“Oh, right. Let me wash my hands.” Qiao Zijin was left with no other choice since Qiao Dongliang had given her a slap in the face with his words. Her expression stiffened, but she maintained her smile as she headed to the toilet.

But before Qiao Zijin could step into Qiao Nan’s private bathroom, Zhai Sheng took a step forward and blocked the door. “The handle on this toilet isn’t very good. It’s easily broken. I think it’s broken now and you can’t open the door.”

“Really?” Qiao Zijin was doubtful and stepped forward to test it out herself.

As Qiao Zijin’s hand reached out and was about to touch his own, Zhai Sheng frowned. Was Qiao Zijin retarded? Zhai Sheng was never one to get close to outsiders, especially women.

Zhai Sheng had already held it in once when Qiao Zijin had ‘enthusiastically’ offered him watermelon earlier. This time, he had not even retracted his hand before Qiao Zijin reached out. In an instant, Zhai Sheng’s gaze darkened.

His sharp gaze threw Qiao Zijin off and she retracted her hand. It was as though someone had pricked her and she nearly jolted.

Seeing that Qiao Zijin had finally given up, Zhai Sheng finally retracted his own hand and walked aside to create some distance between him and Qiao Zijin. Because Zhai Sheng had stood so far away from her, Qiao Zijin was afraid yet upset. Did he really treat her as a walking bacteria carrier? It was not like she would eat him up if he got any closer.

But Qiao Zijin kept her thoughts to herself. She reached out and tried to open the door but it was indeed stuck. “This hospital looks good from the outside, but how could the door to the toilet be spoiled? What if Nan Nan needs to use the toilet urgently? She can’t possibly walk a long distance just to use the toilet, right? Nan Nan is a pregnant woman, and her belly has gotten so big. It’s dangerous for her to do that. If Nan Nan can walk, why would she even need to be here? This is ridiculous! Zhai Sheng, why don’t we get Nan Nan another room or another hospital?”

Qiao Zijin wanted to show off that she was actually brilliant in daily life so as to capture Zhai Sheng’s heart. But Qiao Zijin was truly a fool who had no common sense. Of course, she had no idea how to repair such ‘advanced’ technology like a spoiled lock.

“There’s no need for that.” Zhai Sheng immediately rejected Qiao Zijin’s suggestion. “There’s no need to go through that trouble. This lock is good sometimes. When Nan Nan needs it, it’s perfectly fine.” Now that Qiao Zijin wanted to use it, it was faulty.

“…” Upon understanding what he meant, Qiao Zijin pursed her lips, not knowing what to say. When had door locks become so advanced that they could pick whom they wanted to allow in? “I’ll go to the main toilet then.” Qiao Zijin could feel that Zhai Sheng didn’t want her to use this toilet.

Zhai Sheng was her future husband and she had already planned it through. Once she got married to Zhai Sheng, she didn’t want to live a life full of arguments like she had done in the past with Chen Jun. Husbands and wives should live peacefully and in harmony. Only then would the marriage last.

Zhai Sheng had heard too many bad things about her, and the person who had told him about those things was Qiao Nan. That was why Zhai Sheng had no choice but to believe those things about her. Once she had more interactions with Zhai Sheng, he would naturally realize her true nature. That way, she would clear up all those misunderstandings and Zhai Sheng would probably be more accepting of her.

All these were just small obstacles in the way of her marriage to Zhai Sheng. As long as she managed to overcome them, her life with Zhai Sheng would be smooth-sailing.

With such a thought in mind, Qiao Zijin didn’t make a fuss about the weird door lock and good-naturedly said that she would wash her hands in the main toilet instead. Qiao Zijin was always such a mild-tempered person. It was Qiao Nan who was ruining her image in front of Zhai Sheng. But did Qiao Nan really think that she would be able to hide her true nature from them forever?

Qiao Zijin took a deep breath and smiled widely at her reflection in the mirror. Come on! Persevere through it! Happiness was coming soon. She had to be serious about it. With a serious attitude never seen before in Qiao Zijin, she washed her hands clean before returning to Qiao Nan’s ward to look for Qiao Nan and Zhai Sheng.

But this time, although Zhai Sheng had opened the door, he had no intentions of allowing Qiao Zijin in.

Qiao Zijin had not managed to enter, and Qiao Dongliang had walked out with an empty flask. “Nan Nan is sleepy and she just fell asleep. Let’s not disturb her. Let’s leave for the day. Besides, didn’t you come for a holiday? Take this opportunity and visit all the places you haven’t. Don’t waste your time here.” Because of Zijin’s appearance, he had not managed to talk to Nan Nan.

At the mention of this, Qiao Zijin was upset. But an idea flashed past her mind and she turned toward Zhai Sheng. “Zhai Sheng, it’s my first time in the capital and I don’t really know any good places to visit. Do you have any recommendations?” If Zhai Sheng was free and could bring her around, that would be perfect.

But Qiao Zijin knew that the possibility of that happening was low. Qiao Nan was lying in the hospital and about to deliver at any moment. There was probably no way Zhai Sheng was going to leave Qiao Nan’s side to bring her around unless Qiao Nan asked him to do so.

Unfortunately, Qiao Zijin could only glance at Qiao Nan in disappointment. Qiao Nan was already lying down with her back facing them.

“Just get yourself a copy of a tourist guide. Otherwise, you can sign up for one-day or three-day courses. They’re all quite convenient.” Zhai Sheng did not give her a direct rejection but some very good suggestions. Even Qiao Zijin was stunned. Shouldn’t he have recommended places like the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, or Tiananmen?

He had simply asked her to check up on everything herself. But words made her eyes hurt. “Oh, alright. Thank you. When I get the chance, I’ll treat you to a meal.” Even if Zhai Sheng had not done his job as a host, Qiao Zijin had to thank him. Otherwise, she would lose the chance of getting in touch with Zhai Sheng.

“I’m not free.”

“…” Alright, Zhai Sheng had ended the conversation there. But Qiao Zijin couldn’t flare up and get upset at him.

If Zhai Sheng was willing to acknowledge Qiao Zijin as his relative, it would be out of kindness. But he was also being dutiful by not acknowledging her.. After all, his wife was still lying in the hospital with their three children.
