Yun Shu nian tiptoed, one hand gripping Mu Qi’s tie, the other on his shoulder. Her nose brushed past his jawline.
Mu Qi lifted Yun Shu nian, letting her sniff and examine him closely.
Mu Qi: "What are you looking for?"
Yun Shu nian remained silent.
Later, she found herself ridiculously amused. Mu Qi never let anyone get close to him except for her; what was she even worried about?
Thinking this, Yun Shu nian still felt uneasy.
"Mu Qi, I love you." As she spoke, Yun Shu nian bit down lightly on Mu Qi’s jaw.
Mu Qi’s heart fluttered uncontrollably. He pulled Yun Shu nian closer, then lifted her chin and, with the surging tide in his phoenix eyes, pressed his lips to hers.
For a moment, the usually stern and cool office was filled with sounds that made one blush and heart pound.
"Mu..."
Yun Shu nian immediately pushed Mu Qi away, retreating from his embrace and turning to look at Assistant Li, who stood frozen at the doorway.
"Cough." Yun Shu nian walked into Mu Qi's lounge, embarrassed, but the more embarrassed she felt, the more uncooperative the door seemed.
Yun Shu nian twisted the doorknob, trying multiple times without success.
The entire office was silent except for the sound of Yun Shu nian fiddling with the lock. Suddenly, a hand covered her small one, and with a slight movement from Mu Qi, the door swung open.
"Thank you." Yun Shu nian said, and before Mu Qi could respond, she quickly shut him outside.
Mu Qi looked at the white door in front of him, his lips curling upwards uncontrollably.
Shy?
She likes me.
Yun Shu nian likes Mu Qi.
Assistant Li, who had been standing at the door, finally came to his senses. He didn't know whether to go in or retreat.
How could he have stumbled upon the CEO and his darling wife being intimate? Could he still keep his job as an assistant?
Assistant Li wanted to cry.
"What is it?" Assistant Li reflexively turned towards Mu Qi as the voice spoke.
Assistant Li snapped back to reality and immediately walked to Mu Qi's desk with the financial statements.
Assistant Li glanced at Mu Qi, who was sitting in his office chair.
Although Mu Qi's face was expressionless at the moment, Assistant Li's sharp senses told him that their CEO seemed to be in a good mood.
Seeing this, Assistant Li felt reassured and began to calmly recount the company's recent financial situation.
Meanwhile, Yun Shu nian, in the lounge, was far from as composed as Assistant Li.
Leaning against the door, Yun Shu nian's pounding heart perfectly illustrated what it meant to have a fluttering heart.
They had just been at the door!
Yun Shu nian patted her flushed cheeks, then ran to the bed and hid herself under the covers.
Yun Shu nian only intended to hide for a while until her emotions calmed down before coming out. However, after Assistant Li left, people kept coming in. Consequently, Yun Shu nian accidentally fell asleep.
...
"It's lunchtime, baby. I'll take you to eat."
Sunlight cast a golden hue on Yun Shu nian's profile. Mu Qi gently picked her up, letting her lean against his chest, and softly caressed her face.
"It tickles." Yun Shu nian turned her head and buried herself in Mu Qi's embrace.
"It's lunchtime, baby. Let's go eat." Mu Qi patiently repeated in Yun Shu nian's ear.
Before they were married, Yun Shu nian would likely have scolded him loudly if he got too close.
But now, he could hold his baby in his arms, so close, so intimately.
This was something Mu Qi had never expected.
He cherished this light immensely, yet he grew more greedy.
Mu Qi stared at Yun Shu nian intently, as if he wanted to devour her.
Soon, the beast in his phoenix eyes was about to break free. Mu Qi gently placed Yun Shu nian back on the bed and covered her lips.
"Mmmph." Soon, Yun Shu nian, struggling to breathe, was forced to open her eyes.
Yun Shu nian pushed against Mu Qi's chest with her hands, trying to break free.
However, due to Mu Qi's kiss and her grogginess from just waking up, Yun Shu nian lacked strength and couldn't push him away at all.
Her hands pressed against Mu Qi's chest, appearing less like resistance and more like an invitation.
Mu Qi cupped the back of Yun Shu nian's head with one hand, his other gripping her slender waist, and possessed her like a never-satisfied beast.
Yun Shu nian's face turned bright red. After an unknown amount of time, Mu Qi finally released her.
Yun Shu nian gasped for air, the feeling of near suffocation familiar but never something she could get used to.
"Why can't you breathe yet?"
Yun Shu nian felt her ear grow hot. Mu Qi's voice was low and magnetic, sounding like a seduction.
Hmph! Seduction what seduction. I almost lost my life.
Yun Shu nian grabbed Mu Qi's shoulders and bared her canines.
Mu Qi chuckled. Yun Shu nian, who had been annoyed, began to sway with his laughter.
"I'll teach you." Mu Qi said, and then he leaned in again.
Yun Shu nian staggered to the side, scrambling off the bed in a panic.
"Mu Qi, let's go eat. Let's have lunch." Yun Shu nian, too shy to meet his gaze, turned and walked out of the lounge first.
Mu Qi threw his head back onto the bed, a sweet smile on his lips, bathed in the golden sunlight.
Many, many years from today, the once-obsessive and gloomy Mu Qi would finally see the clouds part and the moon shine through, melted by the little sun he had finally claimed.

"I want to see your Mr. Mu."
"Miss Yao, I'm sorry, but Mr. Mu is not here." The receptionist at Mu Corporation looked at the person in front of her, who was dressed lavishly but was being unreasonable and demanding. She felt helpless and nervous.
"I don't care, I just want to see your Mr. Mu. Hurry up and contact her!" Yao Yue, the daughter of the chairman of Yao Corporation, pointed angrily at the receptionist of Mu Corporation, looking determined to get what she wanted.
"Miss Yao, please calm down. If you continue like this, I will have to call security." The receptionist took a half-step back, steeling herself to explain to Yao Yue.
"Hmph, no need. I'll wait outside myself!" Yao Yue paused for a moment, then managed to calm herself down and went to the entrance of Mu Corporation to wait for Mu Qi.
She had already been escorted out by security once. Even though she didn't want to, she had been powerless against their force. Su Dan Novel Network.
But she could wait. She was determined to see Mu Qi today!
