Chu Junbai pushed open the door, his steps languid, but his dark eyes were incredibly deep.

His gaze fell on Mu Xiaowan's black tight-fitting thermal underwear. In the past, when Mu Xiaowan snuggled into his arms at night, he only thought that Mu Xiaowan was rather skinny, but in fact, she was quite curvy in all the right places.

Whether she's dressed or not, she looks quite "pretty".

He could have let it go after seeing it, but he didn't expect her to be so open in front of other men. It's like she doesn't treat Ye Jincheng as an outsider!

When did their relationship become so good?

Ye Jincheng is so busy all day, but now he's putting aside his own work to come and clean for Mu Xiaowan.

Mu Xiaowan heard the door open and looked towards the entrance.

She looked up and met Chu Junbai's sinister gaze. She frowned in confusion.

What's going on here?

"Captain Chu, why are you back?"

He must be very busy. He's only been gone for three or four hours. Why is he back already?

Chu Junbai placed the medicine in his hand on the cleaned counter.

"You forgot to bring your medicine."

Ye Jincheng sat halfway on the ladder, looking down at Chu Junbai and said, "How come you're so unreliable? There are not only ointments but also oral medications. It's almost evening."

Chu Junbai looked at Ye Jincheng with a cold eye.

Ye Jincheng, however, failed to notice the cryptic look in his eyes and continued speaking.

"Xiao Mu, did you forget to change your dressing or take your medicine this morning?"

Mu Xiaowan shook her head; she didn't have time for that.

"If you don't change the dressing, it will get infected. This place is full of dust. Why don't you go home now and clean it up? Then you won't have to clean it today."

"It's okay, I'll change it when I get back."

Mu Xiaowan dusted off her hands, wanting to see what kind of medicine it was, but Chu Junbai stopped her.

Chu Junbai stopped her, "Don't touch it if your hands aren't clean. There's gauze here to wrap the wound directly."

"oh oh!"

"Go get dressed, I'll take you home."

"You don't need to do your thing. It's still early. I'll clean up a bit more when Shaoqing comes back."

Mu Xiaowan picked up a towel and handed it to Ye Jincheng. Ye Jincheng took it without hesitation and wiped the area he had just swept, saying, "This isn't urgent. The doctor told you to rest more."

Looking at the tacit understanding between the two, Chu Junbai felt somewhat superfluous.

He said somewhat stiffly, "Go get dressed."

Mu Xiaowan looked at Chu Junbai. Why was this person acting so strangely today?

How did you develop obsessive-compulsive disorder?

What will happen if she doesn't listen to me?

"Shaoqing didn't bring his key. He won't be able to get in when he comes back. I'll wait for him."

“He’ll go back even if he doesn’t see you. I have something to do in a bit, so go get dressed now.”

What's wrong with this person? Why is she being asked to get dressed so many times?

Ye Jincheng also noticed that Chu Junbai was acting strangely.

He asked suspiciously, "Junbai, your older brother didn't take over the job of handling the walkie-talkies, did he?"

Chu Junbai glanced at him sideways, "I've already made an order with Qi Family Electronics Factory, and we'll pick up the goods in a week."

No matter how much tricks Chu Shaoze plays, it's not his place to interfere.

After Chu Shaoze treated everyone to dinner, he thought the matter was a sure thing. Unexpectedly, the procurement task was not issued, and the special forces team purchased the goods themselves and were reimbursed in the end.

This infuriated Chu Shaoze. Not only did he treat the person to dinner, he also gave them a gift.

He even accepted a bribe from another electronics factory, a move that caught Chu Junbai completely off guard.

This further deepened his dislike for Chu Junbai.

Upon hearing the name Qi family, Mu Xiaowan was initially surprised, but then overjoyed.

Could it be that her batch of goods caught someone's eye?

I wonder what price Chu Junbai offered?

How much can she earn from it?

Ye Jincheng said, "So what if you've placed an order? You're a fair and honest person, while other people do these jobs to get something in return, but you're the one who only gives."

Ye Jincheng didn't notice the hint of joy that flashed in Mu Xiaowan's eyes, but Chu Junbai did. Ever since he entered the room, his gaze had been almost constantly on Mu Xiaowan, taking in her every move and naturally not missing any changes in her expression.

"You look very happy. Could it be that you've partnered with an electronics factory as well?" Chu Junbai slightly lifted his eyelids, his gaze sharp as if trying to see into Mu Xiaowan's heart.

Mu Xiaowan calmly replied, "Yes, I've also signed a contract with them. If your unit needs anything in the future, you can get goods from me. I guarantee you the most favorable price."

Chu Junbai scrutinized her. So, was that why she was happy?

"Xiao Mu, you not only know how to do business, but you do it in such a wide range of areas."

"If you want to live in this city, you can't let go of any opportunity to make money."

At this moment, the police officers came looking for Ye Jincheng.

"Boss, what are you doing here? We've been looking for you for ages."

"what happened?"

"The middleman has been caught. You should go back and check on him right away."

Upon hearing this, Ye Jincheng quickly climbed down the ladder.

"These guys are really efficient. Let's go back and take a look."

"Junbai, if you're not busy, could you help Xiaomu clean up for a while? She can't finish all this by herself in a few days."

Honestly, he doesn't know how much he cherishes his own wife. He'll only regret it when he loses her.

Ye Jincheng pulled Chu Junbai aside and whispered, "You're both getting on in years. It's not easy to find someone to be your wife. Whatever the reason, it doesn't matter. This girl is nice. Since things are like this, why not try to get to know each other?"

"You should show her more concern. She's still your wife in name only. If you want her to help you, you have to do something in return!"

Chu Junbai said coldly, "You seem to care a lot about Mu Xiaowan. Why don't I get a divorce and you can stay with him?"

"Hey, Chu Junbai, how can you say something like that? Didn't you ask me to keep an eye on things for you? How could I not help him when he ran into trouble?"

Ye Jincheng scoffed, "You really do look like a jealous husband."

"Xiao Mu, I'm leaving! I'll come back another day when I'm less busy. Remember to apply the medicine. I'll go back and check on things, and I'll let you know when I have a result."

Before leaving, Ye Jincheng gave him one last piece of advice.

Chu Junbai's face was very ugly.

Mu Xiaowan broke out in a sweat, which seeped into her wound, causing her to wince in pain.

Chu Junbai, who had other things to do, took off his cotton-padded coat and climbed the ladder when he saw this.

Mu Xiaowan: "?"

"are you free?"

He said stiffly, "It's all thanks to you that we were able to stop Chu Shaoze from interfering this time. It's only right that I help."

Mu Xiaowan said, "Actually, it's not necessary. You give me money, and I give you information. It's a fair trade."

Chu Junbai glanced at her; she seemed to have the contract firmly in mind at all times.

Chu Shaoqing is back.

He came in through the door, blowing his hands on his hands as he said, "Nowhere is as warm as here. I'm freezing to death now that the sun has set."

Chu Shaoqing held a pair of red gloves in his hand and presented them to Mu Xiaowan like a treasure, "Sister-in-law, I bought myself a pair of black gloves and you a pair of red gloves, so our hands won't get cold when we ride bicycles."
