Mr. Melancholy Wants To Live A Peaceful Life

CHAPTER 31

When they had finished dinner and Yu Hua had cleaned the kitchen, he went to the sofa to watch TV. The weather forecast had just ended. He turned on the internet TV and chose to watch Deception from Love. This was a story about the female main character's husband cheating on her and seizing control of her family fortune. The female main character was in the dark about it for the first couple of dozen episodes, and in the latter couple of dozen episodes she got revenge.

You Zhengping, who had been indolently leaning on Yu Hua's shoulder playing a game: "..."

He switched to lying down, slipping from Yu Hua's shoulder to his lap. With his head pillowed on Yu Hua's sturdy thighs, he absent-mindedly kept playing. As he played, You Zhengping snuck glances at Yu Hua's expression, seeing him studiously watching the drama with a grave expression, all but taking notes.

When Yu Hua saw that the female main character's husband was not only cheating, but also plotting to steal her family fortune along with his mistress, he subconsciously stroked You Zhengping's hair.

You Zhengping couldn't keep playing. He cast aside his teammates, dropped his phone, and rubbed his head against Yu Hua's lap. He put his arms around his husband's waist, planning to bring the jealousy issue out into the open.

Feeling Xiao You hug him, Yu Hua paused the TV, bent his head, and lowered his gaze to look at his husband. His eyes were full of tender emotion. While the atmosphere was ripening, You Zhengping's phone rang. Yu Hua picked it up and, after a glance, passed it to You Zhengping. When he took it, You Zhengping's mind buzzed. The call was from Cen Xiao.

It's eight in the evening, a time when a bit of something might happen between a married couple, and you're calling me? Weren't you taking Zhen Li home to indirectly probe the enemy?

You Zhengping cursed inwardly, but he was worried that Cen Xiao and Zhen Li had run into a new Destroyer, so he quickly picked up the phone. When he heard what Cen Xiao had to say, his face instantly turned green.

"What's wrong?" Yu Hua asked, seeing his husband's expression.

"Cen Xiao...took a passenger on his police-issued motor scooter, and, as a police employee, he violated the Xuyang District Traffic Rules and Regulations. He not only had a passenger, the passenger was injured, so the situation is serious. A fine alone isn't enough to express the government's condemnation. The two of them have been taken by the traffic police to sign letters of admonition," You Zhengping said.

"Carrying an injured passenger?" Yu Hua asked, frowning.

"It's your boss, Zhen Li," You Zhengping said.  As he spoke, Yu Hua's phone also ran. He looked—of course it was Zhen Li.

"Great...Director Yu, I'm with the traffic police," Zhen Li said.

"You're an adult. You have a duty and an obligation to be responsible for your own conduct. When you sign the letter of admonition and pay the fine, they'll let you go. Why did you call me?" Yu Hua didn't stand on any ceremony with his boss.

"That's not it," Zhen Li said quietly. "When we were arrested, someone filmed it and posted it online, and now some fans are squatting at the traffic police's door, waiting for me to come out so they can film me. Won't this impact my ability to earn money later?"

Yu Hua: "..."

On the other end, Cen Xiao said to You Zhengping, "I'm a police employee, the traffic police say they need to see my superior."

You Zhengping: "..."

Oh, yes, when they had changed professions, he had taken on the rank of the captain of the auxiliary police squad. He and Cen Xiao were police officers. Like the traffic police, they belonged to the police bureau's inner organization. They were colleagues. But the organization wasn't the same.
