Yun Shunian, still leaning against Mu Qi after being let down, held his hand a moment later and walked toward the bathroom.
"You use this bathroom, I'll go to the second bedroom," Mu Qi pressed Yun Shunnian's hand.
Yun Shunnian was stunned, not understanding why Mu Qi would do this. "Why?"
"Let's do it together," Yun Shunnian said, blushing, her voice soft.
"We'll continue tonight, you'll be dizzy," Mu Qi stroked Yun Shunnian's head and explained seriously.
At Mu Qi's reminder, Yun Shunnian's waist began to ache again.
"Oh."
Even so, Yun Shunnian was still a little disappointed.
With that, Mu Qi rubbed Yun Shunnian's waist and leaned in to kiss her forehead.
Yun Shunnian pushed Mu Qi away with one hand. "If we can't wash together, then stop seducing me."
Seducing?
Mu Qi hadn't expected Yun Shunnian to say that, and his smile widened.
So, he had some attraction for Niannian too.
"Okay," Mu Qi replied, turned, and left.
A quarter of an hour later, after Mu Qi had finished showering, he returned to the bedroom to wait for Yun Shunnian.
Half an hour later, when it was Yun Shunnian's usual time to finish her bath, Mu Qi walked to the bathroom door and knocked.
"Niannian?"
Mu Qi called Yun Shunnian's name several times, but there was no response from the bathroom.
Mu Qi frowned. Yun Shunnian hadn't locked the door, so Mu Qi opened it directly.
Seeing Yun Shunnian asleep in the bathtub, Mu Qi hurried to her side.
He only relaxed when he realized Yun Shunnian was asleep and carefully lifted her out of the bathtub.
Having spent the entire afternoon choosing gifts, Yun Shunnian rolled over as soon as she touched the bed and fell asleep without a care.
Mu Qi, who had initially intended to question her thoroughly, found himself strangely calm seeing Yun Shunnian sleeping soundly under the soft quilt.
As long as she was here, Mu Qi's inner beast had the most solid of shackles.
Mu Qi knelt by the bed on one knee, gazing at Yun Shunnian for an unknown amount of time.
It wasn't until the moon was about to set that Mu Qi finally relented and got into bed, pulling Yun Shunnian into his arms before closing his eyes. Su Dan Novels.
Yun Shunnian had slept early last night. As the first ray of dawn touched her slightly curled eyelashes, she dimly opened her eyes.
Her vision was filled with a honey-colored hue. Yun Shunnian leaned forward, nudging and rubbing against it.
Mu Qi suddenly woke up. Seeing Yun Shunnian lying snugly in his arms, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Awake?" Mu Qi ruffled Yun Shunnian's hair.
Still groggy from just waking up, Yun Shunnian took a couple of seconds to react to Mu Qi's voice before realizing it was him.
"Mmm," Yun Shunnian rubbed against Mu Qi's chest again. Her voice, hoarse from sleep, sounded like a playful complaint.
"Tell me, why was your phone turned off?" Mu Qi moved his hand up Yun Shunnian's waist, pulling her to face him directly.
"I didn't turn it off!" Yun Shunnian's first reaction was that an enormous burden had been placed on her.
Seeing Mu Qi purse his lips again, Yun Shunnian, worried he would hurt her lips again, hastily tried to break free to find her phone.
Mu Qi tightened his grip on her waist. "Where are you going?"
"To find my phone. I really didn't turn it off, maybe it ran out of battery?
But I clearly remember charging it the night before last."
Yun Shunnian frowned, unable to figure it out for a moment.
"Mm," Mu Qi's expression softened slightly, though his demeanor remained cool.
Soon, after washing up, they left the bedroom together.
"Young Madam, you're up so early today. Breakfast will be ready soon, Madam, please don't rush."
Aunt Ning, rarely seeing Yun Shunnian and Mu Qi come out together, greeted them with a smile.
Since Aunt Ning had heard Yun Shunnian's words last night, she had grown even fonder of her.
Most people around Mu Qi only saw his power and wealth. Few, like Yun Shunnian, genuinely hoped for his well-being.
As Mu Qi's most beloved companion, seeing Yun Shunnian's sincerity, Aunt Ning felt extremely gratified that she could become Madam Mu.
Yun Shunnian nodded, smiling bashfully, feeling that Aunt Ning's words held a deeper meaning.
"Oh, Aunt Ning, have you seen my phone?"
Yun Shunnian's gaze swept across the living room sofa, but she didn't see her phone. She asked Aunt Ning in confusion.
"Madam, your phone seems to have been left in the car. I'll have someone look for it immediately."
"No need, Aunt Ning, Mu Qi and I will go to the garage to find it ourselves." Yun Shunnian said, then took Mu Qi's hand and headed towards the garage.
"Mu Qi, we have so many cars." Once in the garage, Yun Shunnian couldn't remember which car the driver had used yesterday.
As she spoke, Yun Shunnian turned to look at Mu Qi.
She then realized Mu Qi had already walked to one of the black cars, unlocked it with his fingerprint, and retrieved her bag.
Yun Shunnian hurried over and snatched her phone from her bag first.
"See, it really is out of battery." Yun Shunnian tried to turn it on and then showed Mu Qi the low battery icon.
"Mm."
Mu Qi had already sensed Yun Shunnian wasn't lying before they arrived.
But he needed to see the dead phone with his own eyes for his anxiety, fear, and unease to dissipate.
Seeing Mu Qi relax, Yun Shunnian also felt relieved.
Yun Shunnian thought the matter was over.
She didn't expect that just before Mu Qi was about to leave for work, he suddenly brought a box of things and placed it in front of her.
"Mu Qi, what is this?" Yun Shunnian stared blankly at the pile of square-shaped items of various sizes.
"Power banks. I'll have them all charged from now on, and someone will remind you to bring them when you go out."
Mu Qi's tone was casual, and his gaze at the box of power banks held satisfaction.
"We don't need so many, do we?" Yun Shunnian looked at the colorful pile of power banks, feeling dazzled.
"We need them," Mu Qi insisted. Yun Shunnian didn't have any objections.
"I understand, Mu Qi. Go to work now." Yun Shunnian gave Mu Qi a farewell hug and waved goodbye.
