Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief Novel - Chapter 1269

Chapter 1269: Removing the Malignant Tumor

At the thought that the one-year-old Er Bao already knew how to throw tantrums at her, Qiao Nan did not know whether to laugh or cry. She was the mother. However, until now, she had not figured out why the mischievous Er Bao was moody without an apparent reason. Could someone give her a synopsis of the last episode?

Miao Jing used her hands to feel Er Bao’s body, from his hair to his sole.

Just as Qiao Nan said, there was nothing wrong with Er Bao. He was sleeping, looking as rosy as an apple. He looked so healthy. There did not seem to be a problem with him at all. “It’s a false alarm then? But last night, Er Bao… What’s wrong with Er Bao?” Why did he behave in that way without an apparent reason?

Qiao Nan then carried Da Bao and brought him into the bathroom.

As soon as Qiao Nan took off his pants, Da Bao peed automatically. He mumbled ‘mom’. Thereafter, he closed his eyes and continued to sleep.

After Da Bao, it was Er Bao’s turn, followed by San Bao. After she was done with all the three children, Qiao Nan heaved a sigh of relief. “I guess Er Bao was probably just throwing tantrums yesterday. As to why he did that, I really don’t know. Er Bao was still quite happy when I reached home. However, he was suddenly pulling a long face. Did anything happen?”

A little person the size of a bean could become moody. He almost scared everyone to death. Facing such a son, Qiao Nan did not know what to do either.

Qiao Nan could not help doubting. Was Brother Zhai really going to send Da Bao and Er Bao to the army together?

She wanted to say something that typically would not come from a mother. She was almost convinced that Er Bao was more suited for an acting career.

After confirming that Er Bao did not have any issue, Miao Jing felt completely at ease then. “Since there is nothing wrong with Er Bao, why don’t you sleep a while longer? It’s still early now. It’s easy for others to catch a handle on you when you are in low spirits.” It would be too unjustified if this situation were to occur. “Why don’t you inform your master and ask him to help you request for leave?”

Her daughter-in-law’s heart ached for her. Similarly, Miao Jing could not bear to see Qiao Nan so tied up. It was as if she was a top that was spinning every day. There was no time for her to stop and rest.

Although Qiao Nan really felt like requesting for leave, she shook her head eventually. “No. Fortunately, during normal days, I have enough sleep. It’s seldom that I don’t sleep well for an entire night. Last night, I did have some sleep. At most, I just didn’t sleep well. However, Mom, after I come home today, I may need you to take care of the triplets more. I can make up for some of the lost sleep.”

This was the first time that she had to keep vigil overnight. Qiao Nan was not quite used to it.

The problem was that Qiao Nan knew that she was new to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and someone viewed her as an eyesore.

This was a rare and excellent opportunity to learn. In addition, her master had forsaken his pride to get this for her. Although it was just an internship, Qiao Nan felt that she should be conscientious and do her best. At the very least, she should not ruin the reputations of her master and senior.

At Qiao Nan’s insistence, Miao Jing had no other choice. She could only send Qiao Nan off after appeasing the three children.

Qiao Nan had never fancied beverages like coffee. In her previous life, she drank coffee to stay overnight for the sake of earning money. At the end of the day, Qiao Nan felt like vomiting each time she smelled coffee.

In fact, as she thought about past happenings, Qiao Nan felt quite strange. She had been suffering so badly but her health was very good. Each year, during the free medical examination provided by the company for the employees, her health report was almost perfect.

On the contrary, Qiao Zijin, who had been sheltered, doted on by her parents, and did not suffer much in life, contracted uremia and had to change her kidney. Until today, Qiao Nan could not figure out why this was the case. She had thought that she would die earlier than Qiao Zijin.

Alright. In fact, she was the one who died first eventually.

The only difference was that Qiao Zijin might die of illness, while she had died of an accident caused by her mother.

At the smell of coffee, Qiao Nan yawned and entered the office. She sat down on her intern seat.

She had completed that ad-hoc mission yesterday. There was some follow-up work to be done. However, these were not something that both Qiao Nan and Deng Wenchang, who were newcomers, could participate in.

Deng Wenchang joined the department earlier than Qiao Nan. When he saw that Qiao Nan was having panda eyes, looking pale, apathetic, and down-spirited, he assumed that she must have overindulged herself with ‘enjoyment’ last night.

Deng Wenchang sneered continuously. He was guessing that Qiao Nan might have some capability but it was insufficient. The materials that she had prepared for his master probably did not have much impact or use. He dared say that the information was definitely not prepared or organized by Qiao Nan.

Perhaps Qiao Nan had engaged someone to complete the mission.

This was detestable. He had carried out his work relying on his own ability but was not given any opportunity. On the other hand, an opportunistic individual like Qiao Nan, who engaged underhand and unscrupulous means, was not only given the opportunity but also received affirmation. It was so unfair.

It was best that Qiao Nan did not let him seize her upon the chinks in the armor. Otherwise, he would chase Qiao Nan out in the same way that she joined this department.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not need someone like Qiao Nan who relied on interpersonal connections. If they were to let her stay, one day, she would definitely become a malignant tumor of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs!

Qiao Nan did not know Deng Wenchang’s unspoken criticism of her. She only knew that Deng Wenchang’s petty eyes were on her from time to time, and there was no sign of amiability in those eyes. Only the dead would not feel the feelings of coldness in them.

Qiao Nan insisted not to take leave today not because of other reasons but because of Deng Wenchang’s existence.

Each time Deng Wenchang was prejudiced against her, Qiao Nan was both helpless and angry. She felt that she was too unfortunate to encounter a weirdo like Deng Wenchang.

She was still furious at Deng Wenchang’s look of disdain and shame toward her. In particular, Deng Wenchang looked so high and mighty that even the good-tempered Qiao Nan could barely resist the urge to clench her fists and beat him up.

Spat! What was this?

No one was better than the other, okay?

She certainly joined the ministry through some means. However, the way that Deng Wenchang joined the ministry was not that open and honest either.

Facing an individual like Deng Wenchang, who adopted the stand that ‘one may steal a horse while another may not look over a hedge’, Qiao Nan did not wish to be colleagues with him if she had a choice. In particular, she did not want to sit in the same office as him whereby they would meet each other frequently.

It was too much of a torture.

Neither she nor Deng Wenchang was pleased.

Deng Wenchang had been staring at her with ‘scorching’ eyes. Qiao Nan was not quite used to this. She very much wished that she could lift a book and cover her face so that she could cut off that stare which made her uncomfortable.

Fortunately, before Qiao Nan could do that, He Yi appeared and broke the awkward and strange atmosphere between Qiao Nan and Deng Wenchang. “Xiao Qiao, you’re here so early today?” He Yi made a trip home. It seemed that he had resolved the issues well.
