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

"Are you okay?" She asked, her voice breaking in the middle. And then her eyes moved to the complex lock on the door. It wasn't a simple doorknob; it was automated and highly modified, just like the one she had in her apartment. With that kind of lock, even if she keyed in the proper passcode, anyone from the control room could also render it invalid. "Huangjin, get away from the door, I'm gunning it down."


"What?" She ignored his remark and stepped back to aim for it.


But then she heard a voice croak out nearby.


"D-door…" Ying Yue turned to the man she'd shot a while ago, who was sitting on the floor, exhausted with the continuing blood loss even as he was applying pressure to his hand. His face was pale and sweaty, and he looked at her with tired eyes. She felt no remorse for this man, so if he was trying to plead for his life, she had no time to listen to it—"The door… it's bulletproof."


Ying Yue lowered her gun, and she bit her lip as she drew close to the door, frustrated to find a few dents on it. "No…" She whispered.


"Ying Yue, it's okay. You have to leave." Said Fei Huangjin from behind the door.


But there was no chance in hell she was going to leave him here to die. Her head whipped to the bleeding man near her. "The passcode. What's the passcode?"


He replied with a shake of his head. "Only… only the master knows."


"Then where is your f*cking master?" she demanded.


Ying Yue reflexively turned her gun towards the source of that answer and her lips parted slightly when Song Yinan's face came into view. She hadn't seen him after that incident with the Jade Circle, and they'd failed to find him after that. He looked thinner and his eyes had lost that liveliness in them when she first met him, and yet for some odd reason, he seemed more imposing than before. Behind him followed Su Jianjun and a few other security personnel.


She frowned. There was something definitely wrong here. And on top of everything else, since they were at the basement, she had lost contact with Juyan yet again.


"Brother?" Her eyes darted cautiously from Song Yinan to Su Jianjun's grinning face and back to Song Yinan again. "What are you doing?"


It was Su Jianjun who stepped closer and clicked his tongue at her. "Oh Miss Ying, I didn't know you were so rude. Didn't you miss your brother at all? Is that the first thing you want to say to him after he disappeared?" She flinched and pointed her gun at Su Jianjun's head. He only laughed aloud, seemingly enjoying the moment both as a spectator and as the oil to the burning flames. "Oh, you. Don't shoot the broker!"


Song Yinan, on the other hand, didn't appear fazed by the exchange of words. In fact, his expression remained dull and lifeless.


"Brother Yinan," she called out to him, "I looked for you. What happened? I don't understand what's happening right now."


His eyes slowly turned to her, and then unexpectedly, a bitter voice came out from his lips. "Don't call me brother, Miss Ying. You have no right to."


And at that moment, Ying Yue felt her jaw become slack and her hands shake slightly. What happened to Song Yinan? She didn't understand anything right now.


Song Yinan stepped closer and Ying Yue alternated her gun between Song Yinan and Su Jianjun, to which the latter reacted to with a taunting laugh. Her brother eyed her with a sneer. "First you leave me to die and now you want to shoot me now? Is that how it works with you?"


What was he saying? She frowned. "Do you mean the incident? I had people come back for you, but you weren't there anymore. I searched everywhere for you."


He ignored her and stepped towards the door to Fei Huangjin's cell and he put his thumbprint against the lock panel. In a split second, it clicked open, and he stepped inside.


Right here
