When Wen Qiao got home, she casually put the things on one side of the clothes rack and didn't think much of it.
Just as I was about to wash my hands, Shen Jichuan returned from outside, seemingly talking to someone.
Wen Qiao vaguely heard words of congratulations.
Wen Qiao thought that it must be because Director Zhou had been promoted.
A few days ago, she overheard several of Zhou's sisters-in-law, who were close to the Zhou family, telling Li Meilan that they would no longer be able to visit each other's homes.
As Wen Qiao was thinking, Shen Jichuan walked in from outside the gate.
As he approached, Wen Qiao asked, "Is Director Zhou's family moving away?"
Shen Jichuan said, "He's being transferred to a different region; he's moving."
"Old Zhou has finally made it after so many years. He'll be working in his next position until retirement. He told me the other day that if he doesn't get a promotion, he'll probably have to go home."
Wen Qiao asked, "Did you help?"
Shen Jichuan didn't say anything, and walked towards his home. After taking off his coat inside, he said, "I mentioned it briefly, he has the ability."
Wen Qiao smiled and said, "I knew you had this temper. You may look cold, but you have a very kind heart."
Shen Jichuan looked at Wen Qiao and smiled. He felt that he was not the kind of cold-faced but kind-hearted person that Wen Qiao said he was. Rather, after being with Wen Qiao, he learned to get along with the people around him in a warmer way.
Or rather, he is willing to understand other people's needs and shows some kindness at crucial moments.
"My wife taught me the best."
Wen Qiao smiled and said, "When did I teach you?"
As the two were talking, Shen Jichuan noticed the exquisitely packaged handbag.
He doesn't often buy gifts for Wen Qiao.
But I knew that these exquisite gift bags were for giving gifts.
"Did you buy a gift?" he asked, glancing at the gift bag.
Wen Qiao said softly, "I didn't buy it. It was a thank-you gift from my boss, who asked his secretary to buy it for me to thank me for taking care of his son. I was too embarrassed to accept it, but he insisted on giving it to me."
"I took a look, and it's a scarf."
Pink with cherry blossoms, it's quite pretty.
Wen Qiao thought to herself, "As expected of Zhao Qingzhou's secretary, even the gifts he buys casually are so exquisite."
Shen Jichuan's eyes were filled with deep thought. Wen Qiao's boss was probably interested in his wife.
How could a gift given away casually be so exquisite?
Seeing that Shen Jichuan was silent, Wen Qiao was afraid that he would overthink things, so she said, "Are you bothered by this? If you are, I will return it tomorrow."
"No, if someone gives you a gift, it means you are a good person and deserve to receive the gift."
He naturally believed Wen Qiao's words.
He wouldn't be so petty as to object to his wife accepting gifts from others.
Wen Qiao hummed in agreement and offered a soft explanation.
“My boss’s son is about the same age as our three children. If there’s a company dinner later and family members are allowed, I’ll bring my kids along.”
Shen Jichuan immediately understood what Wen Qiao meant.
He said with a smile, "You're afraid I'll overthink things."
“I’ve always trusted you. I’m just worried that someone might try to take advantage of you.”
Wen Qiao said seriously, "What are you trying to do to me? I have a marriage certificate, I have a husband, and three lovely children. What would I be thinking to have an affair with someone else?"
Wen Qiao's words were taken too seriously, and Shen Jichuan felt deeply apologetic for his doubts.
Not long after dinner, Zhou Xingchao and Li Meilan arrived.
