Yun Shuni turned her head and looked at Zuo Nan's thunderstruck expression, feeling quite pleased.
The bidding results were out. Mu Qi and Yun Shuni got up, ready to go home, but Zuo Nan grabbed Yun Shuni's wrist.
"Niannian, how could this happen? Didn't you give me Mu Qi's bidding proposal?" Zuo Nan frowned, very angry.
Mu Qi raised his hand and pinched Zuo Nan's wrist. The intense pain caused Zuo Nan's body to twist into an unnatural posture.
"Zuo Nan, it's just a failed bid, and you want to hit me because of it? Are you venting your career frustrations by bullying women?"
Both Mu Qi and Zuo Nan were stunned by Yun Shuni's sudden words.
Finally, Zuo Nan reacted first: "Niannian, what are you talking about? When did I hit you?"
"Zuo Nan, how can you do something and not admit it?"
"I..." Zuo Nan was bewildered, completely not expecting Yun Shuni to say that.
Instantly, the surrounding people's gazes towards Zuo Nan changed. They surrounded Zuo Nan, and the sounds of pointing and gossiping buzzed in Zuo Nan's ears.
"Mu Qi, let's go." Yun Shuni pouted, wiped away some non-existent tears, and pulled Mu Qi away.
Zuo Nan was left behind, his hand twisted into an unnatural shape, staying in place. At this moment, everyone present had blacklisted Zuo Nan.
-------------------------------------
"Mu Qi, shall we have crab tonight?"
In the back of the black Maybach, Yun Shuni looked at Mu Qi, her crescent eyes sparkling.
Mu Qi held Yun Shuni's wrist where Zuo Nan had grabbed it, carefully checking for any injuries.
"Why are you so happy?" After a long while, when Mu Qi was sure Yun Shuni's wrist was unharmed, he slowly let go of her hand.
"Because I tarnished Zuo Nan's reputation today. It'll be hard for anyone to cooperate with him in the future," Yun Shuni said cheerfully.
"You... dislike Zuo Nan?" Mu Qi asked hesitantly. Mu Qi, who usually hid his emotions, now had a rare flicker of joy and anticipation in his phoenix eyes.
Dislike? Hatred would be a more fitting word.
"Mmm, I dislike him, I really dislike him, very much," Yun Shuni said, her expression becoming a little distant.
"Then shall I make him disappear?" That way, Zuo Nan would never be able to snatch his baby away again.
Mu Qi's lips curved slightly.
Yun Shuni snapped back to reality, looking at Mu Qi in shock.
In the past, Mu Qi's gentle smiles could easily make Yun Shuni fall for him, but now, looking at his smile, Yun Shuni vaguely felt an evil aura emanating from him.
"Mu Qi, you... you..." Yun Shuni didn't know how to communicate with Mu Qi for a moment.
Seeing Yun Shuni's hesitant look, Mu Qi's gentle smile gradually disappeared.
She couldn't bear to part with Zuo Nan? Or was she letting him get close to her just to make Zuo Nan jealous?
"Baby, I'm going to make Zuo Nan disappear."
"Mu Qi, don't do that, that's not right."
Hearing Mu Qi's thoughts, Yun Shuni immediately planned to impart the core socialist values, but Mu Qi pulled her onto his lap.
"Are you unwilling to part with Zuo Nan? Are you using me to make him jealous?" Mu Qi asked urgently, pinching Yun Shuni's chin forcefully.
"Mu Qi, that's not what I mean, listen to me..."
Yun Shuni was anxious to explain to Mu Qi, but Mu Qi directly laid her down on the back seat, then covered her lips and roughly tore at her clothes.
Yun Shuni was startled by Mu Qi's behavior, her entire body frozen and passively enduring.
Only when Mu Qi kissed salty tears into his mouth did his phoenix eyes begin to focus.
Upon seeing Yun Shuni's crescent eyes brimming with tears, Mu Qi abruptly recoiled, then carefully helped her put on her clothes.
Yun Shuni, however, remained stunned, letting Mu Qi do as he pleased.
After a long while, Yun Shuni regained her senses and began to involuntarily curl up in a corner, seeking security.
Mu Qi immediately took off his suit jacket, intending to drape it over Yun Shuni, but she flinched instinctively.
Mu Qi regretted his actions and quickly retracted his hand, moving to the side to give Yun Shuni as much space and sense of security as possible.
"President, we've arrived." Assistant Li lowered the partition that had been raised.
He had quickly raised the partition when their president had pushed Miss Yun down in the car just now.
This was the first time he had seen their president treat Miss Yun so fiercely, no wonder she was so upset.
"You go down."
"Ah? Okay, President." Assistant Li came back to his senses and immediately got out of the car.
Even after all that, was the President still going to have a "great union of life" with Miss Yun?
Poor Miss Yun, serving the president is like...
Assistant Li was shaking his head when he suddenly saw Mu Qi get out of the car and lean against the trunk.
It seemed he had misjudged. This wasn't a tiger at all, but a big cat lacking security.
Suddenly, Mu Qi's cold gaze fell on Assistant Li. Assistant Li's heart chilled, and he immediately turned his head and left Qiyuan without looking back.
Meanwhile, Yun Shuni, sitting in the car, was deliberately trying to suppress the memories of what had just happened.
Her body, however, seemed to retain a memory, stiffening and trembling uncontrollably.
It wasn't until the sound of dripping rain outside filled her ears with natural white noise.
The body that had been tense for so long finally relaxed. Yun Shuni closed her eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep.
Yun Shuni didn't know how long she slept when thunder suddenly rumbled in the sky.
Yun Shuni was startled awake. She took a deep breath and slowly got out of the car.
Hearing Yun Shuni get out, Mu Qi's gaze immediately fell upon her.
Yun Shuni also saw Mu Qi, completely drenched. Her heart suddenly clenched, and then she walked past Mu Qi without meeting his eyes.
Looking at Yun Shuni's retreating back, Mu Qi lowered his head, like a prisoner sentenced to death.
Except, one was imprisoned for crime, the other for love.
"Mu Qi, let's go back." Suddenly, Yun Shuni appeared in front of Mu Qi.
Her crescent eyes were like the only ray of light in Mu Qi's abyss.
It seemed Mu Qi's judge couldn't bear to see him suffer.
