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

The morning sun shone on the city streets, bathing everything in a warm golden light, but Mu Xiaowan had no heart to appreciate the beautiful scenery.

She stood at the company entrance, looking at the vehicle that was about to take her to the military base, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

A gentle breeze stirred her hair, but it couldn't calm the turmoil in her heart.

Looking back on the hardships she endured in developing the noise-canceling headphones, Mu Xiaowan was filled with emotion. Countless days and nights she spent in the lab, surrounded by various parts and data, failing time and again, but never giving up. Now, the headphones were finally successfully developed, but she faced a problem even more troubling than the technical difficulties—Chu Junbai.

She was afraid that he would discover her secret.

Taking a deep breath, Mu Xiaowan steeled herself and got into the car. The car slowly started moving, heading towards the military base. Her heart pounded faster and faster, and her hands unconsciously gripped the armrests of the seat. The scenery outside the window rushed past, but her thoughts were a jumbled mess.

She prayed silently in her heart, hoping that the lecture would go smoothly and that she would not run into Chu Junbai.

Because she didn't do a good job of showing her true self to Chu Junbai.

As the saying goes, what you fear most is what will happen.

Finally, the gate of the military base came into view. Mu Xiaowan got out of the car and tried to calm herself down. She scanned her surroundings but did not see that familiar figure, which eased her worries slightly.

She thought to herself that perhaps this really wasn't Chu Junbai's territory, and that she could complete her mission smoothly and leave safely.

Led by a soldier, Mu Xiaowan arrived at the demonstration area. It was a training ground with various training equipment. She methodically set up the display stand.

A short while later, a group of soldiers walked in. The moment they saw Mu Xiaowan, they were instantly drawn to her. The woman before them was not only outstanding in appearance, but also exuded a unique aura—the radiance of knowledge and wisdom—making her stand out in this masculine military unit.

"stand at attention!"

"sit down!"

"Due to our limited budget, we can't provide everyone with one of these noise-canceling headphones, but everyone will need them when going on missions. Whether you have the necessary conditions for a mission or not, listen carefully. This thing can be a lifesaver."

Mu Xiaowan glanced around but didn't see Chu Junbai, so she was relieved.

She began her explanation. Her voice was clear and pleasant, and she explained the working principle, performance characteristics, and usage of the headphones in a well-organized manner. The soldiers listened with great interest, occasionally letting out exclamations of amazement.

At this moment, Chu Junbai was intently reviewing the documents in his hand in his office, his brows slightly furrowed and his expression serious. The office was extremely quiet, with only the scratching sound of pen nibs on paper.

Suddenly, a hurried report broke the silence. Chu Junbai didn't even look up, coldly saying, "Come in."

A team member rushed in, his face beaming with excitement.

"Captain, we have a very beautiful tour guide. You should go and take a look right away," the team member said breathlessly.

Chu Junbai looked up, glanced at him with disdain, and said, "Get lost if you have nothing to do. Listen carefully to the explanation. Everyone will have a set from now on. We can't keep bothering people to give explanations every day." In his opinion, he was just a guide. As long as he was talented, nothing else mattered.

The team member showed no sign of leaving. He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Captain, I feel that person looks a lot like your wife. Do you want to take a look?"

Chu Junbai paused for a moment upon hearing this.

"Don't talk nonsense."

He didn't take it seriously and continued working with his head down.

Seeing that the captain remained unmoved, the team member became anxious. Why was the captain so indifferent to his sister-in-law?

"Captain, really, I've seen your wife, she really looks like her." The team member hurriedly explained when the captain didn't believe him, his expression very serious.

Looking at the determined eyes of his teammates, Chu Junbai felt a sense of doubt. He put down his pen, stood up, hesitated for a moment, and then decided to go to the training field to take a look.

Mu Xiaowan was still focused on explaining on the stage, demonstrating the operation of the headphones while answering the soldiers' questions. The soldiers below were all impressed by her talent, their attentive gazes fixed on Mu Xiaowan.

Just then, Chu Junbai walked into the training field, his gaze immediately locking onto the stage. The moment he saw Mu Xiaowan, he froze on the spot.

Mu Xiaowan seemed to sense something, and inadvertently looked up, her eyes meeting Chu Junbai's. Her body trembled slightly, and she stopped the demonstration she was performing, inwardly realizing something was wrong.

For a moment, the entire training ground fell silent; everyone noticed the unusual atmosphere. The soldiers then saw Chu Junbai, their gazes shifting back and forth between him and Mu Xiaowan, wondering what had happened.

Chu Junbai was the first to regain his senses. A complex emotion flashed in his eyes—surprise, doubt, and above all, worry. He couldn't wait a moment longer and was eager to know the reason.

Seeing the bowl of water beside him, he took the pretext of bringing water to Mu Xiaowan and strode towards her, each step seemingly landing on her heart.

"What are you doing here?" Chu Junbai walked up to Mu Xiaowan and asked in a low voice, his voice carrying a hint of barely perceptible tension.

Mu Xiaowan took the bowl of water and drank it, trying to calm herself down. She forced a smile and said, "I'm here to give a product presentation."

Chu Junbai looked at her, his doubts undiminished. He was about to press for more information when the curious gazes of the surrounding soldiers reminded him that now was not the time to speak.

"Continue your explanation first, and we'll talk again after you're done." After saying that, Chu Junbai stepped aside and quietly watched Mu Xiaowan.

Mu Xiaowan took a deep breath, trying to bring her thoughts back to the explanation. She continued describing the functions of the headphones, but her heart was pounding with anxiety. She didn't know what Chu Junbai would think, nor what would happen when the two of them were alone together later.

The explanation finally ended, and the soldiers dispersed, but Mu Xiaowan felt as if she had just gone through a major battle, utterly exhausted. Chu Junbai walked to her side, and seeing her weary appearance, his doubts and worries deepened.

"Junbai, do you know that girl?" the instructor asked.

"She's my wife!" Chu Junbai said coldly.

"Ah!" the instructor exclaimed in surprise.

Seeing that Mu Xiaowan was deliberately avoiding him, Chu Junbai walked over, pulled Mu Xiaowan around, and turned to walk towards the office.

Neither of them spoke the rest of the way; the atmosphere was so oppressive it was hard to breathe. Upon arriving at the office, Chu Junbai closed the door and turned to look at Mu Xiaowan.

"Now you can tell me what exactly happened?" Chu Junbai's voice was calm, but Mu Xiaowan could hear the restraint in it.
