Chapter 935 The Honest Girl Who Went Crazy (10)
Mu Zhou put on the dress, looked at herself in the mirror with satisfaction, and then put on the white cardigan that matched the dress.
It's perfect for both spring and summer.
She was looking in the mirror when she saw Gu Huaiyuan standing not far away.
She happily ran to his side:
"Second Brother Gu, you're back."
She nervously gripped the hem of her skirt and tilted her head slightly:
"Can I buy this dress? I promise I'll work hard from now on."
She really liked it, so much so that she didn't want to take it off.
If it weren't for the fact that it's too cold to wear them now, she would have loved to wear them back home right away.
Therefore, when she stared at Gu Huaiyuan, her gaze was exceptionally hopeful, as if flowing with a honey-colored halo, enveloping him tightly.
Gu Huaiyuan suppressed the momentary amazement that had just arisen and glanced at her with some surprise.
I thought she would be too shy to buy it, but I never expected that she would actually express her liking for it.
But then I thought about it again, and she was willing to drug him just to avoid the marriage her family had arranged.
Thinking about it this way, she was always someone who knew how to fight for herself.
Gu Huaiyuan's eyes flickered, but he finally nodded, his voice cold:
"Whatever you want, buy it if you want."
They didn't even get his permission to drug him, but now they're asking for his consent.

Around noon, Gu Huaiyuan took Mu Zhou to a well-known roast duck restaurant in Beicheng.
After Mu Zhou sat down, he quietly said to Gu Huaiyuan:
“I’ve heard of this restaurant. Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang’s son from the village came to Beicheng and mentioned the roast duck restaurant there.”
As they talked about it, she secretly swallowed her saliva.
I was just thinking how delicious it would be.
Unexpectedly, Gu Huaiyuan brought her here to eat.
Her eyes were dark and bright, blinking as she looked at Gu Huaiyuan, her eyes full of joy and affection for him.
Gu Huaiyuan seemed to be burned by the sincere yet bold expression in her eyes, and quickly looked away, giving a soft "hmm".
When the waiter comes to deliver the menu, push it in front of her.
"Order whatever you want to eat."
Mu Zhou pushed it back to him again:
"I don't know how to order, I've never eaten here before, Second Brother Gu, you can order."
Gu Huaiyuan thought so too, so he took it back and opened it.
"One roast duck, plus a serving of stir-fried chicken cubes, stir-fried shrimp chips, fresh mushrooms and bok choy, plus a serving of hot and sour soup, four ounces of rice, and three ounces of steamed buns."
After noting it down, the waiter couldn't help but ask:
Are there any more guests coming later?
Gu Huaiyuan shook his head:
"Just the two of us."
The waiter smiled:
"You've ordered too much. You can't finish it. Half a roast duck will be enough, and you don't need to order any steamed buns."
Gu Huaiyuan glanced at Mu Zhou, who was secretly glancing inside the store, and said to the waiter with a confident expression:
"We can finish it."
"……OK then."
After a while, all the dishes were served.
The roast duck was sliced and plated on the spot by the chef. Mu Zhou looked at it and thought it smelled delicious. His eyes lit up as he watched with great relish.
Once you actually taste it, you'll instantly feel your mouth filled with the rich aroma of oil.
The outer skin is crispy, the duck meat is tender and melts in your mouth. When wrapped in a thin pancake with sauce and cucumber shreds, the taste is even more rich.
She ate several in one go without getting tired of them.
Gu Huaiyuan looked up and saw her eating happily, then lowered his head again to drink a sip of soup.
Luckily, I ordered a whole one.

It wasn't until after the meal that Mu Zhou learned that their application for a small courtyard had been approved.
She immediately said she would go and see.
"The house has been uninhabited for a long time. Yesterday, someone just did some basic repairs. It still needs to be cleaned."
"That's perfect, I'll clean it up, I'm the best at cleaning."
Mu Zhou wanted to pat his chest and guarantee it.
But Gu Huaiyuan still didn't budge:
"There are too many places to clean. When I take my next vacation, I'll call a few of my men to help. We can clean them all at once then, and it will be quicker."
"Really, there's no need. I can manage, Brother Gu. I just ate such an expensive meal from you, and I'd feel bad if I didn't do anything."
Mu Zhou's plump little face became unusually wrinkled.
She couldn't explain it. Gu Huaiyuan wouldn't let her do anything, but she just felt uneasy and a little panicked.
Her grandparents told her from a young age that if she didn't work hard, she wouldn't get any food.
Later, when she arrived at the Li family home, Li's parents told her the same thing.
From then on, she had a survival guide.
That means you have to work hard to have enough to eat.
She's only being fed, but not being allowed to do any work, which makes her uneasy and unable to sleep.
I'm afraid that one day she won't get enough to eat.
Gu Huaiyuan was speechless for a moment after hearing her words.
His heart felt as if it were being tightly squeezed, making it hard for him to breathe.
After a moment, he said:
"Then I'll take you there this afternoon."
Mu Zhou then smiled:
"Yes, Second Brother Gu, don't worry, I'll handle it."

The couple's family compound was in the second row on the west side, and the compound was quite large. Mu Zhou was very satisfied as soon as he entered.
The house has four rooms, two of which are bedrooms, and there is a toilet and a shower room in the yard.
A small path was also built in the yard.
It's obviously been refurbished.
The room has a bed and a set of cabinets, so it's fairly well-equipped.
"I had another set of cabinets and tables and chairs made, and they will be delivered today."
As Gu Huaiyuan was speaking, the sound of brakes came from outside.
They were indeed there to deliver goods.
After all that fuss, everything in the house was finally all there.
Gu Huaiyuan took them to the cafeteria for a meal, and after the meal, the two returned to pack their things.
Most of the small items have been prepared in the mall; now all that's left is to clean up.
"Leave it to me. I can finish cleaning in a day at most, and you can move in the day after tomorrow."
Mu Zhou counted the things he had to do on his fingers.
Gu Huaiyuan had already bought the quilt, and even the bed sheets and duvet covers were bought ready-made at the mall.
Otherwise, you'll have to wait several days after buying the fabric and finding a tailor to make it.
So, there's nothing really important going on.
Mu Zhou was finally able to play his role, and he was radiant.
Gu Huaiyuan let her have her way, only saying:
"There's no rush to move in, you don't need to..."
Before he could even utter the words "too tired," Mu Zhou said:
"Of course I'm anxious, how could I not be? I want to move in as soon as possible."
Seeing that she was very excited, Gu Huaiyuan didn't discourage her.
She eats a lot, so she must have a lot of energy.
Anyway, tomorrow's training isn't too demanding, so I'll come over early after he finishes and we can clean together.
That's what he thought, but when he returned the next day, the house had been completely renovated.
The house had been cleaned inside and out, and the quilts had been aired and were neatly laid out on the bed.
Hearing the noise, Mu Zhou looked through the kitchen window and saw him return. She waved to him.
"Second Brother Gu, you're back! Perfect timing, we only need one more dish to eat."
Wearing an apron, she deftly tossed the wok with one hand, ladling the vegetables onto a plate.
Gu Huaiyuan quickly arrived at the kitchen.
His gaze swept over the drastically changed house, and a strange feeling suddenly welled up in his heart.
A clean and tidy room, a kitchen full of the warmth of home cooking, and his wife smiling at him from the window.
It was as if this really was his home.
He seemed dazed for a moment.
