Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief

A flock of imaginary cawing crows flew over Qiao Nan’s head. She almost wanted to scold Deng Wenchang: Are you sick? What nonsense are you sprouting? Who is the one dreaming here?!Qiao Nan was not sure what was wrong with Deng Wenchang. She did not wish to waste her breath by speaking to him. Hence, she focused on her own tasks. In the next few days, when Qiao Nan’s eyes accidentally met with those of Deng Wenchang, the latter always gave such eccentric and odd vibes. It was increasingly serious with the passing of each day.

Sometimes, Qiao Nan could not help avoiding lifting her head and facing Deng Wenchang’s direction. However, Deng Wenchang was acting like a lunatic. Qiao Nan could even sense his stare even if she did not look up.

If not for the fact that Deng Wenchang had never been friendly to her and was different from other young guys who, out of ignorance, used bullying as a tactic to interact with girls that they fancied, Qiao Nan almost suspected that Deng Wenchang was interested in her.

Besides Qiao Nan, other people in the department were not blind either. Deng Wenchang’s attention on Qiao Nan had drawn their attention.

They could not fault Qiao Nan for having such a misunderstanding. If not for the fact that Deng Wenchang had such an aggrieved expression clouded with anxiety and sorrow whenever he looked at Qiao Nan, those with brains would also misunderstand the meaning behind Deng Wenchang’s incessant stares.

Fortunately, He Yi had already informed the department that despite Qiao Nan’s young age and fresh college graduate identity, she was already married. In addition, her partner was a soldier and it was thus a military marriage.

After knowing that Qiao Nan was married, many people in the department dismissed thoughts of match-making for Qiao Nan.

Since everyone was aware of this, they naturally thought that Deng Wenchang would know too. With his identity as an overseas graduate, Deng Wenchang already looked down on Qiao Nan for being a local graduate who had not once traveled overseas. How could he possibly fancy a married woman like Qiao Nan?

Deng Wenchang’s behavior was too bizarre. Someone could not help informing He Yi about this situation and requested He Yi to pay more attention to it. No one was certain what kind of ruckus and fallacies Deng Wenchang would stir up next time. Hence, prevention was better than cure.

After He Yi knew about it, he spoke to Qiao Nan. Qiao Nan told He Yi not to worry as she did not have any chance to be with Deng Wenchang alone. No matter what ideas Deng Wenchang was having, it was not so easy to execute them.

Under such awkward and odd atmosphere, Qiao Nan sat for an entire day. When she arrived home, she felt weary at heart and could not help considering if she should seek the help of her senior brother, He Yi, to change her seat. As long as she was not sitting directly opposite Deng Wenchang, her life would be much better.

“Auntie, hug, hug.” Just as she arrived home, Qiao Nan’s calves were greeted by a little cute thing. Qiao Nan looked down and saw Xiao Bao. “Xiao Bao, why are you at maternal grandma’s house? Your mom is back?” She had not heard anything about it. Shouldn’t Sister Zhai Hua be in the camp?

The little cute thing held onto her calves tightly. Qiao Nan had no choice but to carry Tian Yu up first before entering the house. “Mom, why is Xiao Bao in our house?”

Miao Jing looked at Tian Yu with relief. “I’m really not boasting about this kid. Fortunately, his character resembles that of Dongzi. He’s totally different from Hua Hua. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to handle four kids in the house all at once.” Her three paternal grandchildren were much naughtier than her maternal grandson.

The corners of Qiao Nan’s mouth twitched. She did not seem to have asked this question. “Xiao Bao’s grandma is willing to put his precious grandson with us?” Especially when Sister Zhai Hua was not around? One had to know that Xiao Bao was Mother Tian’s lifeline.

Miao Jing patted her own thigh. “That’s not something of her choice. The nanny that the Tian family hired is on half a month’s leave now as her son was getting married. She left three days ago. Yesterday, Xiao Bao’s grandmother caught a cold and it seemed quite serious. They were afraid that they would spread the cold to Xiao Bao. Hence, they sent him to us.” The nanny was on leave and Xiao Bao’s grandmother was unwell. There were only two men left in the house. How would they know how to take care of a small kid like Xiao Bao?

The Tian family also had no choice but to send this precious darling to the Zhai family temporarily and let the Zhai family take care of him for a few days.

After knowing the reason, Qiao Nan gave Xiao Bao a kiss on his face. “Is Xiao Bao sleeping with your cousins or maternal grandparents today?” Xiao Bao seldom had sleepovers at the Zhai family. After all, the residences of the two families were located quite close-by. The Tian family also had cars and it was very convenient to drive to and fro. Even if Xiao Bao were to stay overnight, he basically slept with Zhai Hua.

Xiao Bao chuckled like a little Buddha and said cleverly, “Sleep with auntie!” That voice was so loud and clear.

“…” San Bao looked at Xiao Bao angrily. “Mom is sleeping with us.”

Xiao Bao titled his head and swirled his eyeballs. He said with his baby voice in a negotiating tone, “Sleep to-together?” As long as he could sleep with auntie, he did not mind his cousins being on the same bed.

San Bao snorted. “On the account that you are my cousin, alright, I agree.” If she was not the one who came up with Xiao Bao’s name, she would not allow him to sleep with them either. This little bad egg. He was always pestering her mother and auntie never cared.

Xiao Bao kicked and Qiao Nan let him down. As soon as Xiao Bao’s feet touched the ground, he ran toward San Bao, swaying from side to side like a duck, and hugged her. He greeted her sweetly with a ‘sister’ and then kissed her on the face.

This was because Xiao Bao knew that whenever he did this, his biological grandparents would be very happy.

However, Xiao Bao did not know that San Bao was different from his grandparents. San Bao only liked her mother to kiss her. She shunned other’s excessive saliva except for those from her mother’s kisses. In particular, as Xiao Bao was still very young, he had smeared her entire face with saliva with one kiss.

San Bao grimaced and she almost cried. “Mom, my face doesn’t feel comfortable. Wipe. Not pretty anymore.”

Seeing that her nephew had made her daughter cry, Qiao Nan quickly carried San Bao into the toilet and helped her wash her face. “See, isn’t it good now? San Bao is pretty now. San Bao is a big kid and a lady. Xiao Bao is still young and doesn’t know many things. San Bao is the elder sister. You will help us take care of Xiao Bao, right?”

San Bao looked at herself in the mirror for a long time to confirm that her little face was still as pretty as before. She then nodded reluctantly. “Okay, I will take care of Xiao Bao and play with him next time. However, he cannot kiss me in the future. It’s all sticky saliva.” So uncomfortable.

Looking at San Bao’s wrinkled pinkish face and red little lips that were pouting so much that it could hang a sauce bottle, Qiao Nan could not stop smiling.
