Chapter 65: Kissed by an Angel

Waking up, Xiao Yu found himself gazing fondly at Mu Qingwu cradled in his arms. Her complexion was flawless, pale as sculpted ice, her nose elegantly sharp, and her lips full. With her eyes closed, her thick eyelashes interlaced like dense brushes.

He had often fantasized about his significant other. Perhaps someone who loved to be coddled? Or maybe a simple, sweet girl?

Never had he imagined it would be someone like her. Sometimes domineering, sometimes elegant, sometimes gentle, yet occasionally an aloof beauty who seemed as if she could drip honey with her maturity.

And now, looking closely, he could see a mix of innocent allure and seductive charm in her.

Leaning down, he kissed her jade-like cheek, then tiptoed out of bed.

After freshening up, he headed to the kitchen. As he was preparing breakfast, a pair of jade arms reached from behind, encircling his waist.

“Didn’t we agree that I would do the cooking from now on?”

Her voice was soft and slightly chiding from behind him.

That’s right, he had promised to eat the meals cooked by his sister for the rest of his life.

“I’ll cook when I’m free, and you cook when you’re free,” he said.

Turning around, Xiao Yu pecked at her enticing lips. “I’m thirsty. Could you get me some water?”

Mu Qingwu fetched a cup and filled it from the water purifier. Seeing her brother’s hands were busy, she held the cup to his mouth.

However…

“Don’t drink this.”

Xiao Yu turned his head away with a mischievous smile. “I’d rather drink directly from my sister’s lips.”

With an alluring roll of her eyes, Mu Qingwu took a sip of water and then pressed her lips against Xiao Yu’s, sharing the water with a kiss.

It was time to head to the provincial city. Today was the day for awarding honors.

At the airport, Mu Qingwu was adjusting Xiao Yu’s police uniform. For the award ceremony in the provincial capital, it was customary to wear a uniform.

Zhao Changshan, watching from nearby, wore an expression that seemed painfully constipated.

Unseen dog food is the most deadly!

It was clear to anyone that this young couple looked like lovers deep in the throes of passion, seeing only each other, blind to all else.

As the captain, and with his subordinate receiving honors, Zhao Changshan would naturally attend.

Watching the couple, he couldn’t help but wonder. Had this whole family been kissed by angels for their stunning looks? They were too beautiful!

Next, a moment that astounded Zhao Changshan unfolded.

Mu Qingwu adjusted Xiao Yu’s clothes and noticed that his shoelaces had come undone. Despite being dressed in opulent clothes, she knelt down to tie his shoelaces.

At that moment, Mu Qingwu was no longer a billionaire tycoon. She was just a wife looking after her husband.

A warm current flowed through Xiao Yu’s heart. “Tonight, I want to eat food cooked by my sister.”

“Okay,” Mu Qingwu responded, a soft smile playing on her cool, jade-like face.

She watched Xiao Yu walk toward the security checkpoint until he was out of sight. Then, her aloof and queenly demeanor returned as she gracefully made her way out of the airport.

***

On the plane.

“What kind of incredible luck have you stumbled upon?” Zhao Changshan asked enviously. “Do you know that from the time we got married until now, my wife has never once tied my shoelaces.”

“My mom and dad are like that too,” Xiao Yu chuckled. “Apart from housework and cooking, it’s usually my dad who tends to my mom. Captain, you aren’t also… scared of your wife, are you?”

Now he was well acquainted with Zhao Changshan. Knowing what kind of person his captain was, joking around was perfectly normal.

“Scared because you’re young?” Zhao Changshan glanced dismissively at Xiao Yu, “That’s not fear, that’s terror.”

Xiao Yu burst into laughter.

Thinking about his own father’s subordinate position within the family, it really was like that. Fortunately, Mu Qingwu appeared to be a queen but was actually a tender-hearted sister inside.

What if he ended up like his dad, with a partner like his mom?

Xiao Yu shivered at the thought.

He figured that as long as his neighbor wasn’t named Wang, those would be days of peace.

As a provincial capital, S City was quite similar to Bincheng. However, the Provincial Department’s office building was something that a smaller unit like the municipal bureau couldn’t compare with.

Upon reaching the grand conference room at the Provincial Department, a sea of deep blue uniforms filled the room, densely packed with policemen.

Xiao Yu and Zhao Changshan sat diligently, listening to the speeches of the leaders on the podium.

Interestingly, Xiao Yu had coincidentally arrived during the annual special award ceremony. That was why his second-class merit award was processed so quickly.

Xiao Yu remembered that in his previous life, he had also been awarded a second-class merit, but it took several months to receive the medal and certificate.

After over an hour of speeches, the award ceremony commenced.

A medal was indeed an award, and in strict terms, within the police system, the only decorations referred to as medals were the first, second, and third-class merits and honorary title medals. Medals signified a certain level of qualification and contribution, awarded for outstanding achievement in particular tasks or missions.

At that moment, someone on the stage called out Xiao Yu’s name.

Instantly, countless pairs of eyes turned to Xiao Yu as he stood up. The crowd was surprised to see such a young and somewhat overachieving officer.

When Xiao Yu was presented with the second-class merit medal, the expressions of those present turned to shock.

In this profession, who didn’t understand what a second-class merit represented?

What followed next was even more astonishing. A man in plain clothes stepped onto the podium, approached Xiao Yu, and took out a first-class merit medal.

He pinned it on Xiao Yu’s chest.

The hall fell completely silent, you could hear a pin drop.
