Chapter 30 How did you know my size?
After getting home, Wenrou quickly boiled a pot of water, preparing to take a bath later.
These past few days, staying in that gloomy, sunless place, she felt like she was about to get moldy.
After Huo Yanchuan went home with her, he gave her all the things she had asked him to buy last time.
"Take a look, if you need anything else, just tell me, and I'll bring it back for you next time I go to the city." Huo Yanchuan's expression was somewhat unnatural as he spoke.
He didn't know that the person from three months ago was Wenrou, yet he could still get along with her so easily.
But now, the thought that she is carrying his child makes him think back to that night.
Most importantly, he was the one who was forced into it.
This was something he couldn't accept, either psychologically or physiologically, for a while.
Seeing what she wanted, Wenrou's face was full of joy.
"Thanks."
She looked at the face cream. She had never had the chance to use it in her previous life. In this life, she was determined to take good care of her skin, dress up nicely, and take good care of herself.
When she saw the wool coat that Huo Yanchuan had bought for her, Wenrou tried it on and found that it fit her perfectly.
"How did you know my size?" she asked, turning her head.
Huo Yanchuan met her gaze and subconsciously looked away.
He casually replied, "Just a guess."
Having spent so many days with her, he could roughly tell her size just by looking at her.
Wenrou looked at him with some confusion, feeling that Huo Yanchuan's gaze towards her had changed.
But she didn't know what was different; she just felt something was strange.
"I'm sorry, my situation has affected you as well." Wenrou apologized with some remorse after hearing that Huo Yanchuan had been removed from his position as regimental commander in the past few days.
She didn't mean to hide it from him; she was just thinking of finding an opportunity to tell him, but she didn't expect the Zhou family to arrive so quickly.
"It's alright, it's good that you've been cleared of suspicion." Huo Yanchuan met the gentle and apologetic look in her eyes, a hint of guilt flashing in her eyes.
He also bears some responsibility for this, so it's not her fault.
Hearing Huo Yanchuan's words, Wenrou felt even worse.
Since she married Huo Yanchuan, he has always protected her and treated her very well.
This time, he personally helped her with everything, which made her really not know how to thank him enough.
Anyway, she'll be here for a long time, so she can figure out a way to repay him slowly later.
"Sister-in-law, you've suffered these past few days," Hao Gang said at this moment.
Wenrou shook her head. "Thank you for your help too."
She knew that if it weren't for the intelligence team members constantly searching for evidence for her these past few days, she wouldn't have been released so quickly.
"By the way, does Zhou Chunmei have a crush on you?" Wenrou suddenly remembered Zhou Chunmei's shy expression in front of Hao Gang earlier and couldn't help but ask.
"Huh? She's interested in me? I hadn't noticed that." Hao Gang said, belatedly realizing with a shocked expression.
He had witnessed Zhou Chunmei's outburst last time, and he didn't want to get involved with anyone from the Zhou family.
Besides, he already disliked Zhou Dayong, so he was even less likely to have any relationship with his sister.
However, with this gentle reminder, it seems he should be more careful in the future and try to stay away from Zhou Chunmei.
"I'm just reminding you, there are a lot of people and eyes in the family compound. If you're not interested in her, you should make it clear to her as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late once she starts bothering you."
The Zhou family members knew better than anyone what kind of gentle people they were, so they kindly gave them a reminder.
"I'll be careful, thank you, sister-in-law." Hao Gang nodded.
Hao Gang didn't stay long and left quickly, while Huo Yanchuan went into his room and was busy with something.
At this time, Zhou Dayong returned and learned that Wenrou had been released. He was shocked and simply could not believe that Wenrou had no connection with that spy.
Everyone in the village saw it; she slept with that spy and is now pregnant with his child. How could there be no connection?
But now the higher-ups have made it clear that the suspicion against Wenrou has been cleared, and no one is allowed to mention this matter again, otherwise it will be considered slander.
Zhou Dayong was furious. Not only was Wenrou involved, but Huo Yanchuan was also reinstated to his original position.
He originally thought he could use this incident to bring down Huo Yanchuan, and also to gain merit by restoring him to his original position.
He never expected that all his efforts would come to nothing, which he just couldn't understand.
"Now that Wenrou has been released, we won't have the money. How am I supposed to go to school?"
Zhou Chunmei couldn't accept this news. Even if she didn't go to school, she could use that money to find a good job.
Thinking of this, she suddenly looked at Shen Qingshuang.
My sister-in-law's family is from Beijing, they're so rich, giving her some money shouldn't be a problem.
So she went over, reached out and took Shen Qingshuang's arm, and took the initiative to say nice things.
"Sister-in-law, I didn't mean to not help you just now. It's just that you know I like Deputy Battalion Commander Hao. I can't say anything bad about him in front of him, or it will ruin his good impression of me."
Shen Qingshuang pulled her arm away, snorted, and said disdainfully, "Someone like you wants to seduce Hao Gang? Don't you even know your own worth?"
Shen Qingshuang was telling the truth. Hao Gang's family was well-off, so how could he possibly be interested in Zhou Chunmei?
How can you talk like that? I'm not bad off either.
Zhou Chunmei was very confident in her looks and temperament; all the bachelors in the village stared at her.
Besides, she only graduated from junior high school and is educated.
Shen Qingshuang looked her up and down, wondering where her confidence came from.
Seeing this, He Cuihua also came over to speak up for her daughter.
"Qingshuang, if you can bring Chunmei and that Deputy Battalion Commander Hao together, our family will have two officers in the future, which will also help Dayong's career."
Shen Qingshuang glanced at them, then looked at Zhou Dayong, indicating that she wanted him to speak.
Zhou Dayong looked at Zhou Chunmei, frowned and said, "Don't even think about Hao Gang. I don't get along with him, and he wouldn't even look at you."
When Zhou Chunmei heard that none of them supported her, not only Shen Qingshuang, but even her eldest brother was no longer on her side, she was furious.
Just as Wenrou had finished boiling the water, filled the washbasin with hot water, closed the door, and taken off her clothes to take a shower, there was a knock on the door.
She had no choice but to put on her coat, open the door, and see Huo Yanchuan standing outside.
She had just taken off her inner clothes, even her underwear, and her outer clothes were draped crookedly over her body. Finding it troublesome, she only opened the door a crack, wanting to ask Huo Yanchuan what was wrong.
But when she looked down, Huo Yanchuan saw her fair and delicate skin on her chest and immediately felt embarrassed.
