"Why?" the people in front of Yun Shunnian questioned.
Anyone whose mood had been thrown to the peak like a roller coaster and then suddenly plummeted would feel indignant.
Yun Shunnian could understand, but she wouldn't tolerate these people for another second.
"Because I am Mrs. Mu. And you dare to covet my husband." Yun Shunnian's expression instantly turned cold.
The assistants in front of Yun Shunnian felt as if they had been toyed with. Relying on their numbers, they continued to question Yun Shunnian, "Heh, you? What do you have? How could our President Mu possibly fancy you?"
The assistants, with their arms crossed, began to surround Yun Shunnian.
Just as Yun Shunnian was about to teach these audacious women a lesson, a familiar and icy voice sounded from behind the group, "Move aside!"
Ever since Yun Shunnian had mentioned disliking someone in the company at noon, Mu Qi had been monitoring the office cameras whenever he attended meetings, worried that Yun Shunnian might be bullied.
To his surprise, halfway through a meeting, he saw these assistants surrounding the person dearest to his heart. Seeing this, Mu Qi immediately disregarded the executives in the conference room and headed towards his own office.
Upon hearing the voice, the assistants froze. They lowered their arms to their sides and stood obediently to one side.
Seeing Mu Qi, Yun Shunnian immediately rushed towards him, "Hubby~" Yun Shunnian pinched her voice, making it sound wronged and pitiful.
Mu Qi's heart trembled at the two words.
Yun Shunnian buried her head in Mu Qi's chest and sniffled as if it were a serious matter, "Hubby, they bullied me."
The assistants standing nearby were stunned. None of them expected their President Mu to not push Yun Shunnian away.
Mu Qi looked up at the nine people beside him, his face cold and grim, "I will not let them appear before you again."
As Mu Qi finished speaking, the assistants lowered their heads, not daring to make a sound.
"Mu Qi, do you fancy me or not?" Yun Shunnian nestled into Mu Qi's chest. She was acting coy.
Mu Qi was dazed and looked down at Yun Shunnian's fluffy head. Yun Shunnian's words had come too quickly, and Mu Qi didn't understand what she meant.
Yun Shunnian continued, "Mu Qi, they said you don't fancy me."
Mu Qi remained silent. The soft person in his arms severely affected his rational thinking.
Yun Shunnian was displeased. She raised her head and questioned Mu Qi, "Mu Qi, don't you fancy me?"
Mu Qi responded hesitantly after a moment, "I do." There was no perfunctoriness in Mu Qi's tone; instead, it was filled with the helplessness and bewilderment of being in love.
Yun Shunnian was satisfied.
Yun Shunnian pulled away from Mu Qi's embrace, and Mu Qi walked towards the group who had just "bullied" Yun Shunnian.
"Go to the HR department immediately to process your resignations and never set foot in any Mu Corporation premises again. If I see you again, you won't be leaving as unscathed as you are today."
The tyrannical Mu Qi had appeared. How dared the little assistants with their heads bowed to confront Mu Qi? The nine of them immediately broke out in a cold sweat and obediently walked out of Mu Qi's office.
...
At this moment, Yun Shunnian's eyes were filled with Mu Qi's retreating figure, and little hearts were springing from her crescent eyes.
"Mu Qi, you're so handsome!" Yun Shunnian, smitten by Mu Qi, rushed towards him, wrapping her legs around his waist, and her dark red lips landed on Mu Qi's face, leaving several lipstick marks.
Just as Yun Shunnian was about to fall off Mu Qi, he quickly reached out to support her.
When Yun Shunnian's excitement gradually subsided, she realized how rash her actions had been.
Looking at the lipstick marks on Mu Qi's face, Yun Shunnian felt "a little" guilty and flustered.
Yun Shunnian struggled to get off Mu Qi, her guilty conscience prompting her to explain, "I was just a little excited."
"Mm. I'll go to the meeting first." Mu Qi, his mind in a turmoil, turned and went to the conference room.
As Mu Qi left the office, he lightly touched the spot Yun Shunnian had kissed. This deepened his conviction: she really liked his face.
"Ow~" Yun Shunnian lightly tapped her head.
After Mu Qi left, Yun Shunnian inadvertently thought of the lipstick marks on his face and immediately prepared to chase after him. However, realizing that Mu Qi should have already reached the conference room by now, she stopped.
...
In the conference room, everyone watched as their CEO walked in with his face covered in lipstick marks. No one dared to say anything, but they couldn't help but glance at him a few extra times.
By the end of the meeting and after everyone had left, only Mu Qi and the President's Special Assistant, who was sitting beside him, remained in the conference room.
Assistant Li pointed to his cheek, "President Mu, on your face..."
By this time, Mu Qi was completely immersed in work, "Speak plainly."
"President Mu, there are lipstick marks on your face." After speaking, the assistant immediately took out a wet wipe from her bag.
"President Mu, would you like to wipe it off?"
Mu Qi ignored Assistant Li and immediately turned back to his office. Only when he saw Yun Shunnian in the office, eating something and laughing heartily at a comedy on her phone, did Mu Qi relax.
"Mu Qi, you're back." Hearing the door open, Yun Shunnian stretched on the sofa. However, when her gaze landed on the lipstick marks on Mu Qi's face, her heart skipped a beat.
Yun Shunnian quickly grabbed a wet wipe from the table and walked towards Mu Qi.
"Uh... Mu Qi, you've worked hard. Wipe off your sweat." Yun Shunnian didn't know if Mu Qi would be angry about the marks on his face, so she found a veiled excuse.
Mu Qi caught Yun Shunnian's slender white hand, which was struggling to wipe his face, "Just wiping sweat?"
Mu Qi's tone gave no indication of whether he was angry or not. Yun Shunnian swallowed and hesitantly told the truth, "No, there are lipstick marks too."
Yun Shunnian lowered her head, no longer daring to meet Mu Qi's eyes, "It wasn't intentional, Mu Qi."
