Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Chief Engineer Tang, come to my clinic tomorrow. I’ll give you a treatment.
It’s already autumn, and you’re still sweating; something isn’t quite right!”
“Alright, alright, I’ll be troubling Elder Zhuge then.” While thanking Zhuge Jingming, Chief Engineer Tang couldn’t help but glance at Wen Xin, who was accepting gifts, his thoughts evident. He knew that not all of his sweat was due to physical reasons; psychological factors played a part too.
During the meal, because of her happiness, Wen Xin drank two glasses of wine. Her alcohol tolerance wasn’t great, and she was slightly drunk.
She leaned lazily on Mu Chengxi’s shoulder, saying goodbye to the guests of her birthday party.
When most of the guests had left, Ma Wenyuan and Wen Zhimo approached Wen Xin. Ma Wenyuan hesitated, wanting to say something but unsure how to start.
Wen Xin was a person who knew how to read people’s expressions. She knew what Ma Wenyuan wanted to say. She stood up from Mu Chengxi’s embrace.
“Uncle Ma, the Ma family is the Ma family, and the Chen family is the Chen family. You and my aunt are family, and I understand that. I appreciate all your kindness, and I’ve resolved the issues with the Chen family. As long as you don’t blame me, it’s fine.
“What are you talking about? You are the one I need to protect. What does it matter what others do? I just don’t want you to be wronged!”
Ma Wenyuan thought Wen Xin was angry with him, not expecting her to be so considerate of his feelings.
“Uncle Ma, I know who the good people are and who the bad ones are. Blocking your contact was just to avoid making things difficult for you; there’s no other reason. I’m very happy that you and my aunt could come today.”
Wen Xin lazily stretched out her arm to hug Wen Zhimo, whispering a “thank you” into her ear.
Wen Zhimo didn’t expect a thank you from Wen Xin, and tears uncontrollably flowed down her cheeks. She gently patted Wen Xin’s shoulder.
During their conversation, Mu Chengxi approached Wen Huai, offering his WeChat QR code, and inviting Wen Huai to add him as a friend.
“Thanks for that kick today!”
Everyone thought Mu Chengxi overlooked Wen Huai’s kick because of his status, but only Mu Chengxi knew how grateful he was for Wen Huai’s timely intervention.
If not for Wen Huai, the proposal might not have been as successful.
At the moment, Mu Chengxi was bewildered; proposing and offering himself as a gift to Wen Xin were impulsive thoughts without any plan or arrangement. He was mostly overwhelmed and at a loss for what to do.
“Don’t mention it. If you ever bully my sister, even if I can’t beat you, I’ll fight you with my life. Bullying my sister is out of the question!”
Wen Huai’s gaze was cold as he stared at Mu Chengxi, his determination clear in his eyes. Wen Xin was his world, and now that he could protect her, he wouldn’t let her be wronged.
“Don’t worry, she’s my little ancestor. Little brother-in-law, add me on WeChat for easier communication!” Mu Chengxi teased Wen Huai with a smirk.
Wen Huai turned his head to look at Mu Chengxi, surprisingly finding him more agreeable. He took out his phone, scanned Mu Chengxi’s QR code, and added him as a friend.
After adding each other, Wen Huai’s phone vibrated. He looked at it to find a transfer of eight figures.
He looked at Mu Chengxi, bewildered. Was his brother-in-law showing off his wealth? Such a generous gesture right off the bat?
Mu Chengxi walked back to Wen Xin, noticing the red string in her hand. Without asking, he knew it was a gift from Tan Xingyue, this time not an anklet but likely a bracelet.
“It’s getting late. Let’s have Mu Bei take Tan Xingyue and Zhao Yuyao to the hotel to rest. Wen Huai, are you and your aunt going back home or to the hotel?”
Wen Xin looked up at Wen Huai, who was silently looking down, suddenly very quiet, and felt puzzled.
“Today, I’ll take Wen Huai and Xingyue back home. I don’t feel comfortable with them staying in a hotel. Let’s rest tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow, Wenyuan can take them back to Ice City.”
Wen Zhimo spoke gently, concerned about the kids staying in a hotel,
especially since Tan Xingyue was a girl.
“That sounds good. Take Zhao Yuyao with you too!” Wen Xin said with a light smile, looking at the naive young man standing with Wen Huai. Yuyao had moved her deeply.
“No need; my mom knows Yuyao is in Beijing. She specifically asked me to take Yuyao home. Don’t worry, my parents are already back in the city house, and I was going to stay there too. It’s better if Yuyao comes with me.”
At this moment, Mu Chengxu hugged Zhao Yuyao’s shoulders and spoke excitedly. She felt that this younger brother of Zhao Yuyao was much cuter than Mu Chengxi. She could finally have an adorable younger brother.
“Alright, since everyone has a place to go, let’s all head home! I need to go home and rest too!”
Wen Xin initially wanted a simple birthday with just Mu Chengxi, but he made it so grand, which moved her greatly.
But the most touching part was receiving the best gift of her life. She was eager to go home and open it.
After saying goodbye to everyone, Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi got into the car driven by Mu Dong and Mu Bei. Sitting in the car, Wen Xin lazily leaned on Mu Chengxi, smiling as she replied to someone’s message, unable to hide her joy.
When they passed by a convenience store, Wen Xin suddenly asked Mu Dong to stop the car.
Just as Mu Dong parked, Wen Xin hurriedly tried to jump out, but Mu Chengxi quickly grabbed her wrist.
“What are you doing? You’ve drunk too much. If you want to buy something, I’ll get it for you!”
Mu Chengxi saw Wen Xin’s eyes slightly reddened, her beautiful eyes shimmering, clearly intoxicated, and he was worried about letting her go out alone.
“No!” Wen Xin firmly refused Mu Chengxi, her dark eyes fixed on his beautiful peach blossom eyes, seriously saying, “You too shouldn’t get out. I want to go buy something myself! ”
Wen Xin then freed herself from Mu Chengxi’s grip, opened the car door, and jumped out.
After getting out, she turned back to see Mu Chengxi about to follow her, her beautiful eyes narrowing slightly, raising an eyebrow, “You’re the gift today.
You have to be good and not make me unhappy! Listen to me!”
Seeing Wen Xin’s domineering and willful side for the first time, Mu Chengxi was somewhat helpless, sitting in the car and nodding, “Alright, you’re the boss today. You call the shots. Go ahead, I’ll wait for you in the car.”
Mu Chengxi looked in the direction of the convenience store and feeling that such a short distance shouldn’t pose any problems, he was happy to let Wen Xin go to the store by herself..
