A Big Shot's Woman Is Wild and Fierce

Chapter 645: Chapter 644: No Need to Speak Well for Him, I Know Exactly What Kind of Person He Is
“Okay, then I’ll wait for Mu Bei’s call. Oh, by the way, Miss, why hasn’t there been any news from Wen Huai recently? He hasn’t attended the military training either. What are you guys up to?”

“He’s dealing with a minor issue. You don’t need to worry about it; he’ll return when the time comes, and there won’t be any danger or accidents!”

Out of the corner of her eye, Wen Xin noticed Mu Chengxi moving. She hurriedly gave Ma Wenyuan a perfunctory answer, “Uncle Ma, I have some matters to attend to here, so you go ahead and arrange things in the laboratory. You really don’t need to worry about Wen Huai.”

After speaking, Wen Xin hung up the phone without any hesitation, casually tossing it onto the bed before turning to check on Mu Chengxi’s condition.

Mu Chengxi frowned, rubbing his temples, and slowly opened his eyes.

When he first opened his eyes, his vision was a bit blurry, but he immediately recognized the woman before him as Wen Xin.

A few seconds later, Mu Chengxi’s vision cleared. He saw Wen Xin looking at him with concern and showed her a gentle smile. Raising his hand, he gently touched Wen Xin’s head, his voice husky as he spoke.

“Don’t worry, I’m fine…”

“Yes, as long as you are alright!” Wen Xin bent down and couldn’t help but hug Mu Chengxi, laying her head on his chest. Listening to Mu Chengxi’s strong heartbeat slowly calmed the anxiety in her heart.

Sun Ning, who was eating, watched as Mu Chengxi and Wen Xin embraced tightly. After swallowing a mouthful of food, he spoke up in a mood-breaking manner.

“Hey, do you two want to eat something? It seems like I’ve ordered too much takeout.”

Such a warm atmosphere was ruined by Sun Ning’s remark. Wen Xin let go of Mu Chengxi and stood up to pour him a cup of warm water. She adjusted Mu Chengxi’s bed to allow him to sit up slightly.

Wen Xin brought the warm water to Mu Chengxi’s lips, and he drank the entire cup in one gulp. Only then did he notice the man who was eating – it was the same man who had injected him in the Independent State.

“Why is he here?”

When Mu Chengxi saw Sun Ning, he felt a sense of mental dizziness, thinking he was still in the Independent State.

“I came to save you. Without me, you might have been dead!” After taking a bite of a steamed bun, Sun Ning squinted his eyes contentedly, then spoke up with a bit of arrogance.

Mu Chengxi looked up at Wen Xin, who was adjusting his IV drip, and asked with a husky voice, “What’s he talking about?”

“He’s telling the truth. You got infected with a virus in the Independent State, and the situation was grim. Thankfully, he came in time with his own antidote, which he used on you, and that improved your condition,” she explained.

“As for whether there are any viruses left in your body, further analysis is needed. Once Mu Bei returns and takes you to the research institute’s Biological Laboratory, we’ll know. Uncle Ma will have made the arrangements in advance.”

Seeing that Mu Chengxi had now returned to his normal state, Wen Xin felt the irritability in her heart gradually disappear. Now she was calm and composed as she explained the situation to Mu Chengxi.

She had been ready for a while now—if anything unexpected happened to Mu Chengxi, she would have killed her way back to the Independent State. She wouldn’t have spared a single one of the old guard, making them all accompany Mu Chengxi in death.

Mu Chengxi looked at Sun Ning, wolfing down food on the sofa, and unconsciously furrowed his brows. He whispered to Wen Xin in a hushed voice, “Is he going to be okay eating that much?”

“Should be fine, right?” Wen Xin glanced at Sun Ning and suddenly realized that his appearance might be too coincidental. Considering the situation in the Independent State at the time, it shouldn’t have been easy for Sun Ning to leave. How did he manage it?

“How… did you get out of the Independent State?”

After removing the IV from Mu Chengxi’s hand and tucking him into bed, Wen Xin made sure Mu Chengxi was comfortably lying down.

Sun Ning, who was eating, had already anticipated that Wen Xin would notice something amiss with the timing of his appearance once she had regained her senses. He had already prepared an explanation for this situation.

“It was Alfredo who let me out. Even when I took the risk of finding him and injecting the antiviral agent, it was arranged by Alfredo. You’ve actually misunderstood Alfredo.”

“Alfredo was indeed serious about wanting to marry you, but he never planned to harm anyone close to you. He used that threat only because he was frustrated and jealous. In fact, he was already trying to find a way out before you went to rescue Mu Chengxi.”

When Sun Ning left the Independent State, Alfredo specifically warned him not to mention Alfredo in front of Wen Xin. He didn’t need Wen Xin to feel grateful toward him because of Mu Chengxi, as that would be a mockery to him.

Not being able to keep one’s own woman was bad enough; having to have his beloved feel grateful for the foolish things he’d done was indeed humiliating.

Wen Xin sat by Mu Chengxi’s bedside, rolling her eyes at Sun Ning; she found his attempt to speak well of Alfredo quite tedious.

“I’ve known Alfredo for so long, how could I not know what he’s thinking? He’s never done anything without self-interest at the forefront. Princess Jason II captured Mu Chengxi for what reason—you think Alfredo’s not clearer on that than you or me? Can you guarantee he’s not interested in those things?”

Sun Ning fell into thought at Wen Xin’s words, and his eating slowed. After reflecting on Wen Xin’s point and considering Alfredo’s way of doing things, Sun Ning realized he had indeed thought too simplistically.

“Anyway, it doesn’t matter. I was able to leave the Independent State thanks to a pass signed by Alfredo. I merely told him I wanted to come out and learn the medical arts from you, about the research institute—he’s none the wiser. You can relax.”

“Also, on the morning I left the Independent State, I went to apply medication to Alfredo’s wounds, and in his office, I encountered the Old Fox from your family. He was there with his grandson, asking Alfredo to arrange a position for him.”

“Judging by the old fox’s attitude, he was aiming for a high ranking—those kind with voice and decision-making power. Alfredo refused and told the Old Fox that his grandson must undergo an assessment to enter the Elders Council, which obviously left the Old Fox unhappy.”

“This doesn’t fit his style at all.”

It was an unspoken truth that Alfredo was clinging to the Wen family in the Independent State. His sudden change of attitude towards the Old Fox puzzled and confounded everyone.

Wen Xin wasn’t the least bit interested in Alfredo’s affairs. Now that she was in a better mood, she found the smell of food in the room quite repulsive. She called for a nurse to arrange a different room for Mu Chengxi.

Seeing the nurse’s respectful treatment of Wen Xin, Sun Ning’s curiosity surged once again. Dropping the bun in his hand, he eagerly pulled aside a young nurse and began to ask questions with a gossipy air.
