Chu Ge sat on the couch with his hands clasped, while Qiu Wuji sat beside him, hugging a pig-shaped pillow. Both of them hung their heads down, as if they were apprehended by the police on the spot.
At this mont, Qiu Wuji felt that the pig-shaped pillow she was hugging might be Chu Ge’s embodint. Perhaps Chu Ge’s mom had mistaken the pigs she raised, and this pig was actually Chu Ge. That’s why she enjoyed hugging it.
With this thought, her mood suddenly improved. She secretly glanced at Chu Ge, then sneakily looked at Wu Xiuyun.
Chu Ge was acting nonchalant, saying, “Since you already know, I won’t pretend to be a righteous person anymore…”
Wu Xiuyun: “?”
Qiu Wuji: “…”
Chu Ge cleared his throat. “She used to be a skilled underground fighter with no legal status. Now she’s decided to turn over a new leaf and learn writing from .”
Wu Xiuyun took a deep breath, about to scold, but then she heard Chu Ge quickly continue, “She is now my girlfriend, Mom.”
Wu Xiuyun forgot what she wanted to scold and her eyes suddenly lit up.
Qiu Wuji’s eyes also sparkled, appearing both resentful and pleased. She wanted to argue that she wasn’t his girlfriend, but the words didn’t co out as she once again lowered her head.
She had to deal with his mother… Well, she would figure it out as they went along…
Chu Ge said earnestly, “No matter what her previous identity was, it doesn’t matter. Whether she was a victim of trafficking or an undocunted person, whether she was a queen ruling the world or a ruthless criminal, she is my Qiu Wuji. I like her, Mom… Your departnt is so capable, please help cover up the past.”
Qiu Wuji stared at him in a daze.
Wu Xiuyun’s gaze quickly shifted between the two young lovebirds, feeling imnse joy in her heart. Children couldn’t understand the mindset of being a parent, always feeling guilty and trying to gain their parents’ understanding. Actually, this thing really depends on gender…
If the genders were reversed, with a girl living together with an unidentified man, insisting that it didn’t matter what he did, I still want to be with him, the parents would probably be furious and slap you ten tis, then throw the man into the river, no matter how handso he was, he would still be an ugly monster.
But when a boy brings ho an incredibly beautiful girl and says, “Mom, I like this woman, no matter who she is, I want to be with her,” can it be the sa?
Of course not…
Although there were definitely concerns about her identity, those concerns were on a completely different level. The more crucial issue was testing her character. The past didn’t matter as much anymore, even if she had offended international gangs and fled back to the country, so what? Was their family afraid?
After dealing with identities, they had had been quietly observing without saying a word. The observations were sowhat biased because although the young couple was always together, except for proving that they could live together, nothing else could be seen. This ti, it was Wu Xiuyun’s suggestion to have Qiu Wuji help track down the enemy. Although she could find them herself, the idea of getting a “civilian girl” to help was not Moon Shadow’s own, but Wu Xiuyun’s. She wanted to see Qiu Wuji’s character and if she took the right path.
Qiu Wuji imdiately agreed without hesitation, showing her willingness to cooperate with the country. Even after finding the enemy, she refused to leave and insisted on staying with them. That showed her determination to eradicate evil. She easily counterattacked when ambushed, displaying her abilities.
Noticing that both of them didn’t care about their own safety during the battle, ready to strike both of them with a single sword, showed her hot temper… oh, I an her strong and confident nature!
Lastly, realizing that sothing was wrong and decisively stopping the fight, only attacking the enemy, showed her astute judgnt!
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law worked together and captured an important drug lord. This ti, she really made a great contribution.
Except for the slight deviation in “realizing that sothing was wrong and decisively stopping the fight” the rest is basically accurate. One can indeed observe a lot from soone’s behavior when facing danger. Based on previous observations, it can be concluded that Qiu Wuji doesn’t like to get involved in such matters. She’s a hobody… which ans she can take care of things at ho and won’t be careless when it cos to important matters.
She can handle both the hall and the kitchen.
Wu Xiuyun couldn’t help but think, Isn’t this just ?
She was so satisfied that she wanted to tell Chu Ge to get married imdiately.
The only lant was that her son might not be up to par. No wonder he started using durian so early…
Seeing Chu Ge’s anxious expression, Wu Xiuyun finally laughed and said, “Since I’m the one who arranged your identities, of course, I will cover it up. You don’t need to worry.”
Chu Ge breathed a sigh of relief and awkwardly said, “I thought Zhong Yi was the capable one, but it turns out the capable one is my own mother.”
Qiu Wuji rubbed the pig-shaped pillow and increasingly felt that this was indeed Chu Ge.
Wu Xiuyun said, “We are constantly battling against despicable and dangerous elents. Once our family identities are exposed, it will be troubleso… Unless you have decided to carry on the family business, if you want your family to live a normal life, secrecy is necessary. It applies to you too. Otherwise, young people tend to be loose-lipped and like to show off. If they leak information while showing off, everything will be ruined.”
Chu Ge remained silent for a mont and whispered, “I understand, I’ll be discreet. And what about dad?”
“Your father is abroad.” Wu Xiuyun seed to emphasize the high level of confidentiality and didn’t want to say more. She quickly changed the topic and said, “Zhong Yi is indeed capable, but don’t trust him too much just because I introduced him.”
“Huh? Why do you say that?”
“He is considered… um, in ancient terms, he can be described as a recluse of sorts. He is involved in both the black and white sides of things and has diverse connections. The so-called unofficial personnel. He has his advantages, which are convenient for us, but for us, it’s also a way to keep him in check.”
“But you still revealed our relationship to him?”
“I did it intentionally. Firstly, to test him, and secondly, because our consideration for you has changed a bit since you developed abilities. We have the intention of training you. Of course, he is different from external enemies. Even if he knows your identity and wants to do sothing, the thods he would use are not the sa as those of an enemy. It’s fine to have normal interactions with him. Just don’t be overly loyal to everyone you et.”
Chu Ge nodded silently. He had previously felt that his parents might have had a change of mind regarding his thoughts and were trying to expose him to the world of supernatural powers. However, it could be because his parents were still concerned and had only been testing the waters.
The matter of getting in touch with Zhong Yi was one example of that. And then there was the grain of sand from the sea.
“That grain of sand…”
“The supernatural world is elusive and most people cannot perceive it. This grain of sand helps in enhancing perception. It holds great significance for individuals who have just awakened their abilties, as it assists them in familiarizing and developing their abilities. Once I found out that the Wang family possessed this item, I thought of using it for you. Honestly, after being involved in this world for so many years, it wouldn’t be difficult for to acquire it for you. But our family doesn’t engage in such activities, and there’s actually no need.”
Chu Ge said, “Indeed, there’s no need. Since its purpose is to assist beginners, I will use it for a while until I beco capable of perceiving without any assistance. Then, I won’t need it anymore.”
Wu Xiuyun nodded satisfactorily. This kid wasn’t a fool after all.
The problem was, even if you’re not a fool, while others would find a month’s use of this sand sufficient, why do you need an extension for a month?
Feeling the gaze of his mother’s disdain, Chu Ge stamred, “I… I used it sparingly before.”
“Since you have sothing so important in your possession, why haven’t you been studying it day and night? What have you been doing?”
“Fa-Falling in love.”
The atmosphere fell silent.
Qiu Wuji covered her face with her hands.
This kid wasn’t a fool? While others would find a month’s use of it sufficient, had this kid used it only three tis in total? Wu Xiuyun gritted her teeth. “Where is it? Why can’t I perceive its location? Did you lose it?”
Qiu Wuji finally spoke up. “I concealed it using my thods…”
Wu Xiuyun was greatly surprised.
It’s difficult to conceal sothing related to the supernatural world. So when the Wang family acquired it, it was like a firefly in the dark, unable to hide.
Yet her daughter-in-law managed to conceal it…
She had a slight thought but didn’t inquire further about how it was concealed. In reality, there were many people in the agency who could achieve this, utilizing special ntal abilities. It’s just that her daughter-in-law appeared even more unfathomable, what abilities does she possess exactly?
Well… it’s better to let young people have so secrets. If she asks too many questions, it won’t be good for the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law…
Wu Xiuyun put aside her serious thoughts and lazily stretched, saying, “Alright, you can use that sand for now. We’ll discuss whether you still need it or not later. It’s late, is it okay if I stay here tonight? I see you have two rooms…”
Chu Ge and Qiu Wuji’s eyes widened simultaneously.
They saw Wu Xiuyun swaying her way to the door of the second bedroom and took a glance inside. Her eyes widened even further. “You… you’re not sleeping in the sa room?”
Does this young couple have so problems in their relationship? Living together before marriage, weren’t they inseparable? And yet they’re sleeping in separate rooms? How will they live together in the future?
Wu Xiuyun looked at the couple on the couch with an unfriendly expression. The two of them exchanged glances, their foreheads beaded with cold sweat.
