Chapter 8: Too Beautiful to Look At Directly
Putting down the case file, Xiao Yu took out his phone to check the time; it was 6:30.
During this period, the four trainee officers who came with him had already left.
Master Guo Qiang had also come to invite him for dinner.
Xiao Yu didn’t go.
He was racing against time.
The system only gave him three days to solve the case, which was very tight.
Xiao Yu had already felt how amazing the abilities granted by the system were.
So he was very eager for that ‘Falcon’s Eye’ system skill.
Although he didn’t know the difference between ‘ability’ and ‘skill,’ he wanted both.
If he couldn’t solve the case, not only would he lose the skill, but the ability would also be taken back by the system!
The system was rather merciless, too harsh… he thought to himself while continuing to analyze the case file.
But then his phone rang.
Taking it out, he saw the caller ID.
Mu Qingwu?
Xiao Yu was puzzled; why was she calling?
“Hello.”
Answering the phone, Xiao Yu asked, “Big sis, what’s up?”
“Busy?”
Mu Qingwu’s unique cold mature woman voice came through, “Let’s have dinner, I need to discuss something.”
Wanting to refuse, but his stomach was honest, Xiao Yu smiled, “Sure, where?”
“Where are you? I’ll pick you up.”
Mu Qingwu’s tone was somewhat imperious.
“Your domineering attitude isn’t very appealing.”
Xiao Yu pouted, “I prefer a little sister who cries after one punch or a big sis who goes ‘uwu’.”
“…”
Mu Qingwu was silent for a moment, “I’m used to speaking this way. I’ll try to change it in the future.”
This time, Xiao Yu was stunned.
He noticed a good trait in her; she could take feedback.
Unlike some girls in his previous life.
Apart from admitting they found the wrong man, they would never admit any faults.
Although Mu Qingwu hadn’t admitted any fault.
At least she said she would change, which was close enough…
“XX Road, Criminal Investigation Brigade,” Xiao Yu gave the address.
In less than twenty minutes, a supercar stopped outside the Criminal Investigation Team, right in front of Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu opened the car door and got in.
Mu Qingwu started the car.
“What’s up?” Xiao Yu asked.
They had just parted in the morning, and now she was urgently looking for him. Could it be…
“I told my mom that I have a boyfriend, and she said she wants to see him tomorrow.”
Mu Qingwu’s face remained calm, “I wanted to discuss with you about meeting my mom tomorrow.”
Xiao Yu: …
His scalp tingled, and his heart skipped two beats.
In his understanding, a mother-in-law seemed like a terrifying creature.
Yes, even though his status was fake for now.
Meeting the mother-in-law was still terrifying!
“Wait, your mom believed it just like that?”
Xiao Yu stared at Mu Qingwu, who was driving, “Isn’t that too hasty?”
“Ha.”
Mu Qingwu glanced at the passenger seat, seeing Xiao Yu’s shocked face, she couldn’t help but laugh, “My mom’s a bit eager, she’s desperate to have a grandson. She doesn’t care who I find. As long as it’s a guy, alive, it’s fine!”
“Wow.”
Xiao Yu was a bit angry, “You’re using me as a tool, right?”
“Don’t be mad.”
Mu Qingwu chuckled, “That’s why I’m inviting you to dinner, to make arrangements.”
Is she trying to bribe me… Xiao Yu wondered, “What arrangements?”
“Practice our lines and the interactions between couples…” Mu Qingwu trailed off.
Interactions between couples?
Xiao Yu laughed.
Intimacy, of course.
You say you have a boyfriend but keep a two-meter distance from him?
People aren’t blind, the intimacy of a couple must be there.
Otherwise, who would believe it?
As he laughed, Xiao Yu suddenly couldn’t laugh anymore.
In two lifetimes, apart from having a girlfriend in his previous life.
In this life, he hadn’t had anyone at all?
Uncontrollably, sadness welled up in his heart.
I’m actually what people call a single dog, like Cara?
There’s still hope, I’m only twenty-two, no rush!
Outside the hotpot restaurant, the supercar parked in a space.
“You like hotpot?”
Mu Qingwu frowned, “Isn’t it greasy?”
“Your subtext is asking…”
Xiao Yu smiled as he opened the car door, “Will it make you gain weight? Will it cause breakouts?”
Mu Qingwu: …
Looking at the big boy getting out of the car, he’s so smart!
Weight is indeed a girl’s enemy.
Even if a girl loves food.
The older she gets, the more she stays away from greasy food.
First, it makes you gain weight, second, it causes breakouts…
They entered the hotpot restaurant.
Their looks drew many glances.
The boy was handsome like a painting.
The girl was coldly beautiful, graceful like a fairy.
Their compatibility made people indescribably jealous.
Especially Mu Qingwu’s figure and aura, absolutely stunning.
Her elegant work dress accentuated her beautiful curves, dazzling to the eyes.
What was even more mesmerizing was her challenging eyes.
They sparkled with pride, confidence, defiance, as if she didn’t care about anything in the world.
Any normal man would immediately feel the urge to conquer her.
That would be an unparalleled achievement, a lifetime’s glory!
Seeing many men staring at Mu Qingwu, Xiao Yu rolled his eyes, “You really don’t fit in here!”
“Really?”
Mu Qingwu curled her lips, “Actually, I should thank you for not taking me to a street stall.”
“Ha!” Xiao Yu laughed out loud.
My apologies for that oversight. Let me clarify the term for you:
“Imagining a domineering CEO-like mature woman.”
Wearing an elegant work dress, sitting on a small street stool eating skewers.
Oh my, the image is too beautiful to look at directly!
