Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Watching Wen Xin’s unfamiliarity, Mu Chengxi didn’t dare to let her handle it. In case she got burned, he’d be the one feeling the pain, and he wasn’t willing to take that risk.
After eating some broth, Wen Xin asked Mu Chengxi to return to his room. She took out the small medicine bottle from the drawer beside his bed and poured out a pill before feeding it to Mu Chengxi.
“Take your medicine and have a good sleep. You’ll be fine tomorrow morning!”
Wen Xin adjusted the temperature of the air-conditioner, covered him with the blanket, and prepared to leave.
Mu Chengxi reached out to hold Wen Xin’s wrist and held her hand in his. “Wen
Xin, I’m a patient. I’m very safe. I can give you half of my bed.”
There was a faint blush on his handsome face, and his deep eyes were misty. Wen Xin looked at Mu Chengxi, unable to reject him. She took a deep breath and said, “I’ll shower first.”
Wen Xin came out of the bathroom after taking a shower and saw Mu Chengxi fast asleep and breathing evenly.
She hesitated momentarily and wanted to leave, but she was worried about him. She was worried that he would have a fever in the middle of the night, so she climbed onto the bed slowly and lay down on the other side.
Wen Xin had just laid down properly when a slender arm stretched out and pulled her into his embrace domineeringly, pressing his body tightly against her back.
“I’ll just hug you to sleep. I won’t do anything. Goodnight. “Mu Chengxi rubbed his head against Wen Xin’s neck. Mu Chengxi nuzzled his head against Wen Xin’s neck, his voice soft and low, carrying an indescribable sense of restraint, both sexy and captivating.
After an unknown period of time, Wen Xin fell into a deep sleep in his arms. Mu Chengxi’s eyes, which were originally tightly shut, slowly opened. He looked at Wen Xin, sleeping soundly like a baby, and gently kissed her. Satisfied, he retracted his arms and leaned against Wen Xin to sleep.
The next morning, Wen Xin climbed out of bed quietly and placed her warm palm on Mu Chengxi’s forehead. The normal body temperature made her heave a sigh of relief.
Seeing Mu Chengxi sound asleep, Wen Xin did not have the heart to disturb him. She climbed out of bed and went straight to the bathroom to wash up.
When Wen Xin came out of the bathroom after washing up, Mu Chengxi was no longer on the bed. Wen Xin pushed open the bedroom door and saw Mu Dong setting up breakfast in the dining room.
“Good morning, Miss Wen. Master Xi has just gone to wash up. Come over and have breakfast first. I’ll send you to school afterward.” Mu Dong had received Mu Chengxi’s call and brought breakfast over. He was already used to Wen Xin coming out of Mu Chengxi’s bedroom.
Wen Xin responded indifferently and walked to the dining table to sit down. She took the millet porridge that Mu Dong handed over and picked up a small steamed bun. She felt that the taste of the small steamed bun was not bad, so she ate two more.
Mu Dong noticed that Wen Xin had a good appetite. He suddenly thought of something and hesitated for a moment before asking carefully.
“Miss Wen, if you need to check out, I can help you go to the school to do it.”
“Retreat? When did I have to check out?” When Wen Xin heard Mu Dong’s words, she raised his head and looked at him puzzled, as if she did not quite understand why Mu Dong would ask such a question.
“Well, I think it’s good for Miss Wen to stay at Yuelu Garden. You have to ask for leave if you want to leave. It’ll save you a lot of trouble.”
Mu Dong looked at Wen Xin and stammered. His master liked to let Wen Xin grow freely. As a subordinate, he had no choice but to seek benefits for his master.
“No need. I’m living quite well on campus. It’s more convenient than living outside.” Wen Xin did not think deeply about the meaning behind Mu Dong’s words. She thought that Mu Dong found her troublesome.
Mu Chengxi listened to their conversation in the bathroom, and the corners of his mouth curled up. He did not know when Mu Dong had become so sensible, but Wen Xin’s decision could not be changed.
Actually, this was quite good. He was really afraid that he would lose control and eat Wen Xin.
Wen Xin finished his breakfast and looked at the time. “I should go to school.”
“I’ll send you.” Mu Chengxi came out of the bathroom. He had returned to his usual cold and aloof appearance. The fever had disappeared entirely.
“You haven’t eaten breakfast yet. Mu Dong can send me.” Wen Xin walked to the living room and picked up the backpack. She took out her phone from the backpack and spoke in a light tone.
“It’s okay. It’s the same if we eat when we come back.” Mu Chengxi walked to Wen Xin’s side and habitually took the backpack from Wen Xin’s shoulder. He held Wen Xin’s hand and walked towards the door.
Mu Dong stood rooted to the ground. He looked at the car keys on the table and hurriedly took them to chase after her. He felt that breakfast was served today, and he had more dog food to enjoy.
Sitting in the car, Wen Xin replied to the messages she did not reply to yesterday. There were messages from Tan Xingyue and Wen Huai asking her what she was going to do.
In the end, Wen Xin saw a string of unfamiliar phone numbers and a message. Her eyes narrowed slightly.
“You’re too weak. You shouldn’t have let those people who bullied you off so easily. Take me for example. I want to destroy what they care about the most. I’m happy to see them get nothing.”
Mu Chengxi seemed to notice that something was not right with Wen Xin’s expression. He leaned over to look at Wen Xin and asked gently, “What’s wrong?”
“It’s a message from Geng Zewei.” Wen Xin placed the phone in front of Mu Chengxi. The corners of her lips curled up calmly, and a look of excitement flashed across her eyes.
“Yesterday, you said that the Geng Corporation sold the core technical staff to you. I wasn’t surprised at all. This is definitely something Geng Zewei would do.”
“Geng Zewei is the child left behind by Geng Shikui’s ex-wife. Geng Shikui used to be a small employee. He was very good at business and was appreciated by Geng Zewei’s grandfather. Later, he married Geng Zewei’s mother and became a real phoenix man.”
“Shortly after Geng Zewei was born, his mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. It wasn’t a fatal disease, but for some reason, she couldn’t be cured and passed away.”
“After that, Geng Shikui met Su Li. He ignored everyone’s objections and married Su Li. Geng Zewei’s grandfather was so angry that he suffered a stroke and died not long after.”
“Geng Zewei didn’t have a mother since he was young, nor did he have the protection of his grandfather’s family. Su Li and Geng Qiu bullied him since he was young, and he developed a very gloomy personality. This time, he has obtained control of the Geng Corporation. He will definitely want to destroy the Geng family, so what he did was not surprising at all.”
Wen Xin put her phone down and looked at Mu Chengxi gently. She smiled faintly and said, “Actually, it wasn’t a waste to spend that 10 billion yuan. There’s still a research and development project. However, Geng Shikui’s information was not enough, so he didn’t manage to develop it.. If you’re interested..
