Chapter 1377: Chapter 510: I Am the Evil Nanny (Part 12)

"Professor Qiao, my daughter and I have discussed it, and she doesn’t have too many objections!"

Back at the hospital, He Tiantian spoke softly to Qiao Zhenbang while giving him a massage.

Qiao Zhenbang’s eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on his face, "Great, as long as the child doesn’t object!"

"So should we take care of this matter as soon as possible?"

In a few days, it’s going to be the 11th. Before the holiday, we should go to the civil affairs office to get the certificate and then use the Golden Week to tidy up the house properly.

His new life can get on track then!

Qiao Zhenbang secretly planned.

His body has actually recovered enough; he can be discharged.

But, because there was a plan in his heart, Qiao Zhenbang wanted to settle things before returning home.

Now that "He Xiutian" has finally agreed, Qiao Zhenbang starts to plan step by step according to his own thoughts.

"No rush!"

He Tiantian wouldn’t be led by Qiao Zhenbang.

She isn’t begging Qiao Zhenbang for a bowl of rice.

The relationship between her and Qiao Zhenbang is equal, a partnership.

Before the "partnership" officially begins, He Tiantian must make her attitude and position clear.

Only then, after marriage, would she not be at a disadvantage.

Qiao Zhenbang was taken aback, "No, no hurry?"

What?

Does "He Xiutian" want a grand ceremony?

It’s a second marriage, they both aren’t young anymore, there’s no need to make such a big deal out of it.

Even if they want some ceremony, having both families sit down for a meal is enough.

Having been ill once, Qiao Zhenbang knows what he truly needs.

He indeed wants to find an "old partner" to serve him, but he doesn’t want to be too public about it.

Because no one is stupid, anyone can see he’s suddenly remarrying someone obviously incompatible, a middle-aged rural woman.

It’s clear as day that Qiao Zhenbang isn’t finding a wife but rather a nanny.

Although this is indeed the fact, it’s better left unsaid.

Everyone knows it well enough; opening it up would be embarrassing for Qiao Zhenbang!

He also doesn’t want people gossiping behind his back, saying he’s unscrupulous, calculating, tricking a woman to serve him for free when she could have earned money as a nanny.

Such words are easy to speak but unpleasant to hear.

He might not be the perfect Holy Father, but he isn’t truly a villain either.

The transaction between him and "He Xiutian" is mutually beneficial!

Living together, they both have their motives; truly, he isn’t the only one being calculative.

"Yes! No rush!"

He Tiantian seemed not to notice the change in Qiao Zhenbang’s expression, continuing to speak while massaging—

"There are some things I want to clarify in advance!"

Qiao Zhenbang’s face remained calm, but his eyes showed a hint of vigilance.

He feared "He Xiutian" would take the opportunity to make excessive demands.

Thinking he’s indispensable to her, being greedy beyond the monthly income, wanting more of his assets.

"First, our matter was proposed by you, Professor Qiao. It wasn’t me pursuing to jump to a higher branch!"

He Tiantian still pretended not to see Qiao Zhenbang’s glance, speaking frankly, "I’m not the seducing old enchantress, the bad woman breaking other families, am I right?"

Qiao Zhenbang was taken aback; hmm, it wasn’t quite what he expected.

A bit baffled, he nodded, "Right!"

The initial suggestion of marriage indeed did not come from "He Xiutian."

And "He Xiutian," not only isn’t some branch-climbing bad woman, but she is Qiao Zhenbang’s savior.

Actually, that’s one reason Qiao Zhenbang chose "He Xiutian"—he didn’t directly marry his nanny but his savior.

Although there isn’t much difference, saying the latter sounds better.

"A life-saving favor, repaid by marriage" not only carries the traditional Hua Country romance but also showcases Qiao Zhenbang’s commitment and sentiment.

"So, Professor Qiao, if I marry you, even if I don’t receive acceptance or respect from your children, I shouldn’t face their exclusion or even hostility, should I?"

He Tiantian raised her head, looking steadily at Qiao Zhenbang.

Qiao Zhenbang:...

Something suddenly flashed through his mind, making his expression a bit unnatural.

"Well, Little He, don’t worry, Jianan is just too surprised, and there’s a misunderstanding about you, that’s all—"

As a father, Qiao Zhenbang naturally knows the temperament of his children well.
