Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief

Her mother wasn’t as easy to coax as before. “Mom, don’t be angry. I wanted breakfast not because I was hungry. I was just worried you’re hungry. At your age, you should be enjoying life. Of course, you shouldn’t go hungry. If you fall ill, I’ll feel heartache. Furthermore, how expensive could a breakfast cost? Even if it was expensive, would it be more expensive than your health? If my conditions were as good as Qiao Nan’s, I would have considered these a long time ago. I’d guarantee that there’s a good breakfast in front of you every time you woke up. You have to know that your health is more important to me than anything else.”

“What is money? If you spend it, you can always earn it back. Mom, if your health’s gone, it’s really gone. Mom, you have been hungry until now. Does your stomach feel uncomfortable?” Qiao Zijin sat next to Ding Jiayi and leaned on her body as if spineless.

When Qiao Zijin was young, Ding Jiayi thought that her daughter was pouting when she did this. However, she was a mother now as well. When Qiao Zijin did this again, Ding Jiayi felt weird. Furthermore, when Qiao Zijin did this when she was young, it wasn’t like that.

Ding Jiayi felt uncomfortable and sat to the side. “Sit properly. Why are you going all limp on me as if spineless? Why? Did the bones in your body end up in my stomach when I gave birth to you back then? Also, you weren’t like this when you were young. Where did you learn such things from? Why are you acting like the vixens on TV?”

How would Ding Jiayi have thought that Qiao Zijin had self-learned these and used them on men all along? It was rare that Qiao Zijin wanted to seriously coax Ding Jiayi today. Otherwise, Ding Jiayi wouldn’t have seen this side of Qiao Zijin.

It was just that when Qiao Zijin did this, she seemed to have forgotten something. Not only was this person before her a female, but she was also her biological mother. She wasn’t the type of easy-going man she had come into contact with before.

When a similar method was used on different subjects, it was obvious that the effect would be very different.

As long as Qiao Zijin revealed this soft and charming side to her, even Zhou Zheng would be willing to give Qiao Zijin a little more living allowance when they were in Ping Cheng. It was needless to say for other men.

However, Qiao Zijin had used this method on her own biological mother today. Not only did Ding Jiayi feel that she wasn’t coaxed, but she even felt uncomfortable all over as if a hundred ants were crawling and biting her body. As such, Qiao Zijin couldn’t get a breakfast out of Ding Jiayi, let alone some money.

“Qiao Nan, you’re finally here. You don’t know how hungry Mom has been. Before taking a look at the house, bring me and Mom for a meal.” Once Qiao Nan appeared in the afternoon, Qiao Zijin entered the car first and asked for a meal without another word.

Qiao Nan didn’t have any reaction to Qiao Zijin’s words. She only looked at Ding Jiayi.

Ding Jiayi’s face flushed red. She said softly, “Yes, we have been waiting for you. We haven’t eaten yet and are hungry now.” Ding Jiayi found it a little unbearable that they didn’t have a good breakfast. Now that it was time for lunch, Ding Jiayi was extremely hungry.

“Eat!” Qiao Nan laughed coldly and handed over the rice box in her hands to Ding Jiayi. “That was right as well. With me around, you would be so stingy that you wouldn’t bear to spend on a meal. Forget it that you couldn’t bear to eat, but since when couldn’t you bear to spend on your precious eldest daughter as well? I didn’t expect this at all.”

In the past, Ding Jiayi would rather not eat than to let Qiao Zijin starve.

She heard that the stomach of Qiao Zijin, who was sitting in the backseat, was indeed growling. Qiao Nan was surprised. Even if Ding Jiayi was unwilling to, Qiao Zijin would have used all ways to fill her stomach. It was precisely because of that that Qiao Nan only prepared a lunch box for Ding Jiayi.

She couldn’t be bothered to bring Ding Jiayi to eat at another place. A meal wouldn’t be cheap as well. Qiao Nan wasn’t very willing to spend on Ding Jiayi. Furthermore, she was going to help Ding Jiayi rent a house today. That was another huge sum of money.

Ding Jiayi didn’t answer Qiao Nan. She knew that if it were in the past, she would really have done that. However, she only wanted to fill her stomach first now.

The scent of the lunch box was very strong.

Once Ding Jiayi opened the lunch box, she started to eat at an alarming speed. In the blink of an eye, half of the white rice was already in Ding Jiayi’s stomach. Qiao Nan casually handed over an unopened bottle of mineral water in the car to Ding Jiayi. She didn’t want Ding Jiayi to choke on her food while eating in her car. She would have to send her to the hospital then.

A full box of rice went down her stomach. Ding Jiayi gave a comfortable burp and looked satisfied. “It feels good to be full.” After drinking a few sips of water, Ding Jiayi felt that such a life was pretty good.

“Me. What about me?” Qiao Zijin was anxious. She was still hungry.

“Yours? I didn’t prepare it.” Qiao Nan turned the steering wheel and into the community. “Okay, we’ve reached. Get down.”

“Okay.” Ding Jiayi, who had finished eating, had no opinion on Qiao Nan’s arrangement. Looking at the towering building, Ding Jiayi was thrilled. “You rented a house for me here. I’ll stay here in the future, right?”

“Yes.” With the key in her hands, Qiao Nan walked in front and pressed for the lift. She got Ding Jiayi to remember the unit number well. “Remember where you live in the future. Don’t forget how to come back home after heading out.”

In a place like the capital, it was already generous of Qiao Nan to provide a bedroom and a living room for Ding Jiayi alone, as this was equivalent to a small suite where an average family of three could live in. She had done what she could. Qiao Nan would definitely not let anyone have something to attack her with over such a small matter.

“Don’t worry. I’m not senile. I will definitely remember it.” In Ping Cheng, Ding Jiayi had never seen such a house before. There were even elevators. Ding Jiayi was happy. “I’m guessing that among the people in the northern quad, only I have the blessing to live in such a good house. Is this the one? Let’s take a look quickly!”

Qiao Nan opened the door. Ding Jiayi entered. Initially, she was still smiling. Then, she frowned. “This looks not bad. However, isn’t it a little too small? It’s only half of our house at the very most.” It looked like a bird’s nest.

Qiao Nan sat down and looked at Ding Jiayi. “If the Qiao family’s house is rented out, the monthly rental is only a hundred yuan, right?”

“…” It was less than a hundred.

“The rent here is five times that in Ping Cheng.” Qiao Nan reached out a palm as if wanting to slap Ding Jiayi to her death.
