My wife is a magical girl, how can I be the villain?

Tang Ming, having been caught red-handed, didn't say another word. He obediently carried Hua Lingyou and the goods for several kilometers along the rough road, returning to the stronghold left by the organization.

Abandoned gas stations along deserted roads, their factory buildings serving as their base. The organization has bases throughout the city to facilitate hiding and relocation after operations.

For example, gas stations, factories, detached houses, any place that doesn't seem unusual could be used as a base.

Vehicles and supplies were all available.

The iron gate was pushed open with a clang, and Tang Ming dropped the box he was holding.

"Children! I'm home!"

Tang Ming squatted down, Hua Lingyou hooked her feet into her shoes, then loosened her grip on his neck, looked at the empty factory and let out a long sigh, seemingly shouting to someone.

"The car I left behind six months ago should still be in good condition."

"You're choking me to death..."

"Your first words after a beautiful girl gets intimate with you?!"

"Senior, isn't it a bit... a bit much to call a girl like that?"

Hua Lingyou scoffed, "Those old monsters might be even older than me, but they're still called magical girls."

Hua Lingyou felt a bit bored. This junior was too serious, unlike Xiao Zhang, who could banter back and forth for an entire afternoon.

Hua Lingyou walked to the car, wiped the body clean, and found there wasn't much dust. She got in, started the engine, and checked the battery—thankfully it wasn't damaged, and the fuel gauge showed enough power.

"Old gasoline cars are still the best. Electric cars these days break down after a year or two," Hua Lingyou sighed, stroking the steering wheel.

"No one would leave a car unused for this long, would they? Any car would break down if it stayed idle for that long," Tang Ming said noncommittally.

"It's different. Machines are always reliable. You can see and touch them, and they're as easy to use as your own limbs... Young man, you don't understand." Hua Lingyou adopted an air of condescension.

Tang Ming checked the tires around the car, then loaded everything onto the vehicle, sat in the passenger seat, and urged Hua Lingyou to set off.

"Let's go, I still have some things to take care of."

Hua Lingyou turned her head suspiciously. "It's a workday today, is there anything else you need?"

Tang Ming, of course, wouldn't say that he was looking for a place to store that pile of magical mediums. He paused for a moment, then said, "I need to pick up an acquaintance."

It sounded like a flimsy excuse, but Hua Lingyou didn't ask any further questions about things outside of work.

After the car drove out of the factory, Tang Ming locked the gate, checked it again, and then the two of them got in the car and left this remote area.

An old-fashioned muscle car drove along the winding highway, its bright red paint standing out starkly against the sea of ​​black and white cars on the road.

Hua Lingyou adjusted the knob, and when she heard her favorite song playing, she turned to look at Tang Ming.

"I'll drop these off at the subway station later. I need to go back to the company to hand over these things. Are you carrying the suitcase?"

"Huh? Take it." Tang Ming was stunned for a moment, then nodded when he came to his senses.

"You seem distracted?" Hua Lingyou suddenly laughed.

"It hasn't even been a month, and you're already this worried about the company? Don't worry, no matter what the [New Humans] are up to, the boss has definitely made preparations. These people were all invited by him."

Tang Ming was pondering the feasibility of keeping a magical medium at home when Hua Lingyou interrupted him. He shook his head and casually replied:

"Of course I'm not worried. I've been training for less than a month, and these followers are already no match for me. Besides, you guys are here too."

"That makes sense. Their understanding of coexisting with heterogeneous entities can never compare to ours," Hua Lingyou said with a hint of pride.

"But... I've kind of forgotten what to say." Tang Ming frowned, then pursed his lips helplessly.

"Don't overthink it! What you need to do now is work hard and evolve your alien ability as soon as possible to increase your strength. I'll train with you again when I have time. The magical girls have their eyes on us. You are the weakest one, and it will be very dangerous once the war starts."

Hua Lingyou looked at him earnestly and said.

"Okay, senior, please watch the road..." Tang Ming pointed ahead, half of the car body had already deviated from the dotted line, and Hua Lingyou quickly turned the steering wheel back.

"You're interrupting again... By the way, don't take it to heart that you carried me earlier. My foot really hurts terribly. Don't have any unfounded misunderstandings. People at the company have been misunderstanding me a lot, which really affects my work efficiency."

"..."

Who asked you?

Tang Ming was somewhat surprised that Hua Lingyou was so direct in bringing up what had just happened. Wasn't she afraid that he would be seen as a simp and thus suffer a severe "blow" to his former self?

"Senior...you're really shameless..." After he finished commenting, he secretly observed whether Hua Lingyou was angry, and sure enough...

"What did you say?!" Hua Lingyou's eyes widened. "Aren't you afraid of getting fired for mocking your boss like that? What do you mean by shameless?!"

"Wouldn't it be a huge loss for the organization to fire me now?" Tang Ming chuckled. "Besides, even a blind man could see you like the boss. I'm a married man, so please stop testing me..."

"Uh..." Hua Lingyou was speechless for a moment. She had only meant to tease her junior who always looked serious, but she didn't expect him to be such a closet pervert who suddenly retorted without saying a word.

"You...you figured it out? Damn! I thought you were so innocent. Did you think I was some kind of clown before? Deliberately flirting with a junior, trying to hook you up?"

Hua Lingyou has always been bold and straightforward. Although she was a little embarrassed, she went straight up to Tang Ming and asked him curiously.

"Hehe, I won't comment... This job is quite important to me."

Tang Ming waved his hand, unsure whether Hua Lingyou was deliberately changing the subject or something, but he wasn't going to be foolish enough to answer seriously.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the senior doesn't seem angry. The two are quite familiar with each other, but if he steps on a landmine, who knows, he might secretly transform and cut him in half one day.

In this world, human life is as cheap as a feather; even if someone dies, there's nowhere to report it.

"Tch! Never mind, I'm just curious about what kind of person Xiao Zhang chose, since you've been married for three years at such a young age."

"I wonder if he's a model husband or just a sanctimonious fool who'll take the bait easily..." Hua Lingyou chuckled. "Don't worry about it, I'm a few years older than you... and I've never been in a relationship before, so I'm a little curious."

Tang Ming didn't respond. He increasingly felt that his senior had some mental issues, and at this point, he should just keep smiling and wait to get off the bus.

The rest of the journey consisted of Hua Lingyou constantly recounting her first impression of him. Initially, she was somewhat dissatisfied that Xiao Zhang valued him but then dumped the task of leading the men on her, which was why she would tease Tang Ming from time to time. She then proceeded to give Xiao Zhang a good scolding, even diverting attention to Zeng Que.

Tang Ming maintained an awkward yet polite smile, knowing it was best to forget about the leaders' disputes as soon as they were heard.

Finally back in the city, the subway station entrance appeared on the right side of the road. Hua Lingyou turned the steering wheel and the car slowly stopped at the side of the road.

Tang Ming unbuckled his seatbelt, turned around, reached into the back seat to pick up his suitcase, and then opened the car door.

Hua Lingyou watched him close the car door, and as he was about to wave goodbye, she spoke:

"You're speculating about what happened between me and the boss... don't tell anyone, and don't guess the details, remember that!"

Tang Ming thought the other party was deliberately avoiding the topic and was prepared to let it go, but he didn't expect them to give him another "warning." He smiled and nodded.

"Don't worry, senior, I understand. It's all just speculation."

"You don't know anything... You do know, but don't say anything, I don't want others to suspect anything."

Hua Lingyou gave a bewildered explanation, then realized she had rambled on and acted foolishly. She rolled up the car window, and before she could finish speaking, the car sped away.

Tang Ming scratched his forehead, chuckled softly, and turned to walk into the subway station with a sigh. He had absolutely no interest in Hua Lingyou's affairs, but who knew she would start rambling on and on like this from the very beginning.

His mind was completely occupied with the magical items and the question of Lin Ruoyu's origins; he had no time to care about his boss's affairs after work.

Tang Ming swiped his card to enter the station. Seeing that the metal box looked completely normal under the scanning machine, he pursed his lips and looked at the route map. Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

"Line 4...it's only two stops from Fangzhou University, maybe I can go and visit her."
