Chapter 894: Chapter 892: The Inconsistent Master Xi, Fortunate to Have t You
Qian ng had been quite secretive about his recent activities, not convenient to disclose to Mr. Qian the elder, but his words served as a tranquilizer to Old Master Qian, allowing him to rest a little easier.
“We do not seek for the little princess to bring us boundless glory and wealth, we only hope that what we do is worthy of those who have already passed away!”
Old Master Qian’s tone suddenly beca sorrowful, and Qian ng knew that the old man’s thoughts had drifted to those matters again. He wanted to say sothing to comfort the elder, but he was at a loss for words.
After a little while, Old Master Qian collected himself from the sadness, set down his teacup, and stood up from the chair, straightening out his clothes.
“Alright, have a look in the treasure vault for sothing suitable to gift to the little princess, pick one out, and present it to her as a present tonight.”
Qian ng was surprised by what the old man had said. He looked at the elder and asked, understandingly, “Grandpa, does this an you’re not joining at the Mu family’s banquet tonight? Not going to celebrate the little princess’s birthday?”
“Yes, I won’t be going. There’s always been discord between the Qian and Mu families, and my sudden appearance at the Mu family’s banquet might lead to all sorts of speculations.”
“Moreover, I do not wish for my attendance to cause any trouble for the little princess. Relate a ssage to her for that once her matters are resolved, I will personally visit to offer my congratulations!”
Having said that, Old Master Qian turned and left the warehouse, his silhouette still appeared as vigorous as ever.
After Old Master Qian had departed, Qian ng turned and walked into the treasure vault amid those treasures, interacting closely with these objects for the first ti.
He took out his phone from his pocket and dialed Wen Xin’s video call; the call was answered after only two rings.
Qian ng looked at the connected video with so excitent, waving his hand vigorously at Wen Xin through the phone.
“Miss… Miss Wen, take a look at these items on the shelves, see if there’s anything you like. My grandfather wants to give you a gift, so pick sothing. One item or several, as long as you like it, my grandfather will surely be willing to give it to you!”
Qian ng’s sudden change in how he addressed Wen Xin made her smile gently, she suddenly felt like Qian ng was showing so intelligence, though not much, it was still progress.
Wen Xin, looking at the array of gifts on the shelves, did not entertain any notions of politeness.
“Pan the cara around; I want to see what treasures your family possesses. I’ve heard a long ti ago that Old Master Qian is a collector, that even Jiuquan City’s museum may not have as many treasures as in Old Master Qian’s warehouse. I never expected to have the opportunity to feast my eyes like this.”
While Wen Xin was speaking, Qian ng’s cara just happened to shift to an ancient painting, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
“Stop, that’s the one! I like this painting. Ask your grandfather if he could gift it to !”
Actually, Wen Xin did not understand antiques; she had felt an imdiate connection with the painting the mont she saw it, not knowing why she had chosen it.
Her decisions were always aligned with her feelings, so her choice now was sowhat impulsive.
“No problem, there’s no need to ask. My grandfather said you could pick anything in here. I’m going to have it packed up and prepared for you right away.”
Seeing that Wen Xin had picked out sothing she liked, Qian ng was very happy. He imdiately hung up the phone, went out to find the people who took care of the treasure trove every day, took down the painting, packed it in a box, and sent it to Wen Xin in the evening.
When Mu Chengxi ca in from outside, he saw Wen Xin staring at her phone and chuckling. He walked over and sat down next to Wen Xin.
“What are you laughing at here all by yourself? Ling Yichen said Barry is clamoring to co to the dinner party, and asked to check if it would be convenient for you to bring him. Also, my parents have arrived, and my sister asked to see if you need mom to co and keep you company.”
As Mu Chengxi spoke, his gaze fell on Wen Xin’s arm, which had already had the plaster removed. He originally did not agree with Wen Xin taking off the plaster, but since Wen Xin insisted, there was nothing he could do.
Wen Xin turned her head just in ti to see the worried look in Mu Chengxi’s eyes. She stretched out her hand to grasp Mu Chengxi’s hand and squeezed lightly.
“Don’t worry, I won’t treat my own hand as a joke. Sun Ning’s dical arts are excellent, and my hand has recovered well. I’ve checked it myself, my bones have healed, and as long as it is not subjected to a strong impact, there will be no problems.”
Mu Chengxi, feeling the strength in Wen Xin’s grip, had his worries eased quite a bit, but he still did not entirely relax, gently holding Wen Xin.
“Promise you won’t push yourself and tell right away if you’re uncomfortable. If you get tired or annoyed, you have to tell .”
Wen Xin was impatient with this ordeal, and Mu Chengxi knew it all too well. He didn’t want Wen Xin to be worn out by the end of the evening.
“Hmm, I understand. As for Barry, if he wants to co, let him co. Since he happens to be here, if you don’t let him, he won’t agree anyway.”
Wen Xin understood Barry’s character—she knew that if he set his mind to do sothing, there was nothing he couldn’t accomplish. Even if Ling Yichen didn’t bring him, he would find a way to co anyway. In short, his mind couldn’t be changed.
If that was the case, then let him have his happiness. Having Ling Yichen bring him along would probably not be too jarring.
Mu Chengxi bent down and gently kissed Wen Xin on the cheek, his eyes filled with adoration.
“Then I’ll tell Ling Yichen to bring him along. I still have so things to take care of, so I’ll be busy for a while. Just call if you need anything.”
Mu Chengxi knew that Wen Xin disliked the clamor outside, so he had Mu Bei specially isolate his wishes to spare Wen Xin any annoyance.
Listening to Mu Chengxi’s thoughtful instructions, Wen Xin smiled gently. She stood up, straightened Mu Chengxi’s clothes, and on tiptoe, she lightly placed a kiss on the corner of Mu Chengxi’s lips.
“You’re going to spoil this way.”
Looking down at Wen Xin with his eyes lowered, Mu Chengxi gazed into her bright, black eyes and smiled with deep affection and adoration. “You’re going to be my fiancée, and you’re still so polite. All I can do is to spoil you now. I will definitely do this right!”
Mu Chengxi’s gaze was soft as he looked at Wen Xin, his eyes full of burning adoration. She was the most precious person in his life, and he could only cherish and adore her.
Wen Xin looked at Mu Chengxi with half-closed eyes, then laughed lightly. “I guess no one would have expected that Master Xi, who doesn’t always have the best reputation, would have such a side. I feel very fortunate to have t soone as outstanding as you!”
