Seeing that he had been misunderstood, Chu Shaoqing looked at Chu Junbai with a frightened expression.

Chu Junbai tapped his fingers lightly on the sofa, slightly lifted his eyelids, and looked at Chu Shaoqing with deep eyes that made it impossible to tell what he was thinking, but it was precisely this that made Chu Shaoqing feel increasingly pressured.

Chu Shaoqing swallowed and quickly explained.

“Brother Anhe, you can’t talk nonsense. This is my… my sister, a blood relative, I…” Chu Shaoqing looked at Mu Xiaowan with some difficulty, then looked at his second brother. Seeing that he was unmoved, he still dared not say the words “worldly-wise”.

After thinking for a moment, Chu Shaoqing said, "I was originally shopping with my sister and planning to go back after dinner, but I ran into some good buddies and they dragged me here."

"It's getting late, we're about to head back. You guys have fun, we'll be going now."

Mu Xiaowan nodded to the group.

She never made eye contact with Chu Junbai.

For her, Chu Junbai was merely a husband and business partner in name only.

So if she doesn't care, then she really doesn't care about anything.

She hurriedly tried to follow Chu Shaoqing and leave.

"Wait, I'll take you back."

Chu Junbai's deep and calm voice rang out loudly amidst the music, abruptly halting the two's steps.

Chu Shaoqing was worried about how to get back. Taking a rickshaw was too cold, walking was too far, and there were no buses running at the moment.

He was delighted upon hearing this, but his smile froze when he saw Mu Xiaowan.

"Brother! Actually, we can go back by ourselves."

Mu Xiaowan glanced at him. Despite the freezing weather, she wasn't so stubborn and could easily accept Chu Junbai's offer to escort her.

Chu Junbai had already walked up to them.

Seeing a drunk man stumbling past Mu Xiaowan, he reached out and pulled her to the other side.

"What are you doing standing at the door? Don't block people's way."

Mu Xiaowan looked back and saw that she was indeed standing in the middle of the road.

Chu Junbai had long legs and walked out the door in just a few steps.

Mu Xiaowan and Chu Shaoqing quickly followed.

As soon as she pushed open the door, a blast of cold air hit her face, almost making Mu Xiaowan gasp for breath. Her nose was irritated and she felt terrible; tears welled up in her eyes.

After Chu Junbai got into the car, he glanced at Mu Xiaowan. Mu Xiaowan seemed to understand his gaze and quickly climbed into the passenger seat.

After she finished, she heard Chu Junbai say, "You can play if you want, but don't stay out too late in the future, and it's best not to be drunk. The elders won't tolerate it."

He caught a glimpse of her exhaustion out of the corner of his eye; she must have been playing for a long time, otherwise she wouldn't have looked so limp.

Mu Xiaowan remembered Chu Junbai saying that it was best not to cause him any trouble in the next three years.

As a young married woman, it's really not good to go home drunk.

"My sister-in-law didn't drink alcohol, she only had a few cups of tea." Chu Shaoqing quickly defended Mu Xiaowan, afraid that Chu Junbai would blame her.

Chu Junbai glanced at him through the rearview mirror, and in that one glance, Chu Shaoqing shut up.

The second brother seems angry; he's probably upset that he brought his sister-in-law out.

Chu Junbai first escorted Chu Shaoqing back.

The two families are not far from each other.

After Chu Shaoqing got out of the car, Chu Junbai also got out.

"Brother, did you need something from me?"

Chu Junbai didn't reply until he had walked about twenty or thirty steps away from the car, then said, "I see you've been quite idle lately. Either go back to your studies, or find a job? If that doesn't work, go back to the army for training, or take the police academy or military academy entrance exam."

"Ah, second brother, I don't like doing the same things as you guys anymore."

Chu Junbai couldn't understand why Chu Shaoqing disliked their profession so much, since it seemed like it was a good one.

If he joins the army, with the Chu family's background, he's sure to have a bright future.

But this kid has never been the type to do things just because someone forces him to.

"You're not getting any younger. If you keep wasting your life like this, what will you do in the future? Stop wasting your days. Go out less with your friends from now on."

"If you can't find a suitable job, I can help you find one with a secure future, so you won't lose your job. Think about what you like to do first, and we'll try our best to find one you like."

"Me...who said I was idle? I found a job today!"

"From now on, my boss will be my sister... oh, sister-in-law, she's my sister-in-law."

"Who gave you the right to call me 'sister'?"

"My sister-in-law, I guess she's worried you'll lose face in front of their friends. After all, you sneaked into the nightclub, and you're newly married, so you should at least be mindful of your image."

Chu Junbai glanced at the car window.

The car windows were fogged up, so he couldn't see Mu Xiaowan's face clearly, but he could clearly picture in his mind her calm and composed demeanor when she saw him at the dance hall.

It was as if they didn't know him at all, and didn't even glance at him.

“My sister-in-law always thinks of you in everything. Don’t always be so stern with her. Now that you’re married, no matter what the reason, you should treat your sister-in-law better.”

Chu Shaoqing thought for a moment and decided to remind his second brother a few words so that it wouldn't be too late to regret it later.

"Second brother, you always say you shouldn't judge a person by their appearance. I think your wife is really outstanding, she's just a little short of being a good match for you." It's just background.

Chu Junbai assumed that Mu Xiaowan's unwavering admiration stemmed from her skill in gaming, leading him to believe she was exceptionally talented. Therefore, he didn't take his words seriously.

He added, "Stay away from Mu Xiaowan. She might not be as simple as you think."

Don't be taken advantage of without even realizing it.

Chu Shaoqing seemed to have found a kindred spirit, and grabbed Chu Gebai, his voice tinged with excitement, "Brother, you've noticed too, haven't you? Your wife is really amazing. You should treat her better."

Chu Junbai was somewhat impatient, frowned, and turned to leave.

Chu Shaoqing: "?"

……

After returning to her room, Mu Xiaowan saw Chu Junbai taking off his clothes and asked in confusion, "Aren't you going out?"

Chu Junbai raised an eyebrow and asked, "You want me to leave?"

"Oh, I was just asking."

Mu Xiaowan put her bag in the bottom compartment of the wardrobe, where only her belongings were kept, so Chu Junbai probably wouldn't touch it.

She took off her coat and went to wash up.

When she returned from washing up, she saw that Chu Junbai had already taken off his shirt and was only wearing a white vest. His arm muscles were bulging, and his chest muscles looked like they were about to burst out of the vest.

He's really talented.

The clothes on her legs hadn't been changed.

Mu Xiaowan handed the basin to Chu Junbai.

Chu Junbai washed up quickly; she returned just after applying lotion.

Fortunately, she quickly changed out of her pajamas.

In fact, Mu Xiaowan doesn't like wearing clothes to sleep at all; she prefers to sleep naked.

However, even if you're not reserved, you can't be that open when you're alone in a room with a man.

Chu Junbai is not actually her husband.

Mu Xiaowan loosened her long hair and gently combed it with a comb. Her beautiful hair covered half of her back, making her slender waist appear even more delicate.

Chu Junbai said, "I'll come back less often in the future."

"it is good!"

"Let's sleep like this tonight. I'll remember the contract."

Mu Xiaowan understood Chu Junbai's words to mean: I won't sleep with you, don't worry!

She nodded.

Chu Junbai glanced at Mu Xiaowan; it seemed she hadn't understood his meaning. These words were directed at Mu Xiaowan, hoping she wouldn't overstep her bounds in her duties.

He took off his shoes and got into bed, taking off his pants as well, leaving only a pair of long underwear.

Mu Xiaowan also got into bed and turned off the bedside lamp.

It was the first time the two had shared a bed.

They were all leaning back to each other.

The night seemed unusually quiet.

The two of them could hear each other breathing very clearly.

Just when Mu Xiaowan thought she would be too stressed to sleep, she soon couldn't hold on any longer.

In her dazed state, she felt the man's warm breath rushing towards her face...
