Yuan Junye looked at the tablet in Liang Luoyu’s hands and took a step back defensively. He looked at Wen Xin with a blank expression. He did not know what he had done wrong to anger the three men behind her.
“Why are you scaring him?”
Wen Xin glared at Liang Luoyu. Liang Luoyu could hear the displeasure in her tone. He rubbed his nose and took a step back, putting the tablet behind him.
Seeing Liang Luoyu retreat, Wen Xin looked at Yuan Junye, her tone cold and irritated.
“Where is it? Give it to me. I’ll go back first, and if there’s anything else, we’ll talk tomorrow.”
Yuan Junye opened the car door, took out a USB flash drive, and handed it to Wen Xin. Wen Xin looked at the flash drive and frowned. Wasn’t it better to directly transmit it to her directly? He almost got beaten up.
“Let’s go.” Wen Xin put the flash drive into her backpack and casually waved at Yuan Junye before leaving the airport.
Looking at Wen Xin’s back as she left, Yuan Junye noticed something was wrong with Wen Xin. The last time Yuan Junye saw her, the cold aura around her had clearly weakened a lot. But today, she seemed to have returned to her previous self. He wondered what had happened to her.
Mu Bei’s car was parked outside the airport. Mu Chengxi followed behind Wen Xin. His big hand kept wanting to hold Wen Xin’s hand, but every time he did, he would be flung away. The two people who followed behind even heard the crisp sound of slapping.
Gu Yanzhe deliberately slowed down his footsteps and looked at Liang Luoyu, who was watching the show like a fool. He thought that Liang Luoyu might not know what danger is.
After placing Mu Chengxi’s luggage in the car, Gu Yanzhe said respectfully to Mu Chengxi, who was about to get into the car, “Master Xi, I’m going to the research institute for a while. I won’t be going back with you. If there’s anything, call me.”
Mu Chengxi was not in the mood to care about Gu Yanzhe. He responded coldly and bent to get into the car.

Liang Luoyu, who had gotten into the car, could clearly feel that the
atmosphere in the car was not quite right. However, he had no other mission to return to the capital. Even if he were to go home, it would be on the same route as Mu Chengxi. It was not appropriate for him to get out of the car so abruptly.
He sat in the car with a conflicted expression and braced himself to fasten his seatbelt. He pretended to accidentally touch the button closing the privacy partition in the car.
Wen sat lazily in her seat, playing games on her phone, testing the new game from Yuan Junye’s company.
“You came to the capital this time especially for Junye?”
Mu Chengxi looked at Wen Xin for a long time before he spoke slowly. Wen Xin had once explained her relationship with Yuan Junye, but Mu Chengxi was still bothered by the fact that Wen Xin and Yuan Junye had left the Mu family.
“Not entirely. I promised you I’d check your grandmother and will keep my word. I also promised Grandpa Ou that I’d attend his birthday party. I don’t want him to be disappointed, so I might go to Yuan Junye’s technology company to participate in the design of a new game. I still have a project that I want to research, and I need his company’s equipment.”
Yuan Junye’s company equipment was all from Continent M. It was the most advanced equipment in Wenxin’s headquarters. He dared to say that not many companies in the country could compare to his equipment. This was also why Yuan Junye’s technology company developed so quickly.
Wen Xin’s gaze was fixated on the game. Mu Chengxi felt defeated when he saw that Wen Xin was unwilling to even look at him. “When are you going to visit the old mansion?”
“Let’s wait for a day or two. I’m not in a good mood right now. It’ll affect the treatment if I’m not in a good mood. I’ll check on Old Madam Mu when I’m in a good mood.”
Wen Xin finished her game. She put away her phone and raised her hand to massage her aching temples. She looked up at Mu Chengxi and smiled helplessly.
“I suddenly don’t know how to get along with you. You’d better not get too close to me. I’m afraid I won’t be able to hold back and attack you.”
Whenever Wen Xin saw Mu Chengxi, she felt he was rejecting her. This feeling annoyed her.
Wen Xin’s agitated look made Mu Chengxi feel at a loss. In the past, a simple hug could make Wen Xin’s irritation disappear, but now, her irritation was because of him, and he did not know how to make that go away.
“We can talk about what happened in the morning.”
Mu Chengxi thought about it during the entire flight. He felt that perhaps he had not expressed himself clearly, which had caused Wen Xin to misunderstand. He did not mean to criticize Wen Xin tor being too young. He just wanted to protect her.
“I don’t want to hear it. Let’s wait until I’m twenty years old before we discuss those things. It’s too early to talk about those things.”
Wen Xin had never done anything that she was not confident of. However, she had lost control of herself time and time again when it came to Mu Chengxi. She could not control her heart and her emotions. This made her feel helpless and afraid.
She had never felt this fear, even when she was facing death.
Wen Xin was not afraid of death, but she was afraid that someone would not treat her well. However, just as she wanted to let go of everything and live a good life, she became afraid…
“I want to look for Nan Xu. Just get Mu Bei to drop me off by the roadside.”
“I’ll send you over…” Mu Chengxi seemed to have noticed the uneasiness in Wen Xin’s heart. He did not dare to force Wen Xin, so he could only discuss with Wen Xin in a gentle voice.
“No need, stop the car!”
Wen Xin’s voice was extremely cold and distant. The coldness made Mu Chengxi realize that there was something wrong with Wen Xin.
Mu Dong’s sharp senses realized that something was wrong. He immediately stepped on the brakes and stopped the car by the side of the road.
Wen Xin opened the car door and was about to exit the car. However, before she could jump out, Mu Chengxi grabbed her wrist. He pulled her into his arms and hugged Wen Xin gently. “Let Mu Bei send you there. Liang Luoyu and I will get off. It’s not easy to hail a taxi here.”
Wen Xin did not refuse. Through Mu Chengxi’s shirt, she bit his shoulder hard. Mu Chengxi could not help but groan, but he did not dodge.
After about a minute, Wen Xin finally let go. There was an obvious blood stain on Mu Chengxi’s shoulder. Wen Xin looked at the blood stain and gently pushed Mu Chengxi before sitting back in her seat. Her actions were not as arrogant as before, but she seemed to be on guard.
“Then Liang Luoyu and I will get out of the car first and let Mu Dong send you to Nan Xu.”
“No need. I don’t want to look for Nan Xu anymore. Let’s go home. I’m a little tired.”
After Mu Chengxi’s hug, Wen Xin’s emotions suddenly became more normal.
She did not know why she was so useless. Not only had she been poisoned by Mu Chengxi, but she used him as her antidote..
