    “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.”<div>


    “Back then, your aunt was stubborn and wouldn’tpromise 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 ept 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 coboration I wanted with theboratory was facilitated by her,” Mu Chengxi half-spoke, leaving unsaid that Wen Xin was actually the real power behind theboratory.


    “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 theboratory. However, after her parents died, your uncle couldn’t bear it anymore and left theb to ept 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 n 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 herputer 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.<div>


    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 anyplications?”


    Ma Wenyuan’s tone was full of urgency. He had just left theboratory 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 theboratory? Here…”


    “No, I need to consolidate my knowledge first. I’ll participate in theboratory 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 theboratory 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 theboratory.”


    Wen Xin tapped her fingers on the desk, pondering how to ensure Ma Wenyuan focused solely on theboratory matters.<div>


    “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, theboratory 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 butugh 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 gettingte; 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 corbone.


    “Baby, I’m hungry for you…”


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


    Four in the morning.


    Having cleaned up, Wen Xiny in bed with her eyes tightly closed, letting out a long, weary sigh.<div>


    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 Xiny on the bed, petntly refusing to speak to Mu Chengxi. Every time they were intimate, he seemed uncontroble, which was truly exhausting.


    Seeing Wen Xin’s adorably sulky demeanor, Mu Chengxi set down the water ss, 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.
