Chapter 38 Yun Shu Nian's Friend Ji Yi

"Why aren't you coming over?" Mu Qi turned and saw Yun Shu Nian standing at the corner, then walked towards her.

Yun Shu Nian shook her head. She had gone too far today and didn't want to anger Mu Qi anymore.

Mu Qi took the medicine from Yun Shu Nian's hand and led her out by the hand.

Yun Shu Nian lowered her head, following behind Mu Qi with a listless expression.

When Yun Shu Nian returned with the medicine, she saw Mu Qi standing at the payment window, talking to the nurse. This made Yun Shu Nian, who was already worried about Mu Qi and wanted to let go, feel even worse.

Did Mu Qi really think she wasn't that great anymore?

They didn't speak a word to each other all the way back. When they reached home, Yun Shu Nian, uncharacteristically, ignored Mu Qi and went straight to the master bedroom.

Aunt Ning thought they had argued again. She shook her head with a heavy heart and returned to her own room.

Only Mu Qi looked in the direction of the master bedroom, and after a long while, he got up and went to the study.

The next morning, dark clouds were spread evenly across the sky, making the usually vibrant Qi Yuan feel lifeless.

In the hall, Aunt Ning saw Mu Qi, who was not in the mood to read the newspaper and kept staring in the direction of the master bedroom. She knew what was on his mind.

"Young Master, why don't you eat first? I'll go and call Miss Yun," Aunt Ning said. Seeing that Mu Qi still didn't move, she sighed and turned to go upstairs.

"Miss Yun. Breakfast is ready. Why don't you eat something first? Eat until you're full and then sleep!" After speaking, Aunt Ning put her ear to the door, listening carefully for Yun Shu Nian's response.

Just as Aunt Ning thought Yun Shu Nian wouldn't respond.

A weak voice finally came from the room, "Aunt Ning, I'm still very sleepy, so I won't eat." Yun Shu Nian was facing away from Aunt Ning, looking at the gloomy sky outside. The sorrow in her crescent eyes seemed about to overflow.

Aunt Ning opened her mouth, wanting to say something but stopping. She understood that if Yun Shu Nian truly didn't want to come down for breakfast, no amount of persuasion would be effective.

Aunt Ning went downstairs and stood beside Mu Qi, "Young Master, Miss Yun says she's sleepy and doesn't want to eat. Please eat first."

Mu Qi put down the newspaper he hadn't even looked at and furrowed his brows.

Anyone else might have believed Yun Shu Nian's excuse, but Mu Qi, who watched her every moment, couldn't help but notice that Yun Shu Nian had been acting strangely since she returned from the pharmacy.

"Tell the kitchen to keep the meals ready at all times. Call her again in an hour. If she still doesn't eat, call me," Mu Qi instructed Aunt Ning, then took his briefcase and returned to the company.

Aunt Ning looked at Mu Qi's retreating back, unsure whether to be glad that there was finally someone in this world he cared about, or to be sad that there was someone in this world whose weight in his heart surpassed his own.

-------------------------------------

An hour later, Aunt Ning went upstairs on time and knocked on the master bedroom door, "Miss Yun, are you hungry?"

However, this time Aunt Ning waited and waited, but still received no reply from Yun Shu Nian. With Mu Qi not around, Aunt Ning worried that Yun Shu Nian might do something foolish.

Helplessly, Aunt Ning gently pushed open the door, intending to check if Yun Shu Nian was just asleep. Su Dan Novel Network

Aunt Ning tiptoed to Yun Shu Nian's bedside. However, when Aunt Ning lifted the white goose-down quilt, she didn't see Yun Shu Nian's figure.

Upon seeing this, Aunt Ning immediately rushed to the landline downstairs and called Mu Qi, "Sir, Miss Yun is gone!"

The sound of a pen being snapped in half came from the other end of the phone.

...

In a secluded corner of the most luxurious milk tea shop in the capital, Yun Shu Nian sat facing a stunningly beautiful woman.

The woman's name was Ji Yi, and she was Yun Shu Nian's best friend from school. However, when Yun Shu Nian insisted on being with Zuo Nan, Ji Yi saw through Zuo Nan's true nature and sincerely advised Yun Shu Nian.

At that time, the two of them were driven apart by Yun Rong and Zuo Nan, and Yun Shu Nian directly cut off ties with Yun Rong.

"Miss Yun, what made you think of me today?" Ji Yi leaned back, looking at Yun Shu Nian with an unhurried expression.

Yun Shu Nian bit her straw and curled her lips, "I just missed you."

Ji Yi looked at Yun Shu Nian with disdain, but couldn't help but ask with concern, "Alright, what's wrong? Did Zuo Nan make you do something again?"

"It has nothing to do with that b*tch. It's... related to Mu Qi." Mentioning Zuo Nan, Yun Shu Nian frowned and glossed over it.

"Oh, so Miss Yun's eyes have finally opened!" Ji Yi teased her unceremoniously.

"Don't be angry. I know I was wrong, I just misjudged people."

Yun Shu Nian stood up and walked directly to Ji Yi, tugging at her sleeve.

However, Yun Shu Nian didn't expect Ji Yi to react so strongly, jumping up immediately, "Yun Shu Nian, since when did you become so good at acting cute?" Ji Yi looked at Yun Shu Nian as if she had seen a ghost.

Yun Shu Nian thought for a moment, "It seems like I... learned it unintentionally in front of Mu Qi."

Ji Yi became interested. Yun Shu Nian, who had always been distraught over Zuo Nan, suddenly acting coquettish in front of the cold-faced demon Mu Qi was a huge visual impact!

"Quick, tell me, what happened?" Ji Yi propped her chin with her hands, looking at Yun Shu Nian with excitement.

Seeing this, Yun Shu Nian sat back down, "Last night, I called him and heard Yun Rong's voice."

"And then?" Ji Yi looked at Yun Shu Nian, not understanding. What was so difficult to understand about this? It was normal for Yun Rong, who liked Mu Qi so much, to appear around him.

"Last night, Mu Qi and I went to the hospital, and I saw him talking to a nurse," Yun Shu Nian said with a pout and a sad expression.

"So?" Ji Yi became more and more confused as she listened.

"I felt bad," Yun Shu Nian slumped onto the table.

"But I don't know how to tell Mu Qi."

Ji Yi seemed to understand, "Just say it directly."

"But I don't like Mu Qi yet, so why should I demand this of him? Isn't that being too controlling? Mu Qi will definitely be unhappy."

"You haven't told Mu Qi, how can you be so sure he'll be unhappy?" Ji Yi looked at Yun Shu Nian as if she were a little fool falling in love.

"Isn't it obvious? Who wants their freedom of association restricted?"

"But Mu Qi loves you. If you want to restrict him, he might even be happy," Ji Yi now completely understood Yun Shu Nian's problem, and leisurely took a sip of her milk tea, waiting for Yun Shu Nian to figure it out herself.

Yun Shu Nian's crescent eyes brightened at her words, but then she remembered the scene from yesterday when Mu Qi let go of her hand and told her to get the medicine herself, and the light in her eyes quickly dimmed, "But, it seems like Mu Qi doesn't love me anymore."

"Whether Mu Qi still loves you or not, I don't know, but I know, darling, you've definitely fallen for Mu Qi," Ji Yi put down her milk tea, curved her lips, and winked at Yun Shu Nian.
