In short, a good lady like Fang Fang did not need to worry about being left on the shelves.
If Gao Yan was not capable, he should quickly give up. Why was there a need to burden others as well as himself?
Gao Yan gritted his teeth. “Are you spurring me on?”
“Are you going to fall into the trap then?” The childhood phobia had impacted Fang Fang deeply. Qiao Nan wanted to test how much patience Gao Yan had for Fang Fang. If he did not have a lot of patience, he would eventually dispel thoughts of being together with Fang Fang. If he had enough patience, Qiao Nan felt that it was still possible between this young couple.
Gao Yan smiled bitterly. “No wonder Fang Fang is so close to you.” On the contrary, Fang Fang refuted everything that he said although he grew up with her. She was extraordinarily stubborn.
Qiao Nan did not have the patience to listen to such words from Gao Yan. “Are you proud that she is closer to me? That should be something that I am proud of. On the account that you have taken two flasks of kuding tea that day, I’ll tell you the good news. After the end of today, you won’t have any rival-in-love for the time being. If you are so stupid to let that man come in between and snatch Fang Fang away again, don’t come and look for me anymore.”
After dealing Gao Yan with enough blows, Qiao Nan generously stuffed a sweet into his mouth.
True enough, as soon as he heard that, Gao Yan seemed to have been injected with chicken blood. His hair that was down previously stood up. “What do you mean by I don’t have a rival-in-love for the time being? Is it what I am thinking of?” Fang Fang had broken up with that man? However, when she saw Fang Fang last time, Fang Fang and that man still seemed to be on quite good terms.
Qiao Nan rolled her eyes at Gao Yan. “Act dumb.” This was a gifted student of Peking University. Although his company was not operating on a large scale yet, he was a promising CEO. He was playing dumb before her. Meaningless.
After confirming that the truth was aligned with his thoughts, Gao Yan clasped his hands excitedly. “This news is not fake, right? Yes, it must not be. Why would Fang Fang lie to you? It must be true. Why did they break up? Forget it. It’s better that I don’t know. As long as this is the outcome—no, do you want to remind me what wrong that man did to annoy Fang Fang, lest I commit the same mistake next time?”
Fang Fang had broken up with that man. This would mean that his opportunity was coming.
“You don’t need to know why.” Qiao Nan did not wish to remind Gao Yan about this at all. She wanted to see how true Gao Yan was toward Fang Fang. If Gao Yan’s feelings for Fang Fang were real, it was the same whether to give this reminder or not. If it was not true enough, this was a good chance to make Gao Yan give up completely on Fang Fang and not pester her anymore.
Gao Yan always believed that Qiao Nan was his ally and advisor, and Qiao Nan had helped him a lot on this matter.
However, he did not know at all that before he could turn his head, Qiao Nan immediately thought of dragging him down and distancing him from Fang Fang.
“Da Bao, Er Bao, can uncle play with you?” The elated Gao Yan squatted in front of Da Bao and Er Bao to express that he would like to play with them so as to repay the help from their mother.
After taking a glance at Gao Yan, Da Bao and Er Bao turned away their faces in disdain.
This person was already so old, yet he still wanted to play with them?
It was uncertain why but both Fang Fang and Gao Yan did not gain the triplet’s favor. Occasionally, the triplets were still willing to touch the toys given by Gao Yan. However, they did not know that these items were from him at all.
The triplets had never agreed to let Gao Yan play with them.
In fact, the triplets usually had fun on their own. Hence, they did not really like adults to play with them. Although they liked to pester their mother, at most, they just wished that their mother was by their side, watching them play.
Toward people that they did not like or were unfamiliar with, the triplets were not willing to bother about them.
This was the first time that Gao Yan met with such a situation. He even laughed that other families’ children were very easy to kidnap, but not these three children of Qiao Nan. They were too difficult to cajole.
“Alright, my family’s triplets don’t need you to play with them. Do whatever you need to. Also, reflect on yourself properly. If you really miss this opportunity, don’t ever step into my house again.” She was never on very close terms with Gao Yan. It was all because of Fang Fang that she and Gao Yan had a little interaction.
If the two of them did not successfully become a couple, Gao Yan should visit the Tian family’s residence instead. This did not have anything to do with the Zhai family.
Qiao Nan did not give Gao Yan face but he did not take issue on this. At this very moment, he was totally struck by the news of Fang Fang falling out of love. “Alright, I won’t disturb you anymore then. I will look for uncle and auntie to have a meal.”
“Okay.” Qiao Nan responded. Obviously, Gao Yan was not willing to give up on gaining his in-law’s favor.
Qiao Nan rubbed her forehead. Due to Fang Fang and Gao Yan’s matter, Qiao Nan could not help but think of someone else: Qiao Zijin.
Qiao Nan hardly contacted the Qiao family. At most, she would make a call home once a month. Furthermore, Qiao Dongliang had to be the one taking the phone call each time.
Precisely because of this, Qiao Nan heard that Qiao Zijin and Chen Jun, who were married and gave birth to a child in their previous life, had broken up. Chen Jun had spent so much money on Qiao Zijin but he did not recoup any of his losses in the end.
If Qiao Zijin really wished to be with Chen Jun, Qiao Nan felt that given the Chen family’s situation, they could still satisfy Qiao Zijin and Ding Jiayi’s materialistic needs. With such a good son-in-law like Chen Jun, and Qiao Zijin being her mother’s favorite daughter, her mother would look for Qiao Zijin to settle any matters in the future.
Now that the two had broken up, Qiao Nan was especially concerned about Qiao Zijin’s future marriage.
She was not concerned about the type of man that Qiao Zijin would look for in the future. She was troubled that her mother and Qiao Zijin would plot something on her.
“Mom, hungry.” San Bao rubbed her little tummy and pounced into Qiao Nan’s arms. She pulled Qiao Nan back to reality from her thoughts.
Qiao Nan carried San Bao’s heavy and sturdy body. “Is San Bao feeling hungry? Are Da Bao and Er Bao also feeling hungry?”
