Chapter 767: Chapter 766: Why Be So Kind to a Stranger You Meet by Chance?
Mu Chengxi gently rubbed the top of Wen Xin’s head and glanced outside, instantly understanding what Wen was smiling about. He lowered the car window and looked at Mo Xuan indifferently.
“Call Mu Bei, and have him come back to pick you up,” he said.
After speaking, Mu Chengxi glanced again at the driver beside him, his tone still detached as he spoke, “Drive, head to Master Zhuge’s clinic.”
The driver, upon receiving Mu Chengxi’s command, immediately got into the car, quickly started the engine, and drove away swiftly, leaving Mo Xuan alone in the chaotic wind.
Mo Xuan watched the direction in which the car disappeared, his eyes inevitably filled with bitterness.
He took out his phone from his pocket and dialed Mu Bei’s number. Upon hearing about his plight, Mu Bei laughed mercilessly, without considering his feelings.
“Alright, alright, I know. I’m turning around to pick you up right now. Thankfully, I didn’t go far. Otherwise, you would have had to take a taxi back, hahaha…”
Mu Bei’s laughter grew more unrestrained, but Mo Xuan didn’t dare hang up the phone. He was already miserable enough and feared that his impulsive actions would only add insult to injury.
Just then, snowflakes slowly began to drift from the sky. Mo Xuan looked up, feeling as though even the weather was spitefully against him. Why would it start snowing now?
Xiao Mi sat in the car, surprised as she watched the scattered snowflakes falling outside, a hint of joy in her eyes.
“First time seeing snow?” Wen Xin leaned against Mu Chengxi, watching Xiao Mi’s excited expression. Her bright eyes instinctively narrowed slightly, a subtle emotion flickering through them.
“Not really, but it’s been a long time since I’ve seen snow…”
Xiao Mi, watching the snowflakes outside the car window, felt her excitement fading, replaced by an indescribable sense of sorrow.
“From now on, you should call yourself Wen Mi. I’ve already arranged your new identity. Just stay in Beijing and study well. I will take care of you just like I do Wen Huai. Here, you won’t have any worries.”
Wen Xin’s gaze softened as she watched Xiao Mi. Her words made Mu Chengxi turn his head to look at her, but he just glanced at her faintly, saying nothing, asking nothing.
“Why are you so nice to me? We are but strangers who have met by chance. Why give me your surname and bring me back?”
Xiao Mi’s interest was piqued by Wen Xin’s words. She turned her body from the passenger seat to look at Wen Xin. She couldn’t understand why Wen Xin was so kind to her.
This kindness felt inexplicably strange…
“Perhaps it’s fate. From the first time I saw you, I felt that we were destined. You and Wen Huai are about the same age, so… I want to take extra care of you.”
Wen Xin’s eyes met Xiao Mi’s gaze steadily, her expression sincere and calm, convincing Xiao Mi of her words.
However, Xiao Mi, who survived in such a complex environment, was no simple person. Although she could feel Wen Xin’s sincerity and goodwill, she still felt that things were not so straightforward.
It could be said that Wen Xin was not telling her the whole truth; she was hiding something from her.
Xiao Mi shifted her gaze away from Wen Xin, turned her head to look forward at the road, her head bowed in silence, unknowable thoughts hidden within.
Mu Chengxi held Wen Xin’s icy hand in his palm. He had clearly sensed Wen Xin’s nervousness just now, but he did not understand what Wen Xin was nervous about.
If his instincts were correct, he felt that there must be some story between Wen Xin and Xiao Mi.
The car stopped in front of Zhuge Jingming’s clinic. Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi got out of the car, and Wen Xin walked to the passenger’s side, opened the door, and let Xiao Mi get out.
Xiao Mi was somewhat puzzled by Wen Xin’s gesture. As someone revered by everyone, him opening the car door for her left her pleasantly surprised.
“Actually, there’s no need to look after me like this, I can get out on my own!”
Xiao Mi looked at Wen Xin timidly. The courage she had just mustered up to question Wen Xin had completely disappeared, and deep down, she still felt somewhat intimidated by Wen Xin.
Wen Xin did not pay attention to Xiao Mi and just glanced at her indifferently. He spoke in a gentle tone, “Hurry up and get out. Once your business is dealt with, we still have other matters to attend to. We can’t afford to waste much time.”
As soon as Wen Xin finished speaking, Xiao Mi quickly got out of the car and followed behind Wen Xin into Zhuge Jingming’s clinic.
Meanwhile, Mu Chengxi stood by the car, without any intention of following them inside. He just watched the backs of Wen Xin and Xiao Mi as they entered, squinting his eyes unconsciously.
“Brother, why are you here? Where’s my little aunty?”
Upon seeing Mu Chengxi after a long time, Zhao Yuyao felt an indescribable excitement and ran quickly to Mu Chengxi’s side, calling out to him loudly.
Hearing the sound, Mu Chengxi withdrew his gaze from the direction of the clinic’s door, turned around, and looked at Zhao Yuyao, his eyebrows slightly raised.
“What brings you here? Are you feeling unwell?”
“Of course not. My little aunty sent me a message asking me to deliver something she needed. Here, this file bag, my dad gave it to me this morning, and I’m not sure what’s inside it.”
As Zhao Yuyao spoke, he handed the file bag to Mu Chengxi, who received it but did not open it. He simply placed it on the car.
Zhao Yuyao looked at Mu Chengxi’s actions with a hint of disappointment, “I thought you would open it so I could also see what’s inside. Aren’t you curious?”
“I am curious!” Mu Chengxi looked at Zhao Yuyao’s gossip-hungry expression and smiled lightly, “But I won’t open it. Waiting till Wen Xin is back and sees it is fine too …”
Hearing that Mu Chengxi was also interested in the contents of the file bag, Zhao Yuyao’s eyes lit up unconsciously, but after hearing Mu Chengxi’s words, the light in his eyes faded again.
“Never mind then. I’m not that interested. Brother, shall we have dinner together tonight? It’s been a long time since we last saw each other!”
Since returning from Organization M, Zhao Yuyao had been diligently studying at school. His previous academic foundation was very poor, and even though he had successfully gotten into university, he was still struggling to catch up with some of the courses.
But in order not to disappoint Wen Xin, he had been trying hard to catch up, and only recently had he found some free time, so when Wen Xin asked him to deliver something, he did not hesitate and agreed immediately.
“I have a dinner engagement tonight, so I probably can’t take you with me. However, you can wait here for a while. It shouldn’t take long for Wen Xin to come out …”
Mu Chengxi’s words were not yet finished when he saw Wen Xin and Xiao Mi walking out of Zhuge Jingming’s clinic,
