Chapter 156 Jealousy
"Captain Chu, we don't really need to buy such expensive furniture. Are there any other furniture stores? Let's look around elsewhere."
Chu Junbai has used all his money to invest in her shops, so he probably doesn't have much money left.
She doesn't have much money on hand right now, and she's planning to do other things, so she's not in a hurry to enjoy this moment.
"It doesn't matter where you buy it, just tell me which one you like." Chu Junbai could tell that Mu Xiaowan thought the things here were too expensive.
“I don’t have any requirements for these things, and I’m not in a hurry to move in right now. You can have them custom-made.”
He even said he wasn't particular about things.
Chu Junbai has been sleeping in Mu Xiaowan's bed for the past two days. Mu Xiaowan has chosen the best mattress and blankets for him, and the quality is even better than what they use at home. Although the two of them are sharing a bed, he is sleeping very comfortably.
"Okay, listen to you!"
It's been cold these past few days, and the heating isn't warming the house properly. It's better for him to stay in the shop for now; the bed there is smaller and more suitable.
While Mu Xiaowan was in the restroom, Chu Junbai ran back to the furniture store.
How could Mu Xiaowan know? Chu Junbai had all the things he had looked at sent home.
Since neither of them went home, and the shops here couldn't cook, they had to buy food in the afternoon.
Chu Junbai didn't want Mu Xiaowan to be tied to the stove, and Mu Xiaowan herself had no intention of cooking.
Her cooking wasn't very good, and he didn't like cooking either; she disliked washing dishes even more. So naturally, she wouldn't bring it up.
That evening, when Chu Junbai saw that Chu Shaoqing still hadn't gone home, he kicked him and said, "It's already past 7 o'clock, why aren't you leaving yet?"
"Aren't you two going back? That way I won't have to ride my bicycle."
Chu Junbai wanted to kick him again. This kid usually seemed the smartest, so why was he so clueless right now?
"Your sister-in-law and I won't be going home tonight. We've already told our families."
Mu Xiaowan was doing the accounts when she looked up from behind the counter and said, "You and Shaoqing should go back. The beds here are too narrow, and you're so big, you won't sleep comfortably."
Is this a way of getting rid of him?
Chu Junbai was displeased.
He glared at Chu Shaoqing, "Get out of here!"
Chu Shaoqing pursed his lips, "Fine, let's go then."
Chu Shaoqing inwardly despised his elder brother; his sister-in-law had already told him to go back, but he shamelessly stayed.
Seeing that Chu Junbai had no intention of returning, Mu Xiaowan asked, "Captain Chu, are you going back to the team?"
"..."
You can't stand him that much?
Chu Junbai acted as if he hadn't heard her. After Chu Shaoqing left, he went to the washroom and found a broom. "Weren't you worried? I'll stay here for two days. We'll talk about it when you feel more at ease."
Mu Xiaowan understood. She had said last time that she was very worried about Chu Shaoting and needed to look after the shop here. Chu Junbai was worried about her.
However, she said this to her family, and it wasn't really true.
Besides, Chu Shaoting certainly wouldn't dare to make any further moves now.
There was no need for her to hide her relationship with Chu Junbai.
Mu Xiaowan followed behind Chu Junbai, intending to explain things to him, "Well, actually I..."
Just then, the doorbell rang, welcoming guests.
Two men came in through the door.
The leader was Liu Weiguo, followed by his driver, whom Mu Xiaowan recognized after seeing him a few times.
He was carrying two buckets.
"Mr. Liu!"
"Boss Mu, a friend of mine who runs a farm sent me some shrimp and crabs. I can't eat all of them by myself, so I'm dropping some off for you since I'm on my way. Consider it a favor. It would be a shame to throw them away."
Mu Xiaowan hadn't eaten shrimp and crab in a long time, and she really missed them.
However, Liu Weiguo's appearance made it seem as if he had come specifically to deliver it to her.
"Mr. Liu, this is a rare item. If you want money, I'll keep a bucket. If you don't want money, I dare not accept it."
“Boss Mu, if that’s how you put it, then I should come and give you money another day. If it weren’t for your help last time, I would have lost a lot of money. I haven’t had a chance to thank you for that yet. I’ve been busy lately and was planning to take some time to treat you to a meal. If you’re going to be so formal, then I really will bring you money to your door.”
Mu Xiaowan remembered telling him about the government's land requisition last time.
How long has it been? She's forgotten.
"We are partners, and besides, I just stumbled into this by chance. Mr. Liu, you're too kind."
“Then I’ll take one bucket. You and Caiwei can take the other one back to eat.”
"I have more, put these down for you." Liu Weiguo told the driver to put both buckets down.
At this moment, Chu Junbai came out of the cleaning room.
The two looked at each other.
They both saw the sharpness in each other's eyes.
"I didn't expect Captain Chu to be here too!" Liu Weiguo put his hands in his pockets. In his eyes, Chu Junbai, whom others dared not disrespect, was just a poor soldier, so he wasn't afraid at all.
In Chu Junbai's eyes, Liu Weiguo was a capitalist who reeked of money and wasn't even worthy of carrying their shoes.
“I am Mu Xiaowan’s husband and the investor of this shop. Isn’t it normal for me to be here?”
"Oh, Mu Xiaowan and I moved out these past couple of days and are living here, so there's nothing strange about it."
Liu Weiguo smiled, but there was a hint of coldness in his smile.
Chu Junbai strode over to the bucket, and upon seeing what was swimming inside, a fishy smell wafted towards him, causing him to furrow his brow.
“Mr. Liu, if you were really going to give this away as a gift, you should have cooked it properly instead of bringing it here untouched. My wife is very clean, and now the whole shop smells like the sea.”
Chu Junbai didn't even like to eat fish, always finding it to have a foul, fishy smell, so he naturally disliked these kinds of things.
"This stuff is all about freshness. Does Captain Chu not know how to cook it? If not, I'd be happy to help."
How could Chu Junbai possibly allow Liu Weiguo to show off his skills to Mu Xiaowan?
Sima Zhao’s heart!
"No need for that. If my wife likes it, then let's keep it."
He turned to Mu Xiaowan and asked, "Wife, do you like to eat this?"
Mu Xiaowan: "..."
What is Chu Junbai up to?
At that moment, he was like a lion whose territory was threatened, his tone exuding a dangerous aura.
Is she feeling embarrassed? Resentful that other men are making a scene in front of her?
In any case, they are partners, so it's only right that they cooperate.
"Since Mr. Liu has brought it, let's keep it."
Chu Junbai said to the driver, "Since my wife likes it, then please take it inside."
The driver glanced at Liu Weiguo, somewhat dissatisfied. This was personally selected by Boss Liu; it was large and of good quality. How much would it cost? Why weren't they satisfied?
But since General Manager Liu didn't speak, how could he dare to say anything? He could only reluctantly carry the bucket into the cleaning room.
Liu Weiguo didn't linger; he glanced at Chu Junbai and then left.
"Are you two working together?"
Chu Junbai looked Mu Xiaowan up and down.
