"I'm not angry," Mu Qi explained sullenly. Mu Qi just wanted to know how close Yun Shunnian could accept him to be.
"Then what do you want?" Yun Shunnian imitated Mu Qi's previous demeanor, approaching him step by step.
Until the distance between them was zero.
Yun Shunnian tilted her head up, looking at Mu Qi's jawline, and rested her chin on his chest.
"Hmm? Mr. Mu, what do you want?"
It is only when a person realizes the possibility of being favored that they act coquettish. This is Yun Shunnian's situation in front of Mu Qi now. It's just that Yun Shunnian, who has fallen in love, hasn't figured it out yet.
Mu Qi suddenly chuckled lowly.
Yun Shunnian took a step back, looking at Mu Qi's smile in surprise.
So he could be so close to Yun Shunnian, which also meant he could hug Yun Shunnian?
Mu Qi tentatively reached out and pulled Yun Shunnian into his arms.
Yun Shunnian was still immersed in the shock of a warm sun emerging from an iceberg. By the time she came to her senses, her breath was already filled with Mu Qi's crisp, clean scent.
Yun Shunnian reached out and hugged Mu Qi as well, giving Aunt Ning a thumbs-up in her heart. Not only had she appeased Mu Qi today, but she had also received a hug from Mu Qi. She was really happy.
As expected, the older the ginger, the spicier it is.
Mu Qi felt the gentle pressure around his waist, as if encouraged, he held Yun Shunnian even tighter.
...
Three days later, Mu Qi went to the company, and Yun Shunnian was much better.
However, this time Mu Qi hired a female bodyguard, Shi Jia, to stay by Yun Shunnian's side at all times.
Yun Shunnian had no objections to this. If this could put Mu Qi at ease, Yun Shunnian could completely accept it.
"Aunt Ning, we're leaving." Yun Shunnian closed the lid of the insulated box, and Shi Jia took it.
This time, it was food prepared by chefs. Yun Shunnian planned to take it to Mu Qi's company as a surprise for him.
"Young Madam, you've just recovered. Don't rush. Please take care," Aunt Ning said as she saw them getting ready, giving her final instructions.
Aunt Ning had seen Yun Shunnian and Mu Qi getting along better and better these past few days, and she genuinely considered Yun Shunnian to be the young madam of the Mu family.
"Don't worry, Aunt Ning," Yun Shunnian nodded in agreement and went out with Shi Jia.
However, when they arrived at Mu Corporation, they were stopped by the receptionist.
"May I ask who you are looking for?" the receptionist asked, blocking Yun Shunnian.
"I'm looking for Mu Qi."
The receptionist continued, "Do you have an appointment?"
"An appointment?" Yun Shunnian hadn't expected it to be so troublesome. She glanced at Shi Jia, who was looking straight ahead, and shook her head. Mu Qi wouldn't give Yun Shunnian a phone, so naturally, he didn't allow Shi Jia to bring one either.
Seeing that Yun Shunnian couldn't answer, the receptionist's expression turned unfriendly. "Our CEO isn't someone anyone can just see."
"If you're trying to climb the social ladder, you should find another target," the receptionist said with disdain.
Yun Shunnian: "..."
"You misunderstood. I am Mu Qi's wife. I don't need to climb any social ladder; I'm already on it."
"You? Our CEO's wife? Hmph!" The receptionist looked Yun Shunnian up and down with a look of disdain.
In the receptionist's impression, the CEO's wife should match President Mu's status. She would definitely be elegantly made up and adorned with gold and silver, not like Yun Shunnian, who wore light makeup and casual, comfortable clothes.
Yun Shunnian: "..." It was their CEO who forced her into marriage!
"Miss Yun, why are you here?" Shan Gong, who was about to go up to find Mu Qi, was surprised to see Yun Shunnian. He secretly wondered if Yun Shunnian was being restless again.
"Hey, Shan Gong, quickly take me up to see Mu Qi." Seeing Shan Gong, the dark clouds over Yun Shunnian's head instantly dispersed.
Shan Gong had witnessed the intimate relationship between Yun Shunnian and Mu Qi these past few days. No matter what, Shan Gong couldn't refuse Yun Shunnian's request, or he feared Mu Qi would hold him accountable.
"This way, Miss Yun," Shan Gong pointed the way for Yun Shunnian and then walked behind her, in case Yun Shunnian suddenly ran away.
"Wait a moment," Yun Shunnian suddenly called out to Shan Gong.
Shan Gong's body immediately tensed up in defense.
"Shan Gong, I am married to Mu Qi, right?" Yun Shunnian asked Shan Gong.
Shan Gong remained silent. Although Shan Gong was very reluctant to admit it, their young master had indeed gotten his marriage certificate with Yun Shunnian.
"Then shouldn't you change how you address me and call me Young Madam?" Yun Shunnian said coaxingly.
Shan Gong didn't know what Yun Shunnian was up to, but seeing more and more eyes focused on them, and concerned about the negative impact, he immediately called Yun Shunnian "Young Madam." He silently prayed that Yun Shunnian wouldn't cause any trouble.
The receptionist, hearing that Shan Gong, a prominent figure around their CEO, had acknowledged Yun Shunnian's identity, immediately covered her mouth in panic.
Yun Shunnian: "Then remember to address me like that in the future."
Before Shan Gong could respond, he was interrupted by the same receptionist.
"Madam, I was wrong. I just didn't recognize you. Please give me another chance. I promise I will never disrespect you again." The receptionist bowed deeply to Yun Shunnian.
Shan Gong frowned as more people gathered, wanting to take Yun Shunnian away immediately. "Young Madam, let's go quickly. You can go up and tell the Young Master your arrangements directly." The Young Master would definitely indulge her anyway.
Hearing this, Yun Shunnian, who also wanted to see Mu Qi quickly, agreed.
The receptionist watched their retreating backs with a dejected expression.
However, at this moment, Yun Shunnian suddenly turned her head back: "Don't worry, I'll ask Mu Qi to give you a raise." Such a treasure of a receptionist could block so many love rivals for her!
Yun Shunnian thought to herself as she followed Shan Gong forward.
The receptionist looked at Yun Shunnian's receding figure with disbelief as she gradually disappeared at the elevator.
Since Mu Qi was not present, Yun Shunnian could not use the CEO's private elevator, so she was considerably delayed. Inside the elevator, Yun Shunnian paced back and forth with anticipation.
Finally, as Yun Shunnian grew increasingly nervous, the elevator doors opened, arriving at Mu Qi's floor.
Yun Shunnian walked quickly to Mu Qi's office and was about to open the door when she suddenly stopped.
Yun Shunnian raised her hand and tidied her hair. After confirming it was neat, she slowly knocked on Mu Qi's office door.
Shan Gong couldn't help but roll his eyes. Last month, her drawing looked like a ghost; had she forgotten? Did she still care about her image now?
"Come in," Mu Qi's voice came from the office.
