AMRWFA -Chapter 89 Embarrassing Inner Thoughts

“Ah-choo—”

Liang Shishi’s department head, Cao Wenrui, sneezed and felt that the guy in front of him was definitely up to no good.

What did he mean by saying the people under him were good and he wanted to “borrow” one for a while? What, wasn’t the “ace” Ru Anzhi already under his command? Now he wanted to snatch someone else too?

“In your dreams,” Cao Wenrui said with a look of disgust. “Get out of here. Stop being annoying in front of me.”

“Hey, I’m serious. Look, your side’s missions are so dangerous—Liang Shishi almost got into trouble. She’s a girl, and you’re letting her carry out such risky missions…”

Cao Wenrui cut him off. “Qin Shibai, what kind of nonsense are you spouting?! Say that in front of me if you want, but if you dare say it to Liang Shishi’s face, I’ll actually respect you. Since when does our unit distinguish between men and women? If you’ve got the ability, you go up. If you don’t, you step down. We rely on skill here—no one gets to complain.”

“I’m not complaining. I’m just short on manpower. And since your Liang Shishi is on leave, I thought she could come over and rack up some merit. I’m telling you—”

“Don’t!” Cao Wenrui interrupted again. “My Liang Shishi finally got some time off—don’t bother her. We’re not short of merit; there are plenty of chances to earn it. You, just turn left and go back where you came from.”

As he spoke, he stood up, pushed Qin Shibai out the door, and slammed it shut.

Standing outside, Qin Shibai felt speechless.

He really came to deliver merit—why wouldn’t they believe him?

“Is it possible… that you’ve ‘borrowed’ people too many times, and they just don’t want to see you anymore?” one of his team members reminded him. Quite a few people in their unit had originally been “borrowed” from Cao Wenrui—and once borrowed, they never went back. No wonder the man wasn’t happy.

Qin Shibai: “…”

Can you blame me?

Who told that guy Cao to have so many capable people? If he didn’t “borrow” from him, who else could he borrow from?

Just as Liang Shishi was about to speak, she received a call from Cao Wenrui, reminding her to properly “take her leave” and strictly forbidding her from working while on vacation.

She had originally wanted to tell him about rescuing a “hostage,” but after hearing his words, she swallowed it and said nothing.

After hanging up, Ruan Yaoyao also came out from inside.

On the surface, she looked perfectly fine, but inside she was grumbling nonstop:

【How many times has this been already?】

【I’m getting more and more tied to the police station—first a false report, then reporting someone for poisoning, and now I’ve even been kidnapped…】

【My life is getting more and more exciting!】

The moment she looked up and saw Ru Anzhi, she exploded. “Third child, why are you only getting here now?! Do you even know I almost got killed because of you? That Du guy kidnapped me because of the rotten love interest you provoked!”

【Ahhhh… that gu-witch female lead—if I don’t die from her gu insects, I’ll die sooner or later because of these male cannon fodders!】

【Damn it, he’s got something wrong with his brain!】

【If my son made the female lead unhappy, go after him! Why come after me? Picking on the weak, huh?!】

“I’m cutting off our mother-son relationship!”

Ru Anzhi looked helpless. “Mom…”

“Don’t ‘Mom’ me! I’m not your mother. I didn’t even raise you—go find your real mom. From today on, you’re not allowed to call me ‘Mom’!”

“Mom, there are so many people watching. Don’t make a scene…”

“Who’s watching? Who wants to watch?” Ruan Yaoyao said, turning her head—only to find quite a few people peeking over, curious about what was happening.

Especially Liang Shishi, the “white moonlight” daughter-in-law she had just taken a liking to—she too was watching them like she was enjoying some gossip.

【Oh, right!】

【I’ve got a secret weapon!】

The moment Ruan Yaoyao saw Liang Shishi, her eyes lit up. She grabbed Ru Anzhi’s hand and dragged him over.

“She’s the one who saved your mom. A life-saving favor should be repaid with your life. I’m a woman, I can’t repay it that way—so I’ll give you instead. From now on, she’s your girlfriend.”

【Perfect—she can block your bad romances!】

【If you can be like your second brother and settle down with a proper relationship, all those rotten ones will disappear. Then I’ll take back what I said about cutting ties.】

【But if you can’t…】

Ruan Yaoyao clenched her teeth, revealing a fierce expression.

“You’d better treat her well, especially keep yourself clean and stop attracting those messy love interests. If you dare bring another one back, I’ll throw away my dignity and have your eldest and second brothers issue a public statement to cut off our relationship!”

【Kid, be smart!】

【This is your white moonlight—I found her for you and set things up this far. If you still can’t make it work, don’t blame me for turning on you.】

The others, including Old Six, were stunned.

Ru Anzhi’s mom was really bold—she dared to matchmake right on the spot?

Wasn’t she afraid the “female devil” would explode?

As for Liang Shishi—how could she explode? Ever since she could hear Ruan Yaoyao’s inner thoughts, she had already known about this plan.

It was just that now it was being said right in front of Ru Anzhi and the others.

The only thing she felt grateful for was that this “hallucination” was something only she could hear. If others could hear it too…

“Ah… Auntie, that’s not necessary, really,” Liang Shishi quickly said. “I’m a soldier. Saving people is my duty. Even if it weren’t you, I would’ve done the same…”

As for Ru Anzhi, for a brief moment—he was tempted.

A shield against bad romances? Who wouldn’t want that?

Just look at Xu Chengyan—after pretending to be a couple with Yun Jinxian, he completely got rid of Li Tingting and regained his freedom.

He wanted that too.

Unconsciously, Ru Anzhi glanced at Liang Shishi, wondering if he should talk to her privately and arrange this.

Sensing his gaze, Liang Shishi panicked.

Wait—bro, are you serious?!

Where’s your acting skill?

Didn’t we agree this “white moonlight” thing would stay between heaven, earth, you, and me? You’re not actually planning to confess, are you?!

She hadn’t felt awkward before, but now she definitely did.

Sensing her resistance, Ru Anzhi sighed inwardly, regretting the “missed opportunity.”

“Mom, stop joking. Liang Shishi and I are comrades—we still have missions to carry out together. You’re making things awkward…”

“Oh, so you remember you have missions?” Ruan Yaoyao emphasized the words “missions.” “Have you forgotten how you got those missions? Don’t you want to regain your freedom like your second brother?”

【Ahhhh… don’t tell me you actually enjoy those rotten romances.】

【If they were just emotional entanglements, fine—but they’re all like venomous snakes, biting at every turn. I can’t handle it!】

【Just listen to your mother, okay?】

【It’s just a girlfriend—and she’s your white moonlight. How great is that?】

【You’d also be saving your white moonlight. If she really ends up dying early like in the story, you’ll regret it when it’s too late.】

Ru Anzhi was about to speak again, but the moment he heard that Liang Shishi would “die young,” he couldn’t bring himself to refuse.

Wait—was his mom joking?

Liang Shishi looked perfectly fine. How could she suddenly “die early”?

He looked at her, unsure how to explain—

How about… we just pretend to date? After all, I don’t want you to die early either!
