Ye Jincheng glanced at the thermos in Mu Xiaowan's hand.

This girl is quite considerate.

If it were a girl from the city, she might not be willing to serve the people they paid to hire.

"I was just killing time anyway, it was something I did on the spur of the moment. They're all so busy because of my shop. I did this so the shop can open as soon as possible."

"You have a very broad mind."

"Brother Ye, you're too kind. Please come in quickly."

As soon as Ye Jincheng entered the room, he was enveloped in warmth, and he felt as if he had been revived.

"It's so good to have heating. I'm not afraid of the cold in the middle of winter anymore. It's like two different worlds inside and outside the door."

"Brother Ye, please wait here for a moment, I'll take the water upstairs."

The first floor is all renovated; only the second floor is missing.

Mu Xiaowan found a clean stool, wiped off the dust with a rag placed beside it, and handed it to Ye Jincheng.

"It's alright, I'll go upstairs with you and take a look."

Ye Jincheng looked at the design on the second floor and nodded repeatedly, showing an expression of appreciation.

"Comrade Xiaowan, your house design is really good. It would be very comfortable to live in. I now regret renting it to Junbai at such a low price."

"Brother Ye, if I decide not to rent this house in the future, I won't ask for the money for the renovation. You can just charge more rent when you rent it out, and that will make it all back, right?"

Ye Jincheng said, "You really know how to do business."

Ye Jincheng came to see Mu Xiaowan to discuss something important.

It was too noisy upstairs, and they didn't want others to know what they wanted to say, so they went downstairs together.

Ye Jincheng didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "Junbai told me what you meant. Are you sure you want to do this?"

“According to the regulations, you should be detained for at least half a month. If you don’t withdraw the case, then it can be resolved privately, and we will mediate.”

Mu Xiaowan said, "Just follow your normal procedures."

"These past two days, the Ge family has been asking around about this matter, and it has even alarmed the higher-ups, who have been asking how to handle it."

"I can only use the excuse that you are not feeling well these past two days and cannot go to the police station temporarily to delay."

“If it’s really difficult for Brother Ye, it wouldn’t be impossible to do it two days earlier. I originally wanted to teach him a lesson, but I can’t let this affect you.”

Ye Jincheng felt hot and unbuttoned his coat.

"That's alright. Next time, I'll use the excuse that we're in mediation to drag it out a bit longer, at least half a month."

Ye Jincheng looked at Mu Xiaowan with a probing gaze.

When Chu Junbai approached him, he was somewhat confused, but Chu Junbai didn't say anything.

He wanted to learn from Mu Xiaowan, so that was his main purpose in coming here today.

“Xiao Mu! Jun Bai didn’t say anything that day, but I actually wanted to ask you why you didn’t pursue the matter. This is no small matter.”

"Although He Yongsheng did something unforgivable to me, I also hurt him, so I don't want to pursue it any further," Mu Xiaowan said sincerely.

Ye Jincheng rubbed his fingers, wondering if he was overthinking things.

Based on the information we have, she must really hate He Yongsheng for abandoning her.

It seems this girl is simply kind-hearted.

“He deserves it, and you don’t need to feel guilty.”

"One should be lenient when possible. But then again, He Yongsheng is my sister-in-law's brother, so I can't be too ruthless."

Ye Jincheng knew about this; she had been taken to the police station last time for fighting with her sister-in-law.

Later, he had his subordinates investigate Mu Xiaowan and learned about her situation. She had a clean background and no problems.

However, if fighting with one's sister-in-law can lead to death, how could she let He Yongsheng off so easily after he treated her this way?

Another explanation is that people from the countryside are afraid of lawsuits and don't want to get themselves into legal trouble.

"Now that you put it that way, I understand."

"If you need any help here, just let me know. I'm not far from here and can come over to help. Junbai is usually too busy to help anyway."

"okay, thank you."

If Mu Xiaowan were to run this shop on her own, she might really need Ye Jincheng's help with a lot of things.

However, with Chu Shaoqing around now, it seems there's no need for Ye Jincheng, since Chu Shaoqing has a wide network of connections.

Mu Xiaowan stayed at the shop until after six o'clock before leaving.

The shop key has been held by the workers for the past two days. It gets dark early now, so there's not much work to be done during the day. Therefore, the workers need to work overtime at night, and she doesn't need to wait to lock the door.

Mu Xiaowan arrived home just as dinner was ready.

Mu Xiaowan was afraid that the old lady would nag again.

Surprisingly, the old lady didn't nag today.

Jiang Yinglan took good care of her at the dinner table.

I served her food and ladled out soup.

This made Mu Xiaowan feel flattered and overwhelmed.

To be honest, her mother-in-law treated her quite well.

After the meal, Zhang Ma saw that Mu Xiaowan looked exhausted, so she didn't ask her for help.

Mu Xiaowan was indeed very tired, and she didn't even want to wash her face after going upstairs.

She didn't sleep well last night, and all she wanted to do right now was lie down and sleep.

But after spending a whole day in the shop and getting all dirty, how could I not wash myself?

The heating in the house isn't very warm today.

She simply washed her face.

Mu Xiaowan took off her coat, picked up a basin, and went to wash up.

After washing up, she didn't change her clothes; she simply took off her thermal underwear and went to bed.

Mu Xiaowan knew that Chu Junbai had been very busy these past two days. He came back the day before yesterday to ask her about something, but he didn't come back yesterday, and he definitely wouldn't come back today either.

Since she's not coming back, she doesn't need to wear clothes to sleep. She hates wearing clothes to sleep; she never feels warm enough in clothes, and she always feels tired and restricted when she wakes up.

She even tore off her bra, ready to get a good night's sleep.

Just as Mu Xiaowan was feeling sleepy and about to drift off to sleep, the sound of the door opening rang out.

Oh no, she didn't lock the door. Who could it be so late?

Startled, Mu Xiaowan sat up abruptly and looked towards the door.

Chu Junbai opened the door, and what greeted his eyes was Mu Xiaowan sitting up abruptly, the blanket slipping down to reveal her completely naked upper body. In the dim light, her skin was as smooth and lustrous as fine silk, and…quite full…

Chu Junbai felt all the blood rush to his head. He immediately turned around and left, closing the door behind him.

It should be said that they fled.

He had never escaped on the battlefield, but Qing Tian was somewhat disheveled.

Standing at the door, Chu Junbai's heart pounded like a drum.

Seeing the light on, he assumed the person was still awake.

She must have fallen asleep, otherwise she wouldn't have been unable to hear the car.

Seeing Chu Junbai's panicked behavior, Mu Xiaowan quickly lowered her head.

……

……

The sky is falling!

Her face visibly turned red.

She quickly pulled up the blanket and wrapped it around her head, as if that would make up for the accidental exposure.

What's gotten into her today? Why is she taking off her clothes?

And why don't you turn off the lights when you sleep?

I turned off the lights, so he can't see them, right?

Mu Xiaowan felt like she was dead.

……

Why did Chu Junbai suddenly come back today?

Mu Xiaowan didn't "torture" herself for long before quickly putting on her underwear and getting out of bed to find her pajamas.

Only after crawling back into bed and calming himself down did he say to the outsider, "Okay!"
