Chapter 1729: A Better Attitude
She had thought that Zhai Sheng would no longer be Qiu Chenxi’s target now that she had Peng Yu. She thought that Qiu Chenxi would change her target. Who would have expected that Qiu Chenxi would get her daughter to inherit her mom’s career and continue setting her sights on the men of the Zhai family?
Faced with all three generations of Qiu Chenxi’s family’s obsession with the men of the Zhai family, Qiao Nan did not know how to react.
That day, not only did Gao Feng have his dinner with the Zhai family, but he also spent the night at their house. Whether it was Gao Feng, Zhu Yu, or Tian Haoran, these children would always have their own beds when they slept over, even if they could not have their own rooms. In the capital where every square foot of land was precious, it was already not easy that the Zhai family could place so many beds in their house.
The house that the Zhai family was living in was given to the Zhai family because of Zhai Yaohui. With Qiao Nan’s financial abilities, it would be easy for Qiao Nan to find a bigger and better place than this, even though they were in the capital. Qiao Nan would not even have to spend a single cent on purchasing a new home. She would simply have to spend some time and effort to move her things over to a house that her master had left to her among the huge inheritance that he had passed down to her.
But the Zhai family did not mind living the way they did, and Qiao Nan herself was not that extravagant. Since there were many kids at home, it was a little cramped. But that also meant that their home felt warmer and cozier. After all, the children were all grown up and spent more time outside than they did at home with their elders.
If they were to move to a bigger house, it would be comfortable when there were more people around. But when there were fewer people, an empty house would seem too cold for Miao Jing and Zhai Yaohui. Taking her parents-in-law’s opinions into consideration, Qiao Nan gave up the idea of moving.
Sleeping in a familiar bed, Gao Feng slept well through the night. Gao Feng felt right at home with the Zhai family. His father was good at making money, and they were not lacking financially. They had no problem buying any kind of house they wanted even in a place like the capital.
To let his mom live comfortably, his dad had really bought a mansion. But there were not many people living in such a large house. Moreover, his parents had a good relationship and were always showing public displays of affection. As such, Gao Feng had no good feelings toward his own mansion at all.
No matter where he stayed, he felt the most comfortable and at ease at the Zhai family’s house. Unfortunately, his childhood friends were not by his side. Otherwise, it would surely be more lively and comfortable.
He wondered if his elder brother, Da Bao, had found a girlfriend after entering university. It was best if he had. As long as Da Bao had a girlfriend, Ma Yuanyuan should not have the guts to appear in front of Da Bao. If Ma Yuanyuan really did that, she would be the third party in a relationship. She would be interfering in someone else’s relationship and snatching someone else’s boyfriend!
Sigh. He could only hope that Ma Yuanyuan had her own limits and her pride as a person and would not blindly follow whatever her mom said regarding Da Bao and commit a folly because of that. Actually, whether his elder brother, Da Bao, was in a relationship or not, Ma Yuanyuan did not even stand a chance either way. He liked girls like Ma Yuanyuan, but she was not the type of girl that Da Bao would take a fancy to.
Realizing that he had constantly been thinking about Ma Yuanyuan after lying down, Gao Feng was slightly frustrated. He tried to stop himself from thinking of her. No matter what Ma Yuanyuan decided to do, it would still take two to tango. Ma Yuanyuan’s lone efforts would not result in success.
Even if he could not trust Ma Yuanyuan, he should have faith in his elder brother. Yes, that was it. After convincing himself, Gao Feng finally threw the blanket over himself and closed his eyes to sleep.
Knowing that his son was not returning home and was going to spend the night at the Zhai family’s, the heartless father, Gao Yan, was pretty happy. That would only mean that the third wheel would not be around, and they could continue having their time alone as a couple. Yes, actually, he would not mind if his son spent more time at the Zhai family’s house when he came home on the weekends or during his school holidays.
But Fang Fang was not in such a good mood like Gao Yan was. After her son entered high school, she could only see her son once a month. He had finally returned home but had gone to her sister’s house to spend the night instead. She missed her son dearly. “It’s all your fault. Can’t you treat Fengfeng nicely? Why do I feel like you’re treating Fengfeng as a free gift that you got when signing up for a mobile contract? Is he really your son?”
“Of course he is.” If he was not his own son, would he have let Gao Feng hog his wife for so long? If it had been any other man, Gao Yan would have sent him to his death no matter what kind of person or age he was after occupying Fang Fang’s heart for such a long time. It was just that the one snatching his wife away from him was his own biological son. No matter how uncomfortable that made Gao Yan, he had no choice but to swallow it.
It could be said that Gao Yan had been jealous for an entire year while Fang Fang was still breast-feeding Gao Feng. He felt that he was sharing what belonged to him with another ‘man’. That was terrible! If he could, he really wanted to give this ‘someone else’s husband’ away.
The only reason that Gao Yan could not give him away was that he did not even know whether his daughter-in-law had already been born, or who she was. Otherwise, Gao Yan might really have sent his son over to his future father-in-law.
It was better to cultivate their feelings for each other from a young age, after all. Just like how he and Fang Fang were childhood sweethearts. How awesome was that!
“Your own son? I can’t tell at all.” Fang Fang could not understand what was in Gao Yan’s head. All she knew was that her son had finally returned home, but Gao Yan had chased him back out. The angry Fang Fang stared at Gao Yan before hitting him with a pillow. “Go sleep in the study room. I’m angry just looking at you!”
She was in a cranky mood now that her son was not at home. The sight of anyone made her upset.
“…” He had gone to great lengths to chase away the third wheel and had finally managed to complete all his work to free up some time to spend time with his wife. He was thinking that tonight would be a hot and passionate night.
But who would have known that his enthusiasm completely died down just because that dirty rascal was not at home. In the end, he even had to sleep in the study room!
Looking at the pillow that Fang Fang had stuffed in his arms, Gao Yan raised his eyebrows. Sleeping in the study room? No way! He did not want to sleep in the study room. He wanted to sleep with his wife!
With a loud scream, Gao Yan jumped toward Fang Fang, whose sulking back was facing him, and skillfully removed Fang Fang’s clothes. Initially, Fang Fang was still upset at him. But with Gao Yan’s teasing, she could only focus on the man on top of her and temporarily put her son aside.
Gao Yan and Fang Fang got along well, and Qiao Nan’s relationship with Zhai Sheng was even better.
Now, Zhai Sheng returned home more often. When Qiao Nan lay beside Zhai Sheng, it was only natural that the topic of their children came up.
