Chapter 722: Chapter 421 Wen Xin’s Unique Way of Caring
Wen Xin had been pondering these past few days about how to deal with matters of the ancient martial arts family. If it was as Qian Meng said, avoiding them seemed truly heartbreaking, so it might be better to meet after all, since an explanation was owed to those people.
“Mm, I’ll accompany you…” Mu Chengxi looked at Wen Xin, his gaze inadvertently revealing a touch of tenderness, always giving Wen Xin a spoiling sensation.
When Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi left the hotel, they attracted the attention of many people—numerous foreigners couldn’t help but marvel at the exceptionally high attractiveness of both Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi.
“Brother, buy a bouquet of flowers for your sister…” As the two of them stood by the roadside waiting for a car, a little girl came running from not far away, carrying a basket of roses.
“Little girl, how much for a bunch of roses?”
“Ten yuan per stem, a bunch for 60 yuan. Handsome brother, would you like to buy a bunch for your beautiful sister?” The little girl blinked her moist, large eyes, with an innocent expression looking up at Mu Chengxi.
Mu Chengxi looked at the quiet little girl who ran over, gently bent down, and reached out to take the basket of flowers she was holding, “Give me all the roses…”
Just when the little girl was about to hand all the roses to Mu Chengxi, Wen Xintong pulled out a bunch from within and spoke to the little girl with a cool tone, “Just one bunch will suffice for me.”
Just a moment ago, the little girl looked at Mu Chengxi excitedly, but the next second, after Wen Xin spoke such cold words, her face instantly fell, looking at Wen Xin pitifully.
She didn’t understand why Wen Xin refused to buy all her flowers, since they did not seem like people short of money.
Wen Xin stuffed the flowers in her hand into Mu Chengxi’s hands, took the wallet he had just pulled out, and from it retrieved a bill of almost the same denomination and casually threw it into the little girl’s flower basket.
At the same time, Wen Xin bent down, and unnoticed by everyone around, she slipped several bills into the little girl’s shoes.
The moment Wen Xin stood up, she winked at the little girl.
The little girl was very clever; she instantly understood what Wen Xin meant. She smiled politely at Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi before picking up her flower basket and leaving.
After the little girl left, Mu Chengxi placed the roses he bought from the girl into Wen Xin’s hands, while also taking back the wallet Wen Xin handed to him.
“Why did you do that…”
“There’s someone behind this little girl, using sympathy to make money. The more you buy, the harder it is for the little girl, and it doesn’t solve the problem of her having to come out and sell flowers again. It’s better to give her some money secretly, so that she can at least have something for herself.”
Wen Xin looked in the direction of the little girl and smiled faintly. She had encountered little girls like this before, as there were many in M Continent. She had wanted to rescue them.
But she later realized how naive her thoughts were. She could save some, but not all. Within the scope of her influence, as long as those people treated the flower-selling girls well, she would not intervene in the matter.
In P City, she similarly wouldn’t get involved, after all, she had no right to do so.
Mu Chengxi held Wen Xin’s hand, took out a wet wipe from his pocket, and gently wiped the palm of her hand.
“Your concern is always so pure, and while it might not be acceptable to some, you always try to do your best for that person.”
Just like how Wen Xin coldly refused the little girl’s flowers just now, yet left money on the girl’s person that was worth several times more than the cost of the roses—that was the kindness unique to Wen Xin.
Wen Xin watched the approaching taxi from afar, waved her hand, flagged down the cab, and then pulled Mu Chengxi into the taxi.
She casually told the driver an address and leaned against Mu Chengxi to start playing a game on her phone. It had been a long time since she had such a leisurely day. The daily hustle and bustle made Wen Xin feel as though life had lost its fun.
Mu Chengxi watched Wen Xin’s fierce gameplay and unconsciously furrowed his brow. Such an arrogant and ruthless girl—sure enough, she was the same in the game as she was in real life, leaving no room or path for retreat, striking fiercely and ruthlessly.
In the end, Mu Chengxi squinted at the character on Wen Xin’s phone surviving with slivers of health, and he couldn’t help but raise his eyes to look at her. He thought the character in the game was just too similar to Wen Xin—leaving no room for herself, yet able to escape with confidence on a sliver of health.
That must be the trust in oneself and the affirmation of one’s own abilities.
Three minutes later, Wen Xin scored a Pentakill, and the game ended…
“Where are you taking me?” Mu Chengxi was not visiting P City for the first time, but this place was new to him, and he felt somewhat unfamiliar with it.
“Taking you to eat. The steaks here are really delicious,” Wen Xin replied to Mu Chengxi’s question with an easygoing tone.
However, the taxi driver gave Wen Xin a meaningful look, his eyes carrying a trace of mockery. He thought Wen Xin was just a naive young girl who didn’t realize where she had ended up.
The driver stopped outside the western restaurant Wen Xin had mentioned. After Wen Xin paid the fare, she got out of the taxi with Mu Chengxi, allowing him to hold her hand as they walked towards the restaurant.
As soon as Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi approached the entrance of the western restaurant, they were stopped by a doorman stationed outside.
“I’m sorry, sir and miss, our restaurant is membership-only. Please show your membership card, otherwise…”
Before the doorman could finish speaking, Wen Xin pulled out a black card with gold embossing from the pocket of her jeans, pinching it between two fingers, and waved it in front of the doorman.
“Miss…” the doorman said, shocked as he looked at the black gold card in Wen Xin’s hand. Since the restaurant’s opening, he had only seen three people holding such a black gold card, and Wen Xin was one of them.
“I wonder if this card will allow me entry…”
“Of course, of course, definitely. Miss, please follow me…”
The doorman immediately put on a flattering smile and enthusiastically led Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi into the western restaurant, arranging them in a booth that looked very luxurious.
Wen Xin looked around the booth with satisfaction, nodded her approval, took the menu handed to her by the server, and passed it to Mu Chengxi.
“You order. Every steak is delicious in this place.”
Wen Xin sat casually in her chair, her whole body languidly leaning back, her gaze lightly resting on the scenery outside the window…
Mu Chengxi stared at Wen Xin’s profile for a long time before drawing back his gaze and looking at the menu. He ordered two steaks, a salad, and some desserts that Wen Xin liked to eat…
After ordering, Mu Chengxi handed the menu back to the server nonchalantly, and the server took the menu and left the booth.
“What made you want to bring me to this place to eat?”
