Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief

Chapter 1120: There Is Hope

Zhai Hua’s next words confirmed Mother Tian’s worries. “Auntie, forget it. I don’t like to watch movies. Aren’t you wasting the movie tickets if you bring me to watch it? I may fall asleep within ten minutes.”

Of course, she disliked the person who would be watching the movie with her today more.

Zhai Hua’s words dealt a critical blow to Mother Tian’s heart. She was so angry that she just stared at her son, shunning him for being bad at words. She could not help blaming Dongzi too. If Dongzi did not have any feelings toward Zhai Hua, why didn’t he make himself clear? He even let them visit the Zhai family.

If Dongzi had some feelings toward Zhai Hua, why was he looking so indifferent in front of Zhai Hua?

Mother Tian really did not know what to do with Dongzi, her son. She felt that she was dying from torture.

In contrast to Mother Tian’s anxiousness, Father Tian was calmer.

However, he glanced at his son and hinted at him to know his limits. If he made her wife too anxious, he would not let him off even if he was his son.

After receiving his biological father’s warning, Tian Dong looked helpless as he took out a box. “This is for you.”

“For me?” Zhai Hua raised her brows. She felt that this was rare. “You’re giving me things? Are you sure you didn’t give it to the wrong person?” Shouldn’t he be giving her mother or Qiao Nan gifts to congratulate Qiao Nan on her wedding?

“Open it and take a look.” Tian Dong did not explain further.

When Mother Tian saw that box, her eyes changed from a bright to gloomy look.

It was not because of other reasons. Mother Tian knew what was in the box. If Tian Dong were to give this lousy thing to Zhai Hua, she would be surprised if Zhai Hua would fancy her son.

Mother Tian did not know that, sometimes, certain thoughts could not be controlled.

Anyone who received a present would feel delighted. Zhai Hua smiled as she opened the present. She only saw a broken wooden plank in it. Obviously, it had been broken after someone hit it. There also seemed to be someone’s signature on it.

“Oh, my goodness. Where did you buy this thing? Is it fake? Don’t give me imitated products. Otherwise, I will definitely deal with you.” At the sight of the signature on the wooden plank, Zhai Hua jumped with joy. That excited expression was exactly the same as that of a typical lady who had received a huge wedding proposal ring.

When the despaired Mother Tian saw Zhai Hua look so elated suddenly, her forehead broke out in a sweat.

This was such a lousy wooden plank. Why was Zhai Hua so happy upon receiving it?

Mother Tian cast a doubtful look at Miao Jing. Miao Jing shook her head in puzzlement. She also did not know what was happening.

Qiao Nan, who was sitting closer to Zhai Hua, could see the signature on the wooden plank clearly. She asked, “Sister Zhai Hua, you’re… Bruce Lee’s fan?” If she did not get it wrong, that was the signature of Bruce Lee.

“I am Bruce Lee’s fan? Bruce Lee is my idol.” After hugging the broken piece of plank and kissing it a few times, Zhai Hua then found time to answer Qiao Nan’s question. “This was the wooden plank that Bruce Lee broke when he attended a television show in the past. It’s very hard to find this. I never thought that I would have the chance to own it.”

After receiving her favorite present, Zhai Hua did not find Tian Dong such an eyesore anymore. “You’re really my childhood buddy. You know what I like. You are also too much. You only came back now after being overseas for so many years. Good that you still have a conscience and didn’t forget us, your childhood friends. This present is really something that I like.”

At the sight of Zhai Hua changing her attitude toward Tian Dong, from being cold to addressing him as buddies, Qiao Nan’s sly eyes shifted between both Tian Dong and Zhai Hua. Hitting on what one likes.

Judging from this, Tian Dong had some feelings for Sister Zhai Hua.

It was impossible to prepare such a present at the eleventh hour.

“Aren’t we going to watch a movie? The host will accommodate the guest. I will accompany you to the movie.” After receiving a present that she liked, Zhai Hua became very easy to convince. She did not feel revulsion against watching a movie now.

Her daughter’s attitude had changed too quickly. In particular, it had something to do with the gift.

Miao Jing could not tell what was so good about that piece of broken wooden plank and why it would cause such a huge change in her daughter. However, her daughter’s ‘pragmatism’ made Miao Jing feel very embarrassed. Miao Jing looked at Zhai Hua unhappily. “Didn’t you say that you will fall asleep when you watch a movie?”

Zhai Hua hugged her present and said without a care, “He can watch his movie while I sleep. It is not mutually exclusive.” At most, she was just changing places to take a nap. Most importantly, they were certainly not the ones who would pay for the movie tickets.

Nevertheless, on the account of the present, it was fine too if she were to pay for the movie tickets.

“…”

Miao Jing almost fainted because of this ‘shameless’ reply of Zhai Hua. It was so embarrassing, and it was also said in front of others.

“Okay, let’s watch a movie.” When Miao Jing had completely given up on Tian Dong, as the party concerned, Tian Dong enthusiastically responded to Zhai Hua’s suggestion that they could continue with the plan to watch a movie. He did not mind Zhai Hua’s ‘realistic’ behavior at all.

Miao Jing blinked her eyes. “That… that’s fine. You, youngsters, can go and watch a movie. There is no better time than the present. When Old Master Zhai and Old Zhai are back later, could we have a meal together?”

“Alright, sorry to disturb then.” Father Tian agreed readily.

After Father Tian agreed, Miao Jing hurried the auntie to buy more ingredients to treat the guests later.

“Qiao Nan, bring a sweater. We are going out together.” After Zhai Hua put away her precious treasure properly, she urged Qiao Nan to be faster.

Qiao Nan shook her head and turned sideways. “I don’t have the time to watch a movie. I didn’t touch any books for the whole winter. My study plan has been messed up, so I have to catch up these few days. You all go ahead with the movie. I will stay at home and read.”

Qiao Nan did not wish to accompany Zhai Hua to watch a movie. Of course, she did not want to remain behind to entertain the Tian couple either.

It was obvious that the other party had other objectives in mind. She could not be too involved. She was still a student. Of course, she had to take care of her studies. She certainly could not drop all of her own matters.

“Have fun, the two of you.” Qiao Nan patted Zhai Hua’s hands. Didn’t she wish to have a baby? The relevant party had come knocking on the door. She had to nab the time and observe the other party well to confirm if he was suitable to be the father of her children.

It was meaningless to bring a ‘light bulb’ along.

Putting aside the character, just with Tian Dong’s looks alone, he was ahead of Wei De by eighteen streets.

If the two were really together, Qiao Nan did not need to worry that Zhai Hua’s future child would be too ugly.

Zhai Hua was not pleased. She treated Tian Dong as her buddy and did not have that kind of feeling.

Furthermore, her judgment was not as good as Qiao Nan in this aspect. She could not tell one’s character accurately but Qiao Nan could widen her eyes and help assess Tian Dong.
