Shen Jichuan looked at the noodles Li Ling brought over; they were excessively bland. He neither said he liked them nor disliked them.
For him, food was simply something that could fill his stomach.
After Li Ling left, Shen Jichuan finished his noodles and was about to open the door and call someone to take away the empty bowls and chopsticks.
Hearing strange noises coming from the second-floor bathroom, he didn't intend to peek, but while observing, he caught sight of a slender waist as white as snow.
He could see clearly through the thin shirt; though it was just a fleeting glimpse, he saw it distinctly.
Wen Qiao saw that Shen Jichuan had returned to his room, and Li Ling also went downstairs.
Without Shen Jichuan's orders, Li Ling rarely came up to the second floor.
After she changed her clothes in the room, she was about to go to the bathroom when she saw Li Ling come up.
She went to the bathroom after Li Ling went downstairs and Shen Jichuan went back to his room to eat noodles.
I used ointment on the burn on my arm.
She accidentally scraped her skin while changing clothes, and it hurt terribly.
She went to the bathroom and rinsed herself with cold water.
My clothes got completely soaked.
Wen Qiao didn't even notice Shen Jichuan opening the door and coming out. She turned around and went outside, her clothes sticking wetly to her chest.
Especially the body, which had already begun to develop, immediately showed its outline.
Wen Qiao calmly reached out and blocked it.
She was also afraid that Shen Jichuan would misunderstand and think she had used the second-floor bathroom.
She said, "I just rinsed it with cold water, and I'm clean now."
Shen Jichuan hummed in agreement. "Whatever you say."
What did that mean? Wen Qiao was too lazy to think about it.
Her burns really hurt; she just rinsed them with cold water.
It only provided temporary relief; the pain returned afterward.
She felt extremely uncomfortable and just wanted to go back to her room and lie down.
Shen Jichuan looked at Wen Qiao, who looked like a sick chicken, and it was rare to see her so weak.
Shen Jichuan carried the tray downstairs and went to check on Shen Haiyang.
Shen Haiyang was lying in bed when Wang Zhihui brought him some cut fruit into his room and kept trying to find topics to talk about with him.
Unfortunately, Shen Haiyang had no feelings for her.
Upon seeing Shen Jichuan standing at the door, Shen Haiyang immediately got up.
"Dad, I just heard from Sister Ling that you're back and that she even got me some anti-inflammatory medicine."
"That anti-inflammatory medicine is very rare, thank you so much, Dad."
Shen Jichuan said, "Why are you being so polite with me? You did a great job this time. You'll be going to the company in September, so keep up the good work then."
"I know, I will."
Shen Jichuan's mind was a bit of a mess right now, with Wen Qiao's half-snow-white, slender waist constantly flashing through his mind.
Suddenly, the scene of Wen Qiao taking the initiative to approach him and making advances inappropriately reminded him of something.
It became increasingly clear in his mind.
Shen Jichuan didn't hear Shen Haiyang say that he and Yang Xuelan were already together.
He said a few words of concern, then turned and left.
After Shen Jichuan left, Wang Zhihui obediently and sensibly went to Shen Haiyang and took care of him.
"Brother Haiyang, Uncle Shen is so good to you."
"But Uncle Shen loves you so much, why does he still keep Wen Qiao at home?"
Wang Zhihui knew that Shen Haiyang had a boyfriend.
Her boyfriend's father, like Shen Jichuan, held a high position, which she couldn't afford to offend.
She and Shen Haiyang have only just started dating, so Shen Haiyang definitely can't see her thoughtfulness and kindness.
These things need to be done gradually.
She is the daughter of Uncle Shen's comrade-in-arms, and can live in Uncle Shen's house.
Who is Ke Wenqiao? What right does she have to live in Uncle Shen's house?
Hearing Wang Zhihui's words.
Shen Haiyang's eyes were full of disgust and loathing for Wen Qiao.
My father and Wen Qiao got their marriage certificate.
But not many people know they are married.
As long as Wen Qiao makes a mistake, her father has a reason to kick her out.
Shen Haiyang hated Wen Qiao, who relentlessly pursued him and, after failing to win him over, resorted to the underhanded tactic of marrying his father in an attempt to get revenge.
"My father is kind; he just felt sorry for her."
"And what about you, Haiyang? Wen Qiao is quite pretty, don't you like her at all?"
Wang Zhihui deliberately asked Wang Haiyang this probing question.
Shen Haiyang said with a look of disgust, "You only see that she's pretty, you haven't seen how scheming she is. She'll stop at nothing to achieve her goals."
To this day, he still doesn't know how Wen Qiao convinced her father to marry her.
The thought of Wen Qiao making him call her "Mom" made Shen Haiyang want to kill Wen Qiao.
To calm himself down, Shen Jichuan didn't even stay home for his lunch break. After talking to Shen Haiyang, he went upstairs.
Then he went to the army.
He didn't even change his clothes before going upstairs.
He didn't know why he had to go upstairs unnecessarily.
After leaving the house, he smoked a cigarette, feeling frustrated.
It just so happened that Li Meilan, the wife of Director Zhou of the Political Department, saw it.
"Deputy Division Commander Shen, are you off to work again so early in the morning?"
Li Meilan has to go to school, so she doesn't have much time for a lunch break.
Unexpectedly, I happened to see the very busy Shen Jichuan.
It has to be said that you really don't run into each other very often in this same compound.
Shen Jichuan nodded.
Li Meilan came over and asked, "We have a young English teacher who was transferred from Shanghai to our school. She's very beautiful. Do you want to meet her? You know, Lao Zhou always asks me if I know any suitable candidates so I can keep an eye out for you."
Shen Jichuan frowned. "No need, sister-in-law."
Hearing that Li Meilan was still arranging blind dates for him, it seemed that Lao Zhou was truly keeping his mouth shut.
They didn't tell anyone about her marriage.
He didn't even mention his own wife.
“Deputy Division Commander Shen, do you really think you have to make such a huge sacrifice for an adopted son? It's one thing to not want the child yourself, but you also want to find a partner? After he gets married and moves out, you'll be all alone at home. How lonely and pitiful that will be!”
Shen Jichuan was not good at dealing with these things, so he just gave a curt "hmm".
Li Meilan seemed to suddenly remember something.
He asked, "Deputy Division Commander Shen, your cousin's daughter is quite pretty and not very old. My second son just came back from being sent to the countryside, and I'm thinking of finding him a well-behaved girl. To be honest, I've taken a liking to your cousin's daughter."
