"Mu Qi, I mean I'm different from my past self now. I love you very, very much now, which is why I'm like this."
"Mu Qi, please believe me, okay?"
Mu Qi didn't speak, and Yun Shu Nian's heart tightened. She clutched Mu Qi's arm tighter.
"Mu Qi, believe me," Yun Shu Nian repeated aggrievedly.
Still not receiving a response from Mu Qi, Yun Shu Nian pouted and complained by his ear, "Mu Qi, say something, Mu Qi. You can scold me, but don't ignore me."
"Come down first," Mu Qi's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and he felt a sense of helplessness towards Yun Shu Nian.
"No, if I come down, you'll definitely leave." Yun Shu Nian tightened her arms around Mu Qi.
"Come down first, I won't leave." Mu Qi's fierceness, which had arisen because Yun Shu Nian rarely showed such nervousness towards him, gradually subsided as she patiently explained.
"Mu Qi, you can't lie to me." Yun Shu Nian's head rested on Mu Qi's shoulder, looking very fragile.
"Mhm, I won't lie to you."
Hearing Mu Qi's words, Yun Shu Nian slowly got down from him.
"Mu Qi." After getting down, Yun Shu Nian still held onto Mu Qi's sleeve tightly with both hands.
"Will you change again in the future? Will you instantly turn back into the Yun Shu Nian you were before?" This was the first time Mu Qi had explicitly expressed his fear to Yun Shu Nian.
It was as if a devout believer had cut open their soft heart, carefully and secretly begging the other person to treat it with sincerity.
"I..." Yun Shu Nian desperately wanted to answer with absolute certainty that she would no longer become the person Mu Qi described.
However, Yun Shu Nian felt she couldn't say that.
The Yun Shu Nian of her past life had never imagined that she would love Mu Qi so much now.
Yun Shu Nian didn't know what the future held, and she didn't want to say something she couldn't guarantee just to put Mu Qi's mind at ease.
"I don't know, Mu Qi."
"You don't know?" Mu Qi frowned, a storm brewing in his heart.
"Mu Qi, I'm just an ordinary person. I really don't know what will happen in the future." Yun Shu Nian knew that her answer was not what Mu Qi expected.
But she wanted to be more sincere with Mu Qi.
Yun Shu Nian believed that extreme honesty, rather than a false promise, was the key to a lasting relationship with Mu Qi.
"Neither of us knows, what will happen in the future, right?" Yun Shu Nian dared not meet Mu Qi's gaze, her voice growing softer.
"Yun Shu Nian, why can't you lie to me? Why!" Mu Qi grabbed Yun Shu Nian's shoulders, showing her his vulnerability and helplessness for the first time.
Yun Shu Nian's answer made Mu Qi feel as if she could disappear at any moment.
This made Mu Qi, who already lacked security, even less able to face Yun Shu Nian calmly.
Yun Shu Nian had never seen Mu Qi like this and didn't know what to do.
Yun Shu Nian's shoulders ached from Mu Qi's grip. Looking at Mu Qi's bloodshot eyes, she stood there, flustered.
"I'm sorry." Mu Qi came to his senses, looking at Yun Shu Nian, who seemed to have been frightened by him. He immediately took a step back and then turned to leave the bedroom.
Yun Shu Nian watched Mu Qi's retreating back with immense regret.
Seeing how heartbroken Mu Qi was, Yun Shu Nian wondered if she shouldn't have said that.
...
"Aunt Ning, where is Mu Qi?" Yun Shu Nian was planning to use a cliché of kisses and hugs to make Mu Qi stop being angry.
However, when she went to the study, she couldn't find Mu Qi.
Mu Qi was also nowhere to be seen downstairs, and Yun Shu Nian started to panic.
Did Mu Qi feel tired and decide to give up on her?
She shouldn't have said that.
What if she couldn't predict the future? If she stopped loving Mu Qi in the future, she would accompany him to the grave together!
"Young Madam, please don't worry. Young Master might have gone to the company. I'll call him right away."
Seeing Yun Shu Nian's apparent distress, Aunt Ning immediately got up and went to the landline.
Yun Shu Nian couldn't hide her anxiety and followed Aunt Ning closely.
The phone was connected.
Yun Shu Nian immediately picked up the receiver.
"Mu Qi, where are you? I'm coming to find you." Yun Shu Nian stated it as a fact rather than a question. Su Dan Novel Network
"Baby." Mu Qi's voice was very noisy, and after a moment, his slightly drunk and aggrieved voice came through.
"Oh, Mr. Mu, how can you be on the phone with someone else in front of me?
Give me the phone quickly, let's continue drinking."
Listening to the voices on the other end, Yun Shu Nian pursed her lips and gripped the receiver tightly.
"Mu Qi, where exactly are you!" Yun Shu Nian's tone was sharp. Aunt Ning looked worriedly at the table in front of Yun Shu Nian, afraid that Yun Shu Nian would flip the table in her anger.
"Young Master is at 'Nightfall'." After a moment, Shan Gong's voice came through. Yun Shu Nian immediately threw the receiver onto the table.
Then she abruptly stood up and rushed outside.
Aunt Ning quickly picked up the receiver that had been thrown on the table.
"Young Master, Young Madam is going out." Aunt Ning said with urgency as she watched Yun Shu Nian's retreating figure.
"Aunt Ning, it's me. It's fine, let her go out. I've arranged for someone to follow her."
After Shan Gong finished speaking, Aunt Ning sighed in relief as she watched Yun Shu Nian disappear completely.
Meanwhile, Yun Shu Nian sped all the way to 'Nightfall'.
However, 'Nightfall' was a very noisy place. Even though Yun Shu Nian arrived quickly, she still couldn't find Mu Qi immediately.
Yun Shu Nian ignored the gazes that swept over her and directly went onto the performance stage, snatching the lead singer's microphone.
"Mu Qi, where are you?"
The music stopped abruptly, instantly annoying some people. They pointed their index fingers at Yun Shu Nian with dissatisfaction.
However, Yun Shu Nian only wanted to find Mu Qi immediately and paid no attention to them.
At this, some hot-tempered individuals couldn't stand it.
They climbed onto the stage and walked towards Yun Shu Nian.
Seeing this, Yun Shu Nian secretly gathered her strength. She felt that with her current strength, she could protect herself.
But before these people could get close to Yun Shu Nian.
The figure that Yun Shu Nian longed for rushed in front of those people first.
