Chapter 731: Chapter 730: Is Master Xi here to pick up the little princess to return to Beijing?
Just now, Wen Xin heard someone urging Mu Chengxi over the phone to go back, but at the moment, he didn’t seem to have any plans to leave…
Mu Chengxi picked up a piece of steak with his chopsticks and placed it on Wen Xin’s plate, then slowly lifted his head to look at her, his profound eyes shimmering with a soft tenderness.
“Look at you, if you’re willing to go to F State with me, I can stay here with you for two days, but if you want to go straight back to Beijing, then I’ll accompany you and head back to F State after two days,”
“You mean, you’re planning to leave after two days no matter what?” Wen Xin looked at Mu Chengxi’s gaze and gently smiled, she had already understood his intention that Mu Chengxi would not leave for the next two days and would stay here with her.
“You could say that, I’m not very comfortable leaving you here on your own.”
Mu Chengxi looked at Wen Xin frankly as if he was about to outright say that he was staying to cut off all the unwanted suitors lingering around her.
“Alright then, I’ll wrap things up here as soon as possible to accompany you to F State.” In the end, Wen Xin could only acquiesce under Mu Chengxi’s gaze.
“Hey, you two are up early,” Sun Ning called out as he approached Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi’s table with his hair in disarray, not hesitating at all to start eating the food on the table.
“You certainly make yourself at home.” Wen Xin looked at Sun Ning’s actions and snorted coldly, then remembering why she had ended up being tormented by Mu Chengxi the night before, she put down her cutlery, leaned back in her seat, and gazed unhappily at Sun Ning.
“What did you have in mind bringing Luo Qiete to see me yesterday?”
When Sun Ning heard Wen Xin mention Luo Qiete, he was slightly stunned at first; it took him a moment to remember what Luo Qiete had wanted from Wen Xin yesterday.
“He said he wanted to thank you in person, and he wanted to know about his mother’s follow-up treatment. His mother is recovering very well and can now speak.”
“Is she able to recognize people now?”
Wen Xin was somewhat surprised at the recovery ability of Luo Qiete’s mother, You Su. According to her estimation, his mother should still be in the process of recovery, being able to speak was something she had not anticipated.
Thinking that Luo Qiete’s mother could now speak, Wen Xin had a sudden urge to learn something about the Independent State from her. However, Wen Xin didn’t dare to get her too excited.
Wen Xin had heard Luo Qiete talk about his own background; she believed You Su must know a lot about the inner workings of the Independent State, including the cause of her husband’s death, and who it was that helped them hide their identities, escaping the Independent State’s pursuit…
With so many doubts weighing on her mind, Wen Xin had an urgent desire to know more. But she knew she couldn’t risk upsetting someone who had just undergone brain surgery, as it could cause immediate paralysis.
Sun Ning lifted his head and looked at Wen Xin, who seemed lost in thought, then turned to look at Mu Chengxi, “Are you here to take the little princess back to Beijing?”
“It’s not decided when we’ll go back yet. Can you handle things here by yourself?” Mu Chengxi did want to take Wen Xin away, but if she was needed here, he couldn’t possibly take her away by force, considering that Wen Xin was here to fulfill her work responsibilities.
“I can handle it. The patient’s condition has stabilized, and with the research institute’s people around, I don’t really need to stay. But I like to finish what I start, so I want to wait a bit longer until the patient’s condition is clearer before leaving.”
As Sun Ning spoke, he ate his breakfast. Actually, he wanted to say that if Wen Xin didn’t wish to return to the country, he’d like to head back earlier since there were many matters to attend to at the research institute. This time, he had only come out seeking the divine doctor and hadn’t expected to be conscripted into service.
“Then you should stay here for a period of treatment, and when she can complete the first phase of recovery, you can leave. I’m going to Independent State with Mu Chengxi this afternoon; I won’t visit the hospital today!”
After speaking, Wen Xin stood up and left the hotel’s restaurant directly. Mu Chengxi watched Wen Xin’s retreating figure and did not hesitate to stand and chase after her.
Meanwhile, Sun Ning was utterly perplexed as he watched Wen Xin. He didn’t know what he had done wrong to upset the little princess, and it seemed to be because of him that the little princess suddenly wanted to leave…
This… who could tell her what had happened?
Back in the room, Mu Chengxi hugged Wen Xin tightly from behind and soothed her somewhat irritated mood with a gentle voice.
“What’s made you suddenly so restless? What happened?”
“When I heard that Luo Qiete’s mother was getting better, I had a lot of questions I wanted to ask her, but now is not the right time, so I’m a bit restless.”
Wen Xin turned around in Mu Chengxi’s arms, hugged his waist, and rested her head on his chest. Listening to Mu Chengxi’s rhythmic heartbeat, her heart was filled with complexity and turmoil.
“Then let’s wait a bit longer, wait until you feel the time is right, and we can come back to find the answers. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. Things from the past don’t necessarily need to be pursued for the truth so fervently.”
“When you have absolute strength, all the answers will present themselves to you, and then it will be your time for revenge.”
Mu Chengxi’s hand gently caressed Wen Xin’s back, attempting to soothe her restless mood with his actions. He didn’t care what others were like; he only cared that Wen Xin wasn’t disturbed by these troubles.
“Let’s go to Independent State. Staying here will only make us want to search for the truth…”
“Ding dong dong” As they spoke, a very chaotic knocking sound came from outside the door, and Mu Chengxi let go of Wen Xin to open it.
Mu Chengxi opened the door to see a stranger standing outside. His brow unconsciously furrowed, and his expression darkened as he asked in a husky voice, “Who are you looking for? What do you want?”
“Excuse me, is Miss Wen here? I am Chu Mufeng’s agent. Mufeng has encountered some trouble here and needs Miss Wen’s help…”
“Let him in!” Wen Xin, who had been listening, found the voice somewhat familiar. When he disclosed his identity, Wen Xin was certain – this person really was Chu Mufeng’s agent.
Upon hearing Wen Xin’s words, Mu Chengxi opened the door wider to let the agent in.
The moment the agent saw Wen Xin, his eyes involuntarily widened slightly; he was astounded by Wen Xin’s striking beauty, wondering how he had never noticed how beautiful Wen Xin was before.
“Boss… Mufeng is in trouble…”
Hearing the agent directly address her as the boss, Wen Xin’s beautiful eyebrows gave a slight twitch. Indeed, he had discovered her identity.
“If Chu Mufeng is in trouble, shouldn’t you seek the company? What are you doing looking for me?” Wen Xin said with a hint of annoyance, not knowing how the agent could have found her.
