Chapter 624: Completely Unaffected by the Tricks
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Mu Chengxi tried to persuade Mu Chengxu, as he didn’t dare to go against Wen Xin’s orders. Mu Chengxu didn’t have the same constraints and he was hoping she might be able to convince Wen Xin.
“No way! Wen Xin has her reasons for her decisions. You just come home with me. There are more people at home to take care of you. If you go back to the apartment, Wen Xin will have to juggle school and take care of you. It’s too much. Come back to the old house to recover.”
Mu Chengxu firmly rejected Mu Chengxi’s idea. She stood up, pushed Mu Chengxi’s wheelchair, and led him out of the café.
In Mu Bei’s car, Wen Xin noticed Mu Bei glancing at her repeatedly through the rearview mirror, which irritated her.
“What’s with the sneaky looks? If you have something to say, just say it!”
Caught by Wen Xin, Mu Bei felt awkward. He rubbed his nose and hesitated before speaking slowly.
“Miss Wen, what exactly happened to Master Xi? How did he end up in the Independent State?”
Mu Bei, clueless about Mu Chengxi’s injuries, was curious about how things turned out this way.
“The Jason family coveted Mu Chengxi’s mines and resources in Continent F. They drugged him on the plane and took him to the Independent State. Your Master Xi resisted well, so the Jason family failed. If he had given in, Continent F would belong to the Jason family now.”
Wen Xin answered in a soft voice, her eyes closed. She had a headache and was feeling irritable.
Seeing Wen Xin’s discomfort through the mirror, Mu Bei wisely shut his mouth and drove more smoothly to let Wen Xin rest.
When the car stopped at Nan Xu’s hospital, Wen Xin opened her eyes quickly, a dangerous glint flashing in her dark eyes. A few seconds later, she closed her eyes again, and when she reopened them, her eyes were bright again.
“Miss Wen, we’ve arrived at the hospital.”
“Okay, go park the car. No need to come upstairs.” Wen Xin got out of the car and walked quickly into the hospital.
Inside the building where Tan Xingyue was, Wen Xin saw Ling Yichen sitting in the hallway. He stood up and greeted her.
“You’re back. Nan Xu is inside. Tan Xingyue is awake.”
“Thank you for today. In the future…” Wen Xin started to thank Ling Yichen sincerely, but he raised his hand to interrupt.
“No need for formalities. You helped Xu’er, and we haven’t even thanked you properly. Nan Xu and I owe you. This is nothing. Go check on Tan Xingyue. Nan Xu said she’s doing well.”
Ling Yichen’s gentle gaze was reminiscent of their first meeting, embodying the calm and refined demeanor associated with someone like him.
Wen Xin pushed open the door to find Tan Xingyue sitting on the sofa, eating. She seemed in good spirits.
Seeing Wen Xin, Tan Xingyue’s face lit up with a smile. “Wen Xin, you’re back!”
“Yes, but it’s late. Don’t eat too much or you won’t sleep well.” Wen Xin’s tone was soft.
“Okay, I’ll finish this and stop. Come sit down!”
Feeling a bit awkward under Nan Xu and Chu Yunxuan’s concerned gazes, Tan Xingyue tried to hide her discomfort by inviting Wen Xin to sit.
Wen Xin turned to Nan Xu and Chu Yunxuan. “Ling Yichen is waiting for you outside, Nan Xu. You should go. Chu Yunxuan, you should also rest after the long journey. Take a nice bath and relax.”
Chu Yunxuan understood Wen Xin’s intent, stretched lazily, and smiled. “Alright, I’ll go. Call me if you need anything.”
“Okay, take care.”
After they left, Wen Xin closed the door, gently patted Tan Xingyue’s head, and sat beside her.
“No need to pretend with me. Were you scared today? What happened? Why didn’t you call me? Didn’t I tell you to contact me if anything happened at the training base?”
Tan Xingyue’s emotions burst forth. She dropped her chopsticks, hugged Wen Xin’s waist, and started crying.
“I was so scared…”
“Alright, cry it out. Tell me when you’re ready.”
Wen Xin let Tan Xingyue cry, gently stroking her hair, believing that letting out her emotions would help Tan Xingyue recover.
Twenty minutes later, Tan Xingyue calmed down. Wen Xin handed her a warm towel to wipe her face and sat opposite her, waiting for an explanation.
After the incident, Ou Jinzhi had shown Tan Xingyue the video of her accidentally hurting Jiang Linfei. Realizing her mistake, she apologized to Jiang Linfei that night but didn’t expect what happened the next day.
Wen Xin understood the situation. Her beautiful eyes narrowed. She was very protective, and this issue wouldn’t be easily resolved.
Although the incident started with Tan Xingyue’s accidental mistake, she apologized, and Jiang Linfei hit her back. If it had ended there, Wen Xin wouldn’t have bothered with the Jiang family.
However, things had changed. Since Jiang Desheng wanted to involve himself, he would need a lesson.
At that moment, the door opened, and Wen Xin saw Liang Luoyu rushing in. She raised an eyebrow.
“You’re back quickly. Is everything settled in Continent F?”
“Yes, Gu Yanzhe is handling it now. The situation is stable and doesn’t need too many people there.”
Although talking to Wen Xin, Liang Luoyu’s gaze was fixed on Tan Xingyue, filled with concern.
Wen Xin’s temple throbbed. She looked at Tan Xingyue and gently asked, “Can he stay with you?”
Seeing Wen Xin’s fatigue, Tan Xingyue hesitated but then nodded. “Yes, I’m fine. I can probably go home tomorrow.”
