"How can I contact you without a phone?" Time ticked by, and Yun Shinian casually found an excuse.
Mu Qi replied, "You can find Aunt Ning. She'll tell me."
"That's very inconvenient," Yun Shinian said. As she spoke, Mu Qi walked towards her step by step.
"Tell me, who do you want to contact?" Mu Qi reached Yun Shinian and cupped her face with one hand.
Her phoenix eyes gradually turned cold. Yun Shinian dared not find any more excuses and could only tell the truth.
"Assistant Li," Yun Shinian said, avoiding Mu Qi's gaze and looking to his right.
Mu Qi's brow furrowed deeper. "What do you need him for?"
Far away in the assistant's office at Mu Corporation, Assistant Li suddenly sneezed.
"Oh, Little Li, who's thinking of you?" The cleaning lady, who Assistant Li had called in to clean, straightened up, holding her broom, and teased him.
"No, no," Assistant Li smiled and waved his hand at the cleaning lady, but a chill ran down his spine.
After the cleaning lady left, Assistant Li couldn't help but hug himself tightly.
"Why does this feeling feel so much like when I face the CEO?" Assistant Li mumbled quietly, then shivered.
"I must be overthinking it," Assistant Li said, lifting one hand from his embrace to scratch his head.
However, the uneasy feeling didn't disappear with that thought. Instead, it reminded him of the dreams he had when he first started working, where he was fired every night.
Would he fire him, or would he send him to South Africa?
"What do you need Assistant Li for?" Mu Qi leaned closer to Yun Shinian and pressed for an answer.
Mu Qi's face was directly in front of Yun Shinian's, making her feel frantic.
Was it that obvious? Did he really need her to spell it out!
"Isn't it because of your Miss Yao?" Yun Shinian's words were tinged with jealousy.
"Miss Yao? What does she have to do with it?" Mu Qi frowned, contemplating whether he should send Miss Yao to South Africa too.
Yun Shinian's brow twitched. She really wanted to know if Mu Qi's head was made of wood.
"What do you think her relationship is?"
"That day, it was because of Miss Yao that you immediately left me at home and went to the company yourself!" Remembering how Mu Qi and Assistant Li had left without looking back, Yun Shinian felt like biting someone again.
At this moment, Yun Shinian was no longer timid. Instead, she stared intently at Mu Qi, like she was looking at an ungrateful husband.
"Then why don't you come with me?" Mu Qi still didn't quite understand Yun Shinian's meaning and could only ask tentatively.
"How can I go out with you like this?" Yun Shinian punched Mu Qi in the chest.
"Why can't you?"
Mu Qi then added, "I can carry you."
Mu Qi thought Yun Shinian was still in pain.
Yun Shinian's face was almost bleeding.
"Look at what you've done. If I go out with you, everyone will know," Yun Shinian said with a scolding tone.
"So what if they know?" This way, everyone would know that his little princess belonged to him.
Yun Shinian was completely stunned. She doubted how the dashing Mu Qi could say such a thing!
"Mu Qi, you have no shame, but I do!" Yun Shinian suddenly retreated from Mu Qi's embrace.
Mu Qi: "..."
Besides her, no one had ever told him he had no shame.
"Mu Qi, let's be frank. Are you planning to cheat?" Seeing that Mu Qi was about to be an hour late, Yun Shinian put her hands on her hips and questioned him.
Yun Shinian knew Mu Qi wouldn't, but she couldn't help the feeling of unease caused by that Miss Yao's supposed sorcery.
Mu Qi replied, "There's no room for anyone else beside you in my life."
"Ahem."
Being looked at by Mu Qi like that, Yun Shinian suddenly felt a jolt of electricity.
"Then what should I do if I can't help but overthink?" Yun Shinian tilted her head and stepped forward.
"What do you want to do?" Mu Qi looked bewildered, a rare expression for him.
"Help me get a phone!" Yun Shinian poked Mu Qi's abs.
Hmm, hard, just like him.
"What's the point of a phone?" Mu Qi rubbed his forehead.
"It's for checking up on you!" Yun Shinian was surprised that Mu Qi still hadn't caught on and had to remind him herself.
Mu Qi asked, "What is 'checking up'?"
What?
A confused expression appeared on Yun Shinian's face.
"It's... I want to know what you're doing at all times through Assistant Li."
After saying this, Yun Shinian lowered her head nervously, worried that Mu Qi would think she was going too far.
"Okay," Mu Qi agreed instantly without further thought.
Huh?
Yun Shinian looked up in disbelief. He agreed so easily?
She should have just said it directly.
"Then give me the phone and go to the company," Yun Shinian pushed her luck.
"Alright, but don't involve Assistant Li." Mu Qi took two quick steps and pulled Yun Shinian into his arms, stroking her head.
"Why? How can I check up on you then?" Yun Shinian suddenly became like a furball of a little lion, her eyes fixed on Mu Qi's, sparks flying.
Mu Qi leaned down to kiss Yun Shinian's forehead. Yun Shinian tried to dodge but couldn't.
"Mu Qi!"
"I'll give you access to the office surveillance," Mu Qi's voice reached Yun Shinian's ears just as she was about to lose her cool.
"You have surveillance in your office?" Yun Shinian asked suspiciously. Sudan Novel Network.
"Yes." If there wasn't, he could install one. Otherwise, he wouldn't need any assistants.
"Then... that's fine too."
Yun Shinian nodded, but then she quickly thought of a loophole.
"What if you go out then?" Yun Shinian questioned Mu Qi intently.
You can video call me anytime.
"Hmm~"
Yun Shinian deliberated for a long time, then agreed.
"Alright."
Mu Qi made a call, and soon Aunt Ning brought the phone up.
Mu Qi took it and handed it to Yun Shinian.
The phone was white, and except for the color, it was identical to Mu Qi's.
Yun Shinian took it and found that Mu Qi's contact information was already saved.
"But, why doesn't Mu Qi's phone have any messaging apps? How can we video call then?"
Yun Shinian questioned Mu Qi, her face showing a clear expression of "Are you trying to trick me?"
