My Beautiful Love

On Tuesday night, Lu Shaoting already had a couple of spy cameras programmed to his liking and two listening devices. He would have used the already existing ones but he was just being cautious. His and his brother's laptops were connected and consequently, so were everything they created together. It would be troublesome if those cameras recorded something and sent it to both his and his brother's laptops.

"Ready?" Wan Jia asked him.

"Uh huh. Just so you know it, I'm only helping you this once. If you seek me out again, I will not be on your side no matter what you threaten me with."

Wan Jia giggled on the other side. "Can you not be a coward? It's just this once." For assurance, she asked. "General Yun is still in City H, right?"

"Yup, and so is Madam Yun."

She could not help but ask, "How do you get such information anyway?"

Lu Shaoting laughed. "That's not important. Go to sleep now. We invade the Yun mansion at nine o'clock."

When he was done speaking to Wan Jia, his brother called. It was even a video call. For some reason, Lu Shaoting had a bad feeling.

"Bro."

Lu Aotian, as usual, did not waste his words. "I have a feeling you two are up to something."

Lu Shaoting laughed. "What could we possibly be up to? We are the cutest and most obedient children, alright?" Just as he finished his statement, he saw his brother's suffocating glare. Wuuu...no wonder that monster had decided to video call him! He looked scary...

"That...bro...I promised sister-in-law not to reveal anything but we are brothers. Heh..." He scratched his head and found a perfect excuse. "Your birthday is not many days away, right? Sister-in-law is preparing a surprise for you. She told me not to tell you about it."

Lu Aotian looked at him sternly. "That's fourty two days later. Do you think I'm easy to fool?"

Lu Shaoting stuttered. "It's a big surprise. You can ask sister-in-law...but if you do, she will be mad at me. Bro, I'm not talking to you anymore. I already broke a promise." When Lu Aotian hung up, he sighed in relief.

...

In country F.

Lu Aotian hung up the call with his brother but was not in the least convinced.

"President, Your meeting with M. Blanc starts in thirty minutes." reported his assistant.

"Cancel it. Book the next flight back home." He would apologize to Mr. Blanc later. If he didn't go home now, those naughty kids might really be up to something.

"President, the next flight leaves at 4pm. We only have one hour to get to the airport."

"Then hurry up. What are you waiting for?"

...

The next morning, the two troublemakers who were unaware that Lu Aotian's plane would land in less than one hour went ahead with their plans.

At 8:30 am, Yun Xuan was already in the agreed restaurant, waiting for Wan Jia.

"Wanwan!" she was pleasantly surprised when she saw Wan Jia. She had thought that it was just a prank and Wan Jia would never meet her.

"You're here." For the first time in ages, Wan Jia smiled at her. "What do you want to eat or drink? You can order anything. It's my treat."

"Then I will not be too polite. I'll drink arctic iced tea."

Wan Jia looked at her in surprise. "Aren't you allergic to lemons?"

Yun Xuan laughed. "You actually believed Old Two's bullsh*t? He only lied to you about it to prove that you are not me. I just don't like having too much of it. That's why you have never seen me have any."

"Oh." Wan Jia did not dwell too much on it. It happened years ago anyway. Halfway though her drink, Yun Xuan noticed that there was no one else in the restaurant and that Wan Jia was looking at her with a complicated gaze.

"Wanwan, What's going on?"

"Don't be scared, Yun Xuan. What, you think I would actually hurt you?"

Yun Xuan trembled. "Why am I feeling sleepy? What did you put in my drink?"

Wan Jia snatched the phone that Yun Xuan was trying to take out.

"Thank you. Could you help me unlock it?" She took Yun Xuan's weak hand and used her fingerprints to unlock the phone.

"I may need to borrow something else from you." Then, she called the waiter and he helped her take Yun Xuan to a safe room. "She'll be okay, right?"

"You can be rest assured."

"Okay." She sent the waiter away and swapped clothes with Yun Xuan. She had even brought over a blonde wig, make up and contact lenses.

When she left the restaurant, she was so much like Yun Xuan that even her own mother may not recognize her as Wan Jia.

When she was near the Yun mansion, she used Yun Xuan's phone to chat with Yun Jifeng.

[Where are you?]

[At home.]

[Come to my studio. I have something to talk to you about.]

[How was your meeting with Wan Jia? Did you bury the hatchet?]

[Let's talk about it in my studio.]

[Okay.]

She sighed in relief. The troublesome brother had been distracted.

Next, she put Lu Shaoting's listening device in her ear, covered it with the wig and sent him a text [I've dealt with Yun Jifeng.]

Lu Shaoting replied with an [Ok.]

It was just getting a DNA sample. Why did it feel like a spy adventure?
