Yun Shu nian looked up at Mu Qi with a playful smile, smoothing the turmoil in his heart.
Mu Qi bit into Yun Shu nian's nape, as if venting something, yet restraining himself with all his might.
Sensing Mu Qi's unease, Yun Shu nian reached out and stroked his back, indulging and soothing him.
When she thought that Mu Qi could overthink so much just because she felt shy and wanted to keep a little distance from him when others were around, Yun Shu nian didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
She was both delighted that Mu Qi cared so much about her, and inevitably felt a blush of shyness.
But she understood that Mu Qi needed to gain a sense of security in this way.
After figuring this out, Yun Shu nian felt a headache coming on.
Was there no way to have the best of both worlds? Did she have to be shameless?
Thinking this, Yun Shu nian unconsciously touched her own cheek.
Just how thick did it need to be?
...
Yun Shu nian was still contemplating when Mu Qi, who had been nibbling on her neck, suddenly moved to her lips.
"Mmmph."
Yun Shu nian was caught off guard, her lips parting in surprise, which only made it easier for Mu Qi to "conquer."
Yun Shu nian's thoughts were abruptly interrupted. Looking at Mu Qi's incredibly exquisite features before her, her face burned.
Damn it, her skin was still too thin!
"I'm sorry, I was too much."
A quarter of an hour later, Mu Qi finally released Yun Shu nian, whose lips were swollen from his kisses.
Mu Qi calmed down and saw Yun Shu nian, her face flushed and lips swollen, his phoenix eyes filled with helplessness and guilt.
He was losing control more and more.
"Baby, don't be angry, I was wrong. You can punish me however you want."
"Baby." Mu Qi's voice was hoarse, on the verge of tears.
Yun Shu nian, whose eyes had been hazy, felt her heart clench with Mu Qi's voice, and her crescent eyes quickly cleared.
Before Yun Shu nian could form words to allay Mu Qi's worries, she suddenly felt a dampness on her shoulder and neck.
"Baby, I'm sorry, kill me if you want, I'm so miserable..." Mu Qi began to fear. He would never hurt Yun Shu nian, but he couldn't bear to face her in such a possessive way, the way Yun Shu nian disliked the most.
Panic and anger suddenly washed over Yun Shu nian, and she shoved Mu Qi away.
At this moment, Mu Qi's phoenix eyes were brimming with tears, his sorrowful expression impossible to ignore.
Yun Shu nian abruptly cupped Mu Qi's chin, turned his face towards her, and then leaned in, kissing him with the same intensity as Mu Qi had moments before.
This time, it was Mu Qi who was stunned.
Looking at Yun Shu nian so close, Mu Qi's thoughts became a mess.
They were both lost in the kiss.
After an unknown amount of time, Yun Shu nian finally released Mu Qi, panting for breath.
Tears still clung to Mu Qi's eyelids, and his lips were bitten open by Yun Shu nian, blood seeping from his already crimson lips.
Mu Qi had yet to recover.
Yun Shu nian inexplicably found Mu Qi looking so tender and adorable, a stark contrast to his usual cold and ruthless CEO persona.
Seeing Mu Qi like this made Yun Shu nian's heart flutter.
Yun Shu nian couldn't resist planting another big kiss on Mu Qi's cheek, then slowly wiped away the blood from his lips.
As the sound of Yun Shu nian kissing Mu Qi's cheek echoed through the office, Mu Qi blinked.
"What should I do, Mu Qi? I think I'm even more excessive than you! Are you going to kill me?" Yun Shu nian gently stroked Mu Qi's face, the same possessiveness as Mu Qi's subtly showing.
Mu Qi's Adam's apple bobbed. He then gently lifted Yun Shu nian from his lap.
He was a little flustered. He had never seen Yun Shu nian like this before, at least not when she was sober.
"Mu Qi, you..." Yun Shu nian calmed down and panicked when she saw Mu Qi not looking at her, appearing to be focused on work.
Had she been too impulsive just now?
Was this different from the Yun Shu nian that Mu Qi liked?
Yun Shu nian pursed her lips, feeling at a loss. It took a long time for her to convince herself to return to the sofa and not act rashly.
Thus, Yun Shu nian endured her inner unease, holding Mu Qi's phone and drifting through the morning in a daze.
Yun Shu nian watched as the hour and minute hands on the clock overlapped, then couldn't help but walk up to Mu Qi.
"Mu Qi, it's noon. Let's go eat." Mu Qi gave no response.
Yun Shu nian's thumb and index finger pinched her nails until they turned white.
Yun Shu nian couldn't help but grab Mu Qi's wrist on the desk.
Mu Qi looked up at Yun Shu nian, following her slender hand.
"Hmm?"
Mu Qi seemed to have just noticed Yun Shu nian approaching, and the tightly clenched knot in her heart relaxed slightly.
"It's noon, Mu Qi." Yun Shu nian still subconsciously pursed her lips after speaking.
"Mm, what do you want to eat." Mu Qi gently pushed away Yun Shu nian's hand and began to sort through documents.
Yun Shu nian stared blankly at her hand, which had been pushed away by Mu Qi, and was speechless.
"Why don't we go home." Mu Qi said to himself.
Yun Shu nian remained silent. After Mu Qi finished organizing his documents, she quickly grabbed his hand again.
Yun Shu nian held on very tightly, but Mu Qi merely glanced in her direction before quickly averting his gaze and leading her outside.
Yun Shu nian followed Mu Qi uneasily. Neither of them spoke until they got into the car.
Shan Gong, who had just been reassigned to Mu Qi's side, sensed the unusual atmosphere and dared not even breathe.
If Yun Shu nian was still thinking about escaping every day, Shan Gong wouldn't have been so nervous.
Shan Gong was all too familiar with the series of events that happened before and after Yun Shu nian's escape; he had grown numb to it.
However, now that Yun Shu nian wasn't trying to escape, everything was filled with uncertainty.
It was fine when the young master and Yun Shu nian were sweet to each other, but when the atmosphere became tense.
Shan Gong felt a knife hanging over his head, and he didn't know when it would fall...
"Mu Qi, why are you avoiding me?"
Yun Shu nian's voice suddenly came from behind. Shan Gong felt the knife hanging over his head beginning to waver precariously.
