Chapter 884: 882: Your Beauty is Etched at the Tip of My Heart

Wen Xin proactively invited Mr. Jiang to return to her home since the airport was full of people, creating a chaotic situation where it would be inconvenient to take action if something happened.

Listening to Wen Xin’s suggestion, Mr. Jiang also looked up to survey their surroundings, then gave Wen Xin a slight nod in response.

“Alright, let’s head back to the Wen residence first. Are you living at the Wen residence now?”

“No, I’m living at his place,” Wen Xin admitted without any concealment that she was already cohabitating with Mu Chengxi, feeling that there was no necessity to lie about such a matter.

Hearing that Wen Xin was already cohabitating with Mu Chengxi, Mr. Jiang’s expression darkened suddenly, he glared at Mu Chengxi and started, “Do you know how old she is? You just let her…”

Mr. Jiang’s speech halted midway, but the anger on his face showed no sign of subsiding, his veins visibly bulging with tension.

“Foster father, he surely knows how old I am, and besides… it was me who initiated it. It’s not his fault at all!”

Wen Xin quickly positioned herself in front of Mu Chengxi, taking all the blame onto herself and not giving Mu Chengxi a chance to speak.

Mu Chengxi, holding Wen Xin’s arm, wanted to say something, but Wen Xin cut him off directly, not allowing him the opportunity to speak.

“That’s enough, don’t defend him. Do you think I’m unaware of your little schemes? But if he’s caught your eye, I trust your judgment. Remember my words, I’m your backup. If one day you find yourself mistreated, don’t blame your foster father for not showing mercy!”

Mr. Jiang, looking ferociously at Mu Chengxi, spoke gravely, making it clear to Mu Chengxi that this was no joke; he was dead serious!

“Of course, with my foster father around, who dares to bully me. Let’s head home now!”

With that, Wen Xin pulled Mu Chengxi along and followed Mr. Jiang out of the airport.

Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi didn’t share a car with Mr. Jiang. Mu Chengxi drove, glancing at Wen Xin who sat beside him. He hesitated for a moment before speaking slowly.

“What do you think about your foster father’s affection for you? How much of it is genuine?”

Upon hearing Mu Chengxi’s question, Wen Xin, who had been looking down at her phone, suddenly lifted her head to look at Mu Chengxi and then let out a light smile.

“How much he really cares, I don’t know. All I know is that he was very close to my parents. I found out about him from my parents’ relics, and had to seek him out for the sake of revenge.”

“But I can be sure that he has been quite good to me, taught me a lot of things. Although it’s been a tough journey, I’ve made it through.”

“Also, he handed the Chou League over to me completely. It’s just that those people are dissatisfied, perhaps because I haven’t devoted myself fully to managing the affairs of the Chou League.”

“However, that’s not important to me. In fact, I didn’t really want the Chou League. I took control of it just to facilitate my plans.”

Wen Xin said this while looking at Mu Chengxi’s profile, and she couldn’t help but chuckle softly, “I’ve realized that you’ve truly grown on me aesthetically; otherwise, I might still retain some sense.”

After Wen Xin’s words, Mu Chengxi came to a stop at a red light intersection, turned his head to look at Wen Xin, and flashed a rascally smile.

“What’s the matter? Been together with me for so long and now starting to feel sentimental? Let me tell you, my little ancestor, you’re mine now, and you won’t be able to escape in this lifetime!”

Mu Chengxi took advantage of a red light to lean down and gently kiss Wen Xin before quickly pulling away.

Wen Xin watched Mu Chengxi’s handsome cheek, smiled faintly, then leaned in and planted a kiss on his cheek.

The car stopped outside the Wen family villa, and Butler Wen, seeing the car outside, hurried out. Upon noticing Mu Chengxi’s car, he ran over.

“The young miss and Mr. Mu are back…”

“Yes, and I’ve brought a distinguished guest with me. Please, Butler, arrange a few rooms, and set one up on the second floor.”

Wen Xin considered for a moment, with Wen Huai and Xiao Mi living on the third floor, arranging Mr. Jiang’s room on the second floor was most suitable.

Upon hearing Wen Xin’s arrangements, the butler immediately assented and hurried back into the villa to organize everything.

At this moment, Mr. Jiang had just alighted from the car. Seeing the butler’s retreating figure, he wore a complex expression as he approached Wen Xin and began to speak in a gentle tone.

“I remember the last time I visited, he was a man in his thirties, and now he’s of the same age as well. Truly, it has been a long absence; things are not as they were.”

As Wen Xin listened to Mr. Jiang’s rambling, he turned his head to look at Mr. Jiang and raised an eyebrow faintly.

“Indeed, time flies so quickly. Years have passed in the blink of an eye, but luckily, Uncle Wen has always been here, helping to guard this home. With him here, my home continues to stand.”

Wen Xin had never spoken such words of praise to Butler Wen, but he was truly grateful in his heart for Butler Wen’s protection of the family home.

“Alright, foster father, now is not the time to feel sentimental. Let’s go inside and talk,” Wen Xin gestured invitingly to Mr. Jiang, urging him to go ahead.

Mr. Jiang entered the Wen villa and, seeing the portraits of the Wen couple on the wall, walked up and respectfully bowed to them.

Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi stood still, watching Mr. Jiang’s actions with indescribable feelings. Wen Xin felt as though she couldn’t completely see through Mr. Jiang’s actions anymore.

Just then, the butler descended from the upstairs, and upon seeing Mr. Jiang devoutly paying respects to the Wen couple, paused in slight astonishment before stopping beside the stairs.

Wen Xin heard the noise from the stairway and looked up at Butler Wen, beckoning him, “Butler Wen, do you remember him? He is…”

“Mr. Jiang, it’s been a long time!” Butler Wen walked step by step down the stairs, arriving beside Mr. Jiang, and bowed respectfully.

“Young miss, if it weren’t for Mr. Jiang’s assistance, the laboratory could not possibly have been saved. It was Mr. Jiang who brought people over at the critical moment, snatched the laboratory from those people’s hands, and handed it to Mr. Ma. Otherwise…”

Butler Wen’s voice trailed off with a resigned sigh.

Having personally experienced those chaotic and complex events, he was acutely aware of who had been gracious to them, and he also knew who had destroyed the research results of the laboratory.

Wen Xin was unaware of what had happened at the time. As she heard the butler recount these events, she couldn’t help but be taken aback. She felt even more confused now; her rationality was no longer sufficient. She was completely unable to analyze with normal thinking whether her foster father was a good person or… a bad person.
