From childhood, all eyes in Gu Yanzhe’s family were on him. Gu Yanzhe had been by Mu Chengxi’s side and brought many benefits to the family. Everyone felt that he was the most outstanding. Even her parents only had Gu Yanzhe in their eyes.
It was only after Gu Qiang’s success in the Hacker Alliance and her accomplishments at the Black Hat Conference that her family began to value her. Now, she faced expulsion from the Hacker Alliance.
“It’s okay, I’ll send you in. Just go directly to the headquarters and find that old man, the Chairman. He’ll arrange everything for you.”
Wen Xin said this and quickly dialed a number on her phone. The call was swiftly answered, as if the other end had been eagerly awaiting her news.
“Her coding skills are too poor. I’m sending her over for a month; teach her well. If she improves after a month, I’ll keep her; if not, you can train her yourself, but don’t bother me again!”
“Sure, no problem. When will you visit the Alliance, Master? Recently, some forces have been trying to attack me, and I’m barely holding on!”
A robust elderly voice came from the phone, surprising Gu Qiang, who found the tone familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before.
“Handle it yourself. If you can’t manage this small issue, the Hacker Alliance might as well disband!” Wen Xin leaned lazily against the bookcase, looking down at Gu Qiang.
“I’ll leave the training details to you and Gu Qiang. You have one month. After that, I’ll be too busy to help.”
Without waiting for a response, Wen Xin hung up the phone and raised an eyebrow at Gu Qiang, “The Chairman of the Hacker Alliance will contact you soon. Whether you go to the Hacker Alliance is up to you. You’re free to leave now.”
Gu Qiang was stunned by Wen Xin’s words, “Even though I wronged you unknowingly, I still dislike and resent you deep down. Why don’t you blame me? Instead, you’re helping me?”
“Blame you? Help you?” Wen Xin laughed at Gu Qiang’s words.
“To be honest, I do hate trouble. I was angry because you were bothering me, but then I realized you were just being used. Just remember to stay away from Wei Shisheng. She’s cunning, and you’re no match for her. As for the rest, it doesn’t really affect me, so let’s consider the matter resolved.”
Gu Qiang, seeing Wen Xin’s easygoing demeanor, suddenly found the younger girl rather likable, wondering why she had ever found her annoying.
“I still need to apologize and thank you…”
“There’s no need for formalities. I don’t like them. Your brother is waiting downstairs. I guess he might be worried I’m bullying you. You should go down before he comes rushing up.”
“He wouldn’t dare, not with Mu Chengxi here. But speaking of which, how did you end up with Mu Chengxi? Even though he’s the head of the Mu family, he’s known as an ignorant and incompetent playboy. Many in the capital are waiting for him to ruin the Mu family…”
“Really? Let them wait then. I doubt they’ll see it happen.” Wen Xin chuckled at Gu Qiang’s brazenness. Mu Chengxi’s power was unfathomable, and the Mu family meant little in his eyes.
“Knock, knock..”
Mu Chengxi knocked and entered the room, immediately noticing Wen Xin’s pale complexion. He quickly went to her side and enveloped her in his arms, concerned, “Why do you look so pale?”
“Um… It’s that time of the month…” Overwhelmed by Mu Chengxi’s embrace, Wen Xin pushed gently against his arm.
Nan Xu and Gu Qiang, witnessing their interaction, subtly motioned towards the door, indicating it was time to leave. Gu Qiang caught the hint, quietly exiting with Nan Xu and chuckling silently at the sight of bite marks on Mu Chengxi’s neck.
Wen Xin watched them leave with a smirk, then gave up resisting and leaned into Mu Chengxi, wrapping her arms around his neck.
“I’m hungry. Is there anything to eat? After eating, I want to sleep some more.”
Mu Chengxi, seeing Wen Xin’s fragile state during her period, was filled with tenderness, “Lunch is ready. Let’s eat downstairs, and then you can continue resting.” He lowered his head and gently planted a kiss on the corner of Wen Xin’s lips.
Mu Chengxi wanted to pick Wen Xin up, but Wen Xin gently patted his arm. “You don’t have to hug me. I can do it myself.” When Wen Xin thought of the crowd downstairs, she felt a little embarrassed. She did not want to become the subject of their idle chatter.
When Wen Xin went downstairs, the house was empty except for a lavish lunch prepared on the dining table.
“Isn’t anyone staying for lunch? Why is there so much food prepared?”
“They planned to eat and then go to the horse track this afternoon. Since you’re not feeling well, we won’t join them. They’ve gone to the resort for lunch instead.”
Mu Chengxi led Wen Xin to the dining room, where all her favorite dishes were still warm, likely freshly delivered.
“You start eating. I’ll go close the balcony windows.” Mu Chengxi looked at the raindrops falling outside the window. He felt that it was a little cold. Concerned for Wen Xin’s warmth, Mu Chengxi headed to the balcony as she began her meal.
Wen Xin did not stand on ceremony. She picked up the bowl and chopsticks at the side and scooped a bowl of rice for herself and Mu Chengxi. He pulled out a chair and sat down to eat.
After eating, Wen Xin felt better, her complexion improved. Resting her chin in one hand, she casually chewed the beef in her mouth, eyeing Mu Chengxi. “I heard Aunt Fu’s cooking is delicious. I wonder if I can try it tonight?”
Mu Chengxi, peeling shrimp for Wen Xin, looked up, puzzled by her hint.
“Did you mention that Aunt Fu cooks well and you’d like to try her food tonight?
“Sure. I’ll call Grandma later and have Mu Dong pick up Aunt Fu. What would you like to eat?”
Mu Chengxi’s first reaction was that Wen Xin was not feeling well, and it was cold outside. It would be more convenient for Mu Dong to bring Auntie Fu over..
