Chapter 81: A Direct Confession!

"Grandmother?"

Qiao Nian's voice rang from outside the room.

Zhao Qian turned to the side and hurriedly wiped her tears away.

Matriarch Gu smiled. She said happily, "Nian Nian, come in!"

Qiao Nian pushed the door open and entered. She froze when she saw that Zhao Qian seemed to have been in tears.

Zhao Qian's smile reappeared on her face. She greeted softly, "Second Sister-in-law."

Qiao Nian smiled in return and closed the door. "Miss Zhao, you're here too."

When Qiao Nian had got home, she had changed into a white nightdress made of real silk. Her hair was now tied up in a bun, and she no longer looked as charming as she had in public. All that was left was an almost unworldly calm.

"Second Sister-in-law, you don't have to treat me like an outsider. Just call me Zhao Qian." Zhao Qian smiled.
