Mrs. Wang had dinner ready and saw Mr. Wang talking earnestly to Qin Muni and Xu Yisen as she walked from the kitchen to the living room.

She couldn’t help but tease, "You old man, stop bothering the kids with your endless chatting all day long."

Mr. Wang retorted, "This isn’t bothering, just some family talk."

The interaction between the two was full of affection. Qin Muni and Xu Yisen instinctively exchanged glances, recognizing deep feelings of love in each other’s eyes.

"Stop it, dinner’s ready. Munni and Xiao Xu, sorry for keeping you waiting. Come to the dining room and let’s eat together."

After some friendly banter, Mrs. Wang and Mr. Wang warmly invited Qin Muni and Xu Yisen to the dining room to dine.

"It’s okay, we just got here. Thank you for preparing dinner."

Qin Muni and Xu Yisen stood up from the sofa, politely thanked Mrs. Wang for preparing dinner, and followed them into the dining room for the meal.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was joyful, and after dinner, Qin Muni helped Mrs. Wang wash the dishes, while Mr. Wang played chess with Xu Yisen in the study.

As time passed, they felt it was too impolite to continue disturbing the elderly couple’s rest, so they left.

Back home, Qin Muni and Xu Yisen took a shower and chatted for a while before heading to bed.

Finally home, Qin Muni lay in her bed and quickly fell asleep after a short while.

However, Xu Yisen, despite lying there for some time, did not feel sleepy. Just as he was about to get up to read some documents in the study, Qin Muni’s phone buzzed once on the nightstand.

The screen lit up automatically. He casually turned on the bedside lamp and glanced at the number sending the message.

Earlier in the evening, when Qin Muni received Wang Shouyong’s call, Xu Yisen happened to glimpse the number on the screen.

The number was identical to the one from which the message had come. Xu Yisen hesitated for a moment, then glanced at the peacefully sleeping Qin Muni, reached for her phone on the bedside table, and entered the password to unlock and open Wang Shouyong’s message.

The text contained a video, lasting four minutes.

Xu Yisen raised an eyebrow slightly, curious why Wang Shouyong would send a video to Qin Muni.

He muted the phone to avoid disturbing the recently asleep Qin Muni, then clicked to play the video.

As the video began, Xu Yisen saw Qin Muni approaching the camera with determination, dressed in an alarming black dress, holding a whip in her hand.

Soon, she halted her steps, a cold and sarcastic smile in her icy gaze as she spoke a few words, then finally raised the whip.

At the moment the whip came down, the camera tilted slightly away.

In the footage, Qin Muni repeatedly wielded the whip, while the camera shook multiple times.

The four-minute video ended quickly. After exiting the video, he saw another text from Wang Shouyong... [Miss Qin, please give serious thought to what I mentioned earlier.]

The threat in the words was unmistakably clear. Xu Yisen’s brows furrowed lightly, a chilling and aloof aura spreading over his refined features.

He deleted Wang Shouyong’s message, added his number to the blacklist, then locked Qin Muni’s phone, returned it to its place, picked up his own phone, carefully lifted the blanket, and quietly left the room.
