“Knock, knock, knock..”
At that moment, Zhao Honghan knocked on the door. “Chengxi, how do you use your gas stove? Your aunt is going to make some food for the two of you!” Wen Xin took advantage of Mu Chengxi’s distraction and slipped out of his arms like a fish, pushing him out of the bedroom.
After pushing Mu Chengxi out, Wen Xin closed the bathroom door. She leaned against the glass door and covered her chest with one hand. She could feel her heart beating wildly, like it was about to jump out of her chest.
After being pushed out, Mu Chengxi smiled indulgently at the door for a while. She really thought he would take advantage of her under such circumstances…
Wen Xin came out of the bathroom after the shower. Mu Chengxi had also just changed his clothes. The stubble on his face was gone, and he looked elegant again.
“Aunty has prepared some food for you to eat before you sleep.” Mu Chengxi turned around and walked into the bathroom. He took out a hairdryer and dried Wen Xin’s hair until it was 70 – 80% dry.
“Yes.” She replied lazily. Wen Xin was so exhausted that she was about to fall asleep.
It was already past four in the morning. Wen Xin looked at the pitch-black night sky outside the window. She turned and gently hugged Mu Chengxi. She leaned against his chest and listened to his rhythmic heartbeat.
“What’s wrong? Why are you suddenly so clingy!” Mu Chengxi was a little surprised that Wen Xin took the initiative to hug him. In the past, he was the one who clung to her and hugged her. It was not easy for her to take the initiative to hug him.
“It’s nothing. I just want to hug you. Let’s go out and eat something. I want to sleep.” Wen Xin did not look into Mu Chengxi’s eyes. She was afraid that she would sink into it.
When they came out, Wei Mantong and Zhao Honghan had already left. Wen Xin sat lazily on the chair and watched Chengxi serve her.
Mu Chengxi noticed Wen Xin’s hands trembling when she held the chopsticks. He picked up the spoon and began to feed Wen Xin until she swallowed the last mouthful of rice and fell asleep.
Mu Chengxi put down the bowl when he saw Wen Xin’s exhausted look. He stood up and planted a kiss on Wen Xin’s forehead. He took two tissues from the tissue box at the side and gently wiped Wen Xin’s mouth. Then, he carried Wen Xin to the bedroom.
When Wen Xin woke up, it was already the morning of the third day. Wen Xin turned over and realized she was the only one in bed. Only then did she slowly open her eyes. Her black, bright eyes were hazy from having just woke up.
Wen Xin gazed around and did not see the person she wanted to see. She laid back on the bed and closed her eyes, wondering if Mu Chengxi’s return was just a dream.
At that moment, the door opened, and Mu Chengxi walked in quietly with a gentle smile on his face. His bright, black eyes met his deep, dark ones.
Mu Chengxi placed the warm water in his hands on the side and climbed onto the bed. He hugged Wen Xin and gently rubbed his face against hers.” You’ve been sleeping for more than twenty hours. If you didn’t wake up, I was going to call the doctor!”
“I’m indeed a little too tired.”
Wen Xin pulled her arm out of the blanket and wrapped it around Mu Chengxi’s neck, rubbing his cheek against his.
Mu Chengxi was not very satisfied with this kind of initiative. His handsome face slowly approached Wen Xin, wanting to kiss her lips, which had regained some color.
Before he could touch her lips, she stopped him. Wen Xin covered her mouth and said, “I haven’t brushed my teeth yet!”
“I don’t mind!” Without waiting for Wen Xin to speak again, Mu Chengxi used his actions to tell Wen Xin that he did not mind.
The last kiss almost made them lose control. If Mu Chengxi had not braked at the last moment, Wen Xin would not have been able to get out of bed today.
Wen Xin looked at Mu Chengxi’s fleeing figure and sighed weakly. She did not know if she should be glad that Mu Chengxi had the sense to control himself, or if she should regret that she did not have the charisma to always escape at the last moment.
After lying on the bed for a while, Wen Xin picked up the pajamas that had been peeled off and thrown to the side and put them on. She then walked into the cloakroom and picked out a black sweater from the wardrobe to put on.
She suddenly noticed the red mark near her collarbone. She was certain that Mu Chengxi had left it when she was sleeping soundly. She was completely unaware of it.
At this moment, Wen Xin’s cell phone rang. Hearing the sound, Wen Xin frowned. She walked to the bedside and picked up the cell phone on the bedside table. As expected, Lucas had taken the initiative to contact her.
Lucas, whom she had lost contact with for half a month, suddenly appeared.
Wen Xin immediately clicked on the app and frowned slightly when she saw Lucas’s message. It seemed that the Shadow Alliance had been lying low for a long time and could not wait any longer.
Wen Xin didn’t reply to Lucas. After exiting the app, she took out a heavy phone from her backpack and tapped into Da Ting’s internal app.
She found Justin’s profile picture and clicked on it. She sent Justin a string of messages, reminding him that someone would soon make a move on the rare earth mine.
She wasn’t sure if Justin was in stealth mode but online. As soon as she sent the message, she received Justin’s reply.
“Boss, someone dares to attack my rare earth mine. Aren’t you afraid they will come in standing and leave lying down? The weapon in my hand is not to be trifled with!”
Wen Xin looked at Justin’s arrogant reply and smiled. He was indeed her subordinate. She liked how arrogant and unruly he was.
“Pay attention to your safety. Don’t hold back. Let them enter but not leave. Good job. I’ll reward you.”
“Reward? What reward?” Seeing that Wen Xin was about to give him a reward, Justin’s reply was especially fast. He replied almost instantly.
“What reward do you want?” It seemed that this news had piqued Wen Xin’s interest. This was the first time Wen Xin had promised a reward to his subordinates, and she did not seem to understand what they wanted.
“Do you think Boss will consider it just because I said so? We’ve known each other for more than four years. Other than the little brat that Boss arranged for us, we’ve never met before. When can Boss meet me?”
When Wen Xin saw the words ‘little brat’ on the screen, her beautiful and cold eyes narrowed slightly.
Justin was the first person to see her in Da Ting. He didn’t expect Justin to treat her like a little kid and want to see her again.
“Just wait. When there’s a chance, I’ll let you meet him!”
Wen Xin exited the app and threw her phone on the bed. She looked at the ceiling and thought about Justin’s words..
