Chapter 256 – The Hard-working Cop Soo Yunru
Yunru was completely speechless. To think that she came thinking about her rival…
The glow on Zizi's face was unmistakable now. "I am now relieved. You cannot say anything about a woman these days. Who knows that she might be a hungry beast trying to pounce upon good men?"
"Like you?" He sneered.
She gritted her teeth. "I am your fiance! I have every right to pounce upon you!"
Suddenly, she realized the meaning behind the words and she blushed.
He was speechless. "Why are you blushing?"
"Be-because you made me say such embarrassing words!"
"NOW, you are feeling shy after putting a ring on my finger, declaring me as your fiance and smoothly flirting with me all this time? Do you even know what being shy means?"
"What do you mean? I am a woman. Of course, I will feel shy."
"Are you really a woman? Why do I think that you are some different species altogether?" He narrowed his eyes.
Fury burned in her chest as she shot laser beams towards him. "You! You should appreciate that you have got such a beautiful and lovely fiance!"
Yunru smiled. "By the way, I should clear your misconception. I am not your fiance yet because you are yet to win my heart. Currently, you are chasing me if I may remind you."
Zizi cleared her throat. "But you never denied it in front of anybody!"
"To keep your face," he chuckled. "I have a big heart, you know."
Her brow twitched.
"You are mean!"
He rolled his eyes. "Thank you for your bouquet. Now, I have tons of work to do."
"Are you throwing me out?"
"What do you think?"
Zizi stomped her foot and dragged a chair. She sat on it with her legs crossed and folded her arms. "I won't! I want to see my fiance at work."
Yunru said, "What will you do? You will just feel bored here."
She smiled. "I will never feel bored if I have to see my handsome fiance working hard. Women like to see hard-working men."
"…Suit yourself then."
And so for the first time, Zizi saw up close how officers worked in a police station. He had tons of files and findings to go through, question the witnesses in custody and investigate the truth behind their words. He also went for patrol, to which she happily accompanied him. He even caught two offenders that went completely unnoticed by her.
Today, she learned how everybody respected Yunru and relied on him. The more she saw how hard Yunru worked, the more love grew in her heart for him. He was truly a capable man. The mountainous work that had piled in front of him was quickly sorted out in just a few hours. Everybody in the area knew Soo Yunru – from an elementary school-going kid to the elders and who loved him the most.
Once again, he had forgotten to have his lunch but because Zizi was there today, she forced him out of his work and fed him until he ate the last bite. She even forced him to take a thirty minutes nap to rest.
Finally, at the end of the day, Zizi had to bow before him. "Are you a God? How did you do this? I almost fainted seeing the pile of work."
Even though she did nothing much to help, she felt incredibly tired for some reason.
How tired Yunru might be?
He chuckled. "Didn't you see me working the whole day?"
"I did but it still sounds unbelievable. How can you work so hard and not get tired?"
"Everybody works hard, Princess. Brother-in-law sheds his sweat at the company too."
She was in deep thought. "I think being a cop is more difficult and demanding."
"And people who sign up to become cops are ready for this life. We have only one mission and that is to protect the citizens of this country," he smiled.
Ahhhh, he is so handsome!!
She internally fan-girled over him.
"Yunru. Chief is calling."
"Yup. I am coming."
He glanced at her. "I will be back."
"En."
Zizi looked around his desk and seeing how the files were a little messy, she thought about neatly arranging them in a stack.
As she handled all the files, an envelope slipped from her hands. She stuck her tongue out.
As she read Yunru's name on the papers that came out of it, she realized that it was actually his compensation letter. In other words, it was his salary statement. She immediately looked away and coughed.
Men don't like their salary to be known, right?
Zizi thought about it. She thought about the last few hours and seeing Yunru give it his all, she wondered…
Is Yunru even getting the right salary for working so hard?
She bit her lip and peeked at the papers. She apologized to Yunru in her mind. Her jaw dropped wide open in shock as she read the statement.
When Yunru entered and saw Zizi reading a bunch of papers, he rolled his eyes. "It's bad manners to peek, Princess."
Zizi looked at him in disbelief. "Forget about my manners here. What the hell is with this figure!? Did you get such a low salary?"
Yunru said, "Well, that is the average salary any police officer gets here."
"Which is wrong! This amount is not proportional to the effort you put in at all! Who the hell decided this?"
He chuckled and flicked her forehead. "You don't have to worry about these things, Princess."
"But-"
"Anyway. It's getting late. I will drop you home."
Saying that, he put a paper on the desk.
"What is this?" She asked.
"Hm? Oh, the Chief asked me to attend a National Conference for Peace and Protection in Shanghai."
"So you will be away?" She asked.
"Yup. For a day or two maybe."
Zizi blinked her eyes and then a thought struck her. "Can I come with you too!?"
"What?"
She gleamed. "Yes! I will accompany you to your conference!"
