Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief

Chapter 1789: Flare-Up

The doctor responsible for Qiu Chenxi’s treatment lost his temper. This was not the first that the doctor had warned Qiu Chenxi to pay attention to this aspect. But his patient had not taken the advice to heart and had instead run amok, contracting all sorts of illnesses in the meantime. Then, she even blamed the doctor for being incompetent and unable to treat her. Even a saint would be infuriated by this, let alone a doctor.

Qiu Chenxi’s attending doctor was the most famous gynecologist in the whole area. There was no wonder that Qiu Chenxi would look for him.

“...” After hearing his son’s explanation, Zhai Yaohui’s whole face darkened. “I’m warning you not to make the same mistake again. Your mom and I won’t care about you this time, but making the same mistake twice is really foolish. Whether or not she pesters you like she did in the past and repents, your mom and I will disown you if you soften your heart toward her!”

Thinking of how he had arranged a marriage with such a woman for his son, Zhai Yaohui was downright disgusted.

To put it bluntly, he would much rather his son spend the rest of his life with his rifle and remain childless and unmarried than stay together with a shameless and unscrupulous woman like Qiu Chenxi. Since it was already a given that his son would never have children, he would rather his son remain single than reconcile with Qiu Chenxi.

“It’s good that you and Mom understand. I will never have that problem. I was just repaying your kindness in my first marriage. Now that it’s my second time, I’ll never let you make that decision for me no matter who my partner may be. Don’t forget what you just said if Mom ever softens her heart and cries.” He had never loved Qiu Chenxi in the first place.

He would never have had anything to do with Qiu Chenxi had it not been for his father saying, “If you don’t have any feelings for Qiu Chenxi, who do you have feelings for? You’re already thirty years old. Are you not going to get married?”

“Are there really children who speak to their parents in this manner? Forget it. I’ll just treat it as though I owe it to you. I’m going to hang up.” Zhai Yaohui was worried that if he did not hand up the phone, he would be too angry and his old illness would flare up again.

Zhai Yaohui had finally wanted to hang up, so Zhai Sheng was not going to stop him from doing so. “Qiao Nan, put the phone back.” Because of this phone call today, his ears would be able to have a rest for a period of time.

He had not intended to tell his parents about Qiu Chenxi to provoke them, but he was truly frustrated with his parents keeping a watch on him simply because they were too free. He had no intention of ever getting remarried. Without any other choice, Zhai Sheng could only bring up Qiu Chenxi’s matter in hopes that the elderly couple would be more restrained in the future.

In his younger days, they had hardly cared about him, but they had interfered in the matter of his first marriage. Now that he was older, they even wanted to interfere in his second marriage. They were already advanced in age. Was it not enough that they had controlled him the first time? It was time for the elderly couple to take a step back and live their own lives comfortably. action

“Oh, okay.” Hearing Zhai Yaohui urging Zhai Sheng to get remarried and Zhai Sheng’s thoughts about that, Qiao Nan got a better idea of Zhai Sheng’s current situation. After putting the phone back in its place, Qiao Nan looked at Zhai Sheng, who was playing chess alone under the sun. At that moment, she felt rather conflicted. “Your leg?” Brother Zhai had already gotten divorced from Qiu Chenxi, but she had heard Old Chief Zhai talk about children. Did that mean that Brother Zhai had a child with Qiu Chenxi?

“My leg? It’s all right. I got injured when I was younger. It’s just been a little painful recently.” Zhai Sheng mindlessly patted his leg. There was nothing wrong with his leg, but the doctor had advised him to recuperate for now. While he was younger, he had been shot in the leg during a mission. Because the bullet had pierced through quite a complicated position, he had been advised to pay more attention to his recuperation.

Qiao Nan sighed in relief. “That’s good.” It seemed like Brother Zhai was more fervent about the army than he had been in her dream. It would have been such a pity if Brother Zhai had had to leave the army because of his leg.

She thought about how Zhai Sheng had been full of anguish when telling her about how Sun Guohong had left the army due to his personal reasons in her dream. If this happened to Brother Zhai, he would be even more regretful. It might even become his lifetime regret.

After that, Qiao Nan did not chat with Zhai Sheng anymore, and the duo simply sat there in silence. Zhai Sheng played chess alone while Qiao Nan prepared food for Zhai Sheng, poured drinks for him, and replaced Zhai Sheng’s chess books. The duo did not have much interaction with each other, but if someone were to observe the duo at this very moment, they would realize that the atmosphere between Qiao Nan and Zhai Sheng was brilliant.

No matter what Zhai Sheng needed, Qiao Nan seemed to know right away. Zhai Sheng’s glance was enough to tell Qiao Nan what he needed and wanted, and Zhai Sheng was extremely pleased with everything that Qiao Nan did. There seemed to be an unspeakable bond between the two of them, leading to a harmonious atmosphere.

When evening came, Zhai Sheng saw Qiao Nan packing up and his eyes were fixed on Qiao Nan. Up until Qiao Nan left, he only said a single thing. “Be careful on your way home. Are you staying very far from here?” Little Xu’s mom had probably sent her here earlier.

“It’s all right.” Qiao Nan picked up her belongings. “The landlady told me on the way here that there are public buses nearby. I’ll be able to reach home by taking bus number 71. It’s quite convenient.” Her landlady had asked for her help, after all, so it was only natural that her landlady had already thought of all these details.

Qiao Nan had come in her landlady’s car, but she could not possibly always rely on her landlady to send her here. But her landlady had already thought this through. Only after some observation had she told Qiao Nan about this route.

Thankfully, because Qiao Nan had intended on purchasing a house and moving her household registration to Qingshui Town, she had been able to get a public transportation card. As such, she needed to pay only one yuan to take the bus. A return trip would cost her no more than two yuan. That was not a hefty cost to Qiao Nan. “I’ve kept some lean pork and century egg congee in the rice cooker. If you get hungry at night, do you think you’ll be able to get some for yourself?”

Of course, Qiao Nan felt that she had quite a good grasp of Zhai Sheng’s appetite. She had only made two meals for Zhai Sheng today. At the very most, Zhai Sheng would not be hungry, but neither would he be full. In that case, Zhai Sheng would surely start feeling hungry again at around eight or nine o’clock at night.

Qiao Nan had no means of preparing anything more complex, but she could at least make some congee and keep it warm in the rice cooker. “You’re still recuperating, so you shouldn’t be eating too richly. You should eat more bland food for the time being. When you get better, you can tell me what you want to eat, and I can make it for you.”

Since she had already considered his supper, Zhai Sheng had nothing to nitpick at. “All right. Hurry home and remember to watch out and stay safe.”
