Chapter 222: Let’s Go, Find a Place to Kiss

Chapter 222: Let’s go find a spot for a kiss.

The details of the case are now clear.

Wang Mei was indeed murdered, but not by Yu Shaoyang.

Is Yu Shaoyang innocent?

Not at all.

For starters, he entertained murderous intent—he wanted to kill his ex-girlfriend.

It just so happened that Peng Junlong, along with Second Brother and Third Brother, intercepted him.

The rest goes without saying…

So Yu Shaoyang now faces an attempted murder charge.

When an avalanche falls, can a single snowflake be blameless?

Indeed.

Had Yu Shaoyang not turned murderous, not returned to the Villa with Wang Mei, and not been seen by Second Brother and Third Brother,

perhaps Wang Mei might have survived.

But… Xiao Yu has another theory.

Just as he initially suspected that Wang Mei was nothing more than a superficial charmer.

And charming women always take great care of their appearance.

Isn’t it odd for a woman like that to, after a breakup, still pester Yu Shaoyang and make a scene?

Could it be that…

Wang Mei’s outburst with Yu Shaoyang was orchestrated by Second Brother and Third Brother?

The aim… to lure Yu Shaoyang in order to satisfy some perverse desire—to murder him?

Could it even be that the very design of the Villa was intended to fulfill that dark fantasy?

This would also explain why Second Brother handed the Villa over to Wang Mei.

Because Wang Mei had long been their target.

Only this line of reasoning comes close to making sense.

Then, where is Wang Mei’s body?

Xiao Yu forcefully banished that thought from his mind.

He couldn’t bring himself to dwell on something so gruesome.

His sister arrived, bringing dinner along.

Xiao Yu worried that if he kept thinking about it, he wouldn’t be able to eat.

Wang Mei’s cause of death has been determined.

Next up is the arrest of Second Brother and Third Brother.

No rush—let’s eat first…

……

Night.

A warm breeze wafted by.

At the entrance of the Criminal Investigation Team.

A young couple sat on the steps.

An indescribable warmth floated around them…

“Eat slowly!”

In a caring, almost maternal tone, Mu Qingwu teasingly dabbed a tissue to wipe food from her brother’s face.

Somewhere along the way, caring for Xiao Yu had become as natural as breathing for her.

As she looked at him, her gentle, watery eyes shimmered like a shallow lake reflecting glittering gems, her eyelashes fluttering with an entrancing beauty…

“Hehe!”

Xiao Yu chuckled and continued wolfing down his food.

With a forgiving shake of her head, Mu Qingwu watched him eat, her crescent-moon eyes reminiscent of a celestial beauty from an ancient painting.

“Isn’t my sister just too beautiful?”

Between bites, Xiao Yu stole glances at Mu Qingwu, a dreamy smile on his face.

No—it wasn’t merely about beauty.

She was the kind of gentle woman who made a man think of the sweet, first love next door—a familiar trope from a past life that flickered through Xiao Yu’s mind.

“After all these years of marriage, you still can’t get enough, huh?”

Rolling her eyes at him, Mu Qingwu chided, “Just eat your meal.”

“I just thought of something fun,”

Mumbling amidst his bites, Xiao Yu grinned, “What if we hadn’t married so early, and I started as just your boyfriend? Tell me, what perks does being your boyfriend have?”

“Are there perks for being a boyfriend?”

With a playful curl of her rosy lips, as tempting as a cherry, Mu Qingwu replied, “Being my boyfriend means you can add beautiful women to your lineup, play duo games in the middle of the night, and hang out with any girl you fancy. And if you get tired, just call on me!”

“Really? That good?”

Xiao Yu’s face lit up with surprise. “But when you’re tired, why call your sister? Are we gaming or what?”

“Ha!”

Mu Qingwu laughed flirtatiously and shot him a teasing look, “Being my boyfriend would let you enjoy those boy-toy privileges you’ve always missed, even if it’s a bit late.”

“Ha!”

Mu Qingwu grinned, then added in a mischievous tone, “Besides, if you ever get worn out, just holler and I’ll be there.”

“No way, that’s amazing!”

Xiao Yu beamed with delight, “But seriously, when you’re exhausted, why would you call your sister? For a game or something?”

“Heh!”

Mu Qingwu’s alluring smile transformed into a regally cool smirk as she pinched his cheek, “Of course you call me to tuck you in!”

Xiao Yu: …

That was too rash!

“Next time, don’t overthink it.”

Imitating their mother, Mu Qingwu grabbed his ear, “I’ll beat you to death!”

“Okay, okay, I’m sorry, I won’t overdo it,” Xiao Yu quickly pleaded.

“Eat your food,” Mu Qingwu said, releasing him with a hint of reproach.

Without wasting another moment on the meal his sister had brought, Xiao Yu sprang up and tugged on Mu Qingwu’s hand. “Let’s go—find a place to kiss!”

Mu Qingwu: …

She could hardly bear to face her shameless brother now.

“Is my sister blushing?” Xiao Yu grinned mischievously.

“Keep it down outside,”

Mu Qingwu laughed, half angry, half embarrassed, and a little helplessly resigned.

“What’s wrong? We’re husband and wife, after all.”

Xiao Yu teased, “If you miss me, you should say so; if you want a kiss, just ask. Otherwise, what’s the point?”

“You scoundrel!”

Standing up, Mu Qingwu sighed, “You just love to take advantage of me.”

“That’s right,”

Xiao Yu grinned broadly, “And I’ll keep teasing you for a lifetime.”

“Aren’t you afraid you’ll wear me out?”

A playful glimmer danced in Mu Qingwu’s eyes.

“Afraid of what?”

Xiao Yu beamed confidently, locking eyes with her, “As long as your heart keeps beating, you’ll never get rid of me!”

“I have no idea who taught you that,”

Mu Qingwu replied sweetly, “I’ve got to get to work.”

“Wait a minute, I need to talk to my baby.”

On one knee before his sister, Xiao Yu pressed his ear against Mu Qingwu’s small belly, grinning foolishly as he murmured, “Baby, be good. When Dad’s not around, listen to Mom. Don’t you dare boss her around, got it?!”

“Ha…”

Mu Qingwu burst into laughter, glancing at her suddenly childlike brother with eyes as gentle as a stream as she softly ruffled his short hair, “Baby’s nothing like you—never will boss Mom around.”

“Not so fast,”

Xiao Yu looked up at his sister, “What if it’s a boy? He might even be worse than me.”

Mu Qingwu laughed, “So you finally admit you’re a bad boy?”

“What’s that supposed to mean?”

Xiao Yu replied nonchalantly, “If the little brother isn’t naughty, then the big sister won’t love him.”

“Bad little brother,” Mu Qingwu teased affectionately.

“What?” Xiao Yu stood up.

“I just want to kiss you.”

Mu Qingwu wrapped her arms around her mischievous brother’s waist.

“Got it!”

Xiao Yu lowered his head and kissed his sister’s lips.

A summer breeze caressed their cheeks,

whispering visions of blooming splendor and endless flowers.

Was it the wind stirring?

No—it was their hearts in motion!
