Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The car had just begun to move when Mu Chengxi swiftly opened the door and hopped into Wen Xin’s taxi. He moved so quickly that the driver did not have time to react.
“Sir, you—I’
“Sorry, my girlfriend and I had a quarrel. I’ll follow her request and head to the nearest hotel,” Mu Chengxi spoke lightly and gentlemanly. Sitting beside Wen Xin, he paid no heed to her resistance, extending his long arms to pull her into an embrace.
With his arms and legs restraining Wen Xin’s struggling movements, Mu Chengxi easily subdued her. Although Wen Xin’s strength was greater than the average person’s, it was not enough before Mu Chengxi.
He easily suppressed Wen Xin.
“I can explain. I have no feelings for her whatsoever. We both grew up in the Ou family and are quite familiar with each other. We can chat easily, but it’s merely a childhood friendship, nothing more,” Mu Chengxi stated as he relaxed his hold on Wen Xin to avoid hurting her.
Ever since he found out Wen Xin had left early, he had been anxious. Now that he could finally hold her, his complex emotions remained unsettled.
“Do you believe what I’m saying? I haven’t lied to you. If I had feelings for her, there wouldn’t be rumors in the capital that our family hopes for Wei Shisheng to marry into the Mu family.” Mu Chengxi explained earnestly.
The driver, who was driving, perked up at the mention of the Mu family. He had felt that these two were definitely not from ordinary families when they got into the car. However, he did not expect them to be people at the top of the pyramid.
Wen Xin noticed the change in the driver’s expression in the rearview mirror. Her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly. “Driver, could you please nod and take us back to where we just boarded? His car is there. We won’t go to the hotel. Take us home…”
“Of course, of course,” the driver hastily made a U-turn at the next intersection, taking Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi back to the research institute.
In the car, Wen Xin lazily leaned against Mu Chengxi’s chest. Mu Chengxi wanted to explain something, but Wen Xin pinched his hand and winked at him.
There was no need for the matter between them to become gossip in other people’s ears. It was not like she really did not want to be with Mu Chengxi.
He seemed to understand her intentions and lowered his head to gently kiss her forehead, no longer speaking.
With no gossip to eavesdrop on, the driver felt a bit disappointed as he glanced at the two in the rearview mirror. Unexpectedly, he met Wen Xin’s cold, pitch-black eyes. He was so frightened that his entire body trembled involuntarily.
The car returned to the entrance of the research institute, and Mu Chengxi got out of the taxi.
Waiting by the car, Jiang Linyan saw Mu Chengxi getting out of the car. She did not see Wen Xin. She felt ecstatic for a moment, ready to approach Mu Chengxi and talk.
However, her joy was short-lived as she saw Mu Chengxi lifting Wen Xin out of the car. Wen Xin was covered in Mu Chengxi’s coat, clearly showing how much Mu Chengxi cherished her.
Wen Xin’s slender arms hooked around Mu Chengxi’s neck as she nestled her head in the crook of his neck. Her black, bright eyes glanced briefly at Jiang Linyan standing by the car, then quickly looked away.
“That woman looks so jealous. I don’t believe you when you say you have no relationship with her,” Wen Xin said as she bit Mu Chengxi’s neck forcefully.
Feeling the pain on his neck, Mu Chengxi chuckled softly. “Young lady, she’ll just have to watch from the sidelines for the rest of her life. She has no chance.”
Supporting Wen Xin’s bottom with his large hand, Mu Chengxi gently patted her and softly reminded her, “Hold on tight as I open the car door for you.”
Wen Xin tightened her grip around Mu Chengxi’s neck, hanging onto him as he opened the passenger door and gently placed her in the seat.
“Chengxi…” Jiang Linyan’s voice was gentle as she called out from behind Mu Chengxi, “I’ve been waiting here for a long time and couldn’t get a taxi. Can I hitch a ride with you?”
“Sorry, my girlfriend is tired and needs to rest at home now. If you’re in a hurry, you can have someone from home come pick you up. If not, you’ll have to wait a bit longer,” Mu Chengxi said coldly as he covered Wen Xin’s legs with his coat.
Circling around, Mu Chengxi walked to the driver’s side, opened the door, and got in. He started the car and drove away without even sparing Jiang Linyan a glance.
In the car, Wen Xin lazily rested her cheek on her hand, watching Mu Chengxi’s profile. A hint of shrewdness flickered in her black, bright eyes as if she was plotting something.
“What do you want to eat? Zhuge Jingming said you only had some sandwiches for lunch before going into the operating room.”
Hearing Mu Chengxi mention Zhuge Jingming, she remembered that she hadn’t seen him when she left. Apparently, Zhuge Jingming had called Mu Chengxi, and he had left on his own.
“I’m tired. Just go home and eat something casual…” Wen Xin responded indifferently to Mu Chengxi’s words, her gaze falling on the dried bloodstains on Mu Chengxi’s hand, wondering if she had been too harsh.
Mu Chengxi took out a few pieces of chocolate from the side and placed them in Wen Xin’s hand. “Have a couple of chocolates first. I’ll cook for you when we get home.”
Wen Xin looked at the chocolates in her palm and chuckled softly. “Is our quarrel over now?”
“Isn’t it over? I’ve already explained to you. I really have nothing to do with her. She left the country when she was fifteen or sixteen. Our interaction has been very limited, almost nonexistent. Our encounter at Beijing University this time was purely coincidental,” Mu Chengxi said as he drove the car into the underground parking lot of the residential area and parked in his parking space.
He unfastened his and Wen Xin’s seatbelts, pulled Wen Xin into his arms, and looked at her with firm and serious eyes.
“Little ancestor, I’ve given you everything in my life—my first feelings, my first act of kindness towards a woman, my first time coaxing a woman, my first…” “Stop!” Wen Xin had already guessed what Mu Chengxi wanted to say. She pressed her finger against Mu Chengxi’s thin lips. Only he could say such embarrassing words without changing his expression.
“That’s enough. I believe you. I can’t outdo you in shamelessness. You’re really something, ” Wen Xin admitted defeat in the shamelessness department. She felt that Mu Chengxi could say anything shameless.
“So, are we… still arguing?” Mu Chengxi raised an eyebrow, looking at Wen Xin, whose ears were already turning red. He wished he could just eat this little girl up.
“No more arguing. I’m too tired. Carry me back for a shower and rest!”
After the anger in her heart dissipated, Wen Xin seemed to lose all her strength. She slumped in Mu Chengxi’s arms, unwilling to move..
