Chapter 134 Secretary and Wife
When the time came, Su Man woke Xiao Beisheng up, and they both tidied their clothes in front of the mirror.
Xiao Beisheng rested for at least an hour and now felt a little better.
But there was a slight nasal tone in his speech.
Even started coughing.
Su Man was worried, so she went over to check Xiao Beisheng's forehead temperature.
This exploration startled him, "Just now at the dress club, my forehead temperature was normal. How come it became so hot after sleeping?"
"Is it hot?" Xiao Beisheng took the temperature of his forehead. "I do feel a little heavy. I thought it was from overindulgence."
Suman glared at him.
Xiao Beisheng curled the corners of his mouth and laughed sinisterly.
Su Man didn't want to joke with him. She turned around and took out a thermometer from the medicine box in the suite. "Take your temperature."
Xiao Beisheng acted like a henpecked husband today. Su Man asked him to catch up on his sleep, so he did. She asked him to take his temperature.
But when taking the temperature, he kept talking: "Even if the temperature is really high, you still have to go to the party."
After taking the temperature, Xiao Beisheng handed the thermometer to Su Man. Su Man saw it and immediately frowned: "38.6 degrees, you have such a high fever, don't you feel it?"
Xiao Beisheng didn't answer, only said: "We can just go over and show up, there's no need to stay there the whole time."
Su Man thought about it and said reluctantly: "Okay, but you can't drink anymore tonight."
Xiao Beisheng put his arm around her waist and kissed her on the face.
"I just touched up my makeup! Don't ruin it again!"
"It's okay, you look good no matter what."
The two were just being affectionate when there was a knock on the door.
Mu Chuchu's voice rang out from outside: "Mr. Xiao, Madam, it's time, can we set off now?"
Su Man broke free from Xiao Beisheng's arms.
Xiao Beisheng replied towards the door: "It's ready, we can leave immediately."
On the way, Su Man told Gao Xun and Mu Chuchu about Xiao Beisheng's illness: "Please keep an eye on him for a while. Mr. Xiao can't drink alcohol. It's best not to drink unless necessary. If there is no other way, just drink tea instead."
Mu Chuchu just heard that Xiao Beisheng was running a high fever. She couldn't hide her concern and asked hurriedly, "38 degrees is already a high fever. Mr. Xiao, are you really okay?"
Even Gao Xun, an outsider, could feel that Mu Chuchu's reaction was inappropriate.
Especially in front of my wife.
In order to make Mu Chuchu seem less awkward, Gao Xun also interrupted and said, "Yes, Mr. Xiao, is it really okay?"
Xiao Beisheng said, "It's okay."
Originally, this matter could have been exposed like this.
But when she arrived at the banquet, Mu Chuchu ran to a nearby pharmacy and bought some antipyretic drugs.
She ran to Xiao Beisheng breathlessly and said, "Boss Xiao, please take these medicines before entering the venue. It's very dangerous to endure a high fever."
As Mu Chuchu spoke, she helped pour the pills into her palm and considerately unscrewed the bottle of mineral water she had just bought.
Xiao Beisheng frowned and looked at the overly attentive Mu Chuchu in front of him. Just as he was about to speak, Su Man came over from the side and took the bag of medicine from Mu Chuchu's hand.
After checking, Su Man picked up a pill and asked, "Cephalexin?"
"Yes, this is what the pharmacist at the pharmacy prescribed after listening to my description of Mr. Xiao's symptoms. Generally, people take cefuroxime for fever. Madam, is there anything wrong with that?"
Mu Chuchu was very confident and unconvinced.
Su Man smiled: "You are questioning me instead. Let's not talk about it, do you know what symptoms your Mr. Xiao is experiencing? Don't you know that you can't drink alcohol after taking cephalexin?"
"I know! But didn't you say that Mr. Xiao must not be able to drink?"
Su Man shook her head secretly.
Mu Chuchu is still too naive.
This banquet was so important that it was impossible for Xiao Beisheng not to drink at all in order to give face to others. He had to go through the formalities of just touching the glass and pretending to drink. However, he couldn't drink every glass like usual.
"You can't take the medicine for now." Su Man was too lazy to talk nonsense with Mu Chuchu, so she put the medicine back into the bottle in a firm tone.
Mu Chuchu exploded, "Why? Because I bought these medicines?"
"Honestly, you're not that important to me. No matter if you bought it or someone else bought it, I won't let Beisheng take this medicine today."
Su Man spoke in a calm and steady tone, with a confident air in her calmness. In contrast, Mu Chuchu looked like a jumping clown.
Mu Chuchu also felt it.
She felt that she was despised and humiliated by Suman.
She refused to admit defeat and argued, "As Mr. Xiao's secretary, I have an obligation to take care of Mr. Xiao's health."
"Now that I'm here, I, as his wife, will take good care of him. After all, you're just a secretary and can't do everything for him."
This sentence has a meaningful meaning.
Mu Chuchu's face turned even redder, she felt ashamed and angry at having her thoughts exposed.
"Since you are Mr. Xiao's wife, why don't you take care of Mr. Xiao's health? And you let him drink? If I were you, not only would I not let him drink, I would also persuade him not to attend this banquet."
Xiao Beisheng finally couldn't bear to listen any longer and interrupted Mu Chuchu: "Xiao Mu."
"Mr. Xiao..."
Mu Chuchu opened her watery eyes, trying to get Xiao Beisheng to judge.
Xiao Beisheng said, "It was my decision to attend the banquet. Don't use this impossible thing as an example in the future. Also, as a secretary, your most important job is not to care about your boss's health, but to assist with work. Do you understand?"
Mu Chuchu stared blankly, as if she had not expected Xiao Beisheng to be so ruthless and harsh to her. She felt extremely aggrieved, and her breath was stuck in her chest, rising and falling rapidly.
Su Man felt that if Mu Chuchu couldn't hold it back, she would burst into tears in the next second.
Xiao Beisheng said to Su Man in a gentle voice: "It's time, let's go in."
After saying that, he took Su Man's hand, let her hold his arm, and took her away, leaving Mu Chuchu there.
After taking a few steps, Su Man asked Xiao Beisheng, "Actually, what your secretary said makes some sense. I only consider the overall situation, but not you. Don't you think I don't care about you that much?"
"Do you know why my grandmother chose you to be her granddaughter-in-law? Because you know how to consider the overall situation. From the perspective of the Xiao family, you are the right person. From my personal perspective..."
Su Man turned her head slightly to look at him, waiting for his answer.
"From my perspective, the fact that I failed to make you crazy is due to my charm. I need to react well."
Xiao Beisheng said with a joking tone.
Su Man sneered: "Boss Xiao, are you really not a master at picking up girls?"
"It depends on who you're dealing with." Xiao Bei said concisely.
Su Man was quite satisfied with Xiao Beisheng's performance just now.
Although Su Man didn't know how many things Xiao Beisheng was hiding from her, she at least discovered one thing: in the relationship between Mu Chuchu and Xiao Beisheng, Mu Chuchu was the active one.
Mu Chuchu's feelings for Xiao Beisheng are even more passionate than Xiao Beisheng's feelings for Mu Chuchu.
