“I’ll take you tomorrow, but I won’t let the children go. I’m afraid Sanbao will cry. She’s never been away from you before.”
Wen Qiao nodded and said, "I'm also most worried about Sanbao. I told my mom to come over often during this time."
"You know, if you had stopped me, I might have chosen not to go."
As Wen Qiao spoke, she lifted the blanket and sat on the bed. Shen Jichuan reached out and pulled her close, and Wen Qiao nestled against his chest.
Shen Jichuan said, "I want you to know that I am not your only choice in this world. Wen Qiao, you deserve a better and a wider world."
"If one day I leave, you can be independent and free to be yourself, instead of depending on me for the rest of your life. I can indeed give you a comfortable life without having to struggle while I'm alive, but what if I leave?"
Who can guarantee they'll love you forever?
Wen Qiao raised her eyes; her eyes were always moist, carrying a lively innocence.
"You, you can love me for a lifetime. I can feel it, you're too good to me."
Shen Jichuan smiled and kissed her forehead, while Wen Qiao stared at him with her big, bright eyes.
Shen Jichuan truly possesses a resolute and handsome face. His eyes have subtle creases at the corners, but the older man's handsome features are very defined. He's just a bit old, especially when compared to Wen Qiao.
But even a handsome man can be a handsome old man.
Besides, being in your forties is the perfect time for mature charm.
Wen Qiao even felt that Shen Jichuan's physical condition was much better than some younger white-feathered chickens.
Shen Jichuan felt a surge of happiness just looking at Wen Qiao.
"If you praise me again, you won't be able to sleep tonight."
Wen Qiao immediately pleaded, "I won't praise you anymore, I won't praise you anymore, you should go to sleep now."
"I need to get up early tomorrow."
Shen Jichuan hummed in agreement, hugged Wen Qiao in his arms, and whispered, "You're going abroad to study this time, with your colleagues. Once you're abroad, wherever you go, you must go with others, not alone."
"Study hard and don't go out drinking and partying with shady people. If you want to go, I'll take you later."
Wen Qiao asked, "You can't go abroad, so how are you going to take me?"
"There are bars in China, they're new, but few people go there now. They're a mixed bag, and very few young girls go there."
Wen Qiao chuckled and said, "I'm not a little girl anymore."
"A young married woman?" Shen Jichuan replied softly, "I prefer her."
"Shen Jichuan, you've lost all sense of decency now, saying anything and everything."
Wen Qiao said this on purpose. Actually, when she heard Shen Jichuan say some impudent things to her in bed, she was shy at first, but now she felt a little bit excited.
Or perhaps this is just a little bit of fun between the couple.
That night, the first half was spent running errands, and the second half was just spent talking.
Wen Qiao then realized that Shen Jichuan could really talk a lot when he got carried away...
While Wen Qiao was drifting off to sleep, she mumbled something to remind Shen Jichuan:
"When I'm not home, you have to behave yourself, Uncle Shen. Don't let any nurses or military doctors come to the house to check you up. I'll get jealous."
Wen Qiao simply said, "I'm jealous."
Shen Jichuan immediately remembered it.
During Wen Qiao's time abroad, Shen Jichuan truly did not bring any women home, whether they were young or over thirty or forty. Even if there were urgent documents that needed his signature, he would order that only male comrades should come to his home.
