Yu Mengxian looked at Wen Qiao, a mature woman with a calm demeanor, her eyes indifferent yet smiling.
“I originally came here to find a partner. After all, Jichuan and I were almost going to get married. I heard that he hasn’t gotten married all these years, so I wanted to come and see him.”
"Little sister, don't get too excited."
Yu Mengxian said that on purpose.
Her meaning was clear: first, I came to Shen Jichuan to date, but I didn't expect that Shen Jichuan was already married.
Secondly, she wanted Wen Qiao to know that she and Shen Jichuan almost got married. What did this mean? It meant that Shen Jichuan had intended to marry Yu Mengxian.
She added that Shen Jichuan hadn't married all these years...
This implies that Wen Qiao and Shen Jichuan are not getting married because of her.
Wen Qiao smiled faintly, "Big sister, there's no need to get so excited. After all, my current health prevents me from getting excited."
"On the contrary, you came all the way from Beicheng to the Northwest. You must be tired and disappointed. Ji Chuan and I are married. He is my husband now. I hope you can remember, elder sister, that you are married."
"Moreover, he is a military officer, and his status is special and sensitive. It is necessary to avoid suspicion and keep a distance."
Yu Mengxian paused for a moment, and the polite smile on her face turned cold.
She originally thought Wen Qiao was just a young-looking woman, and that with a few words of instigation, she must have started a fight with Shen Jichuan first.
What Shen Jichuan feared and found most annoying was women throwing tantrums and making a scene.
To everyone's surprise, Wen Qiao didn't cry or make a fuss at all, and didn't even say anything to throw a tantrum.
Instead, he calmly and rationally told her that Shen Jichuan was a military officer and that she needed to maintain an appropriate distance from him.
The tone of his words left no room for argument.
Shen Jichuan glanced at Wen Qiao and walked up to her.
"Let's go back to the room first. I'll have someone arrange for her to stay at a guesthouse in the county town."
Wen Qiao nodded. "Are you still busy later? If not, go home. I want to eat your noodles, I want handmade noodles."
Wen Qiao rarely asks for his cooking, but this time she actually wants hand-pulled noodles.
Shen Jichuan paused for a moment, a hint of joy in his heart.
He didn't like Yu Mengxian's appearance, but he could see that Wen Qiao was jealous, so he was happy.
But Shen Jichuan knew clearly in his heart that he couldn't let Yu Mengxian have too much contact with Wen Qiao.
Yu Mengxian is a very assertive woman; she speaks harshly to people she doesn't like.
Besides, he and Yu Mengxian had no relationship whatsoever, so there was nothing to say about it.
While Wang Gang was still around, Shen Jichuan asked Wang Gang to make arrangements, as his wife was pregnant and in pain and needed his care.
"Political Commissar Wang, I'm sorry to trouble you. Wen Qiao is currently pregnant and has been feeling quite unwell. I'm the only one in the family who can take care of her. You can make arrangements as you see fit, without asking me."
Shen Jichuan meant that, regardless of whether it's good or bad, don't bother asking me again.
Wang Gang had served as political commissar for so many years; how could he not understand the implied meaning in Shen Jichuan's words?
"Alright, I'll make the arrangements. You should go back and take care of your younger siblings."
Wen Qiao smiled sweetly, "Thank you for your trouble, Brother Wang. Sister Yu has come all this way. If you don't like the guesthouse in the county town, you can arrange for her to go to the provincial capital. It'll be convenient to take the bus from the provincial capital when you go back to Beicheng."
Wang Gang grinned when he heard Wen Qiao's words.
Looking at Yu Mengxian again, her face could no longer be described as unhappy; it had completely turned cold.
Shen Jichuan and Wen Qiao went straight back to their house.
Wen Qiao even called out, "Close the door."
Shen Jichuan was obedient and turned to close the door without any impatience. He seemed quite happy to be ordered around.
Yu Mengxian was furious.
Just then, Wang Gang called out to her.
"Ms. Yu, let's go quickly. It takes more than two hours to drive from here to the county guesthouse, and it will take even longer to make arrangements."
Yu Mengxian glanced at Wang Gang, and she knew in her heart that Wang Gang was definitely listening to Shen Jichuan.
But she really can't go to the county guesthouse now; she took a special leave to come to the Northwest to find Shen Jichuan.
