"I did use force."
"I didn't rush to deal with Helian Xin back then because I still owed Helian Bochen some favors. I wanted to wait until Helian Bochen's illegitimate son was found, and then end things when she had nowhere else to turn. But then something happened... I don't remember. I just let her get away with it for five years. Before I fully regained my memory, I remembered some fragments..."
Shi Youxi reached out and tapped Mu Yiran's left shoulder near her chest. "I fired a shot right here."
Because of her splitting headache, which made her aim poor, and thanks to Shi Si's timely intervention, Helian Xin escaped a terrible ordeal.
"..." Mu Yiran looked at him in shock.
“Helian Xin and her mother remarried and moved to H country, but at the time I was not thinking about finding her, I was only thinking about finding you.”
"But still, she got away..."
After he finished speaking, he just stared at her with no expression on his face, but the hand gripping Mu Yiran's waist was about to tear her clothes.
Like a little kid who apologizes and then waits to be scolded.
What's this?
So Shi Youxi didn't actually let Helian Xin go?
A knot in the corner of my heart was suddenly smoothed out, followed by an awkwardness and confusion.
"...Then why didn't you say that just now? Why did you ramble on and on trying to get me to yell at you?"
Mu Yiran looked him up and down several times, incredulous: "How's your illness? You look so sick... You haven't developed Stockholm Syndrome yet, have you?!"
"....."
Shi Youxi didn't answer her question. Instead, he lifted Mu Yiran onto his lap and said, "I don't like you saying this is just your business. No matter what it is, your business is related to me."
"I hope my sister will tell me everything."
Mu Yiran scoffed, "Even if you didn't say anything, you would have known, wouldn't you? You already knew what happened at the studio this afternoon, didn't you? You arranged the security personnel, and you probably knew when those agents came in, but you didn't say anything... just to wait for me to come to you?"
Otherwise, there's no way to explain why the security personnel appeared at such a perfect time.
Shi Youxi gave her the respect and freedom she wanted, but he still marked the boundaries of this freedom, within the range that he could control.
Shi Youxi noticed the fleeting displeasure Mu Yiran couldn't hide, and he quickly said:
“I didn’t! You don’t want to, so I won’t do it. It’s true that I arranged the security personnel, but I told them to just wait for your instructions. I only found out that someone was causing you trouble when you called, so I called the person who notified you.”
"I want to know everything about you, but I want you to tell me more about when you'll open up to me a little." Shi Youxi raised her hand and pressed it against her left breast, feeling the throbbing there.
"When will my sister be able to rely on me the way I rely on you?"
Whether it's Helian Xin or those scoundrels from the Wen family, Shi Youxi hopes she will tell her even if it's just a small matter.
"....."
Mu Yiran felt very awkward. Her breathing was rapid, and her heart was racing. She held it in for a moment, but finally couldn't hold it in anymore, "Why are you in such a hurry... We're already married, aren't we..."
"..." Shi Youxi frowned in confusion, then his brow twitched when he realized what she was talking about!
"?!"
"What do you mean?" Shi Youxi asked, his eyes shining brightly.
Mu Yiran didn't want to talk about it anymore. She couldn't even eat a meal in peace with him!
She tried to jump, but Shi Youxi grabbed her hip and pressed her down. The sensation was so strong that Mu Yiran gasped.
"Shi Youxi, are you ever going to stop?!"
Shi Youxi ignored him and continued to act unreasonably: "Sister! What do you mean we're already married?!"
"What do you mean! Tell me!"
She was too embarrassed to speak, so Shi Youxi pinched the soft flesh on her waist and groped her body, saying, "Tell me, tell me what you mean."
"Damn..." Mu Yiran's face flushed red. She grabbed Shi Youxi's head with one hand and pinched his cheek with the other, blocking him from view. "What else could it mean! It means there's still plenty of time! I'll always be with you..."
Before she could finish speaking, Shi Youxi acted as if he had won the lottery, not caring whether he won a hundred or a million. He was so happy that he was like a fool. He pressed down on her calves and lifted her up.
"--ah!"
Mu Yiran felt like she was about to throw up the food she had only eaten a few bites of. Feeling dizzy and disoriented, she was carried a few steps away. Shi Youxi kicked open a door, and Mu Yiran was forced to put on the soft sofa.
She lay on her back, seeing her own face reflected in the colorful mosaic glass of the ceiling. She remembered this was the workroom Shi Youxi had left for her; the unique ceiling design seemed familiar…
Then Shi Youxi pressed down on him.
Whether Shi Youxi did it on purpose or not, he actually placed a very large folding sofa in the studio on the first floor.
The sofa, a custom-made model shipped from Italy, was completely ruined by Shi Youxi's antics, along with all the cushions from various brands.
Shi Youxi kept reassuring her, "I'll handle it, no one will see..."
“…”
Mu Yiran was disturbed by him until evening, and after finishing the dinner that Shi Youxi brought, she fell into a deep sleep.
Before she completely drifted off to sleep, she heard the dog muttering in her ear:
"Sister, you said we have a long future ahead of us..."
"You will give me what I want. You are mine, body and soul!"
…
Mu Yiran actually met Ai Ni on the morning of the day she was going to the program crew's dinner party.
Upon hearing that Ai Ni had arrived, she ran straight from the restaurant to the front hall, only managing to catch a glimpse of an Aston Martin driving away on the mountain road.
“Madam! This is the Ai Ni I mentioned to you.”
Shi Jie walked up to her with a girl, unable to hide her smile: "Ai Ni, this is Madam."
Ai Ni's prepared self-introduction went completely blank the moment she saw Mu Yiran. Seeing the video posted by Shi Youxi, that intense sense of familiarity returned.
Mu Yiran, unaware of what she was thinking, extended her hand generously and chuckled, "Ai Ni~ Miss?"
Ai Ni snapped out of her daze, "Yes, Madam!"
Mu Yi stared at her face and sighed in admiration. Indeed, a woman with a beautiful bone structure defies the ravages of time. Ai Ni at 23 years old is practically unchanged from Ai Ni at 7 years old. Time seems to have truly stopped in the past six months...
Mu Yiran smiled unconsciously: "What level are you on in the Sokoban game now?"
Ai Ni asked in surprise, "...How did Madam know I play this game?"
Mu Yiran reacted quickly, swiftly pushing the message to someone who wasn't present, "Haha! Uncle Lin told me!"
Ai Ni visibly looked disappointed. "I see..."
Even she herself didn't know that her old phone had so many games, and that she had even spent money on them. There were many signs that she was unfamiliar with, all indicating that these habits of hers were caused by one person.
That person was neither Guan Shiyan nor anyone else.
After eliminating all other possibilities, Ai Ni was left with only Cheng Ran, whom she had once protected but who was now dead.
But she had no recollection of Cheng Ran at all; she only remembered that she had neglected her duty and left Cheng Ran's side, failing to protect people in the final moments of the building's collapse.
These unfamiliar yet intense feelings of guilt made her unwilling to stay inland. Coupled with other reasons, Ai Ni was transferred to northern Myanmar, until Shi Youxi sent her another video...
But now, seeing the person in person, Ai Ni suddenly understood why the young master had sent her that video.
Was it subtly telling her... that the woman in front of her was actually Cheng Ran, the one she had protected before?
The two greeted each other with their own thoughts in mind. Just then, Mu Yiran was about to go out, and Ai Ni immediately offered to drive her. Shi Jie suggested accompanying her, saying that he would show Ai Ni around the area, but Ai Ni declined somewhat awkwardly.
Feeling a bit down, I offered to treat Ai Ni to dinner as a welcome-back feast, but unexpectedly, I was rejected again!
To use a phrase he learned from surfing inland these past few days: This was truly an exhilarating invitation!
Shi Jie was very puzzled: "Why?! Once you bring Madam back, it will be your free time. If you want to play the string, I can ask my brother to talk to the master and have someone take over your shift. It's just a meal, Madam won't mind!"
But some people might mind!
Thinking of last night, Ai Ni's heart skipped a beat for a few seconds, but she tried her best to keep her tone from letting Shi Jie notice.
"I'm on standby 24/7. Not an hour less and I won't get my bonus! Don't stop me from making money!"
Don't let the name Shimen fool you; it's a legitimate company with a standardized and institutionalized system that requires you to clock in, calculates full attendance, and provides five social insurances and one housing fund!
Season: "...Do you still care about this little bit of money?"
If you care about money, why come back? Ai Ni earns in one shipment in northern Myanmar what he earns in a year as a bodyguard!
Shi Jie wanted to ask more questions, but he just wasn't an outgoing person. His courageous attempt to take the initiative was met with a crushing rejection, enough to keep him introverted for half his life.
He listlessly accompanied Ai Ni until Mu Yiran finished tidying up, completely unaware of Ai Ni's strange expression.
…
Mu Yiran changed into a proper outfit, touched up her makeup, and packed her essential personal items. She opened the drawer of her dressing table, intending to take out a recording pendant, but her gaze fell on a small medicine bottle next to it.
Her hand paused in mid-air. She picked up the small medicine bottle, shook it, and it was almost full... Hiss, should she—
"Sister~ what are you doing?" A lazy male voice suddenly rang out.
Mu Yiran was startled and hadn't even realized that she had been drawn into the man's shadow. She turned her head to look, and at the same time, Shi Youxi reached out and took the medicine bottle from her hand. His deep phoenix eyes narrowed, and he became deathly silent for a moment.
"....."
With slender fingers gripping the medicine bottle, veins bulging, Shi Youxi chuckled softly: "...Birth control pills?"
"..."
"Sister, you've done something bad behind my back again."
