Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After Wen Xin was full, she put down her chopsticks. Her gaze fell on Liang Luoyu, who was helping Tan Xingyue with her food. What was going on with this dog?
Take care of his sister? Are you trying to fool me?
She placed her hand on the table and casually played with the knife and fork beside her. Her gaze was fixed on Liang Luoyu.
Mu Chengxi put down his chopsticks after he was full. He elegantly took a napkin and wiped the corner of his mouth. His gaze fell on Wen Xin’s hand playing with a knife. He then raised his head and looked in Wen Xin’s direction.
After watching for a while, he reached out and held Wen Xin’s hand, stopping her from throwing the flying knife.
Retracting her gaze, Wen Xin glanced at the hand pressing down her hand. She turned her head and raised an eyebrow at Mu Chengxi.
Looking at Wen Xin’s devilish expression, he could already guess what she was thinking. He curled his lips into a smile, bent down, and whispered into her ear, “I’ll warn him to restrain himself when we get back!”
After getting a satisfactory answer, Wen Xin pulled her hand away from Mu Chengxi’s and casually threw the knife on the table. However, the anger on her face did not dissipate.
The sudden noise made the others who were eating raise their heads. They looked in Wen Xin’s direction and saw she had a cold and unhappy expression on her face while Mu Chengxi looked at her gently and dotingly. There was an indescribable smile on the corner of his mouth.
Mu Dong put down his chopsticks and looked at the two of them. He thought to himself that Miss Wen’s temper was worse than his Master Xi’s. He wondered how Master Xi had provoked Miss Wen.
After everyone finished eating, Wen Xin looked at the time. It was still early, so she could still go to the supermarket for a walk.
Wen Xin stood up and looked at the motionless Mu Chengxi, who was lazily sitting in the chair. She knew that Mu Chengxi was silently expressing his discontent towards her, unhappy that she hadn’t believed him regarding Wei Shisheng earlier.
“Ha…” Wen Xin chuckled and extended his hand to Mu Chengxi. “I’m going to the supermarket to Duy something. DO you want to come with me or ao you want to go back and rest?”
“I’ll go shopping with you. You want to stay on campus?”
When he saw Wen Xin take the initiative to reach out to him, Mu Chengxi swiftly grabbed Wen Xin’s slender, cold hand and casually stood up.
Mu Chengxi had a house in Ice City. When Wen Xin was preparing to go to school, Mu Chengxi gave her the door card and password. He never thought that Wen Xin would live on campus.
“Living on campus is pretty good.” Wen Xin looked at Tan Xingyue, who was sitting in a wheelchair, and smiled gently. Tan Xingyue needed to interact more with her classmates, so she was doing quite well in school.
Mu Chengxi seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Wen Xin’s answer. He held Wen Xin’s hand and gently pinched her fingertips. “Then I will miss you. Do I have to go to school to see you?”
Her unabashed words made everyone in the room raise their heads to look at him. He only looked at Wen Xin with deep affection and did not feel that there was anything wrong with what he said.
“I can accompany you out for dinner occasionally!”
Wen Xin raised an eyebrow at Mu Chengxi. Since he was willing to make their relationship clear, she would naturally cooperate. After all, dating was a two-way thing, so there was no need to hide it.
The smile on Mu Chengxi’s face deepened when he got a satisfactory answer. He restrained the impulse in his heart and pulled Wen Xin to his side.
The group walked out of the private room. Wen Xin was held by Mu Chengxi’s hand and walked at the back. When no one was paying attention, Mu Chengxi lowered his head and gently kissed Wen Xin on the cheek. His voice was low and soft. “I don’t really want you to live on campus.”
Hearing Mu Chengxi’s complaint, Wen Xin turned to look at him. She mimicked Mu Chengxi’s actions and squeezed his large hand. She deliberately lowered her voice. “Mr. Mu, I’m only a little over eighteen years old. It’s not suitable for us to live together!”
Mu Chengxi looked at Wen Xin’s stern face as she warned him. He raised his hand to touch her ear and looked at Wen Xin with a frivolous expression. “We can live separately. I’ll be happy if you’re under my watch.”
Wen Xin looked at Mu Chengxi, who had the expression of a playboy, and gently poked his shoulder with her finger. “Young Marshal Mu, you should restrain yourself, lest you attract a peach blossom!”
Wen Xin had already heard people around them whispering about Mu Chengxi. She didn’t like her possessions being the subject of discussion, especially by men.
At that moment, a group of people walked out of the restaurant’s private elevator. At the front were Old Madam Zhao and Old Madam Geng. Behind them were Geng Shikui, Su Li, and the Zhao couple. It seemed like the Geng and Zhao families were having a dinner today.
“Sister Liang, my little Qiu will be participating in the piano competition at the end of the month. She is the personal disciple of the piano master, Lapor. know you like the piano master, Lapor, so I especially saved a few tickets for you.”
Old Lady Geng walked beside Old Lady Zhao and spoke with a fawning expression.
She wanted to take advantage of the piano competition to get the Zhao family to bring forward Geng Qiu and Zhao Yuzheng’s engagement. She wanted to invite Old Madam Zhao to watch the competition. She would definitely give Geng Qiu extra points!
At this moment, Old Madam Zhao’s mind was not on this. Her eyes were drawn by a familiar figure.
“Little Xin!” Old Madam Zhao shook off Old Madam Geng’s arm that was supporting her and quickly walked to Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi. She could not help but feel surprised when she saw Mu Chengxi beside Wen Xin.
“Young Marshal Mu is here too?”
Mu Chengxi did not expect to meet Old Madam Zhao here. He had only asked Liang Luoyu to send the gifts to the Zhao family and did not personally visit to thank her.
Having the opportunity to meet Old Madam Zhao, his attitude became more respectful. “Old Madam…’
“How’s your grandmother’s health? I heard that she’s recovered quite well in the past three months. “Old Madam Zhao originally wanted to talk to Wen Xin, but since she met Mu Chengxi here, she first asked about her old friend’s health.
“Grandma will recover, thanks to the doctor recommended by the old madam. Grandma often says that she will come over to thank you personally when she has time!”
Mu Chengxi spoke politely and humbly. His upbringing, engraved in his bones, allowed him to treat his elders with ease.
“Yeah, it’s good to come to Ice City when you have time. The air in Ice City is especially good!” Hearing that her best friend had recovered, Old Madam Zhao was in a particularly good mood.
She looked at Wen Xin, who was standing obediently at the side, and reached out to hold Wen Xin’s small hand. “Why didn’t you tell me that you were going to school? Yuyao called me in the afternoon and said that he saw you at school. I heard about what happened at school from Yuyao. I’ll settle this matter!”
Old Madam Zhao had originally wanted to use dinner to bring up this matter, but she was worried that it would deepen the resentment in Geng Qiu’s heart and affect Wen Xin even more, so she did not know how to bring it up.
“No need, it’s just a small matter, and I didn’t pay much attention to it. If she likes to fuss, let her be!” Wen Xin chuckled nonchalantly. She didn’t care about such trivial matters. She was waiting for Geng Qiu to push her too far, and then she would take action. That would be more efficient..
