Chapter 347 Ling Xue Mu Qi Caught in the Act

"You shouldn't speak if you don't understand."

Yun Shunnian shot a fierce glare at Yusheng before her gaze drifted away, lost in thought.

Yusheng's Adam's apple bobbed. He wisely chose not to fan the flames at a time like this.

After Yun Shunnian rested for a while, Yusheng began to have her start her Pilates session for the day.

Yun Shunnian, however, was clearly distracted and couldn't keep up with Yusheng's rhythm at all.

Seeing Yun Shunnian's state, Yusheng knew she was completely flustered and thus had her do just a few simple movements.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the hour hand pointed to five.

At this moment, Yusheng's phone rang, the specific ringtone he had set for Ling Xue.

Yusheng glanced at the absentminded Yun Shunnian before picking up his phone.

【Have her return to Mu Corporation as soon as possible.】

Ling Xue's message was brief and to the point.

Yusheng meticulously read each word from left to right, then put down his phone. He took a deep breath and looked at Yun Shunnian again.

"Miss Yun, it's like this. Although I'm not seriously injured, the doctor still advises me to rest more.

So, would you mind if we called it a day?"

Yun Shunnian was taken aback for a moment before turning to look at the clock on the wall. She then looked back at Yusheng and instinctively asked, "So delicate?"

Yusheng felt a flicker of annoyance, then pursed his lips, wanting to say something but holding back.

Yun Shunnian studied Yusheng for a few seconds, deep in thought.

She mused that if someone looked like this, perhaps being a little delicate wasn't so bad. Maybe she preferred muscular gym guys.

Yun Shunnian got up and walked towards the changing room, not thinking about it anymore. After all, whether Yusheng was delicate or not, and who he liked, had nothing to do with her.

The "delicate" Yusheng, seeing Yun Shunnian leave, immediately followed her.

"Miss Yun, I apologize for wasting your time. How about I drive you back? It's the least I can do to express my apology."

Not long after, Yun Shunnian changed and came out with her bag. Yusheng, who had been waiting not far away, immediately stepped forward.

"No need, I have a driver." Yun Shunnian walked forward without even glancing at Yusheng.

Yusheng faltered, not having considered this.

"Miss Yun, though you might not have liked what I said earlier, based on my many years of experience befriending women, there's definitely something strange about your husband's behavior.

Yusheng's eyes darted around before he said, "It just so happens that you can go check on him now and catch him completely off guard."

After Yusheng finished speaking, Yun Shunnian stopped and turned to look at him. "What, you're so eager for my husband to cheat? Do you want to be my kept man?"

Yun Shunnian's aura intensified, and her tone was sharp.

Yusheng's Adam's apple bobbed. He subconsciously worried he might have been too obvious. "Miss Yun, you've misunderstood."

"Hmph!"

Yun Shunnian scoffed and turned her head to look ahead, her eyes filled with hostility.

Only Yun Shunnian knew that even if Mu Qi's love for her had completely vanished, or if he truly liked someone else, she would never keep a kept man.

She would simply take Mu Qi to a place where only the two of them existed.

She would trap both herself and Mu Qi there.

After watching Yun Shunnian get into her car, Yusheng quickly hurried to his own and followed closely behind her car.

Inside the SUV, Yun Shunnian rested her forehead against the window, her mind churning.

She thought of the past, the present, and the future.

After some time, Yusheng glanced at the navigation. Seeing that the SUV was heading towards Mu Corporation, Yusheng felt a slight sense of relief.

Soon, Yun Shunnian's car stopped steadily in Mu Corporation's underground parking lot. After thanking the driver, Yun Shunnian, holding her bag, walked into Mu Corporation with hurried steps.

As the rapid clicking of her high heels echoed, the receptionist, who had been lost in thought about Ling Xue's earlier words, snapped back to attention. Seeing that it was Yun Shunnian, the receptionist immediately became agitated.

"Madam, you won't believe it, but a woman just came in insisting on seeing the CEO."

Yun Shunnian, seeing the receptionist greet her with a crestfallen face, was initially surprised. Upon hearing what the receptionist said, Yun Shunnian felt a twinge of unease more than anger.

"Madam, that woman even threatened to get me fired! You must help me!"

The receptionist recalled Ling Xue's arrogant and provocative demeanor, feeling both angry and terrified.

Yun Shunnian nodded, though she had little confidence in being able to keep the receptionist's job.

As the elevator doors slowly closed, Yun Shunnian's figure gradually disappeared.

The worry on the receptionist's face vanished, replaced by a bright smile.

Hiding behind Madam, the CEO definitely wouldn't have anything to say.

The receptionist stretched with a yawn.

"Mu Qi, you've made progress now, but you're still nowhere near being a 'puppy'."

In Mu Qi's office, Ling Xue looked at Mu Qi's forced, awkward attempts at cuteness and said with a straight face that he had made progress.

Mu Qi frowned and avoided Ling Xue's gaze.

Suddenly, the office door was flung open from the outside.

With a bang, Yun Shunnian strode into Mu Qi's office. "What are you doing here?"

Yun Shunnian couldn't help but walk between Ling Xue and Mu Qi, blocking Mu Qi.

"Madam Mu, there's no need to be nervous. I'm merely here to discuss cooperation with Mr. Mu."

Ling Xue's gaze landed on the barely concealed tension on Yun Shunnian's face, and her demeanor grew more composed. The address "Madam Mu" sounded more like a mockery of Yun Shunnian's empty title.

Yun Shunnian's face tightened, and she was about to ask more questions when a hand suddenly placed itself on her waist, pulling her back into an embrace.

Mu Qi's chin rested on top of Yun Shunnian's head. He looked down, his long lashes fluttering, as if his eyes were solely on the person in his arms.

Ling Xue's eyes were stung by the sight. Just moments ago, under the guise of teaching, Mu Qi hadn't even spared her a second glance.

Now, Yun Shunnian wasn't even paying attention to Mu Qi, yet he, as if competing for her attention, had directly pulled her into his embrace.

"Since Madam Mu is here, we've pretty much concluded our discussion. I'll be going now."

Ling Xue composed herself, intentionally leaving behind a remark that could be easily misinterpreted, and turned to leave.

Yun Shunnian naturally understood the double meaning in Ling Xue's words. She placed her hands on Mu Qi's, trying to break free.
