Chapter 831: Chapter 830: The Tricycle Becomes a Place for Secret Deals?
 

“Brother, my hand really hurts, can you please…”

“No, I can’t. I’m telling you to drop all your little tricks. You can talk about whatever it is when you see Wen Xin, you don’t need to be scheming here!”

At this moment, Mu Chengxi opened the car door, his gaze cold as he looked at Xiao Mi, who was preparing to do something naughty. She actually still wanted to deceive Qian Meng. Quite impressive indeed.

Seeing Mu Chengxi suddenly return, Xiao Mi immediately resumed an indifferent expression and turned her head away from him.

“Master Xi, what did you go out to buy? Was that tricycle a secret meeting spot for a transaction?”

Qian Meng glanced at Xiao Mi, who wore an unhappy face, and then shifted his gaze back onto Mu Chengxi, looking at him with a curious expression, wanting to know what Mu Chengxi had been up to.

“Aren’t you being a bit too imaginative? I went to buy roasted corn and sweet potatoes for Wen Xin. Let’s head home now.”

With that, Mu Chengxi gave the driver his parents’ address.

When Qian Meng heard the address of Wen Xin’s place, he couldn’t help but widen his eyes in surprise, “You’ve moved again?”

“No, my mom insisted on having Wen Xin stay at our house, so she went back.”

Mu Chengxi answered Qian Meng’s question with a gentle tone, but his eyes were on Xiao Mi. His beautiful fingers gently tugged at the rope tied around Xiao Mi’s wrist, loosening it so her wrist wouldn’t be so tightly bound and could feel more comfortable.

After waking up, Wen Xin saw that Mu Chengxi hadn’t returned yet, so she changed into her clothes and left the room.

As soon as she walked out, she saw Mu Chengxu standing at the door. She leaned against the doorframe and quirkily raised an eyebrow at him.

“Sister, what are you doing at the door?”

Mu Chengxu looked at Wen Xin’s smiling face, pushed her shoulder, and led her back into her room to sit down on the sofa.

“I sneaked upstairs. Mom and Dad still don’t know about me and Yuan Junye. If anyone asks, could you please keep it a secret for me?”

Mu Chengxu smiled appeasingly at Wen Xin. She knew Wen Xin wasn’t one to gossip, but still, the fewer people knew about some things, the better.

Looking at Mu Chengxu’s anxious expression, Wen Xin gently nodded and then casually draped her arm over Mu Chengxu’s shoulder, leaning her body weight onto her.

“Sister, have you considered what you’ll do if Uncle and Aunt find out? You can’t keep hiding like this forever, can you?”

Caught off guard by Wen Xin’s question, Mu Chengxu hesitated for a moment, glanced at Wen Xin, and couldn’t help but let out a soft sigh.

“We’re already working on resolving the issue. The Yuan Family might not be aggressive, but as you know, they hold a deeply entrenched position, so… even if Yuan Junye takes action, it will still take some time.”

“Have you heard about the recent situation in Beijing? The emergence of Kunshan Group has caused many small companies to grow overnight. The Yuan Family has also reaped quite a few benefits, making things even harder for Yuan Junye now.”

Listening to Mu Chengxu, Wen Xin arched her eyebrows, already forming a plan in her mind. She spoke in a gentle voice to reassure Mu Chengxu.

“Don’t worry, everything will be fine once Yuan Junye’s latest project bears fruit. There’s no need to rush.”

Wen Xin knew exactly what project Yuan Junye’s company was working on. It was the culmination of her three years of effort, and once successful, it would have a significant impact on the entire world.

“Ah, who did you bring with you? Who is this?”

As the two were talking, there was suddenly a surprised shout from Wei Manqing downstairs. Wen Xin and Chu Yunxuan exchanged glances and immediately rushed out of the room.

Because Wen Xin’s legs were not very convenient, her reaction was quick, but she was not as fast as Mu Chengxu in rushing out.

Wen Xin came out of the room and stood at the top of the stairs, looking down at the scene below, only to see Qian Meng standing by Mu Chengxi’s side, greeting Wei Manqing very politely.

Clearly, Wei Manqing had been scared by the sudden appearance of Qian Meng.

Only then did Wen Xin notice that there was a man standing behind Qian Meng, carrying a bound person on his shoulder, who looked skinny and appeared to be a girl.

Thinking of this, Wen Xin’s brow furrowed unconsciously; she didn’t quite understand what Mu Chengxi was doing.

“Mu Chengxi,” Wen Xin, hindered by her injured leg, found it inconvenient to climb the stairs, so she leaned over the stairway and called out Mu Chengxi’s name.

Hearing Wen Xin’s voice, Mu Chengxi turned around, looked up at Wen Xin with a gentle and indulgent smile.

After speaking a few words to the man behind Qian Meng, he strode up the stairs.

The man in the black clothing carrying the bound person also walked up from downstairs with the others.

Mu Chengxi reached Wen Xin, gently picked her up, and walked directly into his study, rather than returning to their bedroom.

In the study, Mu Chengxi gently placed Wen Xin on the sofa, then pulled out a roasted corn wrapped in his coat and handed it to Wen Xin.

“It’s still warm, eat quickly.”

Wen Xin looked at the dark, glistening corn Mu Chengxi handed over, her bright eyes sparkling with surprise; she didn’t believe that Mu Chengxi would take the initiative to buy such things for her to eat.

“You go ahead and eat, I brought someone for you.”

As he spoke, Mu Chengxi walked over to the door of the study, opened it, and instructed the man in black to carry the person inside more gently.

While nibbling on the corn, Wen Xin lifted her gaze to see the person placed by the man in black and paused slightly.

“Xiao Mi?”

After seeing Xiao Mi’s appearance, Wen Xin’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, a smile twinkling in her gaze; she knew there was a reason for Mu Chengxi’s behavior toward her.

And when Wen Xin looked at Xiao Mi’s eyes, she should have guessed that Xiao Mi was not Xiao Mi at the moment, but the world’s third-ranked assassin, MI.

“What’s going on?” Wen Xin turned her head to look at Mu Chengxi, asking what the situation was.

Mu Chengxi turned around, closed the study door, walked over to the desk, took out a paper cutter from the drawer, and then slowly began to speak.

“Qian Meng found out Jiang Linyan’s whereabouts, but by the time he arrived, she had already been taken away. The person aiding them was her. She warned us not to get involved in this matter, otherwise, we shouldn’t blame her for not being kind.”

As Mu Chengxi was about to cut Xiao Mi’s ropes, he heard Wen Xin speak up coldly, “Don’t move. Since she wants to be an assassin, she has put herself in opposition to us. There’s no need for pity. Without suffering, she will never learn her lesson.”

Hearing Wen Xin’s voice, Mu Chengxi looked up at her. Understanding Wen Xin’s temperament, he could tell Wen Xin was genuinely angry.
