"So you're Commander Shen's wife? When did you get married?"
"We just got married a little over a month ago."
Zhou Qiqi answered with a smile. Director Li liked it more and more as he looked at her, and shook his head inwardly.
"No wonder he doesn't like my daughter. She's inferior to him in every way."
