Yun Shounian came to her senses and glanced at Yun Rong not far away. "I'm going to talk to my sister."
Mu Qi followed Yun Shounian's gaze and looked towards Yun Rong. However, Yun Shounian immediately cupped Mu Qi's face and turned it away. "You're not allowed to look!"
Mu Qi frowned and recalled the fleeting scene. His expression cleared only after he confirmed that Zuo Nan was not in it.
"Mu Qi, you're looking at Yun Rong again!" Yun Shounian's tone was displeased, revealing her little canine teeth.
Mu Qi was captivated by Yun Shounian's little canine teeth, staring intently at her pearly white ones. As a result, he didn't hear what Yun Shounian was saying.
It wasn't until Yun Shounian became angry and shouted in his ear, "Mu Qi, did you hear me?"
Fortunately, loud music was playing at Yun Rong's birthday party. Yun Shounian's voice only entered Mu Qi's mind. Su Dan Novel Network
Otherwise, Mu Qi's image of being henpecked would have become deeply ingrained.
Mu Qi's gaze returned to Yun Shounian's face. "Huh?"
Yun Shounian glared fiercely at Mu Qi, then leaned in and threatened him in his ear, "If I catch you looking at Yun Rong again, be careful... I'll make sure you can't get out of bed!"
Yun Shounian thought for a long time, but couldn't come up with a suitable threat, so she resorted to a classic line from a domineering CEO.
After speaking, Yun Shounian turned and walked towards Yun Rong and Wang Yafeng.
Mu Qi watched Yun Shounian's figure, which haunted his dreams, lost in thought for a long time.
Years of frozen ice began to quietly melt.
Mu Qi's appearance now was no different from his usual cold and stunning demeanor. However, if anyone had seen the focused gaze Mu Qi directed at Yun Shounian, they would have sensed the tenderness hidden deep within his heart.
Only when Yun Shounian's figure completely disappeared from Mu Qi's sight did the temperature around him drop back to zero.
"Shan Gong." Mu Qi spoke to Shan Gong, who was not far away.
Shan Gong, with his exceptional hearing, immediately walked over. "Young Master." Shan Gong's expression was serious, assuming Mu Qi had an important task for him.
"Shan Gong, what did the last sentence mean?" Mu Qi asked calmly, taking a sip of water from his cup.
The last sentence, what last sentence...
Shan Gong racked his brain, and an answer instantly came to him.
The last sentence Yun Shounian said was...
At this thought, Shan Gong's serious expression shifted slightly. Then, with a hint of hesitation, he leaned into Mu Qi's ear and explained in a whisper.
Upon hearing this, Mu Qi's eternally icy face began to crack, and the cracks grew wider and wider.
Shan Gong looked at Mu Qi's suppressed smile and couldn't help but lament. Their young master, who stood on a pedestal, was still pulled down by that troublesome little Yun Shounian.
Only when someone approached did Mu Qi slowly retract his gaze. He drained the cup in his hand.
...
After warning Mu Qi, Yun Shounian approached Yun Rong and Wang Yafeng. "Sister, is there anything else?"
Yun Rong was still thinking about the intimate scene between Yun Shounian and Mu Qi earlier, and hadn't quite recovered from her intense jealousy.
"Sister?" Yun Shounian asked again.
Seeing that Yun Rong was still not speaking, Wang Yafeng anxiously nudged Yun Rong's arm.
Yun Rong finally snapped back to attention. "Oh, it's nothing, Niannian. I just haven't seen you in a while and wanted to chat more." Yun Rong's smile didn't reach her eyes as she pulled Yun Shounian towards the lounge area.
Yun Shounian silently glared at Yun Rong's hand on her arm. She subtly avoided it and leaned towards Wang Yafeng, who was closer to her.
"Sister, what did you want to talk about?" Yun Shounian asked, sandwiched between Yun Rong and Wang Yafeng.
A moment of silence hung in the air. Soon, Yun Rong picked up a small cake from the table and offered it to Yun Shounian with feigned concern. "Look at you, you haven't been eating well these past few days, have you? You've lost weight."
"It's alright." Yun Shounian looked at the scene, which was identical to how it had been in her past life, and the same small cake. She replied perfunctorily, without much interest.
Yun Shounian poked at the cream with her fork, not bothering to hide her disgusted expression.
Yun Shounian knew that at this moment, the two of them were too busy plotting against her to notice her current expression.
"Niannian, why don't you eat here for a bit? Your Yafeng sister and I have something to do, so we'll be leaving now." As Yun Shounian poked at the cake, Yun Rong suddenly pulled Wang Yafeng and started to leave.
Yun Shounian obediently replied, "Okay."
Yun Rong and Wang Yafeng exchanged a knowing glance, then walked towards the center of the stage.
However, halfway there, Yun Shounian suddenly called out to them from behind. Yun Rong and Wang Yafeng, guilty consciences awakened, were startled by Yun Shounian's voice.
"Sister, Sister Yafeng. Come and take these." Yun Shounian handed the two small cakes she was holding to Yun Rong and Wang Yafeng respectively, then raised her phone to take a picture.
"Alright, I won't disturb you two sisters anymore. Goodbye!"
The two watched Yun Shounian's retreating back with an inexplicable wariness. They exchanged a knowing glance and proceeded towards the main stage.
"Everyone, please listen. Something rather unpleasant has happened. My friend Yafeng's bracelet is missing.
Our staff will now conduct a thorough inspection of everyone's belongings. Please cooperate." Yun Rong announced from the main stage to the audience below.
The crowd below immediately became chaotic. However, no one refused, as the request was not entirely unreasonable. People in this social circle were very concerned about their reputation, so they allowed the inspection.
After speaking, Yun Rong and Wang Yafeng, with practiced coordination, walked towards Yun Shounian.
"Niannian, take it out. The staff just told me everything," Yun Rong said condescendingly, looking down at Yun Shounian on the sofa.
"Sister, what are you talking about?" Yun Shounian asked innocently and obediently.
Seeing Yun Shounian's confused expression, Yun Rong continued, "Niannian, I know you took Yafeng's bracelet. If it were anything else, I could give it to you, but that bracelet isn't ours! Niannian."
Yun Rong looked at Yun Shounian, speaking with a seemingly understanding and earnest tone.
Seeing this, Wang Yafeng quickly chimed in, "Yes, sister. If it were an ordinary item, it would be fine, but that is the token of love between me and Young Master Zhang."
Soon, a crowd gathered around them. Everyone was eager to watch the drama, and they chattered amongst themselves.
"Who took me and Fengfeng's token of love?" A voice boomed, and a man with brightly colored hair and a scar on his cheek approached the three of them.
