She was tricked into marriage for three years, then remarried a childless, tough guy and became preg

Zhou Nan turned and ran back into the inner room.

"You scared them away."

Grandma Shen Lijun smiled and looked at Qin Zheng.

Qin Zheng stood still, his gaze following Zhou Nan as she ran into the house, his smile growing wider and wider.

My heart was pounding loudly.

He rubbed his fingers together; they still had the smooth residue from the water sleeves.

Shen Lijun walked into the room, and Zhou Nan sat there with a flushed face.

"That's just how Zheng'er is, he never speaks properly, don't be afraid."

"I'm not afraid. He's a good person. He found a specialist doctor for my grandma."

Zhou Nan lowered her eyes, her gaze flickering.

She pressed her hand to her chest; her heart was pounding.

Shen Lijun patted her head and asked, "Who taught you to sing Kunqu opera?"

"My grandma," Zhou Nan said obediently, "she used to be in the city's Kunqu Opera Cultural Troupe."

Shen Lijun's hand on Zhou Nan's shoulder trembled slightly, and her expression became somewhat unnatural.

"What's your grandmother's name?" Shen Lijun asked.

"Liu Yaqin," Zhou Nan said.

Shen Lijun's hand trembled suddenly, and her brows furrowed slightly:

"Liu Yaqin?"

"Do you know my grandmother?" Zhou Nan asked.

Shen Lijun composed herself and shook her head, saying, "I don't know her."

"Would you like to learn Kunqu Opera with me?" Shen Lijun asked.

"Of course I'm willing!" Zhou Nan's eyes lit up.

"But don't tell your grandmother," Shen Lijun said.

Although Zhou Nan was puzzled, she still nodded in agreement.

Zhou Nan could tell Shen Lijun's talent just by listening to her casual singing.

Moreover, she is very knowledgeable about makeup and clothing.

After Zhou Nan received some pointers from her, he suddenly understood and the two hit it off very well.

Until a crescent moon hung on the branch.

Zhou Nan reluctantly said goodbye.

Shen Lijun held Zhou Nan's hand and said:

"Come often in the future. This area where I live isn't very safe. Let Qin Zheng accompany you."

Zhou Nan looked up at Qin Zheng, who smiled and nodded at her.

"Mmm," Zhou Nan replied softly.

Qin Zheng and Zhou Nan got into the car.

Qin Zheng glanced at her from time to time, and Zhou Nan asked shyly:

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"It's beautiful, I want to look at it a few more times."

"You...you always talk like that..."

"You don't like it?" Qin Zheng suddenly leaned closer.

Zhou Nan was startled and slapped him across the face.

"I'm sorry..." Zhou Nan quickly apologized.

The other person didn't even touch me, so why did they slap me?

Qin Zheng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed.

She smiled beautifully, her eyes narrowed, revealing her pearly white teeth.

He had a smile on his face, and his tongue was pressed against his cheek.

It's like reminiscing.

Zhou Nan was somewhat at a loss for words. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hit you..."

Qin Zheng stopped laughing and turned to look at her: "Then think about how to make it up to me!"

Zhou Nan pursed her lips, "I, I..."

Zhou Nan clenched her fists; she simply couldn't figure out what Qin Zheng was thinking.

She thought what he did was good, but the words he spoke came across as irresponsible and roguish.

Now, is she angry?

Tears welled up in Zhou Nan's eyes. He was afraid that Qin Zheng would get angry and stop letting the doctor take care of his grandmother.

Qin Zheng panicked the moment he saw her tears.

He quickly pulled the car over to the side of the road, frowning as he said:

"Why are you crying?"

Zhou Nan sniffed lightly. "I didn't cry."

Qin Zheng's heart softened again and again. He wanted to wipe away her tears, but he was afraid of scaring her.

He took a clean handkerchief from his pocket and handed it over.

Zhou Nan hesitated for a moment, then accepted the handkerchief, which carried the scent of sandalwood.

As Zhou Nan smelled the fragrance, her heart gradually calmed down.

"Did I scare you?" Qin Zheng asked softly.

Zhou Nan bit her lip, raised her misty eyes, and said:

"I really didn't mean to hit you, please don't be angry."

Qin Zheng looked at her; she was soft and sweet, like a juicy peach.

He couldn't help but swallow hard: "An apology alone won't do."

"What should we do then?"

"Let me kiss you, or kiss me."

Zhou Nan's eyes widened, and she clenched the handkerchief in her hand.

Qin Zheng smiled, intending to let her go.

Zhou Nan suddenly moved closer and gently kissed his cheek.

Qin Zheng's fair face suddenly turned red, as red as a red-hot iron that was about to smoke.

He stood there, stunned and motionless.

Zhou Nan's heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of her mouth.

This was the first time she had ever touched a man's face.

After a long while, Qin Zheng finally came to his senses.

He looked down, pulled the hem of his coat forward, and adjusted his posture.

Silently start the car.

The car drove slowly, and neither of them spoke again. A wonderful fragrance filled the car.

The car arrived at Zhou Nan's house.

Zhou Nan got off the car.

Qin Zheng walked up to her, looked down at her, and said, "I'll pick you up tomorrow."

Zhou Nan stared at his toes and nodded gently.

Zhou Nan turned and went inside.

Qin Zheng stared at the door for a long time until the lights inside the house came on, then he turned around and got into the car.

He sat in the car, his mind filled with images of Zhou Nan.

He tilted his head to look at the passenger seat, a smile playing on his lips.

Start the car and leave.

The door to Zhou Nan's house quietly opened a crack, and Zhou Nan slowly peeked out half of her head, watching the car turn the corner.

She let out a soft breath.

They're finally gone.

Will he get me entangled with him?

Could it be that he wants me to repay him with my body?

Zhou Nan's mind was in turmoil. She looked down and saw he was still clutching his handkerchief.

Zhou Nan unfolded the handkerchief, revealing an embroidered character for "Qin" with meticulous craftsmanship.

Zhou Nan felt a slight pang in his heart. Which woman embroidered this?

The handkerchief smelled of the same faint sandalwood scent as Qin Zheng.

It smells very reassuring.

My parents went to take care of my grandmother, so there's no one at home.

Zhou Nan was a little scared. She turned off the light, lay on the bed, and held a handkerchief in her hand.

She fell asleep very quickly.

The next morning, Zhou Nan had just pushed open the door.

Then I saw Qin Zheng standing at the door.

He was wearing a white suit, holding a small bunch of irises, and leaning gently against the car door.

Zhou Nan paused for a moment, then remembered that she hadn't combed her hair or washed her face, and hurriedly turned around.

"Why run?" Qin Zheng chuckled.

"I, I, wait a minute."

Qin Zheng stood there smiling.

When Zhou Nan came out again, she had changed into a white dress, with two braids hanging down her shoulders, and the ends of her hair were still wet.

Qin Zheng handed her the flowers and opened the car door.

"Please." Qin Zheng smiled slightly.

Zhou Nan, holding the flowers, looked at him and asked, "Where are we going?"

"Do you think I'd sell you?"

Zhou Nan got into the car.

In the training compound.

Shen Tang was looking at English materials when Huo Xiuyuan knocked on the door, walked in, and sat down beside her.

"Commander Huo, is there something you need?" Shen Tang asked with a smile.

Huo Xiuyuan placed a movie ticket on the table.

Shen Tang glanced at the movie tickets on the table, then smiled at Huo Xiuyuan, her beautiful eyes filled with laughter:

"Does this count as a date?"
