Chapter 388: Suspicious Behavior

Yunru stared at Zizi and wondered what she was talking to him. Then he heard the honk of a car behind, and he saw the signal turn green. He pulled over and left, still glancing at the rearview mirror in between.

When he arrived back at the police station after his patrol, he saw Feng Xiao already back at his desk. He paused in his steps and blinked.

Yunru walked towards him and smiled. "Hey."

Feng Xiao raised his head and grinned. "Yo, Yunru! Any problems during the patrol?"

He thought back to Zizi and his meeting.

"Not really…"

"That's great."

He cleared his throat. "So, what are you up to?"

Feng Xiao shrugged. "Nothing much. Just the usual. I just busted an illegal gambling casino last night, but the owner fled," he sighed, "It's a mess."

"I see."

"I want to take a long break now and go on a vacation," he stretched his arms.

"Of course. A cop's job is tiring. Speaking of a break...what were you doing?" He casually asked.

Feng Xiao paused. He looked up at him. "Nothing much. Just went out for a cigarette and came back. I cannot rest until I find this casino's owner, so it was a quick one."

Yunru blinked. Of course, Feng Xiao and the officers here knew about Zizi and his relationship. So, if he met Zizi during his break, why didn't he mention it?

"Ah. Yup, I can understand," he smiled. Yunru didn't pursue it further.

Maybe it was my misunderstanding…

But he still felt that he was pretty sure it was Zizi.

"Tell me if you need my help with the owner."

Feng Xiao gave him a high five. "Sure."

After Yunru returned, he saw Zizi and Soo Enlai eagerly discussing something. When they saw him, they simply greeted him.

"Son."

Yunru nodded. "What are you two talking about?"

"Nothing. My clothes have gotten old, so I asked Zizi's advice to buy some new ones. She knows so much about the latest fashion."

Zizi nodded hard. "I will take Dad to the mall where I shop from for bro! You will look like a hero," she giggled.

"Aish, what's the use of looking like a hero now? I am old. If my wife had been here, then I would have definitely done it," he sighed.

Zizi laughed. "Don't be so gloomy, Dad. We must always look our best at all times. There is no age for that. And Mom is seeing you from heaven everyday. Of course, she still wants you to look dashing."

Soo Enlai felt embarrassed. "You…Well, if you insist."

He looked at Yunru again and asked, "How was your day?"

"Ah?" Yunru snapped out. "Good. How about you two?"

Zizi shrugged. "Nothing much. I was showing Dad all sorts of stuff."

He tilted his head. "So you were at home the whole time?"

"Huh? Of course. I said the same when you called me, right?"

Yunru stared at her.

Was it really my misunderstanding?

To be honest, Yunru never doubted his eyesight. It was sharp, and once he saw someone familiar, he wouldn't misunderstand their presence. He strongly felt that it was Zizi he saw during his patrol, but she said she was at home. Not that she looked guilty anyway.

I must be mistaken. Why would Princess lie to me anyway? He shook his head.

Soo Enlai said, "Go freshen up. I am really hungry. Shoo."

"..."

Yunru started feeling more and more that he was being treated as a daughter-in-law, and Soo Enlai was his mother-in-law nitpicking everything.

As he left was when Zizi could finally breathe. "Phew. I don't know. He seemed doubtful for some reason. Didn't I act naturally on the call?" She scratched her chin.

Soo Enlai harrumphed. "That's why I don't like that he is a cop. He is too sharp! We must be careful. Thankfully, he didn't see you with Feng Xiao."

She nodded. "I will be careful from now on."

"I need to be careful from now on…" Zhiyuan pressed his brows.

"From what?"

He stiffened, hearing Xinyi's voice from behind him. Just a few minutes ago, she almost caught him secretly talking to someone.

Xinyi found this to be extremely suspicious. Since the last few days, Zhiyuan was often smiling to himself as if he was very happy about something. But whenever she would ask the reason, he just diverted the conversation.

Under her scrutiny, Zhiyuan slightly cleared his throat. "Xinyi."

"What do you need to be careful of?" She narrowed her eyes.

Is it about me catching him red-handed?

His brow twitched. "Oh that. It's nothing. I...I was just about to trip here and fall. So, I need to be careful."

Xinyi blinked. "Trip from what? There is nothing here."

Why do I feel like I am standing in court before a judge? Zhiyuan wondered.

"I just tripped on my own foot. It happens. Sometimes I walk like an airhead."

Xinyi pursed her lips. 

What is Zhiyuan hiding from me?

Lost in her daze, she suddenly felt Zhiyuan's lips pressed on hers.

"..."

He grabbed her head and kissed her harder, and only after she felt breathless did he only let her go.

"You...what were you doing!? We are in the corridor! S-somebody could have seen us," she blushed furiously.

Zhiyuan smiled. "I need to be careful, and so do you. From me. I always have an urge to eat you up, so you should be very careful around me, wifey~"

"..."

"Remember our lovely massage time at the office?"

Her mouth twitched, and her face turned pink. "You are impossible!"

Xinyi turned and dashed away, covering her face with her hands.

Zhiyuan wiped his forehead that was beginning to sweat from Xinyi's questioning.

"I guess kissing her by surprise will always work. That was a neat trick."

Xinyi was so embarrassed that she forgot all about her suspicions about him.

He called his assistant back. "Okay, let's do it this way. Don't call me about the plan. I will call you if I have to say anything. It will be dangerous if she picks up your call."

"Y-yes, Sir."

"Don't laugh! I was almost caught because of you!" He harrumphed. "Let's just be very careful from on, okay?"
