Chapter 9: Is She on Her Period?
Xiao Yu was starving, gobbling down the hot pot.
Mu Qingwu took a few bites of the clear broth hot pot and stopped eating.
She seemed more interested in the free drinks at the hot pot restaurant…
“Do you really like the drinks?”
Xiao Yu teased with a smile, “I can see it in your eyes, they’re filled with a longing for poverty!”
Mu Qingwu: …
I really want to hit him, otherwise, I won’t feel at ease!
“I haven’t asked you yet, big sis.”
Xiao Yu mumbled through his food, “What do you do for living?”
“A small company.”
Mu Qingwu looked at him coldly, her clear eyes like autumn water, filled with mockery and anger.
“…”
Now it was Xiao Yu’s turn to want to hit her.
That supercar of yours could probably buy a small company, right?
He could guess that Mu Qingwu was probably one of those ‘female CEOs.’
The kind of ‘auntie’ that boys long for but can’t get…
“Auntie, I don’t want to work hard anymore.”
Xiao Yu joked with a reference from his previous life.
“What?”
Mu Qingwu was stunned, then instantly reacted, annoyed, “Is it fun for a man to bully a weak woman?”
“If I can’t even bully a weak woman, how can I bully others?”
Xiao Yu chuckled and shook his head, “Big sis, stop pretending. I’m not blind.”
He was actually getting back at her for using him as a tool.
“Hmph.” Mu Qingwu snorted coldly.
“Tell me, how do I cooperate with you?”
Xiao Yu started to feel uneasy, “Your mom… no, I mean, your auntie, what’s she like?”
“Pretty good, I guess.”
Mu Qingwu thought for a moment, then smirked, “Just not very friendly to me!”
“Just like my mom.”
Thinking of his own mom, Xiao Yu smiled wryly.
It seems that parents all over the world aren’t very friendly to their own children; they always like other people’s kids.
Should I go home tonight?
Since Master is working late, I might as well crash at the team for the night.
Thinking of how he had run away after barely saying two words to his blind date today.
***
If he went home, his mom would definitely beat him up!
Seeing Xiao Yu suddenly looking worried and scared, Mu Qingwu became curious, “Is your mother really that fierce?”
“Fierce?”
Xiao Yu’s face turned pale, “You must have misunderstood the word fierce. How should I describe my mom… She’s ruthless.”
“Haha!”
Mu Qingwu laughed, her beautiful eyes sparkling, soft and tender, “Really?”
“Really.”
Xiao Yu smiled, “But, although my dad and I have suffered a lot of beatings, honestly, my mom is the best mother in my heart.”
Thinking of his mom in this life, infinite warmth appeared on his face.
Yes, she was a protective mom.
Despite bullying her son and husband.
If anyone dared to touch her son and husband.
She would dig up their ancestor’s graves.
A typical Northeastern woman!
“A bit envious.” Mu Qingwu sighed.
“All the same.”
Xiao Yu laughed, “Mothers envy other people’s kids, kids envy other people’s mothers.”
“That’s true.”
Mu Qingwu nodded, looking at the big boy in front of her, “Are you full? I’ll take you to a place.”
A boutique store.
Xiao Yu rolled his eyes the whole time like a tool.
Under Mu Qingwu’s direction, with the help of the boutique’s staff and the female owner, he changed into one outfit after another, including belts, leather shoes… even got a haircut.
When he walked out of the fitting room.
Everyone’s eyes widened.
Clothes make the man is no joke.
Dressed in luxurious clothes, Xiao Yu now looked tall, with fair skin, a straight nose, eyes like stars, and every movement was like a breeze in spring.
Paired with well-fitted casual wear, he could only be described as dashing and elegant.
Xiao Yu usually didn’t pay much attention to his clothes, dressing casually.
With a face that handsome, and a model-like figure.
He could have relied on his looks to make a living, but he chose the police profession.
After a while, Mu Qingwu came back to her senses, noticing the boutique owner and staff staring at Xiao Yu with infatuation, feeling a strange surge of anger.
Huh?
What’s happening to me?
Shaking her head, Mu Qingwu said, “This outfit will do.”
Without thinking further, she took Xiao Yu out of the boutique.
In the car.
“Wear this outfit to meet my mom tomorrow.”
Mu Qingwu’s face was slightly cold, “Just wear it once tomorrow, and don’t wear it again after.”
“Huh?” Xiao Yu was puzzled.
Is she on her period? Bad mood, huh.
“Did you hear me?”
Mu Qingwu turned her head, gave Xiao Yu a cold look.
“You bought it, you decide.” Xiao Yu shrugged.
Confirmed, she’s definitely on her period, her mood stinks.
At times like this, it’s best not to provoke a girl, or you’ll get hurt.
The two of them discussed the details of meeting her mom the next day while in the car.
Xiao Yu got out of the car and returned to the Criminal Investigation Team.
Mu Qingwu didn’t drive away immediately, but gazing the big boy’s back.
Not until he was out of sight did she snap out of it and drive away…
