Chapter 892 - 890: With You, I Have a Home

“Because Xiao Mi said he’s the man behind Wen Yunuo…”

Wen Xin rested her head on Mu Chengxi’s shoulder, letting out a sigh of resignation. She really didn’t want to pierce that window paper so soon, but ever since she learned about that matter, her entire train of thought became complex.

In that short hour, she had thought of many unfortunate possibilities, like what if he belonged to Independent State, what if he harmed grandma, what if…

Within that brief moment, Wen Xin panicked…

“It’s okay, don’t be afraid, I’m here. I’ve already spoken with grandma, and after we get engaged, she’ll return to the sanitarium, so her safety won’t be a concern then.”

The worries that Wen Xin had, Mu Chengxi had also considered them, even more so. He knew that when it came time to strike at the Mu family, it would definitely be a fierce battle, and he didn’t want his grandmother to worry about it. Therefore, the best solution was to send her away from Beijing.

With Mu Chengxi’s words, the tension that had gripped Wen Xin eased significantly. She lifted her head from his embrace and looked into Mu Chengxi’s dark, deep eyes.

“Didn’t I tell you to rest well at home? Why did you run over here again?”

Seeing Wen Xin with slightly reddened eyes and a look of grievance on her face, Mu Chengxi let out a light sigh, “How could I possibly leave you alone with peace of mind?”

“I know you’re reluctant to face your foster father, but there are things we can’t avoid, so the only choice I have is to face them with you. How could I be at ease leaving you alone?”

“All right, it’s getting late. I’m going to take a shower, and we should get some rest early. There’s a lot to do tomorrow, and you’re the main character, so you need to be in good spirits.”

Saying this, Mu Chengxi walked with Wen Xin in his arms into the bathroom…

Mr. Jiang returned to his room, taking out an old-looking photograph from his wallet and gently stroking it with his finger.

“Ah, your daughter has grown up, but her temper is just like yours—I don’t even know how best to protect her.”

“I hope she can grow up and do what she wants, but I worry more that she’ll end up hurt all over in the end…”

“I’m really afraid that someday if something happens to her, I won’t be able to face you…”

Mr. Jiang looked at the blurry figure in the photograph and sighed softly, “If you’re worried about her, then please protect her well, so that whatever happens, the end result will be perfect, I guess!”

“Tomorrow is the day she gets engaged to the Mu family’s young master. In my eyes, that lad isn’t bad; at least he’s sincere towards her. I feel at ease entrusting Xin’er to him, and I hope you are too, and that you’ll bless them well.”

…

In the early morning, Wen Xin opened her eyes and looked around the room. Mu Chengxi was no longer there. She stretched lazily in bed, yawning contentedly.

Just then, the door was pushed open from outside, and Xiao Mi’s pretty little face appeared at the doorway. Wen Xin half-squinted at Xiao Mi’s movements.

Noticing that Wen Xin on the bed was awake, Xiao Mi pushed the door open and entered, walking over to Wen Xin’s bed without any ceremony and lying down beside her.

“I haven’t had the chance to truly enjoy the time spent with you, and you are getting engaged now. I don’t really have anything to give you, so I’ll give you a little gift to express my blessings to you!”

As she spoke, Xiao Mi mysteriously pulled out a small wooden box from the pocket of her pajamas and placed it on Wen Xin’s pillow.

Wen Xin looked at the box Xiao Mi had put down with some curiosity, raised her eyebrows at Xiao Mi, then turned over and lay on the bed, playing with the small box that wasn’t very large.

“What is this? Given your net worth, this must be quite valuable, right?”

Wen Xin’s beautiful eyes looked at Xiao Mi with a greedy expression. Ever since she knew about Xiao Mi’s identity, she found it ridiculous that she had once thought Xiao Mi would be short of money.

“Can you tone it down a bit? As the young master of the Chou League, would you be short of money? You don’t need to be so obviously greedy. My things might not be very valuable, but they’re definitely impressive!”

While talking, Xiao Mi noticed the ring on Wen Xin’s hand. She grabbed Wen Xin’s hand excitedly and couldn’t help exclaiming, “Holy shit, that ring of yours… Compared to the face of your ring, my gift really isn’t worth much.”

Xiao Mi had intended to give a more presentable gift, but seeing Wen Xin’s ring, she felt her own standards were far too high. Her items simply couldn’t measure up.

Xiao Mi’s cute expression made Wen Xin laugh. She lifted her hand to gently pinch Xiao Mi’s cheek, sat up from the bed, picked up Xiao Mi’s gift to play with it, and hadn’t intended to open it.

Seeing Wen Xin’s action, Xiao Mi also sat up from the bed. She took her gift back from Wen Xin’s hands, opened the gift box, and took out a delicate, translucent diamond. She placed it in the palm of her hand and presented it to Wen Xin.

“This is my most precious possession. I was keeping it for myself, but I really couldn’t find a gift worthy of you. So I decided to give it to you, my most beloved sister.”

As Xiao Mi uttered the last few words, tears brimmed in her eyes unwittingly. She had never imagined that one day she would find her family and return to the embrace of her kin.

But Wen Xin’s arrival was redemption for her. Although it might have been a little late, she was grateful that Wen Xin had found her and brought her home.

Seeing the tears in Xiao Mi’s eyes, Wen Xin reached out her arms and hugged Xiao Mi, holding her in her embrace.

“I started to regret it the moment I knew you had witnessed me going to save Wen Huai. I was thinking, if I had been a bit more insistent, a bit more determined, and had taken you out of that place with me, perhaps you would have had a different life?”

“I’m sorry, I was just a bit too late, and that made you suffer so much.”

While Wen Xin held Xiao Mi, Xiao Mi shook her head frantically in Wen Xin’s embrace. “It’s not like that. I’m glad you didn’t take me away at that time, and I’m even more grateful that I pulled you out of the icy water. Otherwise, living in a home without parents or you, that would be the greatest pain for us.”

Xiao Mi hugged Wen Xin tightly and sobbed. Each time she thought about this matter, she was grateful that she had saved Wen Xin…

Listening to Xiao Mi’s crying, Wen Xin couldn’t hold back anymore, and the tears pooled in her eyes slid down.

In one moment, she finally understood the words her mother had said as she was stuffed into the back seat of the car.

“Xin’er, my darling, you must live well and survive. Only if you are alive, can your younger brothers and sisters have a chance to survive, can they have their home. You will be their support and the only person they can trust in the future.”

Wen Xin lifted her head and looked towards the door, as if she saw her parents gently smiling at her…
