*Bang, bang—*
Aunt Ning carried the plate while Yun Shunnian tapped on the door.
However, a long time passed, and no sound came from Mu Qi's side.
Yun Shunnian gestured for Aunt Ning to open the door. Aunt Ning hesitated for a moment before finally opening it for Yun Shunnian. Aunt Ning knew that no matter what, their young master would be happy to see their young madam coming to find him and wouldn't say anything.
Yun Shunnian carried the plate and carefully poked her head in. "Mu Qi?" Not seeing Mu Qi at his desk, Yun Shunnian walked a few steps forward, only to discover that Mu Qi had fallen asleep on the sofa next to it.
Yun Shunnian tiptoed over, placed the plate in her hand on Mu Qi's desk, and then turned to walk towards Mu Qi.
Aunt Ning watched Yun Shunnian place the cola chicken wings on the desk. She was about to speak but immediately covered her mouth.
Mu Qi had established a rule: no food was allowed in the study. But at this moment, speaking out would definitely wake Mu Qi, and Aunt Ning knew which was more important.
Aunt Ning watched Mu Qi and Yun Shunnian get closer and quietly closed the door, giving the two of them time alone.
Yun Shunnian walked to Mu Qi and squatted down. The sleeping Mu Qi looked very well-behaved, reminding Yun Shunnian of Mu Qi in the wine cellar. Gradually, Yun Shunnian became bolder.
Yun Shunnian reached out and poked Mu Qi's cheek. "Bad guy." There was no blame in Yun Shunnian's tone, only affection.
At this moment, Mu Qi's profile gradually overlapped with the Mu Qi who had fallen into Yun Shunnian's arms in the previous life. Yun Shunnian's hand brushed over the lips that had once bled, then moved down, brushing over the wounds that had once bled.
Yun Shunnian was confirming whether Mu Qi in this life had not yet suffered such serious injuries because of her.
Yun Shunnian was focusing intently, completely unaware that Mu Qi's eyelashes were trembling slightly.
By the time she reached Mu Qi's chest, Yun Shunnian's crescent-shaped eyes were already filling with tears.
However, because of this, Yun Shunnian did not notice that her legs had gone numb, and she promptly collapsed onto Mu Qi's chest.
This time, Yun Shunnian was completely pulled out of her past life. All that remained in her mind was the jumbled sound of her heartbeat echoing in her head.
Yun Shunnian took a moment to recover and slowly got up from Mu Qi. But her legs were so numb that she soon fell back onto Mu Qi.
Having spent the entire afternoon toiling in the kitchen, Yun Shunnian let out a deep sigh and became completely still.
They were husband and wife. What was wrong with her lying on Mu Qi?
Yun Shunnian fumbled with Mu Qi's shoulder, even raising her legs onto Mu Qi's body.
Yun Shunnian felt much better, nestling contentedly against Mu Qi's chest.
After resting for a while, she would get off Mu Qi, wake him up, and let him taste her cola chicken wings.
"Yun Shunnian, what are you doing?" Just as Yun Shunnian had everything perfectly planned, Mu Qi's icy voice suddenly came from above her head.
Yun Shunnian slowly looked up, gazing at Mu Qi pitifully. "My legs are numb."
Upon hearing this, Mu Qi supported Yun Shunnian, intending to get up, but was stopped by Yun Shunnian.
"Hey, no, don't move." Yun Shunnian feigned discomfort and resisted. Mu Qi immediately stopped.
"Mu Qi, I need to rest a little longer." Yun Shunnian thought: This was a great opportunity to seduce Mu Qi, and she absolutely couldn't miss it.
Yun Shunnian fumbled with Mu Qi's shoulders, sliding herself upwards until she could look directly into Mu Qi's eyes.
However, Mu Qi turned his head away. Yun Shunnian reached out and cupped Mu Qi's cheeks, forcing him to look at her. "Mu Qi, are you still angry?"
Mu Qi did not speak, his eyes filled with Yun Shunnian.
Yun Shunnian thought Mu Qi had tacitly agreed and began to implement Aunt Ning's plan.
"Mu Qi, I made cola chicken wings to apologize. Won't you forgive me~" Yun Shunnian tilted her head, using a childish voice to coax Mu Qi.
"Does it matter if I'm angry or not? Yun Shunnian, what do you really want?" It was undeniable that Yun Shunnian in this state made Mu Qi feel overwhelmed with joy.
However, Mu Qi didn't understand Yun Shunnian's intentions, so he was afraid that one day Yun Shunnian would suddenly realize she couldn't find what she wanted from him and immediately push him away.
"I want... I want you." After saying that, Yun Shunnian shyly buried her face in Mu Qi's neck.
Her entire body was surging with affection and shyness. Yun Shunnian suddenly realized that she had never felt this way about Zuo Nan.
In her previous life, she had been blinded by Zuo Nan, only because of his gentle appearance and sweet talk.
But Mu Qi was different. Mu Qi made Yun Shunnian's heart flutter, made her face turn into a blushing apple, made her shy to look at Mu Qi directly, and made her intolerant of Mu Qi having any closeness with other women...
Listening to Yun Shunnian's words and feeling the soft, light weight on him, Mu Qi's heart accelerated uncontrollably.
Even though, rationally, Mu Qi couldn't believe what Yun Shunnian was saying.
"Yun Shunnian, don't lie to me, and don't lie to yourself. Other than leaving me, just tell me what you want directly, and I'll give you anything."
Mu Qi's voice was very gentle, lacking any sharpness, but Yun Shunnian felt a pang in her heart.
She anxiously wanted to confirm Mu Qi's feelings. "Mu Qi, do you love me?"
It should be, shouldn't it? Otherwise, why would Mu Qi indulge her so much? Yun Shunnian thought about this obvious question with some uncertainty.
She worried it was all her own wishful thinking.
The more love there is, the greater the fear of losing it. Yun Shunnian probably hadn't realized yet that she already loved Mu Qi very, very much.
"Mu Qi, say something!" Yun Shunnian looked at Mu Qi, who was lowering his gaze in thought, and became increasingly uneasy.
Finally, Mu Qi looked up at Yun Shunnian. "I don't know what kind of love you're talking about. But I want only me to be the man by your side, and besides divorce, I can satisfy whatever you want."
"Yun Shunnian, let's leave it at that. Look at me more, and you'll realize I'm not that bad, right?" Mu Qi involuntarily reached out and caressed Yun Shunnian's cheek.
Mu Qi once again laid his heart bare before Yun Shunnian, ready to be discarded like worn-out shoes once more.
