My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!-Chapter 214 - 120: Unleashing Ultimate at Point-Blank, Facing the Wife’s Wrath
Song Residence, Li Nuo touched his face and said, "This is makeup for an undercover mission, I forgot to wash it off."
Song Jiaren nodded slightly, her gaze shifting away from his face, and asked, "Undercover?"
Li Nuo asked in confusion, "Didn’t Housekeeper Wu tell you?"
Song Jiaren said, "He said you had important matters and wouldn’t be home for a few days."
Li Nuo washed his face and said, "I’ve been undercover in an organization these past few days, the largest thief organization in Chang’an. We’ve captured them all in one swoop, all the high-ranking members have been arrested, and the city’s public order should be much better from now on..."
Song Jiaren looked at his somewhat tired face and said nothing, only adding, "It’s getting late, you should freshen up and rest early."
Li Nuo took a bath, changed into his pajamas, and lay on his soft bed surrounded by a familiar, delicate fragrance.
It’s indeed comfortable in one’s own bed, fragrant and soft, and importantly, the wife is right beside him.
It’s the real wife who treats him well.
Not like the fake wife, who would only let him sleep on the floor.
As soon as his head touched the pillow, he was overwhelmed by an endless weariness.
Song Jiaren glanced at him, but when she closed her eyes again, she suddenly lost the urge to sleep.
In her mind, she was filled with the image of a loving couple.
That was a side of him she had never seen before.
For a moment, her mind was flooded with thoughts, and her desire to sleep faded.
The night deepened, some struggled to sleep, others were startled awake from pleasant dreams.
It was past curfew, and figures appeared in various wards and markets of Chang’an.
"Open up!"
"The Ministry of Justice is on a case, clear out all irrelevant persons!"
"Open the door, or don’t blame us for being impolite!"
...
Countless citizens of Chang’an peered through windows and door cracks, watching in shock and fear as their neighbors were taken away by the government, dreading that knock on their own door.
Those with a bit more courage, after asking about it, were even more incredulous.
The neighbor they had lived with for over a decade was actually a habitual thief?
They had never noticed it over the years.
No wonder they were living an increasingly better life without any apparent legitimate occupation. Many had begun to take stock of the silver and property they had lost over the years, planning to go to the government the next day to report the crime, hoping for some compensation...
Many stewards and sect members of the Thief Sect were still in their dreams when government officers broke in and captured them on the spot.
Similar scenes unfolded in different parts of Chang’an.
Except for the areas where the nobles lived, Chang’an bustled throughout the night, and Li Nuo, sleeping in the Song Residence, was unaware of it all.
As soon as it was light, he opened his eyes.
He habitually nudged the woman beside him, saying, "Wife, it’s time to get up and buy groceries..."
Waking up early each day allowed one to buy the freshest vegetables.
If you went too late, only a pile of wilted leaves would be left.
The Song Yu couple had always had the habit of getting up early to buy groceries.
Song Jiaren was still in her dreams, opened her eyes with a confused look, and stared at him.
Li Nuo sat up from the bed, looked around, then back at his bemused wife, and instantly became mostly awake, saying subconsciously, "Sorry, I got the wrong person..."
He thought the woman sleeping in the bed was another wife.
No, that was no longer the case.
After last night, she had become the noble Princess again, and he was no longer the petty thief Song Yu.
The past few days seemed like a dream.
An incredibly real dream.
Li Nuo decided to sleep a bit longer to clear his mental cache.
Before closing his eyes, he took a longer look at his wife, trying to deepen her memory in his mind, lest all he remembered was Li Anning.
He slept very peacefully and had no dreams, and when Li Nuo opened his eyes again, there was no one beside him.
He stretched and walked out of the room. There, he saw his wife teaching Mumu martial arts, with Li Anning standing by and watching. Li Nuo’s gaze drifted toward her and he blurted out, "Wife, why are you..."
Li Anning’s gaze naturally met his.
Song Jiaren put away her sword, her gaze also shifted to Li Nuo, but she noted that Li Nuo wasn’t looking at her.
After a brief silence, Li Nuo coughed lightly, looked towards Song Jiaren, and said, "Wife…, the Princess came over, why didn’t you call for me?"
Song Jiaren did not speak, and Li Anning intervened, "It was I who told them not to wake you. You’ve been through a lot these days to take down the Thief Sect, it’s better for you to sleep a bit more."
Speaking of the Thief Sect, Li Nuo immediately asked, "How is the Thief Sect now?"
Li Anning said, "Everything proceeded as we planned. Once the chiefs of the Thief Sect reached the Ministry of Justice, they confessed to everything. Last night, the Chang’an County Government, the Ministry of Justice, and the Dali Temple acted together, arresting two envoys of the Thief Sect, four protectors, fifteen chiefs, forty-eight stewards, and over four hundred ordinary sect members... These people have all been detained, and a few who escaped the net are being pursued."
