The sleepiness in Diao Guan's eyes immediately halved.
"Yun Shunan, you're awake? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?" Diao Guan looked at Yun Shunan, her eyes sparkling despite the dark circles beneath them.
Yun Shunan blinked, as if she had seen a ghost.
Could this person be Diao Guan's brother?
"Who are you?" Yun Shunan asked suspiciously.
Diao Guan frowned at Yun Shunan.
"Are you amnesiac? Or have you gone foolish?"
Yun Shunan immediately lifted her foot and kicked Diao Guan to the ground.
It was indeed that foolish Diao Guan.
"Yun Shunan! You..." Diao Guan cried out in pain, about to curse, but then he suddenly thought of Mu Qi, and his anger instantly extinguished.
Diao Guan looked towards the spot where Mu Qi had stood all night, only to find that Mu Qi was no longer in the room.
"Where is Mu Qi?" Yun Shunan remembered Mu Qi holding a knife to her neck last night, her heart suddenly clenched, and she immediately got out of bed to go out.
"Mu Qi." The tears in Yun Shunan's eyes made her voice almost inaudible.
But luckily, Mu Qi had been watching her.
"I'm here."
Mu Qi's voice came from behind Yun Shunan. Yun Shunan thought she was hallucinating and turned around very slowly.
It wasn't until she saw Mu Qi standing by the door that the tears began to stream down uncontrollably.
Would she be sad seeing him?
Mu Qi pursed his pale lips, then turned away with restraint.
Unexpectedly, Yun Shunan suddenly threw herself onto Mu Qi, sobbing for a long time.
Mu Qi stiffened, feeling helpless.
Diao Guan, who followed closely behind, saw this scene and felt the tension in his nerves, which had been tight all night, ease slightly.
He could finally get some sleep.
Diao Guan: "Since she's alright. I'll take my leave then."
No one responded to Diao Guan, but he touched his nose, feeling not at all awkward.
Yun Shunan cried herself tired, and Mu Qi was still stiffly rigid in his helplessness.
"Mu Qi, does it hurt?" Yun Shunan tilted her head up, her fingers following her gaze to the red scratch on Mu Qi's neck.
"It doesn't hurt," Mu Qi attempted to speak.
Yun Shunan shot him a glare, and Mu Qi immediately changed his words.
"It hurts, it hurts a lot."
"Serves you right," Yun Shunan replied fiercely.
"Yes, I deserve it," Mu Qi conceded.
"Why did you do it? Why?" Yun Shunan looked at Mu Qi's wound and couldn't help but tear up again.
"Punishment."
Looking at Yun Shunan's tear-filled eyes, Mu Qi felt for the first time that carrying a dagger was a bad habit.
"Punishment for me or for you?"
Mu Qi's naturally cold eyes held a hint of confusion and fear.
He didn't understand.
"Do you know that if you got hurt, I would wish I could take your place?"
Mu Qi's pupils constricted.
"Otherwise, how about I make an identical cut here?" Yun Shunan challenged Mu Qi.
"It shouldn't be like this," Mu Qi embraced Yun Shunan tightly.
"But this is how I feel, Mu Qi."
"It shouldn't be like this," Mu Qi repeated, his eyes filled with disbelief and incomprehension.
He had never imagined Yun Shunan would have such thoughts.
"Then can you promise not to scare me like this again?" Yun Shunan's emotions calmed down.
Mu Qi nodded repeatedly.
Yun Shunan: "But you were too much yesterday, I'm still very angry."
"Whatever you want, it's fine."
A bitter smile flickered across Mu Qi's lips. He dared not think too much, only knowing that Yun Shunan must not be hurt.
"Then I'll punish you... I'll punish you by letting me do whatever I want with you tonight."
She had to take control, otherwise she would be traumatized.
Yun Shunan thought this in her heart, and her eyes brightened.
"Okay," Mu Qi said, relieved at hearing this, agreeing readily, though it was clear he didn't quite understand what Yun Shunan meant.
"You can't resist, understand?" Seeing Mu Qi agree so readily, Yun Shunan looked up suspiciously and emphasized to Mu Qi.
"Okay."
"Madam, breakfast is ready," Aunt Ning's voice came from downstairs.
Yun Shunan reflexively pushed Mu Qi away, pretending nothing had happened.
Seeing Yun Shunan's reaction, Aunt Ning knew she had heard.
Aunt Ning smiled, knowing Yun Shunan was shy, and went to the kitchen.
"Let's go eat. I'll take you to see Yao Zhen this afternoon." Mu Qi reached out to stroke Yun Shunan's head, but Yun Shunan instinctively dodged.
The memory of last night was still vivid...
Mu Qi's phoenix eyes instantly dimmed.
Yun Shunan realized and took Mu Qi's hand, placing it on her head to stroke.
The light in Mu Qi's eyes slowly rekindled.
Mu Qi grabbed Yun Shunan's hand, intending to lead her downstairs, but Yun Shunan pulled him back.
"Wait a moment, I'm going to get some medicine." Yun Shunan said, then returned to the bedroom.
After Yun Shunan had seen Mu Qi bleed a few times previously, she had placed a large first-aid kit under the bed.
Mu Qi followed Yun Shunan back to the bedroom.
"If you ever hurt yourself like this again, however much blood you shed, you'll shed the same amount on me! Do you hear me?"
Yun Shunan's tone was fierce, but the force of her hand was gentle.
"Yes, I won't," Mu Qi understood that Yun Shunan cared deeply for his well-being, but he didn't feel her love.
Mu Qi was ill.
Deeply ill, gravely ill.
After breakfast, Mu Qi was worried about Yun Shunan, and Yun Shunan still felt very tired, so she stayed at Qi Yuan.
However, what Yun Shunan didn't know was that the black Maybach did not head to the company, but to the hospital.
...
"Mr. Mu, you're finally here. When can you help me? I'm so scared."
In the stark white hospital room, Yao Zhen immediately got out of bed upon seeing Mu Qi.
"Do you remember what happened after you fainted?"
Mu Qi did not answer her question, instead asking something else.
Yao Zhen was stunned, then said uncertainly.
"I think I saw Shengsheng."
"She's not!" Mu Qi immediately retorted.
"She is Yun Shunan, my wife. I will bring her to see you this afternoon.
If you still want my help, then don't speak nonsense!"
So, she really was Shengsheng...
