Chapter 751: Good Health Is the Most Important Asset
Mu Xichen was in better health than many others. Now that he had a cold and a fever, he completely recovered in two days.
On the other hand, Li Beinian was already thin. Coupled with the recent days of hard work, she looked even more haggard now compared to two days ago.
She had applied for leave from Bo Chengcheng for the past two days and naturally postponed her scheduled programs.
At this point, in Qing Shui Fu, Li Beinian had just woken up when she suddenly realized that there was an additional person at home.
It was a middle-aged woman who looked to be in her late forties. She was dark-skinned and dressed rather tackily. However, she looked like an honest person.
When she noticed that Li Beinian had woken up, the woman smiled and said, “You must be Madam, right? I’m the new nanny. My son works in Mr. Mu’s company and he hired me to be your nanny. In the future, feel free to task me with anything – I’m very diligent.”
Li Beinian was slightly stunned as she looked at this new addition in the household. She felt that the world was about to change.
Then she heard soft footsteps approaching from behind her. Without even turning back to look, she knew who it was.
Sure enough, she felt a tightness around her waist as Mu Xichen’s scent enveloped her.
Li Beinian turned her head to look at him. “Why didn’t you tell me that you hired a nanny?”
“Would you agree to it if I had told you beforehand?” Mu Xichen touched her waist and placed his palm on it. “It’s just nice.”
“What?” Li Beinian was taken by surprise and looked down at his palm.
“Your waist is as thin as my palm now.” Mu Xichen’s voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of self-blame. “I’m sorry.”
In the past few days, he had apologized dozens of times.
Li Beinian took his hand and moved it away. Then she looked at the new nanny, feeling a little uncomfortable. “I’m around, we don’t need a nanny.”
“Yes, you have to eat well.” Mu Xichen pushed her away. “Don’t go to work for the time being. Push back your filming till after the wedding, alright?”
“I can’t, I’ve already spoken to Sister Wei. We’re going to film the New Year’s Eve Gala this year. It’s an elite satellite channel and the viewership ratings are very high…”
“Don’t go, it’s not even Central TV.” Mu Xichen looked at her with obvious disdain. “Go home and focus on the New Year celebrations. Grandpa has been thinking of you.”
Observing how affectionate they were with each other, the nanny knew that the couple had a very good relationship for sure.
Feeling a little embarrassed to be observing the private moment, she turned around and said, “In the future, I will be responsible for Madam’s meals. Even if you’re busy with work, you have to eat on time. For busy people like Sir and Madam, your good health is the most important asset, no messing around with that. I dare say, if nothing else, I’m excellent at cooking. Oh right, I’ve already done the washing and cleaned the house. If anything else needs to be done, just let me know. This is my first day here, I will work to your standards from now on.”
The nanny’s voice was loud and she was rather talkative. By the time she was done speaking, she was already in the kitchen.
Li Beinian scanned her surroundings and realized that nothing had changed.
It was clean to begin with. Although the couple weren’t around often, they loved cleanliness.
She looked around and nodded. “Pretty good.”
Then turning to Mu Xichen, she asked, “She’s your employee’s mother?”
“Yes, Secretary Wang’s mother. Her surname is Wu. You may call her Sister Wu.” Mu Xichen touched her sunken cheeks and said tenderly, “You’re so gaunt. Stay at home and rest for the next few days.”
Li Beinian pouted, but there was a sweet feeling in her heart . She wrinkled her nose and said, “Got it!”
