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

In her anxiety, Mu Xiaowan glanced around and finally her gaze fell on the lighter on the table.

There were still many cigarette butts in the ashtray that hadn't been cleaned up.

Chu Shaoze loves to smoke; he's quite addicted and always has his lighter with him. He probably left in a hurry today and forgot to take it.

Chu Shaoze is quite particular about the lighters he uses. This particular lighter is one that his grandfather also collects; it's a Burberry arm-lift lighter.

Grandpa told her that he had seen a rich man with this style before, but he didn't have the money to buy it. It wasn't until the 20th century, when he had money, that he bought it to collect.

She had secretly played with it before, but her grandfather only said it was expensive.

Presumably, Chu Shaoze wouldn't easily throw away or replace something so expensive.

These lighters are refillable with oil and can last a long time.

Mu Xiaowan quickly grabbed the lighter and put it in her pocket.

Just as she was holding the doorknob, the person outside was about to push the door open and come in.

The two of them pulled and pushed at the same time, opening it simultaneously.

Chu Junbai?

Mu Xiaowan breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought it was Chu Shaoze who had returned.

Of the three brothers, only Chu Shaoze wore leather shoes, which made a clanging sound when he walked.

Chu Junbai was wearing military boots, so his footsteps were rather muffled.

She must have misheard.

"what are you doing here?"

Mu Xiaowan naturally wouldn't reveal her tech skills.

"I thought this was Chu Shaoqing's room, but it looks very proper inside, not like it at all."

At this moment, Chu Shaoqing came up from downstairs.

Seeing Mu Xiaowan, he said, "Sister-in-law, where have you been? Weren't you with..."

Afraid that he might let something slip, Mu Xiaowan quickly walked past Chu Junbai, saying, "I was looking for a washroom to wash off the garlic smell from my hands, but I couldn't find one right away."

"Oh, then tell me, and I'll take you there." Chu Shaoqing pointed to the other door. "It's here."

"okay!"

"Then be careful, watch your arm."

Chu Junbai narrowed his obsidian-like eyes slightly as he watched Mu Xiaowan's hurried appearance.

He had just seen Mu Xiaowan follow Chu Shaoqing upstairs, but Chu Shaoqing came down to look for her shortly after.

He came up to take a look, and to his surprise, he guessed right.

What was she doing in Chu Shaoze's room?

Chu Shaoqing and Mu Xiaowan entered the room together and saw that Chu Junbai had followed them in as well. The two of them looked at him together.

Chu Junbai's eyes darkened. Why did he feel like a third party? Those two were the ones who looked like a couple.

"Um, is there something you need?" Mu Xiaowan needed to install the listening device as soon as possible and find an opportunity to put it in Chu Shaoze's room.

It would be troublesome if Chu Shaoze came back later and found the lighter was missing.

So she had to get Chu Junbai away.

"Am I in your way?"

Yes, it's in the way.

But Mu Xiaowan dared not say it.

"No, not at all. We just need to talk about some things related to the shop. You'll get bored staying here."

She meant to kick him out; surely Chu Junbai understood that?

Mu Xiaowan looked at Chu Shaoqing.

Chu Shaoqing understood and quickly cooperated, "Oh, right, my sister-in-law and I need to discuss it."

Chu Junbai took in the expressions of the two men and said casually, "Since that's the case, then I need to listen, because I am the investor in your shop."

Mu Xiaowan: "?"

Is this person not understanding or doing it on purpose?

Chu Junbai simply sat down on the edge of the bed. Mu Xiaowan and Chu Shaoqing exchanged a glance before walking to the desk and sitting down.

Mu Xiaowan had no choice but to share her idea of ​​opening a shop with Chu Shaoqing.

Chu Shaoqing thought Mu Xiaowan must have come to him to talk about the tape recorder.

His sister-in-law didn't want his second brother to know, so he cooperated.

The two of them discussed some plans in a rather formal manner.

Chu Shaoqing also offered some constructive suggestions, which was quite rare for him.

Seeing that the two of them were serious, Chu Junbai would occasionally mention it.

Seeing that Chu Junbai showed no intention of leaving.

Mu Xiaowan was getting a little anxious.

She had no choice but to find another way.

"That's all for today. We'll look for a place to live when we're done."

"Shaoqing, you left the things you bought yesterday at my place. They're in the compartment under the wardrobe. Do you remember that bag from yesterday? Go back and look for it. I'll wait for you here."

She needed the tools to install it, so she instructed Chu Shaoqing in front of Chu Junbai; he probably wouldn't suspect anything.

"Okay! I'll be right back."

As long as it's something Mu Xiaowan gives an order, Chu Shaoqing will not delay or question it; he will carry it out immediately.

Chu Junbai squinted his eyes.

Mu Xiaowan's expression was unfocused, and she looked somewhat anxious.

What's she in such a hurry for?

After Chu Shaoqing left.

Mu Xiaowan saw that Chu Junbai was sitting motionless like an old monk in meditation, showing no intention of leaving.

Mu Xiaowan frowned.

Aren't you busy today?

"No matter how busy I am, I still have to eat dinner. But even if I'm busy these past two days, my boss won't allow it because my honeymoon isn't over yet."

Mu Xiaowan: "?"

Mu Xiaowan really shouldn't have said anything to send him away.

Silence, a very long silence.

Neither of them spoke.

Mu Xiaowan was calculating in her mind when Chu Shaoqing would return.

On one hand, she was worried that Chu Shaoze might suddenly come back.

Just then, Bai Jiao'e's enthusiastic voice suddenly came from downstairs.

"Mu Xue, you've finally arrived! We've been waiting for you. Now that you're here, we can start eating."

An Muxue is here too?

Aren't they the main characters today?

"Auntie, today is your family gathering, I shouldn't have come. I didn't expect Brother Shaoze to ask the director for leave for me." An Muxue was still well-behaved and sensible.

“Aren’t you one of our family members too? I’ve watched you grow up since you were little. I’ve always considered you family, and we should be even closer as a family from now on.”

“My mom is right. Mu Xue, don’t you like my mom’s sweet and sour fish? You can just come over whenever you want to eat it. No matter how busy my mom is, she will make it for you.”

Chu Shaoze's voice also came through.

Mu Xiaowan's eyes changed slightly.

Chu Junbai looked at her, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes, before he stood up.

"Dinner's about to be served, aren't you coming down?"

"okay!"

With Chu Shaoqing gone, it's not good for Mu Xiaowan to stay here alone.

She followed Chu Junbai downstairs, one after the other.

An Muxue had just taken off her coat, revealing a turtleneck sweater, jeans, and black leather shoes underneath. She had her hair tied up in a ladylike style with a ribbon, looking beautiful and ethereal.

Mu Xiaowan felt that if she stood next to An Muxue, she would be the ugly duckling.

Chu Shaoze's eyes were fixed on An Mengxue, and he was laughing as if he didn't care about money.

Upon seeing the two of them, An Muxue gritted her teeth, then smiled and greeted Chu Junbai.

"Junbai, I heard from my colleague this morning that you came to pick up your medicine. What's wrong with Xiaowan?"

She's really good at pretending.

They had already had a verbal battle.

"I accidentally pinched her."

"How could you be so careless? No matter what the reason, she is your newlywed wife."

This didn't happen at all, so why does she make it sound like they've been fighting?

Just then, Chu Shaoqing returned.

Mu Xiaowan's gaze fell on the bag in Chu Shaoqing's hand, and she thought to herself, "Oh no!"

The timing of our return was really bad.
