After Yun Shunnian put the bowls and chopsticks into the dishwasher, she subconsciously returned to the bedroom.
By the time Yun Shunnian realized, she instinctively wanted to leave again, but Mu Qi grabbed her wrist.
"Why are you doing this? What did I do wrong?" Mu Qi shook the iron chain on his hand.
"You know yourself." Yun Shunnian wanted to leave as soon as she finished speaking, but Mu Qi directly pulled her into his arms.
Mu Qi: "Is it because I went out last night?"
"Hmph." Yun Shunnian turned her head away, clearly not wanting to say anything more to Mu Qi.
Seeing Yun Shunnian's reaction, Mu Qi knew he had guessed correctly.
Mu Qi opened his lips to explain, but paused as soon as he started.
Niannian's reaction proved that she cared about him.
Thinking of this, Mu Qi suddenly didn't want to explain anymore.
He wished Niannian could always care about him like this.
"Niannian." Mu Qi snuggled into Yun Shunnian's neck, his voice gentle and lingering.
Mu Qi's reaction in Yun Shunnian's eyes was that of a scumbag begging for mercy.
Yun Shunnian raised her hand to push Mu Qi away, but after placing her hand on his shoulder, she hesitated for a long time before pushing him.
After a while, Yun Shunnian hugged Mu Qi's waist instead.
It's quite well-behaved like this, isn't it?

"Yu Sheng, how did you get the key to my villa?"
After Yu Sheng returned in a hurry, Ling Xue poured him a glass of water and then took out the key from the door.
Ling Xue was not surprised that the security guard would let Yu Sheng in.
After all, Yu Sheng had come almost every day before, so it wasn't strange that he became familiar with the security guards.
It was just this key...
Ling Xue lowered her eyes and glanced at the little fox carved on the key handle, feeling a bit strange.
"I... I..." As Ling Xue spoke, Yu Sheng's face turned red, and his eyes darted away, afraid to meet Ling Xue's gaze.
Seeing this, Ling Xue guessed:
"You found out I was missing?"
Yu Sheng nodded.
"You came in to confirm?"
Yu Sheng nodded again.
"Then this fox?" Ling Xue pointed to the fox pattern on the key again.
"This fox is what I saw in my dream." Yu Sheng said, a hint of shyness on his face.
"Oh."
Ling Xue looked at Yu Sheng, then at the fox on the table, and felt something was strange.
She just couldn't pinpoint what was strange, so she could only respond like this.
"Sister Ling, are you hurt?"
Thinking of this, Yu Sheng felt his heart stop beating.
"No."
As Ling Xue spoke, Yu Sheng's gaze still kept drifting over her. Sudan Novel Network
Under Yu Sheng's gaze, Ling Xue felt uncomfortable for the first time.
"That's enough. If you keep looking, I'll call the police."
Ling Xue probably didn't realize that with her skills, she wouldn't need to call the police at all.
Unknowingly, Ling Xue put herself in a passive position in front of Yu Sheng.
This meant that, invisibly, Ling Xue had almost no resistance to Yu Sheng.
If Yu Sheng had been a little more proactive, Ling Xue might not have cut ties with him.
Ding dong—
Just as Yu Sheng was about to retract his gaze, the villa's doorbell rang.
Ling Xue got up to open the door and took a large bag of fruit from the security guard.
Seeing this, Yu Sheng stepped forward to take it, but Ling Xue dodged.
"I'll do it."
This was not the first time Yu Sheng had come to Ling Xue's house. Every time he came before, small matters like cutting fruit were always taken care of by Yu Sheng.
Ling Xue would almost remain still, only looking at fashion magazines she was interested in, and the dynamics of the Mu Corporation.
Yu Sheng was very surprised not to receive the fruit from Ling Xue's hand.
Then Yu Sheng followed Ling Xue into the kitchen, watching her movements nervously.
He was afraid that the careless knife would cut Ling Xue.
"What? You don't trust me?"
Ling Xue glanced at Yu Sheng, who was crowding around and getting in the way, but her movements did not stop.
Bang bang—
With a flick of her wrist, the apple in her hand was cut into uniform eight pieces before it could react.
Seeing that Ling Xue was not injured, Yu Sheng wiped the sweat from his forehead, his expression still tense.
"Stand further away." Ling Xue saw Yu Sheng trying to get closer and reminded him helplessly.
"Okay." Yu Sheng responded and took two small steps back.
Ling Xue cut twice more, then, unable to bear it any longer, pushed Yu Sheng out of the kitchen.
"Be good, stay away, it's better for everyone."
Ling Xue finished speaking and returned to the kitchen.
Yu Sheng stared blankly at Ling Xue's retreating back, and the words Ling Xue had just said echoed in his ears.
Good?
Yu Sheng looked at Ling Xue's back as she cut fruit, remaining motionless, a smile on his lips, like a good dog.
A moment later, the fruit was cut.
Ling Xue deliberately placed the fruit Yu Sheng liked to eat on his side, and then picked up the fashion magazine on the table by herself.
A moment later, Ling Xue's magazine remained untouched.
Ling Xue's eyes were vacant, lost in thought.
A few minutes later, Ling Xue finally came back to her senses, put down the magazine in her hand, and looked up to see Yu Sheng asleep, leaning against the back of the sofa.
Ling Xue watched him quietly for more than ten seconds, then slowly got up and picked up the blanket beside her to cover him.
Ling Xue's gaze moved from under Yu Sheng's soft hair, meticulously tracing every part of him.
"Good about what?
Am I coaxing a child?"
Ling Xue murmured softly and reached out to tidy Yu Sheng's temples.
If the butler, who had watched Ling Xue grow up, heard her say this, he would probably be muttering to himself.
Coaxing a child, Miss Ling would probably bully someone until they cried if she didn't.

By evening, Yun Shunnian was troubled by the problem of dinner.
She didn't know if the leftovers from lunch were still edible, so she decided to cook herself.
At this moment, Yun Shunnian was in the kitchen, looking intently at the recipe in her hand.
After a while, Yun Shunnian took out her phone and threw the recipe aside.
"There are no good dishes in this recipe..." As she spoke, Yun Shunnian opened the food delivery app.
"Made from over a dozen medicinal herbs..."
"Light diet... This won't do, Mu Qi needs to eat well."
