Chapter 61

Apart from being arrested and dismissed, Xiaotao would probably be subject to administrative punishment as well.

With that, one of the accomplices who had indirectly led to the original owner’s death had received her due punishment.

Now, only Wang Guifen remained.

In the evening, Jiang Muning, feeling a little tired, sat on the edge of the bed and patted her calves.

Qin Muye walked into the room, came to her side, and knelt down: “What’s wrong?”

“I’ve been a bit tired today, my legs are a bit sore. I’ll soak my feet later.”

To create the feeling of fatigue from the boat ride back, Jiang Muning had worked hard in the space all day and hadn’t drunk any spiritual spring water to relieve her fatigue afterwards.

Hearing this, Qin Muye replied in a low voice: “I’ll get you some water.”

“Okay.”

Qin Muye got up and walked towards the water room. Jiang Muning lazily lay down on the bed, tiredly staring at the ceiling.

“The female lead’s halo is so strong, I wonder what kind of things might happen. The plot has completely deviated from the original plot, Qin Muye and that Gu Manli, they shouldn’t develop according to the original plot, right?”

Jiang Muning muttered to herself, thinking carefully.

Qin Muye returned to the room with a basin of hot water and placed it on the ground.

Just as Jiang Muning was about to take off her shoes, Qin Muye grabbed her hand.

Jiang Muning looked at him in confusion, only to see him silently take off her small leather shoes and then place her white and slender feet into the hot water.

“Muye?”

“I’ll help you.” Qin Muye said in a low voice.

Jiang Muning was stunned, watching him grab her feet and rub her small feet with his thumb.

Jiang Muning hadn’t expected that Qin Muye would help her wash her feet.

Looking at the man in front of her, feeling his rough fingertips rubbing her feet, she had an indescribable feeling.

After soaking her feet, Jiang Muning and Qin Muye lay down on the bed together.

As soon as they lay down, the tall figure moved closer to her, a cool aura enveloped her.

Jiang Muning raised her head, and the next second, she fell into a hot embrace.

Adjusting her position in his arms, Jiang Muning lazily looked at him and teased: “Hugging me for so long, afraid I’ll run away?”

“Hmm.” Qin Muye hugged her, his nose against her forehead, greedily inhaling the air that belonged to her.

“Don’t worry, as long as you treat me well, I won’t run away.” Jiang Muning’s hand rested on his abs.

She hadn’t touched them in a long time, the lines of his abs seemed even harder now.

“Ningning, I miss you so much.” Qin Muye said hoarsely.

In all these years in the army, he had never missed someone as much as he had in the past month.

Jiang Muning raised her head and said coquettishly: “I don’t miss you, you didn’t even answer my calls.”

“I really didn’t know. I went to the communication room to ask a few times, and they all said they didn’t have any calls from you.” Qin Muye felt guilty and kissed her eyes lightly, “I’m sorry, I made you think too much.”

The soft warmth fell on her eyes, Jiang Muning’s eyelashes fluttered. Looking at the man in front of her, Jiang Muning smiled sweetly: “I’ll forgive you this time, but there’s no next time.”

“Okay.”

Qin Muye hugged her and replied softly.

That night, Qin Muye didn’t do anything, he just gently hugged her, expressing his longing in this way.

The next day, Jiang Muning got up at eight o’clock.

For the past month, Jiang Heng had been knocking on the door at 8:30, forcing her to get up.

So, she gradually got used to it.

In the room, Jiang Muning sat at her desk and took out the blank notebook she had prepared earlier.

The weather had been noticeably warmer these past two days, and she wanted to design some clothes quickly and then find a professional tailor to make them.

Thinking about the hot weather, Jiang Muning designed a few cool tank tops and shorts, as well as knee-length chiffon dresses.

So, she spent the entire morning diligently drawing.

At noon, Qin Muye came home for lunch, bringing a floor fan.

“This is a supply from the army. It’s a bit hot, and the fan will come in handy.” Qin Muye said, then took the fan back to the room.

As he was about to leave, he accidentally saw her designs.

Looking at the drawings, Qin Muye’s eyes showed obvious surprise.

“Are these all for wearing?” Qin Muye asked in surprise.

“Yeah, since it’s hot in summer, you can’t wrap yourself up too tightly. Besides, I bought some sweat-wicking and breathable fabrics before, so wearing them will be cooler.” Seeing his work, Jiang Muning said casually.

Jiang Muning’s design drawings not only included the pattern of the clothes but also drew figures and the effect of wearing the clothes.

Muye looked at one of the hot pants designs and frowned slightly: “So short?”

The current mindset was still a bit feudal and traditional, Jiang Muning raised her eyebrows: “Do you think it’s inappropriate?”

“It’s a bit short.” Qin Muye answered honestly, “Although I don’t agree, I respect your opinion.”

Although Qin Muye thought that revealing clothes were inappropriate and could easily attract criticism, everyone had the freedom to dress as they pleased, and he couldn’t interfere with that.

Jiang Muning was surprised, she hadn’t expected his answer to be like this.

“If I really think it’s inappropriate later, I’ll just wear the hot pants at home, the other designs aren’t that short.” Jiang Muning smiled.

“Okay.”

“I also designed two sets of sportswear for you. I’ll go to the department store to look for some quick-drying fabrics later.” Jiang Muning added with a twinkle in her eyes.

Qin Muye’s eyes lit up, his deep eyes filled with obvious surprise: “There are some for me?”

“Of course.” Jiang Muning wouldn’t be partial. Since she had designed a few for Jiang Heng, Qin Muye had to have some too.

Qin Muye, receiving the answer, couldn’t be happier.

Seeing him smiling so happily, Jiang Muning poked his cheek: “Go wash your hands and get ready for dinner.”

Qin Muye stood straight and saluted Jiang Muning: “Yes, wife!”

Jiang Muning was amused by his actions, her eyes filled with a deep smile.

After lunch, Jiang Muning and Qin Muye went out together. Jiang Muning wanted to go to the post office, and Qin Muye accompanied her.

They walked hand-in-hand in the family housing area.

“I want to send money to my parents, do you have any objections?” Jiang Muning asked curiously.

Over the past month, through farming in the space and digging for snails and fishing, Jiang Muning had earned two thousand yuan.

Li Cuilan and Jiang Guochang were, after all, the original owner’s biological parents, and they loved her very much, so Jiang Muning wanted to show her filial piety on the original owner’s behalf.

“It’s your money, it’s your freedom to give it to whomever you want.” Qin Muye said truthfully, “The money I give you, you can also give it to them. They are your parents, and they are also my parents.”

Last night, as soon as he came back, Qin Muye had voluntarily turned in his salary.

“I’ll give it to my mother-in-law next month. Once every three months, not before, do you have any objections?” Jiang Muning asked.

“Hmm, you’re the head of our family.” Qin Muye replied in a low voice.

Wang Guifen had bullied Jiang Muning several times, and Qin Muye also had a temper.

Therefore, even though she had called twice to ask him to send money back, he had brushed her off with the excuse that it wasn’t time yet.

Jiang Muning was in a good mood: “You have to remember, you are my man. I left my parents and brother to marry into your family, if you don’t protect me, then I don’t need to stay in this family.”

Qin Muye tightened his grip on her hand and replied resolutely: “Okay.”

Not far away, Gu Manli heard their conversation, her eyes flashing with cunning.
