“Come on, everyone, let’s have some dessert. Eating something sweet can relieve fatigue. You’ve all worked hard these past few days.”

Ling Yichen’s assistant, carrying desserts and coffee milk tea, came in from outside. Mu Chengxi, walking lazily at the end of the group, extinguished the half-smoked cigarette in his hand before entering.

Approaching Wen Xin, Mu Chengxi took her warm hand, looking pleased, and placed a cheesecake in her hand.

“Try this dessert and see if you like it. If not, I’ll buy you something tasty when we return to Beijing.”

The smell of smoke lingered on Mu Chengxi, and Wen Xin turned to look at him, her eyebrows slightly raised. “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing much, just had a craving for a cigarette,” Mu Chengxi replied, leaning his head on Wen Xin’s shoulder with a gentle voice.

Since he said nothing was wrong, Wen Xin didn’t probe further. She took a bite of the cheesecake he had given her, the sweet taste spreading in her mouth, and she found it surprisingly delightful.

“It’s delicious…”

Saying so, Wen Xin scooped another bite into Mu Chengxi’s mouth, not minding the smell of cigarette smoke. It seemed she could accept all of Mu Chengxi’s habits.

Seeing how easily satisfied Wen Xin was, Mu Chengxi chuckled, recalling her words about being easy to care for from the day before.

“I asked Mu Bei to buy you roasted corn and sweet potatoes. He should be back soon. Eat less now; we still have dinner later.”

“Okay.” Wen Xin ate another couple of bites of the cake, then casually placed it on the table. She started playing games on Mu Chengxi’s console, oblivious to the glances from those around her.

The next morning, Wen Xin came out of her room to find Tan Xingyue watering plants by the window. Despite it being winter outside, the room’s temperature was pleasant, keeping the plants thriving.

Hearing Wen Xin’s footsteps, Tan Xingyue paused in her watering.

“Wen Xin, from now on, I only have you.”

“Who said you only have me? There are many people who care about you. We’re all your family, ” Wen Xin gently embraced Tan Xingyue, soothing her.

” Yes, although I still can’t accept that Grandma has left, I know this is also a blessing for Grandma. She was suffering g too much towards the end.”

“Understanding that is good. You need to live well for grandma to rest in peace,” Wen Xin said, gently pinching Tan Xingyue’s cheek. Tan Xingyue’s current state was somewhat reassuring to her.

“Oh, right, my brother left. He said something came up suddenly, so he didn’t say goodbye to you. He’s heading back to the film set. He had to leave early because of the tight schedule.”

Tan Xingyue’s explanation made Wen Xin smile gently. She understood why

Chu Mufeng had left so abruptly; some things didn’t need to be stated outright.

After chatting with Tan Xingyue in the living room for a while, Mu Chengxi and the others, having woken up, came downstairs. Mu Dong and Mu Bei had also brought over the items left at the hotel. After breakfast, the group left the nursing home.

Upon returning to Beijing, Wen Xin and Chu Yunxuan visited Tianye Technology Company. No one knew what she had experienced, but Gu Xiang became much more low-key and even actively requested to assist Wen Xin, wanting to be her right-hand help.

Initially, Wen Xin was somewhat guarded against Gu Xiang but later understood why others could easily manipulate Gu Xiang—it was because of her overly simplistic way of thinking.

New Year’s Eve was tomorrow. Wen Xin, who had been working overtime, suddenly notified her work team that they could leave early today, surprising everyone but also making them very happy.

“Our workaholic boss has finally given us a break. Working this intensely for five days straight had me questioning my life.”

“Right? Our boss is just too incredible. Despite working harder than any of us, she never seems tired. Why is that?”

“Because I’m young!” Wen Xin said to her team, who kept complaining behind her. She knew the workload was indeed a bit much for these older folks, but there was no helping it; she was short on time.

“After the New Year’s holiday, I’ll arrange for a traditional Chinese medicine doctor to come and help you all adjust. That way, you might be able to handle my pace of work.”

Wen Xin said this half-jokingly but was serious about having them checked out. After all, she couldn’t afford to lose the team she had just gotten used to because of work reasons.

After chatting briefly with them, Wen Xin packed up her things, slung her backpack over her shoulder, and walked out of the office, replying to a message from Mu Chengxi on her phone.

Just after replying to Mu Chengxi, Wen Xin’s phone vibrated with a message from Alfredo: “The Jason family needs to be rebuilt. They’ve applied for funds and need your signature.”

“Rejected!”

Wen Xin raised her eyebrows at the message, her attitude clear. The Jason family was her doing; why should she fund their reconstruction? Was this a dream?

After replying to Alfredo, Wen Xin blocked him. She didn’t need anyone spoiling her mood when she was feeling good.

Sitting in his office, Alfredo sighed helplessly after seeing the unmistakable red exclamation mark on his phone. He wasn’t too disappointed; he had guessed Wen Xin would respond this way.

“Chairman, the Second Master is downstairs and hopes to see you,” the assistant said after knocking and entering, regretting it upon seeing Alfredo’s displeased face.

“Tell him if he wants to see Wei Shisheng, he can do it himself. Bringing Wei Shisheng back to the Independent State is impossible.”

Alfredo knew his uncle’s visit was for this reason. He had said more than once that there was no room for negotiation on the matter of Wei Shisheng, especially not for someone Wen Xin disliked.

Understanding Alfredo’s intentions, the assistant hurried out, eager to leave the contentious atmosphere, worried that Alfredo’s anger might turn towards her.

After the assistant left, Alfredo stood by the window, looking out. He was trying to build an empire for Wen Xin, yet she was unwilling to return.

Wen Xin stepped out of the Tianye Tech Group building to find Mu Chengxi leaning against a car, smoking. Sensing her presence, Mu Chengxi stubbed out his cigarette and turned to face her.

“When did you get back? Have you been waiting here for me for a long time?”

Wen Xin asked, smiling at Mu Chengxi, her beautiful eyes filled with a joyful sparkle..
