Just two words, and an aura of domineering power instantly enveloped the entire living room.
Xin Yu shrank back, only able to shake her head. How could she dare to disobey!
"Yuanzi, dinner's ready!" Despite Mu Yichuan's gloomy aura, Xin Yu tried to relax her tone and called Yuanzi out. "Eat quickly, I'm starving after a busy day. After we eat, we can go for a walk."
Yuanzi didn't dare to answer, but instead glanced at Mu Yichuan, this great god. His cold, deep eyes were fixed on Xin Yu, and he showed no intention of touching his chopsticks.
"Why aren't you eating?" Xin Yu ate a little over half a bowl of rice before belatedly realizing that he hadn't eaten a single bite.
After asking, she immediately understood that he probably didn't even want… this rubbish…
Xin Yu didn't stand on ceremony anymore, and just ate silently with Yuanzi. A quarter of an hour later, they finally finished their tasteless dinner.
She cursed inwardly, but dared not show it on her face, especially since she still had to talk to Mu Yichuan later.
"I'll be at your company on time tonight... and tomorrow," Xin Yu whispered to Yuanzi while cleaning the kitchen.
Yuanzi glanced outside, somewhat worried, but also understanding that compared to Mu Yichuan, their power was far too weak.
"Will he let you go out to work?" Yuanzi asked after a long silence. She couldn't believe Mu Yichuan wouldn't tolerate it, and the way he looked at Xin Yu... his possessiveness was too strong.
Xin Yu pursed her lips. She was also worried about this. Given Mu Yichuan's emotional state tonight, the situation was far from optimistic, but...
"You have to fight for everything yourself," she said firmly, her clear eyes filled with composure and determination.
Words are easy to say, but actions are difficult to execute.
Xin Yu glanced at Mu Yichuan, who was radiating a low-key aura in the car, his hands clenched tightly in his pockets.
"I've spent so much time with you in that wretched place, how are you going to reward me?"
"Cough cough..." Xin Yu almost choked on her own saliva, nearly choking on Mu Yichuan's words.
She was both angry and embarrassed, her face instantly turning bright red. "Mr. Mu, when are you going to terminate the agreement with this wretched person like me?"
She was wretched in every way, why was he still bothering her!
Mu Yichuan stared at Xin Yu with some surprise. He had condescended to do so, and not only was she ungrateful, she was even making fun of herself!
He grabbed Xin Yu's chin, his voice sharp and cold, "Woman, don't cross my bottom line."
He had a bottom line? Didn't she?
Mu Yichuan looked into Xin Yu's stubborn eyes and suddenly realized that although this little thing always appeared submissive to him, she was full of rebelliousness deep down.
"Sharp-tongued, deserves punishment." He arrogantly gave the order.
"Why are you punishing me!" Xin Yu was practically driven mad by Mu Yichuan's unreasonable behavior.
"Because I'm your husband." He leaned in and kissed her cherry lips, a sly smile playing on his lips.
Xin Yu nearly coughed up blood, her chest heaving, her dark eyes clear yet filled with grievance.
That damned agreement…
Seeing her like this, Mu Yichuan's heart softened slightly, and he pulled her into his arms. "Be good."
Xin Yu, who had struggled fiercely, gradually calmed down under his strength and aura. She knew that a head-on confrontation wouldn't work, and stubbornness wouldn't work either.
But she truly felt wronged…
Even if his nobility and arrogance were innate, and his interactions were tinged with the habits of years of dealing with people, she hadn't begged to be with him like this!
"We're home." Mu Yichuan released Xin Yu, his hawk-like eyes calm and unwavering.
Xin Yu remained silent, getting out of the car before him, only to hear his deep, mellow voice behind her, "You still have to be punished."
She forced a smile, considering whether to risk everything and fight him; after all, he was the master and ruled by his rules…
