The Butlerâs Shock
Only less than an hour had passed, but Mu Ci felt more energetic than he usually did after an entire nightâs rest.
âYoung Master, Young Madamâs medical skills are so outstanding, but her background check did not mention this at all.â As long as it involved Mu Ciâs safety, Liu Ming was extremely careful.
Mu Ci was silent for a while. âUncle Liu, just trust her.â
Liu Ming hesitated for a moment. âYoung Master, do you still remember what Young Madamâs master looks like? Young Madam is young and we canât find anything about her, but Iâm sure we can find out something about her master, right?â
Mu Ci sighed softly. âBack then, Bei Shuo was only three years old. When I woke up and was bedridden, it was Bei Shuo who took care of me. After I recovered, only Bei Shuo accompanied me every day. She said that her master didnât allow me to see her, so I never saw her master. Later, I told my grandfather that I wanted to take Bei Shuo home to raise her. By the time I returned, she and her master had already moved away.â
Liu Ming said, âThose who really have cultivation never asked for repayment of debts. The fate between people is really indescribable. I didnât expect Young Madam to be the same girl youâve been looking for all these years. Young Master, I think that perhaps we will have a glimmer of hope.â
Mu Ci was silent. âUncle Liu, if anything happens⦠you must take good care of Bei Shuo for me.â
Liu Ming hurriedly said, âYoung Master, you will definitely recover.â
âIâm back!â Bei Shuo pushed the door open happily.
âYouâre awake! Look at how accurate my timing is!â Bei Shuo smiled and washed her hands again before starting to remove the needles.
Every time she removed a needle, Bei Shuo would look at the tip carefully.
âYoung Madam, is there a problem?â Liu Ming could not help but ask.
âNo, itâs fine.â Bei Shuoâs smile did not waver.
Bei Shuo put away the needle bag and gave Mu Ci another massage. Then, she pulled the blanket over him and covered him. âI just went to make soup for you. That Mrs. Zhang looks down on my culinary skills. You have to support me. You have to say that you like my soup later! Hmph!â
Mu Ci took her hand, smiled at the young girlâs youthful face, and nodded.
Bei Shuo was very happy. âYou can sleep a little longer or chat with Uncle Liu. I have a fight to finish in the kitchen!â
She rolled up her sleeves and ran out like a gust of wind.
Mu Ci looked at her from behind with longing. Her vitality made his already dry heart flutter. He wished he did not have to die. He had once promised to accompany her for the rest of her life. He had already missed 17 years of her life. Now, he might not have the strength to protect her.
Liu Ming stood at the side in shock.
He had watched the young master grow up. Over the years, the consecutive unforeseen events had caused his temperament to change drastically. Everyone said that the young master of the Mu family was a business genius, but he was also a ruthless and cruel person. No matter if it was his unclesâ parents or brothers, he treated them equally and was never lenient. Although he had a peerless appearance, he was a strange person who did not get close to women.
Liu Ming had been secretly lamenting that his young master had a psychological problem. He had wanted to get him some psychology therapy, but he did not have the chance to bring it up. Unexpectedly, there was no need for that now.
A young madam who suddenly appeared solved all these problems.
Young Master looked at Young Madam with a gentleness that he had never seen before. After being forcefully massaged and treated with acupuncture by Young Madam, he did not throw her out. Instead, he held Young Madamâs hand affectionately.
From the looks of it, he did not have a problem with women. Instead, he had yet to find the right woman.
âUncle Liu?â Mu Ci called him, and Liu Ming suddenly came back to his senses.
âIâm hungry,â Mu Ci said. âLetâs go downstairs.â
âOkay, okay!â Liu Ming quickly helped Mu Ci into the wheelchair. When Mu Ci stood up, he suddenly stopped moving.
âYoung Master, whatâs wrong?â Liu Ming hurriedly asked, his heart sinking.
Mu Ci shook his head gently and let Liu Ming help him into the wheelchair.
âYoung Master, are you feeling unwell anywhere?â Liu Ming asked worriedly.
Mu Ci shook his head. âNo. Iâm good.â
It had never been better.
Only then did Liu Ming relax.
âUncle Liu, I believe in Bei Shuo!â Mu Ci said softly.
He was willing to let Bei Shuo use him as a test subject to practice everything she had learned.
What else could he help her with? His life was hers, wasnât it?
Bei Shuo proudly scooped a bowl of soup and brought it to Mu Ci. âTry my cooking.â
Mu Ci took the bowl. It was a bowl of mushroom soup with a fragrant smell.
Mrs. Zhang quickly brought a plate over. âYoung Master, put some seasoning in.â
Mrs. Zhang had no choice but to place the plate beside Mu Ciâs hand. She forced a smile and said to Bei Shuo, âYoung Madam, Young Master likes dishes with stronger flavors.â
