Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Their bodies were stuck against each other. There was nothing wrong with Zhai Sheng, but he had not touched her even after such a long while, and neither had he moved away. But she had not seen the reaction that she had seen in Zhai Sheng that morning. Did that mean Zhai Sheng had no interest in her at all?

The humiliated Qiu Chenxi flew into a rage and scolded Zhai Sheng before asking him to sleep in the study. Zhai Sheng was not afraid of Qiu Chenxi, but he was more than happy to sleep in the study. Without saying a word, he picked up his pillow and left.

From then on, Qiu Chenxi could not help but observe if Zhai Sheng treated all women in this manner. If it only applied to her, Qiu Chenxi had to worry that Zhai Sheng had found a vixen outside, who would threaten her position.

But if he treated all women in this manner, Qiu Chenxi would be angry nonetheless. She knew that there were men in this world who did not like women and could even be homosexuals.

Qiu Chenxi was waiting for Zhai Sheng to trip up so that she would have something to hold against him, but she had not even one thing to threaten him with. With no other choice, Qiu Chenxi had to back down. In their three years together, Qiu Chenxi had observed that Zhai Sheng had not been close to her, but neither did he have any other women he was close to.

Unless there was a special situation in which he had to hire a professional like a nurse, Zhai Sheng did not have many opportunities to get close to females. How Zhai Sheng treated her was exactly how he treated other women.

This discovery made Qiu Chenxi happy and sad at the same time. She was happy that he did not, in fact, have a mistress outside. What upset her was that while it was only right for Zhai Sheng to treat those other women in this manner, she was a different case. She was Zhai Sheng's wife. How could Zhai Sheng treat her in the same manner as those unfamiliar women outside? She had a special place in Zhai Sheng's heart!

Qiu Chenxi did not see any problem in Zhai Sheng not getting close to any other women. Besides, as a soldier, Zhai Sheng's timetable was no different from a student's. He had no free time at all. In that way, Zhai Sheng did not even have any personal time to spend with anyone he fancied.

Of course, the past did not matter to Qiu Chenxi anymore. What mattered was the scene before her. It pierced Qiu Chenxi's heart.

Apart from her wedding day, she had never had the experience of sitting in the same car as Zhai Sheng. But a mere caretaker like Qiao Nan had been able to do that! On that day, a soldier had been their chauffeur, and there had been another soldier in the passenger's seat. She was unsure why Zhai Sheng had gone to find Qiao Nan this time, but what she knew was that given Zhai Sheng's temper, either he or Qiao Nan would have sat in the front passenger's seat even if he had gone to find Qiao Nan for an official matter.

Why was she seeing Zhai Sheng sitting in the back with Qiao Nan? It even looked like they were sitting rather close to each other! She had never been in such close proximity to Zhai Sheng even before their divorce!

Thankfully, Qiu Chenxi had not driven into Qiao Nan's apartment complex and had not seen Zhai Sheng holding her hand when they got out of the house.

Qiu Chenxi, who had roughly guessed Zhai Sheng's intention of looking for Qiao Nan, felt numb in her heart. She had always felt that Zhai Sheng was like a gun, dangerous and cold. Zhai Sheng would never participate in a festival in a small town. On the contrary, he would try his best to avoid it. But Zhai Sheng had come to participate in one today. What's more, he had even brought a caretaker, Qiao Nan, along!

Before Zhai Sheng and Qiao Nan had alighted from the car, Qiu Chenxi could comfort herself and tell herself that it was not impossible for a caretaker to be with Zhai Sheng. As an old employer, Zhai Sheng could be looking for Qiao Nan for some official matters.

Unfortunately, when Zhai Sheng alighted from the car, she saw that the person who had always been cold toward her had not only opened the door for Qiao Nan but had even placed his other hand over the car door in case Qiao Nan bumped her head on it while coming out. Qiao Nan had not hit her head, but Qiu Chenxi felt like she had been stabbed in the heart.

Qiu Chenxi had thought that that was the biggest blow, but the two of them had not taken a few steps before Zhai Sheng grabbed Qiao Nan's hand in his. Because of how close she was, Qiu Chenxi could be sure that Zhai Sheng had taken the initiative to hold Qiao Nan's hand. After holding Qiao Nan's hand, Zhai Sheng had not shown any discomfort on his expression, and he even seemed as though he was enjoying it.

Seeing Zhai Sheng's mouth move, Qiu Chenxi saw some unwillingness in Qiao Nan's expression. At that moment, Qiu Chenxi felt as though someone had hit her on the head with a hammer. Her mind was entirely blank.

Qiu Chenxi was just like a stalker, following behind the couple, all the while calculating just how long Zhai Sheng had been holding onto Qiao Nan's hand for. Afterward, her heart dropped when she saw the two of them walk into different shops like a couple.

What made Qiu Chenxi nearly lose her mind was a shop owner laughing and commenting when the two of them had walked into a shop while holding hands. "You look like a great couple. You're even holding hands! I was the same when I was younger, but now that I'm older, she's annoyed with me and doesn't let me hold her hand anymore. Are you picking something out for your daughter? What does your daughter like? Do you want me to recommend you something?"

A couple?

What a joke!

Qiu Chenxi, whose heart was already in a mess, had the urge to rush forward and tear that shop owner's mouth apart before gouging his eyes out. What was the point in having eyes if he was not using them? One was a chief, while the other was only a caretaker! How could they look like a good match? How could they look like a couple!

It was the first time Qiao Nan was interacting with Zhai Sheng alone and they had even held hands! Even if Qiao Nan had been unwilling, and even though they were still not in an official relationship, Zhai Sheng was still overjoyed. Because of his joy, he naturally let his guard down.

It was only when he led Qiao Nan back to the car with bags in his hand did Zhai Sheng finally realize through the reflection of the car that there seemed to be someone sneaking behind him and Qiao Nan.

He was unsure how long that person had been following him for, what intention he had, or whether that person was an enemy or a spy.

"Chief?" Xiao Xu piped up when he noticed Zhai Sheng's unusual expression.
