“I understand, Master Xi. I will relay the message,” Mu Dong replied, recognizing that Mu Chengxi was giving Mu Xi another chance.

“How are things in Continent F? I heard there were two explosions recently. Are you alright? Were you involved in those incidents?” Mu Dong asked, his mind immediately recalling the explosions when he learned Mu Chengxi was in Continent F. He had witnessed the power of the explosions first-hand, seeing the massive mushroom clouds over the port.

“I’ll discuss my situation when I return. Focus on handling the affairs in Continent F. Keep an eye on the lab and wait for further instructions,” Mu Chengxi said, supporting himself with one arm. He glanced at Wen Xin, who was eating, intending to ask her opinion.

Wen Xin looked at Mu Chengxi and noticed his movement. “You’ll tear your wound. Lie down and rest,” she said coldly.

Her words made Mu Chengxi obediently lie back down. On the other end of the call, Mu Dong’s voice became frantic, “Master Xi, are you injured? How serious is it?”

“Of course it’s serious. He nearly didn’t make it. Focus on handling things in Continent F. Your Master Xi doesn’t have time to worry about other matters,” Wen Xin replied, her tone icy. There were no outsiders in the room, so she spoke openly.

Mu Dong’s concern turned to panic. “Master Xi, we’ll arrange to come to the Independent State immediately…”

“The Independent State isn’t a place you can enter at will. Take care of your tasks and don’t add to Master Xi’s worries,” Wen Xin finished her meal and stood up, taking the phone from Mu Chengxi.

“I’ll handle the lab and fix the signal issues on the island. How many people are left there?” she asked.

“Mu Bei is on the island with about twenty people. I returned to Continent F alone,” Mu Dong explained.

“With Mu Bei there, it’s easier. I’ll manage the island. Focus on your work in Continent F. We’ll meet in Beijing,” Wen Xin said before hanging up and placing the phone beside Mu Chengxi. She adjusted his position to make him more comfortable.

Seeing that Wen Xin had finished eating, her aunt asked a maid to tidy up the room.

“Mr. Mu, please rest well. I’ll bring dinner later,” her aunt said gently, exuding warmth and care.

Aunt was a gentle person. Compared to Wen Zhimo, she looked more easy-going and gave people a very friendly feeling.

The way she looked at Wen Xin made everyone around her feel that she truly loved and doted on Wen Xin, just like a mother looking at her beloved child.

“You don’t have to come personally, Aunt. A maid can bring the food, or I can order from the hospital if it’s too much trouble,” Wen Xin replied.

She knew the Tang family home was quite far, and the situation in the Independent State was complicated.

“It’s no trouble. If Mr. Mu could move, your grandfather would have him rest at our home. Bringing food is the least I can do,” her aunt insisted.

“Make sure to have someone accompany you for protection, Aunt. The Independent State is unstable now. Stay safe,” Wen Xin advised, smiling gently.

“That’s what I wanted to remind you. The Taros family found the ancient jade and held ceremonies yesterday. The other families are becoming restless,” her aunt warned. “And your grandfather’s family is also causing trouble. They will inevitably find you. Be cautious.”

Wen Xin laughed lightly. “That old fox’s family wouldn’t dare trouble me. They should be grateful I haven’t dealt with them yet. Without me, they wouldn’t have their current status and privileges.”

Her eyes narrowed slightly as she spoke. She had yet to settle the score with that old fox. If the old fox approached her, it would make things easier.

Mu Chengxi gently squeezed Wen Xin’s hand, reminding her not to be too angry. She turned to him, smiling slightly. “I’ll see Aunt out. Rest a bit. I’ll be back soon.”

After escorting her aunt out, Wen Xin linked arms with Chu Yunxuan, whispering instructions. Chu Yunxuan nodded and left the hospital.

Returning to the room alone, Wen Xin saw Wales guarding the door, looking alert and tense. He had grown more respectful of the Doll after witnessing Wen Xin’s formidable skills.

Wales was surprised to see Wen Xin alone. “Boss, where’s Chu Yunxuan?”

“She went to find Yan Qing. You can rest now and come back in the evening. Moore’s people are here, so it’s safe,” Wen Xin replied, entering the room.

Mu Chengxi turned his deep eyes towards Wen Xin and smiled gently. Wen Xin closed the door, sat by his bed, and leaned down to kiss his chapped lips lightly.

“Did you know I almost couldn’t save you? Luckily, I brought the ancient jade for Xingyue before coming to the Independent State. Otherwise, you might still be unconscious,” Wen Xin said softly, leaning on Mu Chengxi’s shoulder. It was the first time she expressed her fear, genuinely afraid of losing him.

Mu Chengxi wrapped his uninjured arm around her, rubbing his cheek against hers. “I thought I wouldn’t see you again. The only thing that kept me going was knowing my little ancestor was waiting for me at home.”

Wen Xin smiled at his words. She had seen how surprised he was to see her in the Independent State. He hadn’t expected her to come looking for him, so she was unsure where his confidence came from that he could return on his own.
