This thought inexplicably arose in his heart from the first moment he saw her at the hotel.

Later, in the guard room, when I saw her doe-like, wet, and dependent eyes, and heard her say, "I am Shen Huaichuan's wife! Shen Huaichuan is my husband!", this thought became even more persistent.

This feeling was unfamiliar... but he didn't resist it.

Hearing this, Zhou Qiqi finally felt relieved.

Shen Huaichuan also needed to get married, which perfectly matched her needs!

"Very good!"

Completely under control!

She couldn't help but exclaim happily, but Shen Huaichuan's attitude turned serious. He clenched his fists and stared intently.

Are you sure you know everything about my situation? You don't mind? You're still willing to marry me?

"I don't mind! I'm willing to marry you!"

Zhou Qiqi nodded seriously.

While at the hospital, Xu Shu explained Shen Huaichuan's family situation in detail in order to persuade her.

The Shen family is a military family with three sons, all of whom are soldiers. Shen Huaichuan is the third son.

The eldest brother, Shen Huaishan, was wounded and went missing while fighting on the border. There has been no news of him for ten years. The second brother, Shen Huaiyue, and his wife were seriously injured while on a mission three years ago and became vegetative. They are now both lying in the hospital, barely surviving with the help of machines.

For the past ten years, both Mr. and Mrs. Shen have been suffering from excessive worry and their health has deteriorated, so they have been living in a sanatorium.

Xu Shu's original words were: "Although the Shen family is a bit unlucky, Qiqi, you are also an orphan, so marrying into the family is just right! You shouldn't be cursed to death!"

Zhou Qiqi wanted to kick Xu Shu away right then and there.

He's unlucky, his whole family is unlucky!

Zhou Qiqi is a good young woman who grew up under the banner of socialism. She has a natural affinity for soldiers and not only doesn't mind them, but she also admires them.

She was about to say a few words of comfort to Shen Huaichuan when she looked up and was caught off guard by his eyes, which were filled with emotions she couldn't understand, so intense that they made her heart tremble.

"Some things need to be made clear in advance."

His tone remained cold and hard, but his voice trembled slightly, "I'm constantly on missions, you need to..."

Zhou Qiqi swung her toes, interrupting him, "You need to be mentally prepared! I'm confident! I will be a qualified military wife! An excellent..."

The word "lover" lingered on her tongue, but she didn't say it. Instead, she said, "a wonderful wife!"

This was her promise, and all she could do.

As a girl from a blended family, unloved by her father and mother, she was born without believing in love.

Isn't marriage just about two people living together?

She could promise to fulfill her duties as a wife, but the word "lover" was too unrealistic for her.

But she is willing to be a qualified military wife, an excellent wife, and a relative without blood ties.

Shen Huaichuan should have been happy to hear her words, but for some reason, a sharp pain suddenly welled up in his heart.

Not wanting to be noticed, he turned around and poured himself a glass of water.

But then I heard a deafening "coo coo coo" sound coming from behind me.
