Chapter 2110  : Wen Yuan (4) Yuan Muchun had acted unreliable in front of Wen Xuchen several times, but she was still concerned at the critical moment.

Twenty-four hours later, warm porridge and exquisite dishes were placed in front of him.

After opening the packaging of the chopsticks and handing it to him with both hands, she smiled and said,

“You must be starving. I begged for this shamelessly. You know about Ru Yixuan’s porridge, right? Many people can’t even make an appointment! It’s delicious. Try it.”

Wen Xuchen glanced at her calmly and took the chopsticks under her expectant gaze.

“Are you afraid now?”

The smile on Yuan Muchun’s face stiffened. In the end, her shoulders slumped and she lowered her head, admitting her mistake sincerely.

“Sorry, I was wrong.”

“Think of a way to atone for your sins.”

Yuan Muchun shuddered for no reason. For some reason, her words sounded more like “Think about how to die.”

Forget it, she was the one who caused him to be hospitalized anyway.

He was still responsible.

She watched as Wen Xuchen started to eat. His slow and elegant actions didn’t look like someone who had starved for 24 hours.

*

When Wen Xuchen finished eating, he saw that the girl on the sofa had already fallen asleep.

Although the temperature in the room was moderate, it was winter after all.

Frowning, he got up and put the food box on the table aside. He opened the cabinet beside the door and took out a blanket. He walked to her and bent down to cover her.

The lights in the ward were very bright. Perhaps it was because it was rare for a girl to be so close to a girl. Perhaps it was because it was rare for a girl to be so quiet. Or perhaps… she was curious about how much that lively and adorable child had changed in the past few years.

However, when his gaze landed on her face, he frowned.

Her skin was fair and tender, and her facial features were exquisite and beautiful. She looked good when she slept, but there was a hint of fatigue in her eyes.

What made him more concerned was the corners of her reddened eyes. A few of her long eyelashes were gathered together because of the moisture. Under the light, one could clearly see tiny crystals hanging on them.

They had been together for a day, and she had been pranking him during the day. She had even pretended to be obedient and apologized to him.

In just a short while, she actually cried herself to sleep.

And he didn’t notice it at all.

Recalling what Wu Sheng had told him today, he had run from the Qin family’s young master’s birthday party to his grandparents’ villa.

If not for the fact that he had just returned to the country and had cleaned up the villa, settled the heating and paid the electricity bill, she would have slept alone on the sofa in the living room of the villa.

Then, she was frightened by his sudden “intruder” and ended up in the police station and then the hospital.

For a long time, he had not heard any news of the Yuan family looking for her.

At the thought of this, his eyes darkened.

A proper young lady had almost been humiliated by a fool. Now, she didn’t even show any concern.

No wonder Bo Jinchuan would suddenly attack the Yuan family.

When he first heard of this decision, he didn’t quite understand it. But now, it seemed like it was a necessary and correct decision.

*

She slept until the next morning. When she opened her eyes, she subconsciously looked in the direction of the bed.

She didn’t see anyone.

Frowning, she sat up on the couch, her blanket falling to the floor.

She paused and reached for the blanket.

At this moment, Wen Xuchen came out of the washroom. He had changed out of his hospital gown and was wearing a brand new black suit.

He was tall and slender, and his handsome face was expressionless. He was as indifferent as water, but he was also cold and distant.

Just by standing there, he exuded an air of authority.

This was the first time Yuan Muchun had seen Wen Xuchen in a formal suit. The first time they met, he was arrested in his pajamas and sent to the police station. The second time, he was wearing a hospital gown.

Hence, when she saw such a warm side of him, the sense of oppression made her suddenly realize how outrageous her actions yesterday were in front of this person.

Wen Xuchen was adjusting his sleeves with his head lowered. He glanced at her casually and said calmly, “You’re awake?”

“Yes…” Yuan Muchun replied uneasily before asking,” Are you going to be discharged? ”

“Yes.” Although his reaction was a little cold, Wen Xuchen still replied, “Go wash up when you’re awake.”

Yuan Muchun hurriedly stood up and entered the washroom.

When she came out, Wu Sheng had just entered.

“Good morning, Miss Yuan.”

“Good morning.”

Yuan Muchun had only washed her face, and her hair was still wet.

Although Yuan Muchun rarely put on makeup in the past, she didn’t even use basic skincare products now.

The washroom was near the door. When the two of them met, Wu Sheng’s gaze lingered on Yuan Muchun’s face for a few seconds.

“Wu Sheng.” His deep and gentle voice sent a chill down Wu Sheng’s spine. He hurried into the ward and placed the breakfast on the coffee table.

Wen Xuchen sat down on the sofa and watched as Wu Sheng opened the breakfast boxes.

“Come and have breakfast.”

He didn’t look up, but his words were undoubtedly directed at Yuan Muchun.

Yuan Muchun walked over and sat down a distance away.

“I’ll get someone to send you back to the villa after breakfast. Rest well at home today.”

Yuan Muchun was stunned. “Since you’re fine…”

“Don’t forget that you’re my servant now.”

Yuan Muchun was speechless.

“I’ve hired a butler and two experienced servants to learn from them. I’ll give you a day off today.”

“But I still have to go back to school.”

“I don’t need you to stay in the villa 24 hours a day. Just make dinner and breakfast in time.”

Wu Sheng stood at the side, his lips twitching.

Was she tired of living?

She had almost lost her life this time, yet she still dared to eat Miss Yuan’s food.

That was impressive.

However, being a servant…

Ha.

“…Oh.” Yuan Muchun was speechless.

*

Wen Xuchen seemed to have informed the butler beforehand. The butler wasn’t unfamiliar with Yuan Muchun.

He greeted her politely and introduced the two servants to Yuan Muchun. Then, he asked her to go upstairs to rest. If she needed anything, she could ask.

His attitude didn’t seem like he was treating a guest.

Yuan Muchun didn’t think too much about it. After all, the Yuan family had always put on airs as a wealthy family. Furthermore, because of a relative from Country Y’s royal family, almost all the servants at home had been forced by Yuan Sichun and her daughter to become “slaves” without human rights.

The attitude of the butler and servants now was far inferior to that at home.

The first thing Yuan Muchun did was to take a shower. When she went to the sink to dry her hair, she realized that there was a pile of skincare products.

It was a brand she had just stabilized in recent years.

Actually, for people with sensitive skin, this brand’s classic series was the best choice.

She was naturally unprepared, so she could only help to prepare it.

Were all butlers these days so efficient?

After doing basic skincare and drying her hair, she opened the wardrobe curiously. Indeed, it was filled with clothes of her size.

Yuan Muchun was speechless.

She wasn’t a fool.

Previously, she was still thinking of avoiding responsibility. Now, she felt even more guilty.

Forget it, I’ll just learn a few dishes in the afternoon.

*

When Wen Xuchen returned at night, the butler welcomed him.

Looking around the living room, before he could speak, the butler smiled and said,

“Miss Yuan is cooking in the kitchen.”

Wen Xuchen raised an eyebrow and changed his shoes before walking towards the kitchen.

Just as she approached, she saw faint smoke floating out from the top of the door frame. There was a choking smell.

He wasn’t surprised at all. When he walked to the door, he saw Yuan Muchun wearing a blue and pink apron. She held a shovel in one hand and a pot lid in the other. She squinted and coughed a few times as she tried to scoop the vegetables.

His stance was more like a soldier rushing to the battlefield.

The stir-fry created a sense of fearlessness.

He watched her quietly for a while. Seeing that she had gritted her teeth and made up her mind, he went forward to rummage through the ingredients in the pot. He found the salt jar, grabbed some, and threw it into the pot from afar. Within a few seconds, he quickly reached out to turn off the fire.

Hearing the crackling sound in the pot gradually die down, Yuan Muchun heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he walked forward and found the seasoning jar. He tried to add one bottle after another.

In the end, she used a shovel to stir it before clapping her hands. She said confidently and proudly, “Okay!”

Wen Xuchen was speechless.

‘OK what?’

How dare she say okay?

He felt that the instant noodles incident was an accident. But now, it seemed like he was wrong.

Could the food in the pot be eaten?

Perhaps the girl had realized the problem. After some thought, she picked up the lid to cover her face and turned on the fire.

About half a minute later, she turned off the fire again.

Wen Xuchen turned to leave.

Yuan Muchun turned her head and happened to see him.

“Wen Xuchen, you’re back. Come and try it. I learned a new dish this afternoon!”

Wen Xuchen didn’t stop in his tracks.

“Hey… Wen Xuchen… Forget it, go wash your hands and change your clothes. Hurry up, I’ll get the dishes out.”

For the first time in his life, Wen Xuchen regretted it.

When the servant returned with the trash, she didn’t know what to say when she saw the smoky kitchen.

Seeing that Yuan Muchun was humming a tune, she quickly cooked a few new dishes.

*

Wen Xuchen took half an hour before he came down. When he saw the dishes on the table, he deliberately avoided them and sat down.

While the servants were serving the dishes, Yuan Muchun sat down beside him.

She picked up her chopsticks and placed some food into Wen Xuchen’s bowl.

Wen Xuchen’s hand froze.

She turned her head and wanted to say something, but her eyes were filled with anticipation.

It was the most common dish for beginners, but there was no classic red and yellow combination.

Was there soy sauce in the color?

Seeing her like this, Wen Xuchen took a deep breath and threw the blackened egg into his mouth.

The smell of the soy sauce and the burnt taste left the eggs with only saltiness and bitterness.

“How is it?”

Wen Xuchen swallowed the egg without batting an eyelid. He glanced at her nervous and expectant expression and hummed softly. Just as she was about to beam, he added, “There’s still a lot of room for improvement.”

Yuan Muchun’s smile froze.

Her words were tactful, but she understood.

It was not a good evaluation.

Her expression and shoulders collapsed along with her mood.

Wen Xuchen found it strange. He couldn’t bear to see the girl like this.

Pursing his lips, he took the initiative to put another tomato into his mouth.

“It’s not bad to do this for the first time. You’re… talented.”

The two servants exchanged glances.

Even a dog wouldn’t believe her.

However, Yuan Sichun seemed to believe him.

*

When Yuan Muchun entered the kitchen in the morning, under the supervision of the servants, she rinsed the rice and turned on the switch.

This breakfast told her that it was done.

He didn’t dare to let her interfere anymore.

Hence, Yuan Muchun sent Bo Anxi a location and asked her to pick her up for school.

Seeing that breakfast was normal, Wen Xuchen heaved a sigh of relief.

After breakfast, Wen Xuchen put on his coat and turned to the person who was still sitting on the chair and texting non-stop.

“Aren’t you going to school today?”

“Yes, why?”

Wen Xuchen continued to button his shirt. “I’ll send you there immediately.”

Yuan Muchun’s eyes widened. “No… no, my friend will pick me up later.”

Wen Xuchen paused for a moment before replying, “Yes.”

*

On the way, Bo Anxi’s heart ached when she heard what Yuan Muchun had gone through.

“…However, it’s said that having a stepmother means having a stepfather. Just ignore the Yuan family. Also, Sister-in-law has declared that she wants the Yuan family… Although I know you can’t accept it, I feel that instead of letting them torture you or sacrifice you for the Yuan family, it’s better to let Sister-in-law take over the Yuan family… Your sister and your stepmother have been scheming since that time… I don’t think they will give you anything… I even have a feeling that even if Sister-in-law takes over the Yuan family, she won’t mistreat you…”

Bo Anxi wanted to be more tactful, but the truth was cruel. She was picky and hesitant.

“An Xi, you don’t have to say anything. I know. From the start, they didn’t intend to let me participate in the company’s matters. I also knew that they would sell me sooner or later for the Yuan Corporation. Fortunately, they were too arrogant and had always wanted to sell me for a good price. They have been searching for me all these years, so I can study for a few more years in peace. I don’t care about the life and death of the Yuan Corporation. My mother died because they coveted the Yuan Corporation. In fact, they almost sold me. Although I dodged this time, my life won’t be easy in the future.”

“As long as the Yuan Corporation is still in their hands, I’ll be sold by them a second and third time. I’ve lived with their expressions since I was young. I don’t have much ability, I’m not smart or strong. If Sister-in-law can really take the Yuan Corporation away from them, I won’t hate her. Instead, I’ll thank her. No, I’ll thank her!

Bo Anxi held her hand and said, “There might be many smart and capable women like Sister-in-law in reality, but not every woman has to be like that. We’re just ordinary people. We’re not strong or smart. It’s not wrong. We have our own way of life and are qualified to obtain our own happiness.”
