Chapter 128 I hope she sleeps in my arms
"you've been drinking?"
Mu Xiaowan's smile faded, and her eyes gradually hardened.
"We're in a marriage of convenience. I don't care if you find other women, but I'm having a drink, why are you interfering? Put me down!" Mu Xiaowan kicked her legs.
Seeing that she looked unwell, Chu Junbai didn't insist and gently placed Mu Xiaowan on the bed.
Mu Xiaowan wrapped herself up tighter and lay down.
It seems she can't get out of this door today. Since she can't get out, she might as well stop struggling and make herself miserable. Anyway, she didn't intend to go out.
Chu Junbai saw three boxes on the dressing table. He had been taken to eat Western food by Ye Jincheng once, so he naturally knew that they were desserts.
It's surprising that Liu Weiguo, a businessman smugly focused on money, would have such a taste for bourgeois sentiments.
He's quite good at charming girls.
Therefore, Mu Xiaowan spoke to him in a lukewarm manner.
Chu Junbai really wanted to take those eyes off the table and throw them away, but wasting food was shameful.
He had originally planned to pick up Mu Xiaowan from the shop, but then he received a call from Ye Jincheng asking if Mu Xiaowan had returned. Only then did he realize that Mu Xiaowan had gotten into Liu Weiguo's car. He waited at home, but she didn't show up. Unexpectedly, she had gone to eat Western food.
They also drank alcohol.
Inviting a woman to dinner and then making her drink alcohol—Liu Weiguo is clearly no good.
The woman in front of me is the same; she dares to drink even when she goes out with men she doesn't know well.
Chu Junbai put his hands on his hips and looked down at the woman who was ignoring him.
Mu Xiaowan saw him being hugged by An Muxue with her own eyes. Even if nothing happened between him and An Muxue, it was still his fault for ignoring her and he couldn't bring himself to ask her the questions he wanted to ask.
It seems he needs to apply for a house. Since An Muxue is living here, it's best for him to come back less often. He trusts himself, but he can't trust An Muxue.
I wonder if Mu Xiaowan will move out with him?
Ever since that midnight kiss, Mu Xiaowan's face would pop into his mind from time to time, and he would have some disgusting dreams at night. He used to go to see Ye Jincheng after get off work whenever he had nothing to do, but now he goes home instead.
Seeing that Mu Xiaowan didn't intend to talk to him, Chu Junbai turned and left.
Hearing the car, Mu Xiaowan assumed Chu Junbai had left and immediately locked the door.
Chu Junbai was about to drive away when he realized he wasn't wearing a coat. He sat in the car and smoked a cigarette, then got cold. He ran for half an hour until he was sweating before going back to wash up and go to bed, only to find the door locked.
Chu Junbai's face darkened. Did Mu Xiaowan really not want him to come back?
Mu Xiaowan must be asleep by now, and knocking on the door would wake up the family, so he decided to think of a solution himself.
Jiang Yinglan came out for a drink of water and saw Chu Junbai, dressed in thin clothes, coming downstairs. She yawned and asked, "Why aren't you sleeping so late? Where are you going?"
When Chu Junbai approached, she saw that he was covered in sweat, and quickly turned around to find a towel.
"Why don't you wash upstairs? You'll catch a cold running back and forth like this."
"Mom, it's okay. I can't sleep, so I'm going out for some exercise. You should go to sleep."
"What's the point of exercising? You're all sweaty, and it's freezing outside. Don't catch a cold."
Jiang Yinglan returned quickly with a towel, but Chu Junbai was nowhere to be seen.
She muttered to herself, "What are those two kids up to? They've been restless upstairs all night. Did Xiao Wan kick Jun Bai out?"
After leaving his house, Chu Junbai stared at the glass of his window, hoping it wasn't locked, otherwise he would have nowhere to go tonight.
Rock climbing used to be a compulsory course for them, so it was easy for him. He climbed to the second floor in no time, and luckily, the window was open.
Chu Junbai was afraid of frightening Mu Xiaowan, so he tried to move as quietly as possible.
Fortunately, they didn't wake me up.
He found a washbasin and a towel, opened the door, and went to wash off his sweaty body.
With the presence of an unstable factor—An Muxue—Chu Junbai locked the bathroom door after entering.
After washing up, Chu Junbai quickly returned to the house.
Chu Junbai woke up several times in the middle of the night.
Is Mu Xiaowan disgusted with him, or is she angry?
She usually snuggles into his arms, but why is she sleeping so soundly and motionless today?
Is the heating too hot today?
After thinking it over, Chu Junbai got out of bed and turned off the heating in the room.
Now, he no longer believed that Mu Xiaowan wasn't cold.
He waited with his eyes open, hearing the creaking of wood, the sound of water from the radiator, and the sound of the cold wind outside. The clearest sound he heard was Mu Xiaowan's breathing; she even let out a soft cry, as if she was feeling unwell.
Dreaming?
A long time passed, but Mu Xiaowan not only didn't react, she wrapped herself up even tighter.
Chu Junbai was no longer calm.
He hesitated for a moment, then finally took action.
He tugged at Mu Xiaowan's blanket, but seeing no sign of her waking, he tugged again, gradually pulling the blanket away. Then, with a slight effort, he lifted the blanket off. Chu Junbai rolled over, pulled out the corner of the blanket that was under Mu Xiaowan, and threw the blanket on the floor.
He then climbed onto the bed, lay down in his spot, and waited for Mu Xiaowan to roll over to him because she was cold.
Sure enough, the trick worked, and Mu Xiaowan stirred. Seeing this, Chu Junbai quickly moved closer to Mu Xiaowan, closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep. But after a while, when Mu Xiaowan didn't come looking for him, he slightly opened his eyes and secretly looked at her.
Then I thought, it's so dark, she can't see anything, so what if he has his eyes open?
He simply kept his eyes wide open, watching Mu Xiaowan's every move. He often had missions at night, and over time, his eyesight became exceptionally good; the people in the team called him "night-vision eye."
Therefore, he could see clearly everything Mu Xiaowan did.
Mu Xiaowan hadn't opened her eyes yet, and was touching this and that with her hands. Chu Junbai was afraid that she would wake up completely because she couldn't find the blanket, so he pushed his blanket towards Mu Xiaowan's hand.
Mu Xiaowan took the bait as expected, and pulled hard on the blanket to cover herself.
Chu Junbai didn't move at first. He waited until Mu Xiaowan was sound asleep before pulling back the covers and getting in.
If Mu Xiaowan finds out, he'll say she stole his blanket; if she doesn't, that's just what he wants.
However, Mu Xiaowan was unusually well-behaved tonight, remaining unmoved even when he offered himself to her.
Doesn't he feel hot?
Unable to sleep, Chu Junbai tossed and turned, becoming restless again. He pulled Mu Xiaowan's arm and placed it on his body, feeling her coldness before he felt at ease.
Mu Xiaowan slept soundly as if she were in a coma, little did she know that Chu Junbai was like a lunatic, staying up all night and tossing and turning.
The next morning, Mu Xiaowan woke up in Chu Junbai's arms. After a few seconds of stunned silence, she pushed Chu Junbai away.
Is there something wrong with this man?
He wants to have women on both sides, doesn't he?
What are you thinking?
Chu Junbai was woken up by a nudge. He went to bed late and was feeling sleepy.
After Mu Xiaowan pushed him away, she realized that he was covered with Chu Junbai's blanket, and she felt a little embarrassed.
But she couldn't admit her mistake, wait...
"Didn't I lock the door yesterday? How did you get in?"
Chu Junbai pinched his brow with his strong fingers and said, "The window!"
"Aren't you leaving?"
"I went to the car to find something."
Mu Xiaowan looked embarrassed.
Just then, Chu Junbai suddenly frowned, his nose filled with a strong smell of blood.
He threw back the covers and sat up. Just then, Mu Xiaowan pointed at Chu Junbai's lower body and exclaimed softly, "Chu Junbai, why are you bleeding?"
Chu Junbai was stunned. He looked down and was dumbfounded. There was a pool of dried blood under his body.
