Zhao Qingzhou was frighteningly cautious. He was afraid that He Muyi would find out something, so he wrote down the message he wanted to tell Wen Qiao on a note and stuffed it into the pocket inside her trench coat.
Wen Qiao had told Zhao Qingzhou that the mute woman was very important, and Zhao Qingzhou was keeping a close eye on the fact that the billions of US dollars had not yet been returned.
Wen Qiao is one of his own people, so Zhao Qingzhou has nothing to worry about.
However, he had to keep an eye on He Muyi, lest something go wrong between him and the mute comrade.
Zhao Qingzhou gave Wen Qiao an address.
It wasn't Shen Jichuan's unit, but rather the location of a garrison, situated on the outskirts of the city.
Wen Qiao asked Zhao Qingzhou's secretary to temporarily place Wen Zhengnian's ashes. She needed to find Shen Jichuan, and she couldn't carry Wen Zhengnian's urn around everywhere.
Not only was she unwilling, but it also showed a lack of respect for the deceased.
She was so eager to see Shen Jichuan that she didn't even shower or change her clothes before taking a taxi directly to the encampment.
By the time Wen Qiao arrived at the encampment, it was already dark.
She told the young soldier on guard duty that she was looking for Shen Jichuan.
The young soldier didn't recognize Wen Qiao, so he immediately made a phone call to report the matter. When Shen Jichuan heard Wen Qiao's name, his heart suddenly tightened.
He is running away.
He was aware that Wen Qiao was about to return to China, but he chose to come to the garrison before Wen Qiao's return, ostensibly to inspect the work.
In fact, these grassroots tasks don't need to be inspected by a division commander like him.
When Shen Jichuan came to pick up Wen Qiao, Wen Qiao was standing at the door. She was wearing a beige long dress, her long hair was draped down her back, and a light gray trench coat, which made her waist look even more slender.
Wen Qiao looked much more mature and composed than before, and her eyes were more calm and wise compared to her previous naivety.
She has really changed for the better, for the better.
She was so good that Shen Jichuan felt he was not worthy of Wen Qiao.
He walked out of the courtyard and looked at Wen Qiao. Before he could say anything, Wen Qiao immediately ran towards him and reached out to hug him.
But at this moment, Shen Jichuan did not take the initiative.
Wen Qiao also noticed the stiffness in Shen Jichuan's body.
She felt a little sad, but still asked softly with a smile, "Don't you miss me? I miss you and the children so much."
Shen Jichuan's hand rose and fell, out of Wen Qiao's sight.
"Wen Qiao, this is the military compound. Don't hug and kiss like this. It's improper."
Why are you here at this hour?
Wen Qiao hesitated for a moment, her faint smile faltering. She was heartbroken, a heartbreak she couldn't quite put her finger on; she just felt as if Shen Jichuan had abandoned her.
Was she rejected by him?
Wen Qiao's smile was starting to falter, but she didn't dare to lose her temper with Chen Jichuan.
In her mind, she shouldn't have married He Muye abroad.
But she got married, that's her current status, so what does it mean for her to hug and cuddle with Shen Jichuan?
It counts as adultery.
But she still said in a casual tone, "Didn't you say it was okay before?"
After Wen Qiao finished speaking, seeing that Shen Jichuan didn't say anything, she whispered, "Okay, I understand. I'll be more careful in the future."
“I just got off the plane. Zhao Qingzhou told me that you were here. I came to find you with my luggage. I thought you would be at home with the children waiting for me.”
Shen Jichuan, however, asked Wen Qiao with surprising calmness.
"Are you divorced?"
Wen Qiao paused, then shook her head slightly. "It will take some more time. I came back this time to send Wen Zhengnian's ashes back to China for burial. I..."
Before Wen Qiao could finish speaking, Shen Jichuan said, "Come find me after you've completely ended that relationship."
"Wen Qiao, I told you, I would wait for you. As long as you come back, I will always want you."
Wen Qiao stood frozen in place.
You still mind, don't you?
She dared not ask this question, for she was afraid that if she did, Shen Jichuan would really say, "Yes, I mind. I mind that my wife married someone else."
Wen Qiao nodded and said, "Okay, I... I understand."
"Can I still see you now?"
She really, really missed Shen Jichuan.
"Wen Qiao, let's not go for now..."
Before he could finish speaking, he heard someone calling his name.
"Commander Shen, dinner is ready. I've prepared everything. Why are you still outside?"
It was a woman's voice.
Wen Qiao's gaze fell on Shen Jichuan. If he said anything about her leaving, she would turn around and leave immediately.
Shen Jichuan didn't answer the woman inside, but looked at Wen Qiao and said, "It's dark here, so it's hard to get a taxi, and there are no guesthouses for you to stay in."
Wen Qiao asked, "You want me to stay outside all night, right?"
Shen Jichuan frowned. "No, what I mean is, would you like to stay in my dorm for the night?"
"good."
"I haven't eaten either. Even if we're not husband and wife anymore, I'm still your ex-wife. Can I have a meal at your workplace?"
Shen Jichuan's brows seemed to furrow even more, but he neither refused nor offered any further explanation.
He had his own concerns, after all, Wen Qiao's current status was not that of his wife.
He was afraid of being alone in a room with Wen Qiao. Could he... bear it?
He had almost lost control when Wen Qiao hugged him, but he wasn't sure what Wen Qiao's purpose was in bringing him here.
Moreover, he also asked and found out that Wen Qiao was not divorced.
In other words, he is still married to someone else.
Yu Li is a psychologist from the military hospital who specializes in providing psychological counseling to soldiers. This has been going on for about a month.
Shen Jichuan consulted Yu Li about his emotional problems.
However, he did not say much about Li's personal feelings.
Yu Li had heard from others that Commander Shen's ex-wife had abandoned her husband and children and gone abroad.
She was quite enthusiastic towards Shen Jichuan.
Yu Li is divorced. She has a son who lives with her husband, who has been transferred to another city. Yu Li is only thirty-five or thirty-six years old and is also thinking about finding someone again.
Knowing that Commander Shen was single, she thought of transforming herself into a gentle female psychologist and constantly caring for Shen Jichuan.
Today, Wen Qiao really caught me red-handed.
Shen Jichuan wasn't particularly enthusiastic about Li, and his communication was simple and direct.
He didn't tell Yu Li much about Wen Qiao's identity.
Dinner was brought directly to the dormitory by the guards, where he and Wen Qiao ate.
