Chapter 768 - 767: Wait until there is a result to explain the reason to you
Chapter 768: Chapter 767: Wait until there is a result to explain the reason to you
Zhuge Jingming walked respectfully beside Wen Xin, talking about something, his demeanor full of reverence.
“She’s here!” Zhao Yuyao excitedly watched Wen Xin, and had it not been for the propriety between men and women, he would have rushed to embrace her.
“Little lady, long time no see!” Without caring whether Wen Xin was still busy, Zhao Yuyao ran up to greet her.
Just as Wen Xin finished speaking with Zhuge Jingming, she heard Zhao Yuyao’s voice and looked up in his direction.
“I’ll head back first, I’ll come over when I have time. Please take care of Xiao Mi’s matter!”
After politely speaking to Zhuge Jingming, Wen Xin walked slowly towards Zhao Yuyao.
Watching Wen Xin approach, Zhao Yuyao clasped his hands together nervously, feeling an inexplicable surge of excitement.
“Little lady, long time no see! I haven’t seen Brother Huai for a long time either, I wonder how he’s doing?”
“He’s doing well, it really has been a long time. You seem much more mature! Where’s the thing you were supposed to bring?”
As soon as she spoke, it was clear Wen Xin had no intention of making small talk with Zhao Yuyao. She went straight to the point, wanting to know where the item he was supposed to deliver was.
“Hey, little lady, aren’t you being a bit too heartless? I’m all frazzled with excitement seeing you, and you immediately treat me like a tool. I gave the thing to my brother, you’re really breaking my heart here!”
Zhao Yuyao complained to Wen Xin, who just glanced at him lightly, seemingly accustomed to their way of interacting.
She walked directly towards Mu Chengxi, completely ignoring Zhao Yuyao’s complaints behind her.
Upon reaching Mu Chengxi, he took a document case from the car and handed it to Wen Xin.
“It’s cold outside, let’s talk in the car.”
Mu Chengxi covered Wen Xin’s head from the falling snowflakes with one hand and opened the rear door of the car with the other, inviting her to get inside.
Wen Xin followed Mu Chengxi’s lead and was about to get into the car, but then she turned to look at Xiao Mi standing in the snow.
“Get in the car,” Wen Xin said to Xiao Mi, her tone gentle.
Wen Xin had originally wanted Zhao Yuyao to take Xiao Mi to find Wen Huai, but thinking it over, she realized that Xiao Mi and Wen Huai weren’t very familiar with each other. Thus, Wen Xin decided to take Xiao Mi with her and they could head back together.
The three of them got in the car, Zhao Yuyao standing outside the window, watching them with a huff.
Wen Xin, her head down, examined the document case in her hands, completely unaware of Zhao Yuyao outside the car, but Mu Chengxi noticed.
He smiled faintly, rolled down the window, and gestured for Zhao Yuyao to come over with a wave of his finger. Zhao Yuyao hurried over.
“We have a dinner event. Do you want to join us, or go find Wen Huai? Wen Huai has gone to his family’s villa. Do you know the address?”
Thinking about interacting with people of Mu Chengxi’s stature made Zhao Yuyao a bit resistant, even though they treated him like a younger brother. He knew they weren’t really on the same level.
“I know Brother Huai’s address. I can just call him. I’ll go find Brother Huai first.”
“Wait… wait a moment…” Xiao Mi turned to glance at Mu Chengxi and then looked at Wen Xin.
“Miss Wen, may I… may I leave with him? May I wait at Young Master Wen’s house until you all return? I don’t really want to join you for dinner.”
Xiao Mi looked at Wen Xin with eyes that pleated for understanding, expressing how overwhelmed she already felt sitting in the same car with Mu Chengxi. If they ate together too, she might have digestion issues.
Throughout the journey, Wen Huai spoke with her considerably more, and she found him easy to get along with, having a lot in common when they were together.
It was much more relaxing than being with them.
When Xiao Mi actively suggested looking for Wen Huai, Wen Xin, who was fiddling with a document bag, paused unconsciously.
“Sure, if you want to find Wen Huai, go with Zhao Yuyao in his car.”
As she spoke, Wen Xin took out an ID card from the document bag and handed it to Xiao Mi along with the bag itself.
“This is your ID in Beijing; it contains all your personal information. Hold onto it for now, and tomorrow I’ll take you to school.”
After handing over the document bag to Xiao Mi, Wen Xin then lay on Mu Chengxi’s lap and looked out the window at Zhao Yuyao, “I’m entrusting her to you; safely deliver her to the Wen family.”
“Little miss, don’t worry, I’ll definitely get the little beauty to the Wen family safely.”
Zhao Yuyao said as he obsequiously opened the passenger door for Xiao Mi, took the backpack she held in her arms, and left cheerfully with her.
Watching Zhao Yuyao and Xiao Mi drive away, Mu Chengxi also instructed his driver to leave.
Sitting in the car, Wen Xin lowered her head to her phone while Mu Chengxi turned his head to look at her, hesitating as if he wanted to ask something but didn’t know how to begin.
Wen Xin seemed to feel Mu Chengxi’s gaze; she lifted her head from her phone and looked at him, her beautiful eyebrows slightly raised.
“What? Just ask directly if you have questions. Looking at me like that won’t help me guess what you want to know!”
Wen Xin’s tone carried a slight chuckle; one could tell that she was in a good mood.
“Why have you suddenly taken an interest in an orphan girl? Being charitable isn’t like you.”
Mu Chengxi looked into Wen Xin’s eyes, trying to decipher an answer from her gaze.
“Since when do I not like being charitable?” Wen Xin pondered over the question about being charitable and then nodded; Mu Chengxi was not wrong, she genuinely didn’t enjoy it much.
“Actually, you are not wrong. I don’t generally enjoy being charitable, but… Xiao Mi is different. I still need to confirm something. Once I do, I’ll explain the details to you.”
Wen Xin looked back into Mu Chengxi’s eyes; she didn’t mean to hide anything from him; it was just that she genuinely didn’t know how to explain.
The results would come out soon, and once they did, everything could be explained clearly.
The driver stopped the car outside a luxurious club, Wen Xin sat in the car, looking through the window at the opulent club before turning to Mu Chengxi.
“If I remember correctly, this is my first time coming here.”
“Yes, it’s also my first time here. This place just opened about ten days ago; the person behind it is the Second Young Master of the Yuan family.”
Hearing that the club was run by the Yuan family, a faint smile spread across Wen Xin’s face, her eyes gleaming with a dangerous mirth.
“So, bringing me here for dinner, aren’t you afraid I’ll cause a scene?”
