Chapter 162 Nightmare
Chapter 162 Nightmare
After hearing footsteps, Mu Xiaowan tidied herself up, pretending to have just woken up.
"After we finish eating, I'll take you home to your family compound."
"What's up?"
"The house over there is ready. Pick a time and we'll move in."
"It's quite nice living here. You'll remember this when you get there. It's also close to your workplace, so you won't have to travel back and forth anymore. Chu Shaoqing is here to help me."
Chu Junbai's face darkened. Mu Xiaowan was trying to draw a line between them.
“I’ve already promised my family that I’ll be wherever you are. You decide on a place, and we’ll settle down. Or maybe you want to live in both places.”
Chu Junbai is determined to live with her.
"Captain Chu, we're partners, you don't need to make a fuss about this. As long as you can appease your family, that's fine, isn't it?"
Could this man be serious?
He doesn't seem like the kind of person who's casual about relationships.
It's just that I took a nap.
"In my opinion, even if you're going to bluff, you have to do it properly. I don't like doing things half-heartedly," Chu Junbai said earnestly and seriously.
It gives the impression that Mu Xiaowan can't afford to play this game.
Mu Xiaowan was speechless. This person seemed alright on the other hand, so why was he so stubborn?
“Actually, we can both relax a bit. As long as we don’t live at home, our families won’t know what’s going on between us. Why put ourselves in such a shackle?” Mu Xiaowan blinked.
Is this an attempt to act cute?
Chu Junbai's heart skipped a beat.
He didn't know when it started, but this woman's every move had such a great influence on him.
But the woman refused to acknowledge him after he pulled up his pants, leaving him helpless.
"This is my consistent principle in doing things." Chu Junbai said expressionlessly, sticking to his principles.
Mu Xiaowan gave up, "Alright, then it's up to you."
"I won't force you to do anything, you just need to tell me where you'll be staying on which day!"
This way, he can choose where he should live.
"it is good!"
Mu Xiaowan originally thought that she could work for a while after sending Chu Junbai away.
To everyone's surprise, Chu Junbai put a coat on her without saying a word, carried her downstairs, and put her directly in the car.
Do I really have to go see this house today?
On the way home, they encountered many people. Chu Junbai generously introduced Mu Xiaowan, but Mu Xiaowan couldn't remember who was who at all, and just kept calling her "sister-in-law".
Looks like I'll have to stay in shops from now on.
She doesn't like socializing.
She found the women's chatter annoying.
Seeing that she was forcing a smile, Chu Junbai stopped causing her trouble and went straight upstairs.
Looking at the furniture arranged in the house, Mu Xiaowan looked at Chu Junbai in surprise, "You bought everything from that day?"
These pieces of furniture cost a lot of money. Is he out of money?
"They are all necessities."
"We still need bedding and sofa cushions. You'll have to buy those; I can't look after them."
“I asked my sister-in-law to help me start the fire, and now that we’ve moved into this house, it’s not cold.”
The heating has indeed been turned off.
After watching, Mu Xiaowan felt awkward being alone with Chu Junbai, so she made an excuse about having work and Chu Junbai took her home.
As soon as Mu Xiaowan returned to the shop, she asked Chu Shaoqing to accompany Chu Junbai. She threw herself into her work, which demanded extremely high attention to detail. She had to handle every step personally, and this time Chu Shaoqing couldn't manage it.
Mu Xiaowan worked until night.
She gradually became frustrated as she couldn't figure out the problem over and over again.
Just then, Chu Junbai came up, forcing her to stop, which made her angry.
"What exactly do you want?" Mu Xiaowan asked in a low voice, her brows furrowed.
“We’re husband and wife, it’s perfectly reasonable for me to sleep here.” Chu Junbai stared straight at her, his eyes filled with questioning, but even more so with grievance.
He can't even sleep peacefully anymore?
Mu Xiaowan turned her head away. She wanted to say that she only wanted to focus on her career right now. Men were too unreliable, and she didn't have time or want to be in a relationship.
But, forget it!
She turned to leave, but Chu Junbai grabbed her arm.
“If you don’t want to, I won’t touch you. You don’t need to avoid me.” Chu Junbai’s voice rose unconsciously.
Mu Xiaowan pushed his hand away. "I'm going to sleep. I still have work to do." With that, she walked out the door without looking back, leaving Chu Junbai standing alone in the bedroom with a complicated expression.
With so much work to do, if they lived together every day, she wouldn't have time to work at all. After thinking it over, Mu Xiaowan decided to talk to Chu Junbai.
But when Chu Junbai heard that they would be living separately, his face darkened.
"Even if we live together, I promise I won't bother you, and I'll treat you like a normal roommate."
Is there no room for negotiation?
Mu Xiaowan was speechless.
As a result, Mu Xiaowan started having nightmares at night.
She dreamt that Chu Junbai had started "pursuit mode".
She went to work, and Chu Junbai waited for her downstairs at the company.
She ran into Chu Junbai at the coffee shop she went to.
Mu Xiaowan was so annoyed by Chu Junbai's pursuit that her work efficiency was affected.
At an important cooperation meeting, Mu Xiaowan was under immense stress because she was constantly worried that Chu Junbai would suddenly appear, which caused her to perform poorly and the cooperation ultimately failed.
Then she dreamed of being in modern times.
Chu Junbai was dressed in a suit and tie, looking dignified and respectable.
in the park.
Under the moonlight, the two sat on a bench, the atmosphere somewhat heavy.
"Chu Junbai, stop bothering me. You're seriously affecting my life and work."
Mu Xiaowan's voice was weary.
Chu Junbai looked at her with sincere eyes, "Xiao Wan, I just want you to see my true feelings. I can support your career and won't be a burden to you."
As he spoke, Chu Junbai ripped open his clothes, revealing his muscular physique. "Don't you like my body? I'm yours from head to toe."
Mu Xiaowan swallowed hard when she saw the eight-pack abs, and her fatigue seemed to vanish instantly.
She fell silent, a ripple appearing in her eyes. "Then... let's give it a try? But you must keep your promise and not interfere in my affairs."
And so, the two began their shameless and carefree cohabitation.
Even though Mu Xiaowan tried her best to keep her life separate from Chu Junbai's, she would obediently submit to him as soon as he showed his muscles, driven by lust.
Suddenly, Mu Xiaowan was awakened by the urge to urinate. Seeing Chu Junbai holding her tightly beside her, Mu Xiaowan felt the overflowing desire within her and suddenly kicked Chu Junbai away in anger.
This product is very difficult to produce, and Mu Xiaowan is extremely dissatisfied. The other party demands a finished product within three days, or they will switch to another supplier.
Mu Xiaowan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. After sending Chu Junbai away, she didn't sleep for two days and two nights, revising it again and again, but it still couldn't be completed.
When Liu Weiguo came to visit Mu Xiaowan, he saw her haggard appearance. Mu Xiaowan remembered that he had mentioned knowing a research professor, so she took the initiative to ask him for help.
Liu Weiguo used his connections to contact a veteran researcher and asked for his help. With the professor's assistance, Mu Xiaowan finally succeeded before the deadline.
