Chapter 700: 699: Being Followed at the Airport

Twenty minutes later, Wen Xin lazily sat in the passenger seat, watching the refreshed man who had just finished tidying up the car, and lazily took a sip of warm water handed to her by Mu Chengxi.

“Do you still have time?” Wen Xin’s voice was somewhat hoarse, sounding incredibly sexy.

Mu Chengxi sat in the driver’s seat, looked at the languid Wen Xin, and tenderly bent down to drop a kiss on the corner of Wen Xin’s lips, then neatly fastened his own button, started the car, and drove out of the school.

“There’s still time. Are you sure you still have the strength to drive the car back?”

Wen Xin’s heavy eyelids slightly lifted, and she glanced at Mu Chengxi sideways, “I’m just a bit tired, not paralyzed, how could I not be able to?”

Having said that, Wen Xin closed her eyes again, beginning to recover her energy, as Mu Chengxi was a bit fierce and had worn her out somewhat.

Mu Chengxi parked the car in the airport’s underground parking lot, his mobile phone vibrated, it was a message from Mu Bei asking if he had arrived.

“Arrived, in the parking lot.”

After replying to Mu Bei’s message, he glanced at the time, then casually placed his phone in his pocket, gently kissing the corner of Wen Xin’s lips.

“I am about to board the plane, can you leave by driving yourself?”

By this time, Wen Xin had almost completely recovered, she stretched lazily, and hugged Mu Chengxi’s neck, giving him a gentle kiss.

“I’ll walk you up.”

After saying that, Wen Xin quickly got out of the car, now looking nothing like her previously exhausted self.

Mu Chengxi watched Wen Xin’s actions, smiled softly, picked up his jacket from the back seat of the car, and got out.

Walking up to Wen Xin, Mu Chengxi draped the jacket over Wen Xin’s shoulders, carrying Wen Xin’s backpack, and holding her hand, they walked toward the airport interior.

When Mu Chengxi appeared with Wen Xin, the crowd, especially the Mu family and the researchers, looked at Wen Xin somewhat surprisingly.

“Master Xi, Miss Wen!” Mu Bei, upon seeing Mu Chengxi and Wen Xin approaching together, quickly walked up to greet them.

“Is Miss Wen also going with us? I’ll go check in.”

“No need, she’s just here to see me off, she’ll drive back later.” Having said this, Mu Chengxi placed the car keys in Wen Xin’s hand and glanced at the time.

“Is everyone here? Can we set off now?”

“Master Xi, everyone is here, we can start boarding now.” Saying this, the waiting flight attendants began to lead the group toward the boarding gate.

Mu Chengxi helped adjust the jacket on Wen Xin, then bent down, kissed her once, and placed the backpack in Wen Xin’s hands.

“Call me if you need anything while I’m away.”

“Mm, I know, don’t worry,” Wen Xin responded to Mu Chengxi, her voice unusually gentle.

“I’m heading off!” Saying this, Mu Chengxi tousled Wen Xin’s soft hair, then turned and walked towards the boarding gate.

Wen Xin stood there watching Mu Chengxi’s departing figure, not leaving until she could no longer see him.

Having put on Mu Chengxi’s coat, Wen Xin carried her backpack and headed towards the outside of the airport.

When Wen Xin reached the entrance of the parking lot, she sensed that she was being followed. She intentionally slowed her steps, waiting for the person behind her to catch up.

Just then, a strange presence came from behind. Wen Xin gripped the strap of her backpack, ready to defend herself, when she heard a familiar voice.

“Little princess, it’s me…”

Upon hearing the voice, Wen Xin quickly turned around and saw a pair of familiar eyes. Although he was wearing a mask, Wen Xin recognized him instantly.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Sun Ning? How did you come back so soon?”

“Little princess, this is not a good place to talk. Let’s go,” Sun Ning said as he walked up, grabbed Wen Xin’s arm, and led her into the underground parking lot. They reached the center of the parking lot before Sun Ning stopped.

“Little princess, your vigilance is still a bit low. How could you run into a parking lot when being followed? It would have been very dangerous if there had been no one to save you. Next time, remember to run towards a more crowded area.”

Listening to Sun Ning while he casually lectured her, Wen Xin was certain that his condition was still quite good.

Wen Xin led Sun Ning to Mu Chengxi’s car. Sun Ning glanced at Mu Chengxi’s car and couldn’t help but exclaim, “Wow, this car is a global limited edition, how do you have it?”

“It’s Mu Chengxi’s. Get in the car. Where to? Research institute or hospital?” Wen Xin was used to Sun Ning’s surprises and asked casually where he planned to go.

“Let’s go to the hospital. I’ve already got the injection, and it works better if we go sooner,” Sun Ning said as he sat in the front passenger seat, patting his backpack proudly.

Wen Xin watched Sun Ning’s expression, raised her eyebrow subtly, then started the car and drove away from the airport.

On the road, Wen Xin confirmed the efficacy of Sun Ning’s experimental medication, then called Ma Wenyuan to let him know, suggesting that Ma Wenyuan now wait at the hospital, as it was most appropriate for him to look after Old Dong’s matter.

When Wen Xin arrived at the hospital, Ma Wenyuan was already waiting for her at the entrance. He was slightly stunned when he saw the car Wen Xin was driving.

“Oh, why are you driving this car? I saw this car when I was at Jingda University and thought Mu Chengxi had gone to Jingda to find you!”

Ma Wenyuan’s comment made Wen Xin lightly cough in embarrassment, hesitating for a moment before she softly responded.

“He did go to Jingda to find me. I took him to the airport, and on the way back, I ran into Sun Ning.”

Wen Xin didn’t want Ma Wenyuan to focus on the car, so she raised her hand, rubbed her slightly warm ears, and spoke in a gentle tone.

Ma Wenyuan, looking at Sun Ning, greeted Su Ning warmly and then led Sun Ning and Wen Xin towards Old Dong’s hospital room.

Entering Old Dong’s hospital room, Sun Ning, seeing Old Dong’s condition, reassuredly nodded at Wen Xin, indicating that Old Dong’s condition hadn’t worsened.

Wen Xin didn’t go in this time; she sat in the hallway, quietly waiting for news from inside. Although she had no direct memories of Old Dong, she held great respect for him, as he had been close to her parents previously.

About half an hour later, Sun Ning came out of the room and gave Wen Xin an ‘OK’ gesture, causing her to unconsciously breathe a sigh of relief.

“Aren’t you going to go in and see him? The virus has been cured, but his body is still weak. He woke up for a while but then fell asleep again.”

Wen Xin stood up, shook her head, and said, “No need to see him now. He is the head of the Research Institute, and we will have many opportunities to meet in the future. Let him rest well.”
