Yun Shuni asked after a moment of silence, "So what? Mu Qi, you have no choice but to accept it."
Yun Shuni didn't immediately realize what Mu Qi had just said had to do with the files he'd carried into the bedroom. Her sensitive nerves instinctively felt her own inferiority first.
"Then aren't you bothered by me having contact with the outside world?" Mu Qi glanced at the files Yun Shuni had put down and asked again.
Yun Shuni was startled, then slowly understood what Mu Qi meant.
"I told you, you have no choice," Yun Shuni's voice grew softer.
"Come work," Yun Shuni finished speaking and pointed to the bedside, inviting Mu Qi to sit.
Mu Qi's eyes were deep. Uncharacteristically, he stood still, ignoring Yun Shuni's words.
"My leg hurts, help me over," Mu Qi said after a moment, then pursed his lips, his gaze shifting away from Yun Shuni. Sudancai.com
"Leg hurts? What's wrong?" Has it been too long since you exercised?
Yun Shuni walked towards Mu Qi with concern, then stopped with a frown, looking at Mu Qi's legs.
"Where does it hurt?"
Mu Qi didn't speak, and Yun Shuni naturally placed her hand on Mu Qi's thigh.
"Here?" Yun Shuni looked up at Mu Qi. Seeing no response, she continued to stroke downwards.
"Is it your knee?" Yun Shuni looked up, but Mu Qi still didn't respond.
"Here?"
"Or here?" By the time Yun Shuni's hand reached Mu Qi's ankle.
Mu Qi finally bent down and pulled Yun Shuni up. "It doesn't hurt anymore."
Mu Qi stood still, his gaze wandering, but his grip on Yun Shuni's hand was firm.
Mu Qi shouldn't be like this.
Mu Qi was also surprised that he would lie to Yun Shuni. He just... just what?
Yun Shuni didn't know what was going on. She took the opportunity to check Mu Qi's pulse.
Yun Shuni looked down and only then realized that Mu Qi was holding her by the wrist that had been injured.
"Mu Qi, let go." Yun Shuni was extremely nervous, yet dared not move her hand.
"No," Mu Qi frowned subconsciously, his tone low.
"Mu Qi, hurry and let go, your wrist will bleed again soon."
Yun Shuni held her breath, watching Mu Qi's wrist, her expression filled with anxiety.
Mu Qi's aura slightly relaxed. He first used his other hand to hold Yun Shuni, then let go of the injured hand.
"Does it hurt?" Yun Shuni wanted to cup Mu Qi's wrist with both hands to examine it, but Mu Qi was holding on too tightly. Yun Shuni could only lightly support Mu Qi's arm.
"It doesn't hurt," Mu Qi's long lashes fluttered, and the somberness around him vanished completely.
Yun Shuni: "Let me see."
Mu Qi: "Mhm."
A few minutes later, Yun Shuni removed Mu Qi's bandage.
Seeing that it had started to bleed a little again, Yun Shuni felt heartbroken.
"It's almost healed," Mu Qi said, glancing at Yun Shuni's expression.
"Mu Qi, can you be more careful?" Yun Shuni gently placed Mu Qi's wrist on the bed and carefully applied ointment.
"Mhm, okay." Mu Qi's tone sounded even gentler than usual.
After applying the ointment, Yun Shuni leaned in to blow on it.
Mu Qi subconsciously clenched his fist, then realized something and restrained himself, loosening it.
After Yun Shuni put down Mu Qi's hand, she then checked the pulse on Mu Qi's other wrist.
"Your leg should be fine," Yun Shuni felt the throbbing at her fingertips, her brow furrowing slightly.
Mu Qi's Adam's apple bobbed, his breathing unsteady. "Perhaps it was just an illusion just now."
"It must be," Yun Shuni released Mu Qi's wrist and pulled down his sleeve.
"Let's get to work." A moment later, Yun Shuni placed the files into Mu Qi's hands.
Mu Qi took them, and Yun Shuni added, "Tell me when you need to turn the page, I'll do it."
Seeing Mu Qi nod, Yun Shuni suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
This way, Mu Qi wouldn't be looking out the window every day.
"I'm done reading."
As Mu Qi spoke, Yun Shuni, lost in thought, quickly reacted, remembering that Assistant Li was still downstairs. Yun Shuni hurried to help Mu Qi turn the page, then went out to see him off.
"Assistant Li, you can go now. As for those documents, Mu Qi will notify you to pick them up after he's finished."
"Yes, Madam," Assistant Li replied, then hesitated, saying, "Madam, could you please ask the CEO to keep his phone on?"
"There are times when urgent matters arise in the company, and it would be convenient for me to report to the CEO promptly."
As the CEO's assistant, Assistant Li often had to relay Mu Qi's instructions. Currently, being unable to contact Mu Qi made things rather difficult.
After Assistant Li finished speaking, Yun Shuni's expression remained unchanged. "Absolutely not. Your CEO needs to accompany me. He doesn't have time to check your messages. Anything you need, just tell me."
Saying that, Yun Shuni stepped forward and placed her QR code in front of Assistant Li.
The CEO's wife's request was not to be questioned, so Assistant Li took out his phone and added Yun Shuni as a contact before leaving the villa in a daze.
Did Madam intend to gradually seize control of Mu Corporation's power and then divorce the CEO?
If that were the case, what should he do? What should the CEO do?
Assistant Li belatedly speculated.
Thinking of this, Assistant Li immediately wanted to go back and save the CEO from his predicament, but then he thought of something and stopped.
What if President Mu knew but didn't want to resist?
With this thought, Assistant Li felt this was even more likely the case.
The CEO was decisive and ruthless, with sharp business acumen. It was precisely because of this that Mu Corporation had risen step by step.
If the CEO's wife truly had such intentions, how could the CEO not notice?
Assistant Li recalled Mu Qi's boundless indulgence towards Yun Shuni in everyday life.
It became increasingly likely that as long as the CEO's wife clearly stated her intentions, the CEO might indeed pack up the empire he had built with his own hands and hand it over.
Then, he recalled how anxious Mu Qi usually was about Yun Shuni.
Assistant Li thought that perhaps the CEO would even worry that the empire was too heavy and willingly work for the CEO's wife.
With this consideration, Assistant Li became completely enlightened.
It didn't matter if the empire changed hands. The main concern was whether his position as Assistant Li could be preserved!
He should still have time to curry favor with the CEO's wife, right?
Assistant Li thought and had already switched his phone to the chat interface with Yun Shuni.
"Madam, good morning!"
Assistant Li impulsively sent this message to Yun Shuni, then immediately regretted it.
Would sending these messages be too annoying?
Mainly, his CEO didn't appreciate flattery. Assistant Li, despite his seniority, had no experience in this area.
