Chapter 22: The Person Who Made Master Xi Bow Down
Mu Chengxi raised his eyebrows slightly. His eyes swept across Wen Xin’s legs which were casually crossed. Finally, his gaze fell on the red string around her ankle, making it look fair and delicate.
The car stopped outside the Mu family’s main entrance. Mu Chengxi got out of the car and walked to the other side to open the door. This action stunned the group of people who were waiting for him at the door. One had to know that Mu Chengxi had never bent over for anyone since he was young.
They could not help but look in the backseat. They wanted to know who could make Mu Chengxi open the car door personally. Even a miracle doctor could not possibly make Mu Chengxi bow down.
Under everyone’s expectant gaze, a figure dressed in a black down jacket got out and handed a backpack to Mu Chengxi.
The figure was tall, slim, and frail, with a lithe and agile posture. No matter how you looked at it, this didn’t seem like an older, respected doctor.
Everyone noticed the gesture of Mu Chengxi holding her bag, and for a moment, they didn’t know how to interpret this action. They were even more curious about who was coming out of the car.
Mu Chengxi carried the black backpack in his hand naturally and glanced at the people staring at him. “What are you all doing here? Waiting for me?”
“Master Xi, is this the divine doctor?” Gu Yanzhe walked forward to take the backpack from Mu Chengxi’s hands. He had never seen Mu Chengxi carry anything before.
Mu Chengxi avoided Gu Yanzhe’s outstretched hand and slung the backpack across his own back. He raised his hand to pull Wen Xin’s hat tightly and said softly, “Are you cold?” The capital should be warmer than Ice City, right?” 𝒃𝙚𝒅𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝒍.𝙣𝙚𝙩
Wen Xin put the phone in her pocket and turned to look at the man tugging at her hat. There was a hint of anger in her cold eyes.
He clearly knew that the capital was not cold, but he still pulled his hat so tightly. He was probably doing it on purpose!
“Hurry up and let’s go see old madam. I’m hungry!” Wen Xin shook off the hat on her head in frustration. She felt that this man was a little annoying.
Wen Xin’s patience was running thin, but strangely, when she was with Mu Chengxi, she felt somewhat powerless. She didn’t even know how to get angry anymore.
When he heard Wen Xin say that she was hungry, Mu Chengxi glanced at Gu Yanzhe, who was still rooted to the spot. “Prepare dinner and put it in my courtyard. Let’s go to my grandmother’s courtyard first.”
Mu Chengxi took Wen Xin to the courtyard after he finished speaking, leaving behind a group of people looking at each other.
A woman, a young woman. Their master actually brought back a young woman!
When Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi walked into the courtyard, Gu Yanzhe thought of Liang Luoyu and Mu Bei, who had returned with Mu Chengxi. Hence, he called Liang Luoyu.
The call was quickly answered, and Gu Yanzhe didn’t give Liang Luoyu a chance to speak. He curiously opened with, “Bro, what’s the deal with that girl who came back with Chengxi? Weren’t you supposed to fetch the divine doctor? Instead of bringing back the doctor, you brought back a girl. Is this your way of enhancing your playboy image?”
On the other end of the call, Liang Luoyu sat in the cake shop, reflecting on the miserable events of the day. He gave a cold snort.
“Does Chengxi need to solidify his playboy image today? Be careful with your words. Don’t provoke the wrong people. Remember, your life is still in Chengxi’s hands. When Wei Shisheng went to find him today, Chengxi was already angry. Don’t blame me for not warning you!”
Before Gu Yanzhe could say anything, Liang Luoyu hung up the phone decisively. He wasn’t about to kindly inform Gu Yanzhe about Wen Xin’s identity. He was determined to make Gu Yanzhe taste the bitterness he went through today!
The Mu family had a rich heritage, and their ancestral home was located in one of the most famous ancient courtyards in the capital city. The courtyard featured a traditional garden design, exuding a unique charm.
