Yun Shuniang was taken aback, and instinctively looked up at Mu Qi.
Seeing Yun Shuniang not speaking but just looking at him, Mu Qi remained silent for a moment and then said,
"Niannian, it will take a few days to swallow her Ling family. After I swallow the Ling family, I can kill Ling Xue directly."
As Mu Qi finished speaking, Yun Shuniang was completely stunned.
After a while, Yun Shuniang reacted with disbelief and leaned affectionately on Mu Qi's shoulder.
Mu Qi must like her a lot, otherwise, why would he have such thoughts?
Recalling how Mu Qi protected her in the restaurant before, Yun Shuniang wondered if, in Mu Qi's heart, Ling Xue was no different from those guests?
"This won't do?"
Since Yun Shuniang didn't speak, Mu Qi could only guess.
Mu Qi thought he might have to take action himself.
In an instant, Mu Qi thought of many things, even planning where to change clothes after killing Ling Xue, what kind of clothes to wear, and what body wash could completely mask the scent of blood.
"Just don't let her stay in the imperial capital." Her hands, like fine jade, should not be stained with blood because of her.
Yun Shuniang first nuzzled into the crook of Mu Qi's neck, and then finally spoke.
"Mm, okay," Mu Qi responded, bringing his nose to the top of Yun Shuniang's head and taking a deep breath.
"Throw her far away," Yun Shuniang added after a moment.
"Mm, okay," Mu Qi replied with a smile, indulging her.
That night, at the Xishan Villa, Ling Xue tossed and turned restlessly on her large bed.
After an unknown amount of time, Ling Xue seemed to smell a peculiar scent, and her eyelids suddenly grew heavy.
Ling Xue vigilantly pinched the flesh on her waist with her fingernails.
The pain kept Ling Xue conscious. She lay still, covertly pricking up her ears to listen to the sounds around her.
A few seconds later, Ling Xue realized something was wrong.
There was no sound, absolutely no sound at all.
Just as Ling Xue frowned in thought, a dark shadow suddenly appeared before her eyes, followed by a sharp pain in the back of her neck, and Ling Xue fainted.
...
"Baby, shall we go have breakfast?"
In the early morning, a ray of sunlight outside the window fell on Yun Shuniang's face and then on Mu Qi's hand.
Yun Shuniang seemed to hear Mu Qi's voice. She hummed softly and raised her hand to pull the silk quilt over her eyes, not responding to Mu Qi.
Mu Qi rubbed her fluffy head with a helpless expression. "I won't disturb you anymore. Come out soon."
As Mu Qi finished speaking and saw that Yun Shuniang remained still, he quietly entered the washroom, closed the door, and began to wash up softly.
The hazy Yun Shuniang no longer felt Mu Qi's presence nearby, and her gently beating heart grew uneasy.
A moment later, Yun Shuniang opened her eyes. Her crescent-shaped eyes were clear, with a hint of ferocity, completely devoid of their usual sleepy demeanor.
"Mu Qi?" Yun Shuniang, having just woken up, her voice was both hoarse and soft.
Mu Qi, who was in the washroom, was enveloped by the sound of water and didn't hear Yun Shuniang calling him.
In an instant, Yun Shuniang's delicate eyebrows furrowed. She scratched her head vigorously and walked out of the bedroom.
"Aunt Ning, where is Mu Qi?" Yun Shuniang asked urgently, seeing Aunt Ning arranging for the servants to set the table downstairs.
Hearing Yun Shuniang's voice, Aunt Ning instinctively froze, thinking it was an illusion.
After all, Yun Shuniang was not used to waking up early.
Even now, due to her physical condition, when Mu Qi brought her downstairs for breakfast, she was always listless and not at all like the urgent and sharp voice she heard now.
"Aunt Ning?"
Seeing that Aunt Ning was not looking at her, Yun Shuniang called out again anxiously.
Aunt Ning finally came to her senses and looked towards Yun Shuniang. "Madam, isn't the young master in the bedroom?"
Seeing that Aunt Ning also didn't know Mu Qi's whereabouts, Yun Shuniang paced back and forth in the second-floor corridor, then walked back into the bedroom.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered, she bumped into Mu Qi coming out of the washroom.
Their eyes met. Before Mu Qi could react, Yun Shuniang rushed towards him.
"Mu Qi, where did you go?" Yun Shuniang stood on tiptoe, her arms wrapping tightly around Mu Qi's neck.
Before Mu Qi could figure out how to respond, his hands instinctively held Yun Shuniang's waist.
"Washing up," Mu Qi's temples were slightly damp from washing up. He tilted his head to the side, trying to prevent Yun Shuniang from touching it.
"Why didn't you take me with you? It wasn't like this yesterday." The previous morning, Yun Shuniang had been carried by Mu Qi.
After Yun Shuniang finished speaking, Mu Qi couldn't help but chuckle. "Then next time, I'll take Niannian to wash up with me."
"Mm." After a long pause, Yun Shuniang finally let go of Mu Qi's neck.
Then Yun Shuniang pulled Mu Qi into the washroom.
Seeing Yun Shuniang trying to wash up with one hand while holding onto him with the other, Mu Qi had to gently remove her hand and place his other hand on Yun Shuniang's soft waist. Sudan Novel Network.
A moment later, Yun Shuniang finished washing up.
They had hugged for a bit too long, and Mu Qi worried that the food would get cold soon, so he held Yun Shuniang's hand and walked downstairs.
"Wait a moment," Yun Shuniang pulled Mu Qi back.
"Kiss me again." Yun Shuniang placed her hands on Mu Qi's shoulders, stood on tiptoe, and leaned towards Mu Qi.
Mu Qi lowered his head cooperatively and kissed her, then picked her up and started walking downstairs.
Unexpectedly, Yun Shuniang cupped Mu Qi's face with both hands and refused to let go.
After an unknown amount of time, Yun Shuniang's cheeks were burning, almost cooked. This time, she released Mu Qi.
In her dreams, she was an immortal, and Mu Qi was also an immortal.
However, the deep unrequited love had lasted for too long and was too intense, so now when Yun Shuniang got close to Mu Qi, she always felt a sense of blasphemy.
People always feel most happy when approaching happiness, and most anxious when obtaining it.
Just like every time Yun Shuniang woke up and got close to Mu Qi, she couldn't help but overthink it in her heart.
She wondered if Mu Qi also felt as nervous as she did when he was close to her, if he also felt anxious.
Would Mu Qi perhaps be impatient with it?
Perhaps to Mu Qi, she was just an obsession.
...
By the time Mu Qi carried Yun Shuniang downstairs, the food had indeed gotten cold.
Aunt Ning didn't seem to mind at all. In fact, the corners of her mouth curved wider and wider.
With the bright sun shining in the sky, who couldn't see that their young master's lips were bitten bloody?
