“I’ll be right there.”
Wen Xin hung up. She looked at Mu Chengxi, who gave her a relaxed smile.
“There’s no need to say too much. Don’t worry about the surgery. Leave the sanatorium to me!” Mu Chengxi raised his hand to caress Wen Xin’s head, his voice gentle.
Wen Xin was not used to this kind of contact, but she did not resist. She nodded gently and said, “Then I’ll be leaving first.”
She did not know what arrangements Mu Chengxi would make, but she was sure that he was safe. She did not know why she trusted him so much, but she was willing to trust him.
Even at this dangerous moment, she still believed in Mu Chengxi. There was no reason for that.
Wen Xin put on her coat and left the house. Mu Chengxi sat in the dining room without moving.
Chu Yunxuan emerged from the bedroom. She had just overheard the conversation between Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi in the room, and she thought Wen Xin would be cautious around Mu Chengxi. Surprisingly, Wen Xin was completely unguarded.
Mu Chengxi heard her and looked at Chu Yunxuan as she approached. The gentleness on his face was replaced by coldness, making him look like he was keeping strangers away.
Seeing the change in Mu Chengxi’s expression, Chu Yunxuan wore a look of great interest but did not go near Mu Chengxi, maintaining a safe distance between them.
“Mr. Mu, it’s rare for us to have this opportunity with just the two of us. Let’s get straight to the point. I’m curious, what is your intention in getting close to Wen Xin?”
Chu Yunxuan had seen Mu Chengxi’s care for Wen Xin, but she didn’t entirely believe that two people with no prior connection could have some sort of love-at-first-sight situation, especially when it came to someone as emotionally reserved as Mu Chengxi.
Mu Chengxi took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket and took one out. He held it between his long fingers but did not light it. He looked at the cigarette in his hand silently.
Chu Yunxuan looked at Mu Chengxi’s actions and was a little anxious. She knew Mu Chengxi’s identity and was worried that Wen Xin would be at a disadvantage.
“I got close to her purely because I liked her. If I, Mu Chengxi, wanted to do something, would I need to sell my body?”
As he spoke, Mu Chengxi took out a black metallic lighter and lit the cigarette in his hand. He took a deep puff and stood up. He walked past Chu Yunxuan and left the house.
Chu Yunxuan remained standing at the same spot for a long time after he left. She looked in the direction of the door. She had to admit that when she heard
Mu Chengxi confess that he liked Wen Xin, she was a little shocked,
incredulous even.
She was pondering whether the world would be in chaos with two big shots together, but she figured it would all depend on their decisions.
Wen Xin controlled the pace of the surgery very well. Although Tan Xingyue had been paralyzed since she was five, after so many years of Wen Xin’s conditioning, her bones had grown very well. Other than some muscle abnormalities, she was no different from a normal person.
At this moment, there were only Wen Xin and Nan Xu in the operating theater. Nan Xu looked at Wen Xin and said excitedly, “Little Xin Xin, the operation was very successful! As long as the ancient jade can restore Little Yueyue’s nerves, she will be able to stand up very soon. Your efforts over the years have not been in vain!”
Wen Xin looked at Tan Xingyue lying on the operating table. She could not help but smile under her mask. She had waited for this day for 12 years and 175 days.
Taking off her gloves, Wen Xin took the ancient jade out from a wooden box and placed it on a special energy-harvesting device.
It seemed like she had waited too long for this moment. Surprisingly, Wen Xin hesitated at this moment. She stood there with a serious expression and raised her head to look at Nan Xu..
