A Big Shot's Woman Is Wild and Fierce

Chapter 826: 825
 

“I’ll call your mother, you go check the surveillance to see where they went, whether they left on their own or were taken away,” he said.

Mu Jinyan stretched his hand into his pocket and fumbled for a while before he managed to take out his cell phone and dialed Wei Manqing’s number…

Mu Chengxi had just left the hospital room when he saw Wei Manqing pushing Wen Xin out of the elevator in a wheelchair. He quickly walked up, grabbed the handles of Wen Xin’s wheelchair, and gasped for air.

“Where have you been?”

Perhaps because of the tension, Mu Chengxi’s face took on an even more unsightly expression, making Wen Xin feel somewhat estranged.

“I… I asked Auntie to take me to see Chu Yunxuan?”

Wen Xin slightly frowned and looked up at Mu Chengxi, not feeling she had done anything wrong.

“You went to see Chu Yunxuan without taking your phone? I’ve told you that once you were better, I would take you. Why did you have to act on your own?”

Mu Chengxi squatted down, dodged Wen Xin’s arms, and hugged her, his hands still trembling involuntarily.

Feeling Mu Chengxi’s nervousness, Wen Xin gently held his head and softly said, “I’m sorry, I was just too worried about Chu Yunxuan, so I begged Auntie to take me to see her. I just couldn’t wait that long.”

Wen Xin didn’t know why Mu Chengxi was so anxious, but her panicked appearance indeed made her feel she was at fault for not telling Mu Chengxi and secretly visiting Chu Yunxuan.

After about five or six minutes of silence, Mu Chengxi got up from Wen Xin’s arms, lifted her from the wheelchair, and carried her into the hospital room.

He gently placed Wen Xin on the bed, tucked her in, and didn’t say another word.

Seeing the tense atmosphere between the two, Wei Manqing wanted to say something, but Mu Jinyan grabbed her arm, stopping Wei Manqing’s movement.

“It’s good that she’s back. Calm yourself. Wen Xin is still a patient, don’t lose your temper with her. We’ll head back first,” Mu Jinyan said.

Without waiting for Mu Chengxi’s response, Mu Jinyan pulled Wei Manqing and left the hospital room.

After leaving the hospital room, Wei Manqing said to Mu Jinyan, “Your son seemed a bit off today.”

“He was quite normal under the circumstances. It wasn’t Xi Zai’s fault that Wen Xin had an accident, and then she suddenly disappeared from the hospital room. What do you think a normal person’s first reaction would be? Obviously, he would be worried about Chu or something!”

“Wen Xin’s background is too complicated. It’s hard to ensure that there won’t be more accidents in the future, so we still need to be very careful. You too must take more people with you when going out; it’s better not to go out unless necessary,” Wei Manqing carried on.

Mu Jinyan gently placed his arm around Wei Manqing’s shoulders, his voice soft as he spoke. Recently, Beijing has been too chaotic, making it necessary to be extra cautious.

Since Wen Huai went abroad for a competition, this was the first time Xiao Mi came alone to visit Wen Xin. She had mentioned wanting to visit Wen Xin several times over the phone, but each time, Wen Xin declined.

Wen Xin told her it would be better to spend her time studying, and there was no need to always worry about her.

However, recently Independent State had been pressing so hard that even Xiao Mi, willing to follow Wen Xin’s arrangements to stay at school, couldn’t settle down to study. So, she simply followed orders and came to the hospital to gather some information.

Wen Xin, lying on the hospital bed and looking at Mu Chengxi’s unpleasant expression, hesitated for a long time before extending her uninjured hand to actively request a hug from Mu Chengxi.

“Hug me, don’t be angry anymore. I know you are worried about me, afraid that I will be in danger again, but have you thought about it? The hospital is staffed by your people—who would dare to lay a hand on me here?”

As Wen Xin spoke, she acted coquettishly towards Mu Chengxi, hoping he would no longer be angry. He looked like a child who had done something wrong, seeming a bit nervous and at a loss.

Wen Xin’s demeanor successfully made Mu Chengxi feel heartache. Mu Chengxi sighed helplessly, stood up, sat down beside Wen Xin, and gently held her in his arms.

“If there is a next time, I definitely won’t be so easy to talk to, and I won’t forgive you,”

Mu Chengxi’s voice carried a warning tone, but Wen Xin knew Mu Chengxi probably wasn’t as angry as before. He was more concerned than anything.

Wen Xin buried her head in Mu Chengxi’s chest and rubbed against it, her voice muffled as she said, “I know you are tense about me, worried something might happen to me, but some things can’t be escaped or avoided. But rest assured, they can’t hurt me.”

Hearing Wen Xin still so confident, Mu Chengxi smiled lightly, “If they can’t hurt you, then what does that make you now? You are human, not a god, not invincible. So until you are healed, you should just stay obediently by my side.”

“Only when I protect you can I feel at ease!”

Mu Chengxi’s pointed words left Wen Xin with no opportunity to argue; she sighed softly and obediently responded in his arms.

“I’ll listen to you, all of it, you’re right!”

Just after Wen Xin’s somewhat reluctant agreement, a knock sounded from outside the door. Wen Xin raised her head from Mu Chengxi’s arms, and Mu Chengxi let her go and stood up straight to open the door.

When Mu Chengxi opened the door of the hospital room, he saw Xiao Mi entering with a bunch of fresh flowers. The two just looked at each other, neither saying a word.

Wen Xin sat up straight, her eyebrows slightly raised.

“Didn’t I say you should just stay at school and not run around scanning codes?” Wen Xin’s voice was somewhat cold, her tone not very pleasant.

Xiao Mi, seeing Wen Xin’s expression, unconsciously lowered her head and spoke in a muffled voice, “I was worried about you. Your condition was so dangerous. How could I be at ease without seeing you?”

Seeing Xiao Mi’s aggrieved expression, Wen Xin smiled gently, “Put down the flowers. How is school? Has Teacher Sun been giving you a hard time? How are you getting along with your classmates?”

“I am doing quite well at school. Teacher Sun takes good care of me, and the classmates are all nice. Ling Xu ‘Er often invites me to have meals together; they all take good care of me.”

As Xiao Mi talked about school, her eyes lit up, making it clear that she indeed enjoyed her life at school.

That Teacher Sun was taking care of Xiao Mi was unexpected to Wen Xin; in her mind, as long as Teacher Sun didn’t trouble Xiao Mi, that already made her a good person, but to take care of her…

Xiao Mi, seeing Wen Xin’s disbelief, continued, “She wants to take me as her apprentice. She said I have steady hands, a good trait for a surgeon, and she suggested I could ask you about it.”
