Chapter 19
After lunch, Chu Muchao rested for a while in the president's office.
Leaning back on the sofa, I leisurely sipped the low-sugar jasmine rose milk tea made by my aunt.
It was almost time for me to go to work in the afternoon when I leisurely went downstairs.
Fortunately, she delayed for half a day.
The news that a colleague saw an intern in the president's private elevator spread throughout the entire company.
Chu Muchao had just returned to his workstation when several people came to the operations department to watch him, using various excuses.
In my mind, the system's real-time mind-reading and gossip broadcasts rose and fell.
[Some have boldly speculated that, since you share the same surname, Miss Chu, you might be the younger sister of the group's president.]
However, some countered that no CEO would willingly let their beloved daughter work as an intern at a branch office and be bullied, so the speculation about the surname is just a coincidence.
[Wow, someone here is really going too far! They're guessing that Miss Mu Mu, you dress up so exquisitely every day just to seduce men. This system is getting a little angry. Miss Mu Mu is just naturally beautiful; she clearly doesn't put in any effort to dress up.]
Chu Muchao: ...
She felt that the system's last sentence was a bit strange, as if it had been watching her from another dimension.
It felt as if I could actually see her with my own eyes.
【…Miss Mu Mu, this system believes the time is almost right.】
As more and more people gathered to watch Chu Muchao, it meant that the rumors would spread to even more people.
Chu Muchao picked up the black pen and silently recited the spell to transform into a magical girl.
Even though I've seen it twice before, today I saw with my own eyes, in the reflection of the computer screen when it was off, a huge bow appeared on one side of my head, tying up my hair, and my clothes, after being enveloped in bright colored light, turned into a sailor uniform.
It was still very impressive.
And speechless.
【^-^Miss Mu Mu is so cute like this.】
Chu Muchao: Ah, sorry, I'm just not dramatic enough.
Chu Muchao closed his eyes and recited the magic incantation "Words will come true".
—It is true.
—I demand that everyone involved in spreading rumors and gossip should immediately do the last thing they want to do when they attempt to spread rumors.
【^-^That's really bad.】
Chu Muchao: If everyone who spreads rumors had to clean up the mess, the cleaning staff would be overwhelmed. Randomness is what makes it fun.
[Congratulations, Miss Mu Mu! You have successfully cast the spell "Words Come True" on multiple people for the first time. The system will reward you with a large amount of magic skill experience points and credits.]
[Speech Proof Skill Proficiency +50, Speech Proof: 68/100.]
[Magic Points +25, Total Points: 65.]
[Magic Points +1]
[Magic Points +1]
...
In addition to the large amount of points and proficiency gained after casting a spell, there are also several points that keep increasing every second.
Immediately, Chu Muchao saw that everyone except Shen Jia stood up and became very busy.
Some people got up to mop the floor, some suddenly picked up a stack of documents from the table and went to the shredder, and some held up their laptops and started making phone calls to take over the customer service work.
Suddenly, someone lay down and started doing sit-ups. Someone else took a hard-boiled egg from a drawer, slammed it on another person's table, and angrily said, "Can you please stop giving me your own breakfast that you don't eat? Who wants to eat an egg that you cooked so long and tasted so awful?!"
Many more people simply turn on their computers and start working.
Everyone's busy with their own things, that's great.
It's so much quieter now.
Chu Muchao was about to deactivate the magical girl state.
Suddenly, I heard the system call out in my mind, slightly urgently: "Miss Mu Mu."
Oh, I forgot about the agreed-upon deal.
Chu Muchao: Sorry, sorry, I'll change it now.
Chu Muchao redeemed a wish card.
Seeing my score drop back to single digits, I felt nothing.
She didn't know what the points were for.
In her world, anyone can fulfill her every wish; it seems she doesn't need any items from the magic shop.
Since the system requires it, there's no harm in helping him redeem one.
Thank you, Miss Mu Mu.
[You can put the wish card in the magic warehouse; I'll come back to pick it up later.]
Chu Muchao: OKK.
Chu Muchao was relieved to deactivate the magical girl mode and put the pen back in his backpack.
-
Chu Wen finally returned home at 10 p.m.
We haven't been in touch for a day, and I have no idea what Chu Muchao is doing.
Chu Wen, drunk and delirious, stumbled to the door of Chu Muchao's room, driven only by his obsession.
His excuses, like "I don't know what my sister is doing," were just that—excuses. He simply wanted to see his sister.
The thought popped into Chu Wen's head, and his actions were faster than his brain reacted; he had already turned the doorknob.
Chu Muchao had just finished showering and was wrapped in a towel, leaning to one side as he wrapped his hair with a towel.
Hearing a noise at the door, I walked towards it without thinking.
Chu Wen leaned against the door frame.
When he didn't see Chu Muchao at first glance, he already guessed that Chu Muchao must be taking a bath.
But he's drunk now.
He doesn't have to be so rational.
Or, I just want to see it for myself.
Chu Muchao peeked out and saw Chu Wen leaning against the door frame, looking languid and disoriented.
It looks like I might fall to the ground at any moment.
Chu Muchao quickly walked over and supported Chu Wen's arm.
"Brother, why did you drink so much?"
Chu Muchao wrinkled his nose and sniffed. The man's entire body, even his breath, was filled with the strong smell of alcohol. He felt a little sorry for him, but he couldn't help but scold him.
"What kind of dinner party is this? Why are you drinking like this? It stinks."
"Brother, does it smell bad?"
Chu Wen pretended to reach out and grab his clothes to smell them.
His elbow slipped, and he leaned his whole body on Chu Muchao's shoulder.
Chu Muchao almost lost his balance and instinctively grabbed Chu Wen's waist and pushed him against the wall, trying to use the wall's force to stabilize Chu Wen's body.
"Hey, can you even muster the strength yourself? You're so heavy, I can't support you!"
Chu Wen lowered his eyes, humming something unconsciously.
The overhead light cast a shadow over Chu Wen's eyes. His sharp, clear eyes, hidden in that shadow, quietly observed the fair skin before him.
There were still water droplets on her hair, which slid off with Chu Muchao's movements and dripped onto her shoulder and collarbone.
The light blue bath towel barely covered her, as if it might come undone at any moment.
I can't watch anymore.
Chu Wen forced himself to turn his head.
Miss Mu Mu, he's not drunk.
Chu Muchao was still struggling to support Chu Wen's body when the system's voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
Slightly different from her usual gentle voice, her mild emotions seemed to have faded a bit.
Chu Muchao was surprised: I thought the evening was your rest time.
Yes, that's right.
Chu Muchao: Then you...
But I felt that Miss Mu Mu needed me, so I came.
[Miss Mu Mu, your brother isn't so drunk that he's unconscious and unable to take care of himself. If you don't believe me, let go of his hand and see if he really falls to the ground.]
Chu Muchao remained silent for a few seconds.
She raised her head in Chu Wen's arms.
At this moment, Chu Wen frowned, tilting his chin to the right.
It seemed as if they were trying their best to endure the pain.
Chu Muchao asked worriedly, "Is it a headache?"
“…Hmm.” Chu Wen’s voice was low and hoarse, barely audible.
Chu Muchao quickly called the smart home assistant.
"Call the housekeeper upstairs, my brother is drunk!"
Smart Butler: "Okay, Miss, I've connected you to the butler's internal line."
After the housekeeper answered the phone and heard that Chu Wen was drunk and was at the door of Chu Muchao's room, he hurriedly went upstairs.
Chu Wen pushed Chu Muchao away, turned around and walked out of the room, standing against the wall.
"I'm fine, you... get dressed."
Chu Muchao looked down.
!!
It's all Chu Wen's fault. He came to open the door drunk, making her forget that she hadn't even had time to change her clothes!
Chu Muchao slammed the door shut with a "bang".
He reeked of Chu Wen's alcohol; it was awful.
She needs to take another shower.
-
Chu Muchao originally didn't intend to pay any attention to Chu Wen.
Chu Wen didn't tell her that they couldn't have lunch together.
She remembers this very well.
After a night, Chu Muchao woke up again and completely forgot about the incident.
When I came downstairs, Chu Wen was already having breakfast in the restaurant.
Looking up and seeing her, Chu Wen raised his eyebrows slightly: "Come and have breakfast."
"Hmm~"
*
The banquet that Chu Jianghe and Yan Ke were hosting for Chu Muchao was scheduled for Saturday in a small villa next to the main house.
Yan Ke said.
"Let's not go to the hotel, it's too far, and it's troublesome for Chaochao to go home."
"Just let the family chef cook whatever Chaochao wants to eat."
Xu Sui and Gu Xinyi arrived on Saturday afternoon.
Today's makeup artist and stylist were brought by Gu Xinyi.
"These are some amazing new makeup artists and stylists we just signed. You should try out the trendy 'rich lady' makeup look."
Chu Muchao was naturally willing to try.
Except for important occasions when she hires a makeup artist and stylist to do her makeup and styling, she usually does her own makeup.
There were no special techniques involved; she simply followed the standard procedures she knew.
The makeup artist first did Chu Muchao's hair and makeup, while the stylist went to the dressing room to help Chu Muchao choose an outfit to wear that night.
In front of the dressing mirror.
The makeup artist held Chu Muchao's face in her hands, examining it closely and asking if he was comfortable with the makeup and styling.
After discussing it, the makeup artist looked Chu Muchao up and down and exclaimed, "Miss Chu, your skin is so good. Your face is fair and delicate, without a single blemish or freckle. Your facial features are perfectly proportioned, and your left and right sides of your face are so symmetrical. It's so comfortable to do your makeup."
Are proportion and symmetry also points to praise?
Chu Muchao felt a little embarrassed by the praise, and his eyelids drooped slightly.
"Thank you, teacher. Let's begin."
Xu Sui sat beside him, resting her chin on her hand as she looked at Chu Muchao's face.
"It's not just her face, her body proportions are amazing too."
A few meters away, the stylist's loud question could be heard.
"Would Miss Chu like to try a figure-hugging outfit today?"
Xu Sui stroked her chin, her mind automatically conjuring up images of form-fitting dresses on Chu Muchao: "It's not a bad idea, there must be plenty of styles to choose from in the closet, why not give it a try?"
Gu Xinyi complained, "Forget it, her brother, who's a total sister-obsessed brother, would never allow it."
"Tch." Xu Sui curled her lip. "Chu Wen isn't coming again today."
"Isn't my brother coming?"
"Chu Wen isn't coming? Doesn't he know today is Chaochao's day...?"
Gu Xinyi and Chu Muchao looked up at the same time.
Xu Sui shrugged: "He's not coming. I just saw someone in the group say that he made plans to go to the club with Chu Wen tonight."
Gu Xinyi exclaimed in disbelief, "Huh? Going to the club again? Today is a special banquet that Uncle and Auntie are throwing for Chaochao to find a husband!"
Chu Muchao blinked.
"Looking for a son-in-law? What does that mean? Which son-in-law?"
"The 'son-in-law' in 'son-in-law'." Xu Sui moved her chair closer. "You didn't know? You look so surprised... Ah! Could it be that Chu Wen didn't know either?"
Chu Muchao thought back for a moment.
When Mommy brought it up, she probably didn't say she was looking for a son-in-law, right? And... she's only twenty-two, there's no rush for this, is there?
"No, that can't be, right?"
