Chapter 41: Returning to the Sanatorium to See Tan Xingyue
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After Wen Xin and Yuan Junye finished their breakfast, they took Yuan Xingye’s car to the airport and bought a plane ticket back to Luocheng. She wanted to visit Tan Xingyue. She had already found the ancient jade, and the plan to treat Tan Xingyue could now be scheduled!
Sitting in the business class, Wen Xin asked for a blanket from the flight attendant and covered himself with it, preparing to have a good sleep.
She hoped that her mental state could recover a little so Tan Xingyue would not notice anything wrong.
Two hours later, Wen Xin alighted from the plane. She looked like a person who was not to be trifled with, and there was no trace of restraint in her expression.
She hadn’t slept at all during the two hours on the plane. Her mind was filled with messy things from the past, making her feel extremely frustrated. She felt like she was about to explode.
Exiting the airport, Wen Xin got into a taxi and told the driver the address of the sanatorium. She closed her eyes and leaned against the back seat of the car, trying hard to calm her negative emotions.
A sanatorium outside Luocheng
This was a private sanatorium. No one knew who the owner was, but everyone in the country knew that this was a sanatorium in the deep mountains that was
especially suitable for recuperation.
Many rich people wanted to stay here. Some big shots in the capital also wanted to come here to recuperate, but there were not enough places. The waiting list was up to three years.
It was worth noting that the daily expense at this sanatorium equaled the monthly cost of staying in a seven-star hotel.
Wen Xin alighted from the taxi, casually carrying her backpack. Looking at the place she had not returned to in three months, her mood instantly improved.
“Little Wen Xin is back? Did she come to see Xingyue again? How is your grandmother?”
Just as Wen Xin was walking into the nursing home, a loud voice that sounded like a bell rang out from not too far away. Wen Xin looked in the direction of the voice and saw a few elderly people sunbathing and playing chess in the small garden of the fitness center.
“Grandpa Ou, why aren’t you home yet? Last time, I heard that your recuperation period had expired, but you were still here. Those people in the queue were all waiting anxiously!”
Wen Xin walked to them with a smile. These elders had taken good care of Tan Xingyue in the sanatorium, treating both herself and Tan Xingyue as their juniors.
She heard from Tan Xingyue that when she and her grandmother were not around, the elders would always bring her delicious food in different ways.
Therefore, Wen Xin did not allow the sanatorium to tell them to leave but to let them stay on.
“You little girl! “The sanatorium didn’t even ask us to go back, but you are speaking on their behalf. I’m going back in a few days. If you and your grandmother don’t come back, I’m worried about Xingyue. I’m afraid that someone will bully her if I leave!”
Ou Zhengfeng said righteously. They, the old people, really loved Tan Xingyue. They felt a little distressed that a young girl could only rely on mobility aids to walk, so they instinctively wanted to be nice to that little girl!
Moreover, their health was indeed getting better and better here. They really couldn’t bear to leave!
Wen Xin looked at the rosy faces of the elderly people in the yard, raised her brows slightly, and chuckled: “Then, grandpas, let’s chat and play chess here first. I’ll go see Xingyue first!”
“Hurry up and go. That little girl is waiting for you at the door every day. She must be pleased that you’re back!” Old Mr Ou waved his hand at Wen Xin, not wanting to delay her from visiting Tan Xingyue.
The weather in Luocheng was not much different from that in Ice City. Recently, there had been a lot of snow, and the entire sanatorium was covered with snow.
Rows of independent huts were neatly arranged, and the cobblestone path made the entire sanatorium seem secluded and comfortable.
The entire sanatorium’s environment was comfortable and relaxing. While modern technology was introduced, it also retained the paradise-like feel of a forest.
As Wen Xin walked along the path, she occasionally met a few people passing by, carrying plates. Wen Xin glanced at the watch on her wrist and confirmed that it was afternoon tea time.
“Miss Wen, you’re here to see Xingyue? Xingyue would be very happy if she knew! “A staff member who was passing by saw Wen Xin and said with a smile.
Wen Xin took off her hat and nodded at the staff.” What is Xingyue doing now? Did she exercise today?”
Tan Xingyue had health problems since she was five years old. After Tan Xingyue became incapacitated, Wen Xin began looking for someone to learn medical skills from. She has not given up for so many years, and Tan Xingyue has not given up on herself either.
“Xingyue just came back from training. I’m just about to bring her afternoon tea!” The staff member showed Wen Xin the tray in his hand.
Wen Xin carried the backpack on her shoulder and took the tray from the staff. She said politely,” Leave the tray to me. I’ll go and see her.””
“Then I’ll have to trouble Miss Wen to bring it to Xingyue. I’m also going to prepare a medicinal bath for her. She said that her legs have been feeling a little recently!”
The staff took full care of Tan Xingyue. Wen Xin helped her bring afternoon tea over, and she went to do something else.
“Sorry to trouble you!” After Wen Xin finished speaking, she carried the tray and walked along the path towards Tan Xingyue’s house.
When Wen Xin pushed the door open and entered, he saw Tan Xingyue propping herself up and holding a towel from the clothes rack. Although the clothes rack was not very high, it was still a little difficult for Tan Xingyue.
Wen Xin placed the tray on the dining table. Just as she was about to help, she saw Tan Xingyue trying her best to stand up, using one arm to support herself.
At this moment, the wheelchair under her arm lost its balance and she fell right in front of Wen Xin.
Wen Xin quickly rushed to her side and hugged her with both hands to stabilize her so that she would not fall.
That left Tan Xingyue shaken. She leaned into Wen Xin’s embrace and said weakly, “I’m sorry, I just wanted to wipe my sweat with a towel. I just finished training and my body is a little sticky!”
“Can’t you wait for the nurse to come over before you wash up?” Wen Xin carried Tan Xingyue and placed her in the wheelchair as she spoke in a gentle voice.
Hearing the familiar figure, Tan Xingyue seemed to stiffen for a moment. She turned around in a hurry and widened her eyes in surprise.
“Wen Xin, you came back to see me! I even called Grandma in the morning. Grandma said that you were busy recently and couldn’t come back to see me. I didn’t expect you to come back in the afternoon.”
Tan Xingyue’s eyes sparkled. She had not seen Wen Xin for more than three months. Although they kept in touch every day, she still missed her very much.
Wen Xin raised her hand and gently pinched Tan Xingyue’s rosy cheeks. She looked at Tan Xingyue’s hair, which was already wet from the training, and smiled gently..

Chapter 42: The Best Things to Do at Your Age
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“I’ve been really busy recently. I’m just busy looking for a treasure. Xingyue, I have a way to make you stand up. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely do what I promised.”
Wen Xin’s movements were gentle as she brushed away the stray strands of hair on Tan Xingyue’s forehead. The corners of her lips curled into a happy smile. This time, Wen Xin was truly happy. She had waited for so long, and this day had finally arrived.
After hearing Wen Xin’s words, Tan Xingyue stared at her in a daze. She knew that Wen Xin was serious, but she had been in a wheelchair since she was young. For a moment, she did not know how to digest Wen Xin’s words. She was looking forward to it, but also a little afraid. She was afraid that if she failed, Wen Xin would not be able to accept the outcome!
“Your silly look makes me want to bully you!”
Wen Xin flicked Tan Xingyue’s forehead as she spoke. She took the towel from the side and pushed the wheelchair into the bathroom.
After cleaning her up, Wen Xin sat on the carpet with one leg bent. She looked at the snacks that Tan Xingyue had prepared for her, and the faint smile on her face remained.
“Wen Xin, when you weren’t here, I asked the nurse to buy some fruits that you like and make them into preserved fruits for you. You like to eat sweet things, so see if these suit your taste!”
Tan Xingyue pushed the dried strawberries and prunes to Wen Xin as if she were presenting a treasure.” You like strawberries, so I ordered a lot of strawberries online. I wanted to make canned strawberries for you, but now that you’re here, fresh ones taste the best!”
Tan Xingyue’s beautiful eyes curved into crescents as she watched Wen Xin munch on the snacks she had prepared. She looked extremely adorable.
Wen Xin looked at Tan Xingyue’s smiling face and her cold eyes flashed for a moment. It was like the first time they met. At that time, Tan Xingyue was also smiling and very happy.
“Xingyue, have you ever thought about what you will do when you can walk normally? Or rather, do you have anything you want to do?”
Wen Xin’s slender and pale arms were propped up on the table. Her slender fingers were lazily supporting her delicate chin as she looked at Tan Xingyue smiling happily.
“I… Can I go out? Can I live like a normal person?”
Tan Xingyue believed that Wen Xin could cure her, but she was not sure if she could live a normal life. In the past, she was afraid of the eyes of the world and did not want to interact with the outside world. She was not sure if she could do it.
“Of course you can. As long as you want to, you can!” Wen Xin promised in a gentle voice. She believed that she could protect Tan Xingyue for the rest of her life.
“I want to go to school. I want to take the college entrance examination. I want to do what I should do at my age!”
Tan Xingyue looked at Wen Xin with fervent eyes. Since young, she had been envious of those who could go to school. She felt that going to school was the best thing.
“I want to go to school with you. Grandma said you are very smart. You have learned things very quickly since you were a child. You will teach me what you learned in school. But then you concentrated on studying medicine because of me, and you missed a lot of happiness. I want us to go to school together!”
Tan Xingyue hoped that Wen Xin could find the happiness that belonged to her age. She did not want to drag Wen Xin down with her.
When Wen Xin heard that, her bright black eyes darkened slightly. What a joke. She had so many things to do, yet she still had to find time to go to school.
If those people knew about this, they would probably laugh their heads off, right?
Tan Xingyue held Wen Xin’s cold and fair hand on the table when she saw her frowning slightly. She coaxed in a tender voice,” Grandma said we should do what we do at our age. At our age, school is the most important thing. Let’s go to school!”
Wen Xin frowned when she saw Tan Xingyue’s expectant gaze. She let out a long sigh and said,” Alright, I’ll do as you say. I’ll go to school with you when you get better!”
After saying that, Wen Xin let out a long sigh. She felt like a person who had been trapped in a cage, and this restricted her freedom.
After Mu Chengxi left the old mansion, he settled some matters in his apartment. At around seven o’clock, Liang Luoyu and Gu Yanzhe came in from outside.
“Master Xi, there’s news about Wen Xin. The surveillance footage has been restored. Wen Xin left in a white SUV. You know the owner of this car too. It’s the illegitimate son of the Yuan Family, Yuan Junye, who came back a year ago. ”
Liang Luoyu reported the results of the investigation to Mu Chengxi. He saw Mu Chengxi’s impatience. He knew that Mu Chengxi had ulterior motives toward Wen Xin, but he could not believe that Wen Xin could still affect Mu Chengxi’s mood.
Mu Chengxi put down his work and looked up at the two people opposite him. He seemed to be dissatisfied with Liang Luoyu’s investigation results.
Gu Yanzhe saw the dissatisfaction in Mu Chengxi’s eyes and said truthfully, “Although Yuan Junye has returned to the Yuan Family, he is not under the control of the Yuan Family at all. Therefore, we did not make a move against him. The backing he has isn’t ordinary if he can establish himself in a family as influential as the Yuan Family!”
“Do I need to be afraid?” Mu Chengxi raised his eyebrows at Gu Yanzhe. He did not know when Gu Yanzhe had started to have scruples.
“Master Xi, we don’t need to be afraid of him, but think about this: if Wen Xin left in his car, there must be some sort of relationship between them. If we were to make a move and harm him, I’m afraid Miss Wen Xin would be unhappy!”
Gu Yanzhe brought up Wen Xin at the right time. He was certain that this was the only way to calm Mu Chengxi down.
Hearing that Wen Xin and Yuan Junye possibly had a relationship, he was extremely frustrated.
He wasn’t sure what their relationship was, but he was very unhappy that he was willing to leave with someone else under those circumstances.
With a crisp click, Gu Yanzhe and Liang Luoyu looked at the pen in Mu
Chengxi’s hand at the same time. They realized that something was not right.
“Master Xi, I’ve found out that Miss Wen bought a plane ticket to Luocheng, but she didn’t return to Ancient Market Town. Instead, she went to a sanatorium. According to the investigation from Miss Wen’s grandmother, Miss Wen’s grandmother has a little girl who was disabled in an accident when she was five years old. She’s now in a sanatorium outside Luocheng!”
Just as Liang Luoyu and Gu Yanzhe thought that they were in grave danger, Mu Dong came in from outside with some surprising news.
The two of them looked at Mu Dong gratefully, thanking him for saving their lives.
Mu Dong saw their gazes and only blinked. As soon as he entered, he felt the atmosphere and did not dare say anything else..
