Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief

Chapter 441-450

Chapter 441: Punished Himself to Sleep in Study Room

“The scene that you saw yesterday was really just a misunderstanding. She came to me solely to discuss the engagement between Zhai Sheng and Chenxi. If the two of them are already engaged, Minlan will not come to look me.”

“So, are you saying that it’s my fault?” Miao Jing gave Zhai Yaohui a ridiculous look.

“This is not a question of who is in the wrong. In fact, nobody is wrong. Minlan is only concerned about her daughter’s happiness. Zhai Sheng is not young anymore. We can put our mind at ease if we decide on their engagement now. What I want to say is that yesterday, when we were in a discussion, Minlan accidentally slipped when she stood up, hence I lent her a helping hand.”

Zhai Yaohui felt helpless. Qi Minlan fell right in front of him. Even if he did not know her and she was just a stranger who happened to fall in front of him, he would certainly help her.

But Miao Miao happened to be there at the time. From her perspective, he and Qi Minlan looked as if they were in an embrace.

“Miao Miao, we have been married for so many years. Isn’t there any trust between us? I am a soldier. I have absolute loyalty to the country, and I have the same attitude toward marriage as well. You should believe in me.” This was what Zhai Yaohui was most disappointed about.

“Trust?” Miao Jing said with a bitter smile. “I want to believe you as well, but have you provided me the sense of security so that I can have absolute trust in you?” No, never.

Minlan?

What an affectionate way of address!

Chenxi?

It sounded as if he was addressing his daughter.

“Miao Miao, what’s with this attitude? Didn’t I explain clearly to you?” Zhai Yaohui frowned. “Miao Miao, you were too much yesterday. You left the army without a word, and you didn’t go back home! You stayed outside throughout the night and you didn’t inform us!”

Miao Jing was both amused and angry. “Fine, I have gone overboard, whereas it was purely a misunderstanding between Qi Minlan and you. Since you have the final say, why did you bother to explain to me? You can do as you say. I don’t wish to talk to you.”

With that, Miao Jing went back to their room.

Zhai Yaohui sat down and massaged his temples. He was advanced in years. He only went without sleep for a night and he already felt exhausted.

“Madam, where are you going with the luggage?” Initially, when the auntie heard the quarrels, she dared not come out of the kitchen. When she came out later, she saw Miao Jing with the luggage, looking as if she was leaving.

“You?” Zhai Yaohui looked up and witnessed this scene. “What are you doing? Where do you want to go? After imposing on the Qiao family for a night, do you intend to continue to disturb them?”

Miao Jing sneered. “What’s good about the Zhai family is that apart from this house, we have other apartments. I don’t feel comfortable living here. I will stay at some other places. In that way, both of us will feel more at ease.” Right now, whenever she saw Zhai Yaohui, she would be reminded of the scene that she saw that day.

She knew what kind of person Zhai Yaohui was.

Since he was married, whether he liked it or not, Zhai Yaohui would never mess with other women outside.

However, Qi Minlan had always been a thorn in her heart, especially since Zhai Yaohui insisted that his son married Qi Minlan’s daughter. It was as if he kept pressing on the thorn in her heart. It not only made her uncomfortable, but it also caused her tremendous pain.
