Chapter 118 Yun Shu Nian Returns to the IT Industry to Find Mu Qi

"Nian Jie, you've finally contacted me again!" A young, timid male voice came from the other end.

"Xiao Si, come pick me up," Yun Shu Nian said calmly, her foot pressing down on the burly man.

"Nian Jie, are we finally going to meet in person!"

Xiao Si, on the phone, yelped excitedly. Yun Shu Nian moved the phone away with disdain.

"Nian Jie, where are you now? I'll be there immediately."

After stating an address, Yun Shu Nian hung up the phone.

"Uncle, it seems you haven't quite grasped the situation yet," Yun Shu Nian smirked wickedly, suddenly increasing the pressure of her foot.

The man pinned beneath Yun Shu Nian's foot let out a pained groan, his eyes rolling back.

After an unknown amount of time, Yun Shu Nian released the pressure. She leaned down and threatened the man, "Remember this: if you see a young girl like me again, you'd best steer clear. If I catch you having ill intentions towards other young girls, I promise your future days will be far from comfortable."

"I understand. My dear lady, I... I won't dare again," the man desperately seized the moment to speak and immediately pleaded with Yun Shu Nian.

Yun Shu Nian withdrew her foot and tossed the phone back at the man's chest.

Lying on the ground, the man stared blankly at Yun Shu Nian's retreating back. She looked no different from the first time he saw her. She still appeared to be a woman with no power to resist. Yet, now, he harbored no further thoughts, only deep fear.

Shortly after Yun Shu Nian left, she arrived at the coffee shop where she had arranged to meet "Xiao Si."

The coffee shop door was suddenly flung open with a bang, drawing the attention of everyone present towards the entrance. Everyone, that is, except Yun Shu Nian, who sat in a corner, lost in her own thoughts.

A handsome man wearing sunglasses and an expensive-looking casual outfit entered the coffee shop. He scanned the area in the direction Yun Shu Nian had indicated.

Is this Nian Jie? This isn't quite what he imagined. When he had interacted with Nian Jie before, her actions were always unpredictable and decisive. Could this delicate, somewhat aristocratic girl in a pink silk dress truly be his Nian Jie?

Without realizing it, Xiao Si had walked up to Yun Shu Nian's table. Yun Shu Nian sensed his presence and put down her coffee cup.

"Xiao Si, it's me, Nian..." Unlike Xiao Si's excitement, Yun Shu Nian's reaction was calm, as if she had known him for a long time.

"Oh my god, it really is Nian Jie!" Reacting swiftly, he put his left index finger into his mouth, staring at Yun Shu Nian in disbelief.

"Nian... Nian Jie, how did you recognize me?" Xiao Si stammered, looking at the soft and adorable Yun Shu Nian before him. The title "Jie" felt a bit difficult to utter.

"Silly, I could hack into your camera," Yun Shu Nian, having lived two lives, looked at Xiao Si as if he were a child.

Alright, he forgot that Nian Jie was a god in the IT world. While he wasn't bad himself, compared to Nian Jie, it was like comparing the heavens to the earth.

"Nian Jie, are you coming back?" The Yun Shu Nian of the IT world in Xiao Si's mind began to merge with the Yun Shu Nian before him.

"Mm, it's time to come back," Yun Shu Nian said thoughtfully, gazing into the distance outside the window.

In her previous life, she knew many things. Her mother had always told her to be low-key and to bide her time. But before her mother could teach her how to retaliate when others harmed her, she had left this world. In her past life, she believed that if she was sincere, others would be sincere in return. Ultimately, she was manipulated, and the person who loved her most, Mu Qi, was harmed. In this life, she was determined to make those people pay and to hold onto Mu Qi tightly.

"Nian Jie?"

Xiao Si waved his fair hand in front of Yun Shu Nian. Yun Shu Nian snapped back to reality and turned to look at him.

"Nian Jie, come with me. I'll take you to eat something delicious," Xiao Si grinned, revealing his white teeth, his eyes filled with admiration for Yun Shu Nian. He knew the number one great god of the IT world! This was enough to brag about for a lifetime.

"Eating delicious food isn't necessary, I need to operate some equipment."

"Alright, no problem, Nian Jie. I'll take you to our base right away."

"Base?" Yun Shu Nian looked at Xiao Si, confused.

"Yes, Nian Jie. After you announced your retirement, shortly after, I met up with Old Brother One and Old Brother Two, and we established a base in the capital where we discuss and improve together." As Xiao Si spoke, he became more and more excited, gesticulating wildly to show Yun Shu Nian what their base was like.

Yun Shu Nian, however, remained listless, showing little interest.

By the time Yun Shu Nian arrived at the base Xiao Si mentioned, she walked straight to a screen covered in lines of code. Xiao Si quickly pulled out a chair for her. Yun Shu Nian raised her hand and began typing on the keyboard before her.

Xiao Si watched, dumbfounded, at Yun Shu Nian's typing speed, which was too fast for the naked eye to follow. Truly, a great god was a great god.

Soon, a small red dot appeared on the screen.

"Nian Jie, are you looking for someone? Who is it, Nian Jie?"

"My husband."

"Husband!!" Nian Jie, this young lady is already married! "It must be a guy worthy of our Nian Jie!" Xiao Si blurted out unconsciously.

Yun Shu Nian's fingers, which had been rapidly typing on the keyboard, suddenly stopped.

"Do you know about the Mu Qi Group?"

"Yes, I do."

Xiao Si, belatedly realizing, asked, "Nian Jie's husband is an executive at Mu Group?"

"No, Mu Group belongs to my husband."

"Mu Group belongs to Nian Jie's husband???" After a moment of shock, Xiao Si's eyes turned into sparkling stars.

Not long after, Yun Shu Nian confirmed Mu Qi's location. Seeing that Yun Shu Nian was about to leave, Xiao Si immediately grabbed her arm.

"Nian Jie, since you're back, can I have your contact information?"

Under Xiao Si's eager gaze, Yun Shu Nian pulled her hand away and left without looking back. "If I have time, I'll look for you again."

Qi Yuan Living Room

"Young Master, it was my fault for not keeping a close eye on the Young Madam. Please punish me."

At this moment, Mu Qi was pacing back and forth anxiously, his hand supporting his forehead. The day was drawing to a close, and the living room was dim. However, no servant dared to turn on the lights.
