“Later, your grandfather brought Wei Shisheng back home. When Wei Shisheng was brought back, we didn’t know her identity, but somehow the Zhao family did.”

“They became even more convinced that our Wei family was colluding with the Independent State, and that your uncle harmed Zhao Hongzhong for the research he possessed. So, in a fit of anger, your grandfather decided your aunt and Zhao Honghan should separate.”

“Back then, your aunt was stubborn and wouldn’t compromise at all. Your grandfather felt he couldn’t control his own daughter and, in a fit of anger, drove your aunt out of the Wei family.”

“At the time, whether the Zhao family would accept your aunt was up to Zhao Honghan, who left his family empty-handed to preserve his marriage with your aunt. This is also why the Zhao family has looked down on your aunt all these years.”

Wei Manqing finished recounting the past with a helpless sigh, her gaze drifting towards Wen Xin, who was sitting in the living room.

“I would never have guessed that Wen Xin and the young master Wen are siblings. Did you know about her identity?”

“I knew. Since we’ve been together, she’s never hidden it from me. The collaboration I wanted with the laboratory was facilitated by her,” Mu Chengxi half-spoke, leaving unsaid that Wen Xin was actually the real power behind the laboratory.

“Ah, that girl has had a tough life. I’ve met her parents, and they were truly exceptional. Your uncle endured so much injustice but never thought of leaving the laboratory. However, after her parents died, your uncle couldn’t bear it anymore and left the lab to accept your grandfather’s arrangements.”

Thinking of this, Wei Manqing suddenly looked at Mu Chengxi with seriousness, “Chengxi, if you can, advise her not to expose too much of her identity. Her parents died under mysterious circumstances, and if her identity is exposed, it could be dangerous!”

“Understood. She doesn’t plan to reveal her identity publicly, but some things are inevitable.”

Mu Chengxi extinguished the cigarette in his hand and looked up at the moon with a cool gaze, his handsome lips curling slightly. With him around, he would naturally protect her thoroughly.

Late at night, after taking a bath, Wen Xin sat at her computer desk, organizing some files to send to Yan Qing, expanding the Truth Listener’s database about Independent State.

Just then, her phone rang. It was a call from Ma Wenyuan, who hadn’t bothered her for a long time.

She casually slid her finger over the screen to answer the call, then pressed the speaker button, “What’s up, Uncle Ma?”

“You’ve been through such a big ordeal, why didn’t you tell me? How are your injuries? Did you suffer any complications?”

Ma Wenyuan’s tone was full of urgency. He had just left the laboratory when he received a call from Director Tang. Hearing about Wen Xin’s injuries, he was deeply shocked and frightened.

“I’m fine now.” Wen Xin listened to Ma Wenyuan’s fussing and couldn’t help but frown. She hadn’t wanted anyone to know, and now it seemed like everyone did.

“Uncle Ma, keep this matter confidential. There’s no need to let too many people know.” Wen Xin raised her hand to rub her slightly aching temples. This minor incident really wasn’t worth much fuss.

“Rest assured, Director Tang isn’t the type to gossip. No one else will know about this!”

Ma Wenyuan, relieved to hear Wen Xin was alright, patted his chest and then cautiously asked, “Miss, are you interested in taking a tour of the laboratory? Here…”

“No, I need to consolidate my knowledge first. I’ll participate in the laboratory assessment in the second half of my freshman year.”

Wen Xin had initially wanted Ma Wenyuan to discuss something with Wen Huai, but considering Wen Huai was already handling matters in Independent State on her behalf, she reluctantly dealt with the laboratory issues herself.

“Uncle Ma, step down from your position as principal of Ice City No.1 Middle School. You’re not at school and it’s holding up a lot of things. Give someone else a chance this time, and just focus on managing the laboratory.”

Wen Xin tapped her fingers on the desk, pondering how to ensure Ma Wenyuan focused solely on the laboratory matters.

“Wen Xin, your scheming is practically hitting me in the face! Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to. I’ll have you know, the laboratory has been under your name since you turned eighteen. Whether you decide to hand it over to Wen Huai in the future is your own business!”

“I can manage it for a few more years, but I’m getting older, and I certainly can’t be expected to manage it on oxygen in the future, can I?” As Ma Wenyuan spoke, he imagined his future scenario, genuinely believing Wen Xin could push him to such an extent.

Wen Xin couldn’t help but laugh at Ma Wenyuan’s words, pulling her hand back from the phone and chuckling softly, “Alright, I understand. With me here, I can ensure your health. It’s getting late; you should go and rest.”

“Okay, take good care of yourself. If you’re injured, don’t run around everywhere!” Ma Wenyuan added a few more words of caution at the end, as he had always cared deeply for Wen Xin and feared hearing about her being hurt.

“Got it. Ah, so sleepy, going to sleep now!” Wen Xin said and promptly hung up the phone.

Ma Wenyuan stared at his phone, which had been disconnected, and felt somewhat helpless about Wen Xin’s evasive tone. He really had no way to deal with her.

Mu Chengxi embraced Wen Xin from behind, lifting her from the chair to the bed and pressing his body against hers, his lips finding her smooth, pale neck and collarbone.

“Baby, I’m hungry for you…”

Wen Xin looked at Mu Chengxi, who was lying on top of her with a playful expression, and gently smiled. Her slender arms reached around his neck, tacitly allowing his advances.

Four in the morning.

Having cleaned up, Wen Xin lay in bed with her eyes tightly closed, letting out a long, weary sigh.

The only thought in her mind was how tired she was. She couldn’t keep indulging him like this.

Mu Chengxi brought Wen Xin a cup of warm water from outside, wrapped his arms around her neck, and let her lean into his chest as he fed her half a cup.

After drinking the water, Wen Xin lay on the bed, petulantly refusing to speak to Mu Chengxi. Every time they were intimate, he seemed uncontrollable, which was truly exhausting.

Seeing Wen Xin’s adorably sulky demeanor, Mu Chengxi set down the water glass, climbed onto the bed, and wrapped his arms around her, pulling her into his embrace. Satisfied, he held her as they both drifted off to sleep.

In the early morning, Jiang Linyan opened her eyes to find a handsome face beside her. Her initially foggy mind instantly cleared.
