Chapter 26

Seeing sweat beading on his forehead, Jiang Muning reached out and affectionately wiped it away.

“Rest for a while if you’re tired.” Jiang Muning said softly.

Looking at the girl who cared about him, Qin Muye’s heart warmed. A rare smile appeared on his usually cold face.

“No need.”

Jiang Muning looked at his smile in surprise. He could actually smile.

She reached out and pinched his cheek, a smile in her eyes. “You look really good when you smile, smile more often.”

The soft touch on his cheek made Qin Muye stunned.

Looking at his reflection in her pupils, Qin Muye felt a little embarrassed and turned his head, continuing to work.

Seeing him work with more vigor, Jiang Muning’s face was bright with a smile.

After more than an hour, Qin Muye finally finished installing the simple shower equipment.

“Try it.” Qin Muye was economical with his words.

“Okay.” Jiang Muning excitedly stepped forward, turned on the faucet, and water immediately flowed down.

There were two pipes inside the pipe, mixing hot and cold water, so the temperature was just right.

“It worked!” Jiang Muning said happily.

Looking at the smile in her eyes, Qin Muye felt that the more than an hour of hard work was worth it.

After cleaning up the things on the ground, Qin Muye didn’t say anything, he turned around and went to clean up the lunch box.

When Jiang Muning returned to the hall, the diligent Qin Muye had already washed the lunch box and was ready to take it away.

Jiang Muning proactively hugged his narrow waist, feeling the heat radiating from his skin through his military uniform.

“I’ll cook dinner tonight.” Jiang Muning smiled brightly at him. “What do you want to eat?”

“Anything.” Qin Muye wasn’t picky, he ate everything she made.

“Spicy food too?” Jiang Muning raised her eyebrows.

Thinking about the spicy cabbage last night, Qin Muye felt a pain in his throat.

But his cold face didn’t change at all.

“Do you like it?” Qin Muye didn’t answer directly.

“I like spicy food.” The humidity in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai is high, occasionally eating spicy food can help remove dampness.

“Anything.”

“Okay, I’ll do whatever I want then.” Jiang Muning said playfully.

Qin Muye thought of something, he grabbed her hand and checked the wound from yesterday.

His thumb gently touched the delicate skin that had been cut.

“I’ll wash the vegetables.” Qin Muye said concisely.

Jiang Muning was amused by his demeanor. “You treat me like a porcelain doll? It doesn’t hurt anymore.”

Qin Muye didn’t say anything, he just looked at her seriously.

Meeting those deep eyes, Jiang Muning felt her heart pounding.

What exactly were his feelings for her?

Jiang Muning grabbed his hand, placed it on her slender waist, tilted her head, and blinked her long eyelashes. “Muye Ge, do you want to kiss me?”

Qin Muye’s breath hitched, his already low voice became even lower. “I have to go to the army.”

Hearing this simple and direct refusal, Jiang Muning understood: Sure enough, those affectionate eyes were deceiving.

“Then go.” Jiang Muning directly pulled his hand away.

Why did she seem angry? Qin Muye was puzzled, but he didn’t think much of it.

He had to go to the army immediately, it wouldn’t be long. Thinking of this, Qin Muye strode out.

This reaction, in Jiang Muning’s eyes, was like he had a wolf chasing after him, running as fast as he could.

Jiang Muning stood there, watching his figure disappear into the yard.

“It’s really smart to go for the physical pleasure.”

She could sleep, but she couldn’t sleep her way into feelings.

Whether in the modern world or here, Jiang Muning wouldn’t easily fall for a man.

Most men’s love is limited to before marriage.

After sorting out her thoughts, Jiang Muning walked briskly.

Humming a song, she sat in the chair, feeling comfortable and leisurely.

“Following the army is really the wisest decision, free and happy.” Jiang Muning said happily.

If she were in the countryside now, she might be ordered around and worn down by Wang Guifen.

Here, as long as she could handle Qin Muye, she would be the mistress of this house.

Thinking of Qin Muye’s reaction, Jiang Muning curiously muttered, “Who is Qin Muye’s white moonlight?”

He must have loved her deeply to be able to think of her for a lifetime.

But she knew that since she had followed the army, she would eventually meet her.

Coming to the yard, Jiang Muning looked at the empty space.

“I can set aside some space to plant flowers and plants, to decorate this monotonous home.” Jiang Muning murmured. “This season, I can plant some strawberries and vegetables, to cover up the things I take out from the space.”

Jiang Muning was a girl with strong action ability, once she had an idea, she would immediately take action.

She bought seeds from the space mall, and Jiang Muning began to cultivate and loosen the soil in the empty space, then planted the rose and strawberry seeds she had bought.

She also sprinkled some coriander and scallions, these could grow quickly.

Half an hour later, Jiang Muning finally finished, beads of sweat ran down her cheeks.

“I’m really not suited for being too diligent.” Jiang Muning sat in the chair to rest.

When she recovered some of her strength, Jiang Muning returned to the hall.

Looking at the empty house, she took out the money and tickets that Qin Muye had given her.

“I need to buy a TV and some small appliances, I guess this isn’t enough, I need to make more money.”

Although she had six hundred yuan, she only planned to use three hundred of it. Jiang Muning said, then she hid everything away.

The priority now was to go to the beach to make money, achieve financial freedom, and then she could buy, buy, buy without any worries.

Because she was going to the beach, Jiang Muning changed into pants, and tied her long hair into a ponytail, looking refreshing.

Her beautiful face could handle any style, even a simple style couldn’t hide her beauty.

Jiang Muning walked out of the house, just as she closed the door, a voice filled with hostility rang out. “Stop.”

Jiang Muning looked up and saw a girl about twenty years old with her arms crossed, looking at her with disdain.

She looked arrogant, as if she was above everyone else.

“You’re Captain Qin’s country wife?” Gu Qingluo said arrogantly.

She had heard people in the family courtyard say in the morning that Qin Muye’s wife was extremely beautiful. She didn’t believe it, in her opinion, country girls were all vulgar and uncouth.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Muning was really that beautiful, her face was flawless, as delicate as a peeled egg, even she, a girl herself, was almost mesmerized.

Gu Qingluo quickly shook her head, shaking off the inappropriate thoughts in her head.

Seeing the girl in front of her shaking her head like a silly child, Jiang Muning was puzzled. “What do you want?”

Gu Qingluo walked forward and said in a commanding tone, “Get a divorce from Captain Qin, you don’t deserve him.”

Hearing this, Jiang Muning laughed out loud, she said with a light smile, “Miss, who are you to Captain Muye? My marriage to him is none of your business.”

Gu Qingluo glared at her, she said loudly, “Captain Qin is my sister’s, it’s your fault for being shameless and clinging to him. If it weren’t for you, Captain Muye would have married my sister long ago.”

Hearing this, Jiang Muning’s eyes lit up, her voice was filled with excitement. “Who is your sister?”
