The more Chu Yaqin thought about it, the more she felt like a bastard, just like the scumbag in TV dramas who would attack his wife without any explanation.
She guiltily smoothed the stray hairs at Mu Liuyun's temples and spoke as gently as possible, "Oh, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."
"It's okay, it's nothing."
Mu Liuyun still had a bewildered expression.
Misunderstand?
What misunderstanding?
Seeing Mu Liuyun's bewildered expression, Chu Yaqin thought that she had reminded Mu Liuyun of bad memories and that this was causing her to feel depressed. She stroked Mu Liuyun's hair from her temples to her head, then gently stood up and embraced Mu Liuyun.
Mu Liuyun instinctively wanted to struggle, but after thinking about it, she stopped. Satisfying Chu Yaqin was her most important task today.
This not only concerns his future life, but also allows him to obtain an internship certificate from Chu Yaqin, at which point he will have unlimited freedom.
"Little maid, don't be angry. You lied to your sister, so your sister punished you. But if your sister misunderstood you, your sister will punish you too, okay?"
Chu Yaqin's tone was as gentle as possible, making it strange that an unmarried girl could be so maternal.
But Mu Liuyun paid no heed to this maternal instinct and gentleness. Instead, she heard the crucial word "punishment" and excitedly asked, "Master, what punishment are you talking about?"
Chu Yaqin immediately frowned.
"Sure, you can punish me however you want!"
With Chu Yaqin's permission, Mu Liuyun became even more excited. She lifted her head slightly in Chu Yaqin's arms, her lips almost touching Chu Yaqin's cheek: "Can you shorten my time as a maid and let me go home before dinner tonight!"
"roll!"
Chu Yaqin's arms, which were wrapped around Mu Liuyun's back, suddenly tightened...
...
...
As the moon rose, Chu Yaqin sat in her luxury car in the garage of the Chu family villa, gritting her teeth as she looked at Mu Liuyun behind her.
Mu Liuyun leaned back in her seat, smelling the strong scent of women's perfume in the car, and lowered her head dejectedly, not daring to look at Chu Yaqin.
After enjoying Mu Liuyun's massage in the afternoon, Chu Yaqin teased Mu Liuyun for a while before asking Mu Liuyun to make dinner.
Mu Liuyun resorted to the same trick as in the morning, dawdling until dark.
Chu Yaqin didn't realize the problem at first, until after the meal, Mu Liuyun asked her in a high-pitched voice, "Master~ are you satisfied? I have to go home to take care of Grandpa."
Upon hearing this, even Chu Yaqin realized that Mu Liuyun wasn't cooking so many dishes out of concern for her at all, but rather to reduce the time they spent together and complete her punishment for the day in a way that would satisfy her.
"You, you, are perfectly fine!"
Although Chu Yaqin was furious, Mu Liuyun really had to go home to take care of Old Master Mu, so she couldn't say anything, otherwise she would be too inconsiderate.
What she found even more unacceptable was that after Mu Liuyun prepared dinner, she actually brought some dishes home, and even asked her for the lunchboxes.
Outraged, Chu Yaqin asked Li Guang to buy her a lunchbox, and then personally escorted Mu Liuyun home.
There's nothing I can do; she's the one who likes it.
Throughout the journey, Chu Yaqin maintained a gritted-teeth expression, a stark contrast to her usual charming and confident demeanor.
Mu Liuyun didn't dare to provoke a powder keg at this time, so she sat in the back seat and obediently watched the scene outside the window.
Before long, they arrived at the entrance of the residential area where Mu Liuyun lived.
Mu Liuyun quickly opened the car door: "Miss Chu, thank you for taking care of me today. I hope we'll meet again someday!"
Mu Liuyun spoke these words at the fastest pace he had ever used in his life. If he had to say something, he wished he could just get off the bus and run home. He hadn't been home all night because he couldn't find his phone, and even though Chu Tianxing had explained things to Old Man Mu for him, he still wanted to hurry back and let them know he was safe.
"etc!"
"?"
Chu Yaqin suddenly called out to Mu Liuyun, still looking at Mu Liuyun with that gritted-teeth expression, but her tone of voice was as alluring as ever.
"Remember to come to my company in a couple of days, and I'll give you an internship certificate."
Mu Liuyun frowned: "No need, I'll figure it out myself."
Originally, he thought it would be great to have an internship certificate. But after this day of joyful torment, Mu Liuyun still couldn't figure out what Chu Yaqin really wanted. Did she want him to be Lin Yurou's substitute, or simply to be her maid?
As the old saying goes, serving a ruler is like serving a tiger. No matter how good the relationship between Old Man Mu and Chu Tianxing was, he didn't want to get involved. At worst, it was just missing a day of class; he'd skipped classes before, it was a minor matter!
Chu Yaqin seemed to have already guessed what Mu Liuyun was going to say, and said with a hint of provocation in her eyes, "That won't do~ I've already had HR contact your homeroom teacher. If you don't do your internship here, you'll fail all your classes this semester!"
"I will contact you, but I hope you can contact me as well."
After saying that, Chu Yaqin stepped on the gas and sped away from the neighborhood, leaving Mu Liuyun dumbfounded, breathing in the exhaust fumes.
After returning home, Mu Liuyun contacted her counselor, Sister Li, hoping that what Chu Yaqin said was not true.
Unfortunately, when Sister Li received Mu Liuyun's call, she was very excited and said happily, "You're really something, managing to intern at the Chu family! Don't worry about your internship, I've applied for it for you. As long as you get the internship certificate, you'll pass all your courses this semester!"
Mu Liuyun was usually grateful for Sister Li's kindness, but today he suddenly understood why some students felt that Sister Li was a busybody.
He hung up the phone, feeling both amused and exasperated. Then, glancing at Old Man Mu's smug expression beside him, he suddenly felt hopeless about life.
"Hey, Xiaoyunzi, you didn't come back all night yesterday. Is that Chu family girl's love nest really that tempting? Tell me in detail."
Mu Liuyun ignored the old man with his yellow teeth and instead secretly knocked on Mu Xiaoxi's closed door.
Logically, Mu Xiaoxi should be in her school dormitory at this time, since she wasn't allowed to commute to school at the beginning of the semester. But Mu Xiaoxi is in her room with the door locked.
I heard from Old Man Mu that Mu Xiaoxi worried about him all night yesterday and went to Shuiyilan to look for him today.
"Silly child..."
Mu Liuyun felt a warmth in her heart: "Xiaoxi, your brother is back."
The wooden door remained unresponsive, as if it were just a wooden door.
