"Because you are my wife, I will slowly accept you. You are very special."

Qi Shuo likes Cheng Wenwen. In addition to the family warmth she can bring to him, he is also attracted by her uniqueness.

For example, when she ran out of money, she would find a way to set up a stall instead of asking for money from herself. Another example is that she would occasionally come up with some strange and bizarre dishes, some ideas that were really shocking, and so on.

These are all different from other women.

For example, regarding divorce, if it were another woman, most likely she wouldn't dare to do it, but she did.

"Cheng Wenwen, aren't you worried about being criticized by others after you separate from me? Aren't you worried that you won't be able to marry someone better in the future?"

"I am worried! But I will still make this choice. There are some things that cannot be compromised. For example, I cannot tolerate my husband having another woman. To be honest, General, please don't be angry. In fact, from the beginning, I never considered following you, so I thought about running away."

"I see."

Qi Shuo finally understood her motives behind her previous actions.

It turns out that she never considered herself as a husband.

No wonder she didn't take the initiative to ask me for money, nor did she manage the household expenses, and was only thinking about escaping and leaving.

Qi Shuo smiled bitterly.

This is what makes her special. If she had submitted to her fate like other women, he might not have liked her so much and would not have been reluctant to part with her.

Qi Shuo remembered something and said one last sentence: "Cheng Wenwen, I have never touched the concubines in my house. To be precise, they are not my women."

Qi Shuo has never touched a woman in his life. At first, he was just afraid of being assassinated, but later he became busier and busier and no longer had the heart to do so.

But if he told this, Cheng Wenwen probably wouldn't believe it, and might even laugh at him.

Cheng Wenwen nodded and said, "Okay! I believe the general. The general is not the kind of person who indulges in women."

After hearing this, Qi Shuo sighed slightly. In fact, whether she believed it or not, it would not change anything, and she would not go back to Shanzhou with him.

"Forget it, it's late today, go to bed early."

"Okay! General, go to bed early too!"

After this conversation, the two couldn't sleep even more.

Cheng Wenwen didn't expect that Qi Shuo really liked her. It was a pity that she didn't know these things about Qi Shuo earlier. However, even if she had known it earlier, she might not have believed what Qi Shuo said.

Even if he had never touched the concubines in the mansion, there was still Wu Li. Wu Li had followed Qi Shuo since she was a teenager, and it was hard to say what kind of things and feelings they had during that time. After thinking about it, Cheng Wenwen was too lazy to get involved.

She no longer thought about these things. She had no regrets in making this move. She had already used up all her savings to buy a house and a shop in the capital, so she could only think about the rest after she had established herself firmly on her feet.

They all slept uneasily that night.

It was not until the next morning that they were awakened by the crowing of roosters outside and realized that the sky was beginning to brighten and Qi Shuo was about to set off.

Cheng Wenwen also got up and asked He Mama and Pei'er to prepare food so that Qi Shuo could have a good meal before leaving.

Qi Shuo looked at the delicious breakfast on the table and felt complicated. He was happy that Cheng Wenwen took care of him, but he was also sad that this was the last time she cooked for him.

He finished his meal slowly, then packed up and prepared to leave.

Cheng Wenwen took out another big bag and handed it to Qi Shuo, saying, "This is the snack I prepared for Qi Xing and Qi Qi. Children love to eat these the most."

Qi Shuo weighed the full bag, which was quite heavy.

"You are thinking about them."

Cheng Wenwen smiled and said, "They are both very cute. I like them very much. But you have to tell the nurse not to let them be greedy. They still have to eat well."

While listening to her instructions, Qi Shuo looked at Cheng Wenwen solemnly. When they parted, even though he was reluctant, he had nothing to say for a while.

"Take care of yourself!"

Cheng Wenwen nodded: "General, take care of yourself."

Qi Shuo let out a breath, looked at her for a moment, and finally made up his mind to let her go, turning around and leaving.

Cheng Wenwen watched Qi Shuo leave, and felt extremely strange.

Although she had weighed the pros and cons, she could not be completely heartless. After spending the past few months with Qi Shuo, she inevitably developed some feelings for him. Once he left, these feelings would not disappear immediately.

However, no one can live without anyone else. She just feels a little reluctant, and it will be fine after some time.

After dealing with her emotional affairs, Cheng Wenwen started to deal with business matters.

Her Cheng’s Pastry Shop has already prepared everything and is just waiting to open.

She came to the store and began to discuss the opening date and plans with Sister Gao.

Sister Gao smiled and said, "I asked someone to calculate, and five days from now is a good day to open the store."

Cheng Wenwen nodded, "The 18th is indeed a good day, and it sounds auspicious, but in addition to the opening, we have to do some grand opening promotions."

"What's the big reward?" Miss Gao had never heard of this term.

"On the first day of opening, we have to offer some benefits to attract customers."

"Is that so? Let me think about it..." Gao used to run a small business, and when she took care of old customers, she would occasionally give them a few extra cakes, so she said, "On the opening day, why don't we buy two and get one free?"

Cheng Wenwen nodded: "That's great. We can also set up a tasting booth outside the store and divide the desserts into small pieces for everyone to try. If they think they are delicious, they will naturally come to buy them."

"This method is good, but I'm afraid some people will take advantage of loopholes and only try the food without buying. What should we do then?" Sister Gao has been doing business for a long time and has encountered such people. They come every day to try the food but never buy. It's really annoying.

"Then we can only control the cost of the tasting and wait and see how things go after the restaurant opens! We'll make improvements then."

The two of them discussed the general idea and waited for the opening on the 18th.

……

When Cheng Wenwen has time, she goes to take a look at her newly bought house.

She bought a small house with two entrances in West City and hired servants, and had everything arranged in recent days.

Looking at the house that she had carefully decorated, Cheng Wenwen was very satisfied.

This is my home. Living here, I will no longer have to live under someone else's roof.

After walking around, Cheng Wenwen returned to the Cheng Mansion. She had to find a way to get out of the Cheng family.

Just as I returned home, someone came to call me.

"Fourth Miss, the old lady wants you to come over."

"understood."

Every time her grandmother called her, Cheng Wenwen felt that she was going to be scolded again.

She thought about it and decided to take this opportunity to tell her about moving out.

She followed all the way to Old Madam Cheng's yard.

When the old lady saw her, she got straight to the point and said, "My son-in-law has already left Beijing. You should go back as soon as possible. It's not a good thing for a couple to be too far apart!"

"Grandma, the general sympathized with me because I was far away from home, so he asked me to stay in the capital for a while longer."

Qi Shuo is gone, but he can also serve as his own shield.
