“This is the last time.” Mu Qi, embracing Yun Shunan, his phoenix eyes glaring with ferocity at Zuo Nan, who lay sprawled on the ground.
Yun Shunan’s heart was entirely focused on Mu Qi’s injured lip. Seeing that Mu Qi’s mood had improved, she looked up at the wound on his lip.
“Does it hurt?” Yun Shunan gently touched Mu Qi’s lip, her heart aching.
Mu Qi felt the warmth on his lips, and the terrifying ferocity slowly receded.
Zuo Nan’s tightly clenched muscles finally began to relax.
Mu Qi lowered his gaze to Yun Shunan, his expression complex: “So what if it hurts? So what if it doesn’t?”
After all, whether it hurt or not, she would protect Zuo Nan.
“If it hurts, you’re not allowed to bite anymore. If it doesn’t hurt, you’re still not allowed to bite anymore.” Seeing Mu Qi’s nonchalant demeanor, Yun Shunan was furious and poked his lower lip hard.
Seeing Mu Qi remain silent, Yun Shunan felt even more distressed.
She knew perfectly well that Mu Qi was the type of person who wouldn’t complain about pain. How could she have been so heavy-handed just now?
“Let’s go apply some medicine first.” Yun Shunan lowered her hand and then pulled Mu Qi’s hand, leading him outside.
Was she that afraid he would harm Zuo Nan again? Mu Qi looked deeply at Yun Shunan, his heart aching as if it would suffocate, yet he still let Yun Shunan lead him outside.
However, Zuo Nan, thinking he had Mu Qi cornered and wouldn’t dare touch him, became increasingly audacious.
“Nian Nian, it must be very painful to face such a violent and paranoid person every day, right?”
Zuo Nan once again looked at Yun Shunan with deep affection, projecting an image of profound sorrow and devotion.
This sentence successfully made Yun Shunan stop in her tracks.
The crowd, however, looked at Zuo Nan as if he were an idiot.
To say such a thing in front of so many people was truly courting death.
Given Mu Qi’s influence in the capital, what did it matter if he was paranoid or violent? He had plenty of ways to deal with you.
The crowd’s initial thoughts were based on the ingrained stereotypes they had heard about Mu Qi.
But then, they belatedly recalled Mu Qi’s attitude towards Yun Shunan just now, and for a moment, they were uncertain about Zuo Nan’s fate.
This Mr. Mu, who could control everything in the capital, seemed to have a fatal weakness.
That was his wife, Yun Shunan.
If this Madam Mu truly sided with Zuo Nan, it was possible that this illegitimate son’s suicidal behavior might ultimately allow him to leave the mansion unharmed.
But would this Mr. Mu, who wielded such power in the capital, truly tolerate this illegitimate son acting so brazenly over his head because of a woman?
For a moment, all eyes were on Mu Qi, waiting to see if he would swallow his pride for Yun Shunan’s sake or if he would show Zuo Nan what paranoia and violence truly meant.
Unexpectedly, before Mu Qi could make a move, Yun Shunan was the first to lunge towards Zuo Nan.
With a bang, Yun Shunan lifted Zuo Nan from the ground and then slammed him heavily back down.
Zuo Nan curled up in pain, looking at Yun Shunan in disbelief.
What was even more unbelievable to Zuo Nan than Yun Shunan’s ruthlessness was her surprising strength.
Then, as if still not satisfied, Yun Shunan walked step by step behind Zuo Nan, stepped on his back with her high-heeled shoe, forcing him to lie flat on the ground.
Yun Shunan ground her heel mercilessly, showing no sign of restraint.
“Zuo Nan, what did you just say?” Yun Shunan’s voice was sinister, as if she were no longer even willing to give Zuo Nan a chance to speak.
“I… I said…” A bit of salty blood welled up in Zuo Nan’s throat as he spoke intermittently, trying his best to cooperate with Yun Shunan.
Hearing Zuo Nan’s voice, Yun Shunan eased her foot slightly, then kicked Zuo Nan to face her.
“Speak quickly.”
Yun Shunan then nudged Zuo Nan’s bluish cheek with her toe, her expression cold and unyielding.
It was as if she were saying, speak, and as long as you do, this sharp heel and toe will land on some part of your body.
“I… I forgot.” The extreme pain made Zuo Nan lose the ability to think, but instinctively, he tried to avoid vital spots.
However, Yun Shunan was not about to let him off easily.
“You forgot? But I remember perfectly clearly.
You said Mu Qi was paranoid and violent. I don’t think you’re right. I’m the one who’s paranoid and violent.
If you dare to spread such baseless rumors again, I don’t mind using paranoia and violence on you again and again!”
As Yun Shunan finished speaking, Zuo Nan nodded repeatedly. Yun Shunan raised her foot and kicked Zuo Nan far away, then turned around, ignoring the gazes of the crowd, and walked directly towards Mu Qi.
Seeing that Mu Qi’s lips had become even redder in this short time, Yun Shunan’s anxiety grew. She grabbed Mu Qi’s hand and rushed out, thus missing Mu Qi’s bewildered gaze.
Yun Shunan: “Shan Gong, to the hospital.”
Shan Gong paused for a moment, looked at Mu Qi through the rearview mirror, and seeing no instructions from Mu Qi, began driving towards the address Yun Shunan had given.
Habitually, she brought Mu Qi to sit in the back and habitually called out Shan Gong’s name. Yun Shunan froze.
Was Shan Gong here the whole time?
Such a useful tool…
Wait, no.
Such a good person!
Yun Shunan had a plan. The little person in her heart silently picked up a stick, intending to give Shan Gong a surprise whack when he least expected it.
“Shan Gong, why didn’t you help me when I was disciplining Zuo Nan just now?”
Shan Gong paused again, his expression tightening slightly. How could he know what mischief Yun Shunan was planning now?
Help?
It seemed unnecessary, didn’t it?
That was clearly Yun Shunan’s one-sided dominance!
“Alright, considering you’re new and not very familiar with the business yet, I won’t hold it against you.”
Yun Shunan’s fingers were naturally curved and placed on her chin, her posture lazy and regal.
She truly looked like she was bestowing a great favor.
Shan Gong, on the other hand, had black lines all over his forehead, wishing he could bite off a piece of Yun Shunan.
His business was not familiar?
She was clearly talking nonsense!
In the past, after he taught Zuo Nan a lesson when he couldn’t stand it, Yun Shunan would always make a fuss with the young master, causing him to become emotionally unstable, and he would also be punished.
