Yun Shuyan suddenly pulled away from Mu Qi.
"President?"
At Mu Corporation, Assistant Li sighed in relief as he heard the beep on his phone.
Ugh, ever since their president found love, her job as an assistant had become increasingly difficult.
...
Mu Qi took his phone away from his ear. Yun Shuyan knew he had hung up, yet she still shyly wanted to hide among the ball pit.
It was all her fault for only thinking about coaxing Mu Qi and getting him to send someone to bring Chibi Maruko-chan to Tong Tong.
Since Yun Shuyan wouldn't come to him, Mu Qi walked towards her step by step.
As Mu Qi got closer and closer, Yun Shuyan gathered her courage. Finally, when Mu Qi was still three steps away, she threw herself onto him again, clinging to him.
"I'm sorry, I was just being jealous," Mu Qi said, stroking Yun Shuyan's head. The despair in his eyes was evident.
He couldn't help it. He was afraid, terrified that Yun Shuyan would leave him, even if it was just over a child.
Yun Shuyan, who was shy, had her legs wrapped around Mu Qi's strong waist and her head hidden in the crook of his neck.
But hearing Mu Qi's humble tone, Yun Shuyan immediately became extremely worried.
Yun Shuyan lifted her head and saw the despair in Mu Qi's eyes.
Yun Shuyan's heart ached unbearably.
"Okay, good boy. I forgive you," Yun Shuyan said, stroking Mu Qi's head, and then kissing him on the lips.
Mu Qi's eyelashes trembled slightly. Yet, Mu Qi, who had just received Yun Shuyan's kiss, wasn't as happy as usual.
If one knew that the sweet candy in their mouth would be lost forever, who would still be happy while eating it?
"Don't leave me," Mu Qi said, hugging Yun Shuyan tightly, his heart filled with the fear of losing her.
I'll change. I'll become the person you want me to be.
"I won't, I won't, I won't..." Yun Shuyan gave Mu Qi's cheek another big peck.
Mu Qi's hand on Yun Shuyan's waist tightened again.
"Mu Qi, don't you think it's a bit embarrassing to be watched by so many children?" Although she was the one who initiated the embrace, being stared at by so many children made Yun Shuyan feel it was truly... too much of a test for human nature.
Embarrassing?
Mu Qi took a deep breath and then let go of Yun Shuyan.
No, didn't she want Mu Qi to send her the Chibi Maruko-chan merchandise?
Thinking of this, Yun Shuyan hugged Mu Qi again, coughed lightly, and adjusted her voice into a charming, nasal tone, "Honey~ I want a Chibi Maruko-chan figurine, can't you have someone send it to me~"
Yun Shuyan's tone twisted and turned like a winding road.
Mu Qi's bones were melting.
"Can't you, honey~" Yun Shuyan said, shaking Mu Qi's arm.
"Yes," Mu Qi agreed immediately.
"Then hurry up and call Assistant Li," Yun Shuyan's crescent eyes immediately lit up as she shook Mu Qi's arm.
Under Yun Shuyan's expectant gaze, Mu Qi took out his phone again.
"President."
Assistant Li's greeting came from the other end of the line.
"Send a set of Chibi Maruko-chan figurines later," Mu Qi said, hanging up before Assistant Li could respond.
At Mu Corporation, Assistant Li looked at the second address sent by Mu Qi with confusion.
"Isn't this the same address as before? Why did President Mu send it again?" Assistant Li muttered to himself, frowning.
"Assistant Li, here are the figurines you requested." Just as Assistant Li was pondering, someone delivered the Chibi Maruko-chan figurines that Mu Qi had ordered.
Assistant Li took them and then immediately headed towards the address Mu Qi had sent him.
"Tong Tong, it's time to go. Thank your brother and sister for playing with you." The aunt who brought Tong Tong walked up to Mu Qi and Yun Shuyan, holding Tong Tong's hand.
Yun Shuyan turned her head upon hearing this.
"No, I don't want to go now. Sister promised to send me Chibi Maruko-chan!" Tong Tong immediately shook off the aunt's hand upon hearing what she said and sat on the ground, crying.
"You child, what Chibi Maruko-chan? Get up quickly, I'll buy it for you." The aunt tried to pull Tong Tong up, but as soon as Tong Tong was pulled up, he cried even louder.
"Auntie, wait. I actually wanted to play with Tong Tong a bit longer. If you don't have anything else to do, please leave later." Yun Shuyan held the aunt's arm.
"This..."
Seeing that there was hope, Tong Tong cried even louder.
"Hey." Seeing Tong Tong like this, the aunt sighed deeply and finally agreed.
"I'm sorry to trouble you, dear." The aunt said to Yun Shuyan apologetically.
"It's fine, it's fine," Yun Shuyan said with a smile, waving her hand.
"The person behind you must be your husband, right? He's so handsome. You two look like a perfect match." Though he was like a freezer, too cold.
Fortunately, he's afraid of his wife, so he won't let such a cute young girl suffer.
Yun Shuyan nodded shyly, thinking that the aunt must have seen her hugging and kissing Mu Qi.
Otherwise, how would the aunt know about her relationship with Mu Qi?
It was truly scandalous.
Yun Shuyan's face was so red it didn't feel like her own.
"His mother will be here soon. I need to go to the entrance to pick her up. I'll leave this child to you, dear."
Yun Shuyan: "Auntie, don't worry."
The aunt nodded and then walked towards the entrance.
Tong Tong had already stopped crying and stood up, grabbing Yun Shuyan's clothes, "Sister, let's continue playing."
"Okay, is it still hide-and-seek, Tong Tong?" Yun Shuyan crouched down to match Tong Tong's height.
"No, let's have a free-for-all, Sister." Saying this, Tong Tong picked up a ball and tossed it lightly at Yun Shuyan.
Yun Shuyan caught the ball.
"Free-for-all?" Yun Shuyan scanned him up and down, wondering how this little body, which was not even a meter tall, could say such a thing.
"Sister, what are you going to do?" Tong Tong hugged himself and looked at Yun Shuyan with an innocent and pitiful expression.
Yun Shuyan: "..."
Yun Shuyan suspected that this child's mother was in the same line of work as her. How many CEO and naive wife dramas would one have to watch to perform so well?
"Tong Tong, are you sure you can have a free-for-all looking like this?" Yun Shuyan pretended to be a domineering CEO, smiling wickedly.
