Chapter 676: 675: Full of Calculations and Scheming

After lunch, Mu Chengxi’s phone kept vibrating. Wen Xin turned her head to look at Mu Chengxi, who was staring at his phone and smiling foolishly.

“What are you looking at?”

“Checking the group messages.”

As he spoke, Mu Chengxi placed his phone in front of Wen Xin. Wen Xin took the phone and glanced at the group messages indifferently, then spoke in a dull tone, “Boring.”

After returning the phone to Mu Chengxi, Wen Xin picked up the juice beside her, took a sip, and then stood up.

“I’m heading back to school. I have a lot of classes recently and might not have time to return to the apartment…”

Mu Chengxi stood up with Wen Xin’s movements, wrapped his arms around her from behind, and gently nuzzled her neck, “I’ll miss you.”

After saying that, Mu Chengxi took Wen Xin by the hand and led her out of the restaurant together.

While they were having lunch, Mu Chengxi had sent Mu Bei back, opting to drive Wen Xin back to school himself. As the car came to a stop next to the campus, they spotted a motorhome parked in an inconspicuous corner.

Wen Xin also saw the motorhome, her beautiful eyes narrowing slightly, carrying a hint of dangerous light.

Mu Chengxi, seeing Wen Xin’s expression, raised an eyebrow unconsciously, “What? Do you know that car?”

“I know it, Chu Mufeng. He probably thinks the situation isn’t chaotic enough and wants to come over to cause more trouble.”

Wen Xin, irritated, pulled out her phone from her pocket and dialed Meng Ge’s number. The moment the call connected, an excited voice came from the other end.

“Boss, what did I do wrong? Is it really you calling me?”

Wen Xin didn’t have time to care for Meng Ge’s astonished tone, and spoke coldly into the phone, “Tell Chu Mufeng to roll back to the company right away. And his agent, what’s the deal? Do they think today’s issue was resolved too easily?”

Wen Xin’s tone was thick with displeasure. She was truly unhappy. Knowing the current situation, yet still coming to stir up trouble, she felt that the agent might have ulterior motives!

Meng Ge was scared by Wen Xin’s words; she had been reminding Chu Mufeng to keep a low profile and not cause more trouble for the company. Now he had actually gone to Jingda University to find the boss, what was going on?

“Boss, I’ll call Chu Mufeng’s agent right away. Are you at school now?”

“Yes, at school. Tell Chu Mufeng that if he doesn’t want to be frozen out, he needs to keep it down. Not everyone is willing to deal with his messy issues every day.”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Although Wen Xin had already figured out that Jiang Linyan was behind the incident, those photos weren’t something Jiang Linyan could easily obtain. If it wasn’t for Chu Mufeng’s deliberate leak, no one could have gotten them, and she had long guessed his little schemes.

Meng Ge immediately understood what Wen Xin meant. He had found Chu Mufeng when the incident happened, and Chu Mufeng had said he had a way to deal with it.

Plus, the PR manager had told him about the agent wanting Wen Xin to take the fall, which Chu Mufeng had strongly opposed.

His little schemes weren’t hard to guess; he wanted to use this incident to force Wen Xin to acknowledge the relationship between the two of them.

Chu Mufeng’s scheming had to be admitted as somewhat impressive; the beads of his abacus had even bounced onto his own face.

“Boss, I’m going to hang up now. I’ll call Chu Mufeng right away and tell him to come back to the company immediately.” After saying that, Meng Ge hung up the phone.

After Meng Ge hung up, Wen Xin searched for WeChat messages on her phone, intending to send Chu Mufeng a message to warn him. However, before Wen Xin could find Chu Mufeng’s profile picture, she was encircled in Mu Chengxi’s arms.

“Is WEN Entertainment also one of your properties?”

After the announcement made by the entertainment company, Mu Chengxi felt that something was fishy since no company would prioritize a stranger over its own artists.

But judging by the conversation between Wen Xin and the person on the other end of the phone, it wasn’t surprising that the entertainment company chose to protect its own boss.

“Yes, the company is mine,” Wen Xin replied calmly to Mu Chengxi’s question, placing her phone on the seat and wrapping her arms around him.

Wen Xin looked into Mu Chengxi’s deep eyes, raised her eyebrows with a light laugh, then cupped his cheeks and gently kissed his lips.

“This all started when Chu Mufeng first entered the entertainment industry. At the time, I had a few good songs and I gave them to him as an opportunity to further his career.”

“With just those few singles, his career developed quickly, but he never felt that music was the dream he wanted to chase. He wanted to be an actor.”

“At the time, I didn’t have the time to pay much attention to his affairs. It was only later that I learned about his stumbling journey and the oppression he faced. Out of respect for my grandmother, I helped him out and even founded an entertainment company…”

Wen Xin’s tone was very relaxed as she explained, but Mu Chengxi could tell that everything she had done was because of the Su family.

He was now involuntarily wondering, if Su Li had been a little nicer to her and the Geng family had treated her a bit better, would the Geng family have achieved the status they desired?

Mu Chengxi didn’t let go of Wen Xin because of what she said; instead, he held her even tighter in his embrace.

“You owe nothing to any of them. On the contrary, they owe you. For your grandmother, you’ve done everything you could to sustain her life and let her enjoy her old age. In the end, you even allowed her to be enshrined in the Su family’s ancestral hall.”

“You’ve been more than fair to the Su family, and to Tan Xingyue, you’ve been so good that even I got jealous.”

“My dear, from now on, you shouldn’t have any psychological pressure or burdens. You’ve already done enough. There’s no need to push yourself too hard. Just live a good life, live a good life by my side!”

Wen Xin, looking into Mu Chengxi’s affectionate gaze, suddenly felt a sourness in her nose. She rested her head on his cheek and nestled into the crook of his neck, sighing softly.

Yes, Mu Chengxi was right. She had done enough; it was time for her to live well for herself. She was beholden to no one!

After nestling in Mu Chengxi’s arms for a few minutes, Wen Xin let go of him, gently pushed him away, and looked straight into his tender eyes with her bright ones.

“Mr. Mu, thank you for coming into my world, for pulling me out from the dark abyss. I hope to have you by my side in the future!”

Wen Xin reached out her hand towards Mu Chengxi, her beautiful, slender hand fluttering in front of him, waiting for his response.

Seeing Wen Xin’s formal gesture, Mu Chengxi returned to his seat and looked at her seriously. He reached out, taking her soft small hand into his own well-defined large one.
