Rebirth to a Military Marriage: Good Morning Chief

Chapter 2068: It Seems Like It

She felt that it was better to use those products fresh. As such, she did not purchase too many of them and only bought a two-month supply. She had no idea when Qiao Nan’s period started. That was why she had only thought about it now that September was approaching. Qiao Nan should have run out of the products that she had purchased, right?

The auntie was slightly older than Qiao Nan and much younger than Miao Jing. As such, the auntie still experienced her period every month. As for Miao Jing, that had not happened in almost two decades. This meant that the auntie was used to not needing to prepare such products for anyone else in the family.

That was why this had completely slipped her mind after Qiao Nan had joined the family. Now, she would have to pay more attention to this area.

It did not matter if she did not remember it, but it did not make sense for Qiao Nan herself not to remember it. If she had indeed finished that supply, Qiao Nan would probably have purchased some more for herself. Yet, the auntie had not seen Qiao Nan purchase any for herself even after all this time.

“Oh, that. I still have them. A lot of them...” Qiao Nan replied to the auntie without hesitation. She knew that the auntie was the one who stocked up on any necessities in their family. As such, she simply thought that the auntie was asking about that to understand what she needed to purchase. “I still have quite a few of them in my bathroom. I don’t really use them...”

Uh...

These three months had passed in such a blur that Qiao Nan had not even noticed that her period had not come in those three months. Because she was juggling so many courses, signed up for an examination, and had to revise for so many different things, Qiao Nan had even needed to stay up through the night at times.

Although Qiao Nan yearned for knowledge, she had left the school setting more than two decades ago. Now, pouring her whole heart and soul into learning was not difficult, but being as efficient as she had been when she was younger was impossible. In that case, she had to put in even more effort to make up for her regrets.

Qiao Nan already had the habit of neglecting herself due to her studies. Because her studies were even more difficult in reality than they had been in her dream, Qiao Nan was naturally even more devoted so as to not make any mistakes.

In the three months of marriage to Zhai Sheng after returning to the capital, Qiao Nan had not even had time to think about her husband apart from those few minutes before sleeping, much less remember which day her period was supposed to start.

Qiao Nan was the one who had asked for Zhai Sheng’s number, but Zhai Sheng was the one waiting for Qiao Nan to call him. Who would have known that Qiao Nan would be so busy that she would not even have any spare time to call him? Apart from her studies, there was nothing else that she needed Zhai Sheng to make decisions on.

Since Zhai Sheng was already busy in the military, there was no need for her to add to his troubles by calling him.

It would be a joke to ask a woman, who could not even care about her husband, how many times she had her period in the last three months or how much supply of sanitary pads she had left.

If not for the fact that Qiao Nan spent some time studying at home and saw the sanitary napkins every time she used the toilet, Qiao Nan might very well have forgotten about its existence, less say the quantity she had left.

There were some things that seemed crystal clear once one thought about them.

Qiao Nan looked down at her stomach blankly. Her body was much weaker now than it had been in her dream, but it was still normal. Her period did come every time and she did not experience extreme pain like others did when theirs came. Based on that, there were only two possible reasons why her period had become irregular.

Firstly, there was something majorly wrong with her body and she had contracted a severe illness.

Secondly, it still concerned a person’s life. The difference was that it was not that she was going to die. Quite on the contrary, there was a new life within her...

“Have you really not used it? You’ve not had your period even once in the three months you’ve been in the capital?” The auntie was highly suspicious upon hearing that.

“Huh? Huh!” Miao Jing blinked blankly, not understanding the conversation between Qiao Nan and the auntie. She was someone who had already undergone menopause twenty years ago, after all. But in no time, Miao Jing caught on. “Nan Nan, have you really not gotten your period?” In an instant, Miao Jing’s eyes widened as wide as saucers as she stared at Qiao Nan’s stomach.

“I think so...” Qiao Nan answered in a daze.

When the auntie and her mother-in-law had asked if she was feeling unwell earlier, Qiao Nan had answered that the weather had been too hot and that she had been feeling a little faint. Now, Qiao Nan’s eyes rolled upward as her whole body weakened and fell limply onto the sofa. She had fainted for real!

Zhai Sheng had not informed anyone in the family that he was returning, planning on giving his wife a surprise by making a sudden appearance, just like those young soldiers did. What caught Zhai Sheng off guard was his mom frantically calling his wife’s name before he could even make his presence known.

Zhai Sheng’s expression sank and he could not care less about giving anyone a surprise anymore. He rushed into the house with his shoes still on. “What’s wrong with Nan Nan?”

“Zhai Sheng, you’re back? That’s just as well. Nan Nan just fainted. Hurry and send her to the hospital.” Nan Nan could be pregnant. At this time, nothing could happen to Nan Nan or the child!

In reality, the tall and muscular Zhai Sheng had already seen Qiao Nan lying limply on the sofa as he walked over. Without needing Miao Jing’s instructions, he carried Qiao Nan into his arms immediately. “Mom, stay at home. Auntie, follow me to the hospital.”

Because Qiao Nan had fainted, Zhai Sheng was afraid that he would not be able to take care of Qiao Nan alone and thus asked the auntie to come along.

“No way. I’m Nan Nan’s mother-in-law! I have to go!” She would never be able to rest assured if she did not go along with them. Even if she were to stay at home, her heart would be with Nan Nan in the hospital. She had to personally hear from the doctor about Nan Nan’s condition and whether she was indeed pregnant.

More importantly, Miao Jing insisted that she needed to hear the good news immediately if she were truly to become a grandmother.

Zhai Sheng did not know why his mom was being so insistent. If he had not been in a hurry to send Qiao Nan to the hospital, he would have reasoned it out with his mom. Considering his mother’s age, would it not be better and more helpful for her to remain at home?
