Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When Wen Xin arrived at the old mansion of the Mu family, it was already 7 o’clock in the evening. The butler had calculated the time and had been waiting outside with the staff.

As soon as the car stopped, the butler hurried forward to open the door for Wen

Xin.

“Miss Wen…”

Wen Xin got out of the car with a handbag and a backpack, calmly greeting the butler, “Butler Mu.”

The butler warmly took Wen Xin’s handbag and handed it to a nearby servant, instructing, “Take this to Seventh Young Master’s courtyard.”

“There are gifts for the old madam in the back of the car. Please have someone take them.” Wen Xin looked at the enthusiastic butler and spoke in a gentle tone.

“Miss Wen, Old Madam and Eldest Miss are waiting for you in the main hall. Please follow me…” The butler carried the gifts Wen Xin brought and led the way.

As soon as Wen Xin entered the old madam’s courtyard, Mu Chengxu walked out. Seeing Wen Xin, her face lit up with joy.

“Come, it’s cold outside, right? Why are you dressed so lightly?” Mu Chengxu warmly held Wen Xin’s hand, wrinkling her brow slightly at her cold hand. “If Chengxi knew your hands were so cold, he would definitely feel distressed again. ”

“It’s not that serious.” Mu Chengxu’s words amused Wen Xin. She hadn’t expected Mu Chengxi’s concern over such trivial matters to be known by everyone.

Following Mu Chengxu into the old madam’s house, Wen Xin unexpectedly saw Wei Manqing sitting in the living room, accompanying the old madam for tea.

“Grandma, Auntie.”

“Come sit by Grandma’s side. Your mother-in-law heard that you would be staying at the old mansion for a while, so she had Chengxi’s courtyard tidied up nicely for you.”

Grandma pulled Wen Xin over to sit beside her. Seeing Wei Manqing, Wen Xin suppressed the coldness in her demeanor and said lightly, “Thank you.”

“Don’t be so polite. Chengxi rarely comes back to the capital within a year. Now that you can come and stay, it’s the best. I heard that you still have exams in a week. I’ve already talked to your uncle. If Chengxi isn’t home when it’s time for your exam, we’ll take you there.”

Wei Manqing liked Wen Xin a lot now. She even regretted not leaving a good impression on Wen Xin when they first met. She wondered if Wen Xin would blame her.

“Chengxi will be back in three days.” Wen Xin smiled faintly at Wei Manqing.

Their sudden warmth made her somewhat uncomfortable.

“Alright, alright. It’s getting late. Let’s eat first. Butler, we’re ready to eat…”

Grandma was worried that Wen Xin would be hungry at this hour, so when Wen Xin came in, she had the seafood steamed and urged everyone to eat quickly.

During the meal, Wen Xin looked at the table full of seafood with some helplessness. Although she liked seafood, she had been spoiled by Mu Chengxi over the past year and rarely peeled shrimp herself.

Seeing Wen Xin’s expression, Grandma smiled indulgently. “Chengxi specially instructed that you like seafood but find it troublesome. You don’t have to worry. Someone will peel the shrimp and crab for you. You can just eat.”

Sure enough, as soon as Grandma finished speaking, two servants sat down at a small table nearby and began to peel shrimp and crab for Wen Xin. Soon, a plate full of shrimp and crab meat was placed in front of her.

Mu Chengxu turned to look at Wen Xin, winked at her, and chuckled, ” You don’t know this. The only person who has received such treatment since young is Mu Chengxi. Who would have thought that the Mu family’s darling would be peeling shrimp and crab for you? It’s really surprising.”

Wen Xin listened to Mu Chengxu’s words and smiled faintly. Indeed, Mu Chengxi had done a lot for her.

“That’s because Chengxi knows how to take care of his wife. If he didn’t treat you well, do you think we would approve of you marrying that brat? Pursuing a wife naturally requires setting aside your pride.”

Old Madam Mu found Wen Xin very likable. She felt that even if Mu Chengxi went to the sky to pick stars for Wen Xin, she wouldn’t be surprised. She thought Wen Xin was worth it.

Listening to Mu Chengxu and Grandma’s words, Wei Manqing chuckled. She picked up the chopsticks from the table and picked up a piece of ribs for Wen Xin.

“Chengxi has always been unique since he was a child, only listening to

Grandpa’s words. It wasn’t until I met you that I realized he’s also a wife lover.”

The three women chatted and laughed, and Wen Xin heard many interesting stories about Mu Chengxi’s childhood from them. Before they knew it, it was already past ten o’clock.

Seeing that Grandma was getting tired, Wen Xin persuaded her to rest.

After Grandma went to bed, Wei Manqing took the initiative to offer to take her back to Mu Chengxi’s courtyard. Wen Xin guessed that Wei Manqing had something to say to her and didn’t refuse.

On the way back to Mu Chengxi’s courtyard, Wei Manqing suddenly held Wen

Xin’s hand. “Why are your hands so cold, little girl? It’s cold outside, so wear more clothes.”

“I’m not wearing less clothes. My hands just tend to get cold.”

Wen Xin couldn’t figure out what Wei Manqing wanted to say. Did she know about her health condition? She wondered if Wei Manqing would be unhappy knowing that she couldn’t conceive.

“Wen Xin, you’re a smart girl. You should know that Aunt had something to tell you when I offered to walk you back. If you don’t want to hear it, don’t blame Aunt for nagging.”

Wen Xin looked at Wei Manqing’s gentle smile and found her somewhat similar to Mu Chengxi, but Mu Chengxi’s features seemed even more stunning. “Auntie, just say it if you have something to say.”

When Wen Xin decided to undergo treatment, she had already thought about what she would face if her condition couldn’t be cured, but she didn’t expect to be discovered so soon…

“Then I’ll be straightforward! Wei Manqing looked at Wen Xin with a gentle smile, her entire person looked even more intellectual and elegant.

I heard that Zhao Yuyao came yesterday? Did he meet your grandfather? Wei Butler told me that Zhao Honghan will be coming to Beijing for a job review next month. Have you heard whether Chengxi’s aunt will come over?” Hearing that Wei Manqing wanted to ask about Wei Mantong, Wen Xin’s nervous mood became even more unsettled.

She quietly patted her chest. It seemed that she really couldn’t do anything wrong. This was too thrilling.

“Auntie, are you asking about Auntiy? Zhao Yuyao did come with his classmates. He heard someone mentioning Auntie deliberately at the restaurant, so he got angry and came forward. He even met with Grandpa.”

“I don’t know if Aunty will come to Beijing, but Uncle Zhao won’t leave Aunty alone in Ice City. In fact, that’s not even a problem.”

Wen Xin was uncertain about Wei Mantong’s thoughts, but she knew Zhao Honghan well enough to be sure that if someone was left behind, it would definitely be Zhao Yuyao, not Auntie.

“According to what you said, Chengxi’s aunt will come to Beijing? Then I need to prepare. I want to persuade her to return to the Wei family. The situation with Zhao Shisheng in the past was very unpleasant because of Zhao family’s status..”
