Reborn in the 1970s, remarried to a powerful but childless man, her scumbag husband is furious.

Since what happened with Fang Ting, no one has dared to question Wenrou's abilities anymore.

Fang Yuru is too busy taking care of herself to have any energy left to deal with Fang Ting's affairs.

Without her sister's help, Fang Ting was no longer as arrogant as before.

With no one causing trouble, Wenrou was happy to be at ease.

She's not in a hurry to work with the transport team anymore. She spends her days taking care of her children and cooking, and her life is much more comfortable than it was in the Gobi Desert.

Since moving into the compound, Tan Lin would come to see Wenrou every day when she had nothing to do.

The investigation into Commander Tan's case is still ongoing, and Tan Lin is also waiting for the results.

Wenrou knew that she could handle her own family matters, so she didn't interfere.

However, it has been almost a month since the second brother went back last time, and Tan Lin has also been living in the military compound for a month. The two of them have not been in contact at all, and Wenrou is worried about them.

"Sister Tan Lin, after you've dealt with things at home, what are your plans? Are you going back?" Wenrou couldn't help but ask with concern as she rarely went shopping with Tan Lin today.

"Okay, I'll go back and submit my resignation letter," Tan Lin said as she tried on the dress.

"Resign?" Wenrou looked shocked when she heard this.

Her previous company was quite good, so why did she resign so suddenly?

"Yes, I'm preparing to go back to Beijing for work. I've already found a job, similar to my previous one. I'll start working after I've taken care of things at home."

She didn't want to come back to Beijing before because it held bad memories for her and her mother. Now that she's dealing with family matters on her own, she has nothing to worry about anymore.

Besides, she also visited her maternal grandfather and uncles during her trip back.

Her grandfather is getting old, and she wants to stay in Beijing to spend more time with him, as a way of fulfilling her filial duty on behalf of her mother.

"That's great! We can go shopping together more often now." Wenrou was naturally happy for Tan Lin when she heard that she was going back to Beijing.

Tan Lin nodded, "Yes, it was because of your brother that I decided to return to Beijing."

With a gentle, questioning look, she asked, "My brother?"

Tan Lin didn't hide anything from Wen Rou, "It's his fault for looking down on me. I can even accept heartbreak, so what else can't I face?"

Wenrou knew that Tan Lin was proud and arrogant. Huo Yanchuan told her that she had been outstanding since childhood and that many people in school liked her.

This was the first time in years that she had liked someone so much, and she had put in a lot of effort for it, but in the end, she was still rejected by Wen Jinian.

It would be a lie to say that Tan Lin wasn't heartbroken. During her time with Wen Jinian in the Soviet Union, she could clearly feel that their relationship had grown much closer.

She could even sense that Wen Jinian wasn't entirely without feelings for her.

He would stand up for her when he was in danger, and when he had a cold and fever, even in a foreign country where he couldn't speak the language, he would run several streets to find a pharmacy to buy medicine for her.

She originally thought that they would naturally get together after returning to China, but unexpectedly, Wen Jinian became increasingly indifferent to her after returning to China for some reason.

This also made her feel that everything they had experienced in the Soviet Union was fake, and she couldn't accept that all her feelings had been invested in the end.

During this period, although Tan Lin pretended not to care on the surface, she had secretly cried in bed several times at night.

Seeing Tan Lin like this, Wenrou felt a little sorry for her.

"I'm sorry, Sister Tan Lin, my brother didn't mean to hurt you. All those things he went through..."

Wenrou wanted to apologize to Tan Lin on behalf of her second brother, but she stopped her.

"Stop! Why are you apologizing to me? This is between your second brother and me. It has nothing to do with you. Our relationship will not change. We're still best friends."

As Tan Lin spoke, she spotted another dress that caught her eye.

She then bought the two dresses, one of which was for Wenrou. After paying for it, she handed it to her.

"This is for you. Your birthday is coming up soon, so I'm wishing you a happy birthday in advance."

Wenrou was surprised that Tan Lin remembered her birthday. After a moment of surprise, Tan Lin stuffed the dress into her arms.

"Don't be so polite with me. I don't want to take back the gifts I've given. Your second brother has already hurt me; do you really want to refuse me too?"

Wenrou originally wanted to refuse, but after hearing what Tan Lin said, she was afraid that Tan Lin would be sad again, so she had no choice but to accept it.

"Okay, then I'll accept it. Thank you, Sister Tan Lin."

Wenrou and Tanlin strolled around for a while longer. No matter how many times they came to Wangfujing Department Store, it always felt very grand.

As the weather turned cooler, she bought seasonal clothes for all her children.

After buying the clothes, Tan Lin dragged Wen Rou to the hair salon.

"You haven't done your hair in ages, have you? Come on, it's on me today, let's get a perm."

Wenrou knows that perms are all the rage now, and you can see curly hair everywhere on the street. Paired with a floral dress, it looks very stylish.

Aside from cutting her hair short, she never styled it.

She usually finds it troublesome and just ties her hair into a simple ponytail.

Wenrou hadn't planned to get her hair done today, but Tan Lin dragged her in anyway.

After the two of them finished getting their hair done, their auras instantly changed.

Tan Lin also has a lot of connections in Beijing. The hairdresser she hired has styled celebrities on TV. He gave Wenrou a perm with curly hair, while Tan Lin got big waves, both of which suited their respective styles.

Wenrou's hair wasn't long, draped over her shoulders. She wore a light-colored dress, and the curly hair that would look plain on others suddenly looked stunning on her.

She was already beautiful with fair skin, but now she looks much more radiant and alluring. Even the hairdresser couldn't help but praise her when she stood there.

"Sister Tan Lin, do I really look good like this?" Wenrou asked somewhat awkwardly as she stepped out of the hair salon, noticing that many people were staring at her.

Tan Lin, on the other hand, looked confident. "Believe me, you're prettier than any of the celebrities on TV right now. If you added a pair of high heels, you'd be even more stunning. You'd definitely seduce that guy Huo Yanchuan."

Hearing this, Wenrou was also half-believing and half-doubting.

As soon as the two entered the military compound, many people looked in their direction.

When Wenrou returned home, both children were stunned, thinking that some stranger had entered their house.

Once they saw Wenrou clearly, they ran towards her this time.

"Mom, you look so beautiful today."

"She's prettier than everyone on TV, I love her so much."

Wenrou couldn't help but smile when she heard the two little girls' praise.

Looking at Wenrou, Wen Shuzhen couldn't help but praise her, "You really look good. Young people should dress like this, instead of dressing up like an old woman all the time."

Looking gently at herself in the mirror, she felt she looked better than before.

If she hadn't suddenly changed her look today, she wouldn't have realized that her previous outfits did indeed make her look a bit old-fashioned.

When Huo Yanchuan returned that evening, he was surprised to see Wenrou like this.

He knew his wife was beautiful, but he didn't expect her to be so gorgeous after just a little dressing up. He was so stunned by her beauty that he couldn't help but be amazed.

After dinner, once Wenrou had finished showering, he couldn't wait to go up and hug her.

"Honey, you look beautiful today."

If his aunt and the two children hadn't been there, he would have picked them up long ago.

Tonight, he made a point of letting the two children sleep with Wen Shuzhen so that he could get along well with Wen Rou.

"You're a father of two now, and you still don't act like a proper person," Wenrou said, unable to help but speak up when she saw his anxious expression.

Huo Yanchuan smiled and kissed her cheek. "Why do you have to be so serious in front of me? Don't tell me you don't like me like this."

Wenrou fell silent upon seeing this. It wasn't that she didn't want to speak, but Huo Yanchuan's kiss had left her too weak to even utter a word.

More than an hour later, she was exhausted and covered in sweat, collapsing into Huo Yanchuan's arms.

"I'm not going to work tomorrow, I'm taking you somewhere," Huo Yanchuan said gently as he held her close.

Wenrou looked up at him and asked, "Where are you?"

"You'll find out tomorrow," Huo Yanchuan said, keeping everyone in suspense.

The next morning, Huo Yanchuan took the two children to the old man's place, while he and Wenrou left the military compound.

When she arrived at the location, Wenrou realized that it was a photo studio. She had passed by here the last time she came to Beijing and saw people taking wedding photos.

"Why did you bring me here?" Wenrou asked after a moment of surprise.

Huo Yanchuan carried a bag in one hand and held Wenrou's hand with the other as they walked inside.

"Of course, we came here to take pictures."

He had already made an appointment with the photo studio owner to take photos only for them today.

Wenrou was pulled up to the second floor by him, where she saw all kinds of wedding dresses, which dazzled her.

"Take a look and see which one you like. Let's take a set of wedding photos today."

Huo Yanchuan approached the wedding dress with tenderness. This was a moment that others had when they got married, but they were finally having this opportunity.

Huo Yanchuan always felt indebted to Wenrou. When they got married, they only registered their marriage; there was no wedding, no ceremony, let alone wedding photos.

Now he can only try his best to make up for it and doesn't want to have any regrets.

Wenrou had only ever seen other people take wedding photos before; she never imagined it would be her turn now.

She looked around and finally chose one with a simple and elegant style.

She's past the age of wearing bright colors; the simplest style is the most beautiful.

While Huo Yanchuan and Wenrou went to try on wedding dresses, he also went into the room next door.

After Wenrou changed into her wedding dress and came down, everyone else in the bridal shop looked surprised.

With her hair gently pulled back, even the simplest style looks incredibly sophisticated on her.

"It's so beautiful!"

"This is so beautiful, it makes me want to take wedding photos too."

Those around couldn't help but sigh. Wenrou, with a faint smile on her face, looked around but couldn't find Huo Yanchuan.

She waited there for a while, and then she heard a gasp from the side.

She looked toward the stairs and saw Huo Yanchuan wearing a formal military uniform, a military cap, and his chest covered with medals, all of which he had earned for his merits in the army.

The four-pocketed officer's uniform was neat and tidy, and the tailoring accentuated his tall and slender figure.

The man has broad shoulders and a straight back, exuding an aura of authority honed through years of battlefield experience.

He appeared composed and relaxed, with striking features and a military uniform that accentuated his extraordinary bearing, making him impossible to look away from.

This was the first time Wenrou had ever seen Huo Yanchuan in such a formal military uniform, and she was momentarily stunned.

She had seen similar uniforms before when she was in the military, but they were all camouflage combat uniforms, none of which were as formal as today's.

When she arrived, she saw Huo Yanchuan carrying a bag, but she didn't expect it to contain all of his medals of honor.

The people around Huo Yanchuan were so startled by his appearance that they held their breath and even forgot why they had come there in the first place.

When they saw Huo Yanchuan walking towards Wenrou, everyone else cast envious glances at her.

It was also Wenrou and Huo Yanchuan's first time taking wedding photos, and neither of them looked very natural. Finally, with the photographer's guidance, they managed to take a very satisfactory photo.

The wedding photos won't be ready for a few more days, so after the photoshoot, they went inside to change back into their old clothes.

After leaving the photo studio, Huo Yanchuan took Wenrou to the department store.

I had promised her that I would buy her earrings as a birthday present.

Huo Yanchuan took Wenrou directly to the jewelry store, where he not only picked out a pair of earrings, but also a ring and a necklace for her.

Wenrou didn't stand on ceremony with him and picked out all the ones with the largest weight.

Huo Yanchuan was happiest when he bought things for Wenrou, even though he was worried that Wenrou wouldn't be willing to buy them.

But seeing how happy she was with her choice, he was finally relieved.

Just as the two had finished choosing their things and were about to head back, they ran into Zhou Dayong again, by sheer coincidence.

At this moment, Zhou Dayong was standing at the silver jewelry stall, hesitating whether to return what he was holding.

The pair of silver earrings he bought for Wenrou last time had already cost him a lot of money, but Wenrou refused to accept them, and he had no use for them if he kept them.

He spent more than a month's salary to buy these earrings, so after thinking it over, he came here to return them.

A month's salary wouldn't have meant much to him before, but now it's enough for several months' worth of food.

After paying for food, he sent all the rest of his salary back home.

His parents' health is deteriorating, and he has two younger brothers to support. If he doesn't send money back home, his family will have no way to survive.

As Zhou Dayong hesitated at the door, he turned around and saw Wenrou and Huo Yanchuan walking out of the gold jewelry store next door.

He looked at the things Wenrou was carrying, then at the silver earrings he had bought for her, and suddenly felt a wave of shame wash over him, wishing he could disappear into nowhere.

Just when he thought Wenrou and Huo Yanchuan were going to humiliate him, the two walked past him as if they hadn't seen him at all.

At this moment, Zhou Dayong realized that he was the one who couldn't get over the past. In Wenrou's eyes, he was not even as good as a stranger.
