Chapter 457: Chapter 457 Mu Shaoci & Shen Lu 2

Mu Shaoci gulped down the sour plum soup in the bowl and placed it on the coffee table.

He leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes.

Soon, the scent of noodles wafted from the kitchen.

Mu Shaoci opened his eyes and looked toward the kitchen, only to see Shen Lu touching her ears, probably because she had burned herself.

Mu Shaoci scoffed, "What a fool!"

He stood up and strode into the kitchen, "Just leave it there."

Shen Lu uttered a sound of acknowledgment, stood to the side, and then busily handed over chopsticks and a spoon, "Please have a taste."

Looking at the steaming vegetable noodles, Mu Shaoci felt particularly hungry.

He stood in front of the glass counter, took the chopsticks and soup, bent down to blow on it, and started eating the noodles.

The taste was surprisingly good, and just like the Sobering-up Soup, it was impressively delicious.

Mu Shaoci finished one bowl and then another, finally drinking even the soup.

"President Mu, are you full now?"

Mu Shaoci hummed in response.

Shen Lu pushed her glasses up, "President Mu, can you please not fire me?"

Mu Shaoci sized her up, "Don’t mess up the meeting tomorrow morning."

Shen Lu nodded repeatedly, "Don’t worry, President Mu, I won’t mess it up. You go rest. I’ll clean up here and then I’ll leave."

Mu Shaoci watched her, "Although you look pretty harmless, the other party might be blind and desperate. The next door is also my house; you should go stay there later, the password is XXXX." After saying this, he left the kitchen.

Shen Lu sighed in relief, thankful that her insistence on staying to cook for Mu Shaoci had saved her job. Otherwise, she would be waking up to unemployment tomorrow.

After cleaning the dishes, Shen Lu walked out of the kitchen, hearing the sound of running water from the bathroom.

She shouted, "President Mu, I’m leaving now!"

Mu Shaoci was washing his hair when he heard the woman’s shout; turning around, his foot slipped, and he fell heavily to the ground.

Mu Shaoci felt that Shen Lu was his nemesis.

Unable to hold his liquor at social occasions, causing accidents while driving, and now her loud yelling had caused him to fall.

What sins had he committed?

A knock came from the bathroom door, "President Mu? President Mu, are you alright?"

Mu Shaoci tried to move but found he couldn’t, as if he had injured his waist.

"You, close your eyes and come in!"

Shen Lu murmured an acknowledgment, closed her eyes tightly, pushed open the bathroom door, and slowly groped her way forward, "President Mu, are you okay? Where are you?"

Mu Shaoci directed her, "Stop! To your right, there’s a towel. Grab it and throw it straight in front of you."

Following his instructions, Shen Lu indeed found a towel.

She threw it toward him, but because she threw it too closely, it landed on his chest.

Mu Shaoci’s hands were still functional. He covered the important parts with the towel.

"You can open your eyes now."

Shen Lu tentatively opened her eyes, then saw Mu Shaoci lying at her feet. She hurried forward to turn off the faucet, but her foot slipped, and she fell directly on top of him.

Her face landed right on a particular spot.

Mu Shaoci also just happened to see the view under her skirt.

Shen Lu was mortified; in the moment she fell, her glasses flew off somewhere, and her messy hair dampened.

She quickly got up, kneeling beside Mu Shaoci, "President Mu, I’m truly sorry, I didn’t do it on purpose."

Mu Shaoci looked at her, particularly disheveled, her beautiful eyes filled with tears, her wet white shirt outlining her undergarments.

He turned his head, "I’ve never seen such a clumsy woman."

Sniffling, Shen Lu said, "I am quite clumsy, sorry, President Mu, I will voluntarily resign tomorrow."

She got up and turned off the faucet, finally stopping the flow of water.

Mu Shaoci sighed, "Go to the second cabinet in the cloakroom and find the third drawer; fetch some underwear and my pajamas."

"Okay."

Shen Lu stood up and was about to leave when she realized she was drenched.

Most importantly, her glasses were missing, and she couldn’t see clearly.

"President Mu, I need to find my glasses first."

Mu Shaoci: "..."

Feeling her way along, Shen Lu finally found her glasses near Mu Shaoci’s feet. After putting them on, her vision became clear again.

Upon seeing Mu Shaoci’s grim expression, her smile quickly faded, "I’ll go get your clothes now."

Shen Lu quickly wiped off the water on her body and hurried to find the clothes.

Soon she returned, clutching a pair of men’s underwear and pajamas pants, visibly anxious.

It took a Herculean effort to drag him out of the bathroom. With her eyes closed, she helped Mu Shaoci get dressed.

Then, she dialed 120.

During this entire time, she dared not breathe heavily.

After 120 arrived, they took Mu Shaoci away.

Shen Lu followed them to the hospital.

Mu Shaoci was incredibly unlucky; he had fallen on his waist, rendering him unable to move.

Mu Boyan arrived at the ward and slightly nodded to Shen Lu before turning to Mu Shaoci, "You usually don’t take care of your waist. You should pay more attention to it from now on. Being such an outstanding CEO in many aspects and now you’ve added a herniated disc to your list."

Mu Shaoci frowned deeply, "When can I be discharged? I have a meeting to attend this afternoon."

"Discharged?" Mu Boyan chuckled, "You should stay for a week first. I’ve arranged for an orthopedic expert to give you acupuncture and massage. I haven’t told Dad about this yet."

He looked at Shen Lu, "I’m counting on you to take care of my big brother."

Shen Lu nodded, "Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of President Mu."

Mu Boyan slightly curved his lips and left the ward.

Before leaving, he glanced at Shen Lu again, having heard that his brother had slipped while bathing.

In the dead of night, his usually indifferent-to-women brother was with a woman, bathing?

Clearly, it was after the fact.

What an exciting development.

Yet, his brother actually liked such a somewhat old-fashioned woman; truly a peculiar taste.

Shen Lu fidgeted with her hands in front of her, "President Mu, rest well, I’ll be right here."

Mu Shaoci took a deep breath, "You should go back. I’m afraid you’ll send me away again."

Shen Lu: "..."

Although she was dismissed, she stayed at the hospital.

At five o’clock in the morning, she left the ward and returned to her rented room to cook porridge for Mu Shaoci.

When Mu Shaoci opened his eyes, it was already eight o’clock in the morning.

He slightly turned over, uncomfortable in his waist, but after last night’s massage, he was able to move.

He looked around the ward, not seeing Shen Lu’s figure.

He snorted, she said she’d take care of him?

She had run off!

Perhaps it was for the best—this woman was extremely unlucky for him. Without her, he might recover faster.

He shuffled towards the bathroom in his slippers.

Since the bathroom was just by the door, as he made his way there, the ward door was forcefully pushed open.

A figure rushed towards him energetically.
