"Mu Qi, let's go out for dinner?"
Yun Shu Nian coughed lightly, not wanting to push too hard and make Mu Qi angry.
Mu Qi responded, glancing at the phone in Yun Shu Nian's hand, and was then pulled out by Yun Shu Nian.
Both of them had something on their minds, making them unable to focus on where to eat.
Finally, they went to the Da Wan Lou near the company.
As soon as they entered the private room, Mu Qi placed Yun Shu Nian's bag on the seat next to her and then walked to the opposite side.
Yun Shu Nian looked at the distance between them, her expression annoyed. She was becoming increasingly impatient.
Mu Qi's seat was closer to the waiter, who first handed Mu Qi a menu and then walked over to give Yun Shu Nian a menu.
Yun Shu Nian stood up, bypassed the waiter's menu, and sat directly next to Mu Qi to look at it together.
As Yun Shu Nian's sweet scent wafted over, Mu Qi handed his menu to Yun Shu Nian without hesitation and then looked at the waiter.
"Is there only one menu?"
As Mu Qi finished speaking, the waiter handed the menu in his hand to Mu Qi, but Yun Shu Nian snatched it first.
Then, Yun Shu Nian casually put the menu she had just received aside and said to Mu Qi, "Yes, there's only this one left."
Mu Qi's eyelashes flickered, and then he responded, looking at the menu that Yun Shu Nian had shared with him without any objection.
Although Mu Qi was cooperating well, the waiter had not yet reacted: "Sir, would you like me to get you another menu?"
"No need." Mu Qi refused without even looking at the waiter.
The waiter retreated to the side, only realizing after a while.
It turned out that the madam wanted some romance.
Holding Mu Qi's index finger, Yun Shu Nian's mood relaxed considerably, and she enthusiastically ordered many dishes.
Egg Flower Bean Soup, Teriyaki Eel, Embracing Carp, Flower-Braised Mandarin Fish, Four Joy Duck...
However, as the dishes were served one by one, Yun Shu Nian felt a little wasteful.
Yun Shu Nian's eyes were momentarily captivated by the food, and she ate large mouthfuls.
After a few bites, seeing Yun Shu Nian's appetite, Mu Qi put a lot of fish on his plate for her.
Before long, Yun Shu Nian leaned back on the chair without any pretense, her hands on her stomach, her expression full of satisfaction.
Seeing Mu Qi still putting pieces of fish into her bowl, Yun Shu Nian quickly stopped him.
"Mu Qi, I'm full. Ask the waiter to pack it up, I'm going to the restroom first."
After Yun Shu Nian finished speaking and saw Mu Qi nod, she immediately got up and left.
Mu Qi asked the waiter to pack the food and then sat quietly at the table waiting for Yun Shu Nian to return.
However, when Mu Qi looked up, Yun Shu Nian's pink and tender bag caught his attention.
He remembered that before going downstairs, Yun Shu Nian had put her phone in the bag in front of her.
Mu Qi looked at the spot where Yun Shu Nian had left and struggled internally for a long time.
He still walked to the opposite side.
Nian Nian might have forgotten her bag. I just want to get the bag.
Mu Qi thought to himself, and his hand touched Yun Shu Nian's bag.
Then, Mu Qi "accidentally" lost his grip, and Yun Shu Nian's bag fell to the ground.
Mu Qi bent down and took out Yun Shu Nian's phone from her bag.
Yun Shu Nian's phone had a password, and Mu Qi easily saw what Yun Shu Nian had been looking at.
She was searching for the nearest deserted island to the capital.
Mu Qi's fingers quickly slid across Yun Shu Nian's phone, and then he quickly put Yun Shu Nian's phone back in her bag.
Mu Qi put Yun Shu Nian's bag back on the chair and then returned to his own seat.
He had finally managed to remove Zuo Nan from Yun Shu Nian's life, and now she wanted to take that man to an island?
Mu Qi returned to his original seat, constantly rubbing his index finger and thumb, his lips pursed into a straight line.
Not long after, Yun Shu Nian returned from the restroom.
Mu Qi said nothing and was the first to pick up the packed food from the table and walk ahead.
Yun Shu Nian picked up her bag and followed closely behind.
"Mu Qi, wait for me." Yun Shu Nian chased after him.
Mu Qi heard Yun Shu Nian's voice and quickened his pace, but as Yun Shu Nian's footsteps grew further away, Mu Qi still stopped abruptly, waiting for her.
Soon, Yun Shu Nian caught up and grabbed Mu Qi's hand.
"Mu Qi, what's wrong?" Mu Qi usually slowed his pace, so Yun Shu Nian naturally noticed that something was off.
"Nothing." Mu Qi responded and, in turn, gripped Yun Shu Nian's hand tighter.
Thinking that Mu Qi's unusual behavior might be because of Ling Xue, Yun Shu Nian's grievances quickly surfaced.
Yun Shu Nian shook Mu Qi's hand hard. When she couldn't shake it off, Yun Shu Nian stopped walking.
Afraid of pulling Yun Shu Nian down, Mu Qi also stopped.
Seeing this, Yun Shu Nian shook Mu Qi's hand again, but with less force than before.
"You don't want to hold hands?" Mu Qi's heart felt like it was being scratched by cat claws, hurting intensely. For a moment, he forgot that Yun Shu Nian had initiated holding his hand, and how could Yun Shu Nian not want to hold his hand?
Yun Shu Nian was just overthinking, afraid of losing him.
"Mu Qi, why were you walking so fast just now, not waiting for me!
And why are you holding on so tight? Showing off that your hand is bigger than mine?!"
Yun Shu Nian became angrier as she spoke and shook Mu Qi's hand again.
Naturally, their hands remained tightly clasped.
What could he say?
Was he supposed to tell Yun Shu Nian that he saw her being intimate with that yoga instructor that day?
If Yun Shu Nian skipped the step of escaping to that island and just left with that yoga instructor, what would he do?
"Nothing." Mu Qi lowered his gaze, restraining himself.
However, Yun Shu Nian's reaction was seen by Yun Shu Nian as Mu Qi being perfunctory.
But what could Yun Shu Nian do?
She couldn't do anything either.
She couldn't get angry with Mu Qi and push him away.
"Oh," Yun Shu Nian replied faintly, and with Mu Qi's hand in hers, she walked forward.
After returning to the company, Yun Shu Nian insisted that Mu Qi sleep with her.
Once the person beside her was breathing evenly, Mu Qi opened his eyes.
