"I only like you. No one can ever replace you."
Fearing that Yun Shuxinnian would continue to overthink, Mu Qi immediately cupped her face to comfort her.
"Then why do you remember her name!" Yun Shuxinnian turned her head, unable to help but get stuck on the point.
Mu Qi turned Yun Shuxinnian's head back. "Because of you."
Yun Shuxinnian frowned, not understanding what Mu Qi meant.
"Because of me? Because of me what?" Yun Shuxinnian stared at Mu Qi's clothes, determined to get to the bottom of it.
"What is it because of me?"
After a while, seeing that Mu Qi still didn't answer, Yun Shuxinnian grabbed his hand and continued to ask.
Mu Qi was silent for a moment, then said, "Because she is a bit like you."
Yun Shuxinnian narrowed her eyes, looking like she was gritting her teeth. Then, she pried Mu Qi's hand off her cheek, turned her head to the window, and let out a forceful hum, clearly expecting him to coax her.
Mu Qi looked at Yun Shuxinnian's back, reached up to his forehead, and sighed deeply.
"Then what about you? Why did you help Yao Zhen?" Mu Qi forcefully turned Yun Shuxinnian back to him.
Yun Shuxinnian thought about the trouble in her mind, and coupled with her anger, she ignored Mu Qi.
"Because of Zuo Nan?" Mu Qi pulled Yun Shuxinnian closer to him, his voice cold.
"Can you stop having that expression every time Zuo Nan is mentioned? I've told you many times that I don't like Zuo Nan at all, I even hate him!"
Yun Shuxinnian irritably pushed Mu Qi away.
A moment later, Yun Shuxinnian felt she might have been making a fuss over nothing.
Mu Qi looked at Yun Shuxinnian, who was ignoring him, and his sense of crisis deepened.
Would they drift further apart like this? Would the little bit of affection she had for him vanish one day?
Mu Qi looked at Yun Shuxinnian, his fear overcoming his anger.
"I'm sorry, I was too sensitive. Please don't be angry, okay?"
"Oh." Yun Shuxinnian slowly turned her head.
"I can't tell you the specifics, but you know I just want Zuo Nan to be punished, and I don't want Yao Zhen to be harmed innocently."
Yun Shuxinnian explained, holding Mu Qi's sleeve.
She knew he lacked security; Yun Shuxinnian felt full of guilt.
Yun Shuxinnian unbuckled her seatbelt and sat on Mu Qi's lap, kissing him repeatedly. Then, she slowly unbuttoned his shirt and slipped her hand inside.
"What are you doing?" Mu Qi grabbed Yun Shuxinnian's hand with one hand and blocked her shoulder with the other.
Yun Shuxinnian didn't speak and pushed Mu Qi back.
Then, Yun Shuxinnian directly covered Mu Qi's lips again.
Mu Qi's hands continued to push Yun Shuxinnian away, but Yun Shuxinnian's hands caught his and didn't let go.
Gradually, Mu Qi stopped resisting. Yun Shuxinnian, as she wished, continued to deepen their kiss.
Soon, Yun Shuxinnian's body softened. Mu Qi seized the opportunity to embrace her waist, his lips gradually sliding to her ear.
Almost immediately, Yun Shuxinnian's body melted like water.
Mu Qi kissed her earlobe, then pinched her waist and lifted her slightly, holding her tightly.
"Mu Qi?" Yun Shuxinnian, seeing that Mu Qi was only holding her and not doing anything else, couldn't help but call his name in confusion.
After a long while, Mu Qi finally responded.
"Just a moment, I'll take you to the company right away." Mu Qi's lips curved into a deep smile, the seductive glint in his eyes making it hard to associate him with his usual cold and violent demeanor.
"That's not what I was talking about," Yun Shuxinnian muttered very, very softly.
Mu Qi laughed even more happily at her words.
"Then what were you talking about?"
"Mu Qi, you know perfectly well what I'm talking about!"
Yun Shuxinnian was filled with shame and indignation.
Mu Qi smiled and held her even tighter. "Good girl, you just had your medicine applied."
"Then... then what about you now?" Yun Shuxinnian squirmed uncomfortably on him.
"Don't move." Mu Qi gasped.
Yun Shuxinnian immediately dared not move again.
Yun Shuxinnian's face flushed, her body stiff as if it didn't belong to her.
"Can I get down now?" After a while, Yun Shuxinnian felt that Mu Qi was as hot as a steamed shrimp.
"Wait a little longer." Mu Qi took a deep breath, rubbing the soft flesh on Yun Shuxinnian's waist.
"How about I help you?" Yun Shuxinnian couldn't stand it anymore and cautiously offered.
But as soon as Yun Shuxinnian finished speaking, she felt Mu Qi's body temperature rise even higher. Immediately after, Mu Qi moved her to the passenger seat beside him.
Mu Qi: "Just be quiet."
Yun Shuxinnian silently glanced at Mu Qi, who was slumped over the steering wheel, then turned to look out the window. "Oh."
Another half an hour later, the black Maybach finally started moving.
Halfway through the journey, Mu Qi's phone suddenly rang.
Seeing Mu Qi driving, Yun Shuxinnian reached into his pocket and took out his phone.
Mu Qi stared ahead, unconcerned by Yun Shuxinnian's actions.
It was Assistant Li.
Yun Shuxinnian glanced at it and clicked to answer.
Assistant Li's anxious voice soon came through the phone.
"Mr. Mu, I just went to deliver water to Miss Yao and found that she had fainted. I've already taken her to the hospital."
"Miss Yao woke up a few minutes ago and is currently undergoing treatment, insisting on seeing you."
"Which hospital?"
The young madam?
Assistant Li was taken aback for a moment, then immediately relayed the address to Yun Shuxinnian.
Yun Shuxinnian hung up the phone, turned to explain the situation to Mu Qi, and then told him the address.
...
Ten minutes later, Yun Shuxinnian and Mu Qi arrived at the exact location Assistant Li had sent to Mu Qi's phone.
"Young Master, you're here." Assistant Li, sitting outside the ward, saw Mu Qi for the first time and felt as if he had seen a relative.
Mu Qi didn't speak. Facing Mu Qi's usual cold gaze, Assistant Li quickly composed himself.
"Who are you? Get away, all of you! I want to see Brother Mu!"
Before Assistant Li could speak, Yao Zhen's loud, noisy voice came from the adjacent room.
