Zhai Sheng turned serious, clasped his hands and placed them on his knees. He asked Qiao Nan in a serious manner, "Is there anything strange with me reading in my own house?"
"No, absolutely no!" Qiao Nan stiffened her spine and stood straight like a soldier at attention, shaking her head continuously. She who was not a member of Zhai family could be allowed entrance to the storeroom, Brother Zhai had the right to be there.
But, was there something strange?
Qiao Nan was in awe of Zhai Sheng. Gone was the calm and alert Qiao Nan, instead she could not think properly and was slow in reacting.
"Since there isn't any problem, come over here to read." Zhai Sheng slightly pushed at the chair beside him and motioned for Qiao Nan to take a seat.
Under Zhai Sheng's gaze, Qiao Nan was a bundle of nerves. Her body stiffened and she walked awkwardly over to the chair.
