Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“I mean, Qin Shuyi, are you okay?” Su Xuan couldn’t believe it. “Aren’t you my ex-girlfriend from a few lifetimes ago? And now you’re here asking me for dowry money?”

“I don’t want anything more than two hundred thousand yuan for the dowry and another two hundred thousand for the wedding banquet…?” Su Xuan couldn’t hide his astonishment. “Where do you get the nerve to say that to me?”

Su Xuan was truly speechless. He watched as the woman stood by his car, acting as if she were completely entitled. He couldn’t help but remember how this woman had once told his parents that they were poor and unworthy of having such a great daughter-in-law.

His temples throbbed with irritation.

“Give you one last chance, get lost!”

“Otherwise, I’ll step on the gas right now.”

Hearing this, Qin Shuyi quickly grabbed the door handle, arrogantly responding, “No, I don’t believe you! You won’t do it…”

“If you dare to accelerate, I’ll dare to hold onto your car and not let go!”

“I’d like to see what you’ll do, you lousy cop!”

Qin Shuyi was truly at her wit’s end. After her failed marriage to Gao Zaki, she had almost been forced to marry an elderly man by her parents, until she coincidentally ran into a high school classmate. She thought she had met a good person. He treated her well, took her to fancy places, and even claimed to have liked her since they were kids.

Qin Shuyi believed she could marry him. However, just three days ago, when she brought up the topic of marriage, he had ridiculed her, calling her a “cheap woman” and saying that she should be grateful if anyone wanted her, as he could have her as a mistress.

She was shocked to learn that this scumbag had been married all along and had been toying with her for the past few days.

Furious, Qin Shuyi returned home and told her parents. Instead of sympathizing with her, they urged her to marry the wealthy old man. They thought she had hooked up with a rich man and wanted to marry him. But now that it wasn’t working out, they wanted her to prepare to marry the old man.

Qin Shuyi felt like her world was collapsing. After contemplating for several days, she realized that she had to turn to Su Xuan. Su Xuan wouldn’t give up on her. Though he was a bit poor, he had treated her well. If they asked for a little less money from his family, it should be possible…

As Qin Shuyi pondered her situation, she hadn’t considered whether Su Xuan would still be waiting for her. She believed that if she changed her mind, Su Xuan would welcome her back with open arms.

When she heard Qin Shuyi exaggerating her words, the Su Xuan inside the car was left utterly bewildered. “Original host, you’re truly… unbearable!”

He decided he needed to give this woman with unrealistic ideas a reality check. Maybe he could help her see things more clearly!

“Get in the car!” Su Xuan said coldly as he unlocked the car.

Qin Shuyi was surprised that Su Xuan had actually agreed to let her in the car! She quickly moved towards the passenger seat.

However…

She found that the door wouldn’t open. Perplexed, she looked up to see Su Xuan’s stern expression as he said, “You’re no longer my girlfriend; sit in the back!”

Qin Shuyi’s face briefly showed frustration, but she quickly suppressed it. She realized that, for now, she had to comply since Su Xuan was her only hope. So, she took a seat in the back.

She retracted her hand and tried to open the back door. Just then, Su Xuan, who had prepared himself earlier, suddenly stepped on the gas pedal. Qin Shuyi was about to pull the door open when she was thrown backward.

Standing in her place, her dress billowed in the wind, and she stared in shock at Su Xuan’s car. From the driver’s seat, Su Xuan extended a hand, raising his middle finger at her before speeding away.

Qin Shuyi:…

“Ahhhhh!”

“Curse you, Su Xuan!”

“You dared to play a trick on me?!”

Not far away, Su Xuan listened to Qin Shuyi’s screams with a satisfied smirk. Well, did she really think someone would wait for her?

What a ridiculous daydream!

Should he tell her? Su Xuan had just indulged in a bit of dark humor. He knew they had already broken up, and she had betrayed the previous Su Xuan by seeking out a wealthy man. Now that the wealthy man was gone, she was trying to come back to the original host. Did she truly believe he was a gullible person? Such actions would even make an honest person explode in anger.

He admitted that his previous actions were deliberate. When he allowed the other person to enter the car, it was a ruse to make Qin Shuyi let go of his hand.

However, when the person moved from the driver’s seat to the passenger seat, Su Xuan could have driven away. But he chose not to. He waited for the moment when the person moved from the passenger seat to the back seat. He wanted to convey a message: “My passenger seat, you don’t deserve it!”

Sigh, it felt good!

Whatever this woman had in mind, she could forget about involving him again.

After a full day of work in the countryside, Su Xuan returned home and didn’t feel like moving at all. He sprawled out and slept until the next morning.

When he arrived at the police office the next day and saw his cleared desk, he felt relieved. Other police officers around him noticed his relaxed demeanor and started teasing him, especially his close friend Zhou Qiang.

“I have to say, Su Xuan, your relief is written all over your face!” Zhou Qiang chuckled. “Hurry up and change your expression!”

This banter caused the nearby officers to roll their eyes.

“Yeah, like you didn’t look like that when you came in yesterday,” one of them said. “Who knew who you were? You came in with a gloomy face and nearly jumped when you saw there was nothing on your desk.”

Facing their teasing, Zhou Qiang didn’t feel embarrassed at all. “Of course!” he boasted. “Even if I’m the pot calling the kettle black, at least I’m the pot. Besides, Su Xuan and I are different. He’s been working as a detective at the city bureau for so long, and after barely taking a break, he stumbled upon Zhou Hao’s case. He hasn’t had a proper rest in a long time. How many days have I worked in a row?”

Upon hearing this, the colleagues who had been teasing him immediately fell silent. They glanced at Su Xuan, who had been lying on the table without moving for a while, and thought there might be some truth to it. Compared to Zhou Qiang, Su Xuan seemed a bit more fatigued.

“Hahaha, the capable ones have more to do!” one colleague chimed in. “At least you guys don’t have to patrol today. Did you see the team next door? They just started their shift and were sent out for patrol by Old Mai…”

“Tsks, that poor guy. His face looked so miserable!” another colleague added, clearly reveling in the misfortune of others.

The voices of his colleagues echoed around him, tinged with a hint of schadenfreude. Su Xuan took a deep breath. He couldn’t argue with the fact that some had it worse than him. It seemed he wasn’t as unfortunate as he had thought.

Over the past month, Su Xuan had learned about the differences between this world and his own. In his previous life, police officers mainly stayed at the police station, occasionally going on foot patrols with auxiliary officers on holidays. Their work was typically conducted within the station, except when they had to respond to various cases.

But this world was different. Here, police officers were required to patrol, and their duties were divided into shifts. Su Xuan and Zhou Qiang were temporarily exempt from patrol duty due to their recent successful case closure, but after this week, they would be back on patrol duty.

Su Xuan was actually looking forward to it.. Patrol duty was one of his sources of points!
