A Big Shot's Woman Is Wild and Fierce-Chapter 681 - 680: Precisely Pinpointing the Weak Spot

Chapter 681: Chapter 680: Precisely Pinpointing the Weak Spot

Wen Xin kicked the pebbles beneath her feet with a distracted motion, her head hung low as she watched the stones, answering Mu Chengxi’s words without much thought, not sure herself how much time visiting Old Dong would take.

While Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi were chatting idly, Wen Xin’s phone vibrated with a call from Sun Ning.

“There’s something, I want Sun Ning to treat Old Dong, and now Sun Ning is calling me. I’m going to take his call first and will talk to you later.”

Wen Xin didn’t wait for Mu Chengxi’s response. She hung up on him immediately and dialed back Sun Ning’s number to return the call.

“Little princess, your Biological Laboratory is way too comfy, isn’t it? Coming to join you is definitely the right choice!”

Sun Ning excitedly started talking as soon as he picked up the phone.

He had been in the laboratory for many days and hadn’t found anything bad about it. This lab was much better than his small, homemade one, and the progress of his experiments had sped up a lot.

“I need a favor from you. I heard your medical arts are quite impressive. You will join me later at the hospital to see a patient.”

Wen Xin spoke very assertively, leaving no room for Sun Ning to refuse, which somewhat annoyed the originally excited Sun Ning; he had hoped to analyze the experimental data that evening.

“Is there any room for discussion, little princess? I have some data to analyze here. I might not have the time to treat patients. Maybe…”

“There’s no room for discussion. The patient is the director of the Research Institute. If you want to continue experimenting at the institute, come with me to check his condition.”

Wen Xin had not intended to reveal Old Dong’s identity to Sun Ning. She wasn’t familiar with Sun Ning’s character, but considering his fondness for the Biological Laboratory, Wen Xin thought this identity could persuade Sun Ning to visit the hospital with her in the evening.

Sun Ning, looking at the experimental data on the computer and considering the identity mentioned by Wen Xin, gritted his teeth and agreed.

“Fine, but I want to make it clear that I’m very busy. I don’t have much time to treat people, so I hope it’s just this one… um… within three months, I can only take on this one patient. I really can’t squeeze in more time.”

Sun Ning suddenly remembered that Wen Xin was his silent benefactor. His previously firm stance softened in an instant.

There was no help for it. When under someone’s roof, one has to bow down.

“Don’t worry about that. If he weren’t of special status, I wouldn’t need you. Pack up, someone will come to pick you up at seven!”

Wen Xin estimated the time. It would take about an hour to get from the research institute to People’s Hospital. She asked Ma Wenyuan to arrange for someone to pick Sun Ning up at seven. The timing would be just right.

After hanging up with Sun Ning, Wen Xin looked up and saw Ling Xu ‘Er pulling Tan Xingyue towards her from the direction of another teaching building, with Zhou Xiaoxiao tagging along.

Wen Xin had intended to call Ma Wenyuan, but recalling what he had done that morning, she suddenly didn’t want to hear his voice and sent him a message instead.

She instructed him to remember to pick up Sun Ning at seven and go straight to People’s Hospital, as she would take a taxi there herself.

“Wen Xin, are you okay? My cousin called me, saying he didn’t want to avoid explaining your relationship to you; it’s just that his agent took away his phone. He wanted to explain it to you in person this afternoon, but the company called him back.”

Tan Xingyue was practicing piano in the piano room when Wen Xin had her mishap. It wasn’t until later that she learned about what happened to Wen Xin. She tried calling Wen Xin, but Wen Xin did not answer her calls.

She wanted to go see Wen Xin and check on her, but her schedule was just too packed with classes to get away…

Wen Xin saw the concern on Tan Xingyue’s face as she watched her. Lifting an eyebrow, Wen Xin reached out and gently pinched Tan Xingyue’s chubby cheek with a tender smile.

“Of course, I’m fine. The issue has been resolved. It was just someone looking for trouble, and I’ve dealt with it. Tell Chu Mufeng that as long as he doesn’t come looking for me, I won’t have any problems. I don’t want to get involved with him; it’s troublesome.”

With that, Wen Xin draped her arm over Tan Xingyue’s shoulder, leaning on her in a relaxed manner, her gaze playfully fixed on Tan Xingyue.

“Has Liang Luoyu been bringing you snacks again lately? You seem to have gained weight!”

Tan Xingyue’s face flushed with embarrassment at the accurate guess, and she lowered her head and nodded, “I have put on weight lately. My roommates have been fed to plumpness with the treats from Liang Luoyu… I told him to stop sending them, but he… he won’t listen.”

Watching the bashful Tan Xingyue, Wen Xin unconsciously furrowed her brows. She deliberately slowed her steps, creating a small distance from the people ahead.

“Did Liang Luoyu confess his feelings to you?” Wen Xin felt the blush on Tan Xingyue’s face was a bit off, the kind of shy modesty that belonged only to a young girl, was inevitably thought-provoking.

“Mm… I guess it counts as a confession? That’s good. I have been so scared. He’s been with me the whole time, said he’s willing to take care of me, and even asked if I would be willing to be with him when I grow up.”

Tan Xingyue kept her head down, not daring to look at Wen Xin, but her youthful longing for love still inadvertently spilled out in her voice.

Wen Xin squinted at Tan Xingyue, hesitated for a few minutes, then spoke softly, “Liang Luoyu is not a bad guy. If he ever bullies you, I promise I’ll chop him up. Remember to tell me if something’s up, don’t let yourself be wronged.”

Wen Xin gently pinched Tan Xingyue’s cheek with her finger, already aware that Liang Luoyu had designs on Tan Xingyue, but she hadn’t expected him to take advantage of the opportunity.

But since Tan Xingyue’s first love was Liang Luoyu, Wen Xin felt reassured.

Liang Luoyu might be a bit foolish, but he had no other flaws.

To Tan Xingyue’s surprise, Wen Xin didn’t oppose her relationship with Liang Luoyu, which brought a sense of surprise and a sudden dip in her mood.

“Wen Xin, does having Liang Luoyu to look after me mean that you won’t have time to take care of me anymore? Liang Luoyu said that you and Mr. Mu are busy with important things…”

With her head down and looking utterly forlorn, Tan Xingyue caught Wen Xin’s attention. Wen Xin smiled gently, a rarity given her usual patience, as she began to explain.

“Don’t worry. I’ve just been a bit busier lately, but I won’t neglect your matters. Let’s go have dinner, whatever you’d like to eat, my treat!”

Wen Xin’s voice was soft as she comforted the uneasy Tan Xingyue. She had indeed been neglecting Tan Xingyue’s care recently, but she should be around school for the foreseeable future and hoped to accompany Tan Xingyue for more meals.

After having dinner together, Wen Xin had just come out from the school when a black Maybach stopped before her.
