Wen Qiao still went out and made a phone call to Shen Jichuan.
She called the Shen family first, but no one answered.
Wen Qiao hesitated for a moment, then called Shen Jichuan's workplace, but no one answered.
Wen Qiao then remembered what Shen Jichuan had told her before he came: he had to go back to the army today because there was a meeting to attend.
Realizing that Shen Jichuan was busy, Wen Qiao hung up the phone.
Before Shen Jichuan's secretary could answer the phone, it was disconnected.

Wen Qiao returned to her room at the guesthouse, where Lü Yazhi was looking worried.
She had previously thought that Wen Qiao was going to marry Shen Haiyang, who was the son of the Shen family, but he was just an adopted son.
In addition, Xiao Qiao and Hai Yang were betrothed since childhood.
They weren't too far apart in terms of social standing.
At least, Lü Yazhi felt that having been betrothed since childhood made no difference to her.
Compared to suddenly marrying someone whose social status is vastly different from theirs, Lü Yazhi would naturally find the former more acceptable.
But since things had come to this point, she had no choice but to accept it.
When Mr. Shen said he wanted to marry Wen Qiao, his eyes were quite serious, and he seemed very confident.
Lu Yazhi is worried that if her daughter marries into the Shen family, who are rich and powerful, they might look down on Xiao Qiao.
"Did you make the call?" Lü Yazhi asked.
“I called, but no one answered. The Shen family has a nanny, but she's probably gone back to the old house. I called his workplace, but I figured he'd be in a meeting, so I hung up.”
"Let's play again tomorrow."
Lu Yazhi thought about it and realized that he was a high-ranking leader. How could he be like them, treating every little thing as if the sky were falling?
When they went to bed that night, Lü Yazhi pulled Wen Qiao aside and talked to her for a long time.
Actually, it all boils down to just a few questions. Ask Wen Qiao, "Have you thought this through?"
You have to bear the consequences of the life you've chosen for yourself, no matter what the outcome.
Wen Qiao knew her mother was worried about her, so she hummed in response and said nothing more.
In her past life, her mother couldn't protect her.
She failed to protect her mother.
In this life, Wen Qiao wants to be a good child who is filial to her mother. As for men, she doesn't intend to focus solely on matters between men and women.
The next morning, before Wen Qiao could contact Shen Jichuan, he arrived on his own.
She didn't know when they arrived. When she walked over, she saw a pile of cigarette butts outside where the car was parked.
Wen Qiao frowned.
"You've arrived?"
Shen Jichuan opened the car door, his voice a little hoarse, "Come in and talk."
Wen Qiao opened the passenger door and sat down. There was a faint smell of smoke in the car, indicating that he had been smoking with the window open.
"What was your mother's reaction? Did she not approve of us being together?"
Wen Qiao raised her eyes to look at Shen Jichuan.
“My mom’s objection isn’t because she dislikes you; it’s because she’s worried I can’t handle you. She says I’m too young, while you’re steady and mature. What if you’re just playing with me? Wouldn’t I be in big trouble?”
Shen Jichuan's lips curled up slightly, a faint smile playing on his lips.
"Won't."
“I told your mother that I will make a will after our wedding. If I die, everything in my name will be yours. If I die before you, you can take the inheritance I give you and remarry as you please…”
Wen Qiao deliberately said, "Really? Then I'll take more."
Shen Jichuan reached out and gently stroked her hair.
