Chapter 870 The 'Dummy' Who Refused to Be Bound for a Lifetime (8)
Mu Zhou sat back on the bed, obedient and well-behaved.
Shen Junchuan lowered his eyes and frowned as he looked at her:
"You're still on an IV drip, why are you moving around?"
He looked unwell, and a clear hint of irritation appeared between his brows.
Mu Zhou was much more troublesome than he had imagined.
He couldn't help but think about this collaboration, which he thought would require little effort.
In fact, given Song Huaizhi's status as his ex-girlfriend, many people are destined to keep their distance from Mu Zhou.
Offending Song Huaizhi is no laughing matter.
But Shen Junchuan wouldn't take these things seriously.
He just hoped that Mu Zhou could stay there quietly, just like he had been at the front desk last night.
She has a strangely relaxing aura about her.
Perhaps this is due to the rules of the Song family, which made her quiet, composed, and sensible.
Unexpectedly, she collapsed right in front of him, causing him to be deeply moved.
However, how has she lived in the Song family all these years?
Did Song Huaizhi raise her to have such a frail and sickly body?
He looked at Mu Zhou's pale face, his voice deep and serious:
"Lie down."
Mu Zhou glanced at him, but ultimately lay back down.
There was another knock on the door; this time it was the doctor.
Shen Junchuan took a few steps back and stood by the wall.
After retaking the temperature, the doctor said:
"The fever has subsided, and the blood test results have come back. Some values are outside the normal range, but there's nothing seriously wrong."
The doctor asked Mu Zhou some more questions, including whether she had been running a fever recently.
Mu Zhou nodded:
"I got caught in the rain a few days ago, and then I had a fever and fainted once. I got a fever-reducing injection, and afterwards I felt a little dizzy and took some medicine."
As Shen Junchuan listened, his dark eyes grew even more profound.
Getting caught in the rain?
It rained heavily the day before yesterday.
That same day, she came for the job interview.
Something flashed through his mind, and he lowered his eyes.
The doctor advised that recurring symptoms are bad for the body and should be taken seriously, otherwise it could lead to chronic illness.
Mu Zhou listened attentively:
"I understand, thank you, doctor."
After the IV drip ended, the doctor prescribed some medication.
Once the doctor left, Mu Zhou had no reason to stay any longer:
"I'm sorry, Mr. Shen, for causing you trouble."
"Ah."
Shen Junchuan followed her outside.
After Mu Zhou left, the room manager came upstairs.
"Mr. Shen, do you need all the bedding in the bedroom replaced? I'll have someone come and clean it right away."
This young master Shen is notoriously picky; how could he possibly tolerate a bed that has been slept on by an outsider?
It definitely needs to be thrown far away.
Just as the manager was about to make a call, Shen Junchuan sat at the bar, mixed himself a drink, and said in a nonchalant tone:
"No need."
"……what?"
Shen Junchuan glanced at him sideways, and the manager immediately lowered his head:
"Yes, Mr. Shen, I understand."
Meanwhile, Mu Zhou went straight back to his dormitory.
With the commotion outside, it was no longer appropriate for Mu Zhou to remain at the front desk; her resignation procedures had already been completed.
That evening, Shen Junchuan's agency, AE Entertainment, contacted her.
Perhaps Shen Junchuan had already instructed her to rest for the next few days and then go to the company to sign the contract three days later.
These past few days, Mu Zhou has been resting peacefully.
*
Three days flew by.
Mu Zhou went to AE Entertainment alone.
Her agent, Sister Ling, and the general manager received her.
Next comes signing the contract.
Having been by Song Huaizhi's side for so long, Mu Zhou naturally understood the contract.
She carefully looked through it and only signed her name after confirming that there were no problems.
Sister Ling is a very efficient person. When she learned that Mu Zhou was moving that afternoon, she immediately followed her back to the dormitory at the resort and moved her things into her new place, Ruan Nanyuan.
Mu Zhou accepted Shen Junchuan's house and decided to live there from now on.
"The company has already started preparing your first album. I'll have someone pick you up tomorrow so you can organize your original works."
"Okay, Sister Ling."
After seeing her off, Mu Zhou tidied up with great enthusiasm.
Over the years, she has written many songs. Some of them she secretly recorded as demos, while others were just casual notes written on paper and recorded as humming lines.
These things are not suitable to show directly to others.
Just as I was working myself to the bone, the doorbell rang.
Mu Zhou was a little confused.
She just moved in, who would come looking for her?
Upon reaching the door and seeing the person appear on the screen, her body instinctively stiffened.
The person outside was very patient, continuing to ring the doorbell without showing the slightest impatience.
Mu Zhou paused for a moment, then opened the door.
Since he was able to find her, he must know that she must be at home.
There's no point in running away.
The door opened, and Mu Zhou looked at the man outside with a complicated expression.
Song Huaizhi had a refined and steady face with just the right amount of ruggedness in his features. He was neither too cold and sharp, nor would people underestimate him based on his appearance.
When he looks at people, he always gives you a sense of boundless trust, making you think that you are the most unique one in his eyes, and easily making you his fan.
Despite it being summer, he was dressed formally in a full suit.
It was a high-end custom-made piece that he always wore, a habit he maintained for over a decade.
The collar was buttoned all the way up, the cufflinks on his wrists gleamed with a dark luster, and his hair was neatly combed.
He looked old-fashioned and meticulous.
Song Huaizhi showed no surprise whatsoever.
It was as if they were certain that Mu Zhou would open the door.
A slight smile curved his lips:
"Aren't you going to invite me in, Zhouzhou?"
Mu Zhou pursed her lips and stepped aside.
The door was closed again.
After entering the room, Song Huaizhi casually glanced around.
He looked at the lyrics and sheet music scattered on the table, then bent down and picked one up.
"You're still writing songs."
It was stated in a declarative tone, yet it carried immense pressure.
In the past, Mu Zhou would have deliberately torn up these musical scores to ensure that he would never again indulge in such frivolous pursuits and touch these things.
But now, Mu Zhou simply took the sheet music from his hand calmly.
"Brother Huaizhi, what are you doing here?"
Mu Zhou hadn't called him Huai Zhi Ge in a long time.
When they first met, that's how the two parents told her to address them.
Later, she was taken to the Song family. Afraid of being abandoned, she called him "Brother Huaizhi" for a while. Later, because of her own little thoughts, she began to boldly change her address to "Song Huaizhi".
After that, she never called him "Brother Huaizhi" again.
Upon hearing those three words, Song Huaizhi paused for a moment, then looked at her.
He narrowed his eyes, his tone unpredictable:
"Are you still angry?"
Mu Zhou didn't look at him, but quietly put away the sheet music.
"No, I'm busy. You can go if there's nothing else."
Mu Zhou's attitude pushed Song Huaizhi's patience to its limit.
His expression turned slightly cold.
His presence here today means he has already investigated everything.
"You want to sign with a company and become a singer?" He stared at Mu Zhou, his tone condescending. "I can understand that you're deliberately going against me out of spite, but there's a bottom line to everything."
Becoming a celebrity who appears in public means she's destined to have no chance of marrying into the Song family.
Mu Zhou couldn't possibly be unaware of this.
So Song Huaizhi was reminding her, but also warning her.
