Chapter 4 Turning pages is not as fast as you

Mu Qingwu smiled and asked, "Is a monthly salary of one to two thousand enough for your expenses?"

"It should be enough." Xiao Yu felt a little ashamed. But he knew that during the internship period, there wasn't much he could do about his salary.

"Do you have a car?" Mu Qingwu asked.

"Do you have a car?" Mu Qingwu asked.

"Emmmmm... no." Xiao Yu answered honestly.

"What car do you like?" Mu Qingwu continued to ask.

Xiao Yu was a little confused, "What do you mean?"

Mu Qingwu pointed to a really fancy car in the garage and asked, "Do you like this limited edition Bugatti Veyron?"

Xiao Yu:? ? ?

"It's yours now." Mu Qingwu said calmly.

Xiao Yu: ...

"Do you have a room?" Mu Qingwu asked with a smile.

Xiao Yu looked confused and hadn't fully processed what Mu Qingwu had just said.

He couldn't believe someone would give away a luxury car so easily.

It felt like he had heard of this kind of situation before, maybe in a book or a story.

He wondered if the woman offering the car was truly as generous as she seemed or if there was some hidden motive behind it.

"I'll see you off." Mu Qingwu smiled.

Are you a devil... The way Xiao Yu looked at her changed.

"Now let's turn the conversation back to you," said Mu Qingwu, noticing Xiao Yu's shocked expression. "Do you still feel old at 28?"

Xiao Yu took a deep breath and felt like yelling, 'Just admit you're old, what's the big deal?' But then he hesitated.

The woman had been so generous and kind towards him, and Xiao Yu felt like he had given too much of himself for too long.

"Excuse me."

Xiao Yu shook his head and walked towards the villa gate, his mind elsewhere.

He wasn't pretending to be modest or humble - as someone who had traveled through time, he had access to a system that allowed him to accumulate wealth easily.

He had no need for flashy cars or houses, as he already had more than enough.

From the moment he arrived in this world, he had decided to give up the mundane and unfulfilling life of the wealthy.

Mu Qingwu watched him go, feeling surprised and somewhat incredulous.

While she understood that money wasn't everything, it was clear that Xiao Yu had the means to obtain almost anything he wanted.

Women, in particular, can be quite curious about things they don't understand, and Mu Qingwu was no exception.

"Are you just going to leave like that?"

Mu Qingwu changed her approach and became less aggressive, using a soft voice that made her sound vulnerable.

Xiao Yu stopped in his tracks, unsure of how to respond to this change in tone.

Mu Qingwu's face lit up with excitement, as if she had made a breakthrough.

However, her expression quickly changed to one of stubbornness, with pursed lips and a hint of anger.

Xiao Yu was confused by her sudden change in demeanor and wondered if she was upset with him over a loan he owed her or something else entirely.

"What the hell do you want?" Xiao Yu couldn't resist Mu Qingwu's gaze and eventually gave in to her.

"My mother has been pressuring me to find a boyfriend and get married." As she spoke, Mu Qingwu dropped her pretense and revealed her true emotions.

She looked genuinely upset and turned her head to gaze at the flowers and plants in the garden.

"and then?" For some reason, Xiao Yu felt a sense of kinship with Mu Qingwu and her situation.

"I'm not ready to look for a boyfriend yet... but I can't bear to see my mother cry in front of me all the time," Mu Qingwu sighed. "Please help me, I don't expect you to actually be my boyfriend."

Got it, Xiao Yu rolled his eyes. So you just want to use me as a tool, right?

"At the restaurant, you saw that I wasn't interested in a real blind date, didn't you?" Xiao Yu smiled. "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"What was I supposed to tell you?"

Mu Qingwu turned her head to look at Xiao Yu and once again put on a look of distress and stubbornness.

You're good enough. Don't think I don't know you're just putting on an act. I have been a detective in my past lives...

Mu Qingwu was taken aback. Had she been caught? She dropped her pretense and stared directly at Xiao Yu.

"It's all just an act, isn't it?" Xiao Yu pondered for a moment and decided that this plan was quite feasible. "Alright, from now on, when I need you to act with me, you have to play along. And when you need me, I'll pretend to be your boyfriend. And in our free time, we can just go about our own business, okay?"

"Sure," Xiao Yu said, taking out his phone and exchanging numbers with Mu Qingwu. "Just give me a call when you need me to play the part."

The two exchanged cell phone numbers.

"Goodbye." Mu Qingwu saw off the guests.

Xiao Yu: ...

It's quicker to change your mind than to flip through a book.

She manipulated my emotions, damaged my self-respect, and now she's pushing me away, causing me to cry.

Being independent can be difficult.

Xiao Yu left the villa and took a taxi home after the awkward fake date with Mu Qingwu.

He was worried about how to explain the situation to his mother, but the thought of having a fake girlfriend made him feel relieved.

On the way home, he realized that he forgot to ask Mu Qingwu about her occupation.

As he was about to make the call, he received an unexpected call that made him clench his fists in excitement: he had been assigned to the criminal investigation brigade.
