Chapter 607: Gradually Recovering and Looking Better

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Alfredo lowered his head, words stuck in his throat, unable to speak. Wen Xin had seen through his thoughts, making him feel shameful about his actions.

Seeing Alfredo kneeling and not intending to get up, Wen Xin withdrew her hand, placing it back in her pocket. Since he was unwilling to rise, she didn’t insist and turned to leave.

After Wen Xin left Alfredo’s room, the bald man quickly returned, worried that Wen Xin’s temper might lead her to do something rash. Opening the door, he found Alfredo still kneeling on the floor. He hurried over to support him by the uninjured arm. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Chairman…”

“Make arrangements. I need to leave the hospital to handle Independent State affairs,” Alfredo said, his gaze now clear and resolute. He had realized his mistakes and how wrong he had been.

He shouldn’t have tried to force Wen Xin back by letting those old men wreak havoc. He especially shouldn’t have used Mu Chengxi, her beloved, to threaten her. He should be jealous of Mu Chengxi, but he forgot that Wen Xin chose Mu Chengxi. Alfredo was never her choice, not even worthy of jealousy.

When Wen Xin returned to Mu Chengxi’s room, she saw him eating. She walked over to Chu Yunxuan, took the bowl of porridge from her, and sat beside Mu Chengxi to feed him.

“Xinxin, your aunt brought you some food too. Your grandfather is worried you aren’t eating well and might exhaust yourself,” the elegant woman sitting nearby said nervously.

Hearing her voice, Wen Xin looked up. “Thank you, Aunt. I’ll eat soon. I didn’t notice you earlier as I was lost in thought.”

“Chengxi, this is my aunt. My grandfather visited you this morning, but you were still unconscious, so he left while I was resting.”

Mu Chengxi had already been introduced to her aunt earlier and had greeted her. Now, he expressed his gratitude. “Thank you, Grandfather, for your concern. I will visit him once I recover.”

Wen Xin smiled, placing the spoon to Mu Chengxi’s lips. “You need to focus on healing. Grandfather will likely visit again tomorrow.”

Seeing Mu Chengxi’s complexion improving, Wen Xin leaned in to kiss his forehead lightly. “Your main task is to rest. Don’t worry about anything else. In a few days, I’ll take you back to Beijing.”

“So soon? Your grandfather mentioned staying at the Tang family home after being discharged, to recuperate with the best medical care here,” her aunt interjected, concerned.

“We’ll stay about a week more, until his wounds are better. Then we’ll return to Beijing to let the fracture heal. Don’t worry, we’ll visit often,” Wen Xin replied. She didn’t want to stay too long in the Independent State, aware that lingering could stir up more trouble.

Wen Xin didn’t want to stay on the Independent State for too long. The longer she stayed, the more those people with ulterior motives would stir. She didn’t want to become anyone’s chess piece, much less declare war on those people in this situation.

She could still wait a little longer and wait for Wen Huai to grow up.

After Mu Chengxi finished a bowl of porridge, with Wales’ help, he lay back in bed. Wen Xin’s phone buzzed with a call from Mu Dong. Seeing his name, she smiled faintly, amused at how late his response was.

Answering the call, she heard Mu Dong’s excited voice. “Miss Wen, we just emerged from some islands near the Independent State. We found a secret lab there. Not sure what it was for, but it’s now under control. Is it true you found Master Xi? Why was he in the Independent State?”

Calculating the time, Wen Xin realized it had been five days since she informed Mu Xi. “Yes, Mu Chengxi is with me. I had someone inform Mu Xi four days ago. Why are you just finding out?”

“I’m sorry, Miss Wen. I left hastily and didn’t share your contact with Mu Xi…” Mu Dong stammered, hiding the fact that Mu Xi had ignored Wen Xin’s messages out of prejudice.?In fact, it was Mu Xi who had a problem with Wen Xin. He had automatically blocked all news about Wen Xin. As a result, Mu Dong only found out about Master Xi when he returned to Continent F.

However, Mu Xi already knew that he was wrong, but he could not apologize. He still felt that Wen Xin was lucky to be able to find Mu Chengxi.

Or perhaps Mu Chengxi was only going to the Independent State to handle some business and take Wen Xin to the Independent State to broaden her horizons.

Mu Chengxi, seeing Wen Xin’s call, took the phone from her. “You go eat. I’ll handle the rest.”

Mu Dong and the rest were Mu Chengxi’s men, so Wen Xin did not have much of an opinion about Mu Chengxi taking care of the rest of the matters. She nodded obediently and walked to sit opposite her aunt.

Wen Xin nodded and joined her aunt, who began serving her prepared dishes. Chu Yunxuan joined them, looking hopeful for a meal as well.

With Wen Xin eating, Mu Chengxi addressed Mu Dong. “How are things in Continent F?”

“Master Xi, your disappearance caused turmoil, but Mu Xi has it under control. However…”

Mu Dong wanted to plead for Mu Xi, who had misunderstood Wen Xin because he had never met her previously.

Mu Chengxi cut in. “Handle Continent F. Tell Mu Xi this is the last time. Wen Xin is your future mistress. If he shows disloyalty, it won’t be my decision to tolerate him.”
