Grandma Zhai looked at Zhai Yaohui. “Aren’t you tired? You are going to fall sick if you keep running around at this age. Yaohui, aren’t you free now? Take Miao Miao to buy some new clothes.”

Grandma Zhai should have been the one for the job, but she was not fit enough to ride the car at her age. Therefore, she had to leave the job to the men.

Old Zhai always listened to his wife.

Moreover, he could tell what Grandma Zhai’s true intention was.

“Speaking of which, I just realized that my leg has been hurting. I was shot in war years back, and that injury must have been recurring lately. I’m sorry, Miao Miao. I can’t be the one to follow you around today. Tell my son if you need anything and take some cash with you.”

Zhai Yaohui handed a stack of cash to Miao Jing. It was at least a hundred yuan.

Miao Jing had never had so much money before and thus avoided it subconsciously. “No… I… I will just ask Brother Zhai if I need anything.” Having someone to buy it for her and receiving so much money were two different stories.

Miao Jing felt that it was not appropriate for her to hold onto the money.

“You are a girl, so there are things that are not appropriate to ask from a guy like your Brother Zhai. Take the cash.”

Grandma Zhai had nothing against Old Zhai giving her money. Since Miao Jing was already in her family, Grandma Zhai was going to treat her like her own child.

Miao Jing didn’t know what to do. “I… I have never had so much money. What if I lose it?”

Old Zhai answered her swiftly, “If the money is lost, I will bet your Brother Zhai up!”

Miao Jing was at a loss for words. Why was Zhai Yaohui getting punished for her mistake?

Old Zhai said that Zhai Yaohui was trained to be vigilant, and he should be able to spot it if anyone tried to steal the money. If someone really got their hands on the cash, Zhai Yaohui deserved to be beaten up as it would mean that his years of training had gone to waste.

Zhai Yaohui saw nothing wrong with it. “Take the money with you. If you find it embarrassing, I can wait for you outside the store.”

If he refused to take her out, he was worried that his father would say worse things about him.

Miao Jing would rather figure things out on her own than have Zhai Yaohui follow her around.

However, since Zhai Yaohui had agreed to it, Miao Jing didn’t dare to say anything. She could only follow behind timidly as Zhai Yaohui ordered her to board the front passenger seat of the car.

Zhai Yaohui was satisfied with the way Miao Jing followed his instructions religiously. “I’m starting the engine.”

Miao Jing wore the seatbelt carefully before nodding.

After receiving Miao Miao’s acknowledgement, Zhai Yaohui stepped on the gas. The car zoomed off, giving Miao Jing a shock of her life.

Unfortunately, Qi Minlan happened to see Zhai Yaohui driving off with Miao Jing when she returned from her friend’s house.

All of Qi Minlan’s friends knew that she was Zhai Yaohui’s ‘girlfriend’. “Minlan, why is a girl sitting in your boyfriend’s car? Does Zhai Yaohui have a sister? Why have you never mentioned it?”

Qi Minlan’s expression was sulky as she knew for a fact that Zhai Yaohui didn’t have a sister in his family.

If the Zhai family did, Grandma Zhai wouldn’t have treasured her like a daughter.

So, where did this woman come from? If Zhai Yaohui dared to do anything sorry to her, she would never forgive him!

Watching Qi Minlan’s expression go from bad to worse, her friends figured that that woman wasn’t Zhai Yaohui’s sister. “She might just be a friend of his. We all know how popular Zhai Yaohui is in school. However, Zhai Yaohui hasn’t allowed anyone near him except for you. However, as a friend, I do have to say that you are spending too much time with us. Zhai Yaohui is graduating soon, so he must be pretty free. Aren’t the two of you spending too little time on dates?”

It would have been understandable if they were in a long-distance relationship.

However, they lived close to each other, but she couldn’t even remember the last time that Qi Minlan went on a date with Zhai Yaohui. No matter how much her friend believed her words, it didn’t seem like what normal couples would do.

“Minlan, Zhai Yaohui is not a man that comes by easily, and you have to grab onto that opportunity. There are plenty of women waiting to take your place.” If she weren’t Minlan’s friend, she would be going after Zhai Yaohui as well.

“I know that.”

Qi Minlan took a deep breath. “I grew up together with Zhai Yaohui, and his mother sees me as a member of their family. The relationship between us is already accepted by the Zhai family. Not only am I Zhai Yaohui’s girlfriend, but I’m also his fiancée. Those women stand no chance. I will ask Zhai Yaohui about the woman in his car when he’s back, and he’d better give me a good answer.”

Her friend pondered before speaking. “Don’t start a fight with Zhai Yaohui. If your relationship falls apart, those women are going to have a good laugh.”

Qi Minlan calmed down after listening to her friend’s words.

She had nothing to gain from fighting with Zhai Yaohui, and she would only become a laughingstock for other girls.

She would never do something foolish like that.

Qi Minlan knew that Zhai Yaohui was not a man that would comfort her.

If she spoke to Zhai Yaohui calmly and logically, Zhai Yaohui would reply in the same way.

However, if she were to throw a tantrum, Zhai Yaohui would not bother saying a single word to her.

After so many years, Qi Minlan had Zhai Yaohui figured out.

The only problem was that Qi Minlan couldn’t control her temper.

If Qi Minlan were to act like a princess around Zhai Yaohui, he would never let her have it her way.. “Lanlan, I know that you are saying it for my sake.”
