Mu Qi remained silent, his gaze lowered, his lips pressed together.
Yun Shu Nian was taken aback by Mu Qi's seemingly wronged expression, utterly unable to understand what had suddenly come over him.
"What's wrong? Do you miss me?" Yun Shu Nian stepped forward, hugged Mu Qi, and then kissed him on the cheek.
"Did you forget something?" Mu Qi's voice was quiet, and he uncomfortably glanced to the side.
"Huh?" Yun Shu Nian's attention was entirely focused on Mu Qi, and she couldn't recall what she had forgotten.
Seeing Yun Shu Nian's continued silence, Mu Qi pressed his lips together even tighter.
Finally, Aunt Ning, who was standing by, grew anxious. She silently walked over to Yun Shu Nian and whispered something in her ear.
Yun Shu Nian immediately understood.
"Mu Qi, just wait a moment."
With that, Yun Shu Nian turned and dashed upstairs to the bedroom. From the bedside table, she retrieved the gift she had intended to give Mu Qi.
Last night, she had forgotten her bag but had brought out the two couple's T-shirts.
However, seeing Mu Qi completely drenched, she had gotten flustered and forgotten to present the gift.
"Mu Qi, this is the gift I picked out for you yesterday." Yun Shu Nian handed the simple plastic bag to Mu Qi.
Mu Qi's gaze was instantly drawn to the plastic bag.
"Can I open it now?" Mu Qi asked, his eyes fixed on the plastic bag.
Yun Shu Nian replied, "Of course."
Receiving Yun Shu Nian's confirmation, Mu Qi carefully opened the outer bag.
A large red heart peeked through another layer of transparent packaging.
Mu Qi, still with a look of nervous anticipation, peeled off the second layer of plastic packaging.
"Mu Qi, you can just tear it open. This layer of packaging isn't pretty anyway and isn't useful."
Yun Shu Nian was getting impatient and wanted to snatch the plastic bag from Mu Qi to help him open it.
But Mu Qi abruptly clutched the bag to his chest, the sound of cheap plastic echoing through the vast villa.
"I'll do it myself."
Mu Qi held the large red heart in one arm and pushed back Yun Shu Nian's outstretched hand with the other.
"Okay, do it yourself."
Yun Shu Nian looked at Mu Qi, his eyes as bright as stars, and thought, 'How can this man be so adorable!'
Was this still the same cold and heartless CEO?
Yun Shu Nian mused inwardly.
Then she felt something was amiss. Mu Qi had always been stoic.
He had never been cold or heartless towards her.
A minute later, Mu Qi finally managed to remove the transparent packaging.
He carefully unfolded the garment, and the two large red heart couple's T-shirts reappeared before Yun Shu Nian.
"Ahem, Mu Qi, do you like it?"
The cheap 'big red hearts' stood in stark contrast to Mu Qi's refined features, and Yun Shu Nian suddenly felt nervous.
Mu Qi's clothes were all custom-made, with the finest materials meticulously chosen.
Yun Shu Nian wondered if her choice of clothing had been too self-indulgent.
"Perhaps I can have someone replicate this design and make a new set for us, one for each of us?"
Seeing Mu Qi staring at the clothes without speaking, Yun Shu Nian tugged at his sleeve and suggested.
"Is this really for me?" Mu Qi asked, his gaze fixed on the T-shirt in his hand.
Yun Shu Nian couldn't decipher Mu Qi's mood and responded cautiously, "If you don't like it, it doesn't have to be."
"Who else were you planning to give it to besides me?" Mu Qi's eyes turned cold, and the clothes in his hand were gripped tighter, creating more wrinkles.
"It's a couple's T-shirt, so of course, there's no one else besides you. I was just worried you might not like it," Yun Shu Nian stiffened, scratching her head.
"This is for me, so it is mine," Mu Qi emphasized, looking down at the T-shirt in his hands.
Seeing Mu Qi's cherished attitude, Yun Shu Nian suddenly felt that while her intentions had been good, her approach had been too hasty.
"Mu Qi, give it to me first. I'll have someone make two new ones exactly like this.
I'm worried about the material quality, and it might be uncomfortable to wear."
Mu Qi thought for a moment, then nodded. Sudanshan Novel Network.
Recalling Yun Shu Nian's delicate skin, Mu Qi felt that while he could endure it, Yun Shu Nian's skin was too tender.
"Okay, okay, give it to me first then." Yun Shu Nian reached out to take the two red heart shirts, but Mu Qi once again dodged her hand.
"I'll find someone myself."
With that, Mu Qi carefully placed the two shirts back into the cheap plastic bag.
He even put both couple's T-shirts into his briefcase and took them away.
Yun Shu Nian nodded a couple of times, and then, seeing that Mu Qi was going to take them to the company, her heart felt a pang of sadness.
Had she given Mu Qi too few gifts?
Yun Shu Nian felt a little dejected.
She hoped that one day, when Mu Qi received a gift from her, he would accept it more naturally.
-------------------------------------
Mu Qi, the head of the Mu Corporation, had ascended to this high position in his teens.
He had already heard tales of Mu Qi's ruthless methods, as Mu family's exclusive tailor.
Being suddenly summoned to the company and directly to Mu Qi's office made him extremely nervous.
Even Qi Yuan wouldn't have made him this anxious.
"Patriarch, you summoned me."
After knocking a few times and receiving Mu Qi's permission, the tailor nervously opened the door to Mu Qi's office.
"Mm."
Mu Qi glanced up at him and responded with a cheerful affirmation.
Then, he carefully took the clothes Yun Shu Nian had given him out of his briefcase and spread them on the desk.
Seeing how carefully Mu Qi handled them, the tailor was afraid he might pull out a bundle of dynamite from the bag.
It wasn't until Mu Qi had neatly displayed the two couple's T-shirts on his desk that the tailor breathed a sigh of relief.
However, these two T-shirts were too ugly!
In his eyes, accustomed to various fashion shows, they were simply garbage devoid of any aesthetic appeal.
Could it be that the Patriarch intended to test his skills?
Did the Patriarch plan to change tailors?
With that thought, he quickly stepped forward and picked up one of the T-shirts.
"Patriarch, don't worry. I will definitely transform this into a masterpiece of the fashion world."
"Put it down!" Mu Qi's gaze fell on the tailor's hand, and his expression immediately darkened.
The tailor was startled by Mu Qi's reaction and cautiously placed the item he considered trash back on the table.
"Make two identical ones exactly like this," Mu Qi said, pulling the tailor back a step, then carefully smoothing out the T-shirt again.
