Chapter 354: Familiar Yet Strange

Nian Nian, I love you so much.

Mu Qi sighed softly in his heart, then embraced Yun Shu Nian tightly in his arms.

Fear arose from love; Mu Qi's profound affection made him hesitant and filled him with a sense of helplessness.

The next morning, Yun Shu Nian woke up in Mu Qi's embrace. She had fallen asleep early with Mu Qi holding her, so she had the rare chance to catch breakfast.

They were holding each other at the moment. After Yun Shu Nian opened her eyes, she looked at Mu Qi for a few seconds, then moved her leg up and deliberately hooked it around Mu Qi's waist.

Mu Qi had been sleeping restlessly. The moment Yun Shu Nian moved, he woke up.

As soon as he opened his eyes, Mu Qi met Yun Shu Nian's gaze.

Mu Qi looked a bit taken aback. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, sorry for waking you up." Yun Shu Nian's tone was devoid of apology; instead, she stared intently at Mu Qi's phoenix eyes with possessiveness.

Mu Qi's phoenix eyes gradually deepened. His large hand slowly moved up beneath Yun Shu Nian's sleepwear. Yun Shu Nian's eyes flickered, and she finally lowered her gaze, her trembling hand pushing against Mu Qi's chest.

Mu Qi ignored Yun Shu Nian's hand and pressed her down beneath him, kissing her passionately.

Yun Shu Nian's thick eyelashes fluttered, and then she closed her eyes.

Mu Qi, however, stared intently at Yun Shu Nian's subtle expressions.

No resistance.

After an unknown amount of time, Mu Qi reached this conclusion in his heart, and his movements became even gentler.

...

At half-past nine in the morning, Yun Shu Nian and Mu Qi came downstairs, finally eating the breakfast that Aunt Ning had heated up multiple times.

Aunt Ning and the surrounding servants, seeing the red marks on Yun Shu Nian's neck, felt a lot more at ease.

When the masters were harmonious, they were harmonious.

Fifteen minutes later, Mu Qi wiped the milk residue from the corner of Yun Shu Nian's mouth with a handkerchief, and shortly after, he took Yun Shu Nian to the company.

Upon arriving at the company, Mu Qi began his work, while Yun Shu Nian continued to search for information about islands on her phone.

Gran Island has such complete facilities?

Yun Shu Nian stared intently at her phone screen, browsing through the facilities of various sections, and finally saw the price.

This island is so cheap?

And it's available for viewing anytime?

Yun Shu Nian's delicate brows furrowed, clearly skeptical.

Yun Shu Nian repeatedly checked for any missed information. Finding none, she contacted customer service.

"Hello, is this price accurate?"

"It is."

At this moment, Shan Gong was exercising on a treadmill. Hearing his phone's notification, he immediately picked it up.

"Why is this island so cheap? Does this island have any bugs?"

Shan Gong pouted. "No bugs."

An island that their young master fancied, how could it have any bugs?

Yun Shu Nian looked at the message Shan Gong sent, tapping her screen with her index and middle fingers, still feeling something was off.

"Hey, are you customer service? Why don't you use 'dear' when you reply?"

Shan Gong fell silent after seeing Yun Shu Nian's message.

This was considered his insufficient preparation.

No, even if he had been specifically trained, he couldn't say that to Yun Shu Nian.

"Dear"?

Sending one would be enough to have their young master exile him to Africa for ten years, wouldn't it?

Shan Gong frowned as he looked at Yun Shu Nian's message. Sudan Novels.

After thinking for a moment, Shan Gong decided to play the victim card.

"Miss, I am not customer service, but the seller himself. I am over 80 years old, with no children. I plan to sell this island to have money for my retirement."

Selling the island for retirement, Yun Shu Nian's brow furrowed even deeper.

With this island, why would one need to sell it for retirement?

Yun Shu Nian stared at her phone screen for a long time before finally deciding to buy the island.

Perhaps the other party had truly encountered some difficulties.

Or perhaps, what the other party considered retirement was different from the common understanding of it.

Most importantly, Yun Shu Nian desperately needed this place. She couldn't just watch Mu Qi drift further away without taking any action.

An hour later, Shan Gong and Yun Shu Nian's transaction was completed, and they both threw their phones aside.

Shan Gong walked towards the dumbbells, while Yun Shu Nian got up and glanced downstairs. Seeing that Ling Xue was nowhere in sight, her mood slightly improved.

Yun Shu Nian walked quietly to Mu Qi's side, leaning against the desk and gazing at his profile.

Almost the instant Yun Shu Nian approached, Mu Qi noticed her presence.

Want to go out?

A chill ran through Mu Qi's heart. He tightened his grip on his pen, the signature he was about to write nearly tearing the paper.

More than ten minutes later, Yun Shu Nian still hadn't spoken, and Mu Qi's emotions had become a complete mess.

Mu Qi finally couldn't resist looking up at Yun Shu Nian.

The moment he looked at Yun Shu Nian, the tension in Mu Qi's brow eased.

Perhaps it was due to the overwhelming emotion in Yun Shu Nian's eyes that the turbulent waves in his heart subsided, and instead, he felt a tickle.

Mu Qi's throat bobbed, and he spoke first. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, you continue working." Yun Shu Nian didn't want to disrupt Mu Qi's work; she just wanted to watch him.

But even with her gaze constantly on Mu Qi, it couldn't lessen her anxiety in the slightest.

Because Yun Shu Nian knew that Mu Qi was uncontrollable at this moment.

She had to take Mu Qi to an island where only the two of them would be, completely cutting off Mu Qi's contact with the outside world. Only then could Mu Qi belong to her alone.

"Mm." Mu Qi uncomfortably averted his gaze and returned to the documents in his hands.

However, the more Yun Shu Nian feared something, the more likely it was to happen.

And so it went until around 3 PM.

Yu Sheng still hadn't received Yun Shu Nian's reply.

Ling Xue, seeing that Yun Shu Nian didn't intend to go to the yoga studio anymore, changed her clothes and went directly to Mu Corporation.

Ling Xue had just recovered from her fever, so Yu Sheng, worried about her driving, personally drove her to the entrance of Mu Corporation.

At this moment, downstairs at Mu Corporation, as Ling Xue was about to get out of the car, Yu Sheng grasped her wrist.

"Sister Ling, can you not go?"

Ling Xue met Yu Sheng's gaze and felt that Yu Sheng's eyes at this moment were both familiar and strange.

Ling Xue couldn't figure it out and directly pulled her wrist away. "I have to go."

Ling Xue closed the car door. Yu Sheng sat in the car, watching Ling Xue's retreating figure.
