For a moment, Mu Xinglin even felt that Tang Xun's previous obedient demeanor was all an act.
She was acting with him.
The other person's words about wanting to stay with him and not minding his appearance were just lies to deceive him and protect themselves.
In reality, Tang Xun had long wanted to leave him and return to his own country.
She had absolutely no feelings for him.
During that period, Mu Xinglin lived in a daze.
He considered giving up on Tang Xun, but then felt he couldn't just let it go like that.
He wanted to climb up the social ladder, to become someone outstanding, someone worthy of the other person. He wanted to one day stand before Tang Xun, to reconnect with Tang Xun with a respectable identity, and to make Tang Xun truly fall in love with him.
So, he later killed the leader of the interstellar pirates and gained his first wave of power.
He then spread into the Starfrost Organization, and infiltrated Dr. Helan's side for four years, successfully restoring his appearance. He then discovered his true identity and infiltrated the royal family as the illegitimate son of the King of the Weiss Empire.
Finally, she befriended Mulanco and successfully married into the Oro Empire in place of her.
These efforts, step by step, and these plans, have involved countless hardships.
Now that he had finally achieved his goal, a sense of fear inexplicably crept into his heart.
That's why he kept testing Tang Xun.
The result of the test was that the other person had someone else in their heart.
And that person wasn't him.
"How do you know he doesn't want to see you if you don't tell me?" Yu Xiao tapped the table with her finger and said to Mu Xinglin, "You can be so open with us, but with him, you're acting like a man."
He pointed at Yu Tang and said, "I pursued my Tangtang relentlessly. I liked him, so I just told him directly."
And she wanted the whole world to know that she liked him.
"Anyone who tries to take him from me, I'll kill them, ouch..."
He was only halfway through his sentence when Yu Tang tapped him on the head.
"Stop killing people so easily, can't you get rid of this habit?"
Yu Xiao quickly apologized: "I just said it offhand, Tangtang, don't be angry."
Mu Xinglin watched their interaction, a dark light flashing in his eyes.
He said to Yu Xiao, "General Yu Xiao, thank you for reminding me. I understand what to do now."
Chapter 30
The villain was resurrected for the seventh time (30)
The three of them chatted for a while longer.
Yu Tang and Yu Xiao agreed to keep Mu Xinglin's secret. In return, Mu Xinglin provided the two with all the information he had collected about the Jersey Empire base experiments.
The two sides reached an agreement, intending to use this war as an opportunity to expose the Jersey Empire's conspiracy.
After leaving the teahouse, Yu Tang couldn't help but turn back to look at Mu Xinglin as he got into his car and drove away. He then asked Yu Xiao, "Do you think this Mu Xinglin is trustworthy?"
"Let's put aside whether it's credible or not," Yu said with a smile. "Anyway, I know very well that he must have a lot of lives on his hands. If he really wanted to do something to harm the Oro Empire, he would have already started yesterday. He wouldn't be sitting here so seriously today negotiating with you and me."
"And if I were him, and you were Tang Xun, I think I would make the same decision as him."
“Because people like us are inherently insecure.” He gripped Yu Tang’s hand tightly and said, “When we like someone, we constantly doubt ourselves and become suspicious of the other person.”
Then, they would do everything in their power to stand by the side of their loved one, no matter how many difficulties they would face or how much they would have to pay.
“That’s how he treats Tang Xun.” Yu Xiao sighed softly, and said with rare generosity, “As bystanders, all we can do is wish him success.”
Yu Tang felt a slight tremor in her heart as she looked at him.
He reached out and gently ruffled Yu Xiao's hair, saying, "Xiao Xiao, I hope you will never feel inferior."
"You will always be the best and the most outstanding person in my heart, and the only person I will ever love in this life."
Yu Xiao was slightly taken aback, her eyes crinkling into crescent shapes as she smiled.
He said to Yu Tang, "Tangtang, let's go, I'll take you somewhere."
"Where?"
You'll know when you get there.
Yu Tang was half-pushed and half-forced into the car by Yu Xiao. When they arrived at their destination, he realized that Yu Xiao had taken him to the same couples' restaurant they had visited before.
The boss is still the same woman.
She is also the founder of the Shuangyu CP super topic on the interstellar network.
After learning that Yu Tang and Yu Xiao had reappeared, she was so excited that she didn't sleep all day. She kept watching the video of the two at the Second Prince's engagement party on her phone, tears streaming down her face, soaking half of her pillow.
When Yu Tang and Yu Xiao arrived, they were greeted by a disheveled, swollen-eyed female boss with dark circles under her eyes.
"General Yu Tang! General Yu Xiao! What brings you here?"
"Pah, pah, pah, I should have said welcome!" The female boss blushed with excitement and quickly corrected herself, warmly welcoming them inside.
“Don’t be too surprised.” Yu Xiao had a good impression of the female boss and was very friendly. He asked, “I saw online that you’re working on a themed waterfront restaurant project. Can we be the first couple to experience it?”
"Of course, no problem!" the female boss said. "You've come at the perfect time. We just finished making it today and plan to use it officially tomorrow."
Since you want to experience it now, I'll take you there right away!
The female boss's business has been getting better and better over the years, and the restaurant's area has been expanding.
Because couples need private space, even the floating restaurants have private rooms.
Green grass and trees adorn the clear artificial lake, on which a dining area with a light-colored canopy is built. Irregular bridges crisscross the lake, adorned with small statues and light-colored railings. The dining area also features a small fountain, with robots standing by waiting for guests' instructions. Their main tasks are to serve food and play guests' favorite music or movies.
"Generals, this is our floating restaurant. There are no surveillance cameras, it's completely private, and the usual time limit for guests is two hours. But for you two, there is no time limit!"
The female owner's eyes lit up, and she bowed to the two of them, saying, "If there's anything you need, you can tell the robot. I won't be a third wheel here. Enjoy your meal!"
After saying that, he ran away in a flash, and screamed as soon as he stepped out the door, covering his face.
Sure enough, the video was correct!
The two generals have really returned!
After that, she rushed to the office and started posting like crazy to tell all the sisters this exciting news!
Looking around the private room, Yu Tang admired Yu Xiao's thoughtfulness.
"Hurry up and take off your clothes," Yu said with a smile. "Your lips are all dry."
Yu Tang nodded, took off his coat, jumped into the water, swam for a while, and then looked up to see Yu Xiao sitting on the small bridge with a fruit plate in her hand, picking up a piece of pineapple with a toothpick and offering it to his mouth.
They even treated him like a child.
"Tangtang, ah—"
Yu Tang couldn't help but laugh.
But she still obediently opened her mouth and ate the pineapple.
Yu Xiao ordered the food and watched Yu Tang swim while waiting for him to come up so he could reach out and feed him.
She would also say to Yu Tang, "Tang Tang, don't we look like a dolphin and its trainer in a water park?"
"Those dolphins are very obedient to their keepers. After eating the fish the keepers eat, they will give the keepers a kiss."
After saying that, he pouted and said, "So, Tangtang, you know what I mean."
Yu Tang found his childish behavior amusing, but did not refuse.
When the other fish fed him again, he placed his hands on the small bridge, with half of his fish tail sticking out, and kissed Yu Xiao's lips.
Yu Xiao then took out her smart bracelet, captured the moment in a photo, and set it as her screensaver.
Yu Tang returned to the water and said, "Send me the photo, I want to set it as my screensaver too."
"no problem!"
After Yu Xiao finished her operation, she looked up and found that Yu Tang's face was abnormally red.
"Xiaoxiao..." Yu Tang's breathing became rapid, her cheeks flushed, even though she was in the cold water.
He felt a burning heat all over his body, his Adam's apple bobbed, and he looked at Yu Xiao, saying, "I feel like something's not right..."
Chapter 31
The villain was resurrected for the seventh time (31)
Yu Xiao looked at him, a dark light flashing in her eyes, and said, "Tangtang, you should be in the fever stage."
As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately put down what she was holding and jumped into the water, but before she could even touch Yutang, the man dodged her.
Yu Tang looked embarrassed, his hands hidden underwater as he touched the burning scales. His throat felt like it was on fire, and he turned his head away.
"You go out first, I'll handle this myself."
He's a merman now, who knows what might happen if we do *that*?
So until he could fully maintain his human form, he was still hesitant to make love with Yu Xiao.
Yu Xiao saw through his thoughts, and without saying much, he dived underwater and forcefully pulled Yu Tang into his arms.
“No…” He gently kissed Yu Tang’s neck and said to him, “This is my duty as your lover. I cannot run away from this and watch you suffer alone.”
What the hell is this?! Deserting the battlefield!
Yu Tang was so embarrassed by that word that she refused.
"Xiaoxiao, you can't do this..."
"I am a merman, what if something unexpected happens..."
"Nothing will happen," Yu Xiao retorted, coaxing and cajoling him, "Don't worry, Tangtang, trust me..."
"Okay?"
His voice carried a soft, pleading tone, sweet and childlike, almost like he was being affectionate.
