Approaching Wen Xin, Mu Chengxi bent down and took her hand, comforting her with his familiar presence, which eased her restlessness significantly.

Completely ignoring the onlookers, he gently lifted Wen Xin’s hat and kissed her.

“Why are you sitting here? Are you cold?”

“Young Marshal Mu, could you not start with the public displays of affection? We haven’t had much for lunch, and you don’t have to care for us like this, do you?”

Chu Yunxuan couldn’t help but show her disapproval of Mu Chengxi and Wen Xin’s sweet interaction, feeling a bit jealous of their closeness.

Hearing Chu Yunxuan refer to Wen Xin’s boyfriend as “Young Marshal Mu,” Chu Mufeng gave Mu Chengxi a few more glances. This man had the looks that could captivate many. If he were in the entertainment industry, he would not have the chance to become famous!

“Didn’t have lunch?”

“Not really hungry…”

Wen Xin naturally raised her arms to hug Mu Chengxi, who, without hesitation, picked her up. He then glanced at Chu Yunxuan and Tan Xingyue.

“I’m taking her back to rest. Gu Yanzhe will come later with the Su family to discuss the burial of Grandma and Grandpa. Let the Su family handle it.”

Mu Chengxi was reluctant to let Wen Xin tire herself further. As the matter at hand was primarily the Su family’s concern, he decided it was best for them to resolve it, having done all he could.

“Understood.”

Chu Yunxuan guessed Wen Xin was annoyed by Chu Mufeng’s constant attention but forgot that Wen Xin hadn’t rested properly for two days and a night. Watching Wen Xin lean on Mu Chengxi’s shoulder, she seemed much more at ease.

Only Mu Chengxi could elicit such trust and reliance from Wen Xin.

After Mu Chengxi and Wen Xin left, Chu Mufeng took the spot where Wen Xin had been sitting. He looked at the untouched coffee with a complex expression.

“Big star, you’ve been in the entertainment industry for so many years with hardly any scandals. How do you manage to keep such a pure heart?”

Chu Yunxuan admired Chu Mufeng for his looks, acting, and character. It was rare to find a star like him in the entertainment industry, and to think he was also related to Tan Xingyue.

“Maybe it’s because I have someone I yearn for,” Chu Mufeng mused, lacking his usual vibrancy and instead showing a weary demeanor… Liang Luoyu, observing from the side, raised an eyebrow. No wonder Master Xi was eager to leave the hotel; someone was indeed eyeing the boss.

This man did not know how high the sky was. He even called himself a celebrity. If he angered Master Xi, he might not even be able to survive among men, let alone in the entertainment industry.

Liang Luoyu, maneuvering his electric wheelchair, passed the hot milk tea he was holding to Tan Xingyue and Chu Yunxuan.

“It’s cold. Have some hot milk tea.”

Chu Yunxuan thanked Liang Luoyu and sipped the milk tea, which warmed her instantly.

“Liang Luoyu, Chen Yian called earlier to say the Su family agreed to allow the joint burial of my grandparents. Did Mu Chengxi do that? What did he do?”

Chu Yunxuan had heard that villagers besieged Chen Yian and later heard that the Su family had agreed. They knew it wasn’t simple, but they hadn’t expected Mu Chengxi to take action.

“Master Xi turned Clear Spring Town, slated for demolition, into a protected ecological town. This move ensured the preservation of the Su family’s ancestral home, a condition surely acceptable to the Su family for agreeing to the joint burial.”

Liang Luoyu explained the situation to Chu Yunxuan in a casual tone, also intending to let the ‘showy peacock’ overhear the capabilities of his Master Xi to extinguish any ill-intentioned thoughts he had towards Wen Xin.

Chu Yunxuan raised an eyebrow and chuckled lightly, not used to Liang Luoyu being so straightforward.

“Indeed, being the Crown Prince of the capital has its privileges. Wen Xin was worried sick about this issue. After hearing from Chen Yian that everything was taken care of, she finally relaxed.”

Hearing Chu Yunxuan’s comments and learning of Mu Chengxi’s identity, Chu Mufeng couldn’t maintain his composure any longer amidst the praises for Mu Chengxi. He abruptly stood up and walked to the funeral home’s hall without looking back.

Watching Chu Mufeng’s departing figure, Tan Xingyue turned to Liang Luoyu, puzzled. “Why does my brother seem upset? He was in a good mood just a moment ago!”

“Silly girl!” Chu Yunxuan affectionately ruffled Tan Xingyue’s hair with a doting smile.

After Mu Chengxi brought Wen Xin back to the hotel, the first thing she did was rush into the bathroom for a comforting bath, needing to rid herself of the smell of smoke from burning the offerings that had made her head ache.

Once she had bathed, Mu Chengxi had some food delivered by the hotel. Wen Xin, sitting across from him, ate gracefully but appeared tired.

“Why didn’t you eat lunch? And why didn’t you call me?” Mu Chengxi tenderly inquired while serving her food.

“I did eat. It was Chu Yunxuan and the others who found the food unpalatable and hardly ate. I’m not picky; I’m fine as long as I’m fed.”

Mu Chengxi watched as Wen Xin picked out the food she didn’t like, his eyebrows arching in confusion over her claim of not being picky.

“Right, you’re the best, easiest to… take care of.”

Watching Wen Xin, whom he hadn’t managed to “fatten up” over a year, Mu

Chengxi found his words of her being easy to take care of somewhat insincere. Before taking care of her personally, he had always wondered how she had managed to grow up, considering she was so hard to “nourish.”

After finishing her steak, Wen Xin put down her cutlery and stretched lazily, her bathrobe falling open with her movements, revealing herself without reservation.

Noticing the change in Mu Chengxi’s gaze, Wen Xin stood up, leaned over, and teasingly lifted his chin with her finger.

“I think…”

Before she could finish, Mu Chengxi swiftly picked her up, and they tumbled onto the soft bed together.

Wen Xin, lying on the bed, didn’t want to deal with the man pressing against her back. He was too much, showing no restraint…

“I’ll take you to bathe…” Mu Chengxi lifted the limp Wen Xin from the bed and carried her into the bathroom.

When Wen Xin woke up, it was already past four in the morning. She was awakened by a text from Chu Yunxuan, informing her they would send her grandmother off at around six o’clock..
