Rebirth: General, Don't Mess Around!

Qin Dingkang and Qin Xiu rarely met each other throughout the year. It had been almost a year and a half since the last time they met.

They were both diplomats and loved their jobs. The father and son were the same kind of people. They focused on their work and didn’t care much about their families.

Hence, it was no wonder that Madam Qin was in a hurry to arrange a blind date for Qin Xiu. She wanted him to get married as soon as possible and give birth to a grandchild for her to take care of.

It was too cold to guard such a huge house alone.

Ambassador Qin Dingkang had never interfered with his son’s marriage. To him, it was fine to let nature take its course. There was no need to force it.

Just like now, the madam was in a hurry to arrange a blind date for their son at home. Every time the married couple spoke, it would take no less than three sentences before she would change the topic to their son not cooperating with her arrangements. He even refused to attend the blind date banquet that she arranged on the grounds that he was busy with work. This made her lose her dignity.

As her husband, hearing these words made Qin Dingkang have a headache.

However, he also knew that it was not easy for his wife to be alone at home. When he asked her to come over, she said she was worried about their son, who was temporarily working at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Beijing. She insisted on finding a girlfriend for him, one that she was satisfied with. That was why she stayed back.

What was the point, however?

Was their son looking for a girlfriend or was she looking for a girlfriend? Why did she have to be satisfied with the woman? Wouldn’t it be enough if their son was satisfied?

Ambassador Qin Dingkang, who had been subjected to his wife’s complaints during every call, planned to have a good chat with his son, Qin Xiu, in his limited free time. He wanted him to comfort his mother when he returned to the country. If he had a woman he liked, he should tell his mother directly and everything would be solved.

Qin Xiu took the document and sat down. He didn’t speak immediately. Instead, he seriously checked if every page had been reviewed and signed by the ambassador.

After he finished flipping through the pages and confirmed that there were no mistakes, Qin Xiu closed the folder and smiled. ”What do you want to talk to me about?”

”Let’s have a chat. We can talk about work and personal life.” Ambassador Qin Dingkang leaned against the back of the office chair leisurely and looked at his son who was even more outstanding than him. As a father, he felt very proud. He was no longer as serious as before. There was more kindness in his eyes. ”Let’s talk about work later.

Let’s talk about your personal life first.

”You’re 27 years old this year. You’ll be turning 30 soon. You’ve made some achievements in your career. Have you considered finding a woman, getting a marriage certificate, and starting a small family for yourself?”

They had never talked about personal life. Now that they were suddenly talking about it, Qin Xiu changed into a comfortable sitting position. He calmed down for a moment before saying, ”Did you notice something? Did I expose myself so easily?”

Was he admitting that he was interested in that Chinese female soldier?

Qin Dingkang’s interest was piqued. ”It’s not obvious, but you’re my son and I’m your father. I can see some clues. Qin Xiu, I think you’re a failure. I can tell that the woman doesn’t know that you like her.

”If you like her, you have to pursue her. Tell her your feelings. It’s useless to wait for the relationship between you two to improve before bringing it up. You have to know that a good woman doesn’t have to worry about not having suitors, especially since she’s in a military unit where there are many male soldiers eyeing her. If you’re late, you might be late for life.”

After all, he was an elder. He had experienced many things, and his experience was not something young people like Qin Xiu could compare to. He hit the nail on the head and exposed the heartache of a man who was too late in pursuing the woman he loved.
