Mu Chengxi felt like the fire within him was about to consume him. He got up from the bed and walked straight toward the bathroom.
Wen Xin crawled out from under the blanket when she heard the sound of running water. She swore to herself that she would not go too far. She could already feel how ferocious he was. If she had been a little bit more, she would have been eaten up without even bones left.
Wen Xin got off the bed and sat back down in front of the computer table. She accepted Wei Shisheng’s bounty, turned off the computer, and climbed back into bed with her phone.
As soon as she climbed back into bed, Wen Xin’s phone vibrated. She swiped the screen to see a message from Lucas.
“Don’t reply. I’m in a bit of danger. Aiden’s godson is back, and he’s been angered by Aiden. We don’t know if he’s dead or alive. Aiden is investigating the traitor. Don’t worry, I’ve already found someone he trusts to be his scapegoat. I should be fine. I’ll contact you when the storm is over.”
After reading the message, Wen Xin deleted it. She lay on the bed and took a deep breath.
Mu Chengxi came out of the bathroom and happened to see this scene. He threw the towel in his hand onto the chair and climbed onto the bed. He wrapped his arms around Wen Xin’s waist and pulled her into his arms.
“What’s wrong? Did something happen?”
“The goods are gone. Aiden is furious. Geng Zewei has angered Aiden. Now that his whereabouts are unknown, my people might be in danger too.”
Wen Xin leaned into Mu Chengxi’s embrace. Since Mu Chengxi already knew what she was going to do, she felt that there was no need to hide the matter regarding the Shadow Alliance from him.
“Can he tell you the location? I can arrange for my people to rescue him.” Mu Chengxi thought that Wen Xin was worried about her informant and he could cooperate with Wen Xin to get her informant out.
“No need. He’s just providing me with clues. He’s not one of my men. He has his own forces and is very ambitious. If he wants the Shadow Alliance, he can protect himself.”
Wen Xin looked up at Mu Chengxi. She wrapped an arm around his neck and buried her head in his chest. “It’s getting late. We can go to sleep now.”
Smelling the faint fragrance of shower gel on Mu Chengxi, Wen Xin felt a sense of comfort. She didn’t know when it had started, but she had unknowingly become dependent on him.
The next morning, Mu Bei brought breakfast into Mu Chengxi’s apartment. He was met with Wen Xin’s cold gaze. He was very puzzled as to what he had done wrong.
He looked at Mu Chengxi pleadingly. Mu Chengxi took the breakfast from Mu
Bei’s hands. “You can go back to the capital first.”
Mu Bei felt very aggrieved that he was suddenly sent back to the capital. He thought he could stay by Master Xi’s side this time. What happened?
“I understand. As for Young Master Liang…” Mu Bei wanted to ask who would take care ot Liang Luoyu it he left. Now, he was taking care ot Liang Luoyu and Tan Xingyue alone.
“Where’s Mu Dong?”
Mu Chengxi placed the breakfast on the dining table and placed it on a plate. He waved at Wen Xin, who was sitting on the sofa in exhaustion.
Wen Xin glared at Mu Chengxi with dissatisfaction. She slowly stood up from the sofa and walked to the dining table. She sat down and took the pan-fried bun from Mu Chengxi.
“Mu Dong and Young Master Ling went to discuss a collaboration with the Zhao family. The Zhao family recently formed a collaboration with the Yan family in B City. Young Master Ling was interested and went to watch the press conference. Mu Dong also went with them.”
Actually, Mu Bei wanted to go with him. He also wanted to see what super energy was, but Mu Dong said that he might have to go back to Continent F with Young Master Ling. Mu Bei was happy and did not argue with him.
“Then you can go back to the hospital first. When Liang Luoyu is discharged, you can go back to Beijing.”
“Master Xi, why do I have to go back to the capital? I want to stay in Ice City to take care of you and Ms. Wen. Besides, Ms. Wen needs someone to take care of her two pets. I can’t let you walk the dog and pick up its poop every day, right?”
Mu Bei said shyly. When he was in the capital, he had been bored to death. He did not want to return to that place.
Mu Chengxi hesitated at the thought of walking the dog and shoveling his poop every day.
Actually, he was also a germaphobe. Otherwise, he would not have placed Wen Xin’s two pets in the place where Mu Bei and Mu Dong lived.
“Forget it, let him stay. I really can’t imagine you picking up Guagua’s poop.”
Wen Xin put the last bite of the pan-fried bun into her mouth and glanced at Mu Bei indifferently. She would force him to stay on account of Guagua and
Huahua.
“Thank you, Miss Wen. Old Madam had asked the butler to arrange for someone to send you a box of food early in the morning. I’ll go downstairs and bring it up for you now. No, bring that Guagua and Huahua up together.”
Without waiting for Wen Xin to speak, Mu Bei hurriedly walked out.
Wen Xin was stirring the coconut milk oatmeal with a spoon in one hand while her other hand was propped up on the table. She propped her chin up and looked at Mu Chengxi. “Are you guys calling Guagua a pig behind my back?”
Mu Chengxi thought Wen Xin would talk to him about Mu Bei’s problem, but she suddenly changed the topic to Guagua. He could not keep up with Wen Xin’s thoughts.
“What? Don’t you think it looks like a pig?” Mu Chengxi looked at Wen Xin and smiled dotingly. His voice was low and pleasant to the ears.
“It does look a little like a pig. When I left the Ancient Market Town, it wasn’t like this. I don’t know why it became so fat after half a year.”
Wen Xin could not understand it. She had been raising it for more than a year, but she had not grown into this state. In the end, after being raised by her neighbor for half a year, it had turned into a pig. Even the cat had become as fat as a ball.
“Are you going to the hospital to see Tan Xingyue today, or are you going to do something? I’m going out for a while to do something. If you’re free, do you want to come with me?”
“I don’t want to go. I have a medical thesis that I haven’t finished yet. I’m not going to visit Xingyue today. You can go do your own thing. Don’t worry about me. I can order takeout if I’m hungry at noon.”
Those old fellows from the medical organizations had been urging her to submit her thesis. If she finishes her thesis today, she should be able to rest for a while.
“Okay, call me if you need anything. I’ll go upstairs and change first.” Mu Chengxi stood up as he spoke. Wen Xin waved at Mu Chengxi impatiently, indicating that he should hurry up and do his own things.
Mu Bei brought Wen Xin’s two pets up from downstairs. He also handed Wen Xin the things that Old Madam Mu had asked the butler to send over. Then, he went out with Mu Chengxi.
Not long after Mu Chengxi left, there was a knock on the door. Wen Xin was refilling Huahua’s food and thought that Mu Chengxi had forgotten to bring his keys. She opened the door without any thinking.
Suddenly, she saw the flash of a black figure. Wen Xin sensed danger, and she dodged.
Just as she was about to attack, she suddenly felt a pain in her arm and felt everything became a blur…
