Wen Qiao snorted and said, "But I want to spend my whole life with you. People always say, 'Don't forget the well-digger when you drink the water.' I've gotten to where I am today because you've helped me and guided me step by step. If I hadn't gone abroad, I wouldn't have been exposed to foreign languages. If I didn't know foreign languages, I wouldn't have been able to enter the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which urgently needs foreign language comrades, and I certainly wouldn't have such a good job now."
“I remember you lending me money back then, emptying your savings so I could go abroad to take my three children for rehabilitation.”
"Of course, if you don't want to remarry me, I respect your decision."
Wen Qiao said that on purpose.
This completely threw Shen Jichuan into a panic.
He disregarded everything else, grabbed Wen Qiao's shoulder, pulled her into his arms, and whispered, "I definitely want to remarry you. But I'm afraid it will restrict your freedom."
“Wen Qiao, you don’t know your own strength. I only introduced you to the basics, but if you don’t work hard and don’t have your own independent thinking, you won’t be where you are now.”
"I'm afraid that you'll regret it later, and feel that I've held you back."
"Perhaps I won't be able to offer you much help in the future. Will you be disappointed in me then?"
Loving someone too much will make you overthink.
Wen Qiao wrapped her arms around his waist and chuckled, "Absolutely not. No matter what, you're always like a pillar in my heart. When I'm confused or don't understand something, I feel at peace whenever I ask you or see you."
“Shen Jichuan, you only feel that I am very important to you. But you don’t realize that you are also very important to me.”
"You're being too anxious. Did someone whisper something in your ear that they shouldn't have?"
Wen Qiao could guess this without even asking.
The fact that Minister Yang personally appeared at her welcome banquet was certainly common knowledge. Not to mention, even Zhou Jia and Tang Yuanyuan, who were close to Wen Qiao, couldn't help but ask Wen Qiao privately if she had done something very important. Otherwise, why would that important person come in person and even call Wen Qiao to speak to him alone?
Wen Qiao simply smiled and said, "It's a secret mission; I can't tell you anything."
Since everyone here works for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, they quickly stopped asking questions.
However, in Shen Jichuan's military region, with its many leaders and diverse personnel, it was inevitable that some people would gossip and say unpleasant things about him.
Wen Qiao had experienced all of this before, and it was all about people saying that she was trying to curry favor with Shen Jichuan.
Given Wen Qiao's relationship with Minister Yang, everyone will say that Shen Jichuan is marrying above his station with Wen Qiao...
But none of that mattered to Wen Qiao.
The important thing is that they are a family together.
Seeing how much Wen Qiao trusted him, Shen Jichuan felt relieved.
"I've been a bit impetuous lately. I'll recover quickly. They say I'm just jealous, jealous that I have such a good wife."
Wen Qiao chuckled softly.
"Next time anyone criticizes you, just say, 'I personally taught my wife how to raise her. If you're so capable, go teach her yourself.'"
Upon hearing this, Shen Jichuan also laughed.
The two stood together in the living room, embracing intimately. None of the four children of the Shen family, nor Wu Suowei, felt shy; instead, they felt a sense of happiness.
Wu Suowei was still thinking to himself, when will his parents be able to have such a good relationship with his aunt and uncle?
Wu Suowei looked at them with envy, then turned to look at Da Bao and his siblings.
"My aunt and uncle never argue, which is really enviable. I really envy your parents."
Da Bao glanced at Wu Suowei and said casually, "Who said that? My parents argue too, but not often. They don't argue in front of us. They just go upstairs, close the door, and don't let anyone pass by."
Erbao continued, "Every time we finish arguing, Dad is the first to get down. I think it's because my mom can't beat my dad."
“My mom went abroad for a few years, and I think she just wanted to teach my dad a lesson. Look, now that my mom is back, my dad treats her so well.”
Sanbao also said softly, "My dad has become much gentler."
The youngest child looked at his two older brothers, one older sister, and his biological father, whom he wasn't very familiar with yet, without saying a word.
After having dinner at the Shen family's house, Wu Suowei played until four o'clock in the afternoon before going home.
He knew that his grandfather would go to the restaurant to help his grandmother on weekends, and that his father would usually be at home in the afternoons if he wasn't on duty at the hospital, or occasionally go fishing.
He pushed open the door and went inside. The door wasn't locked, so his father must have come home.
After arriving home, Wu Suowei went upstairs to the second floor, intending to ask his father about his mother.
Suddenly, I heard my father's angry voice questioning me from my parents' room.
"When are you coming back? I went to see your friend, Li Xue, who went to the south with you, has already returned. What are you doing in the south?"
"Li Sumei, how dare you hang up on me?"
Upon hearing his father's angry voice, Wu Suowei dared not say anything more.
He immediately turned around and went back to his room.
He also felt a sense of unease, fear, and worry about the unknown.
He didn't know what he was worried about, he just felt very uneasy.
After sending money to Lü Qian, Lü Yazhi went to see Wen Qiao again, but Wen Qiao wasn't home. Instead, she went to the special school to see Bai Yin.
Wen Qiao had met Bai Yin a few times, and they had become quite familiar with each other. Bai Yin didn't seem to have any aversion to her.
However, Bai Yin still showed resistance when Wen Qiao mentioned He Muye.
She gestured with her hands: "I only see him as a younger brother. He's doing well now, and I'm doing well too. That's good enough."
Wen Qiao said softly, "He likes you, don't you know?"
Let's just get straight to the point.
Bai Yin froze for a moment, then shook her head: "No, he's just dependent on me. After his parents passed away, he came to live with me, and I took care of him. It's not romantic love, it's more like sibling affection."
Baiyin did not believe Wenqiao's words.
Wen Qiao didn't force her to believe it, and gently explained He Muyi's cautious affection for her.
"He Muye said he wants you to go abroad to get treatment for your voice. You weren't born mute, it was acquired, so maybe it can be cured."
"If you're willing to go, I can help you get a passport and find someone to take you abroad."
Bai Yin shook her head slightly again.
Then she chuckled softly, "I'm doing fine now, I'm very content."
"You could cure your throat, but you're not willing to try?" Wen Qiao asked.
Wen Qiao found it strange that Bai Yin didn't expect to be cured of her muteness.
Bai Yin said that they were like siblings.
But when Wen Qiao said that He Muyi liked her, her eyes seemed to freeze in surprise, and then she looked happy.
