Wen Xin’s words made Mu Chengxi laugh softly. He hugged Wen Xin tighter, saying, ‘I haven’t even had the pleasure, and you’re already thinking about great-grandchildren. Aren’t you getting a little ahead of yourself? Little girl, you’re still young. Let’s not worry about great-grandchildren just yet.’

Mu Chengxi’s voice was filled with affection. In his eyes, Wen Xin was just a young girl. Despite his uncontrollable desire, the thought of having children had truly never crossed his mind. He couldn’t bear the thought of her enduring pain.

Especially after witnessing Qin Qiong’s condition being wheeled out of the surgery room at the hospital today, he didn’t see childbirth as particularly desirable.

After Wen Xin warmed up a bit, she looked up at Mu Chengxi, ‘What were you up to? Why did you come back so late?’

‘Mu Zhan caused Qin Qiong to miscarry on the way to the hospital. The butler didn’t know what to do, so he called me over. My uncle and aunt were making a big deal about it, so I had to handle it.’

‘A miscarriage? That’s really unfortunate.’ Wen Xin wasn’t interested in other people’s affairs. She hadn’t met that woman and didn’t feel any sympathy.

Wen Xin wrapped her arms around Mu Chengxi’s waist, finding a comfortable position in his embrace, ‘I need to pick up Wen Huai from the airport tomorrow. Let’s go to sleep, it’s getting late.’

Mu Chengxi leaned down to gently kiss the corner of Wen Xin’s lips, ‘I’ve arranged for Mu Dong to accompany you tomorrow. I have some matters to attend to at home.’

Imagining the Mu family members would surely storm the old mansion tomorrow to demand justice for Mu Zhan, it was better for Wen Xin to be away. He didn’t want these troubles to sour her mood.

‘Okay.’

Comforted by Mu Chengxi’s familiar scent, Wen Xin snuggled closer into his embrace and soon fell asleep.

The next morning, Wen Xin was awakened by an alarm she had set in advance. Glancing at the time on her phone and then at Mu Chengxi, who slept peacefully beside her, she kissed his lips gently before quietly getting out of bed and heading to the bathroom.

By the time Wen Xin had finished grooming, Mu Chengxi, wearing only a pair of boxer shorts, entered the bathroom. Wen Xin glanced at him briefly before avertedly shifting her gaze, her ears unknowingly turning pink.

Mu Chengxi caught all of Wen Xin’s actions in his eyes, especially her blushingly pink ears, which he found incredibly cute.

He chuckled softly and hugged Wen Xin from behind, gently rubbing his cheek against her neck.

‘Your clothes are in the walk-in closet.’ While he spoke, Mu Chengxi’s eyes lingered on the emerald green jade bracelet on Wen Xin’s wrist, making her wrist appear even more slender and fair.

‘You can just leave with Mu Dong later, regardless of who tries to stop you.’

The butler had already informed Mu Chengxi that other family members had arrived at the old mansion, including the most troublesome, Mu Jinrou.

Wen Xin, observing their reflection in the mirror and sensing the provocative atmosphere, teasingly raised an eyebrow at Mu Chengxi, ‘What? You think I can’t handle trouble? I was the one who fought; do I need to run?’

Wen Xin’s lips curved into a faint smile. It wasn’t that she disregarded the Mu family; she simply didn’t see those scoundrels as significant. They were malignant tumors to be removed sooner or later. The timing didn’t matter, as long as the removal was thorough.

‘It’s not about running. I just don’t want these troubles to upset you. Go pick up Wen Huai. Leave the rest to me. But now that we’re on the subject, why is Wen

Huai coming back all of a sudden?’

Mu Chengxi had been curious about Wen Huai’s return but had not discussed it with Wen Xin, seeing her asleep.

After applying some makeup casually, Wen Xin turned to look at Mu Chengxi’s handsome face, his slender neck, his gently sliding collarbone, and his sexy collarbone…

She swallowed hard, her arms lazily draping over Mu Chengxi’s shoulders, not daring to move much. She could clearly feel someone’s willpower slowly crumbling.

“Although the Wen family is no more, he’s still the eldest son of the Wen family. He just follows Ma Wenyuan around. Old Mr. Ou invited Ma Wenyuan to a banquet, so naturally, he has to accompany Ma Wenyuan.”

“Ma Wenyuan is quite busy, so he just came back earlier on his own. He said Tan Xingyue prepared a lot of things for me, asked him to bring them back. Most importantly, Huahua was reported in the dormitory, and the dorm management won’t allow pets, so I asked him to bring Huahua over. It’s better to keep her close.’

‘Huahua is a pet she raised herself, her treasure, and she couldn’t bear to let it be neglected outside. So Wen Xin decided it was best to take care of it herself. She wouldn’t be running around much lately, and keeping Huahua at home wouldn’t pose any risk.

‘Alright, then go have breakfast and head to the airport to pick up Wen Huai and Huahua. Also, have Mu Dong buy some supplies for Huahua. Do you want to send Wen Huai back to the Ma residence?’

Mu Chengxi carried Wen Xin to the walk-in closet. Feeling the heat from a certain area, Wen Xin’s mind became a bit foggy, hesitating for a moment.

‘Ah, I won’t go to the Ma residence. I’ll talk about the research institute after I get into college. Go freshen up.’

Wen Xin, with her thoughts in disarray, jumped down from Mu Chengxi’s embrace. The temptation was becoming too much to bear; who could resist such seduction?

Mu Chengxi watched Wen Xin’s adorable actions, laughing softly, then exited the walk-in closet.

Wen Xin dressed simply as usual, in light blue jeans and a black sweatshirt, looking youthful and energetic.

When the butler saw Wen Xin coming down the stairs from the second floor, he quickly directed the servants to bring out the prepared breakfast, respectfully informing Wen Xin, ‘Miss Wen, this is the breakfast prepared by Aunt Fu.

Please take your time and enjoy.’

‘Thank you.’ Wen Xin’s voice was cool as she thanked him, approached the dining room, took the bowl and chopsticks from a servant, and began to eat breakfast.

After Wen Xin started eating, the butler left. Mu Dong and Liang Luoyu walked in lazily from outside when they saw Wen Xin in the dining room.

The breakfast was sumptuous, and after taking a sip of honeyed soy milk, Wen

Xin looked up at the two men who had just entered and waved them over.

‘Sit down and eat.’

Mu Dong and Liang Luoyu didn’t hesitate, sitting opposite Wen Xin. Liang Luoyu curiously looked at Wen Xin, ‘Miss Wen, when we came in, there were quite a few cars parked outside. Are those people here to trouble Master Xi?’ Wen Xin took a bite of youtiao, looked at Liang Luoyu, and raised her eyebrows slightly, ‘You’re asking me? How would I know? But they’re probably here because of last night’s incident.. You’ll know if you follow Mu Chengxi to handle it, won’t you?’
