Chapter 115 Why Are You So Nice to Me?
Chu Junbai took two steps but heard no movement. He turned back to look at the person on the bed and saw that Mu Xiaowan was fast asleep and unaware of anything. All he had said was nonsense.
How heartless.
Being in a room with a strange man and falling asleep so quickly every time—does it mean you think he's incompetent, or do you simply not take him seriously?
Chu Junbai's face darkened.
He looked down at Mu Xiaowan's feet.
Mu Xiaowan was afraid of the cold, so except for half of her head, the rest of her body was covered up very tightly. This was what is called a tight seal, so that absolutely no cold air could get in.
Chu Junbai initially didn't want to bother with it anymore, but after taking a couple of steps, she stopped. Her feet were hurting so badly, and she had to go to the shop tomorrow; she couldn't just ignore them.
Chu Junbai heated a needle over a fire, took the medicine, and sat down at the foot of the bed. He was worried about waking Mu Xiaowan, so he moved very gently, but he couldn't pull it out at all because Mu Xiaowan was pressing too tightly.
Chu Junbai gradually increased the force until he finally managed to pull it out.
Because he pulled too hard, Mu Xiaowan made a noise, and she muttered, "Is it crazy that you're disturbing my sleep?"
She raised her foot and kicked Chu Junbai in the stomach, then quickly pulled her foot back, like a turtle poking its head out and immediately retracting it when it sensed danger. She then turned over and continued sleeping.
Chu Junbai paused for a moment, then lifted the blanket and picked up the needle.
……
Mu Xiaowan was woken up by her biological clock. She really didn't want to get up, but thinking about making money, she struggled and struggled again. Finally, she stretched out her arms to force herself to get up. But when she stretched out her arms, it felt like she hit something that felt like skin.
Mu Xiaowan noticed something was wrong and tilted her head to look, only to see Chu Junbai's slightly tired and dark eyes.
Her fist was slamming into Chu Junbai's face.
She quickly pulled her arm back.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm used to living alone."
Mu Xiaowan quickly apologized, but after apologizing, she suddenly remembered something and froze. The next second, she hurriedly lifted the blanket and saw that she was wearing pajamas. Only then did she remember that she had come back with Chu Junbai last night.
Unexpectedly, what happened before left her with a lingering fear, and she worried about whether she was wearing clothes whenever she saw Chu Junbai.
Chu Junbai couldn't sleep either, so he threw off the covers, got out of bed, and took a basin to wash up.
After changing her clothes, Mu Xiaowan looked for a hair tie to put her hair back on and saw medicine on the bedside table.
She sat on the edge of the bed and lifted her foot, seeing that the blister had burst and her heel was wrapped in gauze. Was this... something Chu Junbai had done for her?
Was she asleep last night?
It seems she was exhausted yesterday; she didn't even feel the pain anymore.
No wonder it didn't hurt as much when I walked this morning.
Chu Junbai came in through the door and saw Mu Xiaowan staring at his feet. He looked away and pretended not to see it.
He quickly changed his clothes.
Mu Xiaowan turned around and saw Chu Junbai buttoning his cuffs. His fingers were rough but slender, and with a gentle twist, he fastened a button. His movements were elegant, and you couldn't tell at all that he was a military general.
"Thank you!"
"Why are you so good to me?" Mu Xiaowan asked, then was a little stunned.
She had only thought this to herself, so why did she ask it out loud?
Chu Junbai paused for a moment and said, "If you were limping and others saw you, they would think that our Chu family couldn't support you and that's why you had to suffer like this."
"Besides, I invested in that shop. If you don't make money, I'll lose money too. If your foot doesn't heal, it will affect the shop's business."
Mu Xiaowan muttered softly, "I thought you were genuinely good to me."
Seeing the shoes Mu Xiaowan wore when she went out, Chu Junbai's lips slowly curled up.
……
Compared to Mu Xiaowan's wedding, An Muxue and Chu Shaoze's wedding was simply too extravagant. If it weren't for the fact that China's reform and opening up had just begun and it wasn't advisable to be ostentatious, they probably would have held an even more extravagant event. Even Old Master Chu couldn't help but say that they didn't know how to be low-key.
Old Master Chu relied on his military achievements in the first half of his life, and in the second half, he relied on his low-key lifestyle to maintain his stability. Even the turbulent years did not affect him.
However, his low-key demeanor did not deter Bai Jiao'e from showing off.
Bai Xiao'e wished that all the major newspapers would report on this matter.
Now that her son has a marriage alliance with the An family, his future is unstoppable. In the future, she wants her son to be in charge of this provincial capital.
Bai Jiao'e walked with her back straight as if it had been measured with a ruler.
Today is her most beloved son's wedding, and the whole family wants to have a grand and glorious occasion so that everyone can see how pathetic Chu Junbai's wedding was back then. She wants to make Chu Junbai a laughing stock.
"Why hasn't Mu Xiaowan arrived yet? She's waiting to help with the cooking." Bai Jiao'e looked around but couldn't find Mu Xiaowan, so she grabbed Chu Shaoqing, who was eating pumpkin dumplings. "Why hasn't your second sister-in-law come yet?"
"Oh, we had an order this morning, so my second sister-in-law will probably be a little late. I was supposed to go, but she said I'm a boy and I'm efficient at work, so she let me stay and help you."
Bai Jiao'e slapped him on the shoulder, "You're more trouble than you're worth. You'd better get your marriage arranged with Liu Caiwei as soon as possible."
"Mom, my older brother can marry the woman he likes, so why can't I? Don't worry about me, I'll walk my own path in the future."
"You're always hanging out with that brat, what kind of woman do you think you'll end up with? I'm your mother, would I possibly ruin you?"
Chu Shaoqing wasn't buying it.
"Even if you're my mother, you have to respect my thoughts. You can't force things. If I'm unhappy in the future and we get divorced, won't you be even more anxious?"
"Shaoqing, what are you doing here? Hurry up and change your clothes to help pick up the bride." Uncle is the consul today, and he is in charge of arranging all the wedding matters.
"Uncle, I don't understand anything, I'm not going, you find someone else." Chu Shaoqing was most annoyed by these kinds of things.
"No, that won't do. You're my younger brother. You have to go."
"If you really want your younger brother to go, why don't you just send Dongchen? He's not far away."
Chu Shaoqing turned and left.
"Hey, this kid..."
Bai Jiao'e smiled awkwardly and said, "If it doesn't work out, let Dong Chen go. This kid looks older, but he's not as steady as Dong Chen."
When Mu Xiaowan returned, she saw a group of young people teasing the bride and groom.
Chu Shaoze truly loved An Muxue and always kept her in his arms.
She glanced around and saw that the greenhouse was huge, almost endless. Everyone sitting there was either a relative or a colleague, and they all had an air of importance. Mu Xiaowan couldn't help but sigh inwardly that the Chu family's status was truly extraordinary.
However, this kind of pomp and circumstance was something she didn't have.
When she married Chu Junbai, she did whatever she could to deceive him; it was nothing compared to what she did back then.
Chu Junbai was distributing drinks to each table when he saw Mu Xiaowan come in from the door and stand there without being greeted...
