Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief

After comforting his son, Father Deng went back to his room. His wife was waiting for him. “How’s our son doing?”

“How can he feel good? Since a young age, I’ve never seen him in this state. If he were still young, I reckon he would have cried now.” Father Deng was worried. Although it was summer, and summer was unbearably hot in the capital, Father Deng felt a chill inside. He covered his tummy with a thin blanket. “It would be good if we know that there is such a young lady like Qiao Nan in Peking University.”

Mother Deng did not understand. “Why would that be good?” Why would it be good for their family and their son if they knew about Qiao Nan earlier? What was the link between the two?

Seeing that Mother Deng did not understand his words, Father Deng sighed with regrets. “Wenchang is not young. These two years, he did not have the time to get a girlfriend. You should help Wenchang keep a lookout for ladies who are suitable and come from a good background. It would be good if they can aid Wenchang in his career.”

If Qiao Nan was married to his son, Qiao Nan and Wenchang would be able to work hand in hand in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The ministry would be their stage.

Moreover, even if Qiao Nan was more competent than Wenchang, she would not make things difficult for him. Instead, she would take the backstage and support him. If so, instead of Qiao Nan, Wenchang would be the one who shone today.

In fact, it was beneficial to the Deng family to have a daughter-in-law like Qiao Nan. Unless she was too obstinate and strong-willed, she would be a good help to them. After cooperating with the Peng family, Wenchang did not seem to be doing better than before. He seemed to be in the same position, not making any improvements.

“What’s the hurry!” Mother Deng was unhappy.”Wenchang studied abroad for so many years, and he just returned two years ago. He has to work, and I only get to see him in the morning and at night for two meals a day. For instance, Wenchang did not have dinner at home today.”

The family only had one son. Her husband was busy with work and she seldom saw her son. She did not spend much time with the two men that she loved most. If they had a daughter-in-law at this time, her son would belong to someone else.

Since she had a son and he was still in his prime and she did not need to be concerned about his fertility, she was in no hurry to find a wife for her son. One had to take a long time to find a good wife. They would not take any daughter-in-law randomly.

“What did you say just now? Why didn’t our son have a girlfriend in the past two years?” She thought that her son just returned from overseas and was not in a hurry to get a girlfriend. But from what Old Deng said, it was as if something had happened to her son. Could it be that he had no time to find a girlfriend?

Her son returned from overseas study. He was highly educated and good-looking. Moreover, the Deng family was well-to-do. As long as her son wanted to get a girlfriend, the women would rush toward him just like how bees were attracted to honey.

“Nothing much. You should know that Wenchang has a hard time in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The only reason why he doesn’t have a girlfriend must be that he has to work on his career. Alright, it’s getting late. Get some sleep. Otherwise, you won’t be able to wake up in time to prepare breakfast for our son. By then, don’t complain to me that you don’t get to see your son.”

Father Deng yawned. He was reluctant to continue the impossible conversation with his wife. He switched off his bedside lamp, turned to one side with his back facing his wife, and made no further comments.

Mother Deng felt unhappy. But she knew that her husband was tired from work. She stifled her anger and switched off her bedside lamp as well, lying down to sleep.

Father Deng opened his eyes when the other side of the lamp had been turned off. He was not lying when he said that Wenchang tried his best to prove that he was more competent than Qiao Nan in the past two years. However, the outcome was not what he expected.

But it had been nearly three years since he returned to the country. He did not have a single girlfriend, and he did not have the time to have a girlfriend as he was busy with work.

When Deng Wenchang was studying abroad, he would change a girlfriend almost every half a year. However, after he returned to the country, he did not have a single girlfriend. Father Deng could not help but feel sorry for his son. His son was occupied with work every day and did not have any other entertainment. He seemed to be leading the life of an ascetic monk.

Father Deng was a man and he had other women besides his wife. His son was young and at his prime, but he did not have any woman in the past two years, and he did not even get to hold their hands. Father Deng even suspected that perhaps it was due to the fact that there was an imbalance of yin and yang that his son was impatient and not in a good state of mind recently and his temper turned nasty.

If possible, he should try to find a girlfriend for Wenchang.

It was not early for Wenchang to get a girlfriend at this age. Some men already became a father at his age. But there was no suitable candidate right now. In fact, Father Deng also hoped that Deng Wenchang would have a permanent partner.

These past few years, the father and son would always talk about one topic: Qiao Nan. Although his son was full of disgust whenever he talked about Qiao Nan, Father Deng still could not help but be worried. It was better to find a woman to distract his attention and for him to relax.

It was better to be safe than sorry.

Everything he did was for his son.

Father Deng had made up his mind. He did not intend to take his wife’s words seriously. Since Mother Deng was unwilling to help her son look for a girlfriend, he would not mind asking his colleagues to keep a look out for him. Perhaps they knew a girl from a certain family who was suitable, or they knew someone who was of similar age and came from a good background. They could bring them together and create a chance for them to get to know each other.
