A scumbag man trying to climb the social ladder? She turns around and marries a celibate military of

Chu Junbai's dark eyes were deep and unfathomable. He stared at her for a moment before looking away.

At this moment, An Muxue came out of Chu Junbai's room, her eyes were red and her cheeks were still wet with tears.

Upon seeing Mu Xiaowan, An Muxue's face instantly changed several colors.

That bitch found out about her most humiliating moment.

An Muxue instantly became furious and embarrassed, pointing at Mu Xiaowan in astonishment, "You were eavesdropping on our conversation?"

She looked as if she had committed some heinous crime.

Mu Xiaowan looked innocent. "Would you believe me if I said I just came out of my room?"

If she had known that An Muxue was in Chu Junbai's room, she would never have gone to find Chu Junbai at this time, even if she were beaten to death.

Just as An Muxue was looking for an excuse, she asked Chu Junbai in a sweet voice, "Brother Junbai, did you see that? Is she really the person you want? You want to be with her for the rest of your life."

Chu Junbai's face remained expressionless. "Go wash your face and go home first!"

Chu Junbai had no romantic feelings for An Muxue, but since An Muxue had grown up with him and had never done anything inappropriate, he couldn't bear to blame her.

It's rare to see Chu Junbai showing such tenderness.

Mu Xiaowan stood quietly in place, like a bystander watching the drama unfold.

Seeing that Chu Junbai was determined, An Muxue angrily turned and ran away.

She was afraid that if she didn't run away soon, she would turn around and tear that country bumpkin to pieces.

If that happens, it will ruin the beautiful image she has in Chu Junbai's heart.

She should try to persuade Grandma Chu again; maybe Grandma Chu will take her side.

Little did she know, Old Madam Chu wanted her to marry Chu Shaoze, so why would she help her?

She will only be met with disappointment and despair.

"You're looking for me."

Chu Junbai wasn't asking.

Mu Xiaowan then realized that he must have seen through her lie.

"Ok!"

"Come in and talk!"

Mu Xiaowan went inside and closed the door.

She wanted to ask Chu Junbai what he meant by what he said that day. She had originally planned to find Chu Junbai after dinner to clarify things, since it's always better to explain things clearly, and cooperation should be done with a cooperative attitude. However, Chu Junbai left right then and there.

"Please sit wherever you like!"

This was the first time Mu Xiaowan had entered Chu Junbai's room.

Because of the nature of Chu Junbai's work, no one in his family would enter his room without his permission.

This room will be their wedding room, but since Chu Junbai is not here, the wedding supplies bought yesterday have not been furnished.

Chu Junbai is back today, so he'll probably tidy up this place soon.

Chu Junbai's room was simply furnished. There was a bookshelf against the wall, next to a large maroon painted table and a chair of the same color. There was also an ashtray on the table with a cigarette butt inside.

On the other side, against the wall, there was a wardrobe, next to the bed, and two bedside tables.

The room was very tidy and clean, and Zhang Ma couldn't get in, so it was probably Chu Junbai who cleaned it himself.

There was also a clothes rack with a vertical fork placed by the door.

Mu Xiaowan glanced at it. Sitting on the bed would seem a bit frivolous, after all, the two of them weren't married yet.

The only chair she could sit on was the one next to the desk. However, areas near the desk were considered sensitive, so she was advised against doing so.

Mu Xiaowan slowly walked to the window.

She glanced out the window. Chu Junbai's house was at the back, and from the window, she could see a main road. On the other side of the road were also villas arranged in a pleasing, staggered pattern.

Those who can live here are not ordinary people.

Mu Xiaowan withdrew her gaze and returned to the main topic.

"I came to ask you, what did you mean by 'getting more from you' that afternoon...?"

Mu Xiaowan wanted to ask what he meant, but before she could finish speaking, Chu Junbai interrupted her.

He needed to get back to his unit quickly, so he kept it brief: "It's true, don't doubt it. I always keep my word. If you don't believe me, supplement the contract. I'm coming back to pick something up and go back to the unit. I'll probably be back around 3 o'clock. I'll sign it when I get back."

Mu Xiaowan was completely confused by Chu Junbai's words.

Chu Junbai, however, believed that Mu Xiaowan was fully aware of the situation.

Chu Junbai handed the written contract to Mu Xiaowan.

Since Mu Xiaowan came to him, it meant she had made up her mind. Since she had made up her mind, he had nothing to hide and would just tell her directly.

He paused for a moment, then, remembering that Mu Xiaowan was illiterate, he added, "You can ask Xiaohui..." Realizing that he couldn't let others know about this, he changed his mind, "I'll read it to you after I'm done."

Mu Xiaowan can't portray herself as illiterate; it would make it difficult for her to carry out her work.

She quickly replied, "I can recognize some."

"You can have whatever you want, but I have a condition: you have to tell me what your second uncle and aunt and Chu Shaoze are up to."

"Huh? You want me to monitor my second uncle's family? Aren't you overestimating my abilities?" Mu Xiaowan was a little confused by the sudden assignment.

Is this related to what she asked Chu Junbai?

Why did Chu Junbai ask her to monitor his second uncle's family?

Chu Junbai continued to instruct, "No need to be deliberate. If your second aunt asks you about me, you can tell her anything, no matter how small." Anyway, Mu Xiaowan wouldn't know anything involving secrets. If everyday trivialities could be exchanged for important information, what's wrong with reporting how many times he went to the toilet?

"That's it?"

Chu Junbai nodded as he put on his coat.

"If I do these things well, you'll agree to anything I want to do?"

Chu Junbai paused for a moment, then added, "Apart from myself, you can do whatever you want."

"Okay, deal!"

Since that's the case... then what's there to hesitate about?

At this moment, Mu Xiaowan felt that the reason why Chu Junbai said that was no longer important. Anyway, a huge opportunity was in front of her, and she would be a fool not to seize it.

Chu Junbai is here to give her a career boost.

Kill two birds with one stone.

This wiretapping was a piece of cake for her; it was her old profession!

I'm not sure if I can buy the materials I need here.

Chu Junbai was pleased to see that Mu Xiaowan did not refuse.

His eyes narrowed slightly. What exactly was her purpose?

He thought Mu Xiaowan's goal was him, but he didn't expect that she didn't care about him at all.

It seems that clinging to him is just her mission.

On the other hand, he considered himself to be quite good, and this woman had such a good opportunity but didn't seize it. Chu Junbai even wondered if Mu Xiaowan had something wrong with her eyes.

This was the first time he had ever been ignored by a woman.

Or is it that this woman is just too professional?

The thought of achieving financial freedom in the future made Mu Xiaowan's joy evident on her face. "Auntie said she wants to decorate the wedding room here. How do you want to decorate it?"

"Just arrange it as you see fit! As for furniture and such, we can add more later if needed."

Mu Xiaowan understood that Chu Junbai was just being perfunctory. After all, their marriage was a contract, and there was no need for a grand celebration.

She gave a perfunctory reply.

"I will decorate with Auntie, Zhang Ma, and Xiao Hui this afternoon."

Chu Junbai glanced at Mu Xiaowan again, surprised that she knew how to avoid suspicion.

How could a country girl know all this?

Chu Junbai had other matters to attend to and didn't have time to ponder further. After Mu Xiaowan left, he also departed.
