Chapter 606: Acquaintance

He’d already said all that, so what else could Fu Mingxue do?

She couldn’t just keep snatching the clothes back and forth, could she?

"—Alright then, I’ll get going. If you get hungry, just go to the cafeteria yourself. I left the meal tickets on the table. Or you can just give them my name."

"Okay," Qin Wenhao urged her again to hurry up and leave.

Fu Mingxue: ...?

Fine, she’d go.

Qin Wenhao wasn’t in a hurry to start washing, though.

First, he hung up the underwear his wife had already washed in the bathroom.

Then he took his own clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

After that, he put his changed clothes into the basin with his wife’s and took them to the outdoor sink to do the laundry together.

Just as he started soaping up the clothes, an uncertain voice suddenly called out, "—Qin Wenhao?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Qin Wenhao couldn’t help but turn his head.

"Whoa, it really is you! Qin Wenhao, what are you doing here?" The man with the shocked expression was Zhai Dajiang, who had lived in the same residential compound as Qin Wenhao.

The difference was that Qin Wenhao had joined the military, while Zhai Dajiang worked here at the base.

Zhai Dajiang had just thought his eyes were playing tricks on him.

After all, there was no reason for Qin Wenhao to be here.

But he never expected it to actually be Qin Wenhao.

Qin Wenhao hadn’t expected to run into an acquaintance either.

He calmly said, "I was dropping my wife off. What, you live here too?"

"Your wife? Who?" Zhai Dajiang looked completely lost.

It wasn’t his fault he didn’t know; he’d been working at this base for several years.

And he hadn’t been back to Beijing City in three or four years.

"Wait, you’re married? Didn’t you say you’d never get married in your life? How did you suddenly go and get hitched?"

Qin Wenhao: ...?

’Is there something wrong with this guy’s head?’

"Haven’t you heard of ’that was then, this is now’? I said I wouldn’t get married when I was young and foolish. What does that have to do with me now? Aren’t people allowed to grow up?"

Zhai Dajiang: ...?

’You call this growing up? You’ve become completely unrecognizable.’

’So, was everything you said before just bullshit?’

"So who’s your wife? Does she work here at our base?"

"Fu Mingxue. She’s working here temporarily."

Zhai Dajiang: ...?

"Who? Are you saying *that* Group Leader Fu is your wife?"

On this floor, there was only one young and beautiful Group Leader Fu, wasn’t there?

And to be honest, not only was this Group Leader Fu beautiful, but she was also incredibly capable at such a young age.

He had even been thinking about asking someone to act as a matchmaker—she was the first person in a long time who made him consider marriage.

But he hadn’t even decided who to ask for help with the matchmaking.

And now, Qin Wenhao just comes right out and says Fu Mingxue is his wife?

"That’s right. My wife. We got married the year before last. We’ve been married for three years," Qin Wenhao said without batting an eye.

’A month and a bit the year before last still counts as a year. Then all of last year. And even though it’s only been about ten days, this is a new year, isn’t it? One year plus one year plus one year—that’s three years, right? My math is flawless!’

"Huh? You’ve been married that long?" Zhai Dajiang was utterly shocked.

After all, that Group Leader Fu looked so young—no older than twenty or so.

How could she have been married for three years? Did she get married that early?

’Did this bastard Qin Wenhao trick Group Leader Fu into marrying him?’

It had to be said, that rascal Qin Wenhao—his good looks were certainly deceptive, more than enough to fool a young girl.

’But—I’m not so bad myself!’

The thought that this scoundrel Qin Wenhao had beaten him to the punch with Group Leader Fu made him sick with frustration.

Why hadn’t he met Comrade Fu Mingxue sooner?
