Cai Xiufen yawned and went downstairs. After waking up in the early morning, she couldn't fall asleep. It wasn't until just now that the heat in her body subsided. She wanted to rest, but she was no longer sleepy. She simply got up and stared at Mu Shaoling and chanted
Mu.
"Madam, you're awake." The housekeeper noticed that she looked haggard and understood why.
Cai Xiufen must have been up all night, because after all, the old man asked someone to prepare a strong medicine. Even if she was a middle-aged woman, she would not be able to resist the effects of the medicine.
"Has breakfast been prepared in the kitchen?" Cai Xiufen asked.
"The cook is still preparing." The butler responded with his eyebrows lowered.
Cai Xiufen said displeased: "Still preparing? What kind of efficiency is this?"
The housekeeper glanced at the time, lowered his head and replied respectfully: "Madam, the cook didn't know you would get up so early today."
He didn't say it was still early. If Cai Xiufen heard it, she would definitely point at his nose and say it was an excuse to be lazy.
Cai Xiufen snorted coldly. She and the housekeeper were the only ones in the whole living room. It seemed that the other nannies hadn't come to work yet.
She did get up early today, but she didn't allow this to be an excuse, "Let the cook be more diligent and prepare breakfast earlier in the future."
"Yes." The housekeeper responded. Although he agreed, he had no intention of listening to her.
The breakfast preparation time in the old house usually follows the old man's schedule. After all, he is usually the first person to get up in the family. Breakfast is ready when the old man wakes up, so that the breakfast is fresh and not cold.
Breakfast was not ready yet, so Cai Xiufen could only sit on the sofa. When the housekeeper was about to go about her business, she heard her ask: "Did anything happen in the old house last night?"
"What are you referring to?" The housekeeper stopped and faced her respectfully.
Cai Xiufen frowned and secretly scolded him for his ignorance, so she had to speak more straightforwardly, "That person who stayed here overnight, did anything happen?"
"Madam, you know the rest time. If there is nothing special, I can't go up to the floor above to disturb everyone's rest." The housekeeper said, implying that he had no way of knowing whether something happened.
Unless the people upstairs give permission, he usually won't go up there.
"You didn't pay more attention to a stranger living at home. You failed as a housekeeper." Cai Xiufen was not satisfied with his answer and thought he should keep an eye on Nian Mu.
The housekeeper was helpless, knowing that she was targeting Nian Mu, and he didn't know what Nian Mu had done wrong, so he was targeted like this.
It may be that the old lady likes her very much, and their young master also has a different affection for Nian Mu, which is why Cai Xiufen behaves like this.
The housekeeper thought about it and reminded her tactfully, "Madam, that is the old man's guest staying overnight. How could I do this?"
The old man allowed Nian Mu to stay overnight and arranged for a guest room upstairs, which proved that he trusted Nian Mu very much.
Cai Xiufen cannot touch anyone whom the old man trusts.
"Even if the old man is staying overnight, you should be more careful. Isn't this the responsibility of being a housekeeper?" Cai Xiufen was sulking. She didn't have a good rest, and she always found excuses to explode.
The housekeeper glanced at the time and said helplessly: "Madam, the old man should be getting up. I will go and help him wash up first."
Cai Xiufen stared at the butler's leaving figure, and was so angry that she pinched the surface of the leather sofa with her fingers. The housekeeper of this family did not take her seriously either!
After a while, she slowly let go of her hand, and the surface of the sofa was already wrinkled by the pinch.
Cai Xiufen secretly swore in her heart that if Mr. Mu left one day, the first thing she would do would be to fire the housekeeper.
An hour later.
Nian Mu and Mu Shaoling also went downstairs one after another.
Mr. Mu was already sitting on a chair in the dining room, waiting for them to have breakfast together.
Seeing Mu Shaoling and Nian Mu walking in holding hands not as expected, a look of disappointment flashed across the old man's face.
Could it be that Mu Shaoling failed to seize the opportunity last night?
They both drank the soup, they shouldn't...
Mr. Mu studied the faces of the two of them, and it seemed that they both had dark circles under their eyes.
"Hello grandpa."
"Hello, old man." Nian Mu and Mu Shaoling greeted him together.
"Okay, sit down and get ready to have breakfast." Mr. Mu greeted them, thinking to himself, could it be that the two of them didn't lose face last night and silently endured the effects of the medicine on their bodies, so they couldn't sleep all night?
Nian Mu sat in the same seat where he had dinner last night.
The housekeeper and nanny on the side were busy serving breakfast to the table.
Mr. Mu took the opportunity to ask: "Nian girl, did you have a good rest yesterday?"
When it comes to yesterday, Nian Mu believes that Mr. Mu definitely asked on purpose, because she can now be sure that there was something wrong with yesterday's soup.
Moreover, her abnormalities seemed to last longer than Mu Shaoling's. She believed that this was not a problem caused by physical differences, but that maybe the herbal tea had the same effect.
So the old man gave her two doses of medicine.
Nian Mu was speechless. He didn't expect that the always upright old man would do such a thing for her and Mu Shaoling.
"I'm resting well, thank you for your concern, old man." She could only say something that went against the facts.
In fact, she didn't sleep well last night.
The same goes for Mu Shaoling.
She thought that after being hugged by Mu Shaoling, she would be able to sleep peacefully and sleep until dawn. After all, he was her sleeping pill.
However, what she didn't expect was that after she closed her eyes, she felt hotter and hotter as she slept. Her sleepiness disappeared, but her energy didn't come back either, because the discomfort almost gnawed at her sanity.
Mu Shaoling didn't fall asleep either. He had the same problem as himself.
In the end, his hands were restless and she was unable to stop him.
Although the two of them did not reach the final step, what was supposed to happen almost happened. Anyway, they just relied on each other to barely stop the restlessness of their bodies.
There is no so-called union, but it is very infatuated, like a man and woman who long for each other, asking for sweetness and fragrance from each other to satisfy their inner desires.
Therefore, when she woke up today, she felt very weak.
It is probably caused by the fatigue last night and the side effects of the medicine.
"Did you really have a good rest? But your face looks like..." Mr. Mu wanted to say more, but was stopped by Mu Shaoling.
"Grandpa, let's have breakfast." he said.
"Why are you so anxious? Can't I chat with Nian Yatou and then eat?" Mr. Mu rolled his eyes at him and did nothing. He was such a coward, it was a waste of his efforts and preparations.
"I have to rush to the airport for a business trip later..." Mu Shaoling said, reminding him that it was time to have breakfast.
The elderly cannot use their chopsticks, and the younger generation cannot even use their chopsticks.
