Chapter 82 You Are Still Running a Fever

"Go investigate the young madam."

Yun Shu Nian? Shan Gong's face showed surprise, clearly not expecting Mu Qi to ask him to investigate their 'grass bag' young madam.

"Yes." Shan Gong suppressed his doubts and turned to receive his punishment.

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

At this moment, the sound of a lock turning echoed from the bedroom.

Yun Shu Nian, who had been writhing on the bed, immediately stiffened and lay flat.

Listening to the familiar footsteps, Yun Shu Nian's scallop-like eyelashes fluttered slightly.

Only when Mu Qi entered the bathroom did Yun Shu Nian's tightly curled toes slowly relax.

However, soon the side of Yun Shu Nian's body dipped as Mu Qi lay down beside her. The scent of masculine hormones surged from beside Yun Shu Nian.

From Yun Shu Nian's position, Mu Qi's soft hair and delicate profile were clearly visible in the moonlight.

Yun Shu Nian's mood was both rippling and tense.

Yet, Yun Shu Nian waited tensely for a long time, but Mu Qi did not approach. Yun Shu Nian couldn't bear it any longer.

So, pretending to be asleep, she draped her entire body over Mu Qi.

No reaction?

Yun Shu Nian was secretly embarrassed and angry, but she still went further, feigning carelessness, and lifted Mu Qi's clothes.

Mu Qi's skin felt exceptionally good. Yun Shu Nian's consciousness was lost in this extremely comfortable touch.

Just as Yun Shu Nian's small hand was becoming increasingly presumptuous on Mu Qi's body, her hand was suddenly caught.

Yun Shu Nian suddenly woke up, her face red, her heart pounding like a frightened deer.

"Stop fooling around," Mu Qi's voice was low and hoarse, clearly already aroused by Yun Shu Nian.

"I won't," Yun Shu Nian said with a flushed face, using her other hand to playfully touch him.

Mu Qi flipped over and pinned Yun Shu Nian beneath him, holding her hands above her head with one hand.

"Stop fooling around, you're still feverish," Mu Qi said with a helpless expression.

"Oh." Yun Shu Nian raised her hand as if to touch her head, but struggled against Mu Qi's grip, unable to break free.

In the dim light, Yun Shu Nian's gaze wandered freely over Mu Qi's open robe.

Yun Shu Nian continued to press, "Then can I 'fool around' when I'm better?"

"Ahem, let's sleep," Mu Qi was still unaccustomed to Yun Shu Nian's occasional boldness.

Mu Qi released Yun Shu Nian and actively wrapped his arm around her waist.

Yun Shu Nian turned her head in surprise, feeling rather flattered.

After a long while, the bedroom was silent, and Yun Shu Nian's rippling heart began to calm down.

"Mu Qi, why aren't you asking about those photos and the voice recorder?" Yun Shu Nian had slept too long in the afternoon and wasn't sleepy now, leaving her time to overthink.

The arm around Yun Shu Nian's waist suddenly tightened.

Yun Shu Nian frowned slightly, feeling uncomfortable.

"Is it because you don't believe at all that I was framed?" Yun Shu Nian's tone suddenly became dejected.

With her emotions shifting so abruptly, Mu Qi also became tense.

Framed?

Mu Qi pursed his lips, unsure what to say. Because Yun Shu Nian was right, he had never considered that possibility.

"Mu Qi, I did meet Zuo Nan that day. But we weren't as intimate as the photos suggest."

Mu Qi's lips were tightly pressed, his expression dark and unreadable.

"Why did you meet him?" Mu Qi asked in a muffled voice. He hadn't expected it to be like this.

"He wanted the bidding proposal for the Mu Group, so I changed the data and gave it to him." Originally, Yun Shu Nian didn't want to tell Mu Qi, as she didn't want him to misunderstand. But she hadn't expected the misunderstanding to be even more profound in the end.

"And that voice recorder. Those words were indeed spoken by me, but I was deliberately trying to anger my father. I didn't want him to use you through me."

As Yun Shu Nian spoke, her voice grew lower, and her tone became increasingly wronged. She hadn't done anything wrong, but Mu Qi had immediately passed judgment on her, not even giving her a chance to explain.

"Mu Qi, say something. Aren't you very capable? Didn't you lock me up!" Yun Shu Nian's tone suddenly sharpened, trying to break free from Mu Qi's restraint.

However, Mu Qi leaned against Yun Shu Nian's shoulder, his hands tightly clasped around her waist.

"I was wrong, I'm sorry."

She had been confined by him for so long, and a simple "I'm sorry" was enough?

"Mu Qi, let go!" Yun Shu Nian, emotionally agitated, raised her hand and struck Mu Qi's hand.

Mu Qi endured it, but his grip did not loosen at all.

"Mu Qi, as long as we're together, don't I even have the freedom to be alone for a moment?" Yun Shu Nian asked angrily.

Mu Qi was stunned and slowly loosened his grip.

Yun Shu Nian stood up without hesitation, wanting to leave, but Mu Qi grabbed her arm again. "Where are you going?"

"I'm changing rooms to sleep!" Yun Shu Nian angrily tried to shake Mu Qi's hand with all her might, but she couldn't break free. Instead, Mu Qi pulled her back onto the bed.

Yun Shu Nian was furious and immediately wanted to bare her little fangs.

Mu Qi's hand suddenly loosened. "I'll go out."

Watching Mu Qi's back, Yun Shu Nian silently retracted her little fangs, feeling like she had punched cotton.

The next morning, seeing the unusually silent atmosphere at the dining table, Ning Yi also became reserved.

What's wrong? They were fine last night.

"Ning Yi." Mu Qi's voice suddenly sounded. Ning Yi immediately understood and went to take the coffee from the coffee table for Mu Qi.

However, at this moment, Yun Shu Nian stopped Ning Yi.

"Mu Qi, don't you have hands? Ning Yi, let him get it himself." Yun Shu Nian said, leisurely holding her milk and glaring fiercely at Mu Qi.

This...

Ning Yi had never encountered such a situation before and quietly looked at Mu Qi.

Unexpectedly, Mu Qi simply put down the newspaper, quietly picked up the coffee on the table, and walked towards the kitchen.

Ning Yi, with her sharp eyes, even saw Mu Qi's lips curve upwards slightly.

Ning Yi didn't know what was going on between them, but she breathed a sigh of relief.

After finishing her milk, Yun Shu Nian took Ning Yi to the backyard.

The backyard of Qi Yuan was very large, with a large sports field next to it.

In her previous life, after arriving at Qi Yuan, Yun Shu Nian had been sulking with Mu Qi. Now, looking at this vast expanse of white begonia flowers, Yun Shu Nian sighed that she had missed so much beauty.

"Ning Yi, did Mu Qi have these planted?" Yun Shu Nian had a mature idea. She felt that this sea of flowers must have something to do with Mu Qi.

However, Ning Yi shook her head at this.

Yun Shu Nian instantly became dejected.

"The young master planted these himself," Ning Yi added with a smile, noticing Yun Shu Nian's low spirits.

"He planted them himself, so many! How is that possible?" Yun Shu Nian looked up at Ning Yi in disbelief, yet with a hint of joy.

"It's not just these flowers; the entire Qi Yuan was personally designed by the young master."
