Chapter 922: 920

Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi walked into Old Madam Mu’s courtyard, and Wei Manqing, hearing the sound of the gate opening, ran out of her room. Seeing Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi return safely, she felt a sudden tingling in her nose and was overwhelmed with a desire to cry.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Mu Chengxi, holding Wen Xin’s hand, approached Wei Manqing just as Mu Jinyan was conveniently coming out of Old Madam’s room with Wei Manqing’s coat.

Mu Jinyan walked over to Wei Manqing, draped the coat over her shoulders, and hugged her gently, soothing her in a calm voice, “It’s alright, don’t cry. Haven’t the kids come back safely?”

“It’s just that I was worried. With such a sudden incident, who wouldn’t be? Xin girl, let mom check if you are hurt!”

Wei Manqing pulled away from Mu Jinyan’s embrace and walked over to Wen Xin, examining her up and down as she held her hand, wanting to check if Wen Xin was injured.

Wen Xin was shocked by Wei Manqing’s use of “mom” and was unsure how to respond or how to address Wei Manqing.

Seeing Wen Xin’s dazed expression, Wei Manqing grew even more anxious. She thought Wen Xin was scared by today’s events and, feeling pity, hugged her and gently patted her back.

“Don’t be afraid. No matter what happens, don’t be scared. You have Chengxi, you have us, and you have the Mu family. Rest assured, we will all protect you well. Don’t be scared!”

Wei Manqing’s tone was gentle and tender; she truly loved Wen Xin as her own daughter.

Standing by, Mu Chengxi, seeing how Wei Manqing cared for Wen Xin, stepped forward and gently tugged on Wei Manqing’s arm, reminding her, “Mom, you’re scaring her.”

Upon hearing Mu Chengxi’s words, Wei Manqing realized she might have been too emotional and let go of Wen Xin, smiling gently at her.

“I’m sorry if I was too emotional. Did I scare you?”

“No.”

Wen Xin looked at Wei Manqing, who was being extremely careful, and smiled tenderly. She reached out and held Wei Manqing’s hand, speaking gently.

“You didn’t scare me. It’s just that I’ve never experienced a mother’s care before. I was just a bit bewildered. I am not hurt; everything is fine. You don’t have to worry.”

“That’s good, that’s good. Your arm hasn’t healed yet, and then this incident happened. How could I not be worried? Alright, let’s go inside. Your grandma is waiting for you.”

With her gaze soft, Wei Manqing felt tremendously relieved to know Wen Xin was unharmed. She carefully let go of Wen Xin’s arm, not daring to pull too hard.

“You still need to take care of your arm. Come on, let’s go inside and see your grandma.”

Wei Manqing glanced at Mu Chengxi and signaled for him to take Wen Xin inside, feeling momentarily unsure of where to touch Wen Xin without hurting her.

Mu Chengxi, noticing his mother’s awkwardness, flashed a gentle smile and stepped forward, wrapping his arm around Wen Xin as they walked towards Old Madam’s room.

As Mu Chengxi and Wen Xin entered the room, Old Madam Mu suddenly stood up from her chair, her tone anxious as she spoke to Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi, “Quick, quick, come in. Let me see if you’re hurt…”

Mu Chengxi let go of Wen Xin and gently pushed on her waist, urging her to go first.

Wen Xin knew that Mu Chengxi wanted to hide the injury on his hand. She stepped forward, held Old Madam Mu’s arm, and helped her sit down on the chair.

“These past few days have worried Grandma. We are all fine, nothing’s wrong!”

Wen Xin sat down beside Old Madam Mu, following her movements, and looked very well-behaved.

Old Madam Mu turned to look at Wen Xin, sizing her up several times, and only relaxed when she was sure Wen Xin was unharmed.

“It’s good that you’re fine, it’s good. Grandma just wanted to settle your matters but didn’t expect such a thing to happen. It might also be my negligence, not having arranged the security properly, which gave others the opportunity to take advantage.”

Looking at Wen Xin, Old Madam Mu’s face was full of guilt. She felt it was her fault for not managing the banquet well, which led to many problems.

Listening to Old Madam Mu blaming herself, Wen Xin hugged her shoulders and gently rubbed her cheek against Old Madam Mu’s.

“Grandma, this has nothing to do with you. It’s our own trouble that we stirred up; you shouldn’t worry about us.”

“But now the trouble is already resolved. You can rest assured, Grandma, I’m safely back now.”

While talking to Old Madam Mu, Wen Xin placed her fingers on Old Madam Mu’s wrist to check on her health, only relaxing when she was sure Old Madam Mu was alright.

Old Madam Mu, seeing Wen Xin trying to please her, raised her hand and gently patted Wen Xin’s shoulder.

“Alright, you are the most considerate girl. Now that you are back safely, Grandma is relieved. I’ve asked the kitchen to prepare pig’s feet noodles for you. After eating, go rest well. We can talk more tomorrow!”

Old Madam Mu’s gaze was filled with affection when she looked at Wen Xin. She thought to herself that she must spoil Wen Xin, such an adorable girl, to the skies.

Standing aside, Mu Chengxi watched the interaction between Wen Xin and Old Madam Mu and felt inexplicably reassured, as if such a life is what he looked forward to in the future.

Early the next morning, before Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi were fully awake, they heard a noisy chattering outside. Mu Chengxi irritably covered his head with the blanket, at the same time pulling Wen Xin into his embrace.

Just at that moment, Wen Xin’s phone suddenly rang. Wen Xin gently nudged Mu Chengxi’s shoulder, signaling for him to let her go so she could answer the phone.

Still irritated, Mu Chengxi threw off the blanket and looked at Wen Xin, who was still patting his shoulder, somewhat reluctantly.

“I’m not even awake yet,” Mu Chengxi said in a hoarse, somewhat lazy tone, which sounded somewhat tempting to Wen Xin.

At this point, Wen Xin completely ignored the vibrating phone behind her. She held Mu Chengxi’s cheeks in her hands, slowly leaned in, and softly pressed her lips against his.

As their lips met, Mu Chengxi embraced Wen Xin tightly, and what happened next was beyond their control…

In the living room, Liang Luoyu looked at Mu Dong preparing breakfast and raised an eyebrow, “Master Xi has always had a regular schedule. When did he start indulging himself like this?”

Hearing Liang Luoyu’s remark, Mu Bei placed the items in his hands on the seat and smiled faintly at Liang Luoyu, “I dare not say much, but ever since Master Xi met Miss Wen, what seemed impossible has become possible. You’ll find out more in the future.”
