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

Hearing no response, Mu Xiaowan assumed Chu Junbai hadn't heard her, so she repeated, "Captain Chu, you can come in now."

There was still no movement this time.

Mu Xiaowan raised an eyebrow. Where is he?

Her heart was pounding like a drum, and there was no sign of it stopping.

No sleepiness at all.

Just then, she heard the sound of a car starting.

gone?

Is he trying to outshy with her?

If that's the case, then Chu Junbai has won.

At least she didn't run away.

(Narrator: You want to run away? Do you think you can? Are you going to run naked?)

That man is really something, he came back just to scare her.

This time, Mu Xiaowan had learned her lesson. She quickly got out of bed, locked the door, turned off the lights, and then crawled into bed and spread her legs out in one smooth motion.

My heartbeat gradually slowed down.

She really is something, forgetting that she has a modern soul, just wearing the shell of an era.

What's there to be ashamed of?

Nowadays, there are countless girls wearing bikinis on the beach.

She was just seen from the waist up, so what?

If Chu Junbai wanted to sleep with her now, she might actually agree.

Such a high-quality man—why not sleep with him? She doesn't have anyone she likes, and she's never thought about remaining chaste for anyone. Living in the present is what matters.

The more she thought about it, the more at peace she felt.

Suddenly, there was another knock on the door.

"Who?"

“Me!” a deep male voice said.

Isn't this the man who fled in panic?

Is there something wrong with Chu Junbai?

Why go through all this back and forth?

She clearly heard the car start; did it start and then turn off?

Mu Xiaowan got out of bed, this time wearing a sweater.

After opening the door, she didn't look at Chu Junbai, but turned and walked to the bedside, quickly getting into bed.

Is there no charcoal at home? The heating is freezing today.

Chu Junbai saw that Mu Xiaowan came down to open the door so quickly, so she must have already gotten dressed.

Even so, he didn't look directly at Mu Xiaowan, but instead closed the door and sat down in a chair.

"I thought you hadn't gone to sleep yet."

Is this an explanation or an apology?

"I forgot to close the door today. If you come back in the future, call ahead and I'll leave the door open for you." That way, she'll be prepared no matter what she does.

Today's incident should serve as a wake-up call.

"it is good!"

Chu Junbai was also worried that something similar would happen again.

What just happened...

Even when facing the most formidable enemy, he didn't flinch, yet he just fled.

He had planned to leave, but after missing today, he became even busier and had no time to come back.

After thinking it over, he turned off the engine and got out of the car.

Chu Junbai took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, flicked it a few times with his index and middle fingers together at the bottom of the pack, and a cigarette was flicked out. He pulled out the cigarette with his slender fingers, then held it in his hand, turning it around and looking at it, seemingly not intending to smoke it.

The more Mu Xiaowan looked, the more she felt that Chu Junbai had something to do with his return.

Is there something you want to ask her?

Or perhaps he hasn't quite recovered from the shock of what just happened.

If that's the case, then he's too innocent.

"I'm going to sleep first."

Mu Xiaowan rubbed the buckwheat hull pillow and was about to lie down when Chu Junbai spoke.

"I'll be busy in a couple of days and might not be able to come back. Have you decided what to sell in the shop yet?"

That's it?

Mu Xiaowan leaned against the headboard and pulled the blanket up until it reached her neck.

"For example, kitchen utensils and daily necessities, these things include a lot."

"anything else?"

"It's hard to say about the others. If we come across a good source of goods, we might replenish our supplies along the way."

"I saw Chu Shaoqing at Qijia Electronics Factory today..."

Before Chu Junbai could finish speaking, he looked at Mu Xiaowan, but he couldn't see the slightest change in her expression.

Mu Xiaowan didn't seem to be in a hurry to explain anything.

If that's the case, why did you run away when you saw his car?

"Is there anything strange?" Mu Xiaowan was actually feeling uneasy.

Did Chu Junbai find out?

She should have called Chu Shaoqing to ask as soon as she got back.

What were you and Shaoqing doing there?

Chu Junbai simply asked the question directly.

Mu Xiaowan: "..."

I really saw it.

I wonder what Chu Shaoqing said?

Forget it.

Mu Xiaowan replied, "Don't you guys buy electronic products everywhere? I think the market demand for these electronic products will definitely increase after the reform and opening up, so I want to seize the opportunity and start selling some electronic products."

"Well, Shaoqing just mentioned that his friend's family does this kind of business. So I went to Qi Haiyang's factory to take a look."

"What? Is there a problem?"

Mu Xiaowan's eyes were clear, and she didn't seem to be lying.

Chu Junbai narrowed his eyes slightly.

Mu Xiaowan has always been very good at languages.

At this moment, what she said was half true and half false, making it difficult for him to discern the truth.

If there are no ghosts, then why would you run away when you see him?

Little did he know that Mu Xiaowan was just panicking.

Mu Xiaowan saw that Chu Junbai didn't speak, but just looked at her, his eyes full of inquiry.

She simply said, "Actually, I wasn't planning to tell you this, since it requires a lot of investment. We might not be able to make money from this when our new store opens, so I was afraid you would stop us."

Chu Junbai gave her a deep look and then looked away.

So you saw him hiding because of this?

Mu Xiaowan's answers were always sincere and impeccable.

But because there were no flaws, he felt that something was wrong.

Chu Junbai felt that he had missed something after experiencing one incident after another.

Either what Mu Xiaowan said and did were true.

Either she's too cunning and has deceived everyone.

"The outlook for electronics products is still quite good, but aren't you operating too many different businesses?"

"Our shop sells daily necessities, so of course it's a bit of a mixed bag, isn't it?"

Chu Junbai took an envelope out of his pocket and placed it on the table.

This is the money he withdrew this afternoon.

I was in such a hurry that I almost took the money with me.

"Here's a thousand yuan, it's from my allowance. Let me know when you've used it all."

It will be very expensive at the beginning. Since he and Mu Xiaowan agreed that he would pay for all these expenses, he must keep his word.

"Okay!" Mu Xiaowan didn't stand on ceremony. He Yongsheng's money was far from enough, and the bride price was untouchable, as other things would need to be purchased later.

"Is there anything else? If not, I'm going to sleep now."

"It's alright, you can go to sleep now."

Mu Xiaowan was sleepy again, and she closed her eyes and dozed off as soon as she finished speaking.

Hearing the even breathing, Chu Junbai then looked at Mu Xiaowan without any restraint.

It's hard to tell from Mu Xiaowan's eyebrows, her temperament, or her speech that she comes from the countryside.

But that is indeed the case with her background.

What went wrong?

Mu Xiaowan is like a mystery.

But he had no idea what to do.

Every time I felt I had hit the nail on the head, she always managed to give a clever answer.

Chu Junbai walked to the bedside and sat down.

Mu Xiaowan's sleeping face was innocent and adorable, showing no trace of shrewdness.
