Yun Shu nian frowned upon hearing this. Although she was unhappy with Mu Qi's disdain for her, she was determined to make him eat the congee.
Yun Shu nian: "How about I ask Aunt Ning to make you another bowl?" By then, those spoons should also be sterilized.
Mu Qi just looked at Yun Shu nian silently, not speaking.
As Yun Shu nian was wondering what was going on, Aunt Ning quickly spoke up: "Young Master, you should eat with Young Madam. I've been a bit tired these past few days, so I won't be making you a new one."
"Aunt Ning, are you not feeling well..." Yun Shu nian, concerned, was about to ask Aunt Ning what was wrong, but Aunt Ning hurried back to her room before Yun Shu nian could finish.
"Mu Qi, is Aunt Ning alright?" Yun Shu nian was even more worried, seeing that Aunt Ning clearly had something on her mind.
However, when Yun Shu nian looked back, Mu Qi had already snatched the spoon from her hand.
"Mu Qi, didn't you want a different spoon?" Yun Shu nian asked grimly, watching Mu Qi scoop the congee himself and put it into his mouth.
"If you do this again next time, I won't talk to you anymore," Yun Shu nian threatened, crossing her arms.
Such childish words were obviously a joke. But Mu Qi couldn't stand to hear them: "The spoon Aunt Ning brought was for you."
Mu Qi looked at Yun Shu nian deeply.
"For me to use?" Yun Shu nian was a bit surprised, not expecting this.
Yun Shu nian continued to ask: "Then why didn't you say so earlier?"
Mu Qi pursed his lips and remained silent, as he wasn't sure whether Yun Shu nian was speaking her true feelings.
"Never mind, never mind, eat quickly!" Yun Shu nian's heart had melted into a pool of water.
Yun Shu nian once again brought the congee to Mu Qi's lips, shamelessly "admiring" his eating posture.
And so, a bowl of congee, bearing the passionate ambiguity between the two, was consumed by them.
...
Time had already entered the deep night. Memories of her past and present life in the Yun family echoed repeatedly in Yun Shu nian's mind.
Yun Shu nian was awakened by a nightmare. When people are cold, they naturally seek warmth, and Yun Shu nian was no different. Mu Qi was her only warmth in this life.
Yun Shu nian got up and walked towards Mu Qi's room.
Mu Qi's sleep had always been light, so much so that when Yun Shu nian, carrying her pillow, opened Mu Qi's door, he immediately noticed.
Mu Qi's eyes snapped open, his gaze dark. But upon hearing the familiar footsteps, he instantly retracted his sharp edge.
She finally couldn't hold back any longer. Was that it? Kill him? That would be good, then he could let her go.
Mu Qi closed his eyes, awaiting the cold blade to pierce his heart.
However, Mu Qi waited for a long time and felt no sting, but instead, a fluffy little head cautiously rested on his chest.
Mu Qi's heartbeat involuntarily quickened.
Why was Mu Qi's heart beating so fast? Did Mu Qi have a fever? Yun Shu nian, resting her head on Mu Qi's chest, frowned as she listened to his increasingly rapid heartbeat. She reached out to feel Mu Qi's forehead temperature, but was almost immediately caught by Mu Qi.
"Mu Qi, did I wake you up? How are you feeling? Do you have a fever?"
Yun Shu nian bombarded Mu Qi with three consecutive questions, successfully preventing him from interrogating her.
Mu Qi paused slightly: "I'm fine."
"You're fine? Then why is your heart beating so fast?" Yun Shu nian, still worried, touched Mu Qi's forehead again. Only after confirming he wasn't feverish did she relax.
As Yun Shu nian moved, Mu Qi felt the softness on his chest press completely against him, and in the place the moon could not see, Mu Qi's earlobes turned completely red. Su Dan Novel Network.
Mu Qi asked, avoiding the question: "Why are you here?"
Yun Shu nian felt a momentary nervousness, then asked indignantly: "I... I'm not allowed to be here?"
Mu Qi: "..."
"You are."
Yun Shu nian's slender fingers began to draw circles on Mu Qi's chest: "It's just, you belong to me entirely, so what are you shy about now."
Yun Shu nian gradually became more clear-headed, and the domineering CEO literature in her mind began to kick in, though her low mood had not improved.
Mu Qi grabbed Yun Shu nian's hand and moved it aside. Mu Qi didn't know how much of her words were true and how much was false.
Yun Shu nian: "..." This wasn't the Mu Qi who had kissed her passionately.
Then, Mu Qi avoided Yun Shu nian, got up, put on his clothes, and walked out. If he didn't leave, Mu Qi feared he wouldn't be able to control himself and hurt Yun Shu nian.
Perhaps no one could have imagined that Mu Qi, who was usually as ethereal as a celestial being, was no different from an ordinary mortal in front of Yun Shu nian.
However, this ordinary mortal was immediately hugged by the waist from behind by Yun Shu nian: "Mu Qi, don't go, stay with me, okay?" Yun Shu nian's pitiful voice came from behind Mu Qi.
Sensing Yun Shu nian's sadness, Mu Qi immediately caved.
Mu Qi pulled his hand away from his waist, turned around, and asked: "What's wrong?"
"Mu Qi, why doesn't anyone care about me?" Yun Shu nian buried her face in Mu Qi's chest, her eyes reddening.
Mu Qi recalled everything that had happened that day and immediately understood who Yun Shu nian was referring to by "they."
Mu Qi gently stroked Yun Shu nian's head: "Because a flock of ugly ducklings cannot tolerate a swan. Seeing Yun Shu nian so sad, Mu Qi's heart felt as if it were shattering into pieces."
With a simple sentence, Yun Shu nian was completely absolved. In Mu Qi's eyes, Yun Shu nian was perfect, and the problem lay with everyone else.
Yun Shu nian hugged Mu Qi tightly, tears still streaming down her face: "Mu Qi, I have you, right? You care about me, don't you?"
Yun Shu nian couldn't possibly not feel how much Mu Qi cared about her, given all he had done. However, women always liked to experience love through their ears; even if they were sure of his love, they still wanted to hear sweet words.
"Yes, I will always stand by your side." Even if you try to run, I will tirelessly bring you back time and again.
Mu Qi didn't say the last sentence aloud, fearing Yun Shu nian would be scared and even more upset.
Yun Shu nian hugged Mu Qi and cried for a long time before her voice became hoarse: "Mu Qi, I don't want to sleep alone tonight. Can I sleep with you?"
As she spoke, Yun Shu nian wiped her tears on Mu Qi's silk pajamas.
Assistant Li watched as the highly germophobic CEO Mu accepted it all.
Recalling Yun Shu nian's actions just now, Mu Qi hesitated slightly, but eventually agreed.
That night, Yun Shu nian slept peacefully, while Mu Qi burned with desire.
...
The next morning, Yun Shu nian, well-rested, slowly opened her eyes. Mu Qi's sharp-featured profile was the first thing she saw.
Yun Shu nian's gaze traced Mu Qi's eyebrows, his high nose, and his seemingly soft lips.
Then, as if addicted, her gaze circled endlessly over Mu Qi's exquisite face.
When her sight could no longer satisfy Yun Shu nian, her little hand uncontrollably reached out to seek touch.
