Daddy Always Gets Jealous

Chapter 1679: Chapter 1696: Southern Tall Tree (9)

Qiao Qiao lay there listening, her face growing increasingly pale, and she smiled lightly, interrupting her, ”Mom, haven’t people always said I’m just like you?”

Ci Wan, ”...”

Qiao Qiao lowered her voice a bit, ”My dad is already dead, and besides, my surname isn’t Jiang. No matter how bad my reputation is, what’s it got to do with the Jiang Family?”

Ci Wan, ”You...”

Before she could make a sound, Qiao Qiao hung up the phone.

Fool!

Did she think that woman calling would care about her?

Since Dad died, she became a piece of floating wild grass, drifting for many years.

All these years of mutual harm, her mother probably hates her to death, how could she care about her?

Idiot!

She cursed herself in her heart, picked up the novel beside her, and continued reading.

...

The next day, another day of formation practice led to Qiao Qiao’s night patrol.

She was alone, dressed in camouflage, walking around the campus, seeing quite a few ”rookies” patrolling at night just like her.

Sophomore, junior, and senior students continually cast glances at them.

Though Qiao Qiao had a strong mentality, she couldn’t help but feel somewhat awkward.

She patrolled a lap and arrived at the playground.

She saw Instructor Qin playing basketball with other instructors.

Qin Shaonan was wearing a white basketball uniform, dribbling, rising, and shooting under the night sky—a series of actions forming a perfect arc.

Qiao Qiao stood there, unable to make a sound.

Meanwhile, a group of instructors played basketball enthusiastically.

Qiao Qiao stood there, her gaze fixed on Qin Shaonan.

Every move, every shot of his seemed etched into her eyes.

Until halftime, Qin Shaonan, wiping sweat from his face and body with the collar of his jersey, walked to the side, unscrewed a bottle of mineral water, took a sip, and looked up to see Qiao Qiao standing there in a daze.

Meeting Instructor Qin’s gaze, Qiao Qiao quickly snapped out of it, ”Reporting to the instructor, I’m on night patrol.”

Qin Shaonan nodded without saying a word, walked to the side, and sat down to rest.

Other instructors came over, sitting beside Qin Shaonan, full of curiosity and respect, ”Instructor Qin, which unit are you from? Why hadn’t we seen you before?”

Qin Shaonan looked at them, ”I’m from over at the Donggang Military District.”

Upon hearing Donggang, thinking about the insignia on Instructor Qin’s shoulders the first time they saw him, they never expected an officer with a title would come to train the college freshmen.

They chatted in bits and pieces; Qin Shaonan sat there, particularly silent, not participating.

If it weren’t for the fighter jet accident, he wouldn’t naturally be here.

Thinking about this, he stood up, walked to the side, and called Huo Jinnan, ”Has your father or grandfather given an explanation?”

Huo Jinnan, ”I’ve almost got the evidence in my hands.”

Qin Shaonan, ”Alright, I’ll wait for your call with the news. After the training is over, I may need a break.”

...

Ending the call, he turned around and saw Qiao Qiao not far away, ”Come over.”

Qiao Qiao immediately ran over.

Qin Shaonan’s gaze fell on Qiao Qiao, ”Only patrolling the playground?”

Qiao Qiao, ”...”

Yes, why did she come over here?

If others saw her, there would be gossip again.

Qin Shaonan, ”Go patrol somewhere else.”

Qiao Qiao, ”Yes, instructor.”

Qiao Qiao walked away.

Standing there, Qin Shaonan could hear the sound of young instructors whistling at Qiao Qiao.

”Hey, girl, what’s your name?”

”Come over here, give us a nice parade step.”

...

Qiao Qiao quickly ran away.

Returning to the group, Qin Shaonan thought of the inappropriate comments.

”That girl is really pretty, and her backside is curvy.”
