Rebirth To A Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief Chapter 1802 - Ask About It Yourself

Chapter 1802: Ask About It Yourself

Did the chief really not want a child?

Children were small and soft. Hugging them felt like hugging a pillow with no bones. They were extremely adorable. What was there not to like?

“You can’t take jokes? Then, why aren’t you leaving?” Zhai Sheng was finally willing to let Sun Guohong off. “I’m not joking about this. You can leave. I still have many things to settle. I can’t keep playing host to you around here. But if you’re hungry, you can stay for a meal. I’m not sure if you’ll be used to the dishes cooked by the new nanny that Xiao Xu hired.” He still felt that Qiao Nan’s cooking suited his palate more.

Sun Guohong pretended to wipe away his sweat. “Wow, it was so difficult to get treated to a meal. I really have to thank my chief.” To be honest, Sun Guohong was truly hungry. He had not been in a hurry to leave because he was looking for a chance to take a look at the woman named Qiao Nan.

After knowing the chief for twenty years, this was the first time that the chief was taking such a keen interest in a woman outside of the Zhai family! He believed in whatever he had found. Qiao Nan was not an aggressive woman, and neither was there anything wrong with her. As such, it was really interesting that the chief was paying so much attention to her.

He had to see for himself what kind of woman she was to be able to move a man like the chief, who was like an iron tree that had not bloomed in years.

Xiao Xu had heard Zhai Sheng and had come to bring Sun Guohong for dinner. Xiao Xu was probably clear that Sun Guohong had once been his senior, an old soldier who had been under Zhai Sheng’s helm. As such, Xiao Xu’s att.i.tude toward Sun Guohong was very good. He affectionately addressed Sun Guohong as his ‘elder brother’.

“Oh, you mean that your mom was the one who found the caretaker for the chief? Your mom’s amazing! She’s always thinking about you and helps you out! Xiao Xu, you’re really blessed.” Sun Guohong patted Xiao Xu on the shoulder a little too strongly. There was no other choice. Even if Xiao Xu did not know about Sun Guohong’s situation, it was truly asking for a beating by talking about how amazing his mom was in front of someone who did not have a mom.

Of course, Xiao Xu felt a little pain in his shoulder. But he only took it as Sun Guohong emphasizing how good his mom was and did not pay any attention to it. “That’s right. My mom treats me so well! Her judgment is great too!” His mom had done a great job in finding Sister Qiao this time!

Looking at Xiao Xu, who did not seem to understand what was going on, Sun Guohong sighed. Without the chief in the picture, Xiao Xu should probably address him as ‘uncle’. It did not seem too good to be bullying his junior. “By the way, I’m not planning on leaving just yet. I’m thinking of having a tour around Qingshui Town. Do you have any recommendations? Where’s your house?”

He had found all information related to Qiao Nan, but they all dated back to before Qiao Nan had left Ping Cheng. It had only been two months since Qiao Nan left Ping Cheng and moved to Qingshui Town. There had been nothing much for him to investigate these past two months. Besides, Zhai Sheng had only asked him to look into Qiao Nan’s past in Ping Cheng. Thus, Sun Guohong truly had no idea about where Qiao Nan was living.

The innocent and simple Xiao Xu hid nothing from the sly and cunning fox, Sun Guohong, and directly gave Sun Guohong his address. “Qingshui Town has a good environment, but I don’t think we really have any interesting attractions around. If you like to enjoy the scenery and take in some fresh air, I can recommend two places to you. These two places are in the mountains and are surrounded by good scenery. They’ve built a path so that hikers can go up there. You can hike and train your body while enjoying the view! Some people like things like that.”

Because Qingshui Town had a good environment, all those projects that would pollute the environment were banned in Qingshui Town. Over time, Qingshui Town still retained the taste of the ancient days when compared to the new and ever-changing world outside.

“Oh, I see. Alright. Thanks!” Sun Guohong automatically filtered through Xiao Xu’s words, keeping only the important information and simply chucking the unnecessary ones away. “All right. You still have to stay by the chief’s side to take care of him. I’ll go and have a look around. I had a little too much food just now. I think a walk will help my digestion. Oh, should I go to the pharmacy and get some digestive pills?”

“Do you need me to guide you to the pharmacy?”

“That won’t be necessary. Don’t you see that I have a mouth? If I really can’t find my way there, I’ll just ask someone along the way. Thinking about it, Qingshui Town’s residents should be quite helpful, right?” Sun Guohong shook his head. Would he not be shooting himself in the foot if he let Xiao Xu follow him? He could not possibly bring Xiao Xu along to see what kind of woman Qiao Nan was, after all.

Zhai Sheng could not be left alone in such a huge old villa. Apart from Zhai Sheng himself, there was only Sister Zhao, who had just arrived. It was truly difficult to find a third living person in such a big house. As such, Xiao Xu quickly nodded. “All right. Be careful.”

Sun Guohong patted Xiao Xu’s shoulder with normal strength this time. “You rascal, have you forgotten what I used to do? If I had not retired from the military at that time, I’d be your boss now. You’re undermining your superior’s abilities. Rascal, don’t doubt the abilities of your leaders!”

If people like him had to watch out for his safety, then other people would not even dare to leave their houses.

Knowing that his concern had been treated as a joke, Xiao Xu scratched his scalp and remained silent. Perhaps all businessmen had such glib tongues. If he were to say anything more, he might make a bigger joke of himself.

After successfully ditching Xiao Xu, Sun Guohong headed directly to the apartment that Qiao Nan had rented.

Coincidentally, Qiao Nan had accidentally dropped the keyboard she had been using, breaking it. If she bought another one on Taobao, the earliest her parcel would arrive was the next day due to the different regions. She might even have to wait several days.

Because of taking care of Zhai Sheng, Qiao Nan’s work had piled up over the past few days. What gave Qiao Nan the biggest headache was that it was nearing the end of the year. As such, there were quite a few companies that were trying to settle their accounts, and they looked for Qiao Nan for translation works, thus increasing her workload by more than ten times!

Of course, with the two days’ worth of work that she had already owed, the rapid increase in her workload meant that Qiao Nan was struggling to cope. Waiting a day for a new keyboard meant that she would lose another day’s worth of work. Qiao Nan could not afford to wait any longer. She did not have any more time to waste.

The functions of keyboards were all quite similar. At most, they differed slightly in terms of functionalities. In order to clear her workload as soon as possible, Qiao Nan decided to head downstairs to the supermarket to buy a new keyboard.
