Seeing Zhou Family Members Again_5 Chuxia’s face instantly flushed red!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing her parents’ temperament, if they brought her two buns, then they definitely saved their own share for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were not the kind of people to take advantage of others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for why both spouses brought them, it was simple, neither wanted the other to go hungry, so they secretly saved some food for their daughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Chuxia’s discomfort, Li Aiyuan laughed and said, “Xia, there’s nothing to be embarrassed about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your parents are happy seeing you full.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Yushan also smiled, “Xia, you can tell how much we care, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your eldest maternal aunt and I didn’t save any food for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Big brother, big sister, stop teasing us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We’re just used to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We always feel like Xia isn’t getting enough to eat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Yushan couldn’t help but say, “She’s here to be a soldier, not to serve a sentence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How can she not be well-fed?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’re just worrying over nothing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The family was chatting and laughing when Zhou Mikang arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After greeting everyone, Zhou Mikang shared the day’s itinerary: a morning tour downtown followed by lunch at the Zhou family home, where both parents would meet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Um, wait a moment.” Being gazed at by several elders, Chuxia had to step forward, “My dad, my mom, my eldest maternal uncle, and aunt have a question that needs your answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ve explained it already, but they didn’t believe it, so you should speak for yourself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What’s the matter?” Zhou Mikang looked at the elders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Zhao Yulan was about to speak, Lin Baohe waved her off and said, “Regimental Commander Zhou…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he began, Zhou Mikang froze, alarmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just one night, and the formal title had returned?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, from his experience, such a formal address meant they were doubting him again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, the words that followed confirmed his suspicions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…We’ve seen your qualifications, and although we don’t know about your family situation, we can guess it must be decent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s truly a stretch for our Chuxia to marry into your family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, our Chuxia, she’s the treasure of the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’s grown up without hardships.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she were to marry into your family and the care isn’t adequate, it might upset your parents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The key point is, she’s still a child herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she has to take care of children, she probably won’t manage very well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Look, Regimental Commander, I’ll speak frankly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your excellent qualifications likely mean you’ve been married before, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We can accept that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, if there are children involved, that is absolutely unacceptable for us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if we could keep Chuxia from joining the army, we can’t let her play stepmother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This child is truly not capable of that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regimental Commander, you’re a high-ranking officer, and I trust you won’t deceive us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The child spoke highly of you yesterday, guaranteeing that you’ve never been married nor had kids.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the information we received was different from what she said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I believe you, and I’ll take your word for it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Baohe in his lifetime has probably never spoken such a long speech before, but for his daughter’s sake, he suddenly became very articulate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Mikang’s face was indescribable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had never expected to cause such a mismatch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Married already, and kids too…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would his parents even be anxious if that were the case?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With grandchildren, would they still be so worried?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His parents’ concern was his lack of children, fearing he might never marry and have kids, which is why they were so attentive to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he already had kids, they wouldn’t bother so much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>— Commander Tongzi, are you sure?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dad, Mom, honestly…, I never expected to create such a misunderstanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can assure you, I’ve never been married, nor do I have children.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Marrying Chuxia would be my first marriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Absolutely my first marriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there’s something I need to clarify with you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, I was engaged, but for some reasons, the arrangement was eventually called off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I put my personal honor on the line to guarantee that what I’m saying is the truth.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he mentioned “but,” the elders’ faces changed color.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After he finished, they finally relaxed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then I’m relieved, Xiao Zhou, don’t mind our meddling, but…” Zhao Yulan gave a sheepish smile, “mainly because we have just this one daughter, we never thought of gaining any advantage by reaching for the high branches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We just want Chuxia to be cherished and comfortable, hehe…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, yes, Xiao Zhou, don’t think we’re too anxious, it really is…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it really is…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m just not good enough for him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her eldest maternal aunt struggle with the word “really,” Chuxia couldn’t help but secretly scoff.\u003C\u002Fp>",796,"2026-06-09T05:49:29.943Z",1,"novelbin.me","c0daf1cf2d81d16be3b9fc268a97facb42afb47a95d2d811e741a9425666dc11","reborn-in-the-70s-pampered-by-regiment-commander-chapter-164","reborn-in-the-70s-pampered-by-regiment-commander-chapter-162",1528,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-in-the-70s-pampered-by-regiment-commander-cover.jpg"]
