"Ning Yi, that box inside is my diary."
Ning Yi remained noncommittal. "Is that so? Then please open it for me to see."
"Ning Yi, although I'm married to your young master, I'm still considered a young lady, aren't I?"
"Yes, you are." Ning Yi was taken aback, puzzled by Yun Shounian's statement.
Yun Shounian pressed on. "Then can't young ladies have secrets? Can't they have privacy?"
"Ning Yi is experienced, so you naturally understand that young girls sometimes have hidden thoughts they don't want to share with others. Ning Yi should understand, right?" Yun Shounian finished by blinking her large, watery eyes at Ning Yi.
Ning Yi gently shook the still sandalwood box, and her heart softened.
"Ning Yi, could you give me a little private space?"
Ning Yi looked into Yun Shounian's bright, crescent-shaped eyes, where a hint of tears seemed to glimmer. Startled, she immediately placed the wooden box back on the table.
"Please eat your meal quickly." Ning Yi returned to the dining table, waiting for Yun Shounian to finish eating so she could clear the dishes.
Seeing this, Yun Shounian breathed a sigh of relief and quickly began to shovel food into her mouth.
She needed to eat more to have the strength to go find Mu Qi.
Finally, Yun Shounian finished every last grain of rice in her bowl. Ning Yi took the bowls and chopsticks and left the bedroom.
Yun Shounian glanced at the closed bedroom door and quickly grabbed the wooden box from the table, hiding on the other side of the bed.
Password. What password would Mu Qi set?
Yun Shounian thought for a moment and tried her own birthday first.
Incorrect.
Yun Shounian then tried Mu Qi's birthday.
Incorrect.
What could it be? Yun Shounian scratched her head.
...
It went on like this until evening. After Yun Shounian finished dinner, she hugged the sandalwood box and tried different number combinations repeatedly.
However, Yun Shounian, who had been awake for over twenty-four hours, clearly couldn't hold on any longer.
Yun Shounian slumped against the bed, hugging the wooden box, her head nodding lower and lower until she finally collapsed onto the floor and fell asleep.
"Baby, give it to me. We'll divorce, and I'll let you go." Then, a splash of blood.
Yun Shounian jolted awake from her nightmare. Looking at the familiar room by the moonlight, Yun Shounian realized she had been dreaming.
The events of the nightmare replayed uncontrollably in Yun Shounian's mind.
Yun Shounian suddenly grasped a key word.
Divorce.
Divorce was probably what Mu Qi cared about the most.
With this thought, Yun Shounian quickly picked up the wooden box and entered their wedding anniversary.
Indeed, the box opened, and a golden key appeared before Yun Shounian's eyes.
...
"Mu Qi, please eat something. You fainted again this morning without even having time to eat," Diao Guan said, holding a spoon of millet porridge to Mu Qi's lips.
Looking at the spoon inches from his face, Mu Qi remembered the scene of Yun Shounian feeding him porridge that night.
"Mu Qi?"
Diao Guan's voice interrupted Mu Qi's memories.
Mu Qi closed his eyes. "Diao Guan, you shouldn't have saved me." The moment he decided to let Yun Shounian go, Mu Qi had no intention of living.
To Mu Qi, everything in the world besides Yun Shounian was utterly boring.
"Mu Qi, isn't it just one Yun Shounian? There are many exciting things in this world besides women. Why must you be fixated on one woman?"
Mu Qi asked softly, "Then why is it that the entire world is not worth one Yun Shounian?"
"This..."
Diao Guan rubbed his forehead.
After all, this was Mu Qi, the president of Mu Qi Group, the tyrant. It was impractical for Diao Guan to use forceful methods on him. It seemed the one who tied the knot must also untie it.
Diao Guan pulled the blanket up for Mu Qi, then turned to leave, intending to plan his strategy.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Diao Guan stepped out of the ward, his phone rang.
"What's going on?"
"Dr. Diao, the young madam is here, insisting on seeing the young master."
The rough voice of a bodyguard reached his ears. Diao Guan raised an eyebrow, not expecting Yun Shounian to show up on her own.
"Make her wait there. I'm coming down." Diao Guan hung up and walked towards the elevator. Su Dan Fiction Network.
...
"Diao Guan, hurry up and tell them to let me through," Yun Shounian commanded as soon as she saw Diao Guan's figure emerging from the inpatient building.
"If you want to see Mu Qi, you have to agree to a few conditions first." Diao Guan glanced at Yun Shounian's pajamas, his expression stern.
Yun Shounian looked at Diao Guan's detestable face, took a deep breath, and suppressed her anger. "What conditions? Tell me quickly."
"First, Mu Qi is currently very weak; you cannot intentionally provoke him. Second, make Mu Qi eat obediently. Third, make Mu Qi cooperate with treatment."
Yun Shounian gave Diao Guan a look that said "Are you stating the obvious?" and urged, "Let me in quickly."
At this moment, Diao Guan unhurriedly produced a prepared agreement. Yun Shounian pressed her fingerprint on it without even looking.
Then she flung the paper in Diao Guan's face.
Quack! A quack who talks nonsense!
Yun Shounian knew Mu Qi must be in the VIP ward on the top floor of the hospital, so she rushed to the elevator. To her surprise, just as the elevator reached the top floor and before she had walked far, she bumped into a familiar embrace.
"Mu Qi, why are you out here? How are you feeling now?" Tears instantly welled up in Yun Shounian's crescent eyes as she reached out to touch Mu Qi's pale face.
Baby is at Qiyuan. How could he be here?
Mu Qi looked at Yun Shounian before him, thinking he was hallucinating.
Seeing Mu Qi remain silent, Yun Shounian grew more worried.
Just as Yun Shounian was about to check Mu Qi's pulse, Diao Guan's voice suddenly came from behind her.
"Mu Qi, why are you out here!" Diao Guan ran over nervously, grabbing Mu Qi's arms to pull him back to the ward.
However, Mu Qi shook him off.
Mu Qi frowned, bypassed Yun Shounian, and walked towards the elevator.
But Yun Shounian quickly grabbed his hand. "Mu Qi, where are you going?"
Mu Qi didn't speak, and Yun Shounian became increasingly worried and frightened.
Mu Qi felt the grip on his hand and looked at Yun Shounian with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
It felt so real.
Seeing the two of them at a standstill, Diao Guan became anxious and gestured for Yun Shounian to quickly lead Mu Qi back to the ward.
Yun Shounian pulled Mu Qi's hand, attempting to guide him towards the ward.
However, Mu Qi simply looked at Yun Shounian without moving.
Diao Guan was even more confused about the situation. "Mu Qi, haven't you been wanting to find Yun Shounian? Now she's here, where else do you want to go?"
