"Looking for something?" Seeing no sign of Mu Qi, Yun Rong felt a pang of disappointment.
Meeting Yun Shu Nian's gaze, Yun Rong immediately put on a pitiful expression. "Sister, listen to me. That day at my birthday banquet, Wang Ya Feng deliberately framed me. She deliberately guided me to say those things.
Sister, she's just trying to sow discord between us sisters. You mustn't fall for her tricks!"
Deliberately sowing discord? In her previous life, Yun Shu Nian would have believed Yun Rong's lies. However, having witnessed Yun Rong's true colors in her past life, these falsehoods held no weight with Yun Shu Nian.
Still, she wanted to know why Mu Qi had suddenly handcuffed her.
Yun Shu Nian suppressed the darkness within her and adopted an understanding demeanor. "Sister, don't worry. Wang Ya Feng is an outsider. Of course, I trust you more."
Yun Rong thought to herself, "As expected, she's still the same idiot."
Yun Rong relaxed and casually pulled the chair Mu Qi used at work to Yun Shu Nian's bedside, then sat down.
Yun Shu Nian's lips tightened, forcing herself to suppress her anger.
Yun Shu Nian pinched the flesh on her stomach beneath the covers, forcing out a few tears, and tested Yun Rong. "Sister, I really can't stay here anymore. I want a divorce."
Upon hearing this, a flicker of joy flashed in Yun Rong's eyes.
Yun Rong clasped her hands, gripping the one of Yun Shu Nian's hands that was exposed. She feigned sincerity. "Sister, don't worry. I came today to help you."
Yun Shu Nian glanced at the place where their hands were joined, feeling a strong sense of revulsion.
Hands, Yun Rong, were something she shouldn't have!
Yun Shu Nian turned her gaze to the window, trying to ignore Yun Rong's hands.
This scene was interpreted by Yun Rong as Yun Shu Nian's extreme pain.
Yun Rong's guard lowered further. She spoke with ease, "Sister, don't worry. Everything is under my control."
Yun Rong's hands caressed the chains Yun Shu Nian wore, her eyes filled with jealousy.
Yun Shu Nian turned her head instantly at this. "Sister, what exactly is going on?" It really was related to Yun Rong!
Yun Rong smiled, looking confident of victory. "Sister, you were delivering documents to Zuo Nan a few days ago, weren't you?"
"Sister, how did you know?" Yun Shu Nian's mind began to race.
The person who had secretly photographed Yun Shu Nian and Zuo Nan had acted under Yun Rong's orders.
Since Zuo Nan was heartless, Yun Rong naturally wouldn't let the Zuo Corporation interfere with her plan to become Mrs. Mu.
Just as Yun Shu Nian was about to confirm further, the bedroom door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
Yun Shu Nian looked up in surprise at the tall figure before her. "Mu Qi? Weren't you going to..."
"Get out." Before Yun Shu Nian could finish, Mu Qi grabbed Yun Rong by the collar of her shirt and lifted her up.
"Sister, quickly explain to President Mu. We were just talking!" Yun Rong's heart leaped as she felt herself being lifted.
Although Mu Qi only grabbed Yun Rong's collar, the close proximity...
Yun Shu Nian frowned. "Mu Qi, let her go."
Mu Qi paused at her words but soon dragged Yun Rong towards the door.
Fortunately, the chain was long enough. Seeing this, Yun Shu Nian got out of bed and placed herself between Mu Qi and Yun Rong. "Mu Qi, let her go."
If Mu Qi forcefully threw Yun Rong out now, he would injure Yun Shu Nian. He finally stopped. Sudan Novel Network
"President Mu, Nian Nian likes Zuo Nan. If you truly like her, then let Nian Nian go!" Yun Rong pleaded, feigning sisterly concern.
"Shut up!"
Mu Qi stepped past Yun Shu Nian, gripped Yun Rong's throat, and flung her aside.
Yun Rong, seizing the moment to catch her breath, immediately ordered Yun Shu Nian, "Sister, quickly threaten him with suicide!"
However, this only served to enrage Mu Qi further.
Mu Qi's eyes turned scarlet. He tightened his grip on Yun Rong's throat, increasing the pressure. Yun Rong was already rolling her eyes in agony.
Yun Shu Nian cried out, "Mu Qi!"
Seeing this, Yun Shu Nian tried to pry Mu Qi's hands away. Her strength was no match for Mu Qi's.
Seeing this, Yun Shu Nian helplessly hugged Mu Qi, burying her face in his neck. Tears soaked his clothes, and her voice was choked with sobs.
"Mu Qi, please let her go, please! Mu Qi, please."
Yun Shu Nian's crying pulled Mu Qi back from the brink of madness.
Feeling the soft body in his arms, Mu Qi subtly lessened his grip.
However, Yun Rong, who was gradually recovering, saw them in an embrace and was filled with resentment.
Noticing that Mu Qi's attention was entirely on Yun Shu Nian, Yun Rong quickly took a sharp knife from her bag and stealthily placed it into Yun Shu Nian's embrace.
Yun Shu Nian, still reeling from her earlier emotions, dazedly reached out and took the knife.
Yun Rong, believing Yun Shu Nian understood her intention, said, "President Mu, look at what you've driven my sister to. Please let her go!"
Mu Qi heard this and immediately lowered his head, looking at Yun Shu Nian.
Yun Rong felt a sharp pain at her neck and quickly got up, distancing herself from Mu Qi and Yun Shu Nian.
Mu Qi looked at the knife in Yun Shu Nian's hand, his phoenix eyes filled with pain. "Baby."
The seemingly noble and cold Mu Qi actually used such a doting term for Yun Shu Nian!
Overwhelming jealousy made Yun Rong want to gnash her teeth.
Mu Qi extended his hand to Yun Shu Nian, finally conceding. "Baby, don't do this. We'll divorce, and I'll let you go."
Yun Rong's lips curved upwards, a smile she tried desperately to suppress but couldn't.
This was it. As long as Mu Qi gave up on that fool Yun Shu Nian, she would definitely have a chance.
Yun Shu Nian was still lost in her emotions and hadn't fully registered what Mu Qi was saying.
However, subconsciously trusting Mu Qi, Yun Shu Nian handed the knife to him.
To everyone's surprise, upon receiving the knife, Mu Qi immediately turned and plunged it into his own heart.
Yun Shu Nian's pupils contracted sharply. She lunged forward to block the knife.
But Mu Qi's movement was quicker.
Bright red blood splashed onto Yun Shu Nian's face. She watched as Mu Qi fell before her once more.
Yun Rong's smile gradually froze.
How could this be? Mu Qi was willing to sacrifice his life for Yun Shu Nian!
"How could this be... how could it..."
Yun Shu Nian, stunned, called out Mu Qi's name, "Mu Qi."
"Mu Qi!" Yun Shu Nian screamed and rushed to embrace him.
Yun Shu Nian's cries quickly attracted the servants. Yun Rong, seeing this, trembled and retreated.
Aunt Ning also quickly contacted Diao Guan.
Soon, Diao Guan and his team rushed Mu Qi to the hospital. The previously crowded bedroom was now left with Yun Shu Nian alone, curled up in a corner with her chains.
-------------------------------------
After a night passed, Diao Guan sat by Mu Qi's bedside, drowsy.
Until Mu Qi, who had been treated by him and several doctors all night, suddenly raised his hand and pulled out the intravenous needle.
Diao Guan, who had been dozing off, snapped awake and immediately rushed over to stop Mu Qi.
