Seeing the waitress about to scratch Yun Shunian’s face with her fingernails, another security guard standing beside her immediately stepped forward and restrained her.
"I'm telling you, if you dare to ruin my makeup today, I'll never be done with you!" the waitress threatened, her eyes wide with ferocity and her face contorted.
Yun Shunian crossed her arms and looked at her with impatience, seeing through her bluster.
Yun Shunian felt that regardless of whether her makeup was removed or not, her appearance was already ugly enough.
Manager Li quickly stepped forward to shield Yun Shunian, looking exasperatedly at the waitress, fearing she would cause more trouble.
"You two, what are you standing around for? Hurry up and remove her makeup!"
The two staff members who were called upon immediately walked over with makeup remover and basins of water.
"Behave!" The two security guards behind them came forward again, using their full strength to control the waitress.
It was a joke; they were security guards. If they let another woman escape their grasp, who would dare to hire them in the future!
Thinking this, the two applied more force.
The waitress couldn't withstand the immense pressure and screamed loudly.
The two staff members took the opportunity to smear makeup remover on her face, then picked up a basin of water and splashed it onto her face.
In an instant, her heavily made-up face revealed its true appearance.
Her face was mottled with age spots, and her nose looked fake and slightly crooked.
The waitress realized what had happened and buried her head downwards with all her might.
"Madam Mu, what are your other requests? Please, just say the word." Assistant Li, seeing this, immediately focused on Yun Shunian's mood.
However, after a few glances, he couldn't discern anything and could only respectfully ask Yun Shunian's wishes.
"Apologize to Aunt Ning." Yun Shunian paused, then pulled Aunt Ning to her side.
"No, no, no, Madam, there's no need."
Aunt Ning was a gentle person, practically an elder of the Mu family, yet she had never been condescending or targeted anyone.
"There is a need, Aunt Ning." Yun Shunian's tone was gentle and comforting, but her demeanor was not to be refused.
Assistant Li immediately kicked the half-dead waitress beside him, "Did you hear that? Apologize now."
"I'm sorry." After her makeup was removed, the waitress's demeanor seemed to have vanished along with it.
"Please apologize seriously, sincerely, and genuinely!" Hearing the perfunctory tone, Yun Shunian was very dissatisfied.
"I'm sorry." The waitress bit her lip, her eyes dark. After a moment of silence, she compromised and apologized again.
"Alright, take her away. And don't let me see her again."
Yun Shunian waved her hand, and the oppressive aura around her subsided.
Manager Li nodded repeatedly in agreement and then had the two security guards escort her out.
"Madam, would you prefer a bracelet or a necklace? I can introduce you to some." Although the incident had passed, Assistant Li did not dare to be negligent.
"No need. You go about your business, I can wander around by myself."
Yun Shunian's tone softened.
"Alright, Madam Mu, if you need anything, just come find me."
Manager Li bowed with his beer belly straining and then turned to leave.
Yun Shunian nodded, then took out her phone, intending to report her safety to Mu Qi, when she realized Mu Qi's current location was very close to her.
A few days after Mu Qi had given Yun Shunian her phone, Yun Shunian had secretly added a location tracking app to Mu Qi's phone.
It wasn't just Mu Qi who wanted to know her whereabouts; Yun Shunian also wanted to know where Mu Qi was at all times.
Besides, these little tricks were things Mu Qi had long since mastered in his past life. If she only used it this once, Mu Qi should...
No, he absolutely could not blame her!
Yun Shunian put away her phone without further thought and immediately ran towards the exit.
Seeing Yun Shunian's sudden movement, Aunt Ning, fearing she was trying to escape again, hurried to follow.
"Young Master, Young Madam is coming out. Should we go and apprehend Madam, or should we hide?"
Shan Gong couldn't tell if Yun Shunian was trying to escape.
He also remembered that the Young Master had been hiding in the corner watching Yun Shunian since he arrived.
When the waitress had charged towards Yun Shunian earlier, if he hadn't stopped the Young Master in time after seeing that Yun Shunian was not in danger, he might have already exposed himself.
Mu Qi's mind was a blank slate. He instinctively stared intently at Yun Shunian, afraid that if he looked away for a moment, she would disappear.
"Mu Qi." To the surprised glances of Shan Gong and Mu Qi, Yun Shunian rushed into Mu Qi's arms.
"Mu Qi, why are you here? Why didn't you come find me?" Yun Shunian, dressed in a beige tracksuit today, hung from Mu Qi's body without any hesitation.
"I'm talking to you, Mu Qi." Yun Shunian pouted in dissatisfaction.
Mu Qi gradually came back to his senses and raised his hands to support Yun Shunian to prevent her from falling.
"How did you know I was here?"
Although it was originally a question, the way Mu Qi asked it with a soft voice completely stripped it of its interrogative meaning.
"I... I happened to see it." Yun Shunian made up an excuse, not daring to reveal that she had installed a tracking program on Mu Qi's phone.
"Mmm." With the soft fragrance of her in his arms, Mu Qi was not particularly bothered by the question.
Shan Gong, on the other hand, a lone observer, easily saw through Yun Shunian's lie.
"I've already told you, but you haven't answered me yet, Mu Qi."
Mu Qi: "I was worried."
"Anything else?" Yun Shunian leaned closer to Mu Qi with a playful air.
"You didn't want to see me, so I was here watching, ensuring your safety."
Mu Qi said this with absolute seriousness, his tone devoid of any hint of grievance, but it made Yun Shunian's heart ache even more.
"I'm not talking about that. I mean, besides being worried, didn't you come here because you missed me too?"
Yun Shunian tilted her head and acted spoiled.
Mu Qi's Adam's apple bobbed, and his expression suddenly became a little unnatural. "Yes, I missed you."
"Mu Qi, I missed you too." Yun Shunian affectionately nuzzled Mu Qi's nose.
Shan Gong quickly looked away upon witnessing this scene.
Shan Gong: He felt uncomfortable...
"So Mu Qi, don't do this again in the future. If you want to see me, you can anytime.
You are the person I love the most. I'll be very happy to see you."
