Mo Junhua woke up and didn’t say a word, just looked at her coldly, the gaze was too penetrating, as though he had long seen through everything she had done.
Zhou Yuwei knelt down crying and pleading with him, "Junhua, I love you so much, that’s why I did this. Can you forgive me? I’m already your woman; please don’t abandon me. Wuuu, I know what I did was wrong, I’m sorry to your wife, I’m sorry for letting you down. You must despise me now, but I just love you too much, I can’t live without you, I really don’t want anything, truly, I don’t want anything, and I won’t compete with your wife for anything, you have to believe me."
"Okay, I believe you." Perhaps touched by Zhou Yuwei’s declaration of love, Mo Junhua finally nodded.
Zhou Yuwei got what she wished for and moved into Mo Junhua’s house in the military base; soon after, she bore him a son. Having a son made Zhou Yuwei gradually less content.
The two lived together but weren’t married; since the time he got drunk, Mo Junhua had not shared a bed with her. It was a pain that Zhou Yuwei held within her heart and couldn’t express because, outside, Mo Junhua respected her a lot and gave her plenty of face. Everyone who saw her would come up with a smile and address her as the Commander’s wife, yet she was living like a widow without a man.
Zhou Yuwei could endure all of this, but her son couldn’t live without a legitimate status, living like an illegitimate child. She hinted to Mo Junhua, in all ways, hoping he would divorce his wife and marry her. In that way, her son would have legitimacy and truly become Mo Junhua’s child.
On this matter, Mo Junhua was stubborn. Every time she mentioned it, Mo Junhua would stay away for days.
Looking at the report thrown on the table, Mo Junhua’s expression was cold as he asked the guard he had personally trained, "Who is it this time?"
After the doctor told Mo Junhua that his wife couldn’t have children, he had a vasectomy as a courtesy to Lan Tian. He thought he wouldn’t have the fortune of descendants in this life anyway. Having a vasectomy was a way to account to Lan Tian.
He had never touched Zhou Yuwei, and when he learned of her pregnancy, it really surprised him. Investigations revealed that the father of her first child was actually her ex-husband; the two of them must have gotten together again at some point.
"Commander, must you do it this way? There are many ways to take revenge on her; why sacrifice yourself? You do care about the lady, yet you pretend to be cold, making her more afraid and even less likely to approach you."
Yes, the junior wife was even more afraid of him now. When he returned home, to avoid him, she would stay in her room all day and wouldn’t come out until he left.
Mo Junhua remained silent, knowing that only by taking away what Zhou Yuwei cared about the most could she understand the pain he felt at the beginning. He didn’t care at all about who the father of her child was.
Of course, he wouldn’t let off anyone who dared to cuckold him, even if only in name, now that this woman claimed to be his.
The second child was born—a daughter. With one son and one daughter, it was a ’good’ combination, which had a nice connotation. Mo Junhua thought Zhou Yuwei was good too, and having a pair of children was even better.
When he returned to the compound and saw the junior wife lonely under the lamplight, Mo Junhua stood watching from a dark corner, staying there until she turned off the light and went back to her room. Only then did Mo Junhua enter.
Watching them since they were born, babbling their first words to growing up, attending primary school, junior high, and high school, Mo Junhua never interfered.
Mo Junhua always knew that Zhou Yuwei was a ruthless and decisive woman.
The young girl Taohua, whom he had brought from the village, often made it difficult for Zhou Yuwei behind the scenes, and managed to dig up evidence of Zhou Yuwei’s promiscuous behavior with men during her teenage years. This caused a stir in the army and made Zhou Yuwei lose face, ruining her reputation overnight.
The Military Wives who were close to her quickly distanced themselves from her, fearing her troubles would fall upon them.
During that time, Zhou Yuwei had a rough time, scared and panicked, like a rat crossing the street, being chased by everyone. The incident caused a bad influence in the troops, and the leadership, with reason and emotion, persuaded her to leave the army.
Both women were no easy game, and Mo Junhua was happy to watch them fight it out, like a dog-eat-dog fight. In the end, it was Zhou Yuwei who proved more ruthless. She found her ex-husband, spent a night with him, and he dealt with Taohua for her, eventually also forcing Taohua to leave the army.
He didn’t expect this woman, brash and reckless, to go to the compound while he was out on a military exercise, drove Lan Tian away with the most laughable reason: His junior wife and he didn’t really count as married, because a real married couple would have a marriage certificate, and they didn’t have one at all.
