Yun Shunián immediately let go of her wrist and punched the assistant directly in the face. The assistant threw his head back and fell to the ground.
Yun Shunián looked down at the powder on the back of her hand, her face showing undisguised disgust.
At this moment, Mu Qí pushed the door open and walked in.
Yun Shunián glanced at the two pieces of cloth on the assistant and immediately walked to Mu Qí, covering his eyes.
However, this time, Mu Qí immediately grabbed Yun Shunián's hand and said, "Yun Shunián, what are you doing?" His delicate phoenix eyes were filled with a stern, guarded aura.
At this moment, Mu Qí was worried that if he was not careful, he would give Yun Shunián an opportunity to leave him.
This was not something that could be explained in a few words. Yun Shunián anxiously held Mu Qí's forearm and turned him away from the assistant.
As long as he could see Yun Shunián, Mu Qí would feel much more at ease.
So Mu Qí cooperated this time, and Yun Shunián breathed a sigh of relief. "Mu Qí, let's talk outside!"
However, the assistant lying on the ground spoke first. "Mr. Mu, you must do me justice! After I finished making coffee for you, I came in and saw this woman eating in your office.
I was worried she was stealing company secrets, so I asked her to leave. I didn't expect her to push me to the ground."
When the assistant fell to the ground earlier, he had hit his head and hadn't seen or heard anything Yun Shunián and Mu Qí had said or done.
Mu Qí wanted to turn around, but Yun Shunián wouldn't let him.
Mu Qí helplessly took his phone from Yun Shunián's hand.
"Find someone to come to my office." Mu Qí finished speaking and immediately hung up.
"Speak, what's going on?" Mu Qí put his phone in his pocket, his tone filled with a discernible sharpness.
The assistant behind them continued to instigate. Yun Shunián didn't want to argue with the assistant about who was louder, so she beckoned to Mu Qí. "Come a little closer."
This scene was precisely what Shan Gong saw when he came upstairs. Shan Gong immediately thought of a well-known event – "whispering in the ear."
This whispering in the ear was not the sweet, romantic kind; Shan Gong's whispering in the ear was dark.
"Young Master, no!" Shan Gong was afraid that Mu Qí would really lean closer and be... bitten off an ear.
After all, Yun Shunián's image in Shan Gong's mind was that of a black-hearted, poisonous woman, an image that wouldn't change easily.
Mu Qí ignored him and continued to approach Yun Shunián. The situation was not complicated, and Yun Shunián explained it in a few simple words.
Yun Shunián turned her head to look at Shan Gong behind them.
"Shan Gong, hurry and get that person inside out." Yun Shunián frowned and pointed into the office.
Seeing that Shan Gong didn't move, Yun Shunián became anxious. "Hurry up." Thinking of the woman in the room wearing only a few pieces of cloth made Yun Shunián angry. She wondered if Mu Qí had noticed the woman's attire earlier.
Mu Qí gave Shan Gong a look, and Shan Gong immediately went inside.
Judging by Yun Shunián's demeanor, Shan Gong expected to encounter some monstrous beast inside.
"How is she different from all those other women?" Shan Gong muttered to himself as he brought the woman out with his professional restraints.
However, Yun Shunián heard this, and it sounded incredibly grating.
Yun Shunián reached out and pulled Mu Qí's face towards her. "Do the women around you often dress... so scantily?"
Mu Qí thought for a moment. "I haven't noticed."
Haven't noticed? A group of women in just a few pieces of cloth, accompanied by a dark aura, swirled around Yun Shunián's heart. Yun Shunián was extremely annoyed.
"Mu Qí, fire that person just now." Yun Shunián, emanating a dark aura from within, ordered Mu Qí. She didn't even realize how domineering her tone was.
Mu Qí stared at Yun Shunián, lost in thought. Yun Shunián's self-righteous demeanor gave Mu Qí the "illusion" – as if they were one.
Thinking this, Mu Qí forcibly pulled himself out of this dreamlike bubble. But
if he had indulged a little longer, he would have realized that Yun Shunián's actions clearly indicated that she was jealous and disliked the women around him.
"Mu Qí." Yun Shunián's tone was displeased, thinking he didn't want to fire the woman wearing only two pieces of cloth.
"Mm, I know." Seeing that Mu Qí only responded now, Yun Shunián decided she absolutely had to investigate the company tomorrow to see if there were any other women coveting Mu Qí.
She would not let any of them off!
At noon, Mu Qí brought Yun Shunián back to Qí Yuán.
At the dining table, everything was a pleasing golden yellow. However, Yun Shunián, who had been clamoring for crab yesterday, held her knife and fork with both hands, showing no sign of happiness.
She was still upset about the assistant from that morning.
Mu Qí beckoned to Ning Yi to help Yun Shunián with the crab.
Yun Shunián heard this and threw down her knife and fork. "Mu Qí, why aren't you helping me with it?" Was he already impatient with her? Would he stop coming home altogether in a few days, completely abandoning her?
...
Yun Shunián's thoughts spiraled. Unknowingly, tears welled up in her crescent-shaped eyes again.
She wanted to blame Mu Qí but didn't know how to express it. In her past life, Mu Qí had suffered so much more than she had, yet Yun Shunián still couldn't control her emotions.
Seeing this, Mu Qí immediately waved Ning Yi away and began to prepare various crabs for Yun Shunián himself.
Yun Shunián, exhausted, leaned on the table. Suddenly, she felt that she was being too petty.
Mu Qí was so outstanding; how could he not have some admirers around him? But couldn't she be Mu Qí's only one? Wasn't she already Mu Qí's wife?
...
Unknowingly, Yun Shunián had trapped herself in a dead end. She didn't even realize when Mu Qí had finished preparing the crab meat and placed it beside her.
It wasn't until Yun Shunián leaned down and her elbow bumped the plate full of crab meat that she snapped back to reality.
Yun Shunián immediately picked up her knife and fork and reached for the crab meat.
Mu Qí watched Yun Shunián eat what he had prepared, feeling a sense of confusion. Mu Qí thought Yun Shunián wouldn't touch anything he had handled, but now...
Mu Qí found himself understanding Yun Shunián less and less.
Mu Qí thought for a moment, put down his knife and fork, and walked over to Yun Shunián, wanting to know what was wrong with her. "Yun Shunián, is being with me that much of a hardship?" After getting married, she had already shed tears several times in just a few days.
Yun Shunián didn't think much of it. She just remembered the annoying assistant from that morning and immediately nodded. "Yes, it's very hard."
