Chapter 901 - 899: From Urging Marriage to Urging Pregnancy…

Mu Chengxi listened to Wei Yi’s ridicule without much of a reaction, his face still displaying a gentleman’s smile.

“If grandfather thinks so of me, there’s nothing I can do.”

Mu Chengxi turned his head to look at Old Madam Mu, his gaze filled with an indescribable tenderness.

“Grandma, many people have come to the banquet, and there are quite a few who wish to visit you. How about letting Wen Xin stroll with you!”

Old Madam Mu looked into Mu Chengxi’s eyes with a trace of doubt, but she still complied with his words and stood up, extending her hand to Wen Xin.

“Since that’s the case, then let Little Xin Xin accompany me for a stroll. Along the way, hehe, I can introduce Little Xin Xin to those people.”

Seeing that Old Madam Mu didn’t refuse, Wen Xin also quickly stood up, took Old Madam Mu’s arm, and left the resting room with her.

Upon leaving the resting room, Old Madam Mu had initially intended to take Wen Xin in the direction of the venue, but Wen Xin took hold of her arm. Wen Xin whispered into Old Madam Mu’s ear.

“Grandma, Chengxi wanted to find an excuse for you to leave that place. I’ve seen how tired you’ve been these past days. Let me take you back to rest!”

Old Madam Mu looked at Wen Xin and instantly understood the meaning in her words. She gently patted the hand Wen Xin was holding and softly agreed, then left the banquet hall together with Wen Xin.

On the way back, Old Madam Mu spoke in a gentle tone, “Actually, your grandfather might not be a bad person. He did indeed have a close relationship with Independent State for the growth of the Wei family.”

“But after the lab incident, when Mu Chengxi left Beijing, your grandfather had already retired. His harsh words this time are probably because he has high hopes for Mu Chengxi; otherwise, he wouldn’t have said such unpleasant things.”

Old Madam Mu had just wanted to refute Wei’s elder’s words, but now, facing the reality at hand, she worried that her speaking up might affect Mu Chengxi’s plans.

Wen Xin listened to Old Madam Mu’s explanation and just smiled gently. She did not speak on Mu Chengxi’s behalf because she wasn’t entirely clear about his plans, so she felt she had no right to speak. She always believed that Mu Chengxi had his own decisions.

Not hearing a response from Wen Xin, Old Madam Mu looked up at her, her eyes full of appreciation. She increasingly felt that Mu Chengxi was fortunate to have a woman like Wen Xin for a wife.

After escorting Old Madam Mu back to the banquet hall, Auntie Fu just happened to have prepared a late-night snack for Old Madam Mu. Seeing Wen Xin return with Old Madam Mu, she was somewhat surprised.

“Why have Old Madam and the young mistress returned so soon? Did something happen at the banquet? Has it ended?”

“No, Xin Xin and Chengxi were worried I was too exhausted, so they asked me to come back and rest. Xin Xin, the banquet will continue for a while longer, so join me for a late-night snack before returning.”

Old Madam Mu pulled Wen Xin to sit down by the dining table, her gaze landing on Wen Xin’s slender waist, causing her to frown.

“Ever since I first met you, I felt you were not in good health. Now it seems you’re okay, but you’re too thin, which is not good. Being too thin can make pregnancy very difficult!”

After successfully pushing for the marriage, the first thing Old Madam Mu thought of was the issue of great-grandchildren. She always felt she didn’t have much time left and her greatest wish was to see Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi’s child.

Auntie Fu watched Old Madam Mu eagerly urging Wen Xin to have children and couldn’t help but smile gently.

“Old Madam, the young lady hasn’t even graduated from college yet. How can she have children so quickly? You shouldn’t put too much pressure on her. Let’s take it one step at a time!”

Upon hearing Auntie Fu’s words, the Old Madam Mu lifted her head and glared at Auntie Fu, letting out a cold huff before smilingly speaking.

“You can take it slow, but this old woman is getting on in years, so I can’t afford that leisure. I can’t wait any longer. I don’t care, I just want to see my great-grandchild as soon as possible!”

Not getting a response from Wen Xin, Old Madam Mu started to act like a spoiled child. Wen Xin watched Old Madam Mu and gave a gentle smile.

“Grandma, as long as I’m here, I’ll make sure you stay healthy and strong. Mu Chengxi and I will try our best and aim to bring your great-grandchild into the Mu family as early as possible.”

“However…”

After Wen Xin finished speaking, Old Madam Mu almost jumped up from her chair. She hadn’t expected Wen Xin to agree to her request so easily.

But when Wen Xin said ‘however,’ Old Madam’s expression involuntarily sank a bit. She had already tasted sweetness and didn’t want to hear anything potentially upsetting.

“However, Grandma, you still need to give me some time. I have matters to resolve in Independent State. Once I sort things out there, I will definitely fulfill your wish.”

Since she was engaged to Mu Chengxi, Wen Xin didn’t plan to keep the matters of Independent State hidden from Old Madam Mu. After all, knowing the full picture would allow Old Madam Mu to better protect her, and would spare them a lot of trouble.

Old Madam Mu looked at Wen Xin, her heart aching. She took hold of Wen Xin’s hand and softly patted it, unintentionally letting out a sigh.

“Little Xin Xin, from now on, you are a part of the Mu family, and you’ll be Mu Chengxi’s fiancée. Remember, whatever happens, the Mu family has your back! And, you must learn to depend on Mu Chengxi. He’s not really like what he seems on the surface…”

Old Madam Mu was about to say more, but Wen Xin promptly stopped her with a gesture for silence.

“I understand what you’re saying, Grandma. Don’t worry. He has been helping me all along, making me believe that with him, everything can be solved.”

When Wen Xin spoke of Mu Chengxi, her eyes softened. She had never doubted Mu Chengxi’s abilities and had complete faith in him.

“Ah, that’s good to hear. Now, eat something. Once you’re done, head back to the banquet hall; today is your big day.”

Old Madam Mu placed a dumpling in Wen Xin’s bowl and urged her to eat quickly. She needed to be full to handle the upcoming events.

Mu Chengxi was hosting guests at the banquet, with Ling Yichen and Gu Yanzhe following behind him, helping to intercept drinks. It was Mu Chengxi’s engagement day, and naturally, he couldn’t decline generous invitations.

Just as they were nearly finished with the guest reception, Mu Chengxu walked over and lightly tugged Mu Chengxi’s arm.

“Where’s Wen Xin? Why are you alone? I heard she was out here with Grandma. I haven’t seen them around the banquet yet.”

Mu Chengxi casually took the soda water handed over by Yuan Junye and took a sip before speaking in a calm tone.
