Chapter 1071: Can't Get Up

1071 Can't Get Up It was almost done...

Qiao Nan wanted to cry but she had no tears. As if it would be done! He also said the same words earlier!

Qiao Nan, who was viciously bullied by Zhai Sheng, had not expected this. To a strong and fit twenty-six-year-old man, it had been tough on him to endure several months of taking 'vegetarian food' after having 'meat' once.

Finally, he had waited until the eve of Lunar New Year. His nice-smelling wife was obediently lying in his arms and it seemed that he could do whatever he wished with her. However, Zhai Sheng, who had been starving badly, still had to suppress all his longing and desire. The big piece of meat was at the edge of his mouth but he could not take a bite of it. He could only cover himself with a blanket and sleep abidingly.

As such, the fire in Zhai Sheng's belly was extraordinarily huge.

Finally, he waited until the day that he could have 'meat'. Zhai Sheng would not be a real man if he did not act according to his wishes and take a few more bites of it.

He had reminded Qiao Nan a few times that the 'debt' she had owed certainly had to be paid back in folds. Henceforth, he would begin to 'collect' his debt from Qiao Nan.

As expected, when Zhai Hua got up the next morning, she saw Zhai Sheng having breakfast after his morning exercise with a satiated look on his face. "Oh, you can still climb out of your bed?"

Zhai Hua totally did not expect Zhai Sheng to wake up so early.

The siblings grew up together. Zhai Hua was certain that Zhai Sheng would not let Qiao Nan off last night.

Finally, his wife was in his arms. Zhai Hua believed that Zhai Sheng would not show his face for the whole day. He would certainly stick to Qiao Nan in the bedroom so that they could spend their time together.

Zhai Hua was surprised that Zhai Sheng woke up so early. However, that satisfied look on Zhai Sheng's face made Zhai Hua feel like punching someone.

Although Qiao Nan was not present, it was so obvious that Zhai Sheng was brimming with happiness. Did he wish to drown Zhai Hua, who was now single?

Before she could have her breakfast, Zhai Sheng had forced-fed her with his public display of affection. Looking at the sumptuous spread of breakfast, Zhai Hua lost her appetite suddenly. She was already full.

Miao Jing sat down and looked around. "Nan Nan... Can she still get up today?"

"..." Zhai Sheng said without a change in his expression, "The wedding photoshoot is already over. As for the other wedding preparations, it's not a must for Nan Nan to be involved. It's tough on her as she is studying. We'll let her rest well during the Lunar New Year."

"Okay." Although Zhai Sheng made it sound so pleasant, Miao Jing could only decipher one thing: most likely, Qiao Nan could not get up today. As for the next few days, it was also a huge concern whether Qiao Nan could get up. "Auntie, remember to set aside some breakfast. Don't let Nan Nan go hungry when she wakes up."

"Madam, don't worry. I have boiled and set aside some nutritious soup for Nan Nan," the auntie replied with understanding.

Last night, who in the Zhai family did not know that Zhai Sheng had 'conquered' Qiao Nan?

She knew Zhai Sheng's 'appetite' very well. The auntie had a lot of foresight. She had already prepared nutritious soup for Qiao Nan so that Qiao Nan could supplement her energy lest her health suffer.

"Pfft!" Zhai Hua spatted out the soy milk in her mouth. "Auntie, you're good." She had even prepared the nutritious soup. She had said before. It was not that the auntie was capable. It should be that Zhai Sheng was really 'capable'.

Miao Jing passed a piece of tissue to Zhai Hua. "Nan Nan is very shy. When Nan Nan wakes up later, please don't spout nonsense in front of her."

The warning in Miao Jing's words was obvious. There was nothing bad that Nan Nan and Zhai Sheng could spend more time with each other.

If the young couple did not spend time together, where would her grandchild come from then?

Zhai Hua rolled her eyes. Fine. Her mother had been possessed by the devil now because she wanted a grandchild.

When Qiao Nan really became pregnant, perhaps Qiao Nan even had to give up her place in her mother's heart to her own child.

As she thought about this, Zhai Hua felt more balanced at heart.

She could not win against her sister-in-law but Qiao Nan was squeezed down the ranks by her own child.

When Qiao Nan woke up, it was already noon. When she came out of the room, she was unable to balance herself and almost fell. Her head was also spinning. "Auntie, what time is it now?"

There was no clock in Zhai Sheng's room and Qiao Nan did not have a watch either. She felt muddled after sleeping and did not even know what time it was now.

At the sight of how Qiao Nan looked, the auntie was amused. She pointed at the clock hanging on the wall so that Qiao Nan could see for herself. This was because she knew that Qiao Nan would definitely feel embarrassed if she were to simply tell Qiao Nan the current time.

Qiao Nan blinked her eyes and looked at the auntie. "One... It's already half past one!"

"Yes," the auntie said softly. "Nan Nan, you must be hungry. Take a seat first. No one is at home. I will get you some soup. Don't let yourself go hungry."

Qiao Nan not only missed breakfast but also slept past lunchtime.

Coupled with the energy-draining 'exercise' last night, Qiao Nan could not even remember how much her stomach had grumbled.

No one from the Zhai family was at home now and she had slept until half past one in the afternoon. Qiao Nan had difficulty lifting her head. It was so embarrassing.

"Nan Nan, it's okay. I have been keeping the soup warm for you. The temperature is just right. Quickly drink it." The auntie was smiling like a chrysanthemum. Miao Jing wanted a grandchild soon. The auntie also wished to help take care of the babies.

Which of the few families that were close to the Zhai family did not already have a few grandchildren who could run about?

The Zhai family had fallen behind those families by so much regarding this.

They could not pin their hopes on Zhai Hua now. Hence, same as Miao Jing, the auntie could only target Qiao Nan's tummy.

"Thank you, auntie." Qiao Nan, who had just woken up, did not feel the enthusiastic eyes that the auntie had on her tummy. She lowered her head and drank the soup abidingly. This was because she was really feeling very hungry, so hungry that she could eat up a whole cow.

Since the auntie had given her the soup, Qiao Nan would drink it to fill her stomach first.

After drinking the bowl of soup, Qiao Nan felt more energized. At the sight of the dishes brought out by the auntie, her eyes lit up and she felt her appetite coming. Normally, she would only take one bowl of rice but she took two today.

When Qiao Nan wanted to request for more, the auntie simply stopped her. "You can't continue to eat like this. You will spoil your health. You won't feel stuffed now, but when you drink a little water later and the food swells up in your tummy, you will feel bad."

In fact, if Qiao Nan's action had not been so swift, the auntie would not have allowed her to take a second bowl of rice. It was enough to have an additional half bowl of rice.

"Okay." Qiao Nan also felt that she almost had enough. She cooperatively put down her bowl and chopsticks.

Once Qiao Nan put them down, the auntie cleaned up the table. "Right, there is a computer in Zhai Sheng's room. There is also an internet connection. You can use it if you need to."

"There is a computer at home?' Qiao Nan flung her head. During the year that she died, cell phones were already very common. However, computers were still very rare. Not every family could have a computer.
