NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 22 - Not Acting Like a Human, Are We?
Chapter 22: Not Acting Like a Human, Are We?
The next day, at the Civil Affairs Bureau.
A pair of ‘couples’ in white shirts lined up, registered, took photos, recited vows… until they walked out of the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Xiao Yu and Mu Qingwu held their marriage certificates, staring blankly at each other, then turning to look at the joyous elders.
You might not believe it, but we got married!
A complaint stuck in his throat; Xiao Yu didn’t know whether to say it or not. He was utterly confused.
Next to him, Mu Qingwu had the same look, her eyes at their parents’ eyes, as if looking at devils.
They originally thought the elders were just talking yesterday and that even if they got married, it would be in a few days.
But the next day.
Both families had prepared the household registries.
First get the certificate, then plan the wedding!
If not for the strongly refusal of the two youngsters.
One said they just started at their job, taking wedding leave would be bad.
The other said business was busy, no time.
Otherwise, the wedding might have been held in a few days…
Even so, the next day.
The elders booked ten tables at a hotel and invited a bunch of relatives and friends.
Xiao Yu and Mu Qingwu drank until late, not even knowing how they got home…
When they woke, another dawn had broken.
Xiao Yu found his left arm… gone!
No, it wasn’t gone.
It was numb and had lost feeling.
Because a woman was lying in his arms, pinning his arm numb!
Damn it… Xiao Yu couldn’t help but want to curse.
It was really frightened him!
Seeing it was Mu Qingwu sleeping soundly in his arms.
He lifted the blanket to check and sighed in relief.
Luckily, he didn’t do anything stupid while drunk.
Not sure whether to feel relieved or disappointed.
Anyway, Xiao Yu had mixed feelings.
“Big sis, big sis, wake up.” Xiao Yu gently shook the woman in his arms.
“Don’t bother me!”
Mu Qingwu mumbled, snuggling deeper into Xiao Yu’s embrace, continuing to sleep.
Xiao Yu: …
Not acting like a human, are we?
Or not treating me like a man?
If I weren’t in a hurry for work, believe it or not, I would…
Thinking about work, Xiao Yu couldn’t bear it, half-smiling, half-threatening, “If you keep pretending, I might really do something.”
Mu Qingwu: …
Her fair face flushed, she opened her eyes.
Amid messy hair, her watery eyes flashed with annoyed emotion.
That look seemed to say to Xiao Yu.
You’re despicable!
“Don’t look at me like that, check your conscience.”
Xiao Yu rolled his eyes, “You were lying in my arms, not the other way around!”
“Does it matter?”
Mu Qingwu’s demeanor was cold yet pure, like a celestial being.
As if she wasn’t the one lying in Xiao Yu’s arms, speaking so righteously.
Xiao Yu opened his mouth but couldn’t find words.
Never argue with a woman.
How many times did he get beaten by his mom, didn’t he remember?
At times like this, keeping quiet is better than anything!
Mu Qingwu’s lips curved slightly, returning to her cold self, she got up gracefully and floated away…
Only then did Xiao Yu realize this wasn’t his home but Mu Qingwu’s.
To be precise, it was the villa Mu Qingwu didn’t frequently stay in.
Now, it had become their new home!
After a moment of confusion, Xiao Yu shook his head, ran to the bedroom’s bathroom to wash up.
Dressed, he rushed out of the room…
Mu Qingwu was sitting in the hall, drinking coffee.
“Big sis, come here, we’re going to be late.”
Xiao Yu was ready to dash out of the villa.
Mu Qingwu calmly said, “Take my car, or you’ll really be late.”
Xiao Yu stopped, hesitated a bit, then went to Mu Qingwu, took the car keys, and ran…
Reporting late to the team after just a few days would definitely leave a bad impression on colleagues.
When he drove the supercar to the Criminal Investigation Team, seeing his colleagues’ strange looks.
Xiao Yu smacked his forehead, forgetting his identity.
A cop driving a luxury car to work, asking for trouble?
No sense of police image?
Sure enough, after changing into his uniform, he was called to the team leader’s office.
Zhao Changsheng frowned at the embarrassed Xiao Yu, “What’s going on? Don’t you know your car is over the limit? Even if your family is rich, you need to be mindful of the impact. It can cause trouble.”
Though it sounded like a scolding, it was actually kind advice, explaining the consequences to Xiao Yu.
“Sorry, Team Leader.”
Xiao Yu explained, “The car isn’t mine, it’s… my wife’s!”
Proper procedures, legally married, calling Mu Qingwu his wife is fine, right?
“Ah?”
Zhao Changsheng was stunned, “How old are you, already married?”
“Got the certificate two days ago.” Xiao Yu grinned.
“…”
Zhao Changsheng was dumbfounded, looking like ‘Are you joking?’
“Really.”
Xiao Yu smiled wryly, “Yesterday we had a banquet for relatives and friends, drank too much, so I had to drive my wife’s car here!”
“Why didn’t you mention such a big event like getting married?”
Zhao Changsheng’s face softened, showing a smile.
“Just joined the team, taking wedding leave would be bad.”
Xiao Yu had no better explanation.
The fuck with it, Do you think I wanted to get married? I was forced!
“Congratulations.”
Zhao Changsheng smiled, then turned serious, “I wanted to call you yesterday, but luckily I didn’t.” (tln : remember, you gave him three day off man)
“Ah?” Xiao Yu looked puzzled.
“The team’s got work.”
Now it was Zhao Changsheng’s turn to smile wryly, “Big work!”
Hearing this, Xiao Yu’s heart skipped a beat.
What’s big work?
A major case!
