Caressing Qiu Chenxi’s head, Qi Minlan felt similarly, thinking that it would be better if Qiu Chenxi had a child by her side. “Are you thinking of adopting a child?” Qi Minlan had already lost all hope of Qiu Chenxi having her own child. Qi Minlan had not forgotten the doctor’s words. Qiu Chenxi was now barren.

“I don’t want to raise anyone else’s child.” There was no point in doing so.

“What do you mean?” Qi Minlan’s hand stopped midair. Who would hand their own child over to Chenxi apart from the orphanage?

“Mom, I want to raise Zhai Sheng’s child.” The only way she would be able to remarry Zhai Sheng and become the chief’s wife was by raising Zhai Sheng’s child and being the mother of Zhai Sheng’s child.

Because of Qiu Chenxi’s words, Qi Minlan, who was almost seventy, took the long journey to the far-away town of her memories, Qingshui Town. Qi Minlan was not even sure if she would succeed in her mission this time.

But for the sake of her daughter’s happiness, she had to make this journey, and she would do her best to ensure her success. “Hello, is anyone there?”

Upon hearing a stranger’s voice, Qiao Nan hesitated. It was also because she had almost been scared to death by Qiu Chenxi making a scene at midnight the other day. That day, she had been fortunate that Qiu Chenxi had turned up alone. If Qiu Chenxi had called a whole gang of people along, as she had done in her dream, she would probably have been gone by the time the police arrived.

As such, Qiao Nan was a little hesitant to open the door this time. “Who’s that? What’s the matter?” Qiao Nan asked while trying to peer outside. Then, she saw a stranger who looked a little familiar. Thinking carefully about it, Qiao Nan finally realized who that woman in front of her door was.

“I’m...” Qi Minlan did not know how to introduce herself to Qiao Nan either. If she introduced herself as Qiu Chenxi’s mother, Qiao Nan would probably refuse to open the door. However, if she did not state her identity, Qiao Nan would probably not care about her either.

“Please wait a minute.” Qiao Nan did not harp on Qi Minlan’s identity and decided on a call to Zhai Sheng. She could not understand why these people were all coming to find her one after the other, especially Qiu Chenxi and Qi Minlan. Shouldn’t they look for Zhai Sheng instead?

Upon receiving Qiao Nan’s call, Zhai Sheng rushed to Qiao Nan’s house. Qiao Nan had not even told Zhai Sheng about Qiu Chenxi appearing the previous time, but now that Qi Minlan had turned up, she had conveniently told Zhai Sheng about that incident too.

After waiting outside for a while, Qi Minlan sensed that something was amiss. When she spotted Zhai Sheng with a dark expression, Qi Minlan could only stare blankly. He was undoubtedly Zhai Yaohui’s son. No matter how bad the background of that woman inside was, the men of the Zhai family could not care less about such a thing as long as they were moved. They were like saints.

Qi Minlan laughed sarcastically. “You’ve come so quickly?”

Zhai Sheng could not even be bothered to address her. “Nan Nan, I’m here. You can open the door now.” Zhai Sheng agreed that Qiao Nan should not need to face Qiu Chenxi or Qi Minlan alone. Qiao Nan was simple and was not scheming like Qiu Chenxi, and neither did she have wide connections.

Upon opening the door, both of them entered. The first thing Zhai Sheng did upon entering was to instruct Qiao Nan. “Nan Nan, go and pack up your things. I’ll bring you back to the Zhai family’s old villa. My marriage report has already been approved. There’s no need for us to be hiding anything.”

To soldiers, a marriage report being approved was as good as being married, and this was a military marriage, no less.

The reason why Zhai Sheng had said these things in front of Qi Minlan was to warn her. At that time, Qiu Chenxi had cheated on him and had destroyed a military marriage. If Zhai Sheng really wanted to take issue with that, would Qiu Chenxi have been able to live so freely? She would have been thrown into jail to be reformed!

Even if no one else respected her, she had to respect herself!

At the mention of Qiu Chenxi’s affair, Qi Minlan was too ashamed to face Zhai Sheng. She had not even despised Qiu Qin for having an affair, but she felt too ashamed to persuade Zhai Sheng to cherish her daughter, who had been at fault. “Zhai Sheng, is there really no turning back on the account of all those years of your relationship with Chenxi? Chenxi knows she’s wrong and she’s really changed for the better.”

Zhai Sheng faced Qi Minlan calmly. “It’s good that Qiu Chenxi realized her mistake since her life is her own. But the one who should feel happy should be her future partner, not me.” Whether or not Qiu Chenxi changed for the better had nothing to do with Zhai Sheng.

As such, it was laughable that Qi Minlan was telling him such things so solemnly.

“You were husband and wife for so many years. Do you really not have any feelings for her?” Could it be Qiao Nan’s appearance that caused Zhai Sheng to be unwilling to give Chenxi a second chance? Thinking about how Qiao Nan’s existence had resulted in her daughter losing her happiness, Qi Minlan eyed Qiao Nan coldly. action

Zhai Sheng shielded Qiao Nan, no longer treating Qi Minlan amiably. “I guess Qiu Chenxi truly inherited her self-centeredness from you. She was the one at fault but she’s pushing the blame on others. Qiu Chenxi is indeed your daughter.”

If Qiu Chenxi had not cheated, the marriage would have lasted even if he had no feelings for her. There was no point in mentioning feelings. In those three years, he had never loved Qiu Chenxi. However, he was a soldier and had already been a soldier even before his marriage. Qiu Chenxi should already have considered the loneliness she would face as a military spouse even before marriage.

Qiu Chenxi could be unhappy about the marriage, but there was no way she could cheat on him or be unfaithful.

“But she’s already...”

“So what if she knows she’s wrong? Not all mistakes should be forgiven. Even if they’re forgiven, not all mistakes can be accepted. An honest person won’t do anything underhanded. In the years after our divorce, Qiu Chenxi led quite a good life, but did she visit the hospital too many times? It isn’t every day that I return to Ping Cheng after getting injured, but I just so happened to bump into her. Qiu Chenxi isn’t young anymore, so it’s best she look after her health. Don’t ruin her life just because of a moment of greed.”

Zhai Sheng’s cool tone was just short of letting Qi Minlan know directly that Qiu Chenxi had gotten all those diseases because of her wild lifestyle. As someone with such illnesses, Qiu Chenxi should know to love herself even more instead of trying to drag others down.

Qi Minlan’s face paled. “You knew?” Zhai Sheng knew all about Chenxi’s illnesses... Were the heavens really unwilling to give Chenxi a second chance?
