For many years, she had considered countless possibilities, but never once did she suspect that the person her father trusted the most would be the one who betrayed them.

Mu Chengxi watched the tears slide from the corners of Wen Xin’s eyes, feeling a sharp pain in his chest. When he heard her say she missed him, his anger vanished completely.

He bent down and held Wen Xin tightly in his arms, careful not to touch her wounds, which made his embrace awkward.

“What should I do with you like this?” Mu Chengxi’s hoarse and deep voice reached Wen Xin’s ears, snapping her back to reality. Held in his embrace, she felt Mu Chengxi’s warmth and smelled his familiar scent.

She was sure the man holding her was truly Mu Chengxi.

“When did you get here? Did Chu Yunxuan tell you?” Wen Xin was surprised, even though her voice was raspy and weak.

She rested her head against Mu Chengxi’s cheek and gently pinched his ear, uncertain how to begin explaining the situation she was entangled in.

“What now? Even at this point, you want to keep things from me? You’re quite something, aren’t you? You act one way when you’re angry withbecause I kept things from you, and now this. You really play both sides.”

Mu Chengxi released Wen Xin, gently laid her back on the bed, and straightened the blanket over her. He then bent down to gaze into her tear-moistened, beautiful eyes.

“I didn’t expect that person to want to trap us, but I can explain that.”

Wen Xin blinked up at Mu Chengxi with a pleading look, understanding now the panic he had felt before.

“I really can explain,” she said, noticing that Mu Chengxi was looking down at her but remained silent, which made her anxious.

“No need to rush your explanation. I had Mu Nan prepare sfood, and I’ll have him bring it over now. Eat first, then take your time. We have enough time.”

Seeing Wen Xin’s emotional state, Mu Chengxi poured a cup of warm water, helped her drink it, and spoke in a gentle, soothing voice.

As Mu Chengxi called Mu Nan, Wen Xin reached out and took his hand, just watching him intently.

Mu Nan, Chu Yunxuan, and Yan Yu were waiting outside. Chu Yunxuan and Yan Yu immediately rushed into the room, while Mu Nan went to prepare a meal for Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi.

“Wen Xin, you finally woke up. If you hadn’t, your man was about to kill me!”

Chu Yunxuan was thrilled to see Wen Xin awake and blurted out her grievances.

Mu Chengxi glanced at Chu Yunxuan and snorted coldly, “She’s still trying to please me. What use is your complaining to her?”

“Exactly, complaining tois useless. I have made a mistake too, and I am also seeking forgiveness myself. I can’t help you.”

Seeing Mu Chengxi, Wen Xin’s condition improved significantly. Though still pale, her spirits were visibly lifted, making Chu Yunxuan feel that bringing Mu Chengxi here was indeed the right way to atone.

“Alright, alright, you’re both right. Don’t go too far!” Chu Yunxuan gently pinched Wen Xin’s pale cheek, her expression tinged with pity.

“You two should rest. It’s fine with Chengxi here.” Wen Xin glanced at Yan Yu hiding behind Chu Yunxuan and too afraid to speak. She couldn’t help but chuckle, then waved them off, indicating they didn’t need to stay.

“Okay, then we’ll head back first. Callif you need anything, and I’ll csee you tomorrow! Young Marshal Mu, take good care of Little Xinxin.”

Mu Chengxi sat by Wen Xin’s bedside and responded faintly, not even sparing Chu Yunxuan a glance as she walked out the door.

Just as Chu Yunxuan stepped out, she saw Mu Nan arriving with dinner for Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi. Her seductive eyes lifted slightly in a gesture to greet him, but before she could speak, Mu Nan brushed past her and headed into the room.

Yan Yu, who had witnessed this, chuckled from behind Chu Yunxuan, “Sister, that man doesn’t even see you. Maybe you shouldn’t try so hard?”

“Not try? If I don’t, I’ll never catch his eye. Let’s leave it be. I’m tired today; we’ll find another opportunity tomorrow.”

Mu Nan delivered the meal to Wen Xin’s room and politely greeted her.

“Miss Wen, how are you feeling? Do you needto call a doctor to check on you?”

“No need; the wound isn’t deep. It’s just a scratch from a bullet that wasn’t promptly treated. You should go and rest.”

Wen Xin had a good impression of the proactive Mu Nan. Her usually stern tone sounded much gentler now due to her being injured.

“Master Xi, I’ll be outside. Callif you need anything.” Mu Nan nodded to Wen Xin but didn’t leave immediately without Mu Chengxi’s directive. He wanted to ensure their safety.

“That won’t be necessary. Go to a nearby hotel and rest. Also, please prepare sfresh clothes forto bring over tomorrow morning.”

Mu Chengxi then set the food on the table in front of Wen Xin and dismissed Mu Nan.

Respecting Mu Chengxi’s instructions, Mu Nan agreed and left the room, carefully closing the door behind him.

Now alone in the room, Mu Chengxi fed Wen Xin sporridge, but she couldn’t eat much and watched as Mu Chengxi finished the rest.

After eating, Mu Chengxi cleaned up everything and brought warm water to clean the dried blood off Wen Xin.

While Mu Chengxi was cleaning her, Wen Xin suddenly took his hand and pulled him to sit beside her on the bed.

“I never thought it would be so dangerous; I just felt it might be risky when I set out.”

“The job I took was to treat Aiden. I wanted to tell you, but you were busy, and I didn’t want to worry you while you were handling other matters, so I didn’t say anything.”

Mu Chengxi looked down at Wen Xin, her eyes red with strain. He couldn’t really be angry seeing her like this; all he felt was a deep sympathy.

“Knowing it was for treating Aiden, why didn’t you take more people with you or arrange it better? If you had told me, even if I were busy with matters in Continent F, I wouldn’t have let you go into danger alone.”

“I did make arrangements. I even used a missile to blow up that villa. I didn’t let off those who hurt me.”
