At Wei Manqing’s suggestion, Wen Xin quickly stood up and pulled Mu Chengxu to sit in her spot, “Sister, you take my place. I’m going to sit on the sofa for a bit; I’m really too sleepy!”
“You should go sleep in the guest room next to Grandma’s bedroom. I’ll ask Auntie Fu to prepare it for you,” said Mu Chengxu, about to stand up to find Auntie Fu to arrange a room for Wen Xin.
“There’s no need for all that trouble. I’ll just rest here for a bit,” Wen Xin replied lightly, pointing to the sofa. She genuinely didn’t want to cause any inconvenience.
Seeing that Wen Xin preferred not to go upstairs, Mu Chengxu didn’t insist further and sat back down at the card table, occasionally glancing at Wen Xin on the sofa.
Wen Xin dozed off on the sofa until the vibration of her phone in her pocket woke her up. She took out her phone; it was a message from Tan Xingyue.
Reading the message, Wen Xin instantly became alert, her sleepiness gone.
Wen Xin stood up, phone in hand, and walked out of the living room.
“What’s she going to do?” Wei Manqing heard the noise from Wen Xin’s direction and asked curiously, worried Wen Xin might catch a cold as she had just woken up and it was cold outside.
“Probably going to make a call? I’ll go check…” said Mu Chengxu, standing up and heading outside.
When Mu Chengxu reached the door, she saw Wen Xin in the corridor making a call, so she turned to go back in.
Wen Xin called Tan Xingyue, who answered quickly, sounding super excited.
“Xinxin, I’ve arrived in Beijing. Don’t worry. Liang Luoyu came to pick us up, along with Wen Huai, Ling Xu’er, and Zhao Yuyao. It’s just the three of us.
Liang Luoyu has already booked a hotel for us, so you don’t need to rush over. We’ll see each other tonight.”
“Okay, then you guys explore first. Let Liang Luoyu show you around. I’ll come back later.”
After chatting with Tan Xingyue for a while, Wen Xin hung up and walked back into the living room.
She might have stood outside for a bit too long. As she walked back into the warm living room, she felt more comfortable.
“Little Xinxin, is something up?” Mu Chengxu saw Wen Xin come in from outside and asked with concern. With Mu Chengxi not at home, she naturally wanted to take good care of Wen Xin.
“I want to check on Grandma’s health. I wonder if she’s woken up yet.”
Wen Xin had brought some new pills made by Zhuge Jingming with her today, wanting to check on Old Madam Mu’s health condition.
“I’m awake, I’m awake!”
Hearing Wen Xin wanted to check her health, Old Madam Mu, walking down the stairs, quickly responded.
Wen Xin quickly walked to Old Madam Mu’s side, helping her down the stairs with Auntie Fu.
“Grandma, sit down. I’ll take your pulse.”
Wen Xin sat beside Old Madam Mu, her slender fingers placed on Old Madam Mu’s wrist, feeling the strong and steady pulse.
Five minutes later, Wen Xin withdrew her hand and observed Old Madam Mu’s complexion.
“Grandma, you’ve been maintaining yourself very well. There are no signs of relapse, which shows that Master Zhuge’s medical skills are indeed commendable. I brought some small pills today; taking one every half a month is enough, or you can take one whenever you feel unwell.”
As Wen Xin spoke, she glanced at the butler, who immediately understood her and quickly found a medicine box brought by Mu Chengxi.
There were 12 exquisitely packaged pills neatly placed inside. They looked very expensive.
Seeing the packaging for the first time herself, Wen Xin unconsciously frowned but couldn’t articulate her discomfort, acknowledging that the preciousness of the pills deserved such packaging.
“Auntie Fu, please keep this for Grandma. Starting tomorrow, taking one before bed will yield the best effects,” Wen Xin instructed, her unique voice calm and collected. Those already familiar with Wen Xin’s tone knew that this was the tone she carried when she was in a good mood.
Auntie Fu took the gift box from the butler and placed it in Old Madam Mu’s room upstairs.
“Little Xinxin, come sit!” Old Madam Mu, pulling Wen Xin’s slightly cold hands, invited her to sit beside her.
As Wen Xin sat, she felt something warm in her palm. Looking up in confusion at Old Madam Mu, a subtle wink and a gentle smile from the older woman conveyed her intentions. Before Wen Xin could refuse, Old Madam Mu slipped the item into her coat pocket and only then released her hand.
“It’s quite lively here…”
At that moment, Mu Jinyan and Mu Jingdong entered, followed by Mu Chengxi and Sixth Uncle. They were all murmuring about something but their voices were so low that no one heard what they were talking about.
Mu Chengxi approached Wen Xin, not bothering with the card game, and sat behind her, naturally wrapping his arm around her slender waist.
“Grandma, we’re taking Wen Xin back to the city. Her friends and brother have come from Ice City for her birthday, so we won’t stay long,” Mu Chengxi announced, holding Wen Xin’s hand and searching her face for a reaction. He realized that Wen Xin was not as surprised as he had imagined. Could it be that she already knew?
“You knew they were coming?” Mu Chengxi asked, gazing down at Wen Xin, who leaned against him lazily.
“Yeah, Tan Xingyue called me just now,”
When Tan Xingyue was on the phone, Wen Xin realized that Tan Xingyue was speaking in a mysterious manner. She did not need to guess to know that Liang Luoyu must have prevented Tan Xingyue from telling her that they were coming.
With Liang Luoyu’s low IQ, Wen Xin felt that he must not have taken his medicine properly. Otherwise, he would not be so silly.
Hearing Wen Xin’s response, Mu Chengxi sighed, resigned to Liang Luoyu’s unreliability.
“Are you guys having a party tonight? Can I join?” Mu Chengxu, eager to partake in Wen Xin’s birthday celebration, promptly substituted herself with Mu Jingdong at the card table, “Fifth Uncle, take my place. I’ll go discuss this with them.”
After some convincing, Mu Chengxi agreed to take Mu Chengxu to Wen Xin’s birthday dinner, under the condition that she bring her chauffeur and arrange her own transportation back.
Mu Chengxu, through her persistent efforts, secured her attendance at the celebration.
However, as Mu Chengxu prepared herself and dressed up, Mu Chengxi left the old house with Wen Xin, leaving behind only the name of a hotel for her..
