Ding-dong—
Early in the morning, before Yun Shudian had even woken up, Assistant Li arrived at the villa with a pile of documents.
After a long while, with no one opening the door, Assistant Li, ever so polite and restrained, could only hold the documents with one hand and wipe the sweat from his brow with the other.
...
"Who are you? What are you here for?" Not long after, several more people arrived in front of the villa complex, all wearing the same gray uniforms.
The security guard immediately stepped forward to stop them.
"We were invited by someone named Invincible Tyrannosaurus Rex."
Invincible Tyrannosaurus Rex?
What a cliché and chuunibyou nickname. His seven-year-old son's online handle was more sophisticated than that.
"Go, go, go, you've got the wrong place." Thinking of the young master in the villa who practiced abstinence and cold detachment, and the elegant and beautiful Mrs. Mu, to avoid any unnecessary trouble, the security guard immediately tried to drive them away.
The three exchanged glances, then asked again, "Please think carefully, are you sure there's no such person?"
The security guard was about to deny it when he suddenly remembered that Dr. Diao also lived in this villa complex, although Dr. Diao had gone abroad a few days ago and he hadn't seen him recently.
"Yes, yes, you should leave quickly," the security guard said, waving his hands.
The three ignored the security guard. One of them took out his phone and called "Invincible Tyrannosaurus Rex."
...
Yun Shudian's phone, placed in the living room, rang, the monotonous ringtone repeating over and over.
Yun Shudian's cheek brushed against Mu Qi's chest as she vaguely opened her eyes.
"Mu Qi, how is your wrist?" Feeling the excessive closeness between them, Yun Shudian immediately remembered Mu Qi's injured wrist.
As she spoke, Yun Shudian quickly got up, wanting to see Mu Qi's wrist for herself.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Yun Shudian moved slightly away from Mu Qi, he pulled her back.
"My wrist is fine."
Yun Shudian's gaze shifted from Mu Qi's arm. Seeing no bloodstains on the white bandage on Mu Qi's wrist, she finally felt a little relieved.
The monotonous ringtone echoed in Yun Shudian's ears. She remembered that there would be maids coming this morning and assumed they must have arrived by now.
With that thought, Yun Shudian glanced at the clock on the wall and, supporting herself with her hands on the bed, tried to get up again.
"Where are you going?" Mu Qi clasped Yun Shudian's slender waist, and she couldn't move.
Having just woken up, Yun Shudian hadn't quite come to her senses. Faced with Mu Qi's question, she didn't know how to answer for a moment. Su Dan Novel Network
She could only stare blankly into Mu Qi's eyes, lost in thought, wondering how such a dreamy galaxy could exist.
After ringing for who knows how many times, the phone ringtone that had been lingering in Yun Shudian's ears finally stopped. Yun Shudian finally came back to her senses.
"There are maids coming to cook for us. I'm going to get them."
Her crescent eyes, as if drawn by Mu Qi, slowly focused. Yun Shudian kissed the corner of Mu Qi's eye and then, taking advantage of his moment of distraction, got out of bed.
...
"Hello, yes. Okay, I understand. Give the phone to the security guard."
"Young Madam? You're Invincible Tyrannosaurus Rex?"
"That's right, I'm the one who let them in."
Upon hearing Yun Shudian's voice on the phone, the security guard's tone instantly softened, and even the disbelief on his face was tinged with caution.
After giving her instructions, Yun Shudian hung up the phone.
Ding-dong—
The doorbell rang again at that moment. Yun Shudian put down her phone in confusion and went to open the door.
The villa complex was so large, how could they have arrived so quickly?
"Aunt Ning, why are you so late..."
The moment Yun Shudian opened the door, Assistant Li was looking down at the documents he was about to drop.
When Assistant Li looked up, he staggered. The stack of documents immediately fell to the floor.
"Madam? It's you?"
"Yun Shudian: Why can't it be me?"
"Is Assistant Li alright?"
Yun Shudian glanced down at the documents on the floor, a hint of impatience showing in her expression.
"The CEO hasn't answered my calls or come to the company these past few days, so I thought I'd bring these documents over."
"Assistant Li, you are truly hardworking and dedicated."
As Yun Shudian spoke, she bent down to pick up the scattered documents with Assistant Li.
"Madam, I can do it. I can do it," Assistant Li was flustered and at a loss, not expecting Yun Shudian to personally pick up the documents he had dropped.
Yun Shudian, naturally, did not listen to Assistant Li.
With so many documents, if Yun Shudian didn't help, Assistant Li would be too pitiful to manage alone.
After all, he was someone who worked diligently for Mu Qi, Yun Shudian couldn't let Assistant Li feel disheartened.
"Madam, is the CEO in the study? I'll take the documents to the young master."
In a short while, all the documents were picked up by Yun Shudian and Assistant Li.
Assistant Li followed Yun Shudian into the villa. Although he found it a bit strange that such a large villa had no maids, Assistant Li was Assistant Li after all.
He knew the basic principle of not asking questions he shouldn't.
Before Yun Shudian could respond, the sound of chains rattling and scraping against the floor came from the master bedroom. Yun Shudian's nerves twitched, and she quickly took the documents from Assistant Li's hand.
"No need, I'll take them to Mu Qi."
"Madam, these documents are a bit heavy. I'll do it."
Assistant Li remembered how difficult it had been for him, a grown man, to hold the stack of documents. How could he let the CEO's wife do such work?
Thinking this, Assistant Li stepped forward to take the documents from Yun Shudian's hands again.
Unexpectedly, before Assistant Li could take a few steps, Yun Shudian dodged him.
Yun Shudian said sternly, "You sit here and don't go anywhere."
"Okay. Madam, don't worry." Assistant Li was stunned for a moment, then replied.
With Assistant Li's assurance, Yun Shudian hurriedly carried the documents upstairs.
"Mu Qi, Assistant Li has brought some documents." The moment Yun Shudian entered the master bedroom, she saw Mu Qi standing by the bed, looking towards the door.
Seeing that Mu Qi was fine, not struggling or injured, Yun Shudian's heart instantly relaxed.
"Niannian, didn't you want to hide me away?"
Mu Qi didn't relax at all because of the familiar folder. Instead, he was very concerned about Yun Shudian's attitude.
Mu Qi's words made Yun Shudian pause.
Her dark thoughts had been exposed so brazenly.
Yun Shudian suddenly didn't know how to face herself, or how to face Mu Qi.
Even though Yun Shudian had been strong and reckless at first.
But with Mu Qi embedded in her heart, how could Yun Shudian not care about Mu Qi's opinion of her?
