WeChat Video Call. Lin
“In my eyes, it’s all you, you know what I mean…”
Xiao Yu held his phone, watching Mu Qingwu on the screen while ignoring his son, who rolled his eyes and sang sweet, saccharine tunes.
“How shameless!”
Even as a mature and commanding woman, she exuded a bewitching charm—a flawless blend of elegance and allure, like a honey-dripping peach tempting you to take a bite.
Winking playfully at her pesky little brother, she teased, “Mu Mu is watching!”
“I wasn’t paying attention.”
The two-year-old boy extended his chubby little hands to cover his eyes and, in a pretend grown-up tone, declared, “I’m used to it anyway!”
“Hahaha!”
The couple burst into laughter at their child’s antics.
“Look at my little treasure.”
Xiao Yu suddenly thought of his daughter.
The video shifted to the baby carriage, focusing on the delicate, little infant.
He admired his well-behaved daughter, gazing at her irresistibly cute face.
Xiao Yu’s heart melted as he murmured, “Xiao Wu, be good. Dad will be home soon, okay?”
“Goo goo gaa gaa…”
The little one waved his hand exuberantly, babbling with delight.
“Wonderful!”
Xiao Yu grinned with the contentment of a proud father.
Mother and son shook their heads in unison.
No saving it!
“Sis, can we have a little private chat?”
The video angle shifted, and Xiao Yu’s gaze returned to Mu Qingwu, his eyes burning with desire.
Mu Qingwu’s moist eyes shimmered softly, tender and alluring.
Xiao Mu: …
How infuriating—these parents are at it again with their outrageous antics.
We don’t need you chasing people; why can’t we just leave on our own?
“Xiao Wu, be good. Brother, let’s run away together!”
The two-year-old, not even as tall as the baby carriage, pouted adorably.
He pushed the baby carriage toward the hall.
“Hahaha!”
Xiao Yu and Mu Qingwu erupted into laughter once more.
After a while…
“There’s a shipment coming.”
Mu Qingwu wiped the smile off her jade-like face.
Xiao Yu: ???
Wait, sis, what exactly is this about?
He asked in bewilderment, “What shipment?”
“The organization has issued an order.”
Mu Qingwu smirked at her dumbfounded younger brother, “At 4:30 PM five days from now, a batch of secret materials will be stored in the community hall. As the contact, I expect you to show up, collect them, and bring them home!”
Damn… Xiao Yu stared at Mu Qingwu in shock.
The little elder sister is on fire!
Organization… courier organization, huh?
Secret materials… you mean packages?
Contact person… fine, it’s the delivery we ordered, no doubt.
Five days later… so sis expects me to be home in five days?
If you miss me, just miss me—what spy drama are you playing?
Torn between amusement and frustration, Xiao Yu snapped into character and nodded seriously, “If nothing goes wrong, I should be able to get back within five days to collect the shipment!”
Five days seem too tight—I wonder if I can pull off this case.
Since sis misses me… I’ll do my best!
“Then I’ll be waiting at home. I hope to see that shipment brought back!”
Mu Qingwu’s eyes grew even softer, more captivating.
Though she was secretly pleased, she pursed her lips coyly—utterly enchanting!
“Is this shipment called…”
Xiao Yu, smiling fondly, asked earnestly, “Packages?”
“Excellent. No wonder you’re our company’s top spy.”
Holding back a laugh, Mu Qingwu continued, “This mission will have a secret code, split into two parts.”
“Huh?”
Xiao Yu nearly burst into laughter.
Aren’t you finished yet?
“The first part is…”
Mu Qingwu winked mischievously, “I am Lao Liu!”
Xiao Yu: …
That’s too much!
“Once you hear the first part, you must reply with the second.”
Mu Qingwu’s lips curled as she added, “I am Lao Ba!”
“Pfft!”
Xiao Yu spluttered, “Sis, I imagined the scene—what if the courier sees me and I’m like, ‘I’m Lao Ba’? Geez, is our village that backward?”
“So, will you say it or not?”
Mu Qingwu narrowed her eyes at her exasperated brother.
“Uh… well,” Xiao Yu stammered, red with embarrassment.
“Are you hesitating?” Mu Qingwu’s pretty face turned stern.
“I’m not…”
Xiao Yu’s scalp prickled as he blurted, “Listen, let me explain!”
“I don’t care why.”
Coolly, Mu Qingwu replied, “My little brother is not the same as he used to be!”
Damn it, she was already on the defensive… Xiao Yu was about to explode, “I didn’t…”
“I don’t care.”
Mu Qingwu’s elegant aloofness returned, “I only know that you hesitated!”
At his wit’s end, Xiao Yu pleaded, “Sis, you listen to me…”
“I’m not listening.”
The refined Mu Qingwu whispered coolly, “You hesitated anyway.”
“Sis, you know me,” Xiao Yu hurriedly defended himself.
“Wait a minute…”
Mu Qingwu raised her elegantly arched brows, “Are you yelling at me?”
(⊙_⊙)?
Did I just yell?
When did this happen… Xiao Yu was dumbfounded.
“You’re actually getting angry with me?”
Mu Qingwu smiled coldly, “Why should I be yelled at?”
Xiao Yu: (￣□￣!)
“Aren’t you saying nothing?”
Mu Qingwu sighed, “So, you really don’t love me anymore?”
“No, it’s me who’s at fault.”
Xiao Yu nearly burst into tears, “I shouldn’t have spoken…”
“You did yell at me.”
Mu Qingwu lowered her head, looking sadly pitiful.
Exhausted, Xiao Yu almost collapsed during the video call.
“Little brother…”
Suddenly, Mu Qingwu lifted her face and looked intently at Xiao Yu, “Do I look like I’ve been studying?”
Holy crap… Xiao Yu nearly spat blood.
I knew it—this vibe is so off.
How could this possibly be the real Mu Qingwu?
(Wang Li’s) “Too late. My forty-meter broadsword has already been plunged in.”
Xiao Yu gritted his teeth, “Respect our comrades in victory… we don’t dress our allies in enemy uniforms!”
Sis is so mischievous—I wish she could understand the brutal severity of a whip!
“Haha!”
Mu Qingwu giggled sweetly, laughing with such infectious energy.
Her eyes crinkled and her lips curled upward.
That genuine joy shone through on her flawless face.
“Little brother.”
Mu Qingwu chuckled, “Want to hear a secret?”
Xiao Yu’s eyes lit up with anticipation as he asked, “What is it?”
“Kids aren’t allowed to kiss.”
With a dreamy, coquettish glance, Mu Qingwu purred, “But big sisters sure can!”
Damn it… Xiao Yu quickly ended the video call.
If he didn’t, he feared he might race back to Bincheng overnight.
Take down that female demon!
