Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief

Xu Shengnan was already trying very hard to hold back by not splashing the drink in her hands on Fang Shiyou’s face to wake him up.

Knowing that Fang Shiyou had no other legitimate reason for approaching her, Xu Shengnan did not hesitate to leave. Fang Shiyou, who had been left behind, blinked blankly in confusion. Did that mean that the reason Xu Shengnan had not found someone else after the divorce was not that she had been waiting for him? That was impossible. Xu Shengnan was definitely denying it and lying to him just because of that incident that happened a few years ago.

If he were to give up at this moment, there would really be no chance of him being married to Xu Shengnan again in his entire lifetime.

With his persistent and dauntless spirit, Fang Shiyou’s attitude toward Xu Shengnan was even more eager than he had been when the two had first met when they were much younger. He did not treat Xu Shengnan lightly or put in less effort just because this was a remarriage. Now that he had gotten older, Fang Shiyou finally understood that he could no longer work so hard.

In a few years, his elder daughter would graduate and join the workforce. At his age, he was going to reach the retirement age after a few more years of work. But the problem was that currently, not only did he have to work hard, but he even had to reduce his expenses to repay his mortgage.

Once his daughter graduated, even if Xu Shengnan did not help repay the mortgage, at least his daughter could do so. Two people repaying it was better than one. He would put aside the matter of his second child for the time being. Up until now, he only had one daughter. That was Ling Ling. If Ling Ling were to help him repay the mortgage, would this apartment not go to her eventually?

Even after having gotten a divorce, Fang Shiyou did not entirely ignore Xu Shengnan’s matters. Initially, Fang Shiyou did not specially keep up with Xu Shengnan’s situation.

When the two of them had just gotten divorced, Fang Shiyou had devoted all his passion to his ‘true love’ and his son. After his ‘true love’ insisted on getting a divorce out of the blue and even took their son away after the divorce, Fang Shiyou was now helpless and troubled since he had neither money nor companionship. The thought of having to repay his monthly mortgage and live a bitter life killed Fang Shiyou’s mood.

One day, Fang Shiyou was unable to relieve his depression and went for a walk. He unknowingly returned to the gate of that huge house in the Third Ring neighborhood that he had shared with Xu Shengnan. What surprised Fang Shiyou was the sight of Xu Shengnan returning home with a smile on her face and Ling Ling’s hand in hers.

Fang Shiyou’s first reaction was suspecting that Xu Shengnan felt the same way as he did. Perhaps, after their divorce, she realized that her happiest days were when they had not got divorced and were still living in this house together. So, Xu Shengnan had deliberately brought their daughter back to reminisce about the times that they had together before the incident.

But before Fang Shiyou got his hopes up, he immediately saw two people that surprised him even more: his former father-in-law and mother-in-law, or in other words, Xu Shengnan’s parents.

Mother Xu’s dressing was very homely. Just one look at her was enough to conclude that she had no intention of going out. Besides, there was a bag of rubbish in her hands. That clearly meant that she had just come out of the house and was intending to return home immediately after throwing away the rubbish. As for Father Xu, he was dressed casually, and he was rather relaxed as well.

Fang Shiyou had lived in this estate for a good eight to nine years. Upon seeing the direction that Father Xu was taking, he was clearly heading to the neighborhood minimart. No one would head directly to the large supermarkets if they were just occasionally out of some basic ingredients at home. For the sake of convenience, they would head to the neighborhood minimart at times like this.

Evidently, Father Xu’s house was just lacking some small items. That was why he was headed to the minimart. But the problem was that Father Xu and Mother Xu did not live here. Why had the two of them come down from there? And why did they act as though they lived here?

Fang Shiyou could not hold in his curiosity. After registering his name under the visitors’ list, he entered the neighborhood to take a look. When he saw Father Xu return happily with a bottle of soy sauce, Fang Shiyou hid himself once again and personally saw Father Xu enter the elevator. Only after the elevator doors shut did he run to the elevator and watch the ever-changing numbers on the elevator display, which stopped at the number that he had pressed for eight to nine years.

The same neighborhood, the same block, and the same floor.

Did such coincidences really exist in this world? Did Xu Shengnan’s family really purchase an apartment in the same building as their previous apartment? Moreover, the property prices in this neighborhood had long ago risen beyond affordable prices. Even if it was Xu Shengnan, she could not have purchased it so easily.

Fang Shiyou had reasons to believe that the Xu family was staying in the exact same apartment that he and Xu Shengnan had purchased in the past.

With such speculation and suspicion, Fang Shiyou left with a dark expression.

In the next few days, Fang Shiyou spent a Herculean effort to figure out this housing situation. When he had gotten divorced from Xu Shengnan, they had indeed sold the house to someone whom they did not know. But within a month’s time, the apartment had once again landed up in Xu Shengnan’s hands.

Fang Shiyou was no fool either. His divorce from Xu Shengnan had indeed happened a few years ago. But even then, Xu Shengnan could not have coughed up such a huge sum of money to pay for the apartment in such a short period of time. So, there must have been someone who had helped Xu Shengnan get the house back into her possession.

At this moment, Fang Shiyou did not even think about anyone else. The first person who came to mind was naturally Qiao Nan. Ever since he learned from his mother that Xu Shengnan’s close junior was such a brilliant figure, one could tell at first glance just how envious Fang Shiyou was.

Naturally, Fang Shiyou could not think of anyone else who had such a huge sum of money lying around to help Xu Shengnan settle the matter of the house. There could only be one person: Xu Shengnan’s junior.

Ever since he moved away from this apartment, his houses had only gotten smaller and further away from the city center. On the other hand, Xu Shengnan had happily moved into their previous apartment along with her parents and was now living comfortably. What right did she have to do that? Just because she had an outstanding junior?

Fang Shiyou could not hold this in any longer. In the end, he spilled the truth of the matter to his mother. It felt like a stab in the back. Up until now, Mother Fang was still unable to forget their previous apartment. But who would have expected that Father and Mother Xu, whom she had looked down on for coming from the countryside, were now living there in her place! Mother Fang was just short of screaming her lungs out that the Xu family was shameless to have snatched their Fang family’s house.
