Chapter 15: Twenty-Two Years of Skill
The villa’s door quietly opened, and a woman sneaked in.
Xiao Yu and Mu Qingwu held back their laughter, pretending not to notice, feeling quite uncomfortable.
However…
The woman didn’t disturb them; instead, she sneaked around to a spot not far behind them and hid.
Xiao Yu and Mu Qingwu were at a loss between laughing and crying.
Should we notice her or not?
It was clear.
The woman wanted to see their intimate interactions.
Now they regretted it.
When the woman came in just now, they should have pretended to notice.
What do we do now?
Mu Qingwu looked helpless, raising her face, her red lips lightly imprinting on Xiao Yu’s cheek.
Xiao Yu, equally helpless, lowered his head, kissed Mu Qingwu’s fair forehead, and buried his face in her flowing hair.
That’s intimate enough, right?
The two silently pleaded: Please, show yourself already!
However…
The woman was quite mischievous, staying hidden and watching them intently.
Is this really okay?
Xiao Yu and Mu Qingwu were about to cry.
Thankfully, both were clever.
“I’m hungry.”
Suddenly, Xiao Yu spoke softly, “Big sis, make me some food.”
“I… don’t know how.”
Mu Qingwu shot a glance at Xiao Yu.
She truly didn’t know how. As a child, her mother cooked everything for her.
Before graduating college, she took over her father’s company, leaving no time to learn cooking.
“I can cook, I’ll teach you.”
Xiao Yu smiled, helping Mu Qingwu stand.
Hand in hand, they pretended not to notice the hidden woman and walked towards the kitchen.
The kitchen was semi-open, initially a place they could hide.
But… the woman sneakily moved to the other side of the villa’s hall, continuing to spy.
They were about to go crazy!
“What do we do now?”
Mu Qingwu whispered, on the verge of tears.
“How should I know?”
Xiao Yu was also at his wit’s end, whispering, “It’s almost noon, Auntie must be hungry too. Forget it, I’ll teach you to cook.”
Teaching wasn’t entirely true; it was more of Mu Qingwu fumbling around while Xiao Yu chopped and cooked.
During the process, he did teach.
To appear more intimate, Xiao Yu hugged Mu Qingwu from behind, holding her slender hands.
Teaching her to chop, to slice, to make scallion pancakes.
Gradually, they started having fun.
Xiao Yu mischievously smeared dough on Mu Qingwu’s face.
Mu Qingwu squealed, grabbing dough and slapping it on Xiao Yu.
The scene was like a playful couple in love, filled with joy.
Finally, Xiao Yu hugged Mu Qingwu.
Mu Qingwu bit Xiao Yu’s neck.
The scene froze, both lost in the moment…
“Cough, cough, cough!”
A series of fake coughs came from outside the kitchen.
Xiao Yu and Mu Qingwu separated like they were shocked, their expressions unnatural.
For a moment, they were indeed having fun.
They had forgotten about the hidden woman, can you believe it?!
“Mom, why didn’t you tell us you were coming?”
Mu Qingwu feigned surprise, looking at the woman standing in the hall.
Xiao Yu also observed the woman.
She was about 165 cm tall, neither fat nor thin.
Though middle-aged, she was still beautiful and charming.
Of course, without her looks, she wouldn’t have given birth to a nationally beautiful ice queen like Mu Qingwu.
“Hmph.”
Zhou Xuelan ignored her daughter, her eyes fixed on Xiao Yu, smiling broadly.
She looked at him like a mother-in-law admiring her son-in-law, very satisfied.
No wonder, Xiao Yu was indeed good-looking.
After some intentional grooming, calling him handsome wasn’t an exaggeration…
“Auntie, hello, I’m Xiao Yu. Nice to meet you.”
Xiao Yu approached her generously, flashing a sunny smile, “I’ve heard Big Sis Qingwu say Auntie is beautiful. I didn’t expect Auntie to be so good-looking. Standing together with Qingwu, you look like sisters.”
Can my twenty-two years of flattering my own mom be resisted?
“Haha, good child, you’re so sweet!”
Zhou Xuelan was immediately charmed, her face beaming, taking Xiao Yu’s hand and leading him to the sofa, asking, “Come, tell Auntie how you met Qingwu…”
Mu Qingwu rolled her beautiful eyes.
She felt like she had become invisible, strangely a bit jealous, glaring at Xiao Yu’s back, she followed.
Xiao Yu had a sweet mouth.
This came from years of flattering his own mom.
And he learned it from his dad too.
No choice, their family status was clear.
His mom had a bit of a temper; without flattering, getting beaten was easy.
As rehearsed with Mu Qingwu.
Under Zhou Xuelan’s detailed questioning like checking a household register.
Xiao Yu answered smoothly, saying whatever was asked.
Except for her slight dissatisfaction with him being a police officer, Zhou Xuelan was pleased with everything else.
Especially after tasting Xiao Yu’s cooking at lunch, even the police occupation was overlooked.
After lunch, Zhou Xuelan’s gaze at Xiao Yu was filled with motherly affection.
As for Mu Qingwu, she had rolled her eyes countless times.
Initially worried about being exposed, she didn’t expect her mom to be so satisfied with Xiao Yu.
That affection made her somewhat jealous.
As if Xiao Yu was the real child and she was adopted.
After chatting for a while, Xiao Yu took his leave.
With the mother and daughter seeing him off, Xiao Yu left the villa and took a cab back to the Criminal Investigation Team.
The system’s task time had already passed one day, leaving less than two days.
Whether for the post-task skill or to prevent the ability from being revoked by the system.
The case must be solved!
