Chapter 845: Chapter 843 I Am Willing to Hide for You
After chatting casually for a while, the people who had been drinking wrapped up and began to gather again, planning to switch locations to have some fun, their gazes finally landing on Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi.
“Master Xi, Miss Wen, you don’t often participate in gatherings here in Beijing, so how about we all go out and have some fun?”
“No thanks, she’s not in the right condition to be running around right now. You guys go have fun—I’ll pick up the tab.”
Mu Chengxi, holding Wen Xin’s coat, stood up from the sofa and considerately helped her put it on.
The crowd couldn’t believe their eyes at this scene. They all knew Mu Chengxi was good to Wen Xin, but such condescending acts did not seem like something Mu Chengxi would do.
After dressing Wen Xin, Mu Chengxi very naturally slung her backpack over his shoulder and took her uninjured hand, their fingers interlocking.
“We’ll be heading back then.” Having said this, Mu Chengxi held Wen Xin’s hand and led her out of the private room.
Perhaps because it had been a long time since everyone had gathered like this, they almost couldn’t believe what they were seeing.
“Holy shit, am I blind? What did I just see? Since when is Master Xi so tender? It’s like a deity descending to the mortal world!”
Listening to their surprised exclamations, Ling Yichen and Gu Yanzhe exchanged a knowing look.
“Our Master Xi fell to the mortal realm the day he met Miss Wen. What did you guys think? Why do you think he hasn’t been joining us for meals? It’s all because he’s been busy accompanying Miss Wen.”
Ling Yichen, seeing the astonished expressions on everyone’s faces, spoke with a noble tone, his voice carrying a hint of jest.
He casually picked up a pack of cigarettes from the table, knocked one out, placed it between his lips, lit it, then stood up and motioned for everyone to leave together.
“Let’s go, it’s rare that we’re out, and since Master Xi is covering, no one hold back!”
When Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi came out of the club, Mu Bei’s car was already waiting outside. Seeing Wen Xin, Mu Bei couldn’t help but show his surprise before politely greeting her, “Miss Wen.”
Wen Xin looked at Mu Bei indifferently and responded lightly, then followed Mu Chengxi to the car. Mu Chengxi opened the car door for her, and he got in very smoothly, with Mu Chengxi going around to the other side to get in.
Sitting in the car, Mu Chengxi leaned over to Wen Xin and kissed her without a second thought, but the next second, he furrowed his brows and released her.
“You’ve been smoking.”
The words Mu Chengxi spoke were not a question but a firm statement. He was certain there was a hint of smoke in Wen Xin’s breath.
In the dark car, Mu Chengxi couldn’t clearly see Wen Xin’s expression. He raised his hand and turned on the overhead light, his hand gently pinching her chin, his brow slightly furrowed.
“You smoked…”
Wen Xin’s bright eyes directly met Mu Chengxi’s slightly angry ones without any evasion, and she responded softly.
“Yes, I smoked.”
Wen Xin’s voice was very faint, so faint that only Mu Chengxi heard her affirmative reply, and it was this indifferent attitude that infuriated Mu Chengxi.
Without any hesitation, Mu Chengxi kissed Wen Xin’s red lips directly, seemingly wanting to erase the taste of smoke from her lips with a kiss.
Mu Chengxi’s kiss was intense, leaving no room for Wen Xin to refuse. The domineering kiss immersed her completely.
After the kiss ended, Wen Xin lay lazily on Mu Chengxi’s chest, looking up at the somewhat relaxed expression on his face.
“You should know that I’m not exactly a good girl by nature. It’s not like I don’t know how to smoke or drink, but… by your side, I am willing to restrain myself,” she said.
Wen Xin raised her body slightly and gently bit Mu Chengxi’s chin, her mood was quite good today, willing to tease Mu Chengxi a bit.
Mu Chengxi, teased by Wen Xin, looked at her lively and charming demeanor and smiled gently. He was still a bit angry earlier, but hearing that she was willing to restrain herself for him, his heart involuntarily skipped a beat.
However, this did not prevent Mu Chengxi from inquiring why Wen Xin was here.
“Why are you here? Didn’t grandma tell you to go back to the old house for dinner?” Mu Chengxi said, wrapping his arms around Wen Xin, allowing her to lie in a more comfortable position in his embrace.
Probably guessing that Mu Chengxi would ask her this question, Wen Xin didn’t resist much, “People from M region came over, hoping I could find time to visit, but I refused. I’m very busy at the moment, the issue with Xiao Mi hasn’t been resolved yet.”
Mu Chengxi held Wen Xin, his fingers gently massaging her earlobe, and did not pursue the matter about the M region further. He knew that if Wen Xin wanted to talk about it, she would tell him.
By the time the car stopped in the underground garage, Wen Xin had already fallen asleep in Mu Chengxi’s arms.
Mu Chengxi, looking down at Wen Xin, unwittingly fell into a reverie, wondering if meeting her earlier would have spared him from living such a hard life.
The truth was she didn’t ask for much; if he had the capabilities when he met Wen Xin before she was taken back home by the Geng family, maybe she wouldn’t have had to go through so much suffering…
Alas, there are no ‘ifs’…
And now he would cherish her twice as much.
Mu Chengxi got out of the car, his movements gentle as he lifted Wen Xin from the vehicle, cradling her as if she were his entire world. The cherished feeling made others envious.
“Do you see that? That’s the man you’ve been longing for, yet he only shows such tenderness towards Wen Xin. Are you content to let Mu Chengxi swallow up the power of F region and willingly go from being a count’s little princess to a homeless person?”
Wen Yunuo sat in the car, watching Mu Chengxi carry Wen Xin away. As he spoke, he didn’t forget to harshly poke at the girl beside him, enjoying the sight of a woman losing her rationality in jealousy.
“There’s no need for you to stir things up here. Mu Chengxi’s power in F region is even stronger than you think. If you came to me just to trip up Mu Chengxi, then you are mistaken; Mu Chengxi has no regard for me, he completely disdains dealing with me,” she said.
The girl sat in the car, sadness shining through her brown eyes. If only Mu Chengxi would glance at her once more, she would also like to believe that he could fancy her.
But the reality was so cruel; Mu Chengxi’s eyes held no trace of her existence. Even if she wasn’t afraid of offending him and drugged him, the outcome was that he overcame it with his strong will, and she fell into an abyss.
Having gone through so much, she was no longer the love-struck young girl she once was, and this time, she was willing to cooperate with the Wen family merely for a slice of the desirable Beijing territory.
