Chapter 662: When Romance and Duty Collide

Chapter 662: Even the Cherry Blossoms Next Door Are Jealous (5 Updates)

Late afternoon. Outside the villa’s entrance. Lin.

“Yan Yu Jie is my goddess now,”

Wang Cheng, his eyes dancing with excitement, glanced at his girlfriend chatting with his master’s wife. “For some reason, I feel so motivated about life!”

Heh… Xiao Yu wasn’t about to rain on his disciple’s parade.

After all, being with a goddess—especially an intelligent one—

could make you experience firsthand the cruelty of life.

Needless to say, Mu Qingwu’s IQ was off the charts.

What kind of intellect does a woman who can hang with a domineering queen have, you think?

Xiao Yu silently wished his disciple strength in his heart.

“Master, how can a man and a woman stay together for long?”

Perhaps it was because Zhou Yanyu was so outstanding, Wang Cheng couldn’t help but be insecure.

“May we live long and share the beauty of the moon, got it?”

Xiao Yu rolled his eyes at his unlucky apprentice, “Only then can you share the moonlight.”

Wang Cheng: ???

He exuded an aura reminiscent of someone who’d just stormed into town with reckless bravado.

“From now on, you won’t understand watches anymore.”

Xiao Yu sighed, feeling like he had wandered onto the wrong set.

It was like watching Naruto from a fiery fighting series end up at a gourmet festival.

A fiery martial arts show inexplicably turned into a food show.

If he ended up on the highway from now on,

he’d worry that his disciple’s wobbly stroller might get wrecked!

……

Watching the young couple walk away hand in hand, Xiao Yu and Mu Qingwu smiled at each other.

After all, they did play matchmakers in their own way.

Happy people always want others to share in their joy.

“Heading to Capital City tomorrow?”

Mu Qingwu snuggled into her brother’s arms. “A case?”

That evening, Big Boss from National Security personally called his brother.

“No.”

Xiao Yu wrapped his arm around his sister’s slender waist, “We made a big achievement.”

It truly was a monumental success.

But Xiao Yu had reached a point where there was nowhere left to go in terms of awards or promotions.

Now, all the First-Class Merits he’d earned were merely cumulative.

The reason Big Boss invited him to Capital City was probably more than just awarding honors.

He had reached the highest rank possible.

Could it be an upgrade?

One more promotion and he’d be a Police Superintendent!

Under these circumstances, Big Boss didn’t hold the power to decide.

Even his last promotion was approved by the top brass.

It was an unprecedented exception…

“Let the elders take care of the child tomorrow.”

Seeing Mu Qingwu stay silent, Xiao Yu lowered his head and kissed his little sister on the cheek, “Let’s head to Capital City together.”

After years as a couple, they had long since understood each other perfectly.

Now that Mu Qingwu was pregnant again, she became even more clingy.

Given Xiao Yu’s status at National Security,

taking his sister around the National Security building was untouchable.

The future boss’s wife on an ‘inspection’ tour,

exaggeratingly, would be welcomed in formation.

Mu Qingwu’s eyes crinkled and her lips curved into a smile; the little sister was delighted.

She now loved playing the role of a delicate woman.

Of course, only Xiao Yu could see that!

……

Early morning.

The elders arrived early at the couple’s home, fussing over the baby like it was their own flesh and blood.

Xiao Yu and Mu Qingwu stepped out.

They didn’t make a big show of it and flew on a commercial flight like ordinary people.

As Xiao Yu’s identity gradually shifted, Mu Qingwu became increasingly low-key.

Their private jet and luxury car had long been sold off; they now traveled in a company car.

In her words: they couldn’t embarrass her brother!

Xiao Yu often thought that

meeting Mu Qingwu was beyond luck.

If fate ever showed itself to him,

he’d kneel in gratitude!

On the plane.

“How about this briefcase?”

Mu Qingwu leaned on Xiao Yu’s shoulder, scrolling through various styles on her phone.

“Over thirty thousand is too expensive. It’s not fitting,”

Xiao Yu laughed, “That five-hundred one just now was just right.”

“That one isn’t so great,”

Mu Qingwu shook her head, “I just don’t like it.”

As they murmured to each other, a well-heeled couple nearby sneered disapprovingly.

From the moment they boarded the plane,

the man of the couple kept stealing glances at Mu Qingwu.

The woman occasionally eyed Xiao Yu as well.

Then the man suddenly said, “Madam, that watch on your wrist is quite nice.”

“Hmm?” Mu Qingwu frowned.

Xiao Yu shot the man a cool glance.

“It was your boyfriend’s gift, wasn’t it?”

The man grinned as he looked back at Xiao Yu.

“Boyfriend?”

Xiao Yu and Mu Qingwu exchanged a smile.

After all, they were essentially a long-married couple with a nearly one-year-old child.

In good spirits, Mu Qingwu nodded, “Yes, my boyfriend gave it to me on Valentine’s Day.”

“Heh, heh!”

The woman also chimed in with a forced laugh, “Your boyfriend sure is generous—as opposed to us.”

“And besides,”

the man continued, “dating just to spend money doesn’t work; over time you’ll spoil each other.”

“That’s so true,”

the woman added, embellishing further, “Us women are too materialistic. A bag over thirty thousand demands a boyfriend who can actually afford it.”

After saying that, she deliberately raised her hand to show off her watch, gemstone ring, and jade bracelet.

Xiao Yu and Mu Qingwu exchanged half-smiles as they glanced at the couple, holding back laughter.

They tried not to burst out laughing.

Who would have thought they’d encounter such a melodramatic scene on a flight?

Rich folks showing off in front of the super-rich?

Good heavens, I’m laughing so hard I might wet myself!

Sitting in the front row was Bai Ting, a veteran of National Security’s Special Forces.

Her expression was as cold as an iceberg, her lips twitching uncontrollably.

She thought: where did these clowns come from? Must be off their rocker.

Also, four plainclothes Special Forces agents from Unit 617 were watching the couple from various angles.

All it took was one glance from the ‘boss’s wife’ to remind them what true cruelty was!

Xiao Yu knew it was his time to step in.

Grinning, he said to Mu Qingwu, “Sis, did you hear that? Don’t ever buy me such expensive stuff again. People will say I’m too materialistic, and I’ll get spoiled!”

The couple: ???

Where’s that materialistic woman gone?

“Besides,”

Xiao Yu laughed, “The more expensive doesn’t always mean better—I still like that five-hundred one.”

“Mm.”

Mu Qingwu nodded, her eyes sparkling with moist delight, “Got it.”

They paid no mind to the embarrassed couple, whose faces had turned red.

It was like…

going to take a dump.

A dump that defies definition.

Taking a dump in a crowded place.

Dumping heart-shaped dung, cantaloupe-flavored dung—dung that was uniquely yours.

Even the cherry blossoms next door were crying with envy!

Who would bother glancing twice at dung?

Xiao Yu and Mu Qingwu were far too sane for that.

“Sis,”

Xiao Yu asked with a smile, “What would you do if I really turned into a materialistic guy?”

“Materialistic guy?”

Mu Qingwu, snuggling affectionately into Xiao Yu’s arms, blinked her beautiful eyes and said, “You like that? It scares me!”

Xiao Yu: ……

Look, just look! The domineering boss is about to come after you!
