Chapter 306 Panic

"Mu Qi, is this place interesting?"

Yun Shudian and Mu Qi had arrived at the police station. Yun Shudian squeezed Mu Qi's hand, curious about what the police station was in Mu Qi's eyes.

"Hm?" The soft touch on his hand made Mu Qi, who was already in a good mood, even more tender.

"Didn't you want to come to the police station? We're here now, do you like it?"

Yun Shudian leaned into Mu Qi's ear. Mu Qi bent down, allowing Yun Shudian to get even closer.

Yun Shudian asked cautiously, afraid of being overheard.

"I wanted to come to the police station?" Mu Qi asked, confused.

Yun Shudian nodded. She didn't understand why Mu Qi asked that, as he had seemed so excited before they came.

"So, Mu Qi, why did you really want to come to the police station?" Yun Shudian asked, puzzled.

"I didn't want to come to the police station. I just wanted to be with you," Mu Qi replied earnestly, looking into Yun Shudian's eyes.

*Just wanted to be with me?*

Yun Shudian repeated it silently. Her face instantly turned crimson, as if a ball of soft cotton had stormed into her heart, making her feel both sweet and ticklish.

"Oh." Yun Shudian's voice was unnaturally light and clear.

Mu Qi ruffled Yun Shudian's hair and led her into the room for recording statements.

"Miss, did the other party use force? It looks quite serious on your face. Do you need to see a doctor?"

The young policewoman taking the statement was first struck by Mu Qi's striking appearance. Then, adhering to her professional duty, she looked at Yun Shudian, intending to greet her.

However, to her surprise, as soon as she looked, she saw Yun Shudian's face as red as a Bloody Mary, and she was startled.

"What's wrong?" Hearing the policewoman's words, Mu Qi's attention also turned to Yun Shudian's face. He anxiously held Yun Shudian's chin, turning her face.

"I'm fine." Yun Shudian, whose heart was fluttering from that ball of cotton, tried to push Mu Qi's hand away.

Mu Qi did as Yun Shudian wished and let go of her chin, but the next moment, he swept her up into his arms, intending to take her to see a doctor.

Seeing Mu Qi's determined look to take her to the doctor before he felt at ease, Yun Shudian had no choice but to quickly explain.

"Mu Qi, I was just feeling shy," Yun Shudian whispered in his ear at a moderate volume.

*Shy?*

Mu Qi's steps faltered. His gaze returned to Yun Shudian's face, as if carefully examining whether things were as Yun Shudian said, simply a matter of shyness.

"Why are you shy?" Mu Qi couldn't figure it out and needed Yun Shudian's explanation to confirm.

"Because of what you just said." Yun Shudian's voice became significantly softer.

"Which sentence?"

Mu Qi pondered for a moment, unsure which sentence Yun Shudian was referring to, and unable to judge the truthfulness of her shyness.

"You said you wanted to be with me."

Yun Shudian's voice grew even smaller, and this time, even her ears turned completely red.

Mu Qi's throat bobbed. He tried to speak several times but ultimately said nothing.

In the past, Mu Qi had wanted to be with Yun Shudian, and Yun Shudian had resisted, even going so far as to try to kill him.

But now, Yun Shudian was shy because of it. No matter how sincere Yun Shudian's feelings were, it made Mu Qi feel fortunate.

In Mu Qi's logic, Yun Shudian's shyness equaled liking him.

The fact that his words made Yun Shudian shy also indicated that Yun Shudian liked his intention to be with her.

If that were the case, would they be able to be together forever?

This conclusion made Mu Qi so flustered that he was at a loss. He wanted to ask Yun Shudian if she would never change.

Never again would she resist him like she did before their wedding night, wishing he would disappear from the world.

But now it was different. Nian Nian liked being with him.

But would Nian Nian never change? Mu Qi didn't know. His Nian Nian didn't know either.

No one knew what the future held. Right now, there was a hidden danger before Mu Qi, and that was Ning Chen.

The childhood sweetheart of Nian Nian, the one who almost had a childhood engagement with Nian Nian.

As Mu Qi thought of this, the flutter in his heart quietly subsided, replaced by immense loss and a faint sense of panic.

"Sir?" The policewoman, seeing Mu Qi standing by the door holding Yun Shudian, was growing impatient.

Although not many people came in generally, she still had many tedious tasks to complete.

So, even though the handsome man holding the beautiful woman was a pleasant sight, she wanted to know if Yun Shudian was alright and, if so, for them to come back and record the statement quickly.

"Mu Qi, please put me down. We need to record the statement."

Because he was reminded of Yun Shudian's childhood, Mu Qi's aura instantly turned somber, and the policewoman happened to walk right into his line of fire.

Yun Shudian saw Mu Qi frowning slightly. Not knowing why he had suddenly become unhappy, she reached out and smoothed his furrowed brow.

Yun Shudian spoke. What had been an insignificant matter to Mu Qi, like recording a statement, suddenly became important in his heart.

"Okay." Mu Qi responded. He didn't put Yun Shudian down and directly carried her back to her seat.

"So, miss, are you sure you're physically alright?" The policewoman stared at Yun Shudian's flushed face, full of confusion.

Yun Shudian shook her head.

Logically, in such a situation, the most serious ailment would be a high fever.

The policewoman looked at Yun Shudian a few more times. Seeing the redness on Yun Shudian's face gradually fade, she finally relaxed.

The policewoman never suspected that it could be as simple a reason as shyness.

After all, Mu Qi hadn't done anything too excessive to Yun Shudian since they entered.

And the policewoman hadn't heard anything of the whispered conversation Yun Shudian had just had with Mu Qi.

"Alright, please tell us how the conflict with the other woman started."

...

Trust him

There was a reason?

Ning Chen's eyes followed the hand that Ning Jing had used to tug his sleeve earlier. His gaze then moved up, finally resting on Ning Jing's delicate and fragile collarbone.
