"Where can I go?"
Looking at Yun Shunan, who was smiling at him, Mu Qi's coldness involuntarily receded.
Why wasn't she resisting?
Yun Shunan frowned slightly, raising her handcuffed hands in front of Mu Qi. "Mu Qi, why did you lock me up again?"
"Again?"
Yun Shunan was startled, realizing she had spoken out of turn. Feigning ignorance, she asked, "No, what do you mean?" Yun Shunan shook the handcuffs on her wrist again.
Mu Qi remained silent, knowing that Yun Shunan understood.
"You're locked up by me, why aren't you fussing?" Mu Qi looked at the obedient Yun Shunan, full of confusion.
Yun Shunan's eyes darted around. "Isn't this… foreplay?"
"Foreplay." The serious and pure-hearted Mu Qi rarely encountered such words and was even more bewildered.
Yun Shunan winked at Mu Qi. "Mu Qi, how do you want to play?"
Seeing Mu Qi's lack of understanding, Yun Shunan reached out, got up, and pressed down hard on Mu Qi's shoulders, pushing him onto the bed.
Mu Qi was confused but obedient.
"Darling, do you like it when I can't escape?"
Yun Shunan lifted Mu Qi's chin, then her hand slid down to caress Mu Qi's Adam's apple, collarbone, abs, and V-line.
Mu Qi finally understood Yun Shunan's intention. He suddenly grabbed Yun Shunan by the back of her neck and pulled her down, pressing her tightly against him.
"Darling, don't you like it?" Yun Shunan asked innocently, feeling Mu Qi's intense heat.
How could he not like it! Mu Qi cupped Yun Shunan's head and pressed it into the crook of his neck, breathing heavily.
However, just as Yun Shunan was about to escalate things, Mu Qi suddenly pushed her away and went into the bathroom.
After a long while, Mu Qi came out, but he walked straight towards the exit.
Seeing this, Yun Shunan immediately called out to him, "Mu Qi, I want to eat."
Mu Qi's footsteps didn't falter. "Aunt Ning will bring it up for you."
Yun Shunan watched Mu Qi's retreating back, lost in thought.
Why hadn't Mu Qi touched her when they were in that situation? Could Mu Qi really have some hidden illness?
...
Yun Shunan kept thinking, and she still hadn't figured it out by the time Aunt Ning brought up the food.
Aunt Ning, on the other hand, saw the golden handcuffs on Yun Shunan's hand and her heart skipped a beat. She waited quietly nearby, expecting Yun Shunan to start throwing a tantrum.
Yun Shunan, while holding a spoon and playing with the porridge in her bowl with one hand, asked Aunt Ning distractedly, "Aunt Ning, have you prepared the things I asked you to?"
Aunt Ning, her thoughts interrupted, thought for a moment before recalling what Yun Shunan had said. "Yes, Madam. It's all ready."
"Oh, that's good." Yun Shunan said thoughtfully.
But she couldn't just be locked up by Mu Qi like this forever. She had to at least get some benefits for herself.
"Aunt Ning, go and call Mu Qi over to eat with me." Yun Shunan put down her spoon.
"Yes, Madam." Looking at the golden handcuffs on Yun Shunan's hand, Aunt Ning hesitated slightly but still went to find Mu Qi.
After all, it was a matter between husband and wife, and she, an outsider, shouldn't interfere.
Aunt Ning didn't consider whether Mu Qi would eat in the bedroom. After all, Mu Qi had allowed Yun Shunan to bring food into the study freely, let alone the bedroom.
Aunt Ning had long understood that Mu Qi had no bottom line when it came to Yun Shunan.
Soon, Mu Qi came up. Aunt Ning placed Mu Qi's meal aside, instructed a servant to bring a chair, and then left.
Mu Qi sat opposite Yun Shunan, silently chewing his food.
"Mu Qi, I'm so pitiful being locked in this room alone," Yun Shunan looked at Mu Qi pitifully.
She was still resisting. Mu Qi's phoenix eyes darkened, his hand loosened, and his chopsticks fell to the floor.
Mu Qi ignored the fallen chopsticks, looked up at Yun Shunan, and said, "I'll have Aunt Ning keep you company."
Yun Shunan curled her lips, her crescent eyes filled with cunning. "I want someone else."
Mu Qi's heart churned at this.
Someone else? Zuo Nan?
Mu Qi gritted his teeth, stepped forward, pinched Yun Shunan's chin, and then fiercely covered Yun Shunan's lips.
"Mu… Mu Qi," Yun Shunan called out his name indistinctly, but this only allowed Mu Qi to deepen his assault, their closeness leaving Yun Shunan unable to utter a word.
After it was over, Yun Shunan collapsed into Mu Qi's arms.
"Mu Qi, what's wrong? Why are you suddenly like this?"
Mu Qi gripped Yun Shunan's waist tightly, his phoenix eyes bloodshot. "I'll bring Zuo Nan here."
And then, in front of her, he would kill Zuo Nan himself. Even if Yun Shunan hated him, Mu Qi wanted her to stay by his side forever.
"Why bring him up out of the blue?" Yun Shunan felt disgusted just thinking about Zuo Nan's greedy face from yesterday.
Mu Qi froze. Finally, under Yun Shunan's tugging, his grip loosened, and he released her waist.
"Why would you think that?" Yun Shunan's breathing stabilized, and then she reacted, looking at Mu Qi.
"Mu Qi, don't you believe I genuinely want to be with you?" Anyone would be hurt by suspicion, and Yun Shunan was no exception.
Mu Qi dared not meet Yun Shunan's sad eyes. He lowered his head and mumbled, "Then who do you want..."
"You." Yun Shunan interrupted him. Yun Shunan didn't say much more.
She had done so much for Zuo Nan before; how could she expect Mu Qi to believe her sincerity so easily?
"The food is cold. I'll have Aunt Ning reheat it," Mu Qi changed the subject and hurried to get up.
But Yun Shunan still caught him.
"Mu Qi, it hurts."
These two words were enough to make Mu Qi stop. No matter what, Mu Qi couldn't ignore Yun Shunan.
"Where? What's wrong?" Sure enough, Mu Qi quickly turned around, looking at Yun Shunan with concern.
"Mu Qi, can't you see?" Yun Shunan suddenly got up and leaned close to Mu Qi's face, pointing at her lip that Mu Qi had bitten.
Her fair ear tips turned visibly red.
"I'll get medicine." Mu Qi desperately wanted to calm himself down.
However, Yun Shunan didn't let go. "Wait." Yun Shunan lifted her pajama top, revealing a patch of blue on her originally fair waist.
"Mu Qi, aren't you going too far?" Her crescent eyes accused him.
"I'll get medicine."
This time, Yun Shunan directly pulled Mu Qi back onto the bed and guided his hand to her waist.
She said in a commanding tone, "Rub!"
So soft. Mu Qi's hand rested on Yun Shunan's soft waist, his gaze also fixed there.
Mu Qi gently massaged Yun Shunan's waist. Yun Shunan looked at Mu Qi's flushed ears and reached out to pinch his earlobe.
"Mu Qi, they say people with soft earlobes are very henpecked. Why aren't you afraid of me?" Yun Shunan slightly pursed her bitten lips.
Mu Qi pulled Yun Shunan's clothes back down and pulled her into his embrace.
