Military husband hasn't returned home for two years? He reads his daughter's heartfelt wor

Chapter 190 All-Round Gathering

At the entrance of Quanjuxian, Li Wanqing and Nuonuo looked up at the gilded signboard, their anticipation growing stronger.

Before coming to Taipei, Li Wanqing had asked around.

The best roast duck in Taipei is undoubtedly Quanjuxian, a century-old roast duck restaurant that has remained a thriving business even when the economy was not yet fully developed.

Nono tugged at her mother's clothes, her little eyes blinking, looking incredibly cute.

"Mom, are we really eating here?"

Li Wanqing nodded. "Of course, come on, Mom will take you inside."

As the mother and daughter walked inside, a sharp sound came from the side before they even stepped inside.

"Quanjuxian is not accepting outside guests today!"

Li Wanqing frowned slightly. "I've never heard of such a thing as opening a shop for business."

As she spoke, Li Wanqing looked at the waiter at the door, who also looked embarrassed.

Zhao Qingyao glared angrily at Li Wanqing, "What do you know, you country bumpkin?"

"I've booked the entire Quanjuxian restaurant today; no unauthorized personnel are allowed in."

The waiter said in a low voice, "Sir, I didn't receive any notification. Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

Zhao Qingyao looked slightly embarrassed and offered a forced explanation: "I was just about to go in and talk, anyway, we can't let anyone else in."

Li Wanqing raised an eyebrow slightly. This girl was probably a spoiled child from her family, and she couldn't be bothered to argue with her.

Nuonuo tugged at Li Wanqing's hand, "Mommy, can we go inside to eat?"

Li Wanqing nodded. "Of course."

Zhao Qingyao was furious. "Why can't you understand me? I told you I'm booking this place for today."

Li Wanqing glanced at her indifferently, "Since you haven't reached an agreement with the owner here yet, I have the right to go in."

Zhao Qingyao choked. It was just a spur-of-the-moment idea; she only meant to scare people.

The old man said he would introduce her to a good man, but she just didn't want someone prettier than her to appear and ruin her plans.

She's been divorced for three years. If she doesn't remarry soon, that jerk will probably talk behind her back.

Li Wanqing led Nuonuo inside, and the waiter warmly welcomed them in.

Zhao Qingyao stomped her foot, her face full of displeasure.

"Ayao!"

Zhao Shuyu saw his daughter waiting at the door and shouted happily.

Zhao Qingyao immediately complained about what had just happened, and Zhao Shuyu frowned, "This was originally your fault."

He was an old revolutionary, and he hated this kind of unreasonable behavior the most.

"We're here to eat, and so are they. Besides, our family isn't at the point where we can book the whole restaurant."

Zhao Shuyu snorted coldly. His daughter's behavior had become increasingly outrageous in recent years.

Especially in the two years after his rehabilitation.

Because of him, Ayao had a very unhappy life in her husband's family back then, and even the divorce was because of him, which is why he always went along with her.

Unexpectedly, this fostered her competitive personality.

Zhao Qingyao didn't want to listen to her father's nagging, so she craned her neck to look behind him.

"Dad, where is he?" Zhao Qingyao asked, her face pale.

Zhao Shuyu sighed, "They're still in closed-door training; they can't get out at all."

Zhao Qingyao put on a stern face, "Can't you come out, or do you not want to come out?"

"Isn't he supposed to be going to Taipei Military Science and Technology University?" Zhao Qingyao said, arms crossed. "Since he's being so disrespectful, let's just prevent him from getting in."

"Nonsense!" Zhao Shuyu's eyebrows furrowed. "How dare you say such a thing?"

After his rehabilitation, he was assigned to teach weapons knowledge at the Taipei Military Science and Technology University. During this national military competition, he immediately took a liking to an officer.

I originally planned to introduce her to my daughter, which would be a win-win situation, but I never expected this...

"Sigh!" Zhao Shuyu sighed. "Don't ask about Xiao Cheng anymore. Dad will introduce you to other people."

Zhao Qingyao was slightly taken aback, then curled her lips into a smirk, "Why?"

That guy surnamed Cheng is the first place winner in the National Military Skills Competition. That's pretty impressive.

If it weren't for that reputation, why would she want to find a soldier?

"Xiao Cheng is already married, so there's no chance for you two." Zhao Shuyu said with regret, but alas, things just turned out this way by chance.

I thought that soldiers are easygoing and that he probably didn't mind that his daughter was divorced, but it turns out she was already married.

Thinking about his recent encounter with Xiao Cheng, he felt incredibly embarrassed.

Zhao Qingyao was a little dazed. She had come here full of joy to see the person, but now not only could she not see him, but he was already taken!

Where can she save face now?

I should have known better than to brag about it at work a few days ago.

"Dad, what should I do?" Zhao Qingyao panicked a little. If that damned man found out, he would laugh at her to death!

Zhao Shuyu doted on his daughter, and seeing her like this, he felt very sorry for her.

"How about this, I'll pick another one for you?"

Anyway, Taipei Military Academy has many outstanding soldiers, so there's no need for them to cling to one particular tree.

"No way!" Zhao Qingyao frowned, extremely unwilling. "I've already said what I wanted to say. If they change the person, where will I put my face?"

Especially that damned Zhang Yuan, he's just waiting to see her make a fool of herself.

Zhao Shuyu's face fell. "Nonsense! This isn't even settled yet, why are you spreading rumors outside?"

Zhao Qingyao shook his arm and said coquettishly, "Dad, I've already told you, so please help me."

"How can we help?" Zhao Shuyu said irritably. "He's a soldier, so it's a military marriage. Who would dare to mess around?"

Zhao Qingyao pouted, seemingly unconcerned.

But she knew her father was a man of rules and principles, and if she said anything more, she would definitely get scolded.

Zhao Qingyao's eyes darted around. "If you don't want to help, then don't. But I still want to see him."

Seeing that his daughter's tone had softened, Zhao Shuyu breathed a slight sigh of relief. "It's definitely not possible right now. We'll have to wait at least two days until after the exams."

Zhao Qingyao's eyes flickered slightly, but she didn't say anything more.

An officer who rose through the ranks from humble beginnings would likely have a wife who was considered lowly and undesirable in the countryside.

As long as she sees someone and gives them a slight reminder... smart people will know what to choose.

"Let's skip dinner and head back," Zhao Shuyu said.

Zhao Qingyao frowned. "Dad, even if we can't see him, he still needs to eat, right?"

She hasn't been to Quanjuxian for a while.

And the thought of that country bumpkin mother and daughter made her even angrier.

She wanted to see how pathetic this country bumpkin would look when he couldn't pay for his meal and was kicked out.

Zhao Shuyu shook his head. "Let's skip it today. Your Uncle Meng just called and said his niece is coming to Beishi. We'll come here to welcome her."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Qingyao's expression became even more displeased.

"Where did Uncle Meng get this niece? Is she some kind of freeloader?"

Zhao Shuyu's brow remained furrowed. "We'll see when the time comes."

Old Meng is easily swayed; he might actually have been deceived.
