Mu Qi's steps halted. He lowered his head, glanced at her quickly, then ordered them to pack it up and take it away.
This put Yun Shu Nian at ease, and she happily munched on an apple.
A little while later, Yun Shu Nian followed Mu Qi back to the company.
Mu Qi led Yun Shu Nian to a sofa next to his office and returned to his desk.
At this point, the few people who hadn't finished their reports were still waiting by the wall for Mu Qi.
"Continue," Mu Qi said. The group immediately walked to Mu Qi's front in an orderly fashion.
However, the one in front was just about to speak when he saw Mu Qi's expression turn cold.
The person instantly wished he could bury his head in the sand like an ostrich.
"Stand over there," Mu Qi gestured. The person in front, along with the others behind him, immediately walked in the direction Mu Qi pointed.
It was almost a reflex, their bodies reacting before their minds.
"Continue."
When Mu Qi spoke, the person cautiously glanced at him. Seeing that his expression was normal, he relaxed and continued his report.
"Mr. Mu, this project..."
While the supervisor diligently and meticulously reported, Yun Shu Nian was also happily eating. Before long, she finished the apple.
Shortly after, Yun Shu Nian's attention turned to the custard that had just been warmed on the table.
Yun Shu Nian unhesitatingly picked up the bowl and continued to shovel spoonfuls into her mouth.
She seemed to have eaten quite a bit today.
It's fine, it's all protein and fruit, it's okay. With this thought, Yun Shu Nian ate heartily without any guilt.
Soon, the bowl of custard was empty. Yun Shu Nian subconsciously turned her head, wanting to ask for another bowl.
However, seeing that Mu Qi's group hadn't finished their report yet, she swallowed her words and looked longingly at the empty bowls she had finished.
The supervisor's report was at a crucial point, but Mu Qi suddenly raised his hand to stop him.
The man immediately stopped, wondering if he had said something wrong.
Only when he saw Mu Qi walk towards Yun Shu Nian did he understand that Mr. Mu had asked them to stand aside because they were blocking Miss Yun.
"Why eat so much?" Mu Qi walked up and sat down in front of Yun Shu Nian.
Yun Shu Nian's eyes lit up, then sharpened as if they could pierce Mu Qi.
"You dislike me!"
Mu Qi looked at her long-absent small tiger teeth, as if he were mesmerized.
"Binge eating is not good." Mu Qi patted Yun Shu Nian's stomach, his tone carrying a pampering he himself didn't realize.
Feeling the touch on her stomach, Yun Shu Nian immediately dodged to the side.
This feeling was so strange.
"But I still want to eat," Yun Shu Nian looked at Mu Qi pitifully. Mu Qi sighed, seeing Yun Shu Nian act so spoiled.
"What else do you want to eat?"
"A lot, fruits and stuff," Yun Shu Nian thought of the pile of things in her mind and gave a comprehensive summary.
"We'll eat more at noon."
"Oh," Yun Shu Nian's mood was low.
Mu Qi forcibly pulled her into his arms and patted her stomach.
"It's already quite big."
Yun Shu Nian couldn't break free and could only cover her face with her hands. There are other people here, Mu Qi, shouldn't you care about your image?
"Image? What image?" Mu Qi glanced at the people nearby. They immediately turned their heads away, their eyes darting around, not daring to look in the direction of Yun Shu Nian and Mu Qi.
"A very solemn and dignified image." Yun Shu Nian thought for a moment and gave what she considered a neutral and safe answer.
However, she never expected Mu Qi to completely disregard her solemn and dignified image, cup her face, and kiss her.
Yun Shu Nian's crescent eyes widened into round moons, and her face visibly flushed crimson.
"You still can't breathe?" After the kiss, Yun Shu Nian gasped for air, while Mu Qi looked content.
Can't breathe? How could she not be able to breathe?
It must have been because Mu Qi was too sudden, and she hadn't reacted.
Yun Shu Nian was desperately in need of oxygen and had no energy to pay attention to Mu Qi.
"Let's do it again, I'll teach you slowly." As Yun Shu Nian panted, Mu Qi cupped her face with both hands.
Yun Shu Nian looked at the handsome face slowly enlarging before her eyes, like a startled deer, and suddenly pushed Mu Qi away.
"Mu Qi!" Yun Shu Nian was so embarrassed that she couldn't help herself and bolted out the door.
What did he mean by teaching her slowly?
This was too much!
The onlookers who had been thoroughly enjoying the spectacle immediately turned their heads away when they saw Yun Shu Nian run off. Their necks weren't as flexible as an owl's.
"Don't let the young madam leave the company." Mu Qi walked to his desk and made a call to the security downstairs, then chased after her with a cold expression.
The few people left in the CEO's office exchanged glances and then sighed in unison.
Yun Shu Nian, who had left with a flushed face, calmed down slightly but still felt more comfortable at home.
Having made up her mind, she immediately entered Mu Qi's private elevator. It was only after stepping inside that Yun Shu Nian was surprised she could actually enter.
She wondered whose fingerprint had been registered, and after a second of confusion, the elevator doors opened.
Yun Shu Nian strode directly towards the exit. Thinking that she could eat whatever she wanted once she returned to Origin, her mood was unusually good.
"Young madam, the young master said you cannot leave." Just as she was about to walk out the main door, the security guard blocked her path with these words. Yun Shu Nian's happiness vanished without a trace.
"Come upstairs with me."
Before Yun Shu Nian could get angry, Mu Qi pulled her upstairs. The anger that had been rising rapidly was now directed at Mu Qi.
"Mm," Mu Qi grunted and instinctively tried to pull his arm out of Yun Shu Nian's mouth, but seeing the figure imprinted on his heart, he held back.
Mu Qi raised his hand and stroked Yun Shu Nian's hair. At first, it was gentle, but then it became a bit forceful: "Do you hate being with me that much?"
It wasn't like this when they were in the mountains before.
Hearing Mu Qi's chilling voice, Yun Shu Nian's reason returned. She licked the blood from her lips and stiffly raised her head.
