Chapter 192 He couldn't bear to break it off
"Is this wine good? If it is, I'll get some more another day." He asked Mu Xiaowan.
Chu Junbai also discovered that his wife had a huge capacity for alcohol. So far, he had never seen Mu Xiaowan drunk; on the contrary, he had seen her drink excessively.
"It tastes good, but it's not very strong."
That might be just right.
"Too much force can be harmful to your health."
"Shaoqing, go to the rice noodle stall up ahead and buy me a big bowl of spicy rice noodles, plus two sausages."
"it is good!"
When Chu Shaoqing stood up, he pulled Liu Caiwei along.
Liu Caiwei paused for a moment, then realized what was happening and immediately stood up. "It's too hot. I'm going out for some fresh air."
After they left, Chu Junbai poured Mu Xiaowan a cup of tea.
"Even if you don't get drunk, drinking alcohol without eating will hurt your stomach."
"have eaten."
Mu Xiaowan raised her eyes and her gaze fell on Chu Junbai's face.
He's so handsome! His straight nose, like a steep mountain peak, outlines a resolute line on his face, high and three-dimensional, adding a touch of coldness and handsomeness to his appearance.
It looks good from any angle.
"Chu Junbai, have they left?"
She had already drunk quite a bit, and her eyes were misty. Her languid and relaxed appearance made Chu Junbai unable to look away.
But when he asked that question, a hint of sadness was clearly visible.
Chu Junbai took out a brown paper envelope. "She's gone. Your mother didn't want to leave, but your father dragged her away. He left this with Ye Jincheng."
Chu Junbai knew that this was money Mu Xiaowan had given to her father, but he didn't expect his father to not take it.
Mu Xiaowan looked at the envelope, slowly poured it out, and then casually placed it on the tea table. She suddenly laughed.
"I was worried he'd think I didn't give him enough. Didn't he see there's a thousand yuan in here?!"
"Has he gone mad too? How could he not love money?"
As Mu Xiaowan was speaking, tears suddenly blurred her vision, and large teardrops rolled down her cheeks, soaking her clothes and wetting her collar.
Mu Daniu loves his daughter, doesn't he?
Does his refusal of the money mean he can't bear to part with his daughter and their relationship?
He felt sorry for his daughter.
He was just a coward; he didn't dare argue with his wife or express his feelings to her.
Chu Junbai didn't know how to comfort her. He raised his large hand and stroked Mu Xiaowan's hair, once, twice. On the third stroke, Mu Xiaowan glared at him with teary eyes, "Pull it all out! Are you trying to pull me bald?"
Chu Junbai's hand remained raised in mid-air, his face showing embarrassment.
His hands were covered in calluses, and Mu Xiaowan had complained about it more than once.
When they were in bed together, she complained that his hands scratched her skin, and when she wore silk pajamas, his hands would even snag them.
He even acted a little spoiled because of this, and specially bought some liniment, which made his comrades laugh at him.
After Mu Xiaowan finished speaking, she sobbed a few more times and then started eating.
Her arrival seemed quick, and her departure seemed quick as well.
Like a child throwing a tantrum.
This was the first time Chu Junbai had ever seen Mu Xiaowan act so irrationally. His impression of Mu Xiaowan was that she was calm, intelligent, and unhurried.
Chu Junbai was completely unable to keep up with her pace and was a little confused.
Even so, she's still quite cute.
Suddenly, the sound of rain came from outside.
As the raindrops tapped against the windowpane, Mu Xiaowan suddenly remembered when she was twelve years old, squatting by the stove practicing writing with a fire poker, and her father secretly slipped her half a piece of malt candy.
"Chu Junbai, I want to eat maltose."
This time, Mu Xiaowan was not as charming and innocent as before. She looked out the window, as if she was thinking about something.
When Chu Shaoqing and Liu Caiwei returned, Mu Xiaowan had stopped crying; her eyelashes were still damp with tears.
After finishing their meal and drinks, it was already past eleven o'clock. Chu Junbai had finished the three bottles of wine he had given Mu Xiaowan. The other three hadn't drunk much, not because they didn't want to, but because Mu Xiaowan had drunk it all. She was very domineering, holding a wine glass in one hand and the bottle in the other, as if she were drinking water. She was practically a female bandit.
Even so, she was only slightly tipsy.
"You go and take them both home, I'm going to wash up."
"Sister-in-law, are you really alright?"
"It's nothing, thank you Caiwei, the cake was delicious." Mu Xiaowan knew this was Liu Caiwei's idea; Chu Shaoqing wouldn't know that desserts could improve one's mood.
"Thank you all for spending time with me today!" It feels so good to have someone by my side!
That's just how it is—you gain some, you lose some.
Chu Junbai was a little worried about her, but it was raining outside and he couldn't find a car to take her.
He said, "I'll be quick."
"No rush, the roads are slippery in the rain!"
When Chu Junbai returned, Mu Xiaowan was asleep on the recliner.
A few stray strands of hair playfully fell beside her cheek, adding a touch of languid charm to her appearance. A faint scent of wine filled the room, mingling with her unique aroma, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
At this moment, she was like a tranquil oil painting, so beautiful that one couldn't bear to disturb her beauty and just wanted to quietly stand by and admire her stunningly beautiful appearance as she slept soundly after getting slightly tipsy.
Chu Junbai closed the door, carried Mu Xiaowan upstairs, and then came down to tidy the table. While tidying the table, he saw a hardcover notebook on it with a sentence written on it: "In the end, I'm still like him; I can't learn to be completely hard-hearted."
……
Chu Junbai got up early.
After getting up, he went to the shop across the street to buy millet, put the honeycomb briquette stove outside, and cooked millet porridge.
Mu Xiaowan didn't wake up until she heard the hawking sounds downstairs, which forced her to wake up due to her biological clock.
She drank too much water yesterday and cried; her eyes look like peaches now.
After going downstairs, Mu Xiaowan took ice cubes from the refrigerator, put them in a towel, and applied them to her eyes.
Chu Junbai glanced at her and asked softly, "Are you alright?"
Mu Xiaowan opened her eyes and smiled slightly: "I'm fine. How can I not be fine if I only live for myself?"
Even if her father couldn't sever this family bond, she would never go back.
They all live for themselves.
"That's good!"
Mu Xiao'e's case was quickly resolved.
Mu Xiao'e was sentenced to three years in prison for intentional injury, intentional damage to property, and illegal intrusion into another person's residence.
Mu Xiao'e was unwilling to accept this, but he said that appealing would cost money, and hiring a lawyer would also cost money. She didn't have that much money, and she hated Mu Xiaowan even more, but she didn't dare to say a few words of abuse. Finding someone else would only result in her getting beaten up.
Mu Xiaowan's sadness was only temporary; her goal remained making money.
The surveillance was completed quickly.
When Ye Jincheng arrived, Mu Xiaowan and Chu Shaoqing were installing surveillance cameras.
He asked curiously, "What have you two been up to this time? This is so different from how Professor Lin teaches. Suddenly I feel like I don't understand anything at all."
Chu Shaoqing said with a smile, "Brother Ye, even if we hadn't studied with Professor Lin, you wouldn't understand these things."
