Holidays Never Bring Peace

After the annual meeting ended and the year-end bonuses were handed out, it was officially time for the holiday break.

The moment Zhu Yu returned to the office, he jumped up in excitement.

Now he had money, people, and time. He had to take a good look around this unfamiliar world.

After packing up the things on his desk, Zhu Yu carried his briefcase toward the parking lot downstairs.

The moment he arrived at the parking lot, he ran into Li Yichen, who was also preparing to drive home.

Zhu Yu instinctively stopped and took a step back.

Sure enough, this lunatic was throwing another fit.

"What use are any of you? You can't even keep an eye on one person?"

"Are you sure she ran this way?"

"You can't even keep watch over a blind person. I think you all need to be remade from scratch."

"What are you waiting for? Go find her already! If anything happens to her, I'll make all of you bury yourselves with her."

After he said that, all the bodyguards scattered in every direction to look for Mu Yuqing.

Only after everyone had left the parking lot did Zhu Yu slowly stroll out from behind it.

"Phew... another inescapable plotline. But what does that have to do with a happy worker like me, who's about to go on vacation?" Zhu Yu could not stop himself from smiling. He was so happy. The happiest time of the year was right now—tomorrow, he would start the longest holiday break.

"La la la~" Zhu Yu took out his car keys and unlocked the car.

He had barely opened the door and set down his bag, before he could even get in, when he felt something unfamiliar suddenly land on his shoulder.

Zhu Yu stiffened. Slowly turning his head, he came face-to-face with a familiar face and a pair of familiar, unfocused eyes.

Why was this crazy woman here?

"Mr. Zhu, please help me. I'm begging you, please save me." As Mu Yuqing spoke, she was about to kneel before Zhu Yu.

"Oh my god, can you stop kneeling at the drop of a hat? Don't shorten my lifespan. I want to live to a hundred." Zhu Yu hurriedly held her up. She really was here to ruin his life. Even during the holidays, he could not get any peace.

"How about I help you call Li Yichen?" Zhu Yu truly could not think of anyone else.

To be honest, when he had read the novel, he had felt that there was something seriously wrong with these two. If you said they did not love each other, they loved each other to death. But if you said they did love each other, they tortured each other to death.

"No, no! I'm begging you, Mr. Zhu, please don't call him." Mu Yuqing grabbed Zhu Yu's hand and tried to kneel again.

Zhu Yu had gone numb. He no longer tried to stop her, simply turning around and stepping behind her so she would kneel facing the bushes.

"I'm begging you, please don't call him." Mu Yuqing knelt helplessly on the ground.

Rustle...

Just as Zhu Yu was about to answer, the bushes in front of him suddenly began to shake.

An adorable dog's head poked out from the bushes.

"Awoo~"

"Please help me."

"Awoo~"

Looking at the scene before him, Zhu Yu could not hold it in any longer. He covered his mouth with one hand, his shoulders shaking violently. What kind of awkwardly hilarious scene was this?

Taking advantage of the moment, Zhu Yu sent a message to his boss.

Since she did not want Li Yichen to find her, he could only ask his boss to find Li Yichen's older brother, Li Yiyan.

When Shen Jingmo received the message, he happened to be at the company discussing a collaboration with Li Yiyan.

The two of them came straight down to the parking lot.

The moment they arrived, they saw Mu Yuqing talking to the dog.

For a moment, the two fell silent.

When Zhu Yu saw them, he hurriedly greeted them. "President Shen, President Li."

Hearing Zhu Yu's voice, Mu Yuqing quickly turned around. Her sense of direction was especially accurate as she faced the two newcomers directly. "Brother Li."

Li Yiyan looked at the woman before him, her hair a mess and her clothes torn, then sighed and reached out to help her up.

"Are you all right?"

"I'm fine."

"Li Yichen went too far with this matter. When we get back, I'll have a proper talk with him. I'll also arrange for someone to take you home."

The moment Mu Yuqing heard that she was being sent home, she fell silent again.

"By the way, how did you get here alone?" Zhu Yu was suddenly a little confused. This place was far from the Li Household.

"I... I took a taxi." Mu Yuqing clasped her hands together and answered cautiously.

Zhu Yu patted his ears in disbelief.

You took a taxi here yourself? Are you out of your mind? You clearly knew Li Yichen worked at Shen Corporation. You finally escaped that hellhole, only to come looking for the Great Devil King? Wouldn't a normal person who finally escaped immediately contact their family or run home?

Shen Jingmo nodded in agreement at those words.

Li Yiyan was also momentarily stunned. Put that way, it did make some sense.

"Brother Li, I don't want to go back. I can do anything. I don't need money." Mu Yuqing tightly clutched Li Yiyan's coat hem, her expression turning unnatural for a moment. She was the heroine of this world—how could she leave the male lead? Her current struggle was merely to make the male lead learn to cherish her after getting her back.

Zhu Yu pulled Shen Jingmo back a step. For some reason, he felt that this Crazy Woman 2.0 seemed a little like a white lotus.

So does she want to leave or not? She gets to say all the nice things and the bad things are left for us to do. Li Yichen doesn't have a normal brain to think things through, so what if he pins everything on us later? So she's his eternal goddess, while we're the eternal stumbling blocks in his heart?
