Not long after Shen Jichuan left, he heard a knock on the door.
Wen Qiao thought it was someone delivering something.
She opened the door and saw Shen Xiao in a crisp military uniform.
"Your husband isn't home. You're too late. He had some work to do at his office and just left."
Shen Xiao looked at Wen Qiao with a cold gaze, "I'm not here to see my uncle, I'm here to see you."
"Comrade Wen Qiao, you're not married to my uncle yet, so isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to be living in his house right now?"
As Shen Xiao spoke, he used force to push the door open.
Wen Qiao knew that Shen Xiao had come to cause trouble.
She couldn't stop it, so she simply stopped caring.
Wen Qiao stood still, looking at Shen Xiao with a cold expression.
“My husband and I have already registered our marriage. To be precise, I am his wife. We are in a military marriage. Whether I am Shen Jichuan’s wife or not is not something you, a junior, can just say casually.”
"Junior?" Shen Xiao leaned closer to Wen Qiao. "You want to be my elder? Dream on. Wen Qiao, you're a few years younger than me, aren't you? How can you be my aunt, someone so much older than me?"
There was no fear in Wen Qiao's eyes.
He said frankly and openly, "There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Unless you stop calling me 'Uncle,' you don't have to call me 'Auntie' either."
Shen Xiao's eyes held a puzzled look that he couldn't quite understand Wen Qiao.
The information he found was correct, but Wen Qiao's calmness was beyond his expectations.
Wen Qiao lost her father at a young age and lived with her mother in the countryside to make a living.
Later, her mother remarried, and she naturally went to live with her stepfather.
Wen Qiao was a good student and had excellent grades, but because she was a girl, no one cared about her or paid attention to her.
Moreover, her father was a stepfather.
In fact, Wen Qiao's stepfather wanted her to marry her stepbrother in order to save on wedding expenses.
Wen Qiao then took the betrothal document between her and Shen Haiyang and came to the city to find Shen Haiyang.
Thinking of this, Shen Xiao lowered his voice and asked:
“Wen Qiao, I know that you came to the city to marry Shen Haiyang, but Shen Haiyang has someone he likes and he doesn’t want you. So you are unwilling to go back to your hometown in the countryside and be bullied by your stepfather and stepbrother. That’s why you clung to my uncle’s coattails.”
"How about we make a deal? You come with me, and I'll marry you."
"Although I don't hold a higher rank in the army than my uncle, I'm young, and I'll have plenty of opportunities for promotion in the future..."
Wen Qiao raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are you planning to sacrifice yourself for your uncle?"
Shen Xiao said, "Not really. I think you're quite an interesting person. Since you want to move to the city and find someone to marry, wouldn't it be better to come to me...?"
"Comrade Wen, the door is open, so I'll come in..."
Before Wen Qiao could speak, Li Qiang, the driver outside the door, came over first.
"Excuse me for bothering you. The delivery truck for the bed and cabinet will be at the door soon. I'd like to open it."
Li Qiang had naturally overheard what Shen Xiao and Wen Qiao were saying.
Li Qiang is Shen Jichuan's private car driver.
Moreover, Li Qiang is a veteran who previously worked under Shen Jichuan.
He had a very good relationship with Shen Jichuan.
Shen Xiao immediately looked at Wen Qiao with a malicious grin.
At this moment, Wen Qiao said, "You've come at the right time. We won't disturb you. This is the gentleman's nephew. Please tell me about my relationship with the gentleman inside."
"However, my love for you is as strong as gold, and I cannot let an outsider take it away so easily."
The smile on Shen Xiao's face instantly froze.
Wen Qiao ignored Shen Xiao and turned to talk to Li Qiang.
Only then did I realize that Shen Jichuan had ordered a huge bed and a set of pink-colored cabinets.
"The gentleman only said that the bed should be bigger, and the wardrobe should look more youthful..."
