Chapter 721: She Found the Youth Again

Book Chapter 721: She Found That Youth Again (Update 4)

The first light of dawn peeled back the veil of night, unleashing brilliant morning rays.

Sunlight filtered gently through the haze, softening everything in its path. Lin

Xiao Yu, his eyes newly opened, heard the steady, deep breaths nearby and felt the silky, supple body cradled in his arms.

With immense determination, he forced himself away from that tempting warmth and sat up.

He pressed a gentle kiss on Mu Qingwu’s picture-perfect face before getting up to freshen up.

He changed the obedient girl’s diaper and prepped a bottle.

After feeding her, he went to check if their deep-sleeping son had wet the bed.

Finally, he headed to the kitchen to start breakfast.

At moments like these, a pair of tender arms always wrapped around him from behind.

A smile spread on Xiao Yu’s handsome face, his star-like eyes gleaming with hidden tenderness.

“What would you like to eat?”

“I want to be held by you!”

Barely awake, Mu Qingwu responded in a languid, sultry tone that hinted at mischief.

Her light sleepwear clung to a body softer and more delicate than any maiden’s.

She clutched her child like a koala, not wanting to get up.

“Then just keep holding me,” Xiao Yu said with a smile as he continued making breakfast.

Mu Qingwu simply held onto Xiao Yu, silently offering her companionship.

“Little brother…”

Mu Qingwu spoke softly.

“What is it?” Xiao Yu asked while pouring the washed rice into the pot.

“I’ve got a question for you,” Mu Qingwu teased.

Xiao Yu: ……

He nearly dropped the rice paddle into the pot.

A chill crept over him, sending shivers down his spine.

It hit him at last.

Whether she was a goddess, a queen, or a sassy lady,

women, after all, are women.

And women love posing life-or-death questions to men.

Without exception!

“Do you say… no, I’m already married. Oops, I’m married.”

Mu Qingwu laughed, “Is there any difference between those answers?”

The difference is if I answer poorly, I’d better have an urn ready… Xiao Yu burst into tears, “Can’t I just not answer?”

“Are you feeling guilty?”

The charming, sassy lady grinned broadly, her eyes sparkling like liquid stars.

“…”

Xiao Yu forced a wry smile, “No, I’m married… and I mean it, without any softening!”

“Oh?”

Mu Qingwu’s laughter faded. “Why is that?”

“Because…”

Xiao Yu’s eyes darted as he explained, “If someone can ask a question like that, she’s usually interested. Saying ‘I’m married’ politely would be too weak. At moments like this, there’s no room for courtesy—I must leave her no chance!”

“Ha ha!”

Mu Qingwu burst out laughing, “Is that your survival instinct kicking in?”

“Yeah, indeed.”

Xiao Yu quietly wiped the cold sweat from his brow.

Sometimes, you find that the real drag isn’t your legs—it’s your brain.

He wondered, whether in a past life or this one, is society always so cold?

“Wrong answer!” Mu Qingwu suddenly sneered.

Xiao Yu, sensing the feel of a palace intrigue, broke into a cold sweat as he asked, “Wrong?”

“Yes, I misspoke.”

Mu Qingwu let go of him, stepped forward, wrapped her arms around her brother’s waist, and with a flawless smile asked, “Is that acceptable?”

“…”

Xiao Yu laughed and kissed the slightly infatuated sassy lady in his arms, “Sure, my dear sister!”

Mu Qingwu nestled affectionately against him.

In the end, whether the question was right or wrong didn’t matter.

She just wanted to be his little friend!

……

At the doorstep.

Mu Qingwu was tidying up Xiao Yu’s white shirt.

A Police Superintendent uniform!

Looking at the three-tier police shoulder badges on her brother’s shoulder, she couldn’t help but smile.

Even though he was already a first-level Police Superintendent, he still owned two sets of National Security uniforms.

Yet Xiao Yu preferred this police outfit.

Oh, silly little brother!

“Sis, did you know?”

Xiao Yu, proudly admiring his white shirt, said, “I once dreamt of wearing a white-shirted police uniform. Even then, I thought nothing could replace a white shirt!”

He had indeed dreamt that in a past life, waking up laughing from it.

Now, life felt like a return to that old dream.

“Really?”

Mu Qingwu pinched her stinky little brother’s cheek, “Is it any different?”

“The meaning is different.”

Xiao Yu shook his head with a smile, “National Security, in its strictest sense, defends the nation, willing to do anything for it. The police, in a true sense, are heroes who protect the people and uphold justice. One guards the country; the other safeguards its people.”

“I’m a woman—I don’t care to understand these things.”

Mu Qingwu’s delicate face softened into a gentle smile, her eyes curving like crescents, “I only know you are the hero for me and our child, and that’s enough!”

People may lie, but details never do…

Those who love you, love you fiercely.

Not responding is your mistake…

She reached out and pulled him into a tight embrace. Xiao Yu held her close.

Even if his uniform became wrinkled, it didn’t matter.

How can someone who doesn’t love his own woman truly love his country?

Do you believe that?

“Let’s go.”

Mu Qingwu patted Xiao Yu’s back gently, “Wear your police uniform. Then you won’t just be the hero for me and our child—you’ll be a hero for many. I’ll take care of the child and wait at home for your safe return!”

Xiao Yu released her and nodded.

He raised his hand in salute.

Mu Qingwu returned a perfect military salute.

“Tired already?”

Before long, Bai Ting from Special Forces appeared next to Mu Qingwu.

The two women watched as Xiao Yu climbed into the Red Flag Car.

They observed the car gradually disappear into the distance.

“Not at all,” he replied.

The early sun bathed Mu Qingwu’s face in a glow, making her look like the purest, most tender jade. “Since he possesses the power to shake the heavens, I always knew an ethereal throne awaited him. And if he shines so brilliantly, why not let me hide and sparkle like stardust after the dawn?”

“Thank you.”

Bai Ting sighed, “Big Boss asked me to tell you this, and also…”

She raised her hand and saluted Mu Qingwu.

“Got it,” Mu Qingwu replied calmly.

Why did Big Boss have to say thank you?

Why does Mu Qingwu accept it so nonchalantly?

Because.

The last time Xiao Yu went to Kimchi Land,

he killed four councilors,

and wiped out an entire chaebol family.

On one hand, it was his decision,

and on the other… Xiao Yu wanted to leave National Security!

He longed to stay in Bincheng from now on.

To guard Mu Qingwu and the child, to take care of his loved ones, to be just a small police officer.

Even if Wang Dong and Zhou Lie were to show up,

or even if Big Boss himself came to plead with him, it would all be futile.

Mu Qingwu was willing to share her man, offering half of him to the nation.

She could bear Big Boss’s thank you.

She had found that youth again!
