Transmigrating to the 80s to Become Stepmom to Five Bigwigs

Chapter 205: Compensate A Wife? Can the Compensation Be You?

Shao Qiyang rolled his eyes. “Are you crazy? How are you going to fit in front when you’re so big?”

“You won’t let me hug you from behind… I really don’t feel safe sitting behind you. Just let me sit in the front.”

Shao Qiyang firmly refused, but he couldn’t stop Ji Buwang from harping on about it. He even deliberately hugged him tightly, and in the end, he also wheedled and tickled him.

Shao Qiyang didn’t know what to say. Things had already come to this, yet why was Ji Buwang still in the mood to make a fuss? However, he didn’t know that Ji Buwang was actually feeling uneasy, which was why he deliberately spoke to keep himself occupied and divert his attention so that he wouldn’t be so irritable.

After struggling for more than half the journey, Ji Buwang felt like his buttocks were in immense pain, as if he had undergone intense exercise.

Meanwhile, Shao Qiyang was also covered in sweat due to Ji Buwang’s hug. He suspected that he would go crazy if Ji Buwang hugged him any longer. He had no choice but to give in.

Thus, in the afternoon, when Mu Jingzhe bumped into them at the village entrance, she saw Ji Buwang sitting in front and Shao Qiyang sitting in the back with his arms around Ji Buwang.

Ji Buwang’s hair was still long and it was swaying in the wind. Behind him, Shao Qiyang had to avoid being swept by his hair, and his face was filled with impatience and forbearance.

However, because he was handsome, his impatience and forbearance weren’t detestable. Instead, one could see a hint of compromise and… affection.

Don’t ask Mu Jingzhe how she could tell. In any case, she could. Or perhaps, it was her imagination.

It couldn’t be helped. The sight of the two of them inevitably reminded Mu Jingzhe of her two male colleagues in the past.

Besides her experience with her two male colleagues, there were also movie and tv productions featuring male celebrity couples of various types. Although Mu Jingzhe had never shipped any of those couples before, she had watched quite a few of them. Everything else aside, a pair of two gorgeous men was really pleasing to the eye.

Mu Jingzhe, whose mind had been corrupted, couldn’t help but look at this beautiful scene through a corrupt lens. Even the look in her eyes was different. Needless to say, they were really compatible. Very compatible. They were much more compatible than Mu Jingzhe and Ji Buwang.

Indeed, whether one was worthy or not didn’t depend on gender. It was all about one’s appearance. Male or female, two good-looking people looked compatible together.

Countless images flashed across Mu Jingzhe’s mind, and she even added background music to it. Beautiful background music was very important. Mu Jingzhe carefully chose a song, and at that moment, Ji Buwang and Shao Qiyang walked up to her.

Ji Buwang kept feeling that Mu Jingzhe was looking at them strangely. Although he didn’t know why, he kept some distance from Shao Qiyang vigilantly.

However, when he pulled away, he saw disappointment flash across Mu Jingzhe’s eyes. Disappointment? What was going on? Why was she disappointed?

“What are you thinking about?” Ji Buwang asked with furrowed brows.

“I just thought that you and Shao Qiyang looked very compatible…” Mu Jingzhe, who was recalling the background music, casually answered when she heard the question.

She then shut her mouth abruptly, but it was too late. Ji Buwang had already heard her.

Previously, he had interacted with Mu Jingzhe a lot and knew that she sometimes had strange ideas. Normally, when people talked about whether two people were compatible or not, they were talking about men and women. However, Mu Jingzhe could match a man and a woman, a man and another man, and a woman with another woman. Although she had only casually said that they were pleasing to the eye and hadn’t meant anything else, this had left a deep impression on Ji Buwang.

It was one thing for her to think of someone else like that, but now she was even thinking of him in that way. Furthermore, it was with Shao Qiyang.

Ji Buwang’s expression darkened. When he’d heard that Shao Qihai wasn’t dead, he had felt anxious to death, but she still had the time to think about all this.

“Get rid of the images and thoughts in your mind. Now.”

“Oh, alright.” Mu Jingzhe felt a little sheepish and finally stopped thinking of this nonsense.

Shao Qiyang hadn’t heard their first words and only saw that Ji Buwang was fierce to Mu Jingzhe. He frowned. “Why are you so angry?”

With furrowed brows, he asked, “Where’s my brother?”

Mu Jingzhe’s eyes lit up. “He’s at home. Someone went to see him.”

Why would Mu Jingzhe come to the village entrance? She had fled from home because Mu Xue had gone to see Shao Qihai!

Initially, Mu Jingzhe had still been thinking of ways to set him up with Mu Xue. In the end, Mu Xue had shown up at the Shao Residence. When she’d entered, she hadn’t seen Mu Jingzhe, as she only had eyes for Shao Qihai.

Mu Xue had specifically gone to see Shao Qihai. Shao Qihai had returned yesterday, but she hadn’t been at home. When she’d heard about it in class, she had been stunned on the spot.

Back when Shao Qihai had suddenly died, she had hidden under the covers and cried for several nights, feeling sad for him. Now that it had turned out he hadn’t died and had returned home, she had tried to hold herself back. In the end, she couldn’t help but go to the Shao Residence to take a look after class.

Upon seeing Shao Qihai’s familiar face, as if nothing had changed, Mu Xue let her tears fall instantly.

She had gone through a lot in the past year. She had fallen in love with Tang Moling, gotten engaged, and had her engagement annulled. There had been both glorious and humiliating moments. Compared to a year ago, she had gone through a lot.

After everything that had happened, she saw Shao Qihai again. It had been a year, yet he still hadn’t changed. His determined gaze reminded her of the first time she had met Shao Qihai after he’d retired from the army.

After going around in circles, she felt the same way she’d felt the first time she had met him.

Tears rolled down Mu Xue’s face. “It’s so great that you’re not dead. It’s wonderful…”

She then pounced on Shao Qihai. Seeing that the two were about to hug each other, Mu Jingzhe was afraid that Shao Qihai wouldn’t dare make a move if she was around, so she quickly slipped away.

She had to give them space to interact and create opportunities for them to spend time with each other. Only then could their relationship be reignited and her plan be implemented.

It would be even better if there was a shotgun marriage.

After going out, she’d sauntered to the village entrance and met Shao Qiyang and Ji Buwang. Mu Jingzhe’s eyes lit up when she thought of Mu Xue, but when she saw Shao Qiyang, she felt a little guilty.

She had been preoccupied while trying to set up Shao Qihai and Mu Xue, so she had forgotten about Shao Qiyang. Speaking of that, she had really let him down. Previously, she had even encouraged Shao Qiyang, but in the end, Shao Qihai had returned. From the looks of it, the two first lovers’ feelings for each other might be reignited. What a pity for this devoted supporting actor, though.

However, relationships couldn’t be forced. It was better to deal with the pain now than let it drag on. Mu Jingzhe was afraid that Shao Qiyang would be agitated if he went in and saw them, so she quickly told him what had happened.

“Erm… Mu Xue went to see Shao Qihai. Qiyang, don’t take it too hard. I was spouting nonsense previously, so don’t take it to heart. If all else fails, I’ll compensate you with a wife. I’ll definitely find you a new one.”

That’s right. If all else failed, she would think of a way to compensate him with a wife. As long as she put in some effort, she would definitely be able to do it!

Mu Jingzhe made up her mind. Shao Qiyang looked at Mu Jingzhe and smiled bitterly. Why did she still think that he liked Mu Xue? However, when he heard that she would compensate him with a wife, Shao Qiyang’s mind was filled with the following thought: Can the compensation be you?

He wanted to blurt this out on impulse, especially when he heard that Mu Xue and Shao Qihai had gotten together again. He felt that since his brother didn’t cherish Mu Jingzhe, he would.

In the end, Ji Buwang spoke up first, not giving him a chance. “Shao Qihai and Mu Xue? Is there anything else in here that I don’t know?” Hadn’t Mu Xue been engaged to Tang Moling previously?

Shao Qiyang and Mu Jingzhe’s expressions were a little strange when they heard his question. “Actually, the person who truly proposed marriage to Mu Xue was Shao Qiyang.”

This summary was very accurate.
