"You saw the video played in the mansion, didn't you?" Mu Qi, uncharacteristically, did not meet Yun Shudian's gaze, his eyes lowered to her collarbone.
Mu Qi's voice was deep, which should have been soothing, but Yun Shudian felt as though she had been struck by lightning. Sudan Fiction Network
"I... I didn't." Yun Shudian's eyes darted around nervously, unsure how to explain to Mu Qi.
Before long, Mu Qi suddenly shook Yun Shudian's hand off his sleeve.
Yun Shudian's heart tightened, and she quickly reached out to grab Mu Qi's hand.
But Mu Qi was faster.
As Yun Shudian reached for Mu Qi's large hand, his own hand had already grasped her slender wrist.
Yun Shudian cautiously watched Mu Qi, her other hand quickly covering the hand that was holding her wrist.
Mu Qi, however, did not spare her a glance.
"Mu Qi, let me explain. I did see it, but..."
"Let's go home first." Before Yun Shudian could finish, Mu Qi abruptly pulled her away.
Yao Zhen, who was about to bring Yun Shudian into the house, called out. Seeing Mu Qi and Yun Shudian still hurrying along, she silently watched Yun Shudian's retreating back with gratitude.
Yun Shudian was led to the passenger seat by Mu Qi, while Mu Qi took the driver's seat.
And Shan Gong was... on the road, quietly eating the exhaust fumes of this Maybach.
Yun Shudian hadn't had a chance to properly observe Mu Qi's expression. However, judging by the speed at which Mu Qi fastened her seatbelt and the speed of the car, which was like an arrow loosed from its string, Yun Shudian could feel how angry Mu Qi was.
The Maybach sped down the road at an astonishing pace, but Yun Shudian was indifferent to the road ahead, her gaze fixed on Mu Qi's profile.
Within minutes, the black Maybach came to a steady stop at the entrance of Qi Yuan.
Mu Qi still gave Yun Shudian no chance to explain. He got out of the car, unbuckled her seatbelt, and then unceremoniously slung her over his shoulder.
Yun Shudian's cheeks flushed slightly, but she didn't struggle.
Aunt Ning, seeing this scene, maintained a calm demeanor, but her heart was in a turmoil.
Mu Qi walked quickly, and even with Yun Shudian on his shoulder, he felt very steady.
Soon, Yun Shudian was unceremoniously thrown onto the large bed in the master bedroom.
Then, Mu Qi loomed over her.
Mu Qi's lips met Yun Shudian's.
Mu Qi's lips were cold, Yun Shudian's were warm and soft.
But this only intensified Mu Qi's desire to dominate, to bite, to swallow those soft lips whole.
With this thought, Mu Qi acted.
Mu Qi fiercely ravaged Yun Shudian's lips, while staring intently into her clear eyes, as if searching for tears, yet also dreading to see them.
Ultimately, however, Yun Shudian did not shed any tears. Instead, Mu Qi froze.
Yun Shudian's hands, instead of pushing him away, coiled around Mu Qi's neck, pulling him down towards her.
Their breaths mingled, and Mu Qi's thoughts became chaotic.
Yun Shudian's thoughts, however, were remarkably clear.
She wanted Mu Qi to calm down, to appease his anger. But as Mu Qi froze, instead of pulling away as she had initially planned, Yun Shudian deepened the kiss.
Finally, it was Mu Qi who gently pushed Yun Shudian away when he saw that she was struggling to breathe.
After they had created some distance, Yun Shudian panted for air, while Mu Qi quietly watched her.
Nian Nian was different now. Nian Nian loved him, didn't she?
In the past, every time Yun Shudian eloped with Zuo Nan and was caught by Mu Qi,
Mu Qi would press Yun Shudian onto the bed for a desperate, clinging embrace. He used this method to warn her that she was his, his Madame Mu.
At the same time, it was as if only in this way could Mu Qi briefly deceive himself into believing they were inseparable.
But this time, Yun Shudian had easily dispelled Mu Qi's unease.
As Mu Qi pondered this, Yun Shudian seized his lips again.
This time, however, Yun Shudian was on top, and Mu Qi became the one who passively received the kiss.
Yun Shudian's embrace was so forceful that it left deep marks on Mu Qi's lips.
Yun Shudian, who was highly sensitive to Mu Qi's emotions, did not sense any "danger" from him, and thus became even more immersed and focused.
This continued until evening, when Yun Shudian's stomach protested.
Only then did Yun Shudian reluctantly get up from Mu Qi's body, intending to fill her stomach.
However, Mu Qi, whose desire had been ignited and was now fiercely suppressed, did not let Yun Shudian go so easily.
The moment Yun Shudian began to rise, Mu Qi pulled her back.
"You're tired, let me."
"Mu Qi!"
"Mmm."

"Young Master?"
"Young Master."
Meanwhile, at the Imperial Capital Central Hospital, Zuo Nan lay on a thin single hospital bed, his eyes closed.
The people beside him did not care whether he needed rest.
"Young Master!" A bodyguard who had served the Zuo family for many years shouted impatiently.
Zuo Nan on the hospital bed began to breathe rapidly, his brow furrowed. He opened his eyes in annoyance.
Seeing the bodyguard's cold expression, Zuo Nan was about to lose his temper.
However, the bodyguard spoke first, cutting off the anger that was about to erupt from Zuo Nan.
"The Patriarch has arrived," the bodyguard said. Without giving Zuo Nan a chance to react, he immediately raised his bed.
Zuo Nan consequently saw the Zuo family Patriarch, Zuo Zhen, standing before him with a face full of fury.
Zuo Nan's expression turned panicked, and he immediately averted his gaze.
However, with a slight flick of Zuo Zhen's finger, a person nearby forcefully turned Zuo Nan's head towards Zuo Zhen, leaving him no room to escape.
"You threatened the Yao family, who have deep roots in the Imperial Capital, and ended up exposing your pile of messy affairs to everyone!"
"You've been in the company for only a few months and dared to embezzle company funds privately."
"We Zuo family members do not do such things!" Zuo Zhen glared, his lips trembling slightly with emotion.
As Zuo Zhen finished speaking, Zuo Nan, who had been struggling, froze.
What did that mean?
