Wen Qiao cooked the rice and brought the food to the table. She didn't see Shen Jichuan and Shen Xiao come into the room, and judging from their voices, they didn't seem to be in the study either.
She walked to the living room door and looked outside.
Shen Jichuan was standing in the courtyard smoking.
He turned his head and met Wen Qiao's gaze.
"Sorry, I had a craving for a cigarette."
Because Shen Jichuan said he wanted a child, Wen Qiao said that since he wanted one, he should prepare for it and have Shen Jichuan quit smoking first.
Before Wen Qiao could say anything, he realized he had made a mistake when he saw him smoking.
Wen Qiao said softly, "It's okay if it happens once in a while."
"Chen Xiao is gone? What brings him here?"
Wen Qiao didn't intend to ask too much about the old house, but seeing that Shen Jichuan was worried about her, she asked him with concern.
Shen Jichuan stubbed out his cigarette, walked towards Wen Qiao, took her hand, and led her into the house.
"They just wanted to get some benefits from me, and now that they haven't succeeded, they've moved on to another camp. That's normal; it doesn't affect me at all."
"Wen Qiao, you just said you had some good news to tell me? What is it?"
Wen Qiao said with a smile, "I passed the accounting certificate exam."
"I was thinking of taking advantage of this time to see which companies are hiring accountants so I can apply for one."
“I’ll help you find one.” After saying that, Shen Jichuan looked at Wen Qiao with a serious and earnest expression. “You have an accounting certificate. I’m just introducing you to someone; it’s not like I’m using connections.”
"Wen Qiao, sometimes you shouldn't be so naive. You should think about how to use me to maximize your own interests."
Wen Qiao looked at Shen Jichuan with surprise.
Is this man crazy? He even willingly lets others take advantage of him.
After dinner, Shen Jichuan didn't take Wen Qiao upstairs to make a baby as he usually does.
The two of them sat in the yard and chatted for a while.
Shen Jichuan asked Wen Qiao what her dreams were...
This question really stumped Wen Qiao.
"It's the thing you most want to do..." Shen Jichuan asked, rephrasing the question.
The thing she wanted to do most was to kill Shen Haiyang.
To cause a rift between Shen Jichuan and his son Shen Jichuan, and to turn Shen Haiyang into a lump of mud from which he can never rise again.
She wanted to crush Shen Haiyang under her feet.
But now, she doesn't think that way anymore.
She was being a bit naive.
"It should be like this, living a simple and ordinary life with you, having one or two more children, going to work together, and raising the children."
Shen Jichuan immediately burst into laughter.
Her idea was very simple; it wasn't a dream at all, just a simple thought of a young girl.
"Wen Qiao, even if I'm gone in the future, you must still live happily every day, just like you do now."
"Why do you say that? Why aren't you here anymore?" Wen Qiao felt very strange and asked, holding his hand.
Shen Jichuan gripped her hand even tighter.
“I’m so much older than you, I’ll definitely go first. It sounds a bit cruel, but it’s the truth.”
Wen Qiao replied, "What if I go before you? Birth, aging, sickness, and death are all uncertain."
"Let's not talk about this anymore, it's so boring."
She had died once in her past life, and now she only wants to enjoy life.
Perhaps influenced by Wen Qiao's positivity, Shen Jichuan's mood also improved.
That night, he wanted to have sex again, but Wen Qiao pushed him away.
