Chapter 593: Chapter 593: You’re Really Not Human

Book Chapter 593: You’re Really Not Human (Update 1)

Outside a business building. Lin

“Mu Mu, Mom hasn’t been to work in ages. Today you and Dad took her to work, and she’s so happy.”

“Yip ya ya, Mama, Mama…”

“My little Mu Mu can now call me ‘Mama.’ Isn’t that wonderful?”

“Yiya…”

Xiao Yu, cradling the baby, watched as Mu Qingwu, dressed in professional attire, playfully entertained her son.

He remembered when they first met—she was like a celestial fairy, cool, breathtaking, and untouched by the mundane.

Now…

Mu Qingwu was gently wiping the baby’s mouth with a wet wipe; her gentle aura could soften the harshest world.

Sure enough, I’m the best… Xiao Yu thought with a satisfied grin.

After all, how could a woman this stunning ever become my wife?

I’m clearly the MVP of the whole scene!

“What are you smiling like a fool for?”

Rolling her eyes at her silly little brother, Mu Qingwu said, “I’m off to work.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of Mu Mu.”

Xiao Yu took the baby’s little hand and, waving at Mu Qingwu, said, “Mu Mu, wave goodbye to Mama.”

“Yiya…” the baby babbled.

Smiling as she waved at the baby, Mu Qingwu glanced at Xiao Yu and turned toward the building.

But just after a few steps, her phone rang.

She checked her phone, flipped a coquettish eye-roll, and answered, “What’s up?”

“I’ll be at work soon. Don’t miss me too much, huh.”

Xiao Yu, phone in hand, looked toward Mu Qingwu in the distance and grinned broadly.

“Who would miss you?”

Mu Qingwu turned to face Xiao Yu, her eyes shimmering with tenderness and allure.

“Sis, give me a kiss,” Xiao Yu teased mischievously.

“No kiss.”

Feigning annoyance yet unable to hide a smile—a smile that could captivate a city—Mu Qingwu replied, “I’ll be home right after my meeting.”

He thought, what a teasing older sister… Xiao Yu chuckled happily.

Tonight, I’ll give that sister a lesson with a bat so she’ll learn some manners.

Maybe then Mu Qingwu will finally understand the difference between ‘M’ and ‘1’ for herself.

Xiao Yu felt this was exactly the kind of lesson someone her age deserved.

“No kiss means no kiss, mmh.”

Xiao Yu’s eyes darted around as he said, “Just remembered—today I planned something delicious, but since someone’s off to work, I’ll have to enjoy it with Mu Mu first.”

“No way.”

After only a few steps, Mu Qingwu turned back with a slight pout, “Wait for me—I’ll join the meal.”

“No waiting—I’m heading home right now to whip up something delicious.”

Xiao Yu burst into hearty laughter, “That stinky sis is such a glutton.”

“No, wait—let’s eat together after I finish work.”

Mu Qingwu pointed at her mischievous little brother, clearly irritated in a way that couldn’t be easily soothed.

“Then give me a kiss.”

Xiao Yu bargained, “Only if you can top my heart gesture!”

“You…”

Her enchanting eyes scanning the surroundings, Mu Qingwu sighed helplessly, “Fine then.”

“Hahaha!”

Xiao Yu, still holding the baby, laughed, “What could be cuter than a heart gesture?”

Mu Qingwu: …

Although many people were nearby,

still…

The domineering tycoon raised his arms high above his head,

making a heart gesture for his nephew and the baby.

Countless onlookers were stunned.

They had long recognized that it was Mu Qingwu.

Bai Ting, who had always been by her side, looked on in disbelief.

Could this really be the same Mu Qingwu who once stomped her foot and sent the business world into a frenzy?

“Wait for me at home. No sneak snacking.”

Lowering her arms, Mu Qingwu said into her phone, “Wait for me at home.”

“Okay.”

Gazing at his sister as she entered the business building, Xiao Yu’s eyes brimmed with tenderness.

Love rose and fell like the sun and breeze—arriving with the wind and returning with the twilight.

The warmth and chill of life are all too fleeting.

Thankfully, there are always endless years.

“No sneak snacking…” Xiao Yu said as he headed toward his Red Flag Car, holding the baby.

The domineering tycoon’s warnings always sent shivers down the spine.

Just a few steps later, he spotted a little simp.

Damn, isn’t that my apprentice… Xiao Yu stared dumbfounded toward the parking lot.

Wang Cheng stepped out of a Defender BJ80 SUV and eagerly ran over to open the passenger door.

Cool and aloof, Zhou Yanyu stepped out, took the handbag offered by Wang Cheng, and shot her boyfriend a disapproving look.

Wang Cheng, however, grinned foolishly as he looked at his girlfriend.

“Get up and kiss her…” Xiao Yu thought with a laugh.

Unfortunately, his unlucky apprentice seemed too timid—only managing a silly grin.

Zhou Yanyu, clearly exasperated with her foolish boyfriend, adjusted his clothes with a light touch and murmured something under her breath.

Wang Cheng nodded, his eyes crinkling into a smile.

Then his smile froze as he realized he was being watched.

And the one spying turned out to be… damn, the Master?

Seeing her boyfriend’s ghostly expression, Zhou Yanyu turned in confusion and noticed Xiao Yu’s oddly amused smile.

Instantly, the atmosphere grew awkward.

For some reason, the newly confirmed couple looked as if they were guilty thieves.

Their guilt was as palpable as when you accidentally catch your parents watching a steamy scene on TV.

At least, that’s what Xiao Yu thought.

But… didn’t the apprentice say yesterday that Zhou Yanyu was on her period?

Surely that wouldn’t shatter their distance… or rather, their gap!

Not wanting to disturb the awkward couple, Xiao Yu waved them off and, holding his son, got into his car.

After securing the baby in its car seat, he prepared to drive off.

Then Wang Cheng ran over and awkwardly said, “Master, what a coincidence.”

“Yeah, what a coincidence.”

Xiao Yu gave his apprentice a strange look and asked, “So, have you patched things up with your Yan Yu Jie?”

“Yeah.”

Wang Cheng grinned like a goof, looking incredibly happy.

“Anything else?” Xiao Yu asked, eyeing his hapless apprentice.

“Well…”

Wang Cheng scratched his head and then, to Xiao Yu’s astonishment, said, “Master, I want to get married!”

Xiao Yu: …

Dating without the intent of marriage is lowlife behavior.

But dating with the intention of marriage is what the upper class does.

Dating leading to marriage is indeed the proper way.

But you two have known each other for only a few days!

Xiao Yu reached out, pinched Wang Cheng’s forehead, and asked in confusion, “Not running a fever? Did you get your head caught in a door this morning?”

Wang Cheng: …

He said nothing.

“Spit it out already.”

Xiao Yu rolled his eyes, “Why are you suddenly thinking about marriage, you dork?”

“Well…”

Wang Cheng’s face turned red as he stammered, “Yan Yu Jie is mine now!”

Damn… Xiao Yu was stunned.

Wait, this isn’t adding up.

Wasn’t Zhou Yanyu supposed to be on her period?

And now she’s become my apprentice’s woman?

Xiao Yu looked at Wang Cheng as if he were a deity.

Heroes don’t ask about the path, and rogues don’t concern themselves with age.

My apprentice is incredible… you’re really something else!
