"You're such a good girl, I'd be willing to give you everything."
Wen Qiao chuckled softly. She asked Shen Jichuan about his family, such as his parents...
Shen Jichuan, who had been perfectly fine, suddenly said in a cold voice, "My affairs are none of the people at the old mansion's business."
"Wen Qiao, it's our marriage. No one can interfere with us, as long as you're willing."
Wen Qiao wanted to tell him that her mother wanted to meet Shen Jichuan's parents, but seeing his cold expression, she knew that they couldn't continue the conversation.
Fortunately, she didn't really fall in love with Shen Jichuan. Otherwise, she would definitely have started to overthink things because of his behavior of marrying a wife but not bringing her home to meet his parents.
Wen Qiao nodded obediently.
"Okay, I understand."
"I might have to stay out for the next few days, so I need to rent a place for my mom."
Shen Jichuan said, "Why don't we go home first? If you feel uncomfortable having your mother at home, I can stay in the army dormitory for the next few days."
Wen Qiao still refused.
"Never mind, my mom wants to rent a place outside."
“Wen Qiao, I have an old house. If you don’t mind, you can bring your mother to live there.”
"The house is a bit dilapidated and hasn't been maintained for many years."
Wen Qiao said, "Then it's considered rented by me..."
Before Wen Qiao could finish speaking, Shen Jichuan held the back of her head with one hand and kissed her. Wen Qiao felt that his mouth tasted like mint candy, light and refreshing.
"Listen to me," he said in a low, husky voice, then added, "I'll pick a date at the end of the month to hold the wedding. What do you think?"
"I can't wait."
Older men are bolder and more ambitious than younger men; they say what they want directly.
While Wen Qiao was still hesitant about her feelings, the other person already wanted the whole thing.
Wen Qiao nodded slightly.
Fearing that Lü Yazhi would dislike him, Shen Jichuan had his driver, Li Qiang, specially pick up Wen Qiao and Lü Yazhi and take them to their new residence.
Wen Qiao didn't hide it; instead, she told her mother that Shen Jichuan had found the house for her.
Lü Yazhi did not refuse, but instead said that she should thank the person.
Wen Qiao told her mother that Shen Jichuan had found the house for her. Lü Yazhi naturally assumed that Shen Jichuan had helped her find it, but they would naturally have to pay the rent.
Knowing that Wen Qiao and Shen Jichuan had registered their marriage, and seeing how eyed Shen Jichuan was on Wen Qiao, Lü Yazhi asked Wen Qiao if she was going to go back to the Shen family to live.
Wen Qiao helped pack her things, saying to her mother, "I'll stay here with you for a few days. If you really can't bear to part with me, then come and stay with the Shen family, okay?"
Lü Yazhi immediately shook her head, "That won't do, I'm perfectly fine living outside."
"A daughter is no longer under her mother's control once she grows up; she will eventually get married."
Li Qiang was very diligent; he moved all of Wen Qiao and her mother's belongings into the yard before leaving.
Wen Qiao looked around at the small courtyard house in front of her.
The yard isn't very big, but it's enough for a family of several people to live in.
It faces south and has a small courtyard and a separate kitchen. Because it is located in a hutong (traditional alleyway), there is no toilet in the courtyard, so you need to use the public toilet in the hutong.
A water pipe had been installed in the yard. Wen Qiao turned it on and found that there was water...
The courtyard looks messy, but in fact, the owner takes good care of it, and it has all the necessary water, electricity, and gas stove.
It's a bit worn out, but it's still usable.
Wen Qiao stayed in the courtyard with Lü Yazhi for a few days. Shen Jichuan specially brought some things to visit Lü Yazhi and picked up Wen Qiao along the way.
On the way back, Shen Jichuan was still talking to Wen Qiao.
If they're having their wedding at the end of the month, then we need to prepare the decorations for the house, as well as the clothes we need to buy for Wen Qiao.
I didn't expect to see people from my family suddenly appear as soon as I arrived at the family compound.
Shen's eldest sister-in-law, Su Yugui, spoke first, "Jichuan, your mother has been waiting for you here for two hours. Why are you only coming back now?"
"Mother came to see you because you hadn't been back for a long time. Why did she send Sister Ling back?"
