Chapter 12

What’s the Purpose of Getting Close

However, before her hand could touch Mu Chengxi, he pulled Liang Luoyu, who was watching the commotion, over and stood in front of the girl. His gaze was cold as he glanced at the timid Mu Bei.

“After we return to the capital, you can switch Mu Dong over!”

With that frigid tone, Mu Bei felt the atmosphere around him drop even colder than the temperature after the snowfall outside. He replied softly, refraining from uttering a single extra word.

Walking past the girl, Mu Chengxi turned his head slightly and pretended to glance at Wen Xin, who was ignoring the scene and eating seriously. He then strode towards the private room on his long legs.

The group of people behind could clearly feel that Mu Chengxi was unhappy. They did not dare to speak and quietly followed behind him.

After Mu Chengxi left, the sensitive Chu Yunxuan gently shifted her chair to close the distance between her and Wen Xin. She used her finger, which had just been manicured, to gently tap Wen Xin’s arm.

“Wen Xin, did you notice that the man in the black coat was looking at you…”

After finishing the last mouthful of lobster meat in her bowl, Wen Xin slowly raised her head and looked at Chu Yunxuan who was sitting beside her with a face full of gossip and in no mood to eat. She smiled lightly.

“Do you know who he is? It’s better to hide from that kind of person, especially you. He has been investigating the whereabouts of the ancient jade recently…”

On the mention of ancient jade, Wen Xin’s black eyes flashed with a glimmer. She suddenly understood why Mu Chengxi was outside the Zhao family’s door.

The person that Old Madam Zhao was talking about was Mu Chengxi.

This damned fate was something people should avoid.

“Ancient jade?”

Hearing Wen Xin suddenly mention the ancient jade, Chu Yunxuan was slightly stunned. The person who was looking for the ancient jade…

Suddenly, Chu Yunxuan’s eyes widened as she looked at Wen Xin and asked with uncertainty, “He’s the Seventh Young Master of the Mu family in Beijing? The youngest son of the Mu family? The crown prince of the capital?”

“That’s right. It seems that Miss Chu is still very smart!”Wen Xin did not deny it, her voice carrying a hint of ridicule.

Her emotions were not affected by Mu Chengxi at all. Her attitude was still as wild and evil as ever. She had no intention of restraining herself.

After hearing Wen Xin’s words, Chu Yunxuan lost her composure. She had only thought that the man was extraordinary, but she had never thought that he would be a legendary figure.

Gently pushing away Chu Yunxuan’s hand that was pinching her arm, Wen Xin picked up her chopsticks again and casually popped a piece of abalone into her mouth, slowly chewing and swallowing it.

“You’re someone with some status. I’ve told you many times to stay calm. If you look like this, people who don’t know you might think that you’ve never seen the world!”

This statement hit the nail on the head and made Chu Yunxuan raise her head to look at Wen Xin calmly eating at the side. She finally understood the true difference between herself and the big boss.

She could remain calm, but Chu Yunxuan couldn’t…

“Hello, Miss Wen. This is the blood swallow’s nest that the person in Room 1095 ordered for you. He also specially asked me to tell you that seafood is cold and not to eat too much!”

As the waiter spoke, he placed an exquisite cup in front of Wen Xin and gently conveyed the customer’s instructions.

Looking at the bowl in front of her, Wen Xin’s hand hesitated for a moment before she slowly retracted her chopsticks from the spicy crab.

“Help me thank that customer!”

Wen Xin did not need to guess to know who had sent this blood swallow over. She just did not understand his motive for doing so.

Could it be that Old Madam Zhao had already revealed her identity?
