C86 You Bullied Madame

The living room and the dining room weren't that far away from each other. That's why when Ning Qianyu started to yell, the men could hear every word they were saying.

"What is this nonsense?" Yan Rui's eyes widened in disbelief. Although he knew that Wen Qianer was stubborn, he didn't realize she was that stupid. He was just about to stand up when Mu Shengchen held him back.

Seeing the man's darkening gaze, he sat back in his original seat.

Yan Rui was the one who had taken care of the villa. He was also the one who had given the job to Wen Qianer because of her experience and qualifications. What he didn't expect was for her to give more problems than she could handle.

It was just Young Master's first day back, and they were already encountering problems. "Fuck," he said underneath his breath, watching the scene unfold in his very eyes.

"You really don't know?" Ning Qianyu clutched the brocade in her chest.

Wen Qianer's plan was to make her give up on Mu Shengchen completely. The nanny probably hadn't been here for a year, and she thought it was right to steal the man from her? Hmph! Even he would stand by her side!

"We can ask Mr. Mu to judge the matter."

Her eyes widened. "No need."

Ning Qianyu had secretly made the heart knot. She didn't even tell him that this was the reason she had gone out that night. If he knew what she was thinking...it was meant to be a surprise! She shook her head.

The smile on Wen Qianer's face turned smug.

See? The woman couldn't even face him! That meant their relationship was only so-so. After all, they've barely gotten to know each other.

"Hmph! You may not want to, but I do." Wen Qianer puffed out her chest and stomped in the direction of the dining room, unaware that the men were actually listening to the entire conversation.

As soon as she had entered the dining room, the mocking expression on her face had vanished. Instead, it was replaced with something so sickly sweet that even Yan Rui had to resist rolling his eyes. "Mr. Mu, I want to ask a favor."

Mu Shengchen looked past Butler Wen and stared at Ning Qianyu.

While Wen Qianer's figure was proud and domineering, Ning Qianyu's was silent and shaking. She looked like a lamb that was up for slaughter! Her head was bowed, and she didn't dare look at anyone.

His gaze immediately fell from her face onto the colorful satin in her hands. Satin? Where did that come from? Was that the reason she had gone out last night? Despite the many questions running through his mind, his eyes still remained cold.

"Speak."

He had actually meant that for Ning Qianyu, but Wen Qianer thought it was meant for her. Her cheeks immediately flushed in excitement at the thought of being noticed. "She accused me of breaking her things," she said proudly. "I want to ask you to judge."

"What was broken?"

Upon hearing his question, she turned around and stepped in Ning Qianyu's direction. She extended her hand.

The woman lowered her head and didn't move. "I said, give it to me!" Wen Qianer glowered at her as she went to snatch the knot from her hands, however, it started to prove even more difficult.

Ning Qianyu clenched her fist, refusing to let go.

Despite this, Wen Qianer wasn't going to give up that easily. "Give it!" she said through gritted teeth as she pried the woman's fingers away. Even Ning Qianyu had to wince from the sudden force.

While Mu Shengchen wasn't saying anything, his dark eyes instantly turned sinister. The entire room had dropped by a few degrees, and veins started popping from his jaw.

Yan Rui didn't dare to breathe. How could Wen Qianer be this ignorant? Not only did she tear the satin, but she even dared to bully Madame in front of Young Master? What the hell?

"Let go!" Wen Qianer finally pulled with all her might.

The heart knot fell onto the ground.

The colorful satin was quite eye-catching against the white floorings. It would've been beautiful if it hadn't been torn so recklessly. Even the woven colors were fascinating to see.

Ning Qianyu squatted down in panic. However, just as she was about to pick it up, Wen Qianer had already snatched it away. "No!" she shouted, but it was to no avail.

"Mr. Mu, it's this thing." Straightening her shirt, she plastered a flattering smile on her face as she handed the knot for the man to see.

The moment Mu Shengchen had seen it, he sneered. "Who asked you to steal it from her?"

If the air could turn into ice, it would have already.

"I..."

He gritted his teeth. "Why the hell did you touch this?"

Wen Qianer could feel her body trembling, and the heart knot slid from her fingertips. The air around her felt like ice shards penetrating into her skin. Even if she wanted to breathe, she couldn't.

His eyes narrowed and he snatched the knot from the woman's hands.

"Yan Rui, throw her out," he snarled. Without another word, Mu Shengchen controlled his wheelchair towards Ning Qianyu. She was standing in the middle of the room, staring at him now.

Yan Rui didn't even hesitate as he turned to Assistant Wei. "Call someone to send Butler Wen away."

When Wen Qianer heard the man's words, she froze. Tears started to stream down her cheeks as she lowered her head in response. "Why am I being sent away?" she snapped. "What did I do wrong?"

"You looked down on your Boss, you even damaged their stuff." He glared at her.

"I've never done anything wrong in my three years in this villa!" Wen Qianer snapped resolutely, crossing her arms over her chest. "You can either give me a reason or I'm not leaving this place!"

"You want a reason?" Yan Rui raised an eyebrow as he pointed at the scene happening before them.

Wen Qianer turned around to see Mu Shengchen carefully bringing the heart knot to Ning Qianyu. This was the first time she had seen her boss so...soft and loving over a woman. Despite this, Ning Qianyu still hadn't looked up. "You've gone to buy satin last night," he stated.

She looked up at him. Her eyes were bloodshot, and her bottom lips were trembling. Her tear-streaked face could make any man's heart ache in pain.

"What are you crying for? You can just sew it back in," he said softly, raising his hand to wipe the tears away.

"I–I worked so hard for it," she stuttered.

"Then, I'll help you, okay?" Mu Shengchen insisted, pulling her into a hug. She buried her head into his chest, as he rested his chin on her head. "I'll make it up to you."

"You promise?" Her wide eyes stared up at him. When he nodded, she stopped crying and slowly nodded. "I can go buy some satin later, so we can make it again."

"No need." He turned. "Yan Rui, go and buy some satin for us."

The way the two interacted with each other made them all feel as if they were watching a play. Even Assistant Wei was wide-eyed at the sight. He had always witnessed the Young Master to be cold and icy. But this...this was certainly a sight to see.

Yan Rui, who had been watching them this entire time, suddenly heard Mu Shengchen's order. He couldn't even react for a moment, still mesmerized by the scene unfolding before him. It was only when the man shot him a glare did he finally get his act together.

"Right away." His gaze fell on Wen Qianer, who had been staring at them in a daze.

"You've already upset Young Madame once, but she chose to forgive you. And now you've gotten greedy." He sneered. "If Young Master Chen wasn't distracted, do you think you'll be able to leave the villa still?"

Wen Qianer stared at the intimate couple, and her cheeks flooded with shame.

No wonder President Yan had said that she looked down on her boss.

Hell, she didn't look down on her boss! She even had the nerve to bully her! "What did I do?" she whispered to herself, clutching her head. "What the hell did I do?"

Yan Rui gave Assistant Wei a look. The man simply nodded and led the woman out of the villa.

The air around them had lightened almost completely, and a small smile graced Ning Qianyu's features. He kissed the sides of her hair and she tilted her head in response. "Let's eat first, okay?"

"Okay." Standing up, she happily pushed Mu Shengchen into the dining room. The moment she entered the room, she found that everyone had disappeared. She pursed her lips. "Hey, where's President Yan? I just saw him here..."

She hadn't heard that Mu Shengchen ordered Yan Rui to buy the satin they needed.

"He's busy," he said casually.

"Oh." She placed the fish belly in his bowl. As they were eating, Butler Wen crossed her mind, and she immediately pursed her lips. "Don't make things difficult for Butler Wen. Please."

"After what she did to you?" Mu Shengchen's face soured. With her attitude, she should be thankful that he hadn't ordered Yan Rui to cut off her hands! Destroying property that wasn't hers, disrespecting her boss, what the hell did that woman do right?

"But she's not your butler," she continually insisted with a smile. "Besides, we'll be staying here for a few days. It's best if we don't make things so difficult for him."

He paused. "She let you cry."

"That's because I've worked so hard on it." The glint in her eyes dulled completely. "But that doesn't mean that I want her to be punished for it...Maybe she has a good reason..."

A good reason? Mu Shengchen decided not to butt in as he placed some more pork on her bowl. "Fine, I won't let Yan Rui do anything to her." She's just fired, nothing more.

"All right."

As soon as they finished their meal, Yan Rui had already bought the colorful satin over. Now, the two were weaving heart knots in the living room. Everything else was forgotten.
