"Oh!"
Wen Qiheng drank the tea in his cup and smiled.
Then, with her peach blossom eyes, she looked Jun Jianchou up and down and asked a completely unrelated question:
"You, Jun Xiaoqiao, and Cen Xi, sometimes act out of place here. Could you tell me where you come from?"
Why do you ask that?
After tidying his clothes, Jun Jianchou looked sharply at Wen Qiheng.
"Because I see a strange harmony in the three of you, as if you came from the same place. Of course, I'm not talking about Shangyang City, but somewhere else, as if you don't fit in with this world!"
Wen Qiheng thought for a moment, then said with a smile.
Do you believe in karma from past lives? The three of us knew each other in a previous life.
Jun Jianchou hadn't expected Wen Qiheng to be so perceptive, but he felt there was nothing to hide, so he spoke frankly.
"I see, I see, no wonder..."
After confirming his thoughts, Wen Qiheng muttered to himself.
"Then will you be able to go back?"
Wen Qiheng's eyes showed some confusion.
"I don't know, is Chief Secretary Wen worried that my cousin will one day disappear from this world?"
Jun Jianchou finally understood why this wealthy young man from the capital had invited him out today. So it was all about love after all. What did that shameless woman, Jun Xiaoqiao, have to deserve this?
"There is some truth to that. She is different from other women. As her husband, I can't quite understand her. So today, I would like to ask the Great General to help me understand her."
Wen Qiheng readily admitted that he just wanted to find out Jun Xiaoqiao's background in order to deal with her unreasonable behavior later.
"That woman is incredibly shallow. I don't know if you're blind to have fallen for him or what. If he doesn't like you anymore, he'll try every means to leave you. If you don't want him to cheat on you, I advise you to get a divorce as soon as possible. She's a very fickle woman, and you might not be able to control her."
Jun Jianchou knew Jun Xiaoqiao's character all too well. He had never wanted Cen Xi to be friends with her before, but since she was his cousin and lived in the same place, there was no way to avoid her.
“She provoked me first, and now she wants me to let her go? Where does that leave my face, Wen Qiheng? Did she have many male friends before?”
After Wen Qiheng chuckled, he continued to ask Jun Jianchou.
"I advise you not to seek out torture. If you are looking for a faithful woman, she does not meet the standard at all. In our world, it was very open and it was normal for unmarried men and women to be together. You can't blame her for being wrong. That's just how the society was. I hope my honest words will not offend Chief Secretary Wen."
Jun Jianchou thought for a moment, glanced at the man, and decided to tell the truth. Since it was the man who asked, why shouldn't he answer?
"clang!"
Jun Jianchou's honest words made Wen Qiheng's face turn ugly, his teacup fell to the ground, and his mood instantly turned sour.
"If Young Master Wen cannot bear it, I apologize for speaking out of turn. Farewell."
Jun Jianchou rubbed non-existent dust off his nose and got up to leave. He had originally wanted to discuss some serious matters with this man, but it seemed that wouldn't be possible today.
"Wait, sit down. We didn't tell you to leave, and the Great General is already in such a hurry?"
Wen Qiheng forced an ugly smile and grabbed Jun Jianchou.
"I... never mind, Chief Secretary Wen...!"
Jun Jianchou was a little confused as to why he wanted to stay and watch him suffer. Well, they were brothers, so he decided to stay and see what the other man was up to.
"Nothing to say. We haven't even discussed the important matters yet. Stay here and let's talk about the important matters. As for my wife, I don't care what she was like before. Even if she's still the same as before, she won't be able to escape my grasp. Since she married me, she'll have to keep her claws hidden."
Wen Qiheng gulped down two mouthfuls of tea to calm himself down, then revealed an indescribable smile.
Seeing him like this, Jun Jianchou couldn't help but chuckle:
“Okay, we’ll fully cooperate if you want to reform her. You can come to me for advice later. After all, I’m your brother-in-law now.”
"Waiter, why are you so slow? The food hasn't arrived yet."
Although Wen Qiheng appeared calm on the surface, he really needed a pot of wine to relieve his frustration. Unfortunately, the waiter at the inn was so slow that it made him anxious.
Just as he finished speaking, there was a knock at the door. Jun Jianchou opened the door, and Xiao Er nervously carried the food he had brought to the table before quietly running away.
Wen Qiheng twisted open the cap of a bottle of wine, elegantly pulled his sleeve over, filled his own bowl, and poured one for Jun Jianchou as well.
"What about Cen Xi? Does Cen Xi also treat relationships between men and women with the same disdain as her?"
For some reason, Wen Qiheng said something like that, perhaps he might need to find some balance.
“Cen Xi is different from her. She never dated in her past life, and no man dared to approach her except me.”
Jun Jianchou's handsome eyes swept over Wen Qiheng's face before he calmly replied.
"Why did the Great General Wang lose so miserably? If you had gotten Cen Xi, why would I have to endure your words like this? And how would I have met Jun Xiao Qiao?"
Wen Qiheng took a sip of wine and looked at Jun Jianchou meaningfully.
"It's pointless for Chief Secretary Wen to take his anger out on her like this. As a man, since you married her, you should accept her past. Forget it, let's talk about business and not women."
Jun Jianchou paused, his chopsticks stilled, after being mocked. He then picked up a small, unremarkable piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth.
"That's right! Let's not talk about women, let's drink and drown our sorrows. Jun Xiaoqiao, just wait and see how I deal with her. She wants to leave me, just you wait."
Wen Qiheng was probably really hurt by Jun Jianchou's blunt truth; he was crying and laughing alternately, which was quite unsettling.
“Wen Qiheng, ha! What’s so great about Jun Xiaoqiao that makes a proud young master like you act like this? If you really care about her, Jun Xiaoqiao is used to being fawned over. You can be nice to her first, and then distance yourself from her, pretending you don’t care about her. Maybe it will have unexpected results.”
Jun Jianchou glanced at the man speechlessly, then sat down opposite him and spoke seriously.
"The person who brought you clothes outside just now was... your old flame? I think she treats you very well, Your Majesty should cherish her."
After a few sips of wine, Wen Qiheng's face turned flushed, and he began to speak incoherently. For some reason, he suddenly remembered the time when Zhu Yanniang had given the man in front of him clothes.
"Two cups of wine and you're already like this... Well, I'm afraid we can't talk about anything serious today. I'll take you home!"
Seeing that the other party was about to act crazy while drunk, Jun Jianchou stood up in disgust, pressed Wen Qiheng's pressure points, and carried him away from the restaurant.
"Don't take me away! That shameless traitor Shen Jinchen took his wife out to fool around, and now we have to clean up his mess. General Wang stole your woman and is blatantly showing off. Don't you... don't you want to kill him? Come on, let's continue drinking and discuss whether poisoning is feasible?"
