“Recently, the Ou family collaborated with Independent State about this aircraft project. They seem to have hit a bottleneck with the design, and that’s why Elder Ou brought Ou Shenzhi to seeand directly pointed out that I was the designer of those blueprints.”

“You know, I just want a peaceful life. If this gets out… it could bring a lot of trouble, not just pressure from Independent State.”

Wen Xin was not afraid of Independent State but was concerned about other ambitious factions. If it were just her, she wouldn’t worry much, but now things were different, and it was causing her agitation.

Mu Chengxi sat beside Wen Xin, wrapping his arm around her and comforting her with a firm yet gentle voice.

“Lethandle it. Withhere, you don’t need to worry about anything.”

With Mu Chengxi’s reassurance, Wen Xin’s anxiety subsided a lot. She leaned her head against his chest and sighed lightly. Why was it so hard to lead a simple life?

“Alright, stop thinking about it. How about we go downtown? Let’s go see a movie.”

Hearing Mu Chengxi suggest seeing a movie, Wen Xin lifted her head from his chest and looked at him, “A movie? That’s not a bad idea. When do we leave?”

“Right now.”

Mu Chengxi glanced at Wen Xin’s outfit and felt that what she wore was perfectly fine for going out; she did not need to change.

“Okay, I’ll grab my backpack. Send Wen Huai a message to cwith us.”

Saying this, Wen Xin quickly jumped out of the hanging basket and walked towards the small villa.

Watching Wen Xin walk away, Mu Chengxi got out of the basket and sat on a small nearby chair. He picked up his phone and sent Wen Huai a simple message, “We’re heading downtown to watch a movie.”

On the way to the city center, Wen Huai received a call from Director Tang, who asked him to return to the research institute for an experiment that needed his involvement.

Initially planning to join Wen Xin for the movie, Wen Huai ended up having Mu Bei divert the car to the physics research institute instead.

The car stopped outside the large gates of the physics institute. Wen Huai got out, waved to Wen Xin, and hurried off.

In the car, Wen Xin looked at the physics research institute in front of her, and her memories suddenly transported her back to when she was five years old.

Back then, her parents were very busy, and she didn’t like staying at hwith the nanny. She preferred to follow her parents around, even if it meant spending a boring day in the laboratory reading books. She found it enjoyable.

Even at that age, she had already started retaining memories, including remembering a man who desperately chased after her parents’ car.

Yet, despite all these years, she had never found him.

After all these years, she had never found him.

She swore that once she found him, she would make sure he would never forget before he died.

Mu Chengxi, noticing the slight reddening of Wen Xin’s eyes, took her cold hand into his own, understanding in that moment why Wen Xin always resisted accepting the research institute.

“If it makes you uncomfortable, we can leave now.” Mu Chengxi didn’t dare to push Wen Xin physically; he only dared to speak softly into her ear, trying not to startle her.

Hearing Mu Chengxi’s words, Wen Xin slowly lifted her head, tilting it as a teardrop glistened at the corner of her eye, slipping down unintentionally.

Mu Chengxi, with a heart full of pain, cradled Wen Xin’s face and gently kissed the corner of her lips, then pulled her into his arms.

“The past is past, and now you’re living well. They would be relieved.”

Mu Chengxi didn’t know what Wen Xin needed to hear to feel comforted. He hadn’t experienced what she had; he couldn’t truly empathize, but all he could do was offer consolation.

Within Mu Chengxi’s embrace, Wen Xin composed herself before she rose from his arms, settling back lazily into the car seat, and spoke softly.

“Let’s go, let’s watch a movie.”

Hearing Wen Xin’s words, Mu Bei immediately turned the car around and drove away from the physics research institute.

On their way to the mall, Mu Chengxi asked Mu Bei to stop the car, and he went into a convenience store to buy a lollipop, which he placed in Wen Xin’s hand.

“Withhere, you’ll never be alone.”

Wen Xin looked at the lollipop, smiling softly as she lowered her head, pondering how Mu Chengxi had unwittingly beca paternal figure in their relationship.

She shifted her gaze from the lollipop, casually unwrapping it and popping it into her mouth.

Wen Xin turned her head towards Mu Chengxi, her lips curling into a gentle smile, “I need a boyfriend, not a dad. Let’s skip the kid’s tricks from now on… though the lollipop is quite tasty.”

Watching Wen Xin enjoy the lollipop with a satisfied expression, Mu Chengxi chuckled softly, wondering if this girl had always been so stubborn.

Mu Bei drove the car directly into the mall’s underground parking lot. Mu Chengxi got out of the car, walked over to Wen Xin’s side, opened the car door for her, and reached out his hand to help her out.

Wen Xin’s cold hand was in Mu Chengxi’s warm palm. He looked down at her delicate wrist, his brow furrowing slightly.

“It’s the height of summer. Why are your hands still not as warm as in winter?”

“Maybe the warmth of the jade was effective in winter? My hands are naturally warm. It’s gotten hot now, so I took off the warm jade, and my hands returned to normal temperature.”

Wen Xin was also somewhat troubled by this. After ten months of treatment, her health hadn’t improved at all, and she was starting to doubt her medical skills, wondering if she would remain this way for the rest of her life.

Mu Chengxi was unaware of Wen Xin’s health issues. He saw her nonchalant attitude and didn’t realize she had previously had health problems.

Mu Chengxi held Wen Xin’s hand as they casually strolled through the mall, not heading directly to the cinema.

“Is there anything you like?” Mu Chengxi glanced sideways at Wen Xin, asking if there was anything she wanted.

Wen Xin casually glanced around and then shook her head lightly, “I don’t like shopping; it’s annoying. Let’s just go watch the movie.”

“Alright.” Seeing that Wen Xin’s mood wasn’t very good, Mu Chengxi let her pull his hand, leading him toward the elevator.

“Isn’t that Master Xi? Since when does Master Xi like to shop?”

“Right, is that girl the fiancée Master Xi introduced publicly? She tied up her hair today; I almost didn’t recognize her!”

“Yeah, she seems prettier than before. I thought Master Xi had changed girlfriends!”
