Yun Shu Nian was stunned by Mu Qi's question, swallowing the saliva in her throat nervously.
"Is that so?" Mu Qi loosened his grip on Yun Shu Nian's hand and instead cupped her face with both hands.
Mu Qi's noble phoenix eyes stared intently at Yun Shu Nian's pair of watery, crescent-shaped eyes.
It was as if he was looking forward, but even more so, he was pleading.
"Mm," Yun Shu Nian shyly kept shifting her gaze but still earnestly responded to Mu Qi.
Mu Qi was a bit sensitive. She wanted Mu Qi to feel her overwhelming love for him.
At this moment, the doctor and another patient were both confused.
Why did this young master that the girl was tending to have a domineering CEO's personality?
It was too jarring. The young master had seemed so obedient in front of this girl just a moment ago!
The doctor and the patient, who had been force-fed a mouthful of dog food, were confused and simultaneously got goosebumps all over.
The patient at this moment didn't even want to get their arm bandaged and just wanted to leave with their unloved limb.
As soon as Yun Shu Nian finished speaking, Mu Qi was momentarily taken aback, as if he couldn't believe it, and then was overcome with ecstasy.
Mu Qi rarely smiled. Even when he wasn't showing any emotion, he exuded an aura of distance and pressure.
Yet, the rare smile of such a Mu Qi held two adorable dimples. However, even the cute dimples didn't make Mu Qi seem approachable.
Instead, he remained noble, someone only to be admired from afar.
In others' eyes, Mu Qi was like a star in the sky, admired by all, but dared by none to reach for.
Except for Yun Shu Nian.
"Mu Qi, you look so good when you smile." Yun Shu Nian was mesmerized by Mu Qi's smile. Sudan Novel Network.
After unconsciously saying this, Yun Shu Nian was dissatisfied with the description, feeling that the words "so good" couldn't capture how stunning Mu Qi's smile was.
Yet, apart from these three words, Yun Shu Nian felt there was no more sincere or accurate description.
As Yun Shu Nian spoke, the corners of Mu Qi's lips curved even wider.
Yun Shu Nian became lost in his smile again. Even the two burly bystanders, the extras, were secretly staring at Mu Qi, captivated.
However, unlike Yun Shu Nian, their gazes held not just admiration, but more of jealousy, envy, and resentment.
After an unknown amount of time, Yun Shu Nian's soul finally returned from Mu Qi's breathtaking smile.
Yun Shu Nian then noticed that it wasn't just Mu Qi and her in the room. For a moment, Yun Shu Nian wished she could find a large crack in the ground to crawl into.
At this moment, the other patient in the emergency room had also finished having their arm bandaged.
That patient left the emergency room with hasty steps without even glancing at Yun Shu Nian and Mu Qi.
"Doctor, sorry to bother you. We'll be leaving now." Yun Shu Nian politely bid farewell. The doctor immediately turned around, bending over and pointing to the door with his right hand while placing his left hand on his right elbow.
Yun Shu Nian was once again awkwarded by the doctor's gesture.
People were always so strange.
Yun Shu Nian glanced at the clock in the emergency room and realized it was almost noon. She immediately pulled Mu Qi's hand and walked out.
"Shan Gong, return to the mansion." Soon, the two were back in the car.
Shan Gong instinctively glanced at Mu Qi through the rearview mirror. Catching Mu Qi's gaze, Shan Gong immediately stopped the car from starting.
"Shan Gong, why aren't we leaving?" Yun Shu Nian asked in confusion, seeing Shan Gong's inaction.
Shan Gong didn't know how to respond to Yun Shu Nian, so he simply remained silent.
"We're going back to Qi Yuan," Mu Qi said, holding Yun Shu Nian's hand, as if stating a fact.
Yun Shu Nian became anxious: "Why? We still have to go back and help Yao Zhen."
"You still want to go back and see Zuo Nan?" Mu Qi's tone was neither warm nor cold, but it felt more dangerous than if he had expressed emotion.
Having lived two lives, Yun Shu Nian was all too familiar with this. If she didn't answer well, she might be locked up again.
"Mu Bao Bei, we can't go back on our word," Yun Shu Nian said, shaking Mu Qi's hand, her voice so sweet it could break a mountain.
"I want you. I don't want your word," Mu Qi took a deep breath and then pulled Yun Shu Nian onto his lap.
"Mu Bao Bei, that doesn't have to conflict," Yun Shu Nian persisted with her affectionate attack.
"He will take you away from me," Mu Qi's voice was low as he tightly held Yun Shu Nian in his embrace.
"Ah~ Mu Qi, I'm so sad. I could clearly help Yao Zhen and slap Zuo Nan in the face!
But now you want me to go back!
Mu Bao Bei, I'm not willing, I'm so sad!
Ah~, I'm so uncomfortable." Yun Shu Nian burrowed into Mu Qi's arms with a feigned cry.
Shan Gong, sitting in the front, couldn't stand it. He had never seen such a situation in his life.
It was quite exaggerated and strange.
But thinking that besides Yun Shu Nian, no one else dared to climb onto their young master, Shan Gong immediately felt at ease.
It seemed he had to adapt quickly; such situations would likely be common in the future.
However, would her actions really work?
Would the young master take her back to the mansion just because of Yun Shu Nian's fake crying?
Shan Gong thought it was impossible, but when he considered it was Yun Shu Nian, his mind changed immediately.
As long as it was Yun Shu Nian, nothing seemed impossible with their young master.
Shan Gong was, indeed, very perceptive.
"Shan Gong, go to the mansion."
Sure enough, after Yun Shu Nian's crying fit lasted only a few seconds, Shan Gong received Mu Qi's compromise.
Shan Gong started the Maybach, and Yun Shu Nian stopped crying.
A moment of peace ensued.
"Mu Bao Bei, don't worry. I'm going to slap Zuo Nan in the face. With Zuo Nan's build, I can take on ten of him. How could he possibly snatch me away?"
Yun Shu Nian petted Mu Qi's head and then pecked his chin.
Her actions were clearly meant to appease and flatter, but Mu Qi still showed no reaction.
He wasn't worried about Zuo Nan snatching his baby away. He was worried about Yun Shu Nian witnessing firsthand how he would make Zuo Nan disappear.
Mu Qi didn't heed Yun Shu Nian's words of comfort, but Shan Gong in the front had taken them to heart.
He was curious to see how Yun Shu Nian would slap Zuo Nan's face.
