Yun Shu Nian received no response, and lowered her hands that had been rubbing her eyes.
In an instant, Mu Qi and several men at his desk came into view.
Seeing their synchronized gaze, Yun Shu Nian's scalp tingled.
Yun Shu Nian walked over and tugged at Mu Qi's sleeve, "Mu Qi, it's time to get off work. Time for lunch."
"Mm." The hand Mu Qi used to hold his sleeve froze. He set aside the document in his other hand.
"You guys go back first, we'll talk this afternoon."
"Yes, President Mu." Receiving Mu Qi's instruction, the men standing before his desk breathed a sigh of relief and left with their proposals.
"Hey, what was that just now?"
The few high-level executives who had just left Mu Qi's office couldn't help but gossip.
"President Mu just got married, didn't he? That must be the boss's wife."
"I heard the boss's wife ran away from the wedding, no wonder we don't recognize her..."
After the executives left, the office became quiet again.
The slender white hand resting on Mu Qi's sleeve also fell away. Mu Qi's heart felt empty. He got up, grabbed Yun Shu Nian's hand, and headed for the door.
"What do you want to eat?"
Mu Qi walked too quickly, and Yun Shu Nian struggled to keep up. She was pulled back by the hand Mu Qi was holding.
However, Mu Qi thought Yun Shu Nian didn't want him to hold her hand.
He stopped, looked at her coldly, and tightened his grip on Yun Shu Nian's hand. Su Dan Novel Network
Yun Shu Nian stepped a little closer to Mu Qi, gently patted his hand, and said, "Mu Qi, slow down."
Mu Qi looked at Yun Shu Nian with a scrutinizing gaze, but in the end, he said nothing.
Sensing that Mu Qi had slowed down, Yun Shu Nian was pleased, her eyes curving, "Mu Qi, let's go to the company cafeteria."
The cafeteria was the closest. Going out to eat would mean coming back, and Yun Shu Nian didn't want to make things too troublesome.
Seeing that Mu Qi didn't respond, Yun Shu Nian shook his arm, "Mu Qi?"
Mu Qi snapped back to attention, "Mm."
Go to the cafeteria with him? Wasn't she afraid of the company employees knowing their relationship?
-------------------------------------
Mu Qi: "What do you want to eat?"
Yun Shu Nian looked at the dazzling menu and the huge, luxurious restaurant, utterly amazed.
Yun Shu Nian had eaten a lot today and wasn't very hungry. She was mainly here to accompany Mu Qi.
"Mu Qi, what are you eating?"
Mu Qi glanced at the menu and casually replied, "Congee."
"Anything else?"
"No."
"No, that's not balanced nutrition!"
Mu Qi: "..."
Yun Shu Nian glanced at the hand Mu Qi was still holding, then placed the menu on the table and flipped through it with one hand.
After confirming that Mu Qi was only allergic to fish, Yun Shu Nian ordered shrimp, blueberries, ribs, and vegetables.
"Mu Qi, let go. I'll go get the food."
Mu Qi didn't move at all. He picked up the menu from the table, "Assistant Chen."
Assistant Chen was the assistant who had knocked on the door while Yun Shu Nian was sleeping on the sofa earlier. He happened to see Mu Qi and Yun Shu Nian as he was returning with his food.
So, out of curiosity, he sat at a table not too far from Mu Qi and Yun Shu Nian.
Unexpectedly, he was summoned by President Mu.
"President Mu."
Mu Qi handed him the menu, and Assistant Chen immediately understood.
"President Mu, please wait a moment."
Seeing this, Yun Shu Nian led Mu Qi to sit down.
Fine, this would do.
Only when all the dishes were served did Yun Shu Nian's hand regain its temporary freedom.
Yun Shu Nian ate a few shrimp, then started diligently serving Mu Qi.
Seeing Mu Qi eat, Yun Shu Nian felt a sense of accomplishment. It was like watching a tender seedling she had nurtured grow strong and healthy. Yun Shu Nian shook her head, impressed by her own imagination.
After they finished lunch, Mu Qi's hand reached out to hold Yun Shu Nian's again.
Yun Shu Nian dodged, "Mu Qi, I definitely won't run away."
The iceberg remained solid.
"Mu Qi, look how much I ate today. Even if I wanted to run, I wouldn't be able to run fast."
The iceberg remained steadfast.
Helpless, Yun Shu Nian took the initiative to place her small hand into Mu Qi's palm.
Upon returning to Mu Qi's office, Yun Shu Nian began to feel a bit bored.
Yun Shu Nian got up from the sofa and went to bother Mu Qi, who was "seriously" working, "Mu Qi, I'm bored."
Mu Qi was slightly stunned, then took out the SIM card from his phone and gave his mobile phone to Yun Shu Nian.
Yun Shu Nian took it, "Is there anything I shouldn't look at?" She wondered if there was anything confidential on the phone, or anything Mu Qi didn't want her to know, and decided to be mindful.
"No."
Yun Shu Nian didn't think much of it, assuming it was just a personal phone he used to contact family.
Yun Shu Nian cradled the phone and sat back on the sofa, then opened a comedy.
...
"President, here is the revised proposal." A senior executive from Mu Corporation respectfully handed over the document with both hands.
"o(n_n)o haha~"
The executive was nervously awaiting Mu Qi's reply when a clear, bell-like laugh echoed from behind him, making him jump.
The executive turned around in confusion and saw the woman who had emerged from the president's lounge that morning. She was currently smiling at the president's custom-made mobile phone.
The executive dared not look for too long, and quickly glanced before turning his head back.
He then saw their president gazing in the woman's direction, lost in thought. Not daring to disturb him, he waited quietly for Mu Qi to snap back to reality.
After a long while, Mu Qi finally returned to his senses.
He casually flipped through the proposal, made a few annotations, and handed it back to the executive.
The executive bowed and turned to leave, planning to take a different car to celebrate that he hadn't been scolded during his first visit to President Mu's office.
At the elevator, the executive encountered Assistant Chen, one of Mu Qi's assistants. "Going to the President's office?"
Assistant Chen looked glum, "You could say that."
The executive patted his shoulder, "It's alright, don't worry! Today is a good day."
Assistant Chen looked puzzled, "What's going on?"
The executive didn't answer and casually asked another question, "Do you know that President Mu brought a woman to the company today? I wonder who that woman is. President Mu even gave her his phone to entertain herself."
After speaking, the executive remembered something and added, "Although, that might just be the president's personal phone."
As Mu Qi's assistant, he knew best how many phones Mu Qi had, "A phone? President Mu only has one."
