After a pause, he asked Wen Qiao, "How did Commander Shen win you over and make you marry him?"

Wen Qiao didn't expect Zhao Qingzhou to ask about this. She thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's because he takes care of her in every little detail and thinks of her best interests."

When Wen Qiao got home from get off work, she mentioned to Shen Jichuan the question Zhao Qingzhou had asked her at work.

While she was busy, she asked Shen Jichuan questions.

"What exactly did you do to convince me to marry you?"

Shen Jichuan turned to look at Wen Qiao and said, "Marrying me wasn't because I did anything to move you, it was because you wanted to get revenge on me. Have you forgotten how you seduced me, Wen Qiao!"

He reached out and closed the kitchen door, then pulled Wen Qiao into his arms around her waist.

"It's still the same as before..."

She could be seduced by Wen Qiao with the same ease.

He vaguely remembered that he, who was never infatuated with women, would always have wild fantasies whenever he saw a bathroom that she had used.

Thinking of her young, youthful body, so soft and fair...

And the reality was just as he had imagined, even more captivating and wonderful than he had imagined.

Wen Qiao reached out and pried his hands away. "We've been married for so many years, why do you still like to be all lovey-dovey?"

She chuckled softly, clearly enjoying the sweetness that was uniquely between her and Shen Jichuan.

"When I reach my twilight years, if I'm still like this, please don't despise me."

Wen Qiao said softly, "No, it won't happen."

Wen Qiao never expected that a question from Zhao Qingzhou would stir up memories from many years ago, and that night, in their private space, they enjoyed endless bliss.

Wen Qiao felt that marrying Shen Jichuan in this lifetime was very worthwhile.

He had fine wrinkles around his eyes and brows, but his charm remained undiminished.

Zhao Qingzhou eventually borrowed Liang Qing from Wen Qiao. Liang Qing still had to go on a business trip the day before her departure, and she still had to go with Zhao Qingzhou.

Of course, it wasn't Wen Qiao who kept this from Liang Qing, but Zhao Qingzhou.

Zhao Qingzhou was his superior, and since he wanted to use a little bit of his authority without causing any harm, Wen Qiao couldn't really take it seriously and deliberately talk to Liang Qing about it.

Before setting off, Wen Qiao made a point of giving instructions.

"This task was personally selected by Director Zhao. He said that since you have no experience going abroad, this trip will allow you to experience the local language environment and also to meet more people and things."

"If there's anything you don't understand, keep in touch with me, or you can ask Director Zhao directly. After all, I was trained by him."

"Liang Qing, you are capable, but your vision is always focused on your relationship with Director Zhao, which will affect your development. Don't think that just because you're not together yet, he shouldn't have any influence on you. Even if you get together in the future, you should know whether a man is more important or your work?"

"Don't let men affect your work."

Liang Qing stared at Wen Qiao with wide eyes; she was truly admiring Wen Qiao more and more.

In fact, it wasn't just her; everyone in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, except for those in the Information Department, admired Wen Qiao.

Some people say she's amazing because she married a military commander.

Some people say she has strong professional skills.

Regardless of whether it's admiration or envy, it's still admiration.
