Not sleeping well at night? Han Muzi recalled what Su Jiu had mentioned to her before. According to Su Jiu, the reason Ye Moxuan lost his memories was that he had suffered from a severe head injury. Is he unable to sleep well because of the trauma to his brain?
Thinking back on it, she remembered that when she met him, the dark circles under his eyes were very prominent, indicating that he had not been sleeping well. Despite getting such poor sleep, he was drinking so much coffee to stay alert. Does he have a death wish?
At the thought, she felt utterly distressed. How can this guy care so little for his health? Hence, when she got off work, she went to the department store immediately and bought a can of skimmed milk powder. She took it home and brought it to the company the very next day.
The first cup in the morning—milk.
When Miss Lin saw the glass of milk, she thought Han Muzi had made it for herself, so she said, “Zi, I don’t drink milk. You don’t have to make a cup for me. Hurry up and brew the coffee Young Master Xuan asked for, alright?”
Han Muzi awkwardly replied, “Miss Lin, this glass of milk is for Young Master Xuan.”
Miss Lin said nothing. Han Muzi felt a little embarrassed. Unexpectedly, Miss Lin had misunderstood her. She mustered up her courage and said, “Weren’t we discussing that Young Master Xuan had been sleeping badly? I was thinking, he shouldn’t drink coffee anymore. Since the quality of his sleep is bad, if he keeps on drinking coffee, it’d make his sleep suffer even more. So, I changed it to milk for him…” Milk was nutritious; it could also supplement calcium levels. It was a good drink, whether in the morning or at night.
Miss Lin widened her eyes in shock at Han Muzi’s words. “You replaced Young Master Xuan’s coffee with milk on your own authority?”
Han Muzi was very embarrassed; she didn’t know how else to resolve the problem. “Didn’t you say he wasn’t sleeping well? That’s why…”
Miss Lin leaned over and said in a low voice, “You are fearless.”
“Huh?”
“What Young Master Xuan wants is coffee. Replacing it with milk for him… Do you want to be fired?”
Han Muzi shook her head; she did not want to be fired, but she was more worried about his health. She wanted to try her luck. What if Ye Moxuan agreed to drink the milk?
Seeing Han Muzi’s stubborn expression—she seemed like she had no intention of changing her mind—Miss Lin closed her eyes. She opened her eyes again and said, “You sure care a lot for Young Master Xuan. Even after I told you that you will probably be fired, you’re still insisting on delivering the milk to him? Do you—like that group of ladies—have feelings for him?”
Han Muzi did not reply.
“I’m right, aren’t I? I knew it… You silly girls… Just because he looks handsome, has a cool personality, a prestigious family background, a good-looking figure, and a sharp business acumen… Why does every one of you flock toward him one after the other?” Miss Lin herself realized that Yuchi Shen was an exceptional man. “Sigh, forget it. He truly is an exceptional man. If you’re that fearless, then go ahead and deliver the milk to him.”
As Miss Lin finished her sentence, Han Muzi nodded and bent down to pick up the milk. “Then, Miss Lin, I’m going to deliver the milk.”
“I only said it on a whim… Are you actually going to deliver it? You have some guts. Let me give you some advice. Even if you like Young Master Xuan, you still need some time to get close to him, right? With time, you will get a chance to impress him. You’ve just started working here for a few days. If he fires you in a fit of fury because you delivered the milk to him today, in the future, you won’t even have the chance to look at him from afar.”
“Miss Lin, you’re misunderstanding my intentions,” Han Muzi lightly denied and continued to explain, “I’m delivering the milk to Young Master Xuan because I’m worried about the health of my boss. If his sleep is good and he drinks less coffee, I wouldn’t deliver this milk to him.”
Miss Lin thought in her heart, As if I’d believe your lies.
Han Muzi didn’t say anything else. She picked up the cup of milk and left the secretary’s office. Watching her go, Miss Lin shook her head and sighed. How could such a lovely lady be so reckless? Even if you like someone, you should know your limits! Does she think so highly of herself, despite only working here a few days, because Young Master Xuan had not gotten angry at her yesterday? Sigh. Young people nowadays are so fickle.
Miss Lin felt that she needed to find another assistant soon. After this painful lesson, she decided against hiring female assistants. She might as well look for a male assistant.
…
On the other side, Han Muzi had brought the milk to the door of the office. She reached forward and knocked on the door. After hearing his consent to enter, she pushed open the door and entered. She didn’t know if it was out of guilt, but when she brought the milk over, her footsteps were silenced. After placing the glass down on his desk, she whispered, “If there’s nothing else, then I’ll be going.” She turned around and prepared to leave.
After taking two steps, Ye Moxuan’s icy voice came from behind her. “What’s this?”
She stopped walking. Taking a deep breath, she looked back with a smile. “President, that’s milk. It’s very nutritious.”
Ye Moxuan lifted his eyes and looked at her darkly. Do you think I don’t know that it’s milk? I was asking why you served this!
Han Muzi understood what he was thinking inside. At first, she wanted to see if she could fool him by simply laughing it off. However, looking at the situation before her, it was clearly… impossible. She could only laugh dryly and force herself to reply, “Drinking too much coffee is bad; it will affect your sleep. Not only is milk nutritious, but it can also help you sleep better too.”
He narrowed his eyes and glared at her dangerously. The aura around him suddenly became sharp. “So, you decided to change my decisions and preferences without my permission?”
These eyes and that aura… Although she knew him well, it still made her fearful when he acted this way. She didn’t quite dare to meet his eyes and avoided his gaze as much as she could. She replied dryly, “No, I wouldn’t dare to simply change your preferences. I just felt that if you drank milk, it’d be better for your body.” While explaining, her hands subconsciously grasped the corner of her clothes. She was very nervous. She was afraid that he would lose his temper and fire her.
His ink-black eyes watched her subtle movements. He could tell that she was very nervous. So, why does she choose to act brazenly at this moment? Why doesn’t she admit her mistake immediately, just like yesterday?
Ye Moxuan felt a wave of curiosity toward her. This strange woman had caught his eyes since the moment she entered his life. As long as she appeared, his gaze would chase after her. Even when he slept at night, the tear-filled face of this woman looking at him would appear in his dreams.
“Come here.” He suddenly stretched out his fingers toward her and made a hooking motion, beckoning her to come over.
Han Muzi was stunned and stood there staring at him blankly. Why is he asking me to go over to him? Before her brain could react to it, her limbs had already started to move. Taking small steps, she walked toward Ye Moxuan. She stopped right in front of him and stared down at the glass of milk.
