Married at First Sight novel (Serenity and Zachary York)

Duncan picked up her hand when no one was looking, put it to his mouth, and kissed both the back

and the palm of it.

Liberty quickly drew her hand, her face feeling hot.

The lights in the cinema were dim, and no one was staring at her, so she couldn’t see her blushing all

of a sudden.

“Duncan, please be more serious.” Liberty whispered to him.

Duncan had shown himself to be rough and generous.

When Liberty got tired of it, it could easily make her blush.

In front of him, Liberty acted like a young girl.

Serenity said that Liberty was experiencing symptoms of a second spring.

Duncan smiled lowly. “Okay, okay, I’m being serious; I didn’t do anything. Liberty, if you want to relax in

the future, whether it’s shopping, watching a movie, or traveling to relax, as long as you tell me, no

matter how busy I am, I will put down the work at hand and accompany you to go out and relax. Work

is important, but your happiness is more important.

I’m not short of money either. I used to earn too much money and couldn’t spend it all. I just went to

work to kill time and earn some money as pocket money. For me, your and Sonny’s happiness is the

most important thing.”

Liberty couldn’t help but say to him, “The amount of pocket money you earn is something that no one

else can earn in a lifetime. Duncan, I seriously doubt that you are at Versailles.”

Not to mention others, she opened a breakfast shop and a restaurant. Because the business was

good, her monthly net profit was also very generous, but compared to the money Duncan earned, her

little profit was not even a dime.

Alas, people were so irritating.

She still had to work hard, get up early, and work hard at night to earn that little money.

Not to mention ordinary migrant workers.

Of course, Duncan’s ability to earn so much money was also due to his hard work in his early years.

Duncan had been in the business world for more than ten years before he achieved what he has

achieved today.

Duncan said with a low smile, “When your wealth reaches a certain height, how much money you make

is just a series of numerals.”

“Without feeling.”

Liberty said, “If you think you don’t feel anything, just go to the bank and withdraw a few million in cash.

If you mess it up, count it again, one by one. When your hands become weak, you will feel it.”

Duncan thought for a while and said with approval, “Liberty, your suggestion is good. Next time you go

back to Wiltspoon, I will withdraw a few million in cash. We will count the money together until our

hands are weak, and we will feel it. I am also motivated to make more money. I want the woman I love

to count her money until she is weak.”

Liberty was speechless.

Looking at Duncan, she didn’t know what to say.



Duncan chuckled, opened the bag of snacks, took out the popcorn, handed it to Liberty, and said,

“Watching a movie and eating popcorn is good.”

Liberty took the popcorn and said, “I’m afraid I’ll get angry if I eat too much. However, after coming to

Jensburg, I felt less prone to getting angry after eating something hot. Maybe it’s because of the

different climate.”

In Wiltspoon, eating hot food could easily cause sore throats and gum pain.

“It’s the climate that’s different.” Duncan also got popcorn for himself.

“The movie has started,” Liberty said.

It was a suspenseful horror film. If it were Liberty in the past, watching a film like this, she would

definitely scream in fear.

Back then, she was much more courageous and had experienced some dangerous things. When

watching such films, she watched them more seriously, thinking more and not being afraid.

Duncan also asked her in a low voice from time to time if she was afraid. If she was afraid, he would

give her free support in his arms.

Liberty seriously suspected that the Lewis family’s bodyguard had deliberately bought a horror movie,

so when she was scared, she threw herself into Duncan’s arms.

After watching a movie, only Liberty watched it with gusto, while Duncan’s attention was focused on

her.

Chapter 9: He’s Just a Teacher, What’s There to Be Regretful About

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios



The most powerful families in the inner circle would be the Jiang and Tang families. The Shen and Fu

families were slightly less powerful compared to them.

The Jiang family was especially powerful.

They were well connected in the capital city. Old Master Jiang was a powerful figure in Rao City when

he was younger.

But his health deteriorated when he aged. He moved to the capital to rest ten years ago and seldom

came back.

Hence, even though everyone had heard of him, no one had really seen him in person.

Old Master Jiang saw them and replied loudly, “I’m back to see my granddaughter.”

“Granddaughter?” Tang Wei asked as she turned towards Qiao Nian, who was pushing Old Master

Jiang’s wheelchair.

She was pretty.

“She’s so beautiful!” Tang Wei wasn’t exaggerating. The Jiang family was well-known for their good

looks. But this lady was… exceptionally good looking!

Old Master Jiang chuckled. “Haha, appearance is not everything.”

Even though he appeared humble, everyone could tell how proud he was. He introduced Qiao Nian.

“Nian Nian, this is Grandma Tang.”

Qiao Nian greeted obediently. “Grandma Tang.”

Tang Wei immediately removed her bracelet and gave it to her. She then said apologetically, “What a

good girl. I didn’t know that you would be here today. If I knew, I would have prepared a present for



you. I have worn this bracelet for a number of years, and it was blessed by a master a few years ago. I

hope you like it.”

Qiao Nian couldn’t reject the gift and accepted it begrudgingly.

After Tang Wei had given the gift, she started to chat with the old master.

Everyone in the Qiao family was shocked.

Especially He Yujuan and Qiao Weimin. He stood in his tracks and didn’t know whether he should join

in the conversation.

Qiao Chen’s face turned pale.

She mumbled to herself unbelievably, “Weren’t older sister’s biological parents from Luohe County?

Why does Grandma Tang know them?”

Furthermore, from the looks of it, Tang Wei not only knew him, but she was also even trying to get

close to him!

How could Qiao Nian know someone like that?

After chatting for a while with Old Master Jiang, Tang Wei asked about Qiao Nian. “Is Nian Nian in high

school now?”

“She’s in her third year,” Old Master Jiang replied smilingly.

Tang Wei took a look at her and asked, “Where is she studying?”



Old Master Jiang answered casually, “She should be attending Rao City High School. She took a gap

year previously and has to enroll in a new school. She seemed interested in that school, so I’ve let her

enroll in it.”

Qiao Chen almost lost her balance when she heard that Qiao Nian was going to enroll in Rao City High

School.

Rao City High School?

Qiao Nian was going to enroll in Rao City High School?!

The family had to put in so much effort for her to be granted a place in that school. But Qiao Nian could

get in effortlessly. This contrast shocked her even more.

She didn’t pay attention to what Tang Wei said after that.

It was only after Qiao Nian left with Old Master Jiang that she regained her composure. She then heard

her grandma asking Grandma Tang and Aunty Tang.

“Who was that Old Master just now?”

Tang Wei wasn’t aware of their relationship with Qiao Nian and replied casually, “Oh, are you asking

about Old Master Jiang? Just an old friend.”

He Yujuan was puzzled. “What old friend? This is the first time I heard you speak about him.”

“He isn’t really high profile.” Even though Tang Wei was close to He Yujuan, the Qiao family wasn’t a

part of the upper echelon of Rao City. Furthermore, with Old Master Jiang’s connections, she couldn’t

let them know about his identity. She then answered smilingly, “Old Master Jiang is technically my

teacher.”



She loved traditional paintings, and Old Master Jiang was a grandmaster at it. She had asked him for

help a few times in the past.

Hence, he was technically her teacher.

“Oh.” He Yujuan understood.

Qiao Nian’s family was from Luohe County. He must have been a famous teacher.

She was aware that her good friend was a huge fan of traditional painting. Considering his age, he

must have been quite good at it.

It should be like those hidden masters in the rural places like in the television dramas. It was a pity that

he wasn’t someone famous.

“I’ve heard that he lost his granddaughter a while back and couldn’t find her. I can’t believe that he

managed to find her in the end!

“He must be doting on her after losing her for so long.

“That girl is so lucky. I heard that he found information about her through the internet. She posted that

she was mistreated in the family that adopted her… The family must be regretting it now.”

The Qiao Family couldn’t speak a word!

Qiao Weimin was embarrassed as he initially thought that Qiao Nian came to ask him for money. He

didn’t dare to speak a word.

He Yujuan looked at Qiao Nian coldly and said, “He’s just a teacher. What’s there to be regretful

about?”

Teacher? Did she misunderstand something?

Tang Wei didn’t correct her as Qiao Nian was long gone.
