Chapter 765: Chapter 764: I’m Relieved That My Younger Brother Has Grown Up
Wen Xin had grown accustomed to bearing everything herself from a young age, even becoming a protector for others.

Nobody like Mu Chengxi, who protected her, had ever appeared before.

She knew Mu Chengxi was always doing his best to protect her, but she still felt afraid and worried — she feared she would end up alone in the end.

But today, Mu Chengxi made her certain, she could be sure that Mu Chengxi was serious, heartfelt, and truly someone who would not abandon her.

Mu Chengxi wrapped his arms around Wen Xin’s body, feeling the dampness on his shoulder.

He tightly held Wen Xin in his embrace, as if trying to merge her into his body.

Wen Huai sat in the living room, his hands clasped tightly on his lap, feeling somewhat uneasy.

He didn’t know if not telling Wen Xin about his injury would make her blame him, nor was he clear if his injury would disappoint her.

About half an hour later, there was finally movement upstairs. Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi came down. Wen Xin was in front, and Mu Chengxi followed, carrying a suitcase.

Seeing Wen Xin come down from upstairs, Wen Huai quickly stood up and walked to the staircase to wait for her.

As Wen Xin emerged from her room and approached the staircase, she saw Wen Huai sitting on the sofa, and her first impression was that Wen Huai had transformed from a little boy into a man — her brother had grown up.

Wen Xin descended the stairs and wrapped her arms around her brother, who was taller than her, and looked up at him.

“My little brother has become mature! Very nice! I’m quite pleased!”

Wen Xin raised her hand and ruffled Wen Huai’s hair, her eyes brimming with relief.

“Sis, are you not mad at me?” Wen Huai asked, after looking at Wen Xin’s dark, shiny evening scene. He did not see any dissatisfaction in her eyes, which surprised him. Could it be that she wasn’t upset with him?

“Mad at you? Why would I be mad at you? You’re my brother, not my accessory. I should be happy about your growth! I’m really pleased with it.”

Wen Huai embraced Wen Xin tightly, feeling a complex mix of emotions. Although he had grown up without his parents’ presence and Wen Xin not always by his side, at crucial moments, Wen Xin had always been there.

“From now on, I’m no longer the person who only receives protection from my sister. I can protect you too. Believe me, I have the ability to protect you!”

Just as Wen Huai finished speaking, Mu Chengxi walked over, pulled Wen Xin from Wen Huai’s arms, and held her close to himself.

“Alright, I know you’re capable of protecting your sister, but you see, your sister has me. She doesn’t need your protection. You’ve already become a man, so why the whining?”

“Let’s go eat. After dinner, we’re heading to the airport!”

Mu Chengxi, holding Wen Xin, headed toward the dining room, unconcerned whether his actions might disrupt the sibling bond.

Wen Huai watched as Mu Chengxi dominantly walked away with Wen Xin, feeling somewhat helpless. He stood in place, sighing softly.

“Brother-in-law, she is my sister… Do you really need to be so dominant?”

As Mu Chengxi pulled out a chair at the dining table for Wen Xin, he turned his head to look at Wen Huai, who stood there with a woeful expression and gave a faint smile.

“Of course I know she’s your sister; otherwise, your hand would have been broken by the time you were holding her!”

Mu Chengxi’s tone wasn’t harsh, but everyone present could sense the warning in his voice, indicating that his possessiveness had reached its extreme.

After lunch, Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi were sitting in a car together. At that moment, Mu Chengxi was talking on the phone with Gu Yanzhe, who was discussing matters concerning the Jiang family.

“Master Xi, do you know what news I’ve found? I heard that Jiang Linyan is getting engaged. The fiancé is the head of the Kunshan Group…”

Hearing this news and initially leaning against Mu Chengxi, Wen Xin, who was playing with a game, looked up at Gu Yanzhe on the video.

“It’s not exactly the head; it’s the head’s assistant, a person named Xiao Ci. I heard that the Xiao Family is also a significant clan in the Independent State.”

Gu Yanzhe seemed to notice that Wen Xin was watching him, and, already having a rough idea of Wen Xin’s identity, he mentioned this as a way to inquire about the Independent State from her.

Wen Xin gave Gu Yanzhe a cold look, seemingly pondering something, and took about half a minute before slowly beginning to speak.

“The Xiao Family isn’t really a big clan in the Independent State, just a medium-sized one, depending on the Wen family. Xiao Ci’s relationship with Wen Yunuo is similar to your relationship with Mu Chengxi.”

“However, the Old Fox Wen has never regarded the Xiao Family highly. In fact, he has never regarded any other families in the Independent State highly. His ambition is vast… The only ones who can make him compromise are the few old men in the Elders Guild.”

Upon hearing Wen Xin’s explanation, Mu Chengxi turned his head to look at Wen Xin, his eyebrows slightly raised, “That old fox, shouldn’t he be afraid of you? Why would he fear the few old men in the Elders Guild?”

“That question, I’ve also always been unclear about it. I don’t understand the matters between those few old men in the Elders Guild and Old Fox Wen very well. If necessary, I’ve decided to visit the ancient martial arts family; someone older there should know.”

Mu Chengxi gazed at Wen Xin and gently nodded his head, then casually ended the matter with Gu Yanzhe and gently embraced Wen Xin.

“When we get back, let’s arrange to meet with Qian Meng, and ask him to speak with the seniors of his family so we can pay them a visit.”

“Hmm…” Listening to Mu Chengxi casually mentioning Qian Meng, Wen Xin found it somewhat amusing, tilting her head to look at him.

“You’ve been getting along well with Qian Meng lately, huh? What, have you two been in contact privately?”

Looking at the playful interest in Wen Xin’s bright eyes, Mu Chengxi gently smiled, “Well, the contact isn’t that frequent, but if there’s something in Beijing, he’ll share with me. Because of you, we’ve already reconciled…”

Mu Chengxi’s answer drew a faint smile from Wen Xin; he found the way men interacted quite interesting.

“When did you two make up? I didn’t know about it.”

“A while ago, even before you went to City P, we had already made up. His family is inseparable from you, and I couldn’t behave so unreasonably as to become a stumbling block for you. So, I was magnanimous and didn’t fuss over it with him!”

Mu Chengxi glorified himself immensely, and Wen Xin just smiled faintly.

Nevertheless, Wen Xin was still very indulgent with Mu Chengxi, turning around to embrace him, tilting her head and prodding her chin into his chest.

“Thank you for your understanding, my dear crown prince. Love you…”

The words “Love you” rooted Mu Chengxi to the spot. He had heard Wen Xin say “I love you” before, but such casually affectionate words were a first for him.

“Little ancestor, what did you just say? Could you repeat that?”
