Chapter 65 She Seems Kind of Cute
Mu Xiaowan quickly stated, "I'm just curious. If it's confidential, please don't say it, otherwise I'll feel guilty."
Chu Junbai's lips curled up slightly at one corner, forming a mocking arc.
His "wife" is really something else.
"You're quite observant. Where did you see that?"
“When I went to the army, I saw Xiaohu talking to someone while holding a black lump.”
Xiao Hu was Grandpa An's former driver and is now a company commander. He has visited the house several times, so Mu Xiaowan remembered him.
"Actually, it's not that we can't say it. Those black bumps are called walkie-talkies. The ones we're using now have too much static, the signal is weak, and the range is small. So we're looking for some private companies to see if we can get a batch of more advanced equipment." Ye Jincheng thought Mu Xiaowan wouldn't understand, so he spoke with confidence.
"So you only care about quality, not which company makes it?"
"Strictly speaking, that's true. Of course, you have to find a reputable shop with a long registration history and that offers security guarantees." Ye Jincheng didn't mention that they also needed to check the owner's background to prevent any listening devices from being installed in the walkie-talkie.
Seeing that Mu Xiaowan was very interested in this matter, Chu Junbai glanced at her a few more times.
Can she understand it?
Why are you so interested?
Mu Xiaowan asked casually, "Are there any suitable vendors right now?"
"There is one, but you always have to compare prices from several options."
"Then you are really lucky to do business with us. I hope that when my shop opens, I can sell what you need, and then you will become my big customers."
Arrived at the door of the house.
Chu Junbai parked the car, but instead of turning around, he looked out the window and said calmly, "Doing business is about being down-to-earth and honest. Don't think about taking shortcuts. You're selling to the public. As long as the quality is good and the price is right, you won't have to worry about not being able to do business."
Mu Xiaowan's lips moved slightly, then she smiled and said, "Captain Chu is right, I was too hasty."
She was originally thinking of asking if she could see the finished product if she could get her hands on it.
It seems like we should just forget about it!
She'll only get herself into trouble by doing that.
She still let Chu Shaoqing secretly get one, and she took it apart to check the components.
Anyway, they just went to the market, so the vendors must be from there. You can easily find out by asking around.
Mu Xiaowan got out of the car and saw Chu Junbai sitting still. She casually asked, "Aren't you going home?"
"I have to go back to my unit."
Mu Xiaowan was planning to go back and tell him about Chu Shaoze.
"Is something wrong?"
"Well, there is something like that. Now that I know, I should tell you. As for whether it's important or not, I don't know."
Ye Jincheng glanced at the couple. Although he knew about the contract, he thought Mu Xiaowan was quite nice, and Chu Junbai was getting on in years and had been single all these years without taking the initiative.
Since things have come to this, we might as well make the best of a bad situation and continue the marriage.
He should still lend a hand!
Ye Jincheng said, "Then you should go back today. Let's leave early tomorrow. I'll come pick you up. It's no problem!"
Chu Junbai glared at Ye Jincheng.
Seeing this, Mu Xiaowan quickly said, "I'll finish in a minute. Why don't you come down for a bit? You can leave once I'm done."
Ye Jincheng has already gotten off the bus.
He opened the car door, pulled Chu Junbai out, and climbed into the car himself.
"Wait for me!" Chu Junbai patted the car door.
"Alright, go ahead!"
Chu Junbai followed Mu Xiaowan and walked more than three meters away from the car.
Before I could even speak, I heard the roar of the car engine.
The two looked at the car, but all they could see was white smoke and exhaust fumes.
Mu Xiaowan blinked. "Um, should we go back and talk about it?"
It was really cold; she felt numb all over.
"Ok!"
As soon as Mu Xiaowan heard that she was going home, she quickly ran home.
Chu Junbai watched her swift figure, like a little rabbit, and inexplicably found her somewhat adorable.
Is she really that afraid of the cold?
Mu Xiaowan rushed into the house and felt the warmth inside, which made her feel alive again.
Chu Shaoqing ran out as soon as he heard the noise.
"Sister-in-law, when I heard the car, I thought it was my second brother. You're back quite early. I thought I'd have to wait a while."
Chu Shaoqing quickly helped Mu Xiaowan with her bag and helped her change her shoes.
Then he saw his second brother come in through the door.
He asked in surprise, "Second brother, did you and sister-in-law come back together? Did we bump into each other at the door?"
Mu Xiaowan said in a low voice, "I ran into them at the market."
"You and your second brother are really destined to meet, you even managed to run into each other here."
Mu Xiaowan glanced at him and asked, "Why aren't you going home so late? What are you doing here?"
Chu Shaoqing leaned close to Mu Xiaowan and whispered, "I noticed you hadn't eaten much, so I packed up the rest of the roast duck and put it in your room so Grandpa and Grandma wouldn't see it and wouldn't nag you."
Chu Junbai frowned. Did he think he was dead?
He grabbed Chu Shaoqing by the collar and threw him aside. "It's almost nine o'clock, aren't you going home yet?"
"Okay, I'll head back now."
Chu Shaoqing stayed to curry favor with his sister-in-law, and now that everything was fine, he said to Mu Xiaowan as he left, "Sister-in-law, I'll come over for breakfast tomorrow morning, and we'll go to the shop together."
Chu Junbai turned around and looked at his younger brother's back. He was initially worried that the boy's enthusiasm would only last for three minutes, but he didn't expect that he would really change his mind. Was it because of Mu Xiaowan?
After greeting the elders in the living room, the two went upstairs.
In the living room, Grandpa Chu said, "Shaoqing has finally started to do something serious. I didn't expect Junbai's wife to be so capable, managing to tame our most difficult son so well."
Grandma Chu scoffed, "What kind of skill is that? If you're so capable, you can tame our Junbai."
"They're married now. What's the point of talking about being tamed or not? When a couple lives together, mutual respect and consideration are the most important things."
Grandma Chu didn't like what she was hearing. She covered her eyes and said, "What do you know? You should hurry up and finalize the wedding arrangements for Shaoze and Muxue with the An family. I'm still waiting to hold my grandson."
Jiang Yinglan glanced at her husband.
Chu Huaizhi gave her a comforting look.
Return to the bedroom.
Jiang Yinglan said, "Although Xiaowan and Junbai are living together now, Junbai still seems as cold as before. Have they not slept together yet?"
"Don't worry about the children, just let nature take its course."
"How can I not be anxious? If An Muxue marries into the family, the old lady already dotes on Shaoze. If she has a child before Xiaowan, then Xiaowan will have even less status."
Jiang Yinglan sat in front of the dressing table and elegantly took off her earrings. "Although I don't like Xiaowan either, she is our wife, and it's hard not to see her suffer."
“I’ll talk to Junbai when I’m done, but don’t have too high expectations. This kid has always been opinionated, and we can’t persuade him.”
Jiang Yinglan sighed.
Marriage is a matter of fate; we can only leave it to destiny.
Just as Mu Xiaowan was about to go upstairs, the power suddenly went out. Her vision went dark, and she panicked. She stepped into empty air, stumbled, and fell backward.
