Chapter 208

When Zhou Fangjun heard someone was waiting for her, her first instinct was that it was her husband, and she felt a deep sense of revulsion. For years, he had been unable to distance himself from that woman, and she, in turn, could not calmly accept her—even if the woman was the widow of her husband's comrade-in-arms.
