Chapter 643: The Bride’s Little Spoiled Child

Book – Chapter 643: The Bride’s Little Spoiled Child (Update 1)

A sunny morning at the Hospital. Lin.

Xiao Yu cradled his son while eyeing Mu Qingwu, who was in line for registration.

It seemed as if his older sister possessed a dangerously alluring charm, almost as if she were a temptress luring people to ruin.

Her delicate, willow-leaf brows and sparkling, clear eyes carried an unintentional, sultry allure—as if she were discharging sparks.

Every inch of her, sculpted like warm jade, defied time with an almost magical reverse aging.

That supremely graceful and cool demeanor perfectly captured the essence of a goddess.

Her inner charm grew and with it, an irresistible allure…

But Xiao Yu knew that some things had to be handled discreetly.

Otherwise, things could get downright awkward.

For instance.

The little brother beside him, holding a child, openly ogled Mu Qingwu as if drooling.

“This beauty really has a world-shattering allure, doesn’t she?” Xiao Yu joked.

“Mm, mm…”

The little brother nodded excitedly, exclaiming, “She’s stunning! Compared to her, those female celebrities are nothing—look, she even glanced our way, then at me…”

At the registration counter, Mu Qingwu noticed she had forgotten her phone and couldn’t pay.

Her phone was in her bag, which Xiao Yu was carrying, so she quietly said to her brother, “Honey, come over here for a moment.”

At home or with close friends, she’d call Xiao Yu ‘Brother’, but outside she always said ‘Honey’.

Yet that single word, “Honey,” completely threw the little brother off.

“Let’s admire the beauty together. But why on earth does she call you ‘Honey’… wait a minute…”

Damn, you’re actually her husband, playing innocent on the side?

What kind of move is that?

“Haha.”

Xiao Yu burst into laughter, “My wife just called me. We’ll meet again if fate allows.”

The little brother: …

It cut deep, not just in hurt but in insult.

It felt like it would take a lifetime to recover from those few seconds.

He nearly wanted to shout, “You coward!”

Meaning, if he wasn’t unarmed, he’d show him a proper lesson…

Xiao Yu cheerfully made his way toward Mu Qingwu.

Having such joy close by was simply wonderful…

After a full morning of having the child examined at the Hospital.

By noon, they had returned home.

Their parents and mother-in-law had already prepared a meal.

The six-member family happily enjoyed a warm, delightful time together.

Happiness can be understood in countless ways, each personal in its own right.

But the joy of being with family is the truest form of contentment.

Only in their presence can one feel the pure warmth of the world.

That evening, after seeing off the elders, the couple returned to their Bedroom with their soundly sleeping baby.

After freshening up, Xiao Yu transformed into a koala, holding onto Mu Qingwu tightly without letting go.

“What are you doing?”

Mu Qingwu looked at her mischievous husband with a playful smile.

“Time to sleep,” Xiao Yu chuckled.

“…”

Mu Qingwu pinched Xiao Yu’s cheek, “I’m not sleepy.”

“Staying up all night is a girl’s worst enemy.”

Xiao Yu said that with utmost seriousness.

“It’s only nine o’clock,” Mu Qingwu replied, half-amused, half-exasperated.

“But nine is practically late.”

With a mischievous grin, Xiao Yu added, “I read somewhere that if she isn’t tired, I should tussle with her until she finally gives in. And if that doesn’t work, I’ll just have to keep at it until she dozes off.”

Mu Qingwu rolled her eyes flirtatiously.

She realized she’d really been spoiled by him.

Before knowing Xiao Yu, she wouldn’t have understood such banter.

But now, it all made perfect sense.

“You’re starting to look like a lecherous old man. Haven’t you noticed you’ve gotten lazier?”

Mu Qingwu teased, pinching his face, “Take three days off, Inspector Ying.”

“Lazy, am I?”

Xiao Yu nestled comfortably into her arms, “I reflect on my actions three times a day.”

“Did I work harder today than yesterday…? No!”

“Did I make more progress than yesterday…? No.”

“Was I better than yesterday…? No.”

“I do reflect on myself over and over.”

“But I did eat more today than yesterday… Yes, yes, yes.”

“And I was happier today than yesterday… Yes, yes, yes.”

“And I loved you more today than yesterday… Absolutely, absolutely, absolutely.”

Proudly, Xiao Yu snuggled closer in Mu Qingwu’s arms, “Looks like I’m pretty great after all!”

“Haha…” Mu Qingwu giggled sweetly.

Holding her playful husband, she bowed her head and kissed him.

She recalled a joke Xiao Yu had once told her.

When they got married, she was the bride.

Xiao Yu had said that a bride’s duty was to care for her old lady by looking after their son.

Over time, the bride gradually becomes the old lady, tending to her little darling.

Back then, Mu Qingwu had only seen it as a joke.

But then…

Xiao Yu, with his high status and decisive actions, seemed capable of anything.

Yet, in her eyes, he would always remain a child.

Embracing him tightly, Mu Qingwu’s flawless, jade-like face radiated endless tenderness.

In truth, it was simply wonderful.

Right, my little darling!

…

After a three-day break,

A refreshed Xiao Yu walked into the Criminal Investigation Team.

A three-year cold case had finally been cracked, and he undoubtedly deserved some credit.

Xiao Yu didn’t chase personal glory; he notified the Provincial Department and shared the credit as a collective achievement.

For him, second- or third-class honors no longer carried any meaning.

And that time when the Anxiety Formula was supposed to earn him major accolades ended up…

Well, that was all his own doing, dragging two Big Bosses into the fray.

Being alive and kicking was already a blessing.

Before he knew it, another month had passed.

During that time, the Criminal Investigation Team had no cases.

It almost seemed as though National Security had forgotten about him.

Xiao Yu found himself enjoying a laid-back routine, living much like an ordinary office worker.

Days spent idly at the Criminal Investigation Team and evenings at home with his sister and baby.

Their ten-month-old baby had even started to call out ‘Dad’ and ‘Mom’ consciously.

It was both astonishing and delightful.

This newfound awareness meant that the baby was developing rapidly and proved just how smart he was.

Who wouldn’t want a bright child?

With both parents being so remarkable, having a dull child would be unthinkable.

Yet, Xiao Yu never imagined that the inevitable would eventually arrive.

The day he donned the police uniform and the National Security garb.

Xiao Yu was always ready for that moment.

“Time to head to Beijing, the Big Boss wants to see you.”

At the doorway, Wang Dong smiled warmly at the young couple.

Xiao Yu said nothing, merely glancing at Mu Qingwu.

“Come back early.”

Mu Qingwu returned his look with a tender smile, ignoring the onlookers as she embraced Xiao Yu, “When you return, Mu Mu should be walking by then.”

Xiao Yu lowered his head and kissed Mu Qingwu’s forehead.

Yes, their baby was starting to take those first wobbly steps.

He eagerly anticipated the sight of his son toddling on his little legs.

“I’ll be back soon!”
