Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief

Panda Novel

In other words, Zhou Xing was his cousin.

At the thought that Zhou Xing had always been clear of the relationship between the two of them and had insisted on chasing him and making him her boyfriend, Zhai Xin’s expression darkened.

Zhai Yi had considered the matter more than Zhai Xin. With his arms around his chest, he narrowed his eyes and stared at Zhou Xing. “So that means that you approached our family with bad intentions, and I was your initial target, right?”

The moment Zhai Yi said that, Zhou Xing spat out even more of her drink. Everyone there had a tacit understanding. Even without Zhou Xing responding, the mother and son trio already knew the answer from her reaction alone.

Qiao Nan’s expression was the worst. She had never expected that Zhou Xing was not only planning on getting revenge on her but had even set her eyes on Zhai Yi and had gotten together with Zhai Xin even though she had no feelings for him. Because Zhai Yi had not taken the bait, the more outgoing Zhai Xin had become Zhou Xing’s second choice as her boyfriend.

As a mother, the thought of Zhou Xing plotting against her two brilliant sons gave Qiao Nan the impulse to slap Zhou Xing in the face.

Was Zhou Xing planning on being Diao Chang and provoke Da Bao and Er Bao like Diao Chan did to Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu? Was she intending on making them her enemies? Did she really think of herself as a femme fatale? “You’re really like your mom.” Her thoughts were just as childish and unreasonable.

“Thank you. I’m my mom’s daughter. If I don’t resemble her, who else would I resemble?” There was no need for Zhou Xing to keep up her pretense. In the first place, her relationship with Zhai Xin had not yet stabilized. They had only gone on two dates together and had not even held hands, let alone had any other intimate contact. One was the mother who had raised him for twenty years, while the other was a girlfriend of less than two months. No matter how much Zhou Xing idealized the situation, she understood that there was no way Zhai Xin would choose to give up his mom just for her.

But one’s rationality is often separate from one’s emotions.

While saying this, Zhou Xing stared at Zhai Xin, hoping that Zhai Xin would respond to her. Unfortunately, up until the very end, Zhai Xin had never once revealed a look of anger or heartache for her.

The disappointed Zhou Xing could not help but attack Zhai Xin. “Zhai Xin, you’re not a man. Even if you can’t rebuke your mom for me, I’m still your girlfriend. Shouldn’t you try to protect me? Are you still unweaned? Does your whole world revolve around your mom? You don’t even have opinions of your own! All you know is follow whatever your mom says! You treat your mom as though she was the Empress Cixi! You’re such a coward! I’m so unlucky to be your girlfriend! Do you mean to break up with me? Just be prepared to spend your whole life being a good son to your mom!”

She had really expected the tall and muscular Zhai Xin to act like a young child in front of his mother and that he would follow Qiao Nan’s every order. She could hardly believe that Zhai Xin had already come of age.

Although her mother had died early, she could confidently say that even if her mom were still around, she would not agree even if her mom were to force her to break up under such circumstances.

After scolding Zhai Xin, Zhou Xing could not help but look at Zhai Yi. She wanted to know if Zhai Yi, as the eldest son, was just like Zhai Xin and would never refuse Qiao Nan’s request. Even if he grew up and got a girlfriend in the future, he would take Qiao Nan’s words as the law.

But by doing so, Zhou Xing had angered Qiao Nan and her two sons. Their anger was evident in their eyes. Zhai Yi had already made it clear about his suspicions of Zhou Xing’s first target being himself and that Zhou Xing had only gone after Zhai Xin because he had not fallen for her tricks. With such a reaction, Zhou Xing had just exposed herself and admitted to Zhai Yi’s suspicions being the truth.

Of course, the one with the darkest and most vicious expression was Zhai Xin. Zhai Xin was so angry that he did not even know who he should scold. Even if he had no feelings, he had dated his own cousin! To put it crudely… He did not want to say such awful things, but that was the truth!

He had become a couple with his own cousin! And she had even known about this relationship between them from the beginning! Zhai Xin had already been exasperated to begin with, but now, he had even found out that he had not even been Zhou Xing’s first choice! Her first choice had been Zhai Yi! Even though the matter was ridiculous in itself, Zhai Xin could not help but feel utterly degraded.

He would never in a million years have imagined that his first relationship would be so awful, let alone downright embarrassing and humiliating. As the party concerned, Zhai Xin finally understood how Qiao Nan felt about her relationship with Qiao Zijin.

Now that the mother was gone, it was time for the daughter to make her move. Why was there not a single person who was normal in his maternal grandma’s family?

“Mom, it’s late. Let’s go.” Zhai Yi could not even be bothered to answer Zhou Xing. After all, this question would never be in their purview. His mom was not an unreasonable person and had not even had a huge reaction to the news of Zhai Xin dating Zhou Xing.

If it was not for the news of Zhou Xing’s true identity, his mom would probably not have come forward to prevent this relationship from developing any further. But when Zhai Yi thought about how Zhou Xing was their cousin and even dared to date her own cousin, Zhai Yi could not help but view Zhou Xing as a lunatic.

He could sense that the relationship between Zhou Xing and Zhai Xin was not just a typical campus relationship. If Zhou Xing had intended on staying together with Zhai Xin until the end, Zhai Yi could not imagine what their family would become if that were really to happen.

“Alright.” Since she had already achieved her aim, Qiao Nan did not have any hopes of Zhou Xing coming to her senses, After all, this was something that Qiao Zijin had not managed to do even up until her death. A person would normally forget about the evils of the world and think of good things nearing death. But that did not apply to Qiao Zijin.

Qiao Nan stood up and called the waiter over. After paying for the drinks, she said to Zhai Yi and Zhai Xin, “Before I came, I simply told your grandma that I was here to check on you boys. It’s late and I have to make a move. Your grandma hasn’t been in good health recently. When you two get the chance, try to come home to visit her. As for Zhou Xing, Er Bao, Mom believes that you’ll handle it well. You’re not a muddleheaded child, so I won’t care about this matter anymore. You can do whatever you deem fit.”

She did not even have any hopes that Zhou Xing would come to her senses. So naturally, Qiao Nan was not expecting Zhou Xing to back off shamefully even after today’s incident and leave Er Bao alone, much less put an end to this relationship that should never have started.
