Chapter 46 The Red Kiss Mark
"Xiao Wan, what's wrong? Tell your second aunt what's wrong. Did Jun Bai bully you? If he really dares to bully you, tell your second aunt and your second aunt will stand up for you."
Mu Xiaowan let out a long sigh.
"He's been busy ever since we got married, and eventually we started sleeping in separate rooms. Yesterday, I don't know what happened, he first got very angry with me, and then..."
Mu Xiaowan hesitated, then lowered her head shyly.
"He seems quite upright, but his personality... is too changeable."
She accidentally tugged at her pajama sleeve, revealing a red hickey.
Bai Jiao'e finally felt relieved when she saw the ambiguous marks on Mu Xiaowan's body.
Moreover, it seems there's more good news.
Mu Xiaowan and Chu Junbai developed a rift, which gave her an opportunity.
“Junbai has been like this since he was little; his personality is indeed very changeable. Don’t worry, your second aunt will help you persuade him.”
Bai Jiao'e rolled her eyes and said, "But you have to tell Second Aunt what he usually does? Only by observing what he does can we determine what he is thinking."
"Second Aunt, will this really help me?"
“Since you told your second aunt about this, she will definitely help you. You should have done this a long time ago. Your mother-in-law doesn’t like to talk, and Junbai is her son, so she will naturally side with her own son.”
“I’m different. Although we are family, we don’t have any direct interests, so I can see things more clearly.”
Mu Xiaowan nodded, and to show that she would cooperate, she told Bai Jiao'e everything about Chu Junbai, including his eating, drinking, sleeping, and even how late he worked.
Until Bai Jiao'e grew impatient.
“Xiao Wan, is it just these trivial things in life? Jun Bai has always prioritized his career. His joys and sorrows change with his work, so you also need to understand what he does every day.”
Mu Xiaowan nodded.
Seeing that she couldn't get any useful information out of her, Bai Jiao'e said a few more words and then left.
Mu Xiaowan was exhausted and slept until evening.
She couldn't sleep. She wanted to talk to Chu Junbai, but by midnight he still hadn't seen him or received a phone call.
Two nights later.
Chu Shaoqing was having Mu Xiaowan teach him how to assemble watch parts when he heard the door open. The two of them looked towards the door together.
Then Chu Junbai returned, looking chilly.
Seeing the two of them with their heads close together in a close manner, Chu Junbai's face darkened.
Mu Xiaowan and Chu Shaoqing are getting closer and closer.
This seemingly shrewd young man is actually quite naive; he's being taken advantage of without even realizing it.
"Why are you still here so late?" His voice was devoid of any warmth.
"In the snow, there's nothing you can do. I asked Shaoqing to teach me how to assemble a watch, but after watching for a long time, I still couldn't understand anything."
Chu Shaoqing: "..."
He believed his sister-in-law's lies without batting an eye.
"Have you eaten? If not, I'll ask Aunt Zhang to make you something."
"have eaten!"
Chu Junbai took off his coat as he walked towards them.
Seeing that Chu Shaoqing was indeed repairing the watch very seriously, he said, "It's getting late, you should go back."
"it is good!"
Chu Shaoqing didn't want to go back; he wanted his sister-in-law to teach him a little more.
But with his brother around, his sister-in-law would definitely not be exposed.
After Chu Shaoqing left.
Mu Xiaowan closed the door and said, "I have something I want to talk to you about."
Do you remember what happened that night?
Chu Junbai's expression changed slightly, and if you looked closely, you could see the embarrassment on his face.
However, he didn't understand what Mu Xiaowan meant by asking that question.
Mu Xiaowan sensed that her question was a bit hesitant, so she continued, "I mean, did you experience any unusual symptoms that day? Do you remember what happened afterward?"
"Let me start with myself. That day, I felt weak all over and couldn't muster any strength. I still can't remember what happened after that."
She skillfully avoided revisiting her actions from before she lost her memory.
Anyway, she did nothing wrong; everyone else was at fault.
Unexpectedly, Mu Xiaowan would talk to him about this so openly.
He did remember some of what happened that night.
Just as he was getting out of control that day, Mu Xiaowan cried out in pain.
He then regained a little bit of his senses.
He was so reckless that he didn't even realize he had pressed down on Mu Xiaowan's injured arm.
At the same time, he was also glad that Mu Xiaowan's arm had a problem, otherwise things would have gotten out of control.
But seeing that Mu Xiaowan was in great pain, he not only took a cold shower himself, but also gave Mu Xiaowan a cold shower twice.
Of course, he not only took a shower, but also did push-ups all night and drank a lot of water.
Mu Xiaowan was unaware that her discomfort was not only due to the medicine she had taken, but also because she had actually caught a cold.
"What about you? Do you feel like something's not right?"
"I did feel unwell that day."
"So, have you discovered anything?" Chu Junbai wanted to know whether Mu Xiaowan and her second aunt were colluding.
Did she know beforehand?
Mu Xiaowan had no idea that Chu Junbai also considered her a suspect.
Mu Xiaowan said, "I've thought about it again and again. We definitely won't have any problems eating hot pot that day. Besides the water in our pot, the only other thing we ate was the soup that my second aunt gave us. If you also feel unwell, then it proves that there was something wrong with my second aunt's soup."
It seems she and her second aunt were not in cahoots.
The reason he hasn’t come back these past two days is because he doesn’t know how to face Mu Xiaowan, and he doesn’t know how to explain the hickeys on Mu Xiaowan’s body.
Even if they knew it was their second aunt who did it, they could only suffer in silence. They were husband and wife; if they did something between husband and wife, people would say they couldn't control themselves.
Therefore, the investigation was only to gain some understanding, and could not solve his predicament.
He was still thinking that if Mu Xiaowan pursued the matter, he would have to bear the responsibility for the rest of his life, and the three-year contract would also be void.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned, Mu Xiaowan brought up this matter with him, her gaze clear and open.
It seems that he misunderstood.
Then he shouldn't have been a coward.
"I did some things that I shouldn't have done that day, and I will take responsibility."
Since it was caused by human intervention, Mu Xiaowan couldn't really hold anyone accountable.
"Since it was unintentional on our part, there is no responsibility involved."
Seeing Mu Xiaowan's magnanimity, Chu Junbai felt even more guilty.
"Oh, the day you left, my second aunt asked me some questions about you. It seemed like she wanted to confirm something?"
"I only told you about eating, drinking, and relieving myself. As for work, I didn't know anything about it."
"However, she did tell me to tell her about my work."
Chu Junbai looked at Mu Xiaowan, whose eyes were like a clear spring, bright and clear.
This made him even think that he had misunderstood everything that had happened before.
Or is this just a stopgap measure by Mu Xiaowan?
If that's true, then her shrewdness is truly astonishing.
"I'll be busy with work in the future, so I'll probably be staying at the military base more often. I'll leave you my phone number; you can call me if you need anything."
"But the calls are all forwarded. If it's something important, I'll talk to you when I get back." There are some things that are inconvenient to say over the phone.
Chu Junbai quickly left a phone number after finding a pen and paper.
"I called you here today for another matter. The task you asked me to do for you has been completed!"
