The girl was concentrating on vomiting and didn't notice at all that someone had joined her.
After vomiting for a while, she finally straightened up. Letting out a long breath, she seemed to feel better at last.
Then Lu Xue rinsed her mouth with her eyes closed and staggered towards her big bed.
It was not until this moment that Mu Yuze realized that Lu Xue hadn't opened her eyes from start to finish. All her actions were like those of a sleepwalker.
It was not until Lu Xue threw herself heavily onto the big bed and fell asleep sprawled out that Mu Yuze couldn't help but let out a soft laugh.
It turned out that she had vomited while sleepwalking and never noticed his presence.
Mu Yuze stood in the darkness for a while. Finally, after confirming that Lu Xue was breathing steadily and sleeping soundly, he carefully turned off the light in the bathroom and tiptoed out.
When Lu Xue woke up the next day, her head felt dizzy.
She asked Aunt Chen and only then learned that she had gotten drunk on liquor - filled chocolates at Mu Ziyue's party last night and was brought home by Mu Yuze.
Lu Xue hugged her head and let out a long sigh.
"How many liquor - filled chocolates did I eat? I've made such a fool of myself!"
Aunt Chen shook her head, trying to hold back her smile, and said, "In the end, the young master carried you horizontally and put you on the bed. He stayed in the next room all night, afraid that you might feel uncomfortable in the middle of the night. I think the young master really cares about you."
Lu Xue let out an "ah" sound. Only then did she remember that she had really given Mu Yuze a hard time last night. She just hoped that she hadn't acted crazy or done anything embarrassing.
She asked Aunt Chen, "Where's Mu Yuze?"
Aunt Chen replied, "He went to the company early this morning. He took care of you until late at night and didn't get a good rest before going to work again."
Lu Xue felt a bit guilty. She sat on the bed, lost in thought about the liquor - filled chocolates for a long time and didn't say a word.
Aunt Chen saw her like this and thought that Lu Xue felt so guilty towards Mu Yuze that she was blaming herself. So she said, "If you really feel sorry for him, why not do something small to repay him?"
Lu Xue looked up and asked, "Aunt Chen, do you have any good ideas? How should I repay him?"
Aunt Chen thought for a while and said, "How about this? I'll teach you some ways to make soup. Then you can make some soup and send it to the young master's company! He'll be very touched when he sees that it's the soup you made with your own hands!"
Lu Xue thought for a while. Making soup wasn't difficult and didn't require high - level skills. She thought she should be able to handle it, so she readily agreed.
That morning, Aunt Chen taught Lu Xue how to cook in the kitchen.
She found that although this girl seemed carefree, she was really meticulous when doing things.
Soon Lu Xue mastered the skills and made a pot of soup.
Aunt Chen was supervising from afar. Seeing that the soup was almost done, she reminded Lu Xue to turn off the stove.
"After you send this pot of soup over, you should remind the young master to drink it early. It won't taste the same when it gets cold!"
Saying that, Aunt Chen stuffed a thermos into Lu Xue's hand and urged, "Hurry up! What are you still dawdling for?"
Looking at the thermos in her hand, Lu Xue still hesitated a little.
But since Aunt Chen was urging her so much, she didn't think too much anymore. She took the thermos and went out to take a taxi to Mu Yuze's office.
In the morning, Mu Yuze had just finished a meeting and came down from the top floor. He casually threw his coat on the sofa in his office and sat down wearily.
Yan Hua beside him noticed that Mu Yuze didn't look well today. He leaned in and asked, "Young master, did you stay up very late last night? I can see your huge dark circles. You look so haggard."
Mu Yuze glanced at him but didn't say a word. He just lowered his head and started to look through the several documents that needed to be carefully reviewed today.
Just then, an assistant came in from outside, knocked on the door, and said something to Yan Hua.
As soon as Yan Hua heard it, he immediately turned around excitedly and said, "Young master, guess who's here?"
Mu Yuze looked up and saw Yan Hua's happy look. He frowned and asked, "What's going on?"
Yan Hua showed a bright smile and said, "It's Miss Lu Xue. She's probably here to visit you. I'll go downstairs to pick her up right away!"
Soon Lu Xue came upstairs and stood opposite Mu Yuze.
The girl was wearing a pure white long dress today, with her long hair scattered on her shoulders. Different from her usual carefree and tomboyish dressing style, she unexpectedly looked gentle and charming.
This outfit was carefully chosen by Aunt Chen with repeated instructions before she went out. Lu Xue had no objections and just obediently put it on.
But unexpectedly, as soon as she put on this dress today, she attracted strange looks everywhere she went. Everyone in the company looked at her with new eyes and would come up to praise her from time to time.
