Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief

Chapter 1971-1980

Chapter 1971: Child

Zhai Sheng did not reply but his expression revealed everything.

Qi Minlan also saw that Qiao Nan seemed to have no reaction to this piece of news as though she had already known all about it. Qi Minlan felt extremely embarrassed for both herself and Qiu Chenxi. She could not understand why Zhai Sheng would tell her daughter's love rival about such a thing since they had been husband and wife once.

No wonder this woman dared to fight against Chenxi for a man even though she was merely a caretaker. Because she knew of Chenxi's past, she had the right to be confident even though she was only a caretaker.

In an instant, tears started streaming down Qi Minlan's face. "I'm a mother and you should know that I don't have many years left to live. Can we find somewhere to sit down and have a chat? I'm old and my legs aren't strong anymore. I can't stand for long."

No matter how embarrassing it was, Qi Minlan had no choice but to press on. Children were debts, and for the sake of her daughter's happiness, Qi Minlan had no other choice.

Zhai Sheng looked at Qiao Nan. Seeing that Qiao Nan did not refuse, Zhai Sheng then said, "Alright, then come on in. Anyway, we'll be moving tomorrow." Nan Nan would not be living here in the future. There would be no problem letting Qi Minlan in for a chat.

The way Zhai Sheng treated Qiao Nan as the center of his world and the way he listened to her made Qi Minlan extremely sour and heartbroken that she had lost such a good son-in-law. She had always known that the men of the Zhai family were good men who would be much more considerate toward their partners than other men.

Initially, as long as Chenxi had been intent on living an honest life, this happiness should have been her daughter's.

After entering the house, Qiao Nan prepared three cups of warm water and did not prepare any tea for Qi Minlan. Since her guest did not mean well, there was no point in Qiao Nan treating Qi Minlan as a revered guest.

Qi Minlan held the warm cup in her hands but her heart was cold. "Zhai Sheng, how much do you know about Chenxi?" The conversation had already been started, and Qi Minlan's initial plan had been ruined. As such, she could only choose another path.

"What I know is naturally more than what you want to hide from me." Zhai Sheng had been tired of dealing with Qiu Chenxi and Qi Minlan since a long time ago. "All these years, my parents have been quite worried about my second marriage. I'm sure your family is clear of that. After I marry Nan Nan, we'll have a child as soon as possible to fulfill my parent's dreams of being grandparents. It's Qiu Chenxi's second marriage, and I can't control the kind of man she finds. But if she really wants children, my suggestion is for her to adopt one or find a man with a child."

"..." Qi Minlan's face lost all color. She had truly not expected that Zhai Sheng had already found out about this fact that she had thought was well-hidden. "Zhai Sheng, if Chenxi was healthy and still fertile, would you—" not be so insistent on not wanting Chenxi to the point you wanted to get together with a caretaker?

"There's no such thing as 'if'. If we really want to talk about it, don't you think that my behavior during those three years of marriage is enough to prove my stance? In those three years, I was extremely irresponsible, unlike my usual self. My family has always taught me to take on responsibilities as a man, but do you know why I didn't do so after marrying Qiu Chenxi?"

Zhai Sheng talked to Qi Minlan about his three-year marriage to Qiu Chenxi for the first time. "That's because I had no feelings for Qiu Chenxi. Before I got married, I made it clear to Qiu Chenxi that I didn't like her and didn't want to marry her. If she cared about her own happiness, she had better not come to our family. But she still chose to get married. After making that decision, I once again told her that I was a soldier, and with no foundation of feelings, the only thing I can promise her was that I would never cheat on her or betray her. At the same time, I didn't think that I was responsible for her feelings or happiness."
