Chapter 44: He Admits That He’s Tempted
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Without waiting for Chu Yunxuan to say more, Wen Xin hung up. She knew that she had gone overboard, but there was nothing she could do!
Originally, Wen Xin wanted the people that Chu Yunxuan brought to be the staff of the sanatorium, but this seemed a bit blatant and easily discovered, so Wen Xin just didn’t let them come.
Chu Yunxuan looked at the phone in her hand and sighed helplessly. Ever since she had met Wen Xin, she felt like she owed Wen Xin a debt that she could never repay.
“Take our people to the hotel to rest first. The big boss doesn’t need our help anymore. Let’s wait for her news!”
After a long time, Chu Yunxuan finally realized that something was not right. Wen Xin was worried that Mu Chengxi would find out about her background, and her boss was also worried.
Wen Xin sat on the bed and deleted the small programs that she created yesterday to block calls from strangers. She looked at her phone, wondering if Mu Chengxi would call.
Apart from thinking that Mu Chengxi was here to look for her, she could not figure out what he was doing in this backward city. After all, this was a famous poverty-relief city, unlike Ice City, which had the potential to develop.
She did not believe that he was here to help the poor and develop the economy.
Wen Xin threw her phone on the bed and walked to the bathroom. Although the weather in Luocheng was cold, she still had the habit of taking a shower in the morning.
Mu Chengxi did not sleep the entire night. The corners of his eyes were slightly red from staying up late, and he looked even colder. Sitting in the front passenger seat, Liang Luoyu did not dare to say a word. He had already seen Mu Bei being sent to ‘Continent F’ with his own eyes.
Mu Chengxi’s eyes were closed as he lazily nestled in the backseat. He gave off a feeling that strangers were not allowed to approach.
“Master Xi, the location of the sanatorium has been confirmed. We’ve already found out that Old Mr. Ou is also recuperating in the sanatorium. If we can’t get to Ms. Wen directly, we can go and see Old Mr. Ou!”
Old Mr. Ou was Old Mr. Mu’s close friend and also Mu Chengxi’s first teacher since he was three years old. It could be said that he was an old man whom Mu Chengxi respected very much.
The man in the back seat of the car listened to Mu Dong’s suggestion and opened his dark eyes slightly.
He did not deny that this was a good opportunity to get close to Wen Xin, but so what if he went to the sanatorium? Wen Xin would still avoid him.
Mu Chengxi felt frustrated when he thought about how Wen Xin had hidden all her contact details.
He thought he was just interested in her beauty, but after calming down, he realized that he seemed to have fallen into the hands of that girl with the attitude of a big shot. He admitted that he was tempted.
Mu Chengxi sat up and pulled away the blanket covering his body. He took out his phone from his pocket and dialled the number he had called more than a hundred times lately.
To his surprise, the phone did not sound like an unavailable number this time.
Mu Chengxi tightened his grip on the phone. No one could understand his excitement, but he could feel his heart racing.
“Hello,” a cold and lazy female voice came from the phone.
The familiar voice made the cold air around Mu Chengxi slowly dissipate. His expression eased up a lot, and the irritation between his brows gradually disappeared.
“I’ve already prepared Grandma’s consultation fees. Give me an account and I’ll transfer it to you!” Mu Chengxi’s reddened eyes raised slightly, and a faint smile appeared on his handsome face.
