Chapter 719: 718: A Sudden Pleasant Surprise, Ancestral Little One, I’ve Missed You

“Sure, just tell me straight.”

Wen Xin looked at Luo Qiete’s eyes in the rearview mirror and smiled faintly. She felt that whatever Luo Qiete could say, she would believe it.

“I am from the Independent State, and I guess no one could love and hate Independent State more than me. I could have had a happy life, but… when I was at my happiest, those people from Independent State took everything from me, leaving my mother and me to wander homeless.”

“If I hadn’t been so tough, maybe, I wouldn’t have survived to see this day!”

When Luo Qiete reached this point, he stopped the car by the roadside, took out a cigarette from the passenger side, lit it, and took a deep drag.

He remained silent for a long while before slowly starting to speak. “I hate every person from Independent State. I swore that once I had the power, I would make sure Independent State wouldn’t have it easy and would not spare those who killed my father and left my mother and me without a home.”

Wen Xin, observing Luo Qiete in the rearview mirror, was shocked by his words. She had never imagined Luo Qiete having such an identity.

“You… why don’t you want me to cooperate with Independent State? Are you also from Independent State? Or someone with a grudge against them?”

Luo Qiete noticed Wen Xin’s shocked expression, knowing that revealing the truth to her would definitely scare her. However, to his surprise, beyond her shock, Wen Xin didn’t seem frightened at all.

“Because I will ultimately have to stand against those people from Independent State, so I don’t want Independent State to become even more powerful. Fortunately, I didn’t betray your trust and managed to save your mother!”

Wen Xin answered Luo Qiete’s question lightly. She didn’t want to disclose her own identity to him, but neither did she refuse to answer his question, nor did she hide anything from him.

“I really should thank you for what you did for my mother. From now on, if you need anything, just come to me. If I can do it, I will never shirk the responsibility!”

Through the rearview mirror, Luo Qiete looked at Wen Xin’s delicate features, unable to deny his fondness for her. Still, he dared not show it too openly; he worried that expressing his liking for Wen Xin too abruptly would scare her away.

He was becoming greedy, wanting more.

“Drive, take me back to the hotel.”

Wen Xin slowly rolled down the window, airing out the smoke from inside the car.

Although she didn’t learn much, she figured out some things, and there was no need to keep hanging out with Luo Qiete. After all, besides being patient with Mu Chengxi, she really couldn’t muster much patience for others.

Wen Xin spoke in a gentle tone, and Luo Qiete obediently started the car. Though reluctant, he drove Wen Xin back to the hotel.

As Luo Qiete’s car pulled up outside the hotel, Wen Xin saw a familiar figure stepping out from a black car at the same time.

The man was dressed in a black shirt that hugged his body neatly and properly, with the top button undone just below the collar, revealing his attractive collarbone and the enticing movement beneath…

The man got out of the vehicle, wearing big sunglasses, with a camel-colored coat hanging on his arm. He handed his suitcase to a bellboy who quickly approached, whispering something.

Witnessing this scene, Wen Xin, who had been feeling cold-hearted, suddenly became excited. She didn’t even say goodbye to Luo Qiete as she quickly grabbed her backpack, jumped out of the car, and ran toward Mu Chengxi.

When Wen Xin was about to reach Mu Chengxi, he seemed to sense someone approaching from behind and turned around just in time to see Wen Xin running towards him.

At the sight of her, a look of indulgence and surprise flashed in his eyes. He had come to surprise Wen Xin, never expecting to encounter her outside the hotel.

He opened his long arms, waiting for Wen Xin to throw herself into his embrace.

Seated in the car, Luo Qiete’s gaze remained fixed on Wen Xin. When he saw Wen Xin plunge into a man’s arms, a place in his heart felt as if it had shattered.

He had thought that a girl as outstanding as Wen Xin must already be taken, but he had never imagined that her boyfriend would be him…

Wen Xin clung tightly to Mu Chengxi, her legs wrapped around his waist as if she was a koala hanging off Mu Chengxi.

Neither of their mouths was idle; right there in the public eye, they passionately kissed without any reservation.

There were many people coming and going in front of the hotel, and passersby couldn’t help but stare at the couple with the strikingly good looks.

When the kissing stopped, Wen Xin’s rationality returned. She struggled, trying to get down from Mu Chengxi, but he just gave her a faint smile, his hands supporting her bottom with no intention of letting her go. Carrying her, he walked straight into the hotel.

Back in the hotel room, Wen Xin cupped Mu Chengxi’s cheeks, touching her forehead to his as she looked into his eyes, now filled with desire.

“Little ancestor, I missed you, missed you so much…” Mu Chengxi watched Wen Xin with deep feeling, his beautiful eyelashes trembling involuntarily.

“I… I’ll go take a shower first…” Wen Xin, looking into Mu Chengxi’s eyes, felt a desire to flee…

“No rush, wait until it’s all over, we’ll shower together!”

Mu Chengxi gave Wen Xin no chance to escape, carrying her straight to the hotel’s soft bed, with both tumbling onto it…

…

Late at night, Wen Xin lazily sprawled on the bed while Mu Chengxi, holding a plate of pasta, fed her bite after bite.

“I can’t eat any more.” As Mu Chengxi attempted to stuff another forkful of pasta into Wen Xin’s mouth, she quickly grabbed his wrist, stopping him.

Mu Chengxi glanced at the pasta on the plate, thinking Wen Xin had eaten quite a bit already, so he didn’t insist she continue.

Setting aside the plate, he picked up a glass of milk and, wrapping his arms around Wen Xin, helped her sit up to drink the milk.

After drinking the milk, Wen Xin found a comfortable position on the bed to alleviate the near-disassembling sensation.

“How did you end up appearing suddenly in P City?”

“I missed you, so I came to see you. I was tired of the time difference and being busy all day, not being able to properly hear your voice or hold you, so I came to see you.”

As he spoke, Mu Chengxi pulled back the blanket on Wen Xin and slipped under it with her, his movements gentle as he encircled her waist with his calloused fingers, tenderly exploring Wen Xin’s smooth skin…

“You’ve had your fill, so now it’s my turn… I haven’t had enough yet…”

Mu Chengxi lay on Wen Xin’s shoulder, deliberately making himself heavier, his scorching breath seemingly about to melt Wen Xin…
