Chapter 1146 - 1134: Nana Full of Thoughts (Part 2)

Chapter 1146: Chapter 1134: Nana Full of Thoughts (Part 2)

"Dad! Honestly, did you forget what I told you a few days ago?"

"You mentioned a few days ago..." Old Zhao rubbed his head, thinking: My daughter has talked to me about a lot these days, what exactly is she trying to say?

Seeing Old Zhao’s serious pondering, Wei Yang couldn’t stand it anymore and promptly reminded him, "Wang Qiang, haha, Uncle Zhao, think if Nana has mentioned anything to you about Wang Qiang."

"Ah!?"

These words jolted Old Zhao awake as if from a dream; truly, he was a clever man.

As soon as Wei Yang spoke, he immediately understood the reason behind it.

No wonder his daughter is acting so strangely, turns out it’s because...

"Right! I talked to you about Wang Qiang a couple of days ago, didn’t I? I asked you to have a chat with him when you had time, since the past is the past. His life needs to go on, and now with the New Year coming, you can ask him to prepare a performance, isn’t it just the right opportunity for some relaxation?"

Finally getting her message across, Zhao Lina felt a wave of relief.

"Haha, this matter... Why do you want Uncle Zhao to relay it for you? Why not do it yourself? If you ask me, you should just pull Qiang together for a performance, with you there, I’m sure it can help her get over things."

Being a good sister, Wei Yang naturally understood Zhao Lina’s little thoughts; Zhao Lina privately shared everything in her heart with Wei Yang.

Therefore, Wei Yang was very clear about Zhao Lina’s feelings for Wang Qiang.

Because she’s so familiar, Wei Yang altered her usual understanding approach and jokingly shared her idea with Zhao Lina.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Lina sighed helplessly after hearing it, and complained: "I would like to, but, but that wooden head... yesterday I was going to tell him about it, but do you know what attitude he had? Humph, he didn’t even give me the chance to finish my words. Sometimes I really want to open up his head to see what’s inside, really infuriating."

Her pursed lips lifted high, Zhao Lina had a feeling of iron unable to become steel regarding Wang Qiang’s behavior.

"Haha, open up Qiang’s head!? Just afraid someone might be heartbroken and unwilling!"

Wei Yang’s words were quite blunt, making Zhao Lina’s face blush again, without saying anything, she lightly hit Wei Yang’s back with her slender hand: "Wei sister, with time like this, you’re still joking with me!"

"Haha, alright, alright, daughter, is this what you wanted to talk to dad about?"

"Yes! He doesn’t listen to me, can’t help but turn to you, Dad. You won’t say no to helping your daughter, right?" Moving closer, Zhao Lina kneaded Old Zhao’s shoulder, rubbing and flattering at the same time.

Old Zhao felt comfortable but also helpless, thinking: Girls are not to be kept!

"Dad knows, it’s rare for you to care about others, I’ll have a talk with Qiang."

"I knew dad wouldn’t refuse, what do you want for dinner tonight, Dad? I’ll cook for you." Rubbing faster, Zhao Lina, having received her father’s confirmation, showed a hint of joy.

"Oh my, the sun really rises from the west, seems I really owe thanks to Qiang, otherwise how would I have the chance to taste my daughter’s homemade delicacies?"

"Ah! Dad! Listen to yourself! Haven’t I cooked for you before? If you say that, I’m going to ignore you!" Feigning anger, Zhao Lina swung her hips playfully.

Old Zhao was naturally joking with his daughter, so he raised his hand and patted the back of her hand, smiling warmly: "Alright, Dad understands your intentions, but there’s one thing I have to clarify beforehand."

"What is it, Dad, go ahead and tell me."

"Well... I’ll convey the message to Wang Qiang, but whether he wants to do it is up to him."

"Oh come on! Dad, you’re a professor, advising and understanding others is your forte, I believe with your expertise, Wang Qiang will easily take it on!" Clenching her fist, Zhao Lina made a winning gesture.

Seeing his daughter so determined, Old Zhao could only smile wryly, tapping her nose: "You! Silly girl, don’t flatter your old dad, it’s useless. Alright, dad still has to go to the construction site for work in a bit, so if there’s nothing else, I’d like to rest."

The effects of last night’s drink hadn’t completely dissipated, and Old Zhao still felt a bit dizzy.

"Alright then, Dad, you rest; I won’t disturb you. Remember the task I asked you to do."

After saying that, Zhao Lina finally left with Wei Yang.

Watching his daughter’s departing figure, Old Zhao’s initially cheerful face gradually turned serious.

Daughter oh daughter, Wang Qiang is a good guy, if you really end up with him, Dad wouldn’t oppose it.

But...

Shaking his head, as someone who witnessed the entire love story between Wang Qiang and Yang Xue, Old Zhao knew better than anyone the young man’s feelings for Yang Xue.

That was Wang Qiang’s first love, and they say a man’s first love is the truest, sincerest, and most unforgettable.

This statement isn’t entirely accurate, but it does carry some truth.

After all, men in their first love are like fledglings, willing to give everything unreservedly for the person they love.

Wang Qiang was like this, and Tang Xiaoquan was as well.

Unfortunately, Tang Xiaoquan found true love worth his dedication, while Wang Qiang loved the wrong person in the wrong place.

Wang Qiang, profoundly hurt, had a significant change in personality. Although he appeared more composed and mature outwardly, Old Zhao knew the young man still harbored deep-seated pain.

At this time, outsiders trying to intervene would undoubtedly be very difficult.

As Zhao Lina’s father, of course, he didn’t want his daughter running into obstacles.

Even though Old Zhao acknowledged Wang Qiang, people always retain a bit of selfishness, especially as parents.

Old Zhao naturally didn’t want his daughter to be hurt, since love is blind, and once entangled, it’s hard to escape.

Especially in such a sensitive apocalyptic environment, if Wang Qiang ultimately rejected his daughter, it would surely make interactions between him, Nana, or even Old Zhao himself somewhat awkward.

If it came to causing a scene or leading to departure, it would be all the more troubling.

Of course, every disadvantage brings an advantage, and experiencing failed love offers the best remedy of starting anew.

So, as long as Zhao Lina can make Wang Qiang feel affection, a relationship between them would naturally follow.

This was undoubtedly what Old Zhao was most pleased to see, but... given Wang Qiang’s current mental state, frankly, Old Zhao had no confidence.

Hence, Old Zhao felt somewhat worried about his daughter’s wishful investment.

But regardless, once words are spoken, they’re like spilled water, since he had promised his daughter, he must follow through.

Furthermore, the undertaking itself aims to help Wang Qiang, and Old Zhao had no reason to refuse.
