A Big Shot's Woman Is Wild and Fierce

Chapter 833: Chapter 832: Do You Think I Need This Thing?
 

“Yes, I’ve arranged with Sun Ning, and I’m taking her to the laboratory now,” Wen Xin said, unintentionally glancing in the direction of Wei Manqing and Mu Chengxu as she spoke.

“Aunt, sister, I have some urgent matters to deal with, so I won’t be staying at home. I will need to go back to the Wen family after I am done,” Wen Xin began gently, her voice carrying a tinge of fatigue that evoked a sense of pity.

“Alright, you go ahead with whatever you have to do,” Wei Manqing understood Wen Xin’s unique situation and quickly agreed without any hesitation when Wen Xin spoke, not stopping her.

Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi left the villa with Xiao Mi in tow, Mu Bei had the car waiting in the villa’s courtyard. Seeing the three of them walk out together, he quickly got out of the car, opened the door, and ushered Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi in.

After Wen Xin got in, Mu Chengxi cast a casual glance at Xiao Mi, opened the passenger door, and gently nudged Xiao Mi, “Get in.”

Listening to Mu Chengxi’s cold tone, Xiao Mi looked up at him, said nothing, and obediently got into the passenger seat, buckling the seat belt with well-behaved movements.

Mu Chengxi watched Xiao Mi’s actions, followed suit by getting into the car, and sat down next to Wen Xin, allowing her to lean on him so she wouldn’t feel too uncomfortable.

Mu Chengxi knew that Wen Xin, despite saying she was all right, could not have recovered so quickly after such a serious car accident.

The driver, Mu Bei, sensing that the situation was not normal, drove in silence, not uttering a single unnecessary word.

The car stopped outside the Research Institute. Mu Chengxi, noticing Wen Xin’s grave expression, spoke softly, “Shall I take her in while you wait for us here?”

“We don’t have to go in together, do we?” Although it’d been a long time since Wen Xin had entered this research institute, she didn’t want to, but for Xiao Mi’s sake, she was willing to overcome the unease in her heart. Right now, nothing seemed more important than Xiao Mi.

As Wen Xin stepped out of the car, Mu Bei retrieved a folded wheelchair from the trunk. Wen Xin frowned slightly, a shadow falling across her face, as she looked at the wheelchair placed beside her legs.

“Do you think I need this already?”

“Not at all, Miss Wen. I was just thinking, given the size of the research institute and your recent recovery, I worried that walking too much might tire you, so I arranged for this,” Mu Bei spoke earnestly, avoiding Wen Xin’s gaze.

At that moment, Wen Xin didn’t have much time to listen to Mu Bei’s blatant lies, knowing full well who had arranged it and seeing that he refused to admit it.

Without much hesitation, Wen Xin sat down in the wheelchair. Mu Chengxi approached from behind, took the wheelchair from Mu Bei, and began pushing Wen Xin towards the research institute.

Perhaps because it was evening, the research institute was very quiet, with only a few researchers in white coats walking around the lobby, paying them no mind.

When Mu Chengxi pushed Wen Xin to the elevator, he lowered his head and whispered, “Shall I call Sun Ning to come down and receive us?”

“No need.”

With that, Wen Xin stood up from the wheelchair and placed her finger on the elevator’s fingerprint scanner. As soon as her finger touched it, the elevator doors opened.

Settling back into the wheelchair, Wen Xin spoke to Mu Chengxi with a detached tone, “We can go to the sixteenth floor, Sun Ning’s private laboratory is on the sixteenth floor.”

Mu Chengxi pushed Wen Xin into the elevator, while Xiao Mi hesitated at the entrance. Wen Xin lazily lifted her eyelids, impatiently urging him on with a flick of her gaze.

“Hurry up, don’t dawdle.”

Wen Xin’s mood was somewhat complicated at that moment, and she behaved a bit coldly toward Xiao Mi. Since Xiao Mi was already a bit scared of Wen Xin, he quickly entered the elevator and steadied himself beside her upon her command.

Mu Bei too followed into the elevator behind her.

As everyone was inside the elevator, Wen Xin lifted her head and leaned it against Mu Chengxi’s hand, looking at Mu Chengxi with a soft tone and a hint of coquettishness.

“After the blood draw, shall we go for Old Capital City hot pot? It’s been too long, and I suddenly miss it.”

Seeing Wen Xin’s charming face, Mu Chengxi nodded gently, “Sure, Mu Bei will book a private room later, we’ll head over after this.”

Although Mu Chengxi wasn’t sure what test Xiao Mi was going to undergo, once Wen Xin made a request, she would arrange it; even if there was a long wait, Mu Chengxi would ensure that Wen Xin got to eat what she wanted.

The elevator *dinged*, reaching the sixteenth floor. Mu Chengxi, pushing Wen gently, exited the elevator. Wen Xin unconsciously urged Xiao Mi to hurry up, her dilly-dallying attitude making Wen Xin somewhat impatient.

“I’m coming.” Xiao Mi quickened his pace, following closely behind Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi until they reached Sun Ning’s lab.

After receiving Wen Xin’s call, Sun Ning had already prepared everything she had asked for. Seeing Wen Xin accompany Xiao Mi, he wasn’t too surprised.

“Are you doing a paternity test?”

“No, the paternity test has already been done. She has toxins in her body, I need you to investigate what kind of toxins they are, and I hope you can treat her.”

As Wen Xin spoke, her gaze fell on Xiao Mi behind her. This time, she didn’t urge Xiao Mi to hurry, but looked at her with a gentle gaze.

“We can talk about anything else at home. He is the only one who can help you, and I hope you can trust him. He will and is capable of detoxifying you.”

For some reason, Wei Manqing was willing to trust Sun Ning, and he didn’t have a choice but to trust Sun Ning.

Sun Ning looked at Xiao Mi with a sunny smile, raised his hand, and greeted her, “Hello, long time no see!”

Xiao Mi glanced indifferently at Sun Ning, ignoring his friendly gesture completely.

Wen Xin couldn’t help but frown at Xiao Mi’s actions, not understanding why Xiao Mi wasn’t as well-behaved as Wen Huai.

Mu Bei, standing behind Mu Chengxi, chuckled softly.

Hearing Mu Bei’s laughter, Wen Xin turned her wheelchair around to look at Mu Bei, raising an eyebrow, “What are you laughing at?”

“Nothing, I was just thinking Xiao Mi’s character seems a bit like Miss Wen’s—both have that untamed, rebellious streak.”

On hearing Mu Bei’s words, Wen Xin turned around to look at Xiao Mi, who was seated not far away waiting for the blood draw, and smiled slightly, “You’re not wrong; she does resemble me a bit.”

For the first time, Wen Xin didn’t think Mu Bei’s words were out of place, but instead nodded in agreement. Xiao Mi’s unruly nature did indeed resemble her own.
