Chapter 762 - 771: Feeling a Connection, I Want to Take Her Back to Beijing
Mo Xuan accompanied Wen Xin through the nearest route to the medical office where, in a hospital room, Muxi lay on the bed, with Xiao Mi feeding him.
Upon hearing the noise, both Muxi and Xiao Mi looked toward the direction of Wen Xin and the others.
The moment he saw Wen Xin, Muxi’s body stiffened, his brain completely unable to think, purely wanting to sit up.
He barely moved when he disturbed his wound, causing him to inhale a breath of cold air involuntarily.
“Don’t move around; your fracture hasn’t healed yet, plus a gunshot wound, you need a good rest for a while…”
Watching Muxi’s movement, Wen Xin smiled faintly, her tone gentle, revealing no emotion.
Muxi covered his chest, somewhat helplessly lying on the bed. He had never hated his own uselessness so much; appearing this way in front of Wen Xin was truly embarrassing.
“Are you full? If you are, I have something I want to talk to you about.”
Wen Xin glanced indifferently at Xiao Mi standing beside Muxi, holding half a bowl of rice, thinking if he hadn’t eaten enough, he should hurry up and eat.
“I’ve eaten enough. Miss Wen, you can just say whatever you need to,” Muxi said, standing unsure of how to face Wen Xin emotionally and attitudinally.
Previously, he had looked down on Wen Xin and had done some excessive things and said many disrespectful words.
But the truth proved that it was his own fault, especially after knowing that Wen Xin had dealt with fifteen mercenaries by herself, he was even more unsure how to face her.
When facing the mercenaries, he had almost lost his life, while Wen Xin handled them effortlessly.
He felt he was utterly ridiculous.
Seeing Muxi’s actions, Wen Xin wasn’t in the mood to guess Muxi’s inner thoughts. She waved her hand at Mu Bei and Mo Xuan, “You two, go out first…”
Upon receiving Wen Xin’s order, Mo Xuan and Mu Bei quickly left Muxi’s hospital room, while Xiao Mi, standing by, was a bit lost and looked at Wen Xin confusingly, not knowing what to do.
“You go out and wait a bit too…” Wen Xin spoke softly to Xiao Mi. She generally wouldn’t take the initiative to be kind, but upon seeing Xiao Mi, her mood unconsciously lightened, her delicate appearance inevitably endearing.
Upon hearing Wen Xin’s words, Xiao Mi set the bowl of rice aside and left the hospital room quickly.
Now, only Wen Xin and Muxi were left in the hospital room. Wen Xin hooked a stool over with her foot and lazily sat down, crossing her legs, assuming a boss-like posture.
Muxi watched Wen Xin’s movements, his regret spreading through his body; he didn’t know why he had been so blind initially, thinking Wen Xin was merely a vase and looking down on her.
The more arrogant he had been before, the more miserable he was now; he had already been ridiculed by several people.
Wen Xin didn’t look at Muxi’s remorseful expression; she was pondering how to inquire about Xiao Mi.
She cleared her throat, hesitated for a moment, “I heard Xiao Mi was brought back by you and placed in the Southern Territory?”
Not knowing why Wen Xin was asking about Xiao Mi, Muxi’s originally remorseful eyes suddenly became wary.
“Miss Wen, why did you suddenly ask about Xiao Mi… Xiao Mi is a Battlefield Doctor I brought back from a war-torn area. She was injured, and I rescued her by chance, then…then I brought her to the Southern Territory,” Muxi explained.
Although Muxi was hesitant to discuss Xiao Mi, he did not hide anything and truthfully told Wen Xin about Xiao Mi’s background.
Upon hearing the words “war-torn area” and “Battlefield Doctor,” Wen Xin narrowed her eyes slightly and hesitated for a moment before slowly starting to speak.
“Did you investigate her identity?”
“Yes, I did. She grew up in an orphanage, has no family, and has been in the Southern Territory for two years. She hasn’t caused any trouble, nor has she ever contacted anyone. I am sure her identity and background are clean.”
Muxi was always cautious in his actions. He had conducted a very thorough investigation of Xiao Mi before bringing her to the Southern Territory, and after observing her for six months, he was certain of her safety.
Wen Xin looked at Muxi’s confident expression and smiled gently. She felt that Muxi’s trust in Xiao Mi was somewhat blind, but she genuinely hoped that Xiao Mi was as innocent as Muxi described.
“I want to take Xiao Mi back to Beijing. While performing surgery on you, I noticed her hands were very steady, very suited to being a doctor. I don’t want this place to hold her back.”
Wen Xin was not one to beat around the bush, directly sharing her thoughts with Muxi, who had not expected Wen Xin to have such an idea.
“This… this decision is not mine to make. You can ask Xiao Mi what she thinks. I promised her that I wouldn’t decide where she stays.”
Muxi had reasons for sending Xiao Mi to the Southern Territory initially. Xiao Mi’s personality was carefree; she disliked constraints.
If she were brought back to the estate, she would have to stay there for life.
But the Southern Territory was different; it was merely a place for trade, with not many secrets. So, there were no matters that needed silencing, and she could leave anytime.
“Then I’ll ask her myself. If she agrees, I’ll take her away…”
Wen Xin, gazing at Muxi lying on the hospital bed, slightly raised her eyebrows. She wanted to tell Muxi she was serious and not joking with him.
Seeing Wen Xin’s expression, Muxi hesitated for a moment before nodding his head. He knew in his heart that being taken to Beijing by Wen Xin would be far better than staying here.
“Yes, if she’s willing to leave with Miss Wen, then I ask Miss Wen to take good care of her,” Muxi said.
For the first time, Muxi spoke to Wen Xin with full respect, without any personal grievances intermixed in his address.
After discussing with Muxi, Wen Xin ceased her assertive demeanor, stood up, walked to the door, opened it, glanced at the few people in the hallway, and spoke in a gentle tone: “Come in.”
Xiao Mi walked in front of the other two people. Wen Xin looked at Xiao Mi who was walking in, turned her head towards her, and smiled softly.
“I want to take you back to Beijing. Would you like to come?”
“Go…back to Beijing? Why?” Xiao Mi had not expected Wen Xin to smile at her, and Wen Xin’s smile gave her a tingling sensation.
Wen Xin was already quite beautiful, but her smile was devastatingly charming, leaving Xiao Mi entirely without the ability to think.
“Yes, back to Beijing. Think about whether you want to come back with me. I can recommend you to the Medical School at Jingda University. Would you like to become a doctor?”
