"Oh, here they come, the very person we were just talking about," Sister Zhao said dismissively, looking at Yun Shu Nian. The young girls around Sister Zhao also wore similar expressions.
"What, do you want to use money to take him away from me?" Yun Shu Nian stood with her back to Mu Qi, her eyes filled with a fierce glare as she looked at these delusional people.
"The handsome guy doesn't like you at all. What's the point of keeping him by your side like this?" Sister Zhao said, posing as a righteous defender and condemning Yun Shu Nian.
*I* control Mu Qi?
Yun Shu Nian looked incredulous. The situation should be the other way around!
"Handsome guy, don't be scared. We won't let this old witch control you," one of the young girls said to Mu Qi, tilting her head to comfort him.
The other girls chimed in.
Old witch!
Yun Shu Nian almost laughed in anger. How dare they call this celestial fairy an old witch!
Yun Shu Nian put her hands on her hips, intending to give these ignorant, demon-like women a good lecture.
Unexpectedly, Mu Qi suddenly scooped her up, his hands around her waist.
Faced with the sudden change, Yun Shu Nian instinctively wrapped her arms and legs around Mu Qi.
"First of all, the term 'old witch' seems more fitting for you.
Secondly, you've got it backwards. It's *I* who controls her, not the other way around."
"Handsome guy, are you being threatened? If you're being threatened, blink your eyes."
Sister Zhao and the other girls couldn't believe that Mu Qi would willingly want to keep Yun Shu Nian by his side.
Mu Qi had a cold demeanor, yet to them, he looked like a pampered puppy next to Yun Shu Nian. How could the truth be like this!
A strong sense of crisis and anger welled up simultaneously. Yun Shu Nian shifted her gaze from the group of ghastly women to Mu Qi's face and said in a commanding tone, "Mu Qi, kiss me."
Mu Qi was surprised by Yun Shu Nian's request.
Mu Qi's phoenix eyes blazed with intensity, his throat bobbed, and he fulfilled Yun Shu Nian's request by pressing his lips to hers.
Yun Shu Nian, with the air of a conqueror, tightened her grip on Mu Qi's head before he did, making the kiss even more passionate and intense.
However, her gaze couldn't help but drift towards the group of ghastly women.
Seeing their faces darken, Yun Shu Nian felt much better.
Mu Qi, not allowing Yun Shu Nian to be distracted, deepened the kiss on her lips with more fervor.
Yun Shu Nian's attention returned from the ghastly women to Mu Qi, a hint of displeasure mixed with helplessness on her face.
"Alright, you few, why are you still loitering here? Watching a public display of affection?"
A sanitation worker, sweeping fallen leaves, looked at the group of people disturbing him with annoyance.
The old man's loud voice immediately drew many eyes.
Sister Zhao, having lost face, glared at Yun Shu Nian with resentment: "You wait. I will snatch this young man from you sooner or later."
She refused to believe there was anyone she couldn't obtain with her money!
Yun Shu Nian raised an eyebrow at this and, looking at Mu Qi who was still holding her lips, bit him hard.
Monster!
For a moment, blood bloomed between their lips.
Mu Qi retreated slightly, looking at Yun Shu Nian with confusion.
"Young man, young lady. What kind of cotton candy would you like?"
A youthful voice drifted over. Yun Shu Nian suddenly realized they were still on the street.
Yun Shu Nian tried to scramble down from Mu Qi, but Mu Qi instinctively thought she was about to fall and lifted her up further.
"Mu Qi, put me down quickly." Yun Shu Nian wrapped one hand around Mu Qi's neck and covered her face with the other.
"Why?" Mu Qi asked, confused.
"Mu Qi, we're on the street. Put me down quickly." Still asking why! Isn't it obvious?
Mu Qi slowly lowered Yun Shu Nian.
Mu Qi didn't see anything wrong with being on the street; he was always under scrutiny.
Mu Qi didn't think he needed to care about these gazes. Only Yun Shu Nian mattered to him.
However, if this was something Yun Shu Nian cared about, he would naturally cooperate.
"Young man, young lady, which kind of cotton candy would you like?" the youthful voice from before called out again.
Yun Shu Nian turned her head, looking at the cotton candy shaped like "SpongeBob," "Patrick Star," and "Xiao Rong" and casually picked up a "Patrick Star."
After getting the Patrick Star, Yun Shu Nian immediately grabbed Mu Qi's hand and headed towards their car.
Yun Shu Nian walked quickly, afraid that Mu Qi would be targeted by another ghastly woman.
Really, in the future, she would have to bring a mask for Mu Qi when they went out.
Otherwise, who knew what other ghastly women she might attract.
Yun Shu Nian was contemplating how to disguise Mu Qi further when Mu Qi suddenly pulled her back.
Yun Shu Nian only smelled Mu Qi's pleasant scent and heard the sound of a car speeding by.
"Young lady, this old man knows you're upset because your man was being hit on by those people, but you need to watch where you're going. Fortunately, your man pulled you back, otherwise, someone could have been killed!"
The old man stood by the roadside, clutching his chest with one hand and holding his broom with the other, clearly shaken.
Yun Shu Nian then realized she had almost been hit by a car.
"Yes, yes, sir. Thank you for the reminder, I understand. I'll be more careful in the future." She wished there wouldn't be any more ghastly women so she wouldn't have to be so careful.
"That's right, that's right. Just be careful. You need to watch both your man and the road carefully; that's always the right thing to do."
Yun Shu Nian held Mu Qi's hand and nodded, her face flushing red.
Mu Qi's expression remained as usual, but his heart was far from calm. Su Dan Novel Network
His mind kept replaying how Yun Shu Nian had implicitly acknowledged him as her man.
...
This time, Yun Shu Nian was much more careful crossing the street, constantly watching the surrounding vehicles.
Looking at their clasped hands, Mu Qi silently abandoned the idea of buying this plot of land and prohibiting vehicle traffic on this road.
After Yun Shu Nian and Mu Qi returned home.
Yun Shu Nian collapsed onto the sofa, while Mu Qi went upstairs to his study to continue working.
What Mu Qi didn't know was that after he went upstairs, Yun Shu Nian immediately found Aunt Ning and went with her to the kitchen. She had the chefs at Qiyuan stew the ingredients she had asked Aunt Ning to prepare that day into soup.
Seeing this, Aunt Ning frowned. She didn't stop Yun Shu Nian but immediately went upstairs to report to the young master.
However, Yun Shu Nian immediately stopped Aunt Ning.
Aunt Ning, anxious, spoke before Yun Shu Nian could: "Young Madam, the young master has treated you well. I can't let you harm the young master like this."
Yun Shu Nian wasn't angry. She leaned closer to Aunt Ning and whispered a few words in her ear: "Aunt Ning, do you remember what I told you that day?"
"Ahem, I believe these ingredients can help Mu Qi. Otherwise, please double-check the recipe I gave you for any issues."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Ning called Diao Guan and relayed the contents of the recipe.
