Chapter 166: The Little Girl Doesn’t Even Care to Perfunctory
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
” I remember the first time I saw you was when I went to the Independent Continent to pick you up. Although we arrived a little late, it was obvious that you escaped from Independent Continent.”
Chu Yunxuan was the person who knew the most about Wen Xin’s secrets, and Wen Xin was almost defenseless against her. However, every time she asked about the Independent Continent, Wen Xin would choose to keep her mouth shut.
Hearing Chu Yunxuan’s question, Wen Xin hesitated for a moment. She turned to look at the night view of Ice City outside the window and spoke in a slightly cold voice.
“The Independent State is in a mess, and I can’t explain it to you right now. I’ll tell you about Moore when I can, but it’s not convenient now.”
“Alright, alright. Hearing you say that, I don’t really want to know anymore.
Your matters are too complicated.” Chu Yunxuan hurriedly waved her hand. She didn’t want Wen Xin to reminisce about those unhappy memories. Her curiosity wasn’t that serious.
The car stopped outside Yuelu Garden. Chu Yunxuan looked at the security guard at the entrance and said, “You swipe your card. I’ll send you in.”
“No need. I can walk in myself. You send me in, and I have to send you out. It’s too troublesome. Drive slowly on the road. Remember to keep an eye on the black net for me. Also, don’t forget about Yan Qing.”
“I know, I know. I’ve already told Yan Qing what you told me. It’s just that he has a lot of objections. You have to be careful.”
Chu Yunxuan smiled faintly. At this moment, she could still think of Yan Qing expressing his dissatisfaction. It was a pity that his boss was the puppeteer. Even if he were unwilling, he would have to bite the bullet and carry out the puppeteer’s orders. There was no way to refute it.
Wen Xin jumped out of the car and waved at Chu Yunxuan before walking lazily into Yuelu District.
Wen Xin walked to Mu Chengxi’s apartment. Before she could open the door, the door was opened from the inside.
Mu Chengxi was dressed in beige home clothes. He leaned lazily against the door, as if he had been standing there for a long time.
“How long have you been waiting for me?” Wen Xin walked into the living room and casually threw her backpack on the sofa. She walked straight into the bathroom and washed her hands before coming out.
When Wen Xin came out of the bathroom, she saw hm leaning lazily against the door frame.
She frowned slightly and walked to him. She placed her freshly washed hand on his forehead. His body temperature seemed to be higher.
“Didn’t you take the medicine I gave you? Didn’t I tell you to take the medicine after dinner?”
Wen Xin withdrew her hand from his forehead and held his arm, helping him sit on the sofa.
Mu Chengxi did not say a word. He merely looked up at Wen Xin. His originally deep eyes had become a little misty due to the fever, giving him a look of being in a daze.
Wen Xin looked down at Mu Chengxi and raised an eyebrow. “Did you not eat dinner?” What about Mu Dong and the others? He left after sending you home?”
“Yes, after buying the Geng Corporation’s project, the Geng Corporation packaged the core personnel and gave them to us. Gu Yanzhe and Mu Dong went to do the handover. I wonder what Geng Zewei wants to do.”
After hearing the Geng Corporation’s plan, Mu Chengxi was also puzzled, so he asked Mu Dong and Gu Yanzhe to check the situation.
When Wen Xin heard that Mu Chengxi had not eaten, she turned and walked to the kitchen. She remembered that when Mu Chengxi cooked for her yesterday, there were many dishes in the fridge.
She took out a tomato from the fridge. Wen Xin felt that Mu Chengxi probably did not have much of an appetite and would just eat a little. She prepared to make a bowl of noodles for him.
After washing the tomatoes, Wen Xin cut them neatly and beautifully.
However, when she was about to cook the noodles, she hesitated. She did not know whether to boil the tomatoes in water or stir-fry them in oil first.
Mu Chengxi stood up from the living room and walked into the kitchen. He saw Wen Xin standing in front of the gas stove with a conflicted look, not knowing what to do.
Mu Chengxi could not help but chuckle when he saw Wen Xin’s helpless look. He walked behind Wen Xin and wrapped an arm around Wen Xin’s slender waist. He leaned against Wen Xin’s neck and blew gently.
Because the body temperature of a person with a fever was high, Mu Chengxi was like a stove. The air he blew out was warm, and Wen Xin subconsciously dodged it.
“This is my first time cooking noodles. I will try my best not to poison you. But don’t worry, even if you are poisoned, it doesn’t matter. I have medicine that can detoxify you. You will be fine!”
Wen Xin turned her head and looked at Mu Chengxi’s misty yet gentle eyes with her bright black eyes. Her determined expression wanted Mu Chengxi to believe she would not harm him. Even if there was a problem, she could solve it.
“You’re just making noodles, not doing scientific research. Why are you so nervous? Let me do it.” Mu Chengxi gently held Wen Xin’s slender waist, pulled her to the side, and began to cook the noodles himself.
Mu Chengxi skillfully turned on the gas stove and added oil, chopped green onions, and tomatoes. When the tomatoes were almost done, he added water.
As he was adding water, he looked at Wen Xin, who was standing at the side and seemed to be studying seriously. “Have you eaten?” he asked in a slightly hoarse voice. Do you want to eat more?”
“No need, Chu Yunxuan and I went to eat spicy rice noodles. When you’re better and have time, I’ll take you there.”
Wen Xin knew that a noble son like Mu Chengxi would definitely not eat at roadside stalls, so she was just being polite.
Mu Chengxi smiled faintly when he saw Wen Xin’s insincere look. He turned around and placed the flatbread into the pot.
“The little girl is getting more and more disrespectful. Even her insincere gestures have become so indifferent,” Mu Chengxi said, looking at Wen Xin, who was lounging against the fridge, with a tone of frustration.
Unable to stand Mu Chengxi’s attitude, Wen Xin rubbed her temples. “I’m not patronizing you. If you’re willing to eat, I’ll bring you.”
As she spoke, Wen Xin stood up straight and walked to Mu Chengxi’s side. He took the chopsticks from Mu Chengxi’s hands and said, “Alright, go wait outside. I’ll bring it out for you when it’s done cooking.”
The kitchen wasn’t very spacious, and there was a short distance between the two. Mu Chengxi lowered his head, gazing at Wen Xin’s fair and slender neck, her sensual collarbone, and involuntarily swallowed.
Mu Chengxi did not want to leave. He hugged Wen Xin from behind and leaned his head against Wen Xin’s neck, absorbing the coolness of Wen Xin’s body.
“Go out and wait for a while. It’s so hot!” Wen Xin felt a little hot from Mu Chengxi’s body temperature. She turned off the gas stove and nudged Mu Chengxi lightly with her elbow.
Mu Chengxi let go of her and took the bowl. “Wait for me outside. I’ll do it myself..”
