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

After listening to what Wenrou said, Huo Yanchuan looked into her eyes and asked, "What is the root of your heartache?"

His heartache is her, isn't it?

He did have a psychological trauma from that kind of thing before, but now...

He was unsure whether he was better or not.

Seeing that Huo Yanchuan was silent, Wenrou assumed he was still thinking about his heartache, so she comforted him, "Don't overthink it. It's not as serious as you think. You'll definitely get better."

"You're right, a mental illness requires a mental cure. I've also heard that the most effective treatment for this kind of thing is desensitization therapy, and I've already found a way to treat it."

Huo Yanchuan stared at Wenrou with his deep eyes for a while, a faint, meaningful smile appearing on his lips.

"Huh? Really?" When Wenrou heard that Huo Yanchuan had found a solution, she was not only surprised but also happy for him.

Huo Yanchuan's lips curled up slightly. "I'm not really sure either, but we'll know once we go back and try."

Wenrou nodded subconsciously, but she didn't understand what he meant by "give it a try".

That evening, Wenrou had just finished showering and gotten into bed when she saw Huo Yanchuan follow her into the room.

Since they slept in the same bed last time, they seem to have gotten used to sleeping like that.

Seeing that Huo Yanchuan had no intention of changing back, Wenrou didn't say anything.

Otherwise, what if I actually open my mouth and Huo Yanchuan misunderstands that I dislike him?

Wenrou moved slightly to the side, and Huo Yanchuan sat down next to her.

Thinking about the desensitization therapy he mentioned this afternoon, Wenrou asked with genuine curiosity, "What kind of desensitization therapy are you talking about?"

Huo Yanchuan hadn't expected Wenrou to ask this. He turned to look at her. "You want to know?"

Seeing his reaction, Wenrou became even more curious and nodded.

But at that moment, a large hand wrapped around her waist. Wenrou was startled and felt the hand on her waist, and her whole body stiffened.

"What...what are you doing?" she asked instinctively, her eyes wide.

"Desensitization therapy." Huo Yanchuan had barely uttered these words when he gently pulled Wenrou onto his lap with both hands.

"Huo..." Wenrou was completely stunned. She was just about to call his name when she felt a hand on the back of her head. Then the man pressed down and kissed her.

When Wenrou came to her senses, Huo Yanchuan put his arm around her waist and kissed her passionately.

Her eyes widened even more than before, she was not even prepared, and she never expected that Huo Yanchuan would kiss her first.

The man's kiss was hot and possessive, almost sucking the air out of her lungs.

She was usually quite strong, but at this moment, she was completely restrained by Huo Yanchuan's two hands and couldn't move at all.

It was only then that Wenrou realized the man's domineering nature; his kiss seemed to be a declaration of ownership.

The man only let her go when she felt dizzy and as if she was about to faint from suffocation.

At this moment, Wenrou's cheeks were flushed from lack of oxygen, she was breathing slightly, and her eyes were red.

In Huo Yanchuan's eyes, she looked more charming than usual.

"You..." After Wenrou finally calmed down, she looked at Huo Yanchuan and realized that this was what he meant by desensitization therapy.

She became a tool for Huo Yanchuan's treatment?

Because of what happened before, she was already averse to physical contact with the opposite sex.

But just now, she didn't feel uncomfortable at all, nor did she have any resistance to Huo Yanchuan; in fact... she even enjoyed it a little.

Thinking of this, Wenrou's face turned even redder.

Although that night was her first time with that man, she had no memory of it at all because she had been drugged.

This is the first time she has truly felt this way. Perhaps it's because the other person is Huo Yanchuan that she doesn't feel any resistance.

But the thought of this made her feel a little resentful.

She meant well by wanting to find someone to treat Huo Yanchuan's illness, but she ended up getting herself involved instead.

She looked up at Huo Yanchuan, somewhat skeptical, and asked, "Desensitization therapy, is it working?"

Huo Yanchuan originally thought Wenrou would be angry, and he was even prepared, but he didn't expect that she would still be thinking about treating his illness at this time.

It's undeniable that his body did react somewhat when he kissed her just now.

"Hmm, not bad." Huo Yanchuan nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile.

Seeing the smile on his face, Wenrou felt that something was off, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

As it was getting late, Wenrou was just about to go to sleep when she looked down and noticed that the buttons on her chest had been undone.

She turned around and lay down with her back to Huo Yanchuan, then slowly buttoned her clothes back up.

This was the first time Huo Yanchuan had seen her like this, so feminine. Seeing the shy look on her face, his smile grew wider and wider.

Although Wenrou had her back to Huo Yanchuan and her eyes closed, her heart was still pounding. After a while, she heard the man's breathing.

After he fell asleep, she slowly got up and changed into a close-fitting dress.

My clothes were soaked with sweat and felt sticky and uncomfortable against my skin.

After she changed her clothes and lay back down on the bed, sleepiness gradually crept in, and she soon fell asleep.

Once she was completely asleep, the man next to her opened his eyes.

He was worried that Wenrou would feel awkward, so he pretended to be asleep.

Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, he reached out and hugged her. Inhaling her faint fragrance, he gradually fell asleep as well.

Wenrou slept until almost noon the next morning. When she woke up, Huo Yanchuan had already gone to the army base.

After she got up, she realized that she hadn't washed the clothes she had taken off last night. Just as she was about to take the clothes to wash, she found that the place where she had put the clothes yesterday was empty.

When she came out, she saw that all the clothes had been washed and hung up.

Upon seeing this, Wenrou's eyes widened immediately.

Her clothes were all close-fitting, including her tank top and underwear, all of which had been thoroughly washed.

The thought of the man washing her clothes with his somewhat rough hands, especially her underwear, made Wenrou feel her cheeks flush for a moment.

Just then, a voice came from the doorway.

Huo Yanchuan saw that Wenrou was awake, so he put the lunchbox on the table.

"Don't cook lunch today. I got some food for you from the cafeteria, so you can eat it while it's hot."

As Huo Yanchuan spoke, he placed the lunchbox on the table, opened it for her, and even brought her chopsticks.

Wenrou walked over and sat down in the chair. Looking at the food in front of her, she realized she was indeed hungry.

At that moment, she didn't care about anything else; filling her stomach was the most important thing.

"Have you eaten?" Seeing Huo Yanchuan sitting beside her watching her eat, she gently looked up and asked.

"Yes, I've already eaten."

As Huo Yanchuan spoke, he took out envelopes from his pocket and handed them to her.

Gently swallowed the food in her mouth, looked at the envelope on the table, and asked in confusion, "What's this?"

"A bonus, a reward from the military," Huo Yanchuan said with a smile.

Although they successfully completed their mission, they owed a great deal to Wenrou. Without her, the brothers might not have made it back.

This was a bonus he specifically applied for from his superiors, reserved for Wenrou.

Wenrou looked at the stack of ten-yuan notes in the envelope, her eyes shining.

"So much prize money?"

"Are they all for me?"

Wenrou never expected to receive a reward.

Seeing how happy she was, Huo Yanchuan stood up and took out a brown paper bag from the drawer of the second bedroom. Inside were all his assets in Beijing.

He picked this up when he went to Beijing last time. He originally wanted to give it to Wenrou, but too many things have happened these days, so it was delayed.

"Here, take this."

"What's this?" Wenrou took the brown paper bag with a puzzled look, and after opening it, she was stunned on the spot.

This contains the land deeds for several properties in Beijing, including two courtyard houses, and a savings account with 10,000 yuan in it.

She had never seen so much money, not even in her past life, let alone in this one.

"Where...where did you get so much money, and a land deed?"

"These were all passed down from my ancestors and are now under my name. I'm handing them all over to you now," Huo Yanchuan explained gently.

"Leave it to me?" Wenrou looked at him, still a little confused.

So much money and land deeds were given to her?

Isn't he afraid she'll take all these things and run away?

"You're my wife, what's mine is yours. I trust you completely," Huo Yanchuan said earnestly, looking at her.

He hadn't really cared about these assets, thinking they wouldn't affect him much.

Their family was almost reported before because of these things.

If it weren't for his grandfather's medals, his family would probably have been sent to the countryside like Professor Peng's family.

He spent most of his time in the military, so these things were basically useless to him. Over the years, he had even forgotten that he owned these assets.

But things are different now. He feels that these things are more effective when entrusted to Wenrou than to him.

"No, these were left to you by your family, I can't accept them." Wenrou hurriedly refused after hearing Huo Yanchuan's words.

Besides, given their current situation, they'll get divorced sooner or later anyway, and then it'll be difficult to settle accounts.

"We are a legally married couple, so my assets are naturally yours. You don't need to feel any burden unless you are still thinking about divorcing me, which is why you refuse to accept this."

Huo Yanchuan immediately understood Wenrou's thoughts.

Wenrou was speechless after her secret thoughts were exposed.

"I...I didn't mean that, I..."

In the past, she and Huo Yanchuan didn't have much affection for each other, so divorce was inevitable.

But now, even she herself doesn't know if she can still resolutely walk away without looking back if they really get divorced.

"Xiaorou, our marriage is a military marriage. Unless I sacrifice myself, the military will not agree to a divorce. Therefore, you can only be my wife, Huo Yanchuan's wife, for the rest of your life."

Huo Yanchuan felt he needed to remind her, so she wouldn't think about divorce all the time.

"Huh?" Wenrou tilted her head back, staring blankly at Huo Yanchuan.

Are military marriages really that difficult to end?

So, when Huo Yanchuan decided to marry her, was he thinking of spending his whole life with her?

"So, I trust you with this." After saying that, Huo Yanchuan once again entrusted all his assets to Wenrou.

This is all he has, and all he can give her right now.

"I..." Wenrou was still hesitating whether to accept it or not, but Huo Yanchuan forcefully stuffed it into her hand without allowing her to refuse.

She had never thought about spending her life with Huo Yanchuan, but now she had to seriously consider it.

Looking at the things in her hands, she realized that this man had all his wealth, and the fact that he was willing to entrust them to her showed his trust in him.

Since he dared to give her everything he owned, what was she worried about?

If we really can't get a divorce, spending my life with him doesn't seem so bad.

Even after Huo Yanchuan left, Wenrou was still not in the mood to react to what had just happened.

After she finally accepted the role of Huo Yanchuan's wife, she put all her things away and carefully placed them in the cabinet.

However, she never expected that Huo Yanchuan was so rich.

When I married him, who would have thought that this man was a hidden tycoon with several properties in Beijing?

Let alone all the houses in Beijing, even just one house would be enough for them to live on for the rest of their lives.

In later times, ordinary people simply couldn't afford houses in Beijing; a courtyard house could sell for tens or even hundreds of millions of yuan.

If Huo Yanchuan knew how valuable these things in his possession would be, would he regret handing them over to me?

After dinner, Wenrou had nothing to do and was just about to sit down and watch TV for a while when she heard someone calling for her at the door.

She went outside and saw Peng Shao.

Peng Shao came to say goodbye to Wenrou. He had already been delayed for a long time by going home and had no choice but to leave.

However, he was a little worried about his father and Peng Xiaowan, so he thought of Wenrou.

"You're leaving?" Wenrou was surprised to hear that Peng Shao was leaving, but it was also expected.

He's a future billionaire, an electronics tycoon, and the youngest and most outstanding entrepreneur; naturally, he can't stay here forever.

"Well, after I leave, I'll have to trouble you to take care of my father and Xiao Wan for me." Peng Shao nodded, speaking somewhat hesitantly.

"Don't worry, even if you don't say anything, I'll still help take care of it." Wenrou readily agreed.

"Thank you," Peng Shao said, relieved to hear her say that.

He believed in her gentle nature; since she had promised, she would definitely keep her word.

As he was leaving, Peng Shao brought up the pocket watch again.

"My mother left me that pocket watch. She should have told you everything, right? There are other things she left behind in the house. Here is the address. We'll leave those things to you as our family's way of thanking you."

After Peng Shao finished speaking, he slipped a note into Wenrou's hand, turned around, and left.
