Chapter 967: Chapter 965: The Tacit Understanding Between the Two, Both Having the Same Idea

Mu Bei followed closely behind Mu Chengxi when he inadvertently saw a figure that greatly resembled Wen Xin. He paused unconsciously and then quickly walked up to Mu Chengxi’s side.

“Master Xi, I just saw Miss Wen at the airport exit. It seemed like Miss Wen and Qian Meng…”

Hearing Mu Bei’s words and having not seen Wen Xin for several days, Mu Chengxi unconsciously stopped in his tracks and looked over, but did not see Wen Xin’s figure.

After scanning the area, Mu Chengxi did not say anything, but simply lifted his leg and walked in the direction he had come from.

He still had his matters to handle. Once he finished, he could go home and be with Wen Xin.

Late at night, as Wen Xin slept, she was awakened by the sound of the door opening. She did not get up immediately; instead, she just opened her eyes and quietly waited for the person coming in to get closer.

As the footsteps neared, Wen Xin smelled a familiar scent and the next second, she was enveloped in a warm embrace.

Mu Chengxi held Wen Xin, a low laugh escaping his throat as he buried his face in the nape of her neck and gently kissed her there.

“Did I wake you?” Mu Chengxi knew that Wen Xin was now awake. His voice was husky with a seductive undertone, causing Wen Xin to sink involuntarily into his charm.

Wen Xin wrapped her arms tightly around the man nestled against her collarbone, a moan unconsciously escaping her lips, “Mmm~”

…

At dawn, Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi lay in bed together, Wen Xin’s head resting on Mu Chengxi’s chest, listening to his strong and steady heartbeat.

She cherished this tenderness dearly, knowing that after today, the violent turmoil of Independent State would begin.

Mu Chengxi was gently pinching Wen Xin’s soft ear with one hand while propping himself up with the other, his gaze tenderly on the little woman lying on his chest.

Still flushing from passion, Wen Xin looked adorably pink, an exceedingly lovely sight.

Mu Chengxi lowered his head and gently kissed Wen Xin’s cheek, his voice hoarse as he spoke, “Yesterday at the airport, did you see me?”

“Yes, I did, but when I saw many people following you, I didn’t call out to you. After I picked up my people, I left.”

Wen Xin extended her arms around Mu Chengxi’s waist, her head instinctively rubbing against his chest, her movements coquettish like a little wild cat, appearing extremely provocative.

“Then why didn’t you call me when you saw me?”

Hearing Wen Xin’s explanation, Mu Chengxi chuckled somewhat helplessly. For a moment, he didn’t know whether to feel happy or sad. It was strange for his girlfriend to see him and not greet him.

Seeming to sense that something was off with Mu Chengxi, Wen Xin lifted her head from his embrace, lying on his arm and looking up at him.

Her bright eyes met Mu Chengxi’s deep ones, and she smiled faintly.

“It wasn’t intentional. When I saw you, you were walking so fast. I was afraid of delaying your matters, and I thought, since you’ve returned to Beijing, you would certainly come back tonight, so I didn’t even lock the door.”

Listening to Wen Xin’s explanation, Mu Chengxi’s eyes revealed a tender sentiment, accompanied by a faint smile.

As Wen Xin saw the enchanted look in Mu Chengxi’s eyes, she propped herself up and gently kissed his thin lips, then rested her chin on his chest, languidly lying on his body.

“What were you doing yesterday with so many people? Their faces seemed unfamiliar, as if they were not from the F State.”

Wen Xin had seen people at Mu Chengxi’s F State estate, and her memory was very good. She could tell that those people were strangers.

Mu Chengxi, with lowered eyes, responded softly, “Yes, they are indeed not from the F State base, but they are still our own people. Some forces in Beijing are becoming restless, and I was worried that someone would cause trouble while I was away from Beijing, so I brought some people over.”

Having explained this, Mu Chengxi propped himself up, slowly brought his face close to Wen Xin, and looked at her with a gentle smile.

“Mu Bei said yesterday that he saw you with Qian Meng. What did you guys do yesterday?”

Mu Chengxi had indeed asked Qian Meng to stay close to Wen Xin to protect her, but hearing someone mention that they were frequently seen together, it was inevitable that he felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Seeing Mu Chengxi clearly jealous, Wen Xin remembered that Mu Chengxi was also known by another title: the Jealous King.

Seeing him like this, it was not hard to guess that he was feeling jealous.

Wen Xin did not pull away from Mu Chengxi’s hand that was cupping her chin; instead, she just smiled lightly and raised her eyebrows at Mu Chengxi.

“He was just acting as a driver, accompanying me to the Ou Clan’s place, and then to the airport to pick up some people.”

With these words, Wen Xin shifted her position in Mu Chengxi’s arms, “Our thoughts coincided quite well; you were worried about the chaos in Beijing, while I was concerned about my grandmother and Old Mr. Ou’s safety, so I arranged for some people to come over.”

“With us away from Beijing, there’s no way to ensure its stability, so we needed people like Old Mr. Ou and Old Master Ling to stabilize the situation there.”

“There’s Ling Yichen at Old Master Ling’s side, so there definitely won’t be any problems. The Ou Clan might have Ou Jinzhi, but I heard that you arranged for Jin Zhi to be in the base, and in case Old Mr. Ou runs into trouble, help will be far and insufficient, so it’s better for me to arrange some of my own people to be more at ease.”

“As for your grandfather, I’ve always thought he is not a simple person. He is completely capable of protecting himself. Sometimes, we even need to be wary of him.”

“My biggest concern is for grandma. We no longer have time to move her out, so it’s important that the Mu family becomes the safest place.”

“And there is Zhuge Jingming. With him around, the Green Physician Sect will be fine; with him there, the elders will be safe, so his security is also crucial, which is why I have arranged some people here to protect them.”

Wen Xin thoroughly shared her plan with Mu Chengxi, and Mu Chengxi nodded, feeling that Wen Xin had made a detailed arrangement.

“Having you manage everything by yourself these past few days has really been hard on you,” he said.

Mu Chengxi, feeling sympathetic, gently kissed Wen Xin’s forehead, holding her hand slightly tighter unconsciously, feeling that Wen Xin seemed thinner than when they last met.

Wen Xin wrapped her arms around Mu Chengxi’s shoulders and adjusted her head’s position, lying on his shoulder.

“Have you heard about Ou Shen Zhi?”
