Chapter 179 Seduction
Suddenly, Chu Shaoze's eyes changed, and he squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth, "You surnamed Xing, I will make sure you rot in jail."
……
Mu Xiaowan has been acting like she's possessed lately, getting up before dawn every day and rushing to school in a hurry.
She works so hard not for anything else, but so that she can make her work legitimate as soon as possible.
Her job is a bit special and requires a lot of technical skills, so she has to travel to schools a lot.
And so, Mu Xiaowan embarked on a frenzied study mode, spending all her time at school. She also went to the library, keeping herself extremely busy.
Chu Junbai noticed that she was rarely seen and didn't go to the shop much, so he was curious about what she had learned.
I used to pick up Mu Xiaowan every day after get off work whenever I had time. But now, the pick-up point has changed from the shop to the school.
That day, Chu Junbai arrived at the school gate after get off work, just like he always did.
He stood beside the car, hands in his pockets, exuding an aura of authority that drew frequent glances from passing female students. Chu Junbai, however, paid no attention to any of this; his eyes were constantly searching for Mu Xiaowan in the crowd.
A short while later, Mu Xiaowan appeared.
Chu Junbai saw Mu Xiaowan's softened gaze turn icy the next second.
A male classmate was clinging to Mu Xiaowan, his eyes practically glued to her. Something he said made Mu Xiaowan's lips curl into a slight smile, a smile as gentle and warm as the first flower blooming in spring. They were completely oblivious to Chu Junbai's murderous glare.
Chu Junbai walked over, grabbed Mu Xiaowan by the collar, and pulled her to his side.
Mu Xiaowan was speechless; she wasn't a child.
Chu Junbai looked at the male classmate with a cold expression and piercing eyes, and said, "She is a married woman, please keep your distance from her."
The male student was intimidated by his aura and immediately said goodbye to Mu Xiaowan and left.
As they walked, they remarked, "How come all the pretty girls are already taken!"
Before Mu Xiaowan could react, Chu Junbai pulled her into the car.
Throughout the journey, Chu Junbai had a dark expression and didn't say a word. Mu Xiaowan wondered what was wrong.
Ate dynamite?
Back home, Chu Junbai remained silent.
Mu Xiaowan ignored him and went back to her room to continue studying.
Chu Junbai watched her retreating figure, feeling extremely frustrated.
He thought to himself, "How can someone as outstanding as me be inferior to those young lads?"
That evening, Chu Junbai thought about how many days they hadn't talked, so after taking a shower, he deliberately went shirtless and walked around in front of Mu Xiaowan with his bare chest.
His muscles were clearly defined, looking exceptionally sexy under the lights. Chu Junbai swayed back and forth while secretly observing Mu Xiaowan's reaction.
But Mu Xiaowan acted as if she hadn't seen anything, her eyes fixed on her book, her pen writing incessantly. Chu Junbai's expression shifted from anticipation to disappointment, his brows furrowing.
He was even blind to his favorite things. Now he was at his wit's end.
Over the next few days, Chu Junbai tried many methods. He bought Mu Xiaowan all sorts of things she liked and took her out for fancy meals, but Mu Xiaowan remained focused on her studies. Chu Junbai was somewhat frustrated; why were these methods suddenly no longer working?
That night, Chu Junbai lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. He looked at Mu Xiaowan, who was fast asleep beside him, and suddenly an idea struck him.
He leaned close to Mu Xiaowan's ear and whispered, "Xiaowan, I'll tell you a story about studying." Mu Xiaowan groggily hummed in response.
Chu Junbai began his story: "There was a girl who studied so hard that she neglected the people around her. Later, when she was in danger, the person around her risked their life to save her. Only then did the girl realize that some things are more important than studying."
Mu Xiaowan: "Are you done talking?"
"Ok!"
"What does this mean?"
Mu Xiaowan was so sleepy that she wondered if Chu Junbai was crazy.
What the hell are they talking about?
Chu Junbai was speechless.
"It's okay, I know you're doing this for work. But you should also take care of your health and not overwork yourself."
But those words were meant to comfort Mu Xiaowan; they were clearly meant to comfort himself.
Chu Junbai tried to seduce Mu Xiaowan, but she was only focused on her studies, so he had to give up.
He's a dignified captain; it would be so embarrassing if word got out.
He can handle a thousand troops but can't handle a little wife.
It's shameful, so shameful.
But he couldn't force himself on Mu Xiaowan; if he did, he could forget about ever stepping into this room again.
Ultimately, it's because the two of them weren't open and honest about their relationship; otherwise, his occasional use of force wouldn't have been a problem.
He didn't know what Mu Xiaowan was thinking, and he didn't dare to ask.
Mu Xiaowan is so busy right now.
Let's wait for a more suitable opportunity.
……
Mu Xiaowan looked at the batch of seemingly perfect noise-canceling headphones in the factory, her lips unconsciously curving upwards, her eyes filled with expectant light.
For this headset, she led her team to work day and night, consulting countless resources and conducting round after round of testing. Now, everything is ready, and it awaits its stunning debut.
However, during the factory testing, she never expected that there would be problems with this batch of finished products, even though there were no issues when the new products were tested previously.
The jarring sound of electricity was like a knife shattering Mu Xiaowan's joy.
The team members all kept their heads down, barely daring to breathe, and a tense atmosphere permeated the entire factory. Mu Xiaowan knew that this problem had to be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise not only would the company's reputation be severely affected, but the cooperation with the military would also be in jeopardy.
In the days that followed, Mu Xiaowan and her team immersed themselves in the laboratory. They meticulously inspected every component, analyzed every data point, and left no detail overlooked that might indicate a problem. They worked day and night for many consecutive days. Mu Xiaowan's eyes became bloodshot, and her dark circles deepened.
Meanwhile, news came from the military. In order to obtain better equipment, they agreed to postpone the factory's product delivery. Although this gave Mu Xiaowan some time, it also put her under immense pressure. She understood that the military had high hopes for these noise-canceling headphones, and she absolutely could not let them down.
Time flies, and the hot summer has arrived in the blink of an eye. After countless adjustments and improvements, the upgraded noise-canceling headphones have finally been successfully manufactured and are ready for shipment.
When Mu Xiaowan put on the headphones again, the world instantly became quiet, and an indescribable sense of accomplishment welled up in her heart.
I thought everything was finally settled and I could finally breathe a sigh of relief and sit back and count my money. But to my surprise, the military made a new request—someone needed to go to the military base to give a product presentation.
After discussion, Mu Xiaowan was deemed the most suitable.
President Qi had no choice but to ask Mu Xiaowan for help.
Mu Xiaowan was conflicted.
She was a person who had transmigrated from another body. The original owner of this body knew nothing about these professional knowledge. Although she had been studying hard during this time, she was still filled with anxiety.
What would Chu Junbai think if he knew she was the developer of noise-canceling headphones?
Would someone as intelligent as him doubt his own identity, or even send her for autopsy?
