Chapter 605: Please Let Me Have a Sense of Accomplishment

Qin Wenhao’s face darkened instantly when he heard this.

He scoffed, "As if he’s worthy."

’Who the hell does he think he is, having designs on Qin Wenying?’

Fu Mingxue: ...?

"You’re right. I don’t think he’s good enough either. I’ve already subtly rejected him."

Just then, Qin Wenhao asked another question. "Have you told Qin Wenying about this?"

Fu Mingxue quickly shook her head. "No, I haven’t mentioned it. I haven’t told anyone. You’re the only one I’ve told."

’She really hadn’t thought about the matter at all these past few days.’

’Let alone bring it up with Qin Wenying.’

’Even if she had remembered, she couldn’t have brought herself to say it—and that’s without even getting into her grandfather’s recent passing.’

’Just based on how many times Qin Wenying had emphasized her commitment to staying single, she couldn’t bring it up anyway.’

’She had no desire to get on her bad side.’

’It was just like with herself—if she had made it clear she didn’t want to get married, she would also be incredibly annoyed if someone tried to set her up on a date under the guise of "it’s for your own good."’

Qin Wenhao was very satisfied with his wife’s handling of the situation. He then said, "Don’t tell her. We’ll just pretend this never happened."

’Isn’t that guy surnamed Li at the base?’

’Good. I’ll go have a little talk with him this time.’

Fu Mingxue nodded decisively. "Okay."

The three-day train journey didn’t feel boring to Fu Mingxue at all, because Qin Wenhao was with her.

Normally, she would just lie in her sleeper berth and read.

At the next stop, two young people boarded and took the two berths opposite them; they seemed to be university students heading south.

「After they arrived.」

Fu Mingxue asked Qin Wenhao, "When are you heading back to your unit?"

Qin Wenhao looked at her. "You don’t want me to stay here for a few days?"

Fu Mingxue shook her head. "It’s not that. It’s just that I’ll be very busy the next few days and might not be able to look after you—"

Qin Wenhao felt incredibly pleased upon hearing this.

"You don’t need to look after me. I can just wander around on my own. I’m your family dependent; the base should give me permission to walk around. Besides, I’m not going into your core areas."

Hearing him say that, Fu Mingxue knew he would have his own arrangements.

"Alright, let’s head to the dormitory first then."

She was the only one living in the dormitory assigned by the base, and the bed wasn’t a single, so it was large enough for the two of them.

Qin Wenhao nodded. "Okay."

Fu Mingxue had called ahead, so the base sent a car to pick them up from the train station.

The car first took the couple to the dormitory building.

Fu Mingxue led Qin Wenhao up to her room on the second floor.

"You rest for a bit. I’m going to take a shower."

’The train ride these past few days was so uncomfortable. It’ll be perfect to head to the base after a shower.’

Qin Wenhao nodded. "Alright."

Fu Mingxue found her clothes.

Then she went out, carrying a basin.

The shower room was outside at the other end of the hall.

The dormitory was very much like a corridor-style apartment building.

After Fu Mingxue finished her shower, Qin Wenhao took her dirty clothes from her. "Honey, just leave these. I’ll wash them in a bit. Didn’t you say you had to go to the base for work? You should hurry up and go."

Fu Mingxue felt a little embarrassed about letting him wash her clothes.

"It’s fine, I’m not that short on time."

Qin Wenhao said, "Even if you’re not, I’m here now, so shouldn’t you let me do a few more chores? Otherwise, I won’t feel any sense of accomplishment as a husband."

Qin Wenhao’s words made the corner of Fu Mingxue’s mouth twitch.

’He’d just been saying how Qin Wenshu was full of hot air and spouted nonsense, and now here he was—is that really how you use the phrase "sense of accomplishment"?’
