Chapter 42 : Stumping the Mr.

Chapter 42 : Stumping Mr.

Fu Sichan walked over to Mu Qianqian’s side and asked with concern, “Is your stomach bothering you?”

Mu Qianqian looked a bit embarrassed. “I think I ate too much. My stomach has been feeling bloated, and drinking a lot of water hasn’t helped.”

“If your stomach is bloated, you shouldn’t drink more water.”

Fu Sichan opened the cabinet, took out a medicine box, and handed her a blister pack of Lactase pills. “Take a few of these, and rest for a while. It should get better.”

The medication helped with digestion, and soon, Mu Qianqian’s bloating eased significantly.

Mr. is really great, no matter how many challenges life throws at him, he never seems to be stumped.

“Thank you, Mr. I’m going to my room to sleep now.”

“Wait.” Fu Sichan stopped her.

“Mr, is there something else?”

Fu Sichan hesitated, unsure of how to start.

Grandma mistakenly thought that Mu Qianqian was pregnant, but they had been sleeping in separate rooms and had never even shared a bed, so where would they have a great-grandchild?

“Are you still comfortable sleeping in the guest room?”

Mu Qianqian was puzzled by the sudden question. “I’m sleeping fine.”

After all, she had never had her own room at home. Now, with her own independent room and such a large, soft bed, it was something she had never even dared to dream of before.

“Mr, is something wrong?”

Fu Sichan pressed his lips together. “No, nothing. Just go back to sleep.”

“Okay.”

Mu Qianqian went back to the guest room, while Fu Sichan pressed his brow in frustration, feeling quite troubled.

He couldn’t directly tell her that she needed to have a child for the Fu family.

But… he also couldn’t explain things to Grandma.

Mu Qianqian had misunderstood; there were indeed challenges that could stymie Fu Sichan.

For example, the issue of pregnancy and childbirth had him perplexed.

In the following week, Mu Qianqian attended her classes on time every day.

From the Yun Cheng Hotel, she received her salary and compensation, but she hadn’t received any message about returning to work.

So, Mu Qianqian assumed she had been completely fired.

She planned to wait until after her exams to find a new job.

Mu Chenghui had been waiting for several days but hadn’t seen Mu Qianqian’s figure again.

Could it be different from what he thought?

Perhaps Mu Qianqian wasn’t here to sleep with a man?

Impossible. This was a high-end hotel. How could a poor blind girl like Mu Qianqian afford to stay here?

It had to be through a man.

Mu Chenghui decided to wait another two days. If he still didn’t see anything, he would have to give up.

After all, he had already sneaked away from work so many times that it had angered the team leader. If he kept sneaking off, he might even lose his job!

Mu Chenghui was seething with frustration, cursing Mu Qianqian in his mind.

……

In the office, Assistant Wang was reporting to Fu Sichan.

“Mr. Fu, we’ve found out that the person who framed Miss Mu is a woman named Wang Yanru. She found the pure gold souvenir in Miss Mu’s lounge.”

Fu Sichan was standing with his back to him, hands in pockets, in front of the bright and spacious floor-to-ceiling windows.

“Tell Yun Cheng that the item was a gift from me. If they use this incident against us again, they should no longer work with Yun Cheng.”

Fu Sichan’s voice was low and magnetic, but his words were icy and made people shiver.

“Understood! I will contact Yun Cheng Group immediately.”

Since Yun Cheng Hotel was merely a subsidiary of the Fu Group, no one dared to defy the orders of the Fu family’s head.

Sister Li received a scolding call from her superior.

“What’s the matter with you? If you can’t manage such a large hotel properly, we’ll find someone else to take over!”

Sister Li quickly forced a smile. “Mr. Qiu, what do you mean? Did I do something wrong?”

“Hmph, it’s just a small ornament worth a few hundred thousand. Is it worth making such a fuss? Almost caused me to offend the Fu family!”

Sister Li hadn’t expected such a small issue to involve the Fu family.

“Does Miss Mu have any connections with the Fu family?”

“You don’t need to ask about that. The ornament was indeed a gift to her. Don’t let me find out that anyone uses this matter to create trouble again! Otherwise, you might find yourself out of a job. There have been plenty of people wanting to replace you over the years.”

Sister Li trembled with fear.

“Yes, yes. I’ll call Miss Mu right away and let her know she can come back to work.”

Sister Li hurriedly called Mu Qianqian to inform her that the misunderstanding had been resolved and she could return to work anytime.

Meanwhile, Sister Li was deeply puzzled.

The girl seemed to be just pretty, smart, and kind.

She never expected that she would have connections with the prestigious Fu family.

Sister Li stood in the sun but couldn’t help but shiver.

Mu Qianqian hadn’t expected to return to Yun Cheng Hotel.

The conditions there were good, and if the misunderstanding could be cleared up, she was naturally willing to go back.

However, she needed to prepare for her exams and couldn’t take on a part-time job right now.

“Sister Li, I’ll return to work after my exams.”

To her surprise, Sister Li’s attitude was extremely respectful, as if afraid she wouldn’t come back.

“Of course, of course. If you’re willing to return, we can discuss the terms further. Miss Mu, you focus on your own matters for now, I won’t disturb you.”

Mu Qianqian felt a bit overwhelmed by the attention. “Alright.”

……

That evening, as soon as Fu Sichan returned home, Mu Qianqian happily threw herself into his arms.

“Mr, I have good news! I can go back to work at Yun Cheng Hotel.”

Fu Sichan looked down at the young girl in his arms, her cheeks flushed with joy.

He couldn’t help but smile. “Are you that happy?”

“Of course I am! Sister Li also said that Wang Yanru would apologize to me in front of everyone. This is great, I can finally clear my name. And the benefits here are so good, I couldn’t find such a great job elsewhere. It’s all thanks to you, Mr.”

He didn’t pay much attention to her small salary.

However, her delighted attitude was infectious, causing Fu Sichan’s lips to curve up involuntarily.

“It’s good if you’re happy.”

At that moment, Mu Qianqian realized she had boldly thrown herself into his embrace.

Her face flushed with embarrassment, and she quickly pulled away.

“Sorry, Mr, I got too excited.”

Fu Sichan’s gaze darkened slightly, his voice low and hoarse. “It’s fine.”

Mu Qianqian shyly said, “Mr. I’ll go study now.”

“Aren’t you going to eat? Starting your studies this early?”

“Mm, I have an exam coming up, so I need to make the most of my time.”

She waved at him and then returned to the guest room.

At mealtime, Fu Sichan called for Mu Qianqian to come and eat, but she was so absorbed in her studies that she didn’t hear him.

Fu Sichan had no choice but to open the door to her room.

Mu Qianqian, wearing headphones, was sitting at her desk, listening to a recorded lecture and scribbling notes on a piece of paper.

He gently tapped her shoulder.

Mu Qianqian removed her headphones and smelled the familiar, refreshing scent of sandalwood.

“Mr, is that you?”

“Mm, come out and eat.”
