Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife-Chapter 1023: Their Chances Are Slim (6)

This is the best outcome.

Footsteps approached.

Secretary Li eventually felt letting her be like this wasn’t right, so he walked into the room, took out the rope and tape, planning to bind her hands and feet, and seal her mouth with tape.

When Secretary Li finished these actions, a noise came from downstairs again, making his hair stand on end.

Only to hear Cyclops ask, "Where’s your secretary?"

Secretary Li’s entire body stiffened, as if he had turned into a statue.

Gu Nuan seemed to be observing a stone statue, interestingly scrutinizing his face.

Secretary Li clenched his teeth hard, and sealed her mouth with another strip of tape.

Su Yixia said, "He — went out to buy something for me —"

"Buying something in the middle of the night?"

Su Yixia coughed forcefully a couple of times, said, "I seem to have caught a bit of a cold, so he’s worried I might get sick, and went to the pharmacy to buy cold medicine."

"A cold?" Cyclops said, "Mr. Mu happens to be good at treating illnesses; why not let him take a look at you?"

"No, no, no, there’s no need —" Su Yixia quickly squeezed out a smile and stood up, "How could I trouble Mr. Mu with such a minor ailment? — And besides, godfather, you’ve had a strenuous journey all night. Let me prepare guest rooms for you to rest."

"No need to bother." Cyclops said, "I’ll stay on the third floor; we can go up ourselves."

Third floor?!

Su Yixia was startled, almost losing all her composure.

"Godfather, isn’t your room on the second floor?"

Already heard footsteps heading towards the stairway, Su Yixia hurriedly called for the maid to hold her hand, going after Cyclops and the others.

"My room is on the second floor, but the guest rooms are on the third floor. Must arrange a room for Mr. Mu first." Cyclops said.

As Mu followed him upstairs, he looked back at Su Yixia who was coming along, asking, "Where does she stay?"

"Her eyes are inconvenient, so obviously letting her stay downstairs." Cyclops said this, somewhat impatiently, and said to the maid, "Don’t you see Miss has trouble with her eyes? Why are you taking her upstairs?"

The maid was so frightened she didn’t dare to breathe, immediately releasing Su Yixia’s hand.

Su Yixia hurriedly explained, "No, godfather, when guests come to our home, I should greet them on your behalf. Besides, tidying the beds and such trivial matters shouldn’t require godfather to handle personally; it can be handled by someone else or I can do it."

Mu stood between the two of them, his back against the stairway wall, seemingly amused by their eagerness to show hospitality, thus stood by and watched the scene unfold.

Cyclops turned back, his eyes with a slightly deep gaze looking at her.

Su Yixia’s heart almost died from fright. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

If she’s not careful, she would arouse suspicion in these two anytime; that would be really bad.

"You should go downstairs." Cyclops said, "If I need someone, I’ll call them over."

Su Yixia only heard his footsteps continue upward, tightly gripping the stair railing, shouting, "Godfather — your legs aren’t convenient, come downstairs with me; let the servants tidy the rooms."

"I’ve already said, Mr. Mu is a very important guest, I must attend to him personally."

"Hey —" Mu suddenly interjected, "You’re so enthusiastic, I’m overwhelmed."

"Exactly, exactly —" Su Yixia nodded vigorously.

Her eyes can’t see, so she wasn’t aware that, while she was busy agreeing with Mu, the two men had already glanced at her overly exaggerated expression with subtle waves in their eyes.
