Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief

Chapter 1130 - Qiao Nan Received a Presen

1130 Qiao Nan Received a Presen

For the past six months, Qiao Nan had neither been late nor applied for any leave. It was rare that she requested for half a day of leave today. As such, the other party approved it with no questions asked.

This was a volunteer who could provide great customer service and was not paid any money. If they did not even approve the leave, they were also fearful that others would label them a slave driver.

After applying for a leave, Qiao Nan got into Zhai Sheng’s car and left for the nearest Civil Affairs Bureau.

The marriage of Zhai Sheng and Qiao Nan was a military one. Zhai Sheng had with him the marriage report approved by his superiors. As such, the process of collecting the certificate was very smooth and convenient for the two of them.

As it was Saturday today, it might be a little cumbersome for others to do the collection. Nevertheless, they had no trouble given the special identity of Zhai Sheng.

When the ‘piping hot’ and stamped certificate was out, Zhai Sheng snatched it away from Qiao Nan before she could hold and examine it. “Ah, Brother Zhai, what are you doing? I have not seen it clearly. This is mine. Isn’t yours in your hands? Why did you snatch mine away?”

This was a marriage certificate that belonged to her. This was the first time that she owned it.

At most, it was a red booklet with many photographs of her and Zhai Sheng. Although it was just an ordinary booklet, Qiao Nan cherished it very much. She wanted to flip it many times and look at it properly.

Unfortunately, she had only seen the red booklet for a while before Zhai Sheng snatched it away unreasonably. That red booklet did not even carry any of her warmth in it.

As a tall and grown-up man, Zhai Sheng’s movements were very careful when he was holding their wedding certificate. It was as if the red booklet would become spoiled if he used a little more strength. He then meticulously put them away in his pocket. “You don’t need this item at normal times. This kind of identification document is quite important, so give it to me and I will safeguard it together with mine.”

When Zhai Sheng said this, it meant that he had already decided. He completely did not consider Qiao Nan’s opinions and thoughts.

There was a row of imaginary black lines on Qiao Nan’s head. “Why do you insist on putting everything away at your end? Can’t I take care of it on my own?” Brother Zhai was too domineering to have done that.

In the past, didn’t she safeguard her own identity card and household register before she married Brother Zhai?

“No.” Zhai Sheng rubbed Qiao Nan’s hair like he did when they were young to appease her. “That’s the past. This is such a tiny item. I’m afraid that you will lose it. Don’t you trust me?”

“It’s not that.” Qiao Nan denied honestly. Was it necessary to leave both wedding certificates to Brother Zhai? His attitude was too serious and solemn.

She almost suspected if their wedding certificates were made from gold and not ordinary paper.

“That’s good. Let’s go home and celebrate. We are finally married today.” After successfully ‘convincing’ Qiao Nan, Zhai Sheng’s mood turned even better. He felt that it was really great to marry a wife home. Good things kept coming his way.

Qiao Nan passively allowed Zhai Sheng to hold her hands. She not only got into his car but also deliberately went marketing to buy a lot of groceries for the celebration. They wanted to celebrate their marriage ‘again’.

“You have collected the certificate?” At the sight of her son looking excited and her daughter-in-law looking shy, Miao Jing was smiling so much that her eyes turned crescent-shaped. They had collected the certificate. Henceforth, Nan Nan’s name would be on their household register. There was nothing better than this.

“Yes.” Zhai Sheng restrained his smile. “Is there someone else at home?”

Tian Dong, who was sitting opposite Zhai Hua, could tell that the ‘someone else’ that Zhai Sheng was referring to was, of course, himself.

“Dongzi is here for a meal.” Miao Jing’s smile turned even more enthusiastic and happy.

An unmarried and mature man of marriageable age had asked her daughter out a few times after meeting the latter. He even came to their house for meals. It went without saying what this meant.

She had not discovered anything mean or unreliable about Tian Dong yet. As such, when she saw that a man finally appeared by her extroverted daughter’s side, Miao Jing was very happy to see a good outcome.

Tian Dong carried a box and passed it to Qiao Nan. “Congratulations to both of you.” He did not come to have a free meal.

Qiao Nan, who was surprised at receiving a present, raised her eyebrows as she glanced sideways at Zhai Hua.

She was going to collect the marriage certificate with Brother Zhai today. Besides the family, no one else knew. There came the problem. It was such a coincidence that Tian Dong had a gift for the newly married with him.

Could it be that Tian Dong always carried one or two presents with him all the time out of courtesy to prepare for unexpected needs?

“Do you mind if I open it?” She knew that Tian Dong came back from America. Even if Tian Dong did not pick up the liberal mindset of the foreigners, Qiao Nan believed that, at the very least, Tian Dong would not mind that she opened the present in front of him.

“Sure.” Tian Dong raised his hand.

Qiao Nan removed the ribbon, tore the packaging, and opened the box. “Necklace?” It looked like a diamond necklace. “Did you give this to the wrong person?”

Wasn’t Tian Dong wooing Sister Zhai Hua? Shouldn’t such an expensive gift be given to Sister Zhai Hua instead?

“No.” Tian Dong denied. “She doesn’t like it. If I really want to give her a present, most likely, a gun is better.”

There were clear regulations on the allocation of guns in the country. Fortunately, the situation of the Zhai family was different from that of ordinary people. Such dangerous items could not be gifted to others. However, it was definitely not a problem to gift a gun with the latest model to Zhai Hua.

After confirming that this present was for her, Qiao Nan accepted with a smile. “Thank you.”

“Don’t mention it.” He could get a ‘free’ meal after giving a necklace. That was a bargain no matter how he looked at it. Just as Zhai Hua had said to him, this young sister-in-law of Zhai Hua was quite interesting.

The auntie moved all the groceries that Zhai Sheng bought into the kitchen. Using every trick in her bag and at her fastest speed, the auntie transformed them into delicious dishes.

During this period, Zhai Sheng quietly took a few glances at Tian Dong.

In the face of Zhai Sheng’s assessment, Tian Dong did not avoid it at all. He even confronted Zhai Sheng by looking directly at him in the eye.

Although the two did not speak a word, the three women seated with them could vaguely feel the sparks between the eye exchanges of Zhai Sheng and Tian Dong.

“Madam, the dishes are ready.” Oblivious to the situation, the auntie broke the stiff atmosphere. She had prepared and placed all the dishes on the table.

“Please, help yourself.” Zhai Sheng smiled. They had not seen each other for twenty years, and Tian Dong had changed a lot.

When they were young, even Zhai Hua could make Tian Dong cry. Now, Tian Dong dared to look at him in the eye. He was much more daring than before.

Zhai Sheng was different from ordinary people. He was young and good-looking.

However, he had an extraordinary job. He had seen blood and someone had died in his hands before.

Although a person like Zhai Sheng might want to hide it, sometimes, they would exude an aura of ferocity that made people want to avoid him.

When they met Zhai Sheng, this kind of ‘devil’, timid bad guys only wanted to avoid him totally. They would not bump into him face to face.

“Come. Let’s eat. Everyone must be hungry.” Miao Jing knew that her son and Dongzi were done with the ‘combat’, so she became the mediator and asked everyone to start eating.
