Wen Qiao, wearing an apron, was holding a freshly cooked dish in her hands.
The dishes she prepared tonight were all tailored to Shen Jichuan's taste.
Wen Qiao didn't say anything.
Lu Yazhi asked worriedly, "Is it something urgent? Let's go after dinner. Xiao Qiao has been preparing for so long."
"mom."
Wen Qiao called out to Lü Yazhi, signaling her to stop talking.
Then she placed the spicy chicken on the table, took off her apron, and looked at Shen Jichuan.
"If you're busy, go quickly. You're such a high-ranking leader, if something comes up at this time, it must be something urgent."
Wen Qiao said, "I'll take you."
Shen Jichuan was about to say no, but seeing how obedient Wen Qiao was, how could he bear to refuse?
We arrived at the main gate.
Wen Qiao saw the driver who was already waiting outside the door.
The driver has changed; it's no longer the one Wen Qiao knew before.
Even the car's license plate has been changed.
On the surface, it seems that many things haven't changed.
In reality, everything is changing quietly.
She looked up at Shen Jichuan with a faint smile.
"Go ahead and get busy. I'll save you some dinner. If you're hungry when you get back tonight, you can eat it. It's okay if you're not hungry. Actually, as long as you're doing well, it doesn't matter whether I take care of you or not."
Just like Shen Jichuan's life afterward, even without her.
As long as he is doing well, Wen Qiao will never bother him again.
"Wen Qiao, don't overthink it. I'll be back later."
Wen Qiao hummed in agreement and watched Shen Jichuan get into the car and leave.
Just as Wen Qiao was about to go back to her room, she saw Li Meilan.
When their eyes met, Wen Qiao immediately guessed that Li Meilan had come out to find her son to come home for dinner.
Taking advantage of his mother's distraction, the young Zhou broke free from his restraints and ran home.
Li Meilan then looked at Wen Qiao.
"My goodness, Wen Qiao, you've become so beautiful! I almost didn't recognize you."
"You used to have a round face, but now it's become a small oval face, and you've grown more and more beautiful."
"I just saw Commander Shen's car leave. What happened? Did they ask him about their overseas connections again?"
Overseas connections?
Wen Qiao frowned slightly. "Sister-in-law, could you please explain this to me more clearly? What complicated overseas connections does Shen Jichuan have?"
Li Meilan asked with a puzzled look, and then said:
"You're back now. Didn't Commander Shen tell you? Someone above is investigating overseas connections, saying it's about political stance, but I'm not sure. Your Commander Shen is one of them."
"I don't know the specifics. I'm just thinking that you just came back from abroad, and at this critical juncture, aren't you making Commander Shen a target of attention?"
After returning home, Wen Qiao was still thinking about what Li Meilan had told her.
Is Shen Jichuan's coldness towards her due to the recent crackdown on overseas relationships?
She just happened to return at that exact time.
Although she doesn't have any complicated overseas connections, she did return from overseas.
Moreover, with Shen Jichuan now in a high position, Wen Qiao will definitely be listed as a key target for investigation.
So, Shen Jichuan's statement that he currently has no plans to remarry may be due to this reason.
Thinking of this, Wen Qiao felt a sense of lightness in her heart.
Shen Jichuan definitely loved her, but he lied to her to protect her from the storms outside.
Whether they remarry or not, as long as they love each other and live together.
Wen Qiao felt that it was okay to be a little late.
