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.

There were some things that he would never be able to resolve completely, but he would at least try to give Qiao Nan a good living environment. If he could not even do that, he could not blame Qiao Nan for trying to avoid him or ignoring him. It would not be worth it for Qiao Nan to muster up her courage and fight for someone like that.

"You're right. There are some misunderstandings that have to be explained. There's another thing that I agree with. Women are indeed petty. It's just as well. I already have someone in mind. Nan Nan, why don't you help me analyze it? Normally, she's a good person, and even the child in our family likes her. But I didn't expect her to be so adorable when she gets angry and petty. Yes, she doesn't really look like such a generous person, but I guess there are advantages of being petty. If she had not shown that side of her to me, I wouldn't have known that not only do I like her, but I actually also have deep feelings for her. Women are petty indeed. Don't you think so, Nan Nan?"

Zhai Sheng's words were obviously targeted at a certain someone.

Jiajia was the only child in the Zhai family, and Zhai Hua and Jiajia had only started contacting the Zhai family at the end of last year. No matter how Qiao Nan thought about it, there was only one woman, no matter her age or status, who got along with Jiajia and knew the Zhai family.

Thinking again about her agitation and reaction earlier, Qiao Nan felt her heart pounding even more rapidly. "How-how would I know whether being petty is good? That's for you to decide. I-I won't give my opinion on it."

Humph! Who was being petty? She was not petty! She was not angry either. No, the person Zhai Sheng was referring to might not even be her. Who said that he was interested in her? Qiao Nan's mind was in a mess and could not even rationalize anything at this moment.

The redder Qiao Nan's face got, the surer Zhai Sheng was that he had not been wrong. Qiao Nan's avoidance of him was because she had feelings for him. What could make him happier than knowing that the woman he liked liked him back?

"All right, you don't have to tell me now. You're welcome to let me know your opinion any time you want to. I'll keep your suggestions in mind. But men are different from women, and age matters as well. There are too many styles and patterns of clothes for young ladies nowadays. Just the sight of them makes me confused. Qingshui Town might be small, but there are still shops around. Why don't you go shopping with me first? If we can't find anything right, we can go to Ping Cheng to have a look."

As he said that, Zhai Sheng took Qiao Nan's hand and pulled her along without giving her a chance to refuse.

There was no way Qiao Nan could rival Zhai Sheng's strength, and all she could do was to be dragged along by Zhai Sheng. "Wait a minute. If we're really going out, I have to lock my door. No matter how good the security around here is, I can't leave my door unlocked. Hold on."
