Mu Qi hesitated, a rare occurrence.
His phoenix eyes seemed to ignite with flames.
Yun Shuxuan watched his dark, deep eyes, her heart pounding wildly.
"Darling." Affection welled up in Yun Shuxuan's throat, finally condensing into these three words.
Mu Qi's pupils dilated, his face stunned, thinking he had misheard.
"What did you call me?" Mu Qi's voice was a little hoarse.
Yun Shuxuan's face was stiff, and she was nervously unsure of how to react. She didn't know why the playful words she usually used for Mu Qi came so easily, but now she was so nervous she could barely speak. Su Dan Novel Network.
"Dar-darling." After a moment, Yun Shuxuan finally gathered her courage and spoke the three words again.
"Trying to appease me?" Mu Qi's lips curved slightly, his phoenix eyes as deep as the sea.
"Mhm." Yun Shuxuan nodded as if mesmerized.
Mu Qi wrapped his arms around Yun Shuxuan's waist and lifted her from the bed. "Come on."
"Ah?" Looking at Mu Qi so close, Yun Shuxuan was utterly bewildered by his sudden statement.
"Didn't you want to appease me? Come on." Mu Qi stroked Yun Shuxuan's head, his eyes filled with unconcealable indulgence.
Appease him.
Yun Shuxuan silently repeated the three words in her heart.
Her already nervous mood grew even more so, feeling as though the sweat on her palms was about to form a puddle.
Mu Qi, whose eyes were solely on Yun Shuxuan, naturally sensed her stiff body and nervous mood.
Assuming Yun Shuxuan was acting this way because she was worried he wouldn't take her to the hospital tomorrow, Mu Qi stroked her hair and said indulgently,
"Sleep early. I'll take you to the hospital tomorrow."
After speaking, Mu Qi, worried that his continued presence might make Yun Shuxuan uncomfortable, immediately got up and walked out.
Yun Shuxuan had not expected Mu Qi to leave so abruptly. She had been anticipating this afternoon!
A massive sense of disappointment washed over Yun Shuxuan.
Yun Shuxuan instinctively grabbed Mu Qi's arm. "Don't go."
When it didn't involve Mu Qi's boundaries, he always listened to Yun Shuxuan. Moreover, he was the one who wanted to be close to Yun Shuxuan all the time.
"What is it?" Mu Qi hadn't considered that Yun Shuxuan wanted to continue appeasing him; he thought she had something else on her mind.
"Sit here." Being looked down upon by Mu Qi made Yun Shuxuan feel exposed.
Mu Qi sat back down beside Yun Shuxuan as she wished.
"What is it?" Mu Qi's old, taut string seemed to snap almost immediately.
All sorts of negative emotions swirled in his mind.
Did she want a divorce again?
Or did she want to go find Zuo Nan?
Unknowingly, Mu Qi frowned, a cold aura emanating from him.
Shivering from the chill, Yun Shuxuan's initial nervousness began to dissipate.
Ignoring everything, she lunged at Mu Qi.
Yun Shuxuan had intended to push Mu Qi onto the bed, but Mu Qi's entire body was as rigid as a hot iron. Yun Shuxuan couldn't budge him at all.
Yun Shuxuan wrapped her arms around Mu Qi and pressed her lips to his.
Mu Qi looked at Yun Shuxuan's fluttering eyelashes, felt the softness on his lips, and for a moment, his mind went blank. The taut string, however, remained tightly wound.
Sensing no movement from Mu Qi, Yun Shuxuan nervously opened her eyes.
The innocent, alluring charm in her gaze struck Mu Qi to the core.
However, Mu Qi still remembered that Yun Shuxuan had called him back but hadn't said what she wanted.
So, Mu Qi swallowed hard and pushed Yun Shuxuan away.
"What did you want to say just now?" Mu Qi stared intently at her, as if trying to bore a hole through her.
"Does this still need to be said?" Yun Shuxuan avoided Mu Qi's gaze and mumbled softly, her expression resentful.
It wasn't supposed to be like this in the novel. The male protagonists in novels were supposed to have very little willpower when facing the heroine!
Could it be that she wasn't the heroine?
Her mood soured at the thought.
It definitely wasn't like this.
If she was a little more proactive, Mu Qi would surely yield!
Yes, that's it!
Thinking this, Yun Shuxuan placed her hands on her buttons, lowered her head, her face flushing, and unbuttoned them one by one.
This action, in Mu Qi's eyes, was a blatant seduction!
What could possibly be so important that it drove her to this extent?
"What do you want?" Mu Qi suddenly grabbed Yun Shuxuan's hand.
The grip was so strong that Yun Shuxuan winced in pain. Her shyness instantly vanished, replaced by a sense of shame.
Her intentions were so obvious, how could Mu Qi not see?
Yun Shuxuan was annoyed.
It was always the man who took the initiative in these matters. Did he not care because she was being proactive?
Yun Shuxuan was furious. She wanted to bite Mu Qi's hand, but after grinding her teeth, she ultimately couldn't bring herself to do it.
She had already injured Mu Qi once. If he were to bleed again, Yun Shuxuan would probably bite herself to feel better.
"What do you want?" The more Yun Shuxuan remained silent, the more uneasy Mu Qi became. His heart was pounding like a drum, and his body was stiff.
"How can I possibly say... something like this..." Yun Shuxuan's voice was so low that she could barely hear it herself.
Mu Qi, however, heard it clearly.
What was it?
The accumulated unease turned into a thick obsession, and Mu Qi began to lose control of his emotions.
He forcefully pulled Yun Shuxuan towards him, covered her lips, and began to invade her forcefully. His hands crept behind her waist, and his teeth even broke her lip.
Yun Shuxuan cried out in pain, a few tears welling up. She placed her hands on Mu Qi's chest and pushed him away with all her might.
She had thought it wouldn't be difficult to push Mu Qi away with her strength, but she hadn't expected that even with the strength she used to give birth, Mu Qi still held her tightly, unmoving.
After struggling for several minutes with no success, Yun Shuxuan completely gave up the idea of pushing Mu Qi away.
Being utterly unable to control the invasion by Mu Qi, Yun Shuxuan felt an intense sense of helplessness.
Finally, a few tears merged into streams of salty liquid, entering both their mouths.
Stimulated by the salty taste, Mu Qi saw the vulnerable Yun Shuxuan before him, and she entered his heart.
Mu Qi realized what he had done and abruptly released Yun Shuxuan.
