Watching Wen Xin’s figure, Yuan Junye finally understood what Wen Xin meant by ‘mutual pursuit’. This is probably what love should look like.

Wen Xin came out of the Tianye Technology office building and saw Mu Chengxi’s car parked outside.

She hurried to the car, and Mu Chengxi had just stepped out of the car, immediately embracing Wen Xin in his arms.

Mu Chengxi held Wen Xin, opened the passenger door, and urged her to get in,

“It’s cold outside. Let’s talk inside the car.”

Wen Xin got into the car, and Mu Chengxi circled around, opening the driver’s seat door and getting in.

The first thing he did when he got into the car was to hold Wen Xin’s hand. After confirming that Wen Xin’s hands weren’t too cold, he satisfactorily let go of her hand and then turned the car’s heater up by two degrees.

Watching Mu Chengxi’s attentive actions, Wen Xin’s lips curled up slightly. She looked at Mu Chengxi and asked, “Have you been waiting here for me all this time?”

“No, I just arrived…” Mu Chengxi glanced at his watch and replied to Wen Xin’s question in a gentle tone.

“I just arrived half an hour ago. I went to the Mu Group to take a look and attended a meeting as an observer before coming out. Liang Luoyu has been calling me. Are you interested in attending his gathering?”

“Sure, there’s nothing else to do anyway.”

Wen Xin turned her head and looked out of the car window at the snowflakes. She couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. Time passed by so quickly, and before she realized it, it was winter again…

When Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi arrived at the gathering location chosen by Liang Luoyu, the spacious private room was already filled with people. Some were playing mahjong, some were playing billiards, and there was a group of people sitting around Liang Luoyu, asking about the injuries on his body.

When everyone saw Mu Chengxi holding Wen Xin’s hand and walking in from outside, they stopped what they were doing and greeted Mu Chengxi.

“Master Xi, you’re here so late? If Liang Luoyu hadn’t been so sure that you would come, we would have thought you weren’t coming.” A person whom Wen Xin didn’t know sat at the mahjong table, raising his eyebrows teasingly with a sarcastic tone.

But it was clear that his tone wasn’t very friendly.

Mu Chengxi sat down with Wen Xin on the sofa, and he looked at the man with a cold gaze, sneering, “If I knew you were coming, I might not have come.”

Mu Chengxi’s attitude surprised Wen Xin. She glanced at the man beside him and then quickly withdrew her gaze.

She gently pinched Mu Chengxi’s finger and raised her eyebrows at him.

“Qian Meng, say fewer words. It’s not easy for us to see Master Xi in the capital. If you upset Master Xi, we’ll blame you!” Several people jokingly said to the man named Qian Meng, their tone clearly carrying a hint of sarcasm.

Mu Chengxi lowered his eyes and looked at Wen Xin, ignoring those people.

Liang Luoyu looked at Mu Chengxi’s calm face, unable to discern Mu Chengxi’s mood at the moment. He picked up his phone and sent a WeChat message to Mu Chengxi.

“Master Xi, I can confirm that I didn’t invite him over. He came on his own, and I couldn’t kick him out either.”

Mu Chengxi sat on the sofa, head lowered, seemingly having a conversation with Wen Xin, completely ignoring the message from Liang Luoyu.

Liang Luoyu, seeing Mu Chengxi’s lack of reaction, felt a bit anxious. He wanted to say something but didn’t dare to. He could only look at Mu Chengxi pitifully.

Noticing Liang Luoyu’s gaze, Wen Xin followed his eyes and looked at him. She raised an eyebrow subtly.

“Do you need something?”

“Nothing…” Liang Luoyu looked at Wen Xin with some helplessness. He felt that Wen Xin was doing it on purpose; she must have known he needed something.

Hearing Liang Luoyu say there was nothing, Wen Xin smirked. How could he possibly have nothing to say, given his pitiful appearance? But Wen Xin didn’t want to pay him any attention.

Just then, the door of the private room opened again, and Gu Xiang walked in, looking extremely excited.

“Brothers, I’ve brought you a surprise! Ta-da…”

Seeing that the entire room was filled with familiar faces, Gu Xiang felt that bringing Jiang Linyan with her today was a particularly correct decision. These people must be very happy to see Jiang Linyan after such a long time.

“Gu Xiang, when did you come back? And you’ve brought us a surprise! Let’s see what good things you’ve brought.”

Everyone’s eyes fell on Gu Xiang, and they were all eager to see the surprise she mentioned.

Gu Xiang’s timing was perfect, relieving the awkward atmosphere in the room.

Amidst the eager gazes of everyone, Gu Xiang held Jiang Linyan’s hand and brought her into the room from outside.

As soon as everyone saw Jiang Linyan, they fell into silence.

But the silence only lasted for a moment. Afterward, the room erupted into loud cheers.

“When did Miss Jiang come back?”

“Gu Xiang, your surprise is too big! You actually brought Linyan here. This surprise of yours is really huge!”

The voices in the private room were loud and ear-piercing, attracting passersby to watch.

Jiang Linyan realized that the commotion was a bit too much and felt a little embarrassed. She casually closed the door to the private room and spoke softly, “Alright, alright, don’t be too exaggerated. I feel embarrassed by your praise.”

As she spoke, Jiang Linyan’s gaze unconsciously drifted towards Mu Chengxi’s direction.

At this moment, Mu Chengxi was holding Wen Xin, resting his chin on her shoulder, and watching Wen Xin play a game. He was not at all disturbed by the noise around him.

Wen Xin was also playing the game quietly, but her brows furrowed from time to time, seemingly annoyed by the noise around her. Her gaming movements became somewhat fierce unconsciously.

“Liang Luoyu, what’s wrong with you? Why are you still in a wheelchair? I met Chengxi a couple of days ago, and he didn’t mention anything about you being injured.”

Jiang Linyan walked up to Liang Luoyu, surprised, completely ignoring the people around who wanted to greet her. Her target was clear; it seemed that her eyes were only on Liang Luoyu.

“Oh? Linyan, you’re really not loyal. You come back to the country and don’t even contact us. You meet with Master Xi alone… Is there something going on between you two?” Qian Meng looked at Mu Chengxi, who was sitting quietly on the sofa, deliberately teasing him.

Jiang Linyan didn’t get angry when she heard Qian Meng’s teasing. Instead, a faint blush appeared on her cheeks, and she spoke with a slightly coquettish tone, “Qian Meng, what nonsense are you talking about? You’ve misunderstood. I just happened to meet Chengxi when I went to Beijing University to deliver some materials for PhD students. We just chatted casually.”

Everyone present was intelligent enough to understand what Jiang Linyan meant.

Jiang Linyan didn’t hide her affection for Mu Chengxi at all; she was openly expressing her feelings for him..
