I Am Her Secret Beauty and Strong Alpha (GL) - Chapter 2

“I’m so incredibly sorry!” Nan Nan kept bowing apologetically. “It’s all my fault for being so careless, making you come all the way out here. I’m truly sorry, Butler Mu!”

He and Mu Xi stood by the roadside, next to a newly repaired luxury car.

Because of this stalled car, Mu Xi, who had just finished showering fifteen minutes ago, was once again covered in dust and grime.

Who would have thought that a car worth millions could break down!

However, she wasn’t dissatisfied at all. Instead, she was quite grateful and said to Nan Nan, “Second Young Master, please don’t say that. Actually, I was the one who made a mistake. I’m very grateful that you gave me a chance to make amends. It’s always my honor to serve you.”

Looking at her sincere appearance, Nan Nan couldn’t help but ask curiously, “What mistake did you make?”

“I… I didn’t pick up the Young Mistress.”

Fifteen minutes earlier.

Mu Xi had just come out after washing her hair when she was struck by a bolt from the blue.

Nan Zhiyai had directly forwarded Nan Xi’s message to her. The Young Mistress, who had just landed, was actually planning to take a taxi back home by herself, taking a cheap cab from the airport back to the Nan residence.

Although Nan Zhiyai hadn’t said anything, Mu Xi immediately felt extremely anxious.

She knew that in her employer’s expectations, she was an all-arounder who never rested. If the employer found out that she had come back to shower and was now idle at home…

A phone call from Nan Nan immediately gave Mu Xi new motivation.

“Butler Mu?” Nan Nan’s helpless voice came from the other end of the phone. Mu Xi’s eyes lit up, as if she saw herself being rescued from the gallows. “Are you busy? I’m on the road, uh, my car broke down by the roadside, and I don’t know how to fix it…”

Nan Nan was the person with the lowest presence in the Nan family. A beta, without the extraordinary talents of her sisters, and possessing an admirable streak of bad luck.

Although she knew he never did it on purpose, Mu Xi still felt a headache every time she helped him deal with those inexplicable messes.

Except this time.

“Second Young Master! Stay where you are, I’m coming right now!”

…

Nan Nan chuckled good-naturedly at Mu Xi’s remorseful reply.

“Oh! Then it’s understandable that Butler Mu would be worried. After all, my younger sister is the only omega in our family, and Mom has always doted on her very much,” Nan Nan said. “When Nan Xi wanted to go abroad to study, Mom strongly opposed it because her health was too weak.”

The car had been repaired. The two stood by the roadside, talking while waiting for the insurance company’s response.

Mu Xi sighed very professionally. “I am very sorry. I will avoid causing Madam any worry in my future work.”

Although the fundamental reason for not picking up Nan Xi was that she didn’t even know what time to pick her up.

But the employer is never wrong, a truth Mu Xi had always deeply understood.

“Hahaha… If Butler Mu wishes for that, it would be best to build a good relationship with my sister, which could avoid a lot of trouble.” Nan Nan looked down at his phone, then quickly overturned his own words, “…Or maybe not. Her temperament is a bit peculiar, perhaps keeping a distance would avoid more trouble.”

Intuition told Mu Xi that what Nan Nan said was absolutely correct.

But as the Nan family’s butler and the Nan family’s most cherished young mistress, how could the two of them maintain a distance?

The insurance company called back quickly. Mu Xi exchanged a few words with them, telling Nan Nan that the compensation would be settled soon, and the car brand also guaranteed that the vice president would personally call Nan Nan to express their apologies.

Nan Nan got into the car with satisfaction and said goodbye to Mu Xi. Mu Xi stood there with a smile and watched him leave.

Once Nan Nan’s car disappeared from sight, the corners of Mu Xi’s raised lips immediately drooped. She habitually began to check her phone to see if she had received any new instructions during the conversation with the insurance company.

Nothing. Nan Zhiyai hadn’t sent a message, and neither had Nan Lian. That was good.

But she should immediately make a full-body check-up appointment for Miss Nan Xi. After all, the Second Young Master had just said that the Young Mistress’s health had always been poor.

…And the research institute. The construction site where Mu Xi had been “laying bricks” in the afternoon was actually the research institute that Nan Zhiyai was building for Miss Nan Xi. She should organize a report on the current construction progress to give to Nan Xi, perhaps it would make her happy.

However, the first thing Mu Xi needed to do now was to rush back to that delicate young mistress and then accept all her instructions.

Mu Xi quickly sorted these thoughts out in her mind. After making a decision, she took two steps forward, and her phone rang again.

Nan Nan’s apologetic voice came from the phone. “Butler Mu! I’m really speechless with myself, so rude! But could I trouble you to come over here again? My car has run into a bit of trouble again…”

…

…

…

Mu Xi got into her car with a blank expression and drove to the location Nan Nan had sent her.

Good heavens.

The stalled car had only been repaired for five minutes, and Nan Nan had driven less than a kilometer before getting into a collision with a pedestrian at an intersection.

When Mu Xi got out of the car, a small crowd had already gathered around Nan Nan’s vehicle, all looking at Nan Nan as if he were an idiot. Her kind-hearted and foolish Second Young Master was squatting in front of an elderly man, and the two were in a stalemate in front of Nan Nan’s car.

The old man who had been hit lay on the ground, shouting desperately, “Someone’s been hit! Someone’s been hit!”

While shouting, his eyes couldn’t help but glance at the logo on the front of Nan Nan’s car, trying hard to hide the excitement in his eyes.

Nan Nan had never encountered such a thing before. He wanted to help the old man up and ask how he was, but the old man rudely brushed his hand away.

He squatted there blankly, looking guilty and helpless. It seemed like he would hand over money to that old fox’s pocket at the slightest command.

Mu Xi pushed through the crowd and walked in. “Second Young Master.”

“You’re here!” When Nan Nan saw Mu Xi, it was as if he had seen a savior. He grabbed Mu Xi’s arm, looking like he was about to cry. “Could you please help me see how this gentleman is? I didn’t see anyone in front, and by the time I reacted, it was too late…”

The old man stopped shouting and sized up the suddenly appearing Mu Xi from bottom to top. Mu Xi sneered at him.

Seeing that Mu Xi seemed like someone not to be trifled with, the old man immediately changed his strategy, abandoning the preliminaries and immediately shouting at Nan Nan, “My condition is very bad now! You quickly take me to the hospital. If you’ve injured me anywhere, you must compensate me!”

Nan Nan nodded quickly, about to obediently help the man up and take him to the hospital, ready to be a fool and pay.

Mu Xi unhurriedly reached out and stopped Nan Nan’s movement. “Second Young Master, I’ve learned some medical knowledge. Let me check this gentleman’s condition first.”

Her strength was considerable. With this block, Nan Nan couldn’t continue to help the old man. The old man wanted to resist and prevent Mu Xi from checking his covered abdomen, but it was all in vain. Mu Xi lifted the old man’s upper body with one hand as if he were a small chicken, and tore open his clothes with the other.

As Mu Xi expected, this cunning old fellow’s stomach was perfectly fine, without even a scratch.

He was lucky to have encountered the naive and generous Nan Nan. Otherwise, if it were someone else, they would have cursed him and his entire family long ago…

“Second Young Master, he has no external injuries. I believe he is not actually injured and is just trying to swindle your money,” Mu Xi straightened up and truthfully informed Nan Nan of her assessment.

Nan Nan looked even more surprised than the con artist. “What? Could it be internal injuries?”

“I’m sorry, Second Young Master, but if he had indeed been hit by your car and sustained internal injuries, I’m afraid I wouldn’t see absolutely no external wounds.”

While Mu Xi was saying this to Nan Nan, she secretly exerted force on the old man’s arm, causing him to grimace in pain but unable to say anything.

“How could this be…” Nan Nan processed the information Mu Xi gave him. During this time, Mu Xi persistently pinched the old man without saying a word.

Finally, after being pinched by Mu Xi for a full five minutes, the con artist couldn’t take it anymore.

He nimbly got up from the ground, forcefully shook off Mu Xi’s hand, muttered “Crazy woman! What young master and butler? Who do you think you are, a Nan family member?!” and then pushed through the jeering crowd and walked away angrily.

This time, even Nan Nan, who had never encountered such a situation, knew that he had been deceived.

The old man quickly disappeared without a trace. He turned back to Mu Xi with even more guilt and apologized, “I’m sorry, Butler Mu. I didn’t know it was like this. I’ve troubled you again…”

“It’s alright, Second Young Master,” Mu Xi said with a smile. “I’m used to it.”

She dispersed the onlookers, who were discussing the relationship between Mu Xi and Nan Nan, saying that Mu Xi was probably the idiot’s nanny. After that, Mu Xi fully utilized her learned psychology knowledge to comfort the dejected Nan Nan and give him apology

“This situation is generally called ‘pengci,’ where people stage accidents to extort money by exploiting the victim’s guilt. If the Second Young Master encounters something like…”

Having said this, Mu Xi also took the opportunity to introduce Nan Nan to knowledge on how to prevent drowning in the summer, but she estimated that Nan Nan would still accidentally fall into the water and call her afterward.

What a headache. The main content of the book she transmigrated into was the power struggles within the Nan family. How could Nan Nan fight his sisters like this?

Mu Xi patiently helped Nan Nan back into his car.

With improved vehicle safety and awareness, he shouldn’t run into any more trouble today.

She hoped Nan Nan could say a few good words for her in front of Nan Zhiyai. Although she didn’t pick up Nan Xi today, she really hadn’t been idle all day and had been diligently serving the Nan family.

Even though she wasn’t home right now, she had already explained all the matters to the assistants and servants. Whether it was housework or the newly returned Nan Xi, there were no details that required Nan Zhiyai’s concern.

She began to book a full-body check-up for Nan Xi for the next day, the kind where the family doctor would bring equipment and assistants to Nan Xi’s door.

In this hot weather, the Young Mistress couldn’t be allowed to go out and get tired.

The family doctor replied quickly. Considering that Nan Xi might need to adjust to the time difference and rest, Mu Xi cautiously chose an afternoon time slot for her and informed the doctor in advance that they might need to wait for the Young Mistress to wake up.

So professional, simply perfect.

Although she had only graduated from domestic science university three years ago, Mu Xi felt that she had already reached the industry benchmark.

With a butler like her, how could anyone find fault!

…Ignoring the fact that she didn’t pick up the Young Mistress.

Mu Xi felt a little uneasy, which caused her to grip the steering wheel harder, leaving some faint finger marks on it.

Alphas were like this; if they weren’t very careful, they could easily cause unnecessary harm.

Before entering the door, Mu Xi dusted off the gray marks on her suit again. They had gotten there while helping Nan Nan repair the stalled car, and perhaps some had rubbed off on her while confronting the con artist, but it didn’t matter.

She also checked the details of her collar, cuffs, and hem.

After confirming that her appearance was impeccable, Mu Xi raised her head, her face adorned with an irreproachable and friendly smile. She walked into her workplace, ready for the first meeting with her last service recipient.

Just a few steps inside, Mu Xi saw Nan Xi sitting on the sofa in a daze.

She was beautiful, noble, and delicate. Yes, this was undoubtedly the Nan family’s Young Mistress.

Her appearance had a three-part resemblance to her mother, Nan Zhiyai, and a two-part resemblance to her father, Guan Yan. The remaining five parts were her own unique charm, a charm that made her the most beautiful person in the Nan family in Mu Xi’s eyes.

She studied chemistry, a field Mu Xi had no involvement in. However, perhaps she could mention researchers who had some past connections with the Nan family to bridge the gap between them…

Mu Xi walked towards Nan Xi. The other woman trembled all over, her eyes widened, and her pupils constricted, which made Mu Xi feel somewhat puzzled. But having already come this far, Mu Xi still spoke in her gentlest voice:

“Hello, Young Mistress, I…”

She couldn’t finish what she wanted to say.

Because before she could introduce herself, Nan Xi, who clearly looked quite delicate and unaggressive, suddenly sprang up and slapped her face with all her might.

To be honest, in Mu Xi’s opinion, this slap was soft and painless, with no real force.

On the contrary, she felt that Nan Xi’s hand was very soft, and the temperature when it touched her cheek was pleasant. There was no sweat on her palm, so it seemed her health wasn’t that bad.

…Something seemed a little off.

Mu Xi looked at Nan Xi in surprise. The other woman seemed extremely angry at this moment. Her originally pale face was flushed red, her moist eyes were wide open, staring at her, and her rosy lips were slightly parted and trembling uncontrollably.
