Six years after her brother was killed, Ying Yue finally became the top spy agent at Juyan Intelligence Agency. She leads a double life: a secretary by day, and a spy at night. 
However, after accidentally protecting her CEO boss on a shoot out, he suddenly has his eyes set on taking her as his wife!

*****

It was Ying Yue who broke the tension with a light laugh. "I'm sorry Mr. Fei, I know I might sound absurd, but it sounded like you wanted to actually, really, be in a relationship with me."

"It is not absurd." He cocked his head to one side. "I find you smart and attractive, and trust me, I do not remember being attracted to anyone else."

Ying Yue's calm façade broke. She frowned, unable to understand what was going inside the brain of the great Fei Huangjin. She used to admire the man, but now she couldn't help wondering if the incident last night made him crazy. "Mr. Fei, I implore you not to make fun of me like this."
 
"I'm not joking."
 
"Yes, you are." She insisted.

"Go on a date with me."

"No."

"And call me Huangjin."

"I will not, Mr. Fei!" Her voice had already inched a notch higher. 

"Why not?"

My Wife is a Spy

Fei Huangjin led Ying Yue to the car with big strides, and if it wasn't for the fact that Ying Yue had trained herself to run in heels, she would have tripped and fallen over after the first few steps with him. 


Although Fei Huangjin was furious, he was still a gentleman. He opened the car door for her and ushered her in, albeit a little too aggressive for her liking. 


He dropped off the groceries in the back seat, circling the car until he got in the driver's seat with a slam of the door. Admittedly, the incident in the supermarket made him undeniably furious. He was bending over back to please this woman beside him and yet all she did was make fun of him. A man had his limits, too. 


Ying Yue glanced at Fei Huangjin several times, chewing her bottom lip until the lipstick she applied had worn completely off and what was left was the natural pale pink color of her lips. Hints of guilt flashed several times within her bright cherry blossom eyes as she wondered if perhaps, she went just a tiny step too far. 


She stole another glance at Fei Huangjin, but the man was appearing too focused on his driving. His brows were drawn together and his demeanor was cold and tense. Just by the faint ticking of his jaw, she could already sense that he was gritting his teeth to hold himself together. 


A stronger wave of guilt crashed into her aimlessly, and she was undecided on whether or not to say anything. 


After pondering it for a bit, she felt that perhaps it was a bad idea to carelessly announce something like that in public. It would be bad for his reputation if anyone recognized him in there.


"I'm sorry. I got carried away earlier." She pursed her lips, hesitantly peeking at Fei Huangjin with her eyes wide. She wasn't trying to act coy, and she found herself legitimately wanting to apologize to him. 


Fei Huangjin ignored her and didn't even bother glancing in her direction. 


That's it. You've done it Ying Yue, she thought. He was that one man who was giving her the most protection from Jade Circle, doing his best on being a boyfriend, and she just had to go and infuriate him. Well done. 


"We'll talk when we get home." Fei Huangjin said with a stern face. 


Since he refused to talk, she had no desire to pursue the topic and she looked out the window with a pout. The car was silent after that. 


The drive to Fei Huangjin's home in Majestic Gardens only took half an hour. The gated community was where a lot of the rich people in S city lived, since it was situated in a prime location in the city and the security was top notch.  


Ying Yue sat up from her seat. The further in they went, the more beautiful and the wider the space was from one house to the next. All the houses were designed to be aesthetically pleasing to the eye, and they rivaled each other in beauty, luxury, and functionality.


His eyes drifted to Ying Yue, who was looking around her with awe that was obvious across her face. For a moment, she looked different from the Ying Yue he knew. She looked almost child-like. Her amorous cherry blossom eyes were shining as she took in the environment with a small smile. Majestic Gardens was truly a representation of its name. It was like a large, glorious garden filled with the prettiest things in the world. 


Fei Huangjin took a turn to his house, which was a present for him from his father when he finally became of age. As he requested from the architect back then, he wanted something modern but classic at the same time, and nothing too luxurious. The result was a four-bedroom house, with 3 bathrooms, a gym, and a large study for his use. Additionally, Fei Haocheng's house was actually nearby.


Ying Yue's eyes widened, and a dimple appeared on her left cheek. 


Fei Huangjin's expression eased up a little, but subsequently, his face turned dark and dull again.
