Wen Xin looked at Zhao Yuyao and nodded slightly. She didn’t mention to Zhao Yuyao that she planned to stay overnight with Tan Xingyue at the hotel. Instead, she lazily waved her hand at Zhao Yuyao, indicating for him to go up first.
“Also, today, the Wei family’s housekeeper found Mu Chengxi and wanted him to talk to you, to bring you back to the Wei family. However, Mu Chengxi refused. He said that if there’s anything, you should discuss it with Youngest Aunt. You’re younger and don’t need to involve yourself in adult matters.”
Mu Chengxi didn’t want to put Zhao Yuyao in a difficult position, so there were some things that simply didn’t need to bother him.
Upon hearing that Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi were considering his feelings, Zhao Yuyao’s restless feelings completely disappeared, and he immediately reverted to his innocent, boyish demeanor.
“Little Aunt, there’s nothing else. I’m heading upstairs now. Our flight is in the morning. If you’re busy, you don’t need to come to see me off. Ling Xu’er said her family will arrange for us to be taken to the airport.”
After Zhao Yuyao left, the Wei family butler approached from the side. Wen Xin gave the butler a faint glance.
“Butler Wei, he’s still a child. What he did today was already at his limit. I hope Grandfather won’t make things difficult for him anymore.”
Wen Xin sat up straight and poured a cup of tea for the butler, her tone calm and neutral, devoid of any emotion.
“Miss Wen’s reminder is valid. Indeed, the Young Master should not be troubled over this matter. I’ll explain it to the Old Master when I return home. Actually, the Old Master has always been concerned about Third Miss, but unfortunately, Third Miss’ temperament is too stubborn. There’s nothing we can do…”
The butler looked at Wen Xin, his voice low as he grumbled. He had followed closely beside Old Master Wei for a long time and could tell that Old Master Wei
was truly happy today.
“Butler, it’s getting late. You should go back and inform Grandfather. Uncle Zhao should come to Beijing to report on his work next month… You understand what I mean, right?”
Wen Xin didn’t want to meddle in Wei family affairs, but for the sake of the old man’s face, she still revealed a little information, allowing him to consider how to handle this matter on his own.
“Thank you, Miss Wen. Miss Wen, do you need me to escort you home? It’s late, and you going home alone, wouldn’t Seventh Young Master worry?”
The butler was a very tactful person. Given that Wen Xin provided him with information, he naturally wouldn’t let Wen Xin go home alone. At the very least, he should politely inquire.
“No need. Thank you for your kind offer, Butler Wei. You probably noticed earlier that some of my female classmates are also in this hotel. I won’t be going home tonight. I’ll arrange to send them to the airport tomorrow. Butler Wei, please go back first.”
Although Wen Xin had a cold personality, she still maintained the necessary politeness. Out of respect for Mu Chengxi, she showed some deference to the Wei family butler.
“Then, Miss Wen, rest early. We’ll take our leave.”
Watching the Wei family butler leave, Wen Xin took the elevator upstairs and entered Tan Xingyue’s room.
At this time, Tan Xingyue had finished washing up and was lying in bed, video chatting with her grandmother. When her grandmother saw Wen Xin, her eyes brightened, and she smiled kindly at Wen Xin, waving her hand.
“Xingyue said you have exams in a week. Are you preparing to go to university?
Will you study medicine or music?”
“Neither. I’m going to the Physics Department to fulfill the dreams that my father and Uncle Tan didn’t fulfill.” Wen Xin looked at Yang Jingyan’s healthy complexion and felt that she was in good condition at the moment.
Hearing Wen Xin’s answer, Jingyan’s dim eyes flashed with a hint of worry. “Xinxin, that major is too dangerous. Think carefully about it. It’s better for girls to study medicine, especially with your medical skills. Without you, Grandma might have…”
“Grandma, don’t say that. You will definitely see Xingyue get married. You need to take care of yourself!”
Wen Xin didn’t like to hear Yang Jingyan’s words. Even though she knew Jingyan’s health was at its limit, she hoped Jingyan would live well.
“Xinxin, Grandma just hopes you and Xingyue will be safe and sound, living an ordinary life. There’s no need to…” Yang Jingyan’s voice trailed off, her experience of seeing loved ones depart weighing heavily on her, understanding the true dangers involved.
“Grandma, don’t worry. We will be fine. You don’t need to worry.” Wen Xin smiled at Yang Jingyan and then gently rubbed Tan Xingyue’s head. “You continue chatting with Grandma. I’ll go take a shower and then check your arm.”
“Okay…” Tan Xingyue sweetly replied and resumed chatting with Yang Jingyan, diverting her attention.
When Wen Xin came out of the shower, Tan Xingyue had already hung up. She sat on the bed, watching Wen Xin walk out of the bathroom.
Wen Xin had slept in the same bed with Tan Xingyue since she was little. She climbed onto the bed and pinched Tan Xingyue’s cheek. “Hmm, it seems like Liang Luoyu has been taking good care of you. Your cheeks are plumper now!”
“No way, I always thought those deliveries were from you… If I had known it was him…”
Tan Xingyue paused here, and Wen Xin squinted at her, waiting for her to continue.
“Oh, you… I don’t know!”
Tan Xingyue’s cheeks turned crimson, and she dared not look into Wen Xin’s eyes. She wasn’t deliberately hiding it from Wen Xin. In fact, she didn’t understand why Liang Luoyu was so good to her either.
Seeing Tan Xingyue’s bashful look, Wen Xin lifted her legs slightly and rested her arms on her knees, her movements lazy.
“I don’t quite understand Liang Luoyu’s intentions towards you either. Just control your feelings, and don’t let him lead you astray. Focus on studying for now. We can discuss other matters when you’re older…”
Wen Xin raised her hand and flicked the stray hair away from Tan Xingyue’s forehead. She didn’t know how to talk to Tan Xingyue about this matter, considering Liang Luoyu’s ambiguous attitude of being proactive yet not confessing. In matters of love, she was clueless too.
Tan Xingyue looked at Wen Xin, who suddenly became serious, and couldn’t help but chuckle. She held Wen Xin’s hand. “Don’t worry about me. There are some things I understand too. I won’t let myself get hurt.”
Wen Xin suddenly looked up at Tan Xingyue. It seemed she was too worried about her, thinking that she was the same as herself and not good at relationships…
In fact, Tan Xingyue had already grown up when she wasn’t paying attention.
Wen Xin reached out and hugged Tan Xingyue, leaning against Tan Xingyue’s ear and speaking softly, “There’s still half a year. Think about what you want to study and where you want to go. I’ll support you in everything!”
In the blink of an eye, the pitiful little girl who used to hide behind her for protection had grown up. She was very happy, feeling that bringing Tan Xingyue to Ice City for school was the right decision.
The next morning, Wen Xin rode in Ling Yichen’s car and sent the students from Class 20 to the airport. On the way, Ling Yichen expressed his gratitude to Wen Xin and also mentioned the arrangements for Alfredo to apologize to the Ling family. Wen Xin just responded lightly..
