Chapter 526: So It Turns Out, I Was the Prey (Update 4)

I teased Mu Qingwu a bit.

While being pinned and hammered to the ground, Xiao Yu had an epiphany.

Girls really do love to lie!

Mu Qingwu used to love working out.

But after having a child, she never worked out again.

Back then, she even complained about her figure.

At 1.7 meters tall and only 100 jin, her curves rivaled even that of a seductive vixen—how can she say her figure was bad?

Xiao Yu found girls fascinating, but hey, they are girls after all.

Then he took Mu Qingwu out for a night run.

After a lap around the community area, Mu Qingwu complained she couldn’t keep up.

Xiao Yu still thought his big sister was too delicate and completely out of shape.

But now…

Good grief, after chasing us for over ten minutes, she still had enough energy to fight.

With energy like that, where’s the trust between people?

Just look at Mu Qingwu, fiercely pummeling her husband.

“507”

Not at all like a weak woman who couldn’t even twist open a bottle cap.

Damn it!

……

At the bedroom door.

“What are you doing?”

A still-angry Mu Qingwu glared coldly at Xiao Yu, “I already said—you’re sleeping alone tonight.”

“Sis, I’m just going in for a drink of water.”

Xiao Yu wore a solemn, serious expression.

“No water outside?”

Mu Qingwu narrowed her beautiful eyes.

“No water out there is as sweet as Sister’s water.”

Xiao Yu insisted, “I’m just going in to drink some water, nothing else.”

“Anything else?”

Mu Qingwu, not falling for it, replied, “No, I’m closing the door.”

“Sis, should we do this?”

Xiao Yu nearly broke down, “I’m just going in to drink water—do you think I’m up to mischief?”

Mu Qingwu snorted, “Hehe!”

“I promise you that.”

Xiao Yu raised his hand in a playful gesture, “If I ever laid a finger on you, I’d be nothing but a dog!”

“……”

Mu Qingwu fell silent, giving Xiao Yu a deep look before opening the bedroom door.

“Hehe!”

As he stepped into the bedroom, Xiao Yu grinned mischievously, “I’m a dog, woof woof… uh!”

But when he turned around, he found Mu Qingwu smiling sweetly at him.

Her gaze was sultry and intense, as if she were about to devour him.

Just like a lioness stalking a young antelope on the African savanna.

Holy shit… Xiao Yu’s scalp went numb.

“Thirsty, huh?”

Mu Qingwu walked over to the water dispenser, picked up a cup of preheated water with goji berries, and handed it to Xiao Yu, “Da Lang, it’s time for your medicine!”

Damn… Xiao Yu was about to lose it.

He felt an overwhelming urge to run away.

It turns out, I was the prey all along!

……

Night, a cozy room, and an even cozier bed.

In his blissful ‘sage time,’ Xiao Yu leaned contentedly against the headboard, a satisfied smirk on his face.

Mu Qingwu rested her head on his shoulder, watching her silly, mischievous brother with a smile.

After getting married, she learned many of a man’s secrets.

Men have a higher body temperature than women—a little hot water heater in winter.

Skip shaving for three days, and a man turns into a wild beast.

He might look refined outside but at home, he’s in his briefs and tank top.

Talking to him while gaming is like speaking to thin air…

Yet, this very man can offer a woman a sense of security like no other.

Where once restless, sleepless nights plagued her, now she could easily drift off in his arms…

“What are you grinning about?”

Xiao Yu looked at his lazy, smiling sister in his arms.

“When I tease you, sis.”

Mu Qingwu teased, “Are you proud?”

“Proud?”

Xiao Yu chuckled, “I may be young, but I’ve already earned 100,000, even though I still need another 90,000—ever seen me boast?”

“Haha… so that makes me a pervert?”

Mu Qingwu burst out laughing, “I’m really curious—besides loving to hear women call you ‘daddy,’ what else can’t men handle when a woman calls you something?”

“Sis, you’re overthinking it.”

Xiao Yu stated seriously, “Remove the last four words of that sentence, and no man could withstand it!”

Mu Qingwu: ……

Should I say, as expected of you?

That saucy remark is unrivaled!

“Tell me a story.”

Mu Qingwu’s mischievous side was itching to take over.

Xiao Yu: ……

To be honest, he really couldn’t tell a story to save his life.

What to do?

Xiao Yu recalled a case, “There’s this hilarious story… just a minor incident.”

“A resident reported that after moving in, he discovered no one in his community had installed burglar bars.”

“So, for safety’s sake, he installed one…”

“But then, his home was burglarized. After the theft, the thief left a note saying: ‘No one installs bars except you, so how can people trust each other?'”

“So, the next day, the resident had the bars removed.”

“Soon, after hearing about his break-in, every resident in the community installed burglar bars.”

“And then… that same resident was burglarized again!”

“The thief left another note saying: ‘Everyone installs bars except you—is that how you look down on me?'”

“Remember that day… the resident came reporting the theft in tears, completely distraught.”

“After we caught the thief, we curiously asked, ‘Why were you so cheeky?'”

“Guess what the thief said…”

Xiao Yu, watching Mu Qingwu nearly burst into laughter, said, “The thief claimed that the first note was intentional—to see if the resident was stupid enough to remove his bars. When the resident’s foolishness left him speechless, he decided not to steal again. It just wouldn’t be worth it!”

“Hahaha…”

Mu Qingwu burst into laughter, hugging Xiao Yu tightly, nearly laughing herself into oblivion.

After the laughter subsided, only Xiao Yu’s elder sister looked sleepy, letting out a yawn.

“Sing me a song.”

Wrapping her arms around her little brother’s waist, Mu Qingwu looked adorably coy.

Oh my, the domineering boss is being charming again… Xiao Yu drifted off as he softly hummed.

In a vibrant world, I see everything clearly through my own mist, while their hearts stay in black and white.

Defining for oneself when to draw near and when to let go.

usoundlike ababababa…

Mu Qingwu closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.

Xiao Yu softly hummed a tune, his face gentle and eyes filled with affection.

He gently patted his sister’s back as if soothing a child…

……

That day.

We walked out of the matchmaking venue.

Do you remember that refreshing breeze?

It seemed to have crossed countless mountains.

And reached us even now.

Sis, you’re still at the prime of your life.

It’s the best reward heaven can give a brave girl.

People are greedy; desire knows no bounds.

Just like when all I wanted was to know your name at first.

Now, I want to claim you for a lifetime!
