Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief

1068 ‘Little Husband’ Is Back

To the Zhai family, it was quite a novel experience to have such a soft and gentle young lady as an additional family member.

Both Old Master Zhai and Zhai Yaohui felt regretful that Zhai Hua was not a typical young lady. In comparison with Qiao Nan, the difference was more obvious.

Looking at Qiao Nan, Old Master Zhai could not help clearing his throat. Moving forward, he was prepared to restrain his loud voice a little when he was at home.

His granddaughter-in-law did not seem like a timid one. The problem was that he kept having the feeling that his loud voice might scare her.

Although there seemed to be a balance in genders with three men and two women in the Zhai family, Zhai Hua was a lady who did not behave like one. That said, the Zhai family had many masculine members but lacked feminine ones.

With Qiao Nan, one could feel more balanced in terms of both ‘yin’ and ‘yang’ auras.

“Mom.” As soon as Miao Jing waved to her, Qiao Nan immediately walked toward her without a word. She ignored the fact that Zhai Sheng was also looking at her. She obediently sat beside Miao Jing and allowed Miao jing to hold her hand.

“Have you finished taking wedding photos? Are the photos well-taken and are you satisfied with them? If you’re not, I’ll help you teach your sister a lesson.” Miao Jing looked at Zhai Hua with an obvious look of warning.

Zhai Hua rolled her eyes. “Mom, now that you have a daughter-in-law, you don’t care about your daughter anymore? It’s the first day of Lunar New Year today. Which photography studio will be open for business? I found someone to help so that their wedding banquet won’t be delayed. There is not a word of thanks. I’m even going to receive a beating instead.”

The conversation between the mother-daughter pair was quite impolite but Qiao Nan was already used to the way that the Zhai family interacted with one another. “Mom, the photography studio introduced by Sister Zhai Hua is very good. If it’s not good, we most likely wouldn’t be able to take the set of photos with me wearing the wedding gown.”

It was only until the end of the photoshoot did Qiao Nan coincidentally hear the discussion between two of the female crew members when she went to the bathroom. They said that the groom was being too much in his request. They were already finishing with the photoshoot but he still insisted to change all the crew to female.

Fortunately, they were taking wedding photos today. Otherwise, their thoughts would have gone astray if it were other typical customers requesting for an all-female crew.

Miao Jing was curious when she heard that something had happened. “What happened?”

Qiao Nan pouted. “I don’t know why, but Brother Zhai requested for an all-female crew for the last segment of the photoshoot.”

Such a request would typically cause others to have a misunderstanding.

Miao Jing was stunned as she looked at Zhai Sheng, “Why?”

Why did he request to change an all-female crew?

Almost everyone in the Zhai family turned their eyes to Zhai Sheng. Zhai Sheng was not the lecherous type. Precisely, it was even stranger for Zhai Sheng to have made such a request.

Having been ‘betrayed’ by his wife, Zhai Sheng’s face turned sullen. He said unhappily, “No particular reason.”

“What do you mean by ‘no particular reason’?” Zhai Hua was getting annoyed. There was a problem here. “I have gotten my childhood friend to help you, yet you are nitpicking?” If not for her, there would not be any wedding photoshoot. One must know how to be grateful.

Zhai Sheng glanced sideways at Zhai Hua. “Your childhood friend?”

“...” One of the corners of Zhai Hua’s lips lifted.

Alright, she was only one year younger than Zhai Sheng. Zhai Sheng also knew her childhood friend.

“Not many photography studios are open for business on the first day of Lunar New Year, but I’m sure there are a few other choices. I have made some requests but that is also because the price of this photoshoot is not cheap. The price is high but the service attitude does not correspond with it. If that is the case, it may be better for the photography studio to close down soon.”

Zhai Sheng was in a bad mood and was thus very vicious in his words. It was as if he was saying, ‘I pay you money to work. I don’t owe you anything.’

He had spent so much money, yet he was not allowed to make a few reasonable requests?

“Old master, dinner is ready.” Upon hearing the pause in the conversation outside, the auntie walked out and said that it was dinner time.

The earlier conversation had gone into a blind alley. Since Zhai Sheng was not willing to tell, they would most likely not get anywhere by continuing to question him. They might as well save some energy and move on to having dinner.

After dinner, Zhai Hua questioned in a thievish manner, “Qiao Nan, you slept on my bed on the night of the day before Lunar New Year’s eve. You’re not going back tonight and you still have to sleep in my house for a few more nights. Where will you be sleeping? Is it going to be my room or the guest room?” She refused to mention Zhai Sheng’s name.

After saying that, Zhai Hua even looked at Zhai Sheng, flaunting her prowess. She was so provocative.

Zhai Sheng dug out Qiao Nan, who was so shy that she was about to bury herself under the table, and half-held her in his arms. He did not mind the fact that the entire family was sitting down and watching them. He also did not bother about Qiao Nan’s ant-like resistance. “Mom, Tian Dong is back.”

“Tian Dong? He is back?” When she first heard this name, Miao Jing did not react much. She just found this name very familiar. After a careful recollection, Miao Jing then widened her eyes and stared at Zhai Hua, which simply caused Zhai Hua to have goose bumps all over her.

Zhai Hua rubbed her arms. “Who is Tian Dong? What has it got to do with me that he is back? Why are you looking at me in this way? Do I know him?”

Old Master Zhai looked like he was in a dilemma. “I don’t know if it’s a good or bad thing that this lad is back. If only the matter regarding Wei De did not happen... Well, I certainly don’t fancy this lad. He’s so westernized! Nevertheless...” No matter how westernized he was, he was still much better than Wei De.

Qiao Nan knew that Zhai Sheng was not someone who would speak without any objective in mind. He definitely mentioned Tian Dong to counterattack Zhai Hua’s scoff. She whispered into Zhai Sheng’s ears, “Who is Tian Dong?”

She did not have much recollection of Tian Dong in her two lifetimes.

“He is the little husband that Zhai Hua decided for herself,” Zhai Sheng said in an earth-shattering manner.

“Is it true or false?”

“Crap. Why didn’t I know about it?!”

Qiao Nan was asking purely out of curiosity. One had to know. If Zhai Hua had really decided on a little husband for herself, how did the matters with Wei De come about? There shouldn’t have been Wei De, no?

The thing that concerned Qiao Nan most was, although Zhai Hua had decided on a little husband when she was a child, she did not even have any recollection of this ‘little husband’ when his name was mentioned today. That was so funny.

Qiao Nan could tell that Zhai Hua really did not remember much about Tian Dong. She also could not recall that she had a ‘little husband’ at all. “When did I have a little husband?!”

If she had decided on a little husband for herself, would she have looked for Wei De?

Why was it that she did not have any impression of her husband at all?

“I remember that the Tian family came back this time to pray for their ancestors. They will also be returning to the capital after the fifteenth day of Lunar New Year.” Zhai Yaohui’s eyes lit up. Actually, that young lad of the Tian family was not bad. From a certain perspective, he was quite compatible with Zhai Hua.

“If there is a chance, we can meet up to have a meal with them.” Her daughter’s marriage had already become a priority concern in Miao Jing’s heart. Miao Jing did not have much recollection on that child of the Tian family. She only remembered that Tian Dong was born in the same year as her daughter. Most likely, the difference in age was only a few months.
