Mr. Mu Proposed Again Today

Oh my God! There were so many people at the venue yesterday; did I make a fool of myself while drunk? I usually take care not to drink too much, so how come I don't remember anything from yesterday?

She turned to look at Yan Yirou, who was sleeping heavily beside her, and, quite guiltily, nudged her, even though she hated being disturbed while sleeping herself.

After a couple more pushes, Yan Yirou finally responded, "What do you want? I'm so tired, let me sleep some more..." and then there was silence again.

"Yirou, stop sleeping, how did we end up here?"

"What does it matter where we are, as long as we can sleep," Yan Yirou mumbled drowsily. She was truly exhausted; she had watched Wanxia for most of the night and hadn't slept much at all. Did she have it easy?

"Was I drunk last night?"

"Did I make a scene?" Su Wanxia kept nudging Yan Yirou. She was really eager to know whether she had done anything outrageous last night.

Yan Yirou covered her head with the blanket, "Let me sleep a bit more, my lady," and then she truly fell asleep.

Su Wanxia, her head pounding, looked at Yan Yirou wrapped in the blanket, rubbed her temples that felt like they were about to explode, sat up in the bed, took a deep breath, and yelled, "Fire... Fire... Help... Such a huge fire..."

"Ah! Where's the fire? Where's the fire?" Yan Yirou jolted up instantly. When she realized the surroundings, she weakly said to the evidently entertained Su Wanxia, "Wanxia... you're so annoying!"

"Hehe, Yirou, did I really make a fool of myself last night?" Su Wanxia forced a laugh, testing the waters.

"Yes..." Yan Yirou was about to say yes, indeed, and how everyone had known about it.

But then she abruptly remembered Mu Yingchen's intimidating gaze, so she immediately changed her tune, "With me here, how could you have caused a scene?"

"Really?" Su Wanxia was a bit skeptical.

"Of course it's true. I guarantee it; you really didn't make a fool of yourself," Yan Yirou patted her chest, promising earnestly.

Seeing Yan Yirou like that, Su Wanxia instantly relaxed. It was good nothing had happened, then suddenly remembered something else, "So why are we sleeping here?"

Yan Yirou paused, then casually said, "Because you drank too much last night, and I was a bit dizzy too, unable to drive, so we just stayed upstairs. How convenient, right?"

"Oh... I see," Su Wanxia's heart finally settled down.

"Yeah, what else could it be?"

"Hmm... my head hurts so much, shall we sleep a bit more?" Su Wanxia asked Yan Yirou, but by the time her words fell, she had already snuggled back into the covers.

Yan Yirou was so angry; how could there be such a shameless person? She rolled her eyes and then plunged back into the blanket herself. She needed to catch up on some sleep. Just before drifting off, her mind hazily thought: I wonder what Wanxia would think if she knew that last night, not only had she made a complete fool of herself while drunk, but she had also pinned Mu Yingchen down on the bed.

While the two of them were deep in slumber, a refined melody from a violin started playing; no one answered the first time, nor the second, and by the third time, "Who's that? So early in the morning, can't you let people sleep?"

Mu Yingchen couldn't help but curl the corner of his mouth upon hearing the complaining and slightly irritated voice on the other end of the phone, as his luxurious and magnetic voice poured out, "There are 10 minutes left before the meeting starts. Have you arrived?"

"Who are you... What meeting? What do you mean arrived?" Su Wanxia mumbled, still heavy with nasal congestion.

The smile on Mu Yingchen's lips instantly stiffened, and his temple began to throb as he spoke coldly through the phone, "Su Wanxia, are you awake yet! If you are, get out of bed this instant!"

"If you aren't at Mu Group by 10 o'clock, you'll bear the consequences!" And with that, he hung up the phone.

At the other end, Su Wanxia was dumbfounded. This voice... wasn't this Mu Yingchen? What did he mean by not being at Mu Group by 10 and bearing the consequences?

At this thought, Wanxia suddenly shrieked and leaped out of bed.

"Oh no, oh no, today is the important meeting for the Bali Island project. How could I have forgotten this!"

"My goodness, where are my shoes?"

"Oh no, I don't have any change of clothes..."

"Oh, my God, it's already 9:53!"

"Is this trying to kill me with the pace?"

Su Wanxia was like an ant on a hot pan, frantically pacing back and forth in the room.

Yan Yirou was awakened by Su Wanxia's scream and sat up to see her scurrying around the room, "Wanxia, what's wrong, what are you doing?"

"I'm dead meat, I was supposed to go to Mu Group for a meeting at 10 AM this morning."

"Forget it, this will have to do!" Su Wanxia glanced at the backless evening gown that was now wrinkled from being crushed by her, thinking it was better than being naked!

In a flurry, she washed her face and rushed toward the door. As soon as she opened it, a waitress burst into her field of vision.

"Excuse me, are you Miss Su?"

"I am."

"This was prepared for you by a Mr. Ji," the waitress said with polite tenderness, then handed two boxes to Su Wanxia.

Su Wanxia looked at them doubtfully, then accepted them.

"Mr. Ji said they are clothes and shoes, and he hopes you will like them."

Hearing the words clothes and shoes, Su Wanxia's eyes lit up immediately, she couldn't have been happier. That was exactly what she was missing.

"Thank you so much."

"You're welcome."

After expressing her thanks and feeling elated, she ran back into the room and quickly opened the boxes. There was a knee-length white chiffon dress and a pair of pale gold high heels. Never mind if they looked good, as long as they fit.

Yan Yirou looked at her like she was a monster, "Wanxia, have you lost your mind?"

As Wanxia was changing, she replied, "I have an important meeting at 10, drank too much last night, and forgot."

"What?"

"You sleep some more, I've got to go." After slipping on the shoes, Wanxia ran out like the wind again.

She drove her car fast and furiously, fortunately, the traffic wasn't too bad. Glancing at her watch, it was already 10 AM.

Su Wanxia was so anxious inside. Being late to her first meeting, was she really that unlucky?

When she arrived at Mu Group at 10:15, she parked her car quickly, looked up at the towering skyscraper, and without thinking any further, dashed towards the entrance.

"Miss Su," just as she reached the building entrance, a uniformed beauty welcomed her with a smile.

"Uh... May I ask who you are?"

"I'm Mu's secretary, and Mr. Mu asked me to wait for you to come up."

"Oh, haha, sorry, I'm a bit late," Su Wanxia said with an embarrassed smile.

"No problem, Mr. Mu has already delayed the meeting by half an hour; it will start in 10 minutes," the beautiful secretary said politely.

"What?" Su Wanxia exclaimed, then felt it was impolite.

"Hehe, sorry, let's hurry up then," she chuckled.

"Of course, please follow me."
