the first time. In the end, he was defeated miserably and he felt bitter.

"Old Chief, madam, have some tea." Sister Zhao carefully brought out some tea and freshly-cut fruits. Her mind was filled with curiosity and tons of questions. She could not wrap her head around the situation. Before leaving, Xiao Xu had clearly said that he was going to pick Sister Qiao up.

But the old chief and the madam were talking about waiting for their future daughter-in-law. Could it be that… No, no way.

It was only when Xiao Zhao saw that the person Zhai Yaohui and Miao Jing had been talking about was indeed Qiao Nan did she drop her jaw in shock. So when she had met Qiao Nan for the first time, it had not actually been a misunderstanding. She should have been praised for her foresight!

"…" Qiao Nan, who was walking next to Zhai Sheng, was a little stiff. Only when she reached the living room did she know that there would be even more awkwardness to come. "…"

Meeting Zhai Sheng again in real life was almost too much for Qiao Nan to accept. Now that the parents-in-law who had treated her so well in her dream were alive and well in front of her eyes, Qiao Nan was so taken aback that she could hardly react. Why was her father-in-law… Why were the old chief and his wife here too?

When she had been here previously, the elderly couple had not been in the Zhai family's old villa. She remembered Xiao Xu saying that Zhai Sheng had returned to the Zhai family's old villa alone to recuperate. None of the other Zhai family members had followed him. Could it be that they had all returned to the Zhai family's old villa to celebrate the new year with Zhai Sheng?

That could very well be the case. Would Sister Zhai Hua bring her family along to celebrate the new year with them as well?

"My dad, my mom." Zhai Sheng introduced his parents.

"Uncle, auntie—no, Old Chief, madam. How do you do?"
