Two-Faced Husband, Have Some Decency!-Chapter 491 - Murder In The Secret Room Of The Dormitory
Chapter 491: Murder In The Secret Room Of The Dormitory
Unexpectedly, Qi Youxuan arrogantly said, “Mumu, remember to respect Sergeant Jiang even more next time. Remember to call him Uncle Jiang when you meet him again!”
Every single person fell into common silence.
It seemed they had underestimated the extent of how truly shameless Qi Youxuan could be.
As the meal was served, Qi Youxuan immediately served Wei Muran some food and had even picked out the tiny fish bones for her. As long as Wei Muran could eat comfortably, it never bothered him much. There was no need for Wei Muran to do anything on her own other than using her chopsticks and drinking water.
Wei Muran felt guilty and whispered, “It’s fine, go ahead and eat, alright?”
“It’s my sole responsibility to take care of my girlfriend,” Qi Youxuan said as he picked out the tiny fish bones for Wei Muran while shamelessly tilting his head to the side. “I know Mumu cares about me the most,” he added.
“…” Wei Muran could no longer contain herself, pinching him with all her might and rebuked him, “You… Behave yourself now!”
Everyone else witnessing this scene cringed extremely hard. Zhang Ming felt like puking but knew nothing he said would even go through Qi Youxuan’s head, so he had no choice but to continue resisting the urge to do so. Of course, he kept staring at Qi Youxuan with an unrelenting judgemental gaze.
Qi Youxuan never noticed his stares and instead glanced over at Wei Muran with an extremely depressing look. “It’s an arduous journey for me to gain this official acknowledgment from you,” whined Qi Youxuan, “can’t you allow me to show off a little?”
“You…you had your fun now!” Wei Muran glared at him. She then said, “If you keep this up, I’ll ignore you!”
“Alright, alright, alright.” Qi Youxuan frantically placed some food on her plate. He then coaxed, “Don’t get mad alright, Mumu?”
…
After that meal, everyone proceeded to head back home.
Since Wei Muran knew Qi Youxuan was still suffering from jetlag and that he was extremely tired, she vehemently told him to rest, adamant on not going on a date with him at this moment.
On the other hand, Qi Youxuan was aware of how hard Wei Muran had worked on this case, all the all-nighters she had pulled, and the hectic schedule which forced her to wake up extremely early. He never objected too much so he drove her back home.
Wei Ziqi was still working in his office at this moment so she was not worried about Wei Ziqi running into them.
As the car was parked by the entrance of her home, and the instant Wei Muran unbuckled her seatbelt, Qi Youxuan suddenly hugged her tightly.
It was as if Qi Youxuan was hugging a body pillow, literally cuddling up to her and nuzzling against her entirely. He then said, “Mumu, why don’t you sleep with me in the car for a bit? It feels too good hugging you, I really wanna sleep now.”
The tone of Qi Youxuan’s voice sounded really exhausted and tired. He did not move an inch the instant he hugged her, collapsing into Wei Muran’s body.
Wei Muran actually assumed he was asleep at this moment thus she did not dare move an inch, allowing him to cuddle with her. Nonetheless, she was uncomfortable in this state.
As she tried to move to a slightly more comfortable position, Qi Youxuan would crawl up to her, making her even more uncomfortable.
Qi Youxuan had only intended to act coquettishly to her, but he noticed Wei Muran had not moved an inch. It was incredibly quiet and after smelling the amazing scent that was emanating from Wei Muran’s body, he genuinely fell asleep.
This nap alone was two hours long; Wei Muran too had napped for a little while.
Qi Youxuan was the first to wake up. He noticed Wei Muran’s eyes were shut tight and was sleeping peacefully. He noticed her soft, tender white skin had a slight subtle hint of blush. It was as if her skin was completely transparent.
Qi Youxuan chuckled before sneakily kissing her lips.
As she felt a slight itch on the edge of her lips, she gave it a gentle scratch before slowly opening her eyes. The instant she opened up her eyes, she was greeted with Qi Youxuan’s incredibly close-up face.
Startled, her face blushed almost immediately as she shoved his face to the side. “What the hell are you leaning so close to me for? You scared the life outta me.”
Qi Youxuan shamelessly leaned back at her while puckering his lips, begging for a kiss. However, after doing so, his expression morphed into a strange look.
Wei Muran felt odd as she noticed Qi Youxuan’s line of sight was a little weird, so she turned around to find Wei Ran standing beside the car with arms crossed, seemingly teasing them as she stared.
Wei Muran immediately shoved him aside and got out of the car. The instant she got down, she rushed to grab onto her mother’s arm and said, “Heheh, mom, what are you doing out here?”
“I was about to do some work in organizing my garden when I saw a car that resembled Qi Youxuan’s parked right out the door when I did, so I decided to head outside to investigate.” As Wei Ran explained, Youxuan had also got out of his car.
Qi Youxuan proceeded to walk toward her. He said with an extremely sweet voice along with a clean and wide smile, “Mom!”
Wei Ran smirked but there was not exactly a huge reaction from her. After all, she was used to Qi Youxuan calling her mother-in-law. She was unsure if he had done it on purpose, but it was no-brainer she was brainwashed by the way he addressed her ever since he was little.
Fortunately for them, Wei Ziqi was not present with them. If he had noticed them, this shameless brat would end up beaten and bruised all over before sending him back home.
“Now that you’ve already sent her home, you’ll need to head on back for some rest too, you know?” Wei Ran said. She added, “Your father returns quite early from work recently, and he’ll run into you both the longer you two stand out here.”
Wei Muran stuck out her tongue at Qi Youxuan. Qi Youxuan was also aware that he should not rush things with Wei Ziqi so he walked over to Wei Ran’s side and proceeded to grab onto her shoulders and whined in a sad, depressing tone, “Mom, when Dad comes home later, you’ll have to put in some good word for me, okay? You’ll have to hurry up and help me officiate our relationship okay. Otherwise, I’ll be left without any official status within our family, and I’d feel so conflicted!”
Staring at Qi Youxuan’s sad look, Wei Ran could not help but grace him with some motherly love.
She patted Qi Youxuan’s hand and said, “Don’t you worry. No matter what happens, it’s best for me to give him some prep time and some heads up first. This will allow him to be fully prepared, so when the time comes, he wouldn’t react too drastically.”
As he thought about his father-in-law, Qi Youxuan felt slightly anxious. He said, “You’re the best, Mom. Don’t you worry, I’ll make sure I’ll treat you extremely well in the future.”
Wei Ran chuckled as she was completely charmed by Qi Youxuan.
After sending Qi Youxuan, Wei Ran brought Wei Muran home as they walked side by side. She proceeded to gently poke Wei Muran’s nose and said, “I knew it! I’ve always known he’d win your heart.”
“Oh my god, Mom. Was I truly… that easy to be won over? I’ve made him wait for over 20 years now, you know!” Wei Muran replied with a pride-filled tone.
Wei Ran nodded in content. She said, “That’s great that he’s decided on you since he was a child. Otherwise, judging from your dad’s attitude and temper, I believe he’d actually want you to not marry anyone.”
“…” Wei Muran was speechless.
That possibility was not too far-fetched.
…
Qi Youxuan returned home in order to retune his body’s natural circadian rhythm. Of course, it was never a one-day recovery as he had taken a long nap at noon, coupled with his flight back home from Europe. It was morning over in Europe, and he had also taken a nap in flight since he was bored. He thus became wide awake in the middle of the night. He only felt tired when it was three in the morning.
He was plagued by severe insomnia yet was too afraid of disturbing Wei Muran. Eventually, he fell asleep after a long and painful struggle. He was too tired to wake up in the day.
The blaring of his ringtone woke him from his slumber, and he initially intended to ignore the call and wanted to just hang up. His hands had already reached his phone but as he seemingly recalled something, he immediately struggled to open his eyes. Before his vision focused, he could see the name ‘Mumu’ displayed on his screen. Hence, he immediately picked up the call.
“Mumu, do you need to head to work? Just wait for me, I’ll drive you there.” Qi Youxuan got out of bed to collect himself as he spoke.
“No, Sergeant Jiang called me earlier, told me a male victim had died in University A.” Judging from Wei Muran’s tone, she too sounded groggy, a proof she had also been awakened by a phone call.
He knew for fact that she had also been told about this incident and had called him immediately. Qi Youxuan’s smile was wide enough to touch the very edge of his ears.
“We’re leaving now, and we’ll be gathering in University A,” said Wei Muran.
“Just wait for me, I’ll pick you up from your house,” Qi Youxuan replied as he jumped off his bed and started to get ready.
“You don’t have to. Jiang Yuecheng told me that he’s going to University A with me since he’s going the same route,” Wei Muran replied.
“Colleague, Wei Muran!” Wei Muran was startled by the serious tone Qi Youxuan used on her. Although Qi Youxuan could not see it, Wei Muran sat up from her bed the instant she heard that tone through the phone call.
“What…what’s wrong?” Wei Muran was shocked; he had never used that tone with her, even from when they were children.
“You have a boyfriend now, how could you allow another man to drive you?” Especially when that man had clear feelings for you.
However, he had only kept the last bit of the sentence to himself, since he dared not to tell Wei Muran. If Wei Muran knew about how Jiang Yuecheng felt about her, he would have done him a favor.
“Sergeant Jiang told me he’d also be picking up Xing Jiadong. It’s on the same route anyway,” Wei Muran replied in a soft tone. However, she had never doubted anything Qi Youxuan had told her ever since she was little. Most of the time, whatever he said turned out to be true, which resulted in her current lack of resistance.
“Heheh,” Qi Youxuan chuckled. He knew Jiang Yuecheng would be alone in that car when he would arrive.
When that happened, he would have said that something turned up for Xing Jiadong, so he took off to University A first.
Such a pathetic, shameless man to push someone into a corner.
“I’ll call him and tell him you’ll be picking me up then,” Wei Muran said.
Feeling extremely satisfied with her reply, Qi Youxuan swiftly got ready then proceeded to drive over to Wei Ziqi’s house. However, upon his arrival, he was shocked to see Jiang Yuecheng had still shown up at the door.
Wei Muran was awkwardly waiting with him, thus, Qi Youxuan immediately got out of the car with a huge smile on his face.
“What a coincidence, Sergeant Jiang,” Qi Youxuan said with a huge smile.
“Oh, it’s on the same route anyway, so I decided to drive Muran to University A with me,” Jiang Yuecheng replied with a cold expression.
