"Perhaps to the point of falling ill from missing you if I were to leave. I want to see you when I open my eyes, and feel your warmth when I close them."
Mu Qi asked earnestly, and Yun Shuxian thought seriously before answering.
"Who am I?" Mu Qi's heart pounded like thunder as he listened to Yun Shuxian's reply, as if it were about to leap out of his chest.
Was it possible?
Could the person he held dear truly love him back?
Was she really thinking of him at this very moment?
Again and again, Mu Qi sought to verify Yun Shuxian's heart.
An uncontrollable yearning, an uncontrollable ecstasy.
"You are Mu Qi. The Mu Qi who would personally plant a grove of white crabapples for me, the Mu Qi who would build an entire building for my clothes, the Mu Qi who knows my needs and takes care of me in every way."
And the Mu Qi who, with nothing left, would still protect her with his life without hesitation.
Yun Shuxian understood Mu Qi's insecurity, and her specific words caused Mu Qi's eyes to redden.
So, the things he had done were all kept in her heart.
After Yun Shuxian finished speaking, she didn't receive a reply from Mu Qi. Finally, she slightly raised her head and secretly glanced at him.
Her slightly reddened eyelids seemed to pass through Yun Shuxian's retina, lightly but surely touching her heart.
Yun Shuxian immediately became nervous, unsure of Mu Qi's current mood.
"Mu Qi, did I say something wrong?" Yun Shuxian asked cautiously.
Mu Qi's throat bobbed, his mind replaying Yun Shuxian's words.
Seeing Yun Shuxian's state, she cautiously stepped forward and kissed the corner of Mu Qi's reddened eye.
Mu Qi's butterfly-wing-like lashes trembled slightly with Yun Shuxian's movement.
Then, an even stronger impulse surged in Mu Qi's phoenix eyes.
When Yun Shuxian's lips left Mu Qi's eye and she looked towards his eyes again, she immediately noticed something was different about him.
At this moment, Mu Qi's phoenix eyes seemed to hold a ball of fierce flame, and Yun Shuxian felt as though she was about to be consumed by it.
Yet, even so, Yun Shuxian was so captivated by Mu Qi that she couldn't tear her gaze away.
She even felt like a moth, throwing herself into that flame without regard for her own safety.
This thought was so strong that Yun Shuxian's body uncontrollably lunged towards Mu Qi.
Lips met lips, and Yun Shuxian used her last shred of reason to restrain herself to a brief touch.
However, Mu Qi, looking at Yun Shuxian so close, smelling her delicate fragrance, felt the flame in his phoenix eyes burn even hotter.
Sensing Yun Shuxian's attempt to pull away, Mu Qi's hands, which were on her waist, suddenly moved up to grip her shoulder blades.
He pulled her forcefully towards him, his red lips sucking and caressing, prying open Yun Shuxian's pearly teeth to entwine with hers...
"Mmm~"
Mu Qi's sudden action made Yun Shuxian forget to breathe. Fortunately, Mu Qi quickly noticed her distress, gently scraped her jaw, and then released her.
"Breathe." Mu Qi gently patted Yun Shuxian's shoulder blades as he looked at her flushed face.
However, feeling the warmth on her back did not relax Yun Shuxian; instead, it made her more nervous.
Yun Shuxian quickly got up from Mu Qi and rushed into the bathroom.
Mu Qi watched her retreating figure, his gaze deep and his footsteps following closely.
Inside the bathroom, Yun Shuxian splashed cold water on her face repeatedly.
She kept chanting to herself in her mind.
We're an old married couple, an old married couple!
Half an hour later, the blush on Yun Shuxian's face finally subsided. She took a deep breath and then grasped the doorknob.
Yun Shuxian first cautiously opened a crack in the door. Seeing that Mu Qi was not there, she completely relaxed.
Then, Yun Shuxian stretched lazily as she walked out of the bathroom.
However, when her slender, impossibly delicate waist was suddenly held in Mu Qi's hand, Yun Shuxian's arms, raised above her head, froze.
"Are you not feeling well?" Mu Qi frowned slightly and felt her forehead.
Yun Shuxian immediately shook her head. "Mu Qi, let's go out and play."
In any case, she couldn't stay in this house any longer.
Mu Qi looked at Yun Shuxian for a long time. Only when he was sure she was fine did his expression soften slightly.
"Why did you run away just now?" Mu Qi's expression soured as he recalled her hasty retreat.
"Mmm~ I was shy." Yun Shuxian nuzzled her forehead against Mu Qi's chest in a coquettish manner.
Feeling the gentle pressure against his chest, Mu Qi's mood improved considerably.
"Have you decided where you want to go?" Mu Qi stroked Yun Shuxian's fluffy hair.
Where to play?
Yun Shuxian felt that as long as she could leave Qi Yuan, anywhere would be fine.
She didn't know how many more moments she could bear to face Mu Qi like this.
"Let's just find an amusement park."
Yun Shuxian thought that amusement parks would have many children.
With such a childlike atmosphere, she believed she wouldn't be having any improper thoughts about Mu Qi.
"Okay." Mu Qi agreed.
Having made up her mind, Yun Shuxian unhesitatingly pulled Mu Qi into the car.
Upon hearing their destination, Shan Gong couldn't help but twitch his lips.
Would their young master go to a place like an amusement park?
It must have been Yun Shuxian's idea again.
However, if Yun Shuxian could make their young master feel better, perhaps even smile, that would be good.
If it were anyone else, Shan Gong would have thought it was pure fantasy, but if it was Yun Shuxian, he felt it might not be so difficult.
Shan Gong pondered this throughout the journey, until the conspicuous Maybach stopped at an amusement park near Qi Yuan.
Shan Gong looked back and saw Yun Shuxian and Mu Qi about to get out of the car, so he didn't say anything more.
Just as Shan Gong was about to stretch comfortably in the car, the car window was lightly tapped twice.
Shan Gong's eyes sharpened, and he immediately looked over, meeting Mu Qi's noble phoenix eyes. Shan Gong instantly understood Mu Qi's intention.
However...
Shan Gong looked up at the childish font on the amusement park sign, and every cell in his body exuded resistance and disdain.
But seeing Mu Qi's receding back, Shan Gong immediately resumed his poker face and followed.
The amusement park was fully equipped with various rides. However, as Yun Shuxian looked at the tourists inside, she froze and fell into thought.
