Shen Jichuan frowned subconsciously. He always felt that he was paying too much attention to Wen Qiao.
He then said in a calm and distant voice, "I'll do it myself."
But then, as if possessed, he blurted out something.
"You got married to me, so you're my wife in name only. You take care of me, what's there to complain about?"
Wen Qiao was completely speechless at those words.
He was the one who said that getting the marriage certificate was just for show and that they would never become husband and wife.
Now he's the one bringing up their marital status again.
This man's heart is truly hard to fathom.
He pushed Wen Qiao away, wanting to get up and walk by himself. Perhaps because he had been standing for too long, he almost fell when he moved.
Wen Qiao quickly grabbed his arm.
The woman's supple body made him frown.
He tried to shake her off, but she held him firmly with a serious expression.
Wen Qiaoxiu frowned and muttered softly:
"How old are you? Still acting tough. Didn't you say you're old enough to be my uncle? So why are you complaining about me taking care of you, your junior?"
"Otherwise, we're just a couple in name only, and it's no big deal for me to take care of you. You're really something, why do you always have to be so stubborn?"
Shen Jichuan didn't say anything more and let Wen Qiao help him back to the house.
I wonder if he misunderstood.
Is Wen Qiao showing concern for him?
It seems he never received any care as a child, so naturally he doesn't know how to care for others.
Even now, he couldn't tell whether Wen Qiao's concern for her was genuine or just feigned care.
It can only be said that he never possessed it and couldn't distinguish between the real and the fake.
Or perhaps Wen Qiao's scheming was too deep, too well hidden, which confused him.
"Go out."
After lying down on the bed, Shen Jichuan's cold voice rang out, indifferently telling Wen Qiao to leave.
Wen Qiao wasn't angry at all, she just hummed in agreement, but quickly brought Shen Jichuan a glass of water.
Shen Jichuan stared at the plain water beside his bed, lost in thought.
His adopted son, whom he treated like his own, had grown up by his side for so long, yet he had never taken such good care of him.
On the contrary, his indifference made Shen Haiyang feel that he was a very unqualified father.
He adopted Shen Haiyang because he felt sorry for him; he was an orphan without parents.
But he certainly didn't give Shen Haiyang much care or protection.
Like when Shen Haiyang was seventeen or eighteen years old.
Because of his mistake, he beat him up. In his anger, Shen Haiyang impulsively shouted those words at him.
“You’re only strict with me. Do you know what fatherly love is? You just raised me, but you never loved me or even cared about me. You’re not even as good to me as Sister Ling.”
After delivering the boiled water, Wen Qiao never came back.
Shen Jichuan felt that something was not quite right.
He wasn't that desperate for love; a simple act of concern from Wen Qiao was enough to move him to pity.
Wen Qiao packed her clothes and went downstairs to leave.
I happened to run into Wang Zhihui, who was mopping the floor.
Wang Zhihui remained as well-behaved as ever.
But when she saw Wen Qiao packing her things to leave, and having just learned from the nanny, Sister Ling...
Wen Qiao came to the Shen family with a marriage certificate for her child.
Wang Zhihui was worried that Wen Qiao had gone to find Shen Haiyang.
She tentatively asked, "Sister Wen Qiao, what are you going to do?"
Wen Qiao frowned. "I heard what you were saying just now. You're in your early twenties, and I'm not even twenty yet. You don't need to call me 'sister.' Just call me Wen Qiao."
"Okay, Wen Qiao."
"Do you live in a room upstairs? It seems Uncle Shen is really good to you. He must dote on Haiyang to let you live on the second floor. Unlike me, I can only stay with Sister Ling for the time being. I must be too much of a burden..."
Wen Qiao said, "You should talk to Uncle Shen about this, it's none of my business."
After saying that, Wen Qiao turned around and left; she didn't like Wang Zhihui.
They had only just met and were not familiar with each other, so why was she so hostile towards her?
Perhaps because of her rebirth, Wen Qiao is very sensitive to people she doesn't like or who are malicious towards her.
If I intuitively dislike someone, I don't want to have much contact with them.
