Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief Novel - Chapter 2169

Chapter 2169: Insincere

Once Zhai Sheng touched her hand, he would realize how soft and silky smooth a real woman’s hands should be, unlike Qiao Nan’s, which were rough and coarse.

With that thought in mind, Qiao Zijin could not help but blush. It was true that she was not as beautiful as Qiao Nan, but her skin definitely felt better than Qiao Nan’s. The only thing good about her marriage to Chen Jun was that he had not bothered when she had spent money on visiting beauty salons, and neither had he ever stopped her. She was a woman who knew how to upkeep herself, while Qiao Nan didn’t do any of that. How could Qiao Nan ever compare to her?

There were undoubtedly differences among women. But once the lights went off, a woman’s victory was determined by her body, and not her face!

Qiao Zijin had a vivid imagination, but everything depended on whether the other party was willing to cooperate with her. “I’m sorry. We don’t have the habit of eating non-seasonal fruits in our family. The weather is so cold and you want to eat watermelon? As long as you’re happy, I guess.” At home, Zhai Sheng didn’t even allow Qiao Nan to eat watermelon in winter as it wasn’t good for her health.

Watermelons could be eaten in summer to relieve the summer heat, but one still could not have too much of it.

“I’m not eating any.” Qiao Dongliang quickly refused and pulled Qiao Zijin aside. “You’re the one who likes watermelon. Since you like it, you can have more. You can even finish everything yourself.” If she were to finish that watermelon, she probably wouldn’t get the chance to speak again before leaving.

Actually, Qiao Dongliang had already felt a little uneasy when Qiao Zijin had held out a slice of watermelon for Zhai Sheng. Since the watermelon had already been cut, Qiao Zijin should have handed the plate over for Zhai Sheng to take a slice for himself. It was not like Zhai Sheng was a three-year-old who needed someone to feed him. It was inappropriate for a sister-in-law to behave in this manner.

“Dad…” Did he think she was a pig? This watermelon weighed five kilograms. How could she finish it alone? Besides, had she come just to eat watermelon? She had come to…

Qiao Zijin’s gaze turned toward Zhai Sheng. It was obvious that she wanted to have more interaction with Zhai Sheng, even if it was just to show concern toward Qiao Nan for the time being. That didn’t matter as long as Zhai Sheng gained a better understanding of her through their conversations.

Every woman hoped that her husband would genuinely love her, and only her. Instead of forcing Zhai Sheng to accept her for the sake of Qiao Nan and the three children, she had better put in some effort to develop some real feelings with Zhai Sheng. In that way, she could avoid creating more trouble once she married into the Zhai family. Qiao Zijin wanted to let Zhai Sheng and Qiao Nan know that children grew up better when their parents shared a close relationship.

“I’m sorry for not thinking it through and only remembering what Nan Nan likes to eat. I forgot that Nan Nan can’t eat this now. Look, it was always Nan Nan taking care of me growing up. To be honest, I feel rather guilty about it. Nan Nan, you spoiled me too much. Since we have such a good relationship, you should teach me how to be more like you too. Besides, I’m your elder sister. I should take more care of you.”

Qiao Zijin said as she walked toward Qiao Nan, wanting to hold Qiao Nan’s hand.

Zhai Sheng stood in the way and stopped Qiao Zijin in her tracks. “You just came in from outside and you haven’t even washed your hands. Don’t get near Nan Nan. This isn’t good for Nan Nan or the children.” As for Qiao Zijin’s monologue, not one out of the three of them gave any response.

Especially Qiao Nan. Zhai Sheng had already told her that she wouldn’t have to worry about anything as long as he was around. As such, Qiao Nan had already decided to act dead all the way upon seeing Qiao Zijin appear. She would let Zhai Sheng handle everything. It was about time for Zhai Sheng to fulfill his duties as a father and husband to protect her and the children.

Qiao Zijin could not help but feel embarrassed. “I-I’m not dirty.” So, why did he have to stop her? Qiao Nan was not made of gold or jade. Could others not even touch her?

“You have germs on you. You can’t see germs with the naked eye,” Zhai Sheng replied indifferently, merely stating the facts. “I believe what you said. Since you were young, you have always been the one getting taken care of. That’s why you don’t even have any common sense now. It’s necessary to change your clothes and wash your hands when approaching pregnant women and newborn babies. Actually, it doesn’t matter even if you don’t have any common sense, but I heard that you’re a university graduate. You can always read up and widen your knowledge. Don’t make such low-level mistakes.”

In short, there was no way Qiao Zijin was going to touch Qiao Nan.

“Yes, Zhai Sheng is right. Zijin, didn’t you realize that I haven’t gotten near Qiao Nan either?” Qiao Dongliang was different from Qiao Zijin. The first thing that Qiao Zijin had done after arriving was cut the fruits she had brought so that she could get close to Qiao Nan and Zhai Sheng. On the other hand, Qiao Dongliang had gone off to the toilet to wash his hands thoroughly. “Nan Nan, are you hungry? Do you want to have some soup?”

Unlike the fruits that Qiao Zijin had bought, the soup that Qiao Dongliang had made was suitable for pregnant women.

“Let me help!” The moment Qiao Zijin saw her chance, she immediately pushed Qiao Dongliang aside, wanting to snatch Qiao Dongliang’s flask of soup away from him to pour some out for Qiao Nan. “Nan Nan, Dad spent a lot of time making this soup. It’s very nutritious. Smell it. It’s so fragrant. You should have more. You know, when I was pregnant, it was always you and Mom taking care of me. Dad didn’t even help out. I’m so jealous that Dad’s made soup for you this time. Dad’s so good to you.”

Her mom was good to her, but her dad was good to Qiao Nan. So Qiao Nan had better not feel wronged or get upset at the unfair treatment in the Qiao family. Each parent had their favorite. Qiao Nan had never been shortchanged.

Qiao Dongliang was stunned for a moment, but the moment he saw Qiao Zijin pouring the soup, he fumed. “Zijin, didn’t you hear Zhai Sheng? You didn’t even wash your hands! How could you pour the soup for Nan Nan?” If possible, Qiao Dongliang did not mean to ask Qiao Zijin to wash her hands. He wanted her gone!

An insincere heart was an insincere heart, after all. Qiao Zijin still had not gone off to wash her hands after all that talk.
