After Three Years as a Widow, She Marries a Powerful, Childless Man

"Let's get divorced!"

On the night the educated youth returned to the city, Bai Xiaojun saw her husband passionately kissing his beloved in public. She neither cried nor made a scene. Instead, she asked for a divorce, ending three years of a marriage in which she had been left alone like a widow.

Everyone was in an uproar! Who didn't know that Bai Xiaojun loved Lu Yuheng desperately, with no self-respect or temper to speak of? She had even given up her chance to attend university for him. If she left Lu Yuheng, she'd come crawling back and beg to reconcile within two days.

But three months later, the wedding banners in the military compound were a brilliant, eye-catching red. Military jeeps arrived one after another to fetch the bride, and Shen Jinye, the fearsome and ruthless devil of the military district, knelt on one knee to put wedding shoes on his new wife.

"Comrade Bai Xiaojun, you're the only woman I'll ever choose!"

Everyone said Commander Shen had married a divorced woman of questionable virtue, and felt he had been wronged.

It wasn't until Bai Xiaojun stunned delegates from four countries with her fluent, flawless simultaneous interpretation at a diplomatic conference, a machinery plant begged her to translate the manuals for its imported equipment, and international media rushed to interview the "most beautiful interpreter," that they realized just how wrong they had been!

Later, everyone laughed that Commander Shen was destined to have no heirs. What good was it that his wife was so outstanding if she couldn't bear him children?

But behind closed doors in the dead of night, the iron-willed man who had broken three ribs on the battlefield without shedding a tear was kissing his wife's belly, his voice trembling. "Honey, the doctor says it's twins..."

The woman, tears glistening at the corners of her eyes, gave him a light kick. "You jerk, didn't you say you couldn't have children?"
