Luxury cars began to leave the parking lot one after another. Liang Luoyu looked at the people lying on the ground, lit a cigarette with a suave gesture, and took a drag. “The two bosses have given you face this time. Take care of it properly; there won’t be any issues!”
They were Mu Chengxi’s men, accustomed to the ruthless side of the bosses. This was the best outcome.
From the car to Tianxiang Pavilion, Mu Chengxu was holding Wen Xin’s hand, asking about her condition all the while. Wen Xin, without showing any signs of annoyance, engaged in light conversation with Mu Chengxu.
“Sister Xin…” As Wen Xin, led by Mu Chengxu, reached the outside of the Tianxiang Pavilion’s private room, she heard a crisp voice followed by the sound of giggling behind her.
Wen Xin stopped, turned her head, and saw Ling Xu’er running towards her, a big smile on her lips.
“Sister Xin, you’ve finally come to the capital.”
Ling Xu’er approached Wen Xin, knowing her dislike for overly affectionate gestures, and stood in front of Wen Xin, smiling sweetly at her.
“Good girl.” Wen Xin raised her hand to gently ruffle Ling Xu’er’s hair, her injuries catching Ling Xu’er’s attention.
“Sister Xin, your hand is injured.” Ling Xu’er caught Wen Xin’s hand, surprised to see bruises and cuts on the back of her fair hand.
“It’s nothing, just some scrapes. Let’s go inside,” Wen Xin said, taking Ling Xu’er’s hand and leading her into the private room.
Only then did Ling Xu’er notice Mu Chengxu. She looked at him, her body freezing for a moment, just as she caught Mu Chengxu looking back at her.
“Auntie,” Ling Xu’er said to Mu Chengxu, somewhat reluctantly.
After not seeing Ling Xu’er show such emotions for a long time, Nan Xu immediately came out from the crowd, took Ling Xu’er’s hand, and whispered something in her ear.
Entering the private room, Wen Xin casually sat on the sofa. She glanced around, surprised not to see Mu Chengxi, whom she remembered getting off the car with.
“Miss Wen, are you looking for Master Xi? I saw him in the hallway talking to the manager of Tianxiang Pavilion. He should be coming in soon,” Sun Yue, standing aside, hurriedly said upon noticing Wen Xin’s searching gaze. “Thank you,” Wen Xin replied, turning her head to thank him with a gentle tone.
Then, Mu Chengxi entered, holding disinfectant alcohol and a pack of cotton swabs, and sat beside Wen Xin.
“Let me disinfect that for you.” His expression was still frighteningly grim, but his tone was incredibly gentle towards Wen Xin.
Wen Xin obediently extended her hand to Mu Chengxi, who frowned more deeply at the sight of her wounds, his gaze turning colder.
“You look so serious, it’s a bit scary.” Wen Xin had seen this severe side of Mu Chengxi before, but for such a trivial matter, she felt it was unnecessary, believing she wasn’t in any real danger.
“Next time, no matter where you go, have someone with you. I won’t allow this to happen again.”
After disinfecting Wen Xin’s wounds, Mu Chengxi held her hand in his, turning to look at her earnestly, “I’ve said it many times, Mu Dong and the others are well-paid. You don’t need to protect yourself. Let them act as your bodyguards.’
Wen Xin looked at Mu Chengxi, feeling somewhat helpless, and eventually conceded, “Alright, next time I’ll have someone with me, okay?” She felt that Mu Chengxi was making a mountain out of a molehill. However, when she thought about it from another perspective, Mu Chengxi did this because he was worried about her.
Sitting nearby, Nan Xu sent a WeChat message to Chu Yunxuan, informing her of Wen Xin’s compromise. Chu Yunxuan, seemingly unsurprised, replied to Nan xu.
‘ I’ve seen it too many times. Mu Chengxi is the biggest surprise in Wen Xin’s life.
After dinner, Mu Chengxu still wanted to talk to Wen Xin about something, while Ling Xu’er looked at Wen Xin expectantly. This made Mu Chengxi somewhat irritable.
Mu Chengxi possessively pulled Wen Xin into his arms, his gaze coldly sweeping over the two men who seemed to vie for her attention.
“Sun Yue, take my sister back to the old house. Ling Yichen, take Ling Xu’er home. It’s getting late; the child should go to sleep.”
Without giving them a chance to argue, Mu Chengxi, keys in hand and carrying Wen Xin’s backpack, left Tianxiang Pavilion with her.
Watching Mu Chengxi domineeringly leave with Wen Xin, everyone sighed in unison, marveling at how the prince of the capital, once fallen in love, could become so clingy.
“Miss, I’ll take you home,” Sun Yue said, feeling honored to escort Mu Chengxu home, eagerly approaching Mu Chengxi’s side.
“Just wait a bit longer. Does anyone know how Mu Chengxi and Wen Xin met? I asked Liang Luoyu, but he wouldn’t say a word. So boring.”
Hearing Mu Chengxu’s question, everyone exchanged looks, eventually shaking their heads. “Eldest Miss, aside from Liang Luoyu and his circle, how could we possibly know? This is only the second time Master Xi has introduced Miss Wen to us. We wouldn’t have any chance to know about Master Xi’s romantic history.”
Feeling a bit let down that they truly didn’t know, Mu Chengxu sighed, wishing she could share the story of Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi with her grandmother to satisfy her curiosity.
“Well, then I’ll head back first. You all continue to have fun.” Mu Chengxu put away her gossipy expression, returning to her dignified and elegant self, and left the private room with a mix of arrogance and grace.
After leaving Tianxiang Pavilion, Mu Chengxi and Wen Xin didn’t hurry off. As soon as they got into the car, Mu Chengxi hugged Wen Xin and kissed her passionately, as if only this could calm his restless heart.
After leaving Wen Xin breathless from the kiss, he held her hand against his chest.
“My heart can’t take the shocks you bring. Today, when I heard you were in trouble, I wanted to kill Gu Yanzhe.”
Wen Xin gently pinched Mu Chengxi’s ear, smiling softly. “It’s not Gu Yanzhe’s fault. I went to Tianye Technology to sort some things out and ran into Gu Xiang. She was convinced I got the job through backdoor hiring and wanted to make a scene. I turned the tables on her, and she held a grudge, looking for people to retaliate against me.”
“I’m not telling you this to have you deal with Gu Yanzhe, but to give you face..
Remember, you owe me one now!”
