“Not really, just about twenty minutes or so,” Mu Chengxi said, extending his hand to pull Wen Xin into his embrace. The moment he held Wen Xin, the longing in his heart was alleviated.

“My little ancestor, I missed you so much.” Mu Chengxi looked at Wen Xin tenderly, his eyes almost brimming with affection.

“I’ve been busy, but I missed you too.” Wen Xin tiptoed to lightly kiss Mu Chengxi’s lips.

“Cough cough… You two really don’t hold back at all!” Chu Yunxuan stood behind them, her gaze filled with a bit of disdain.

“Why should we hold back? We’re not doing anything indecent.”

Wen Xin turned in Mu Chengxi’s arms to challenge Chu Yunxuan with a defiant look. “What about you? Do you want to come back with us for dinner? The butler has prepared a lot of delicious food, and we can celebrate the New Year together. ”

“I’ll pass. What’s so fun about hanging out with a bunch of kids? You guys have fun. I’m going to have a blast at the bar tonight.”

Chu Yunxuan knew Wen Xin had agreed to celebrate the New Year with Wen Huai and others, but without any entertaining programs planned, she wasn’t very interested, so she decided to find her own fun.

“If you’re not going, then we’ll be leaving.” Wen Xin lightly twisted the ring on her finger before holding Mu Chengxi’s hand, and they left together.

On their way back to the Wen residence, Mu Chengxi took Wen Xin to pick up a cake she had ordered in advance, and then they returned to the Wen household.

The butler saw Mu Chengxi for the first time and was not very familiar with him.

“Miss, this gentleman is…” The butler greeted Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi warmly, and while serving Mu Chengxi a cup of tea, he couldn’t help but ask. “Mu Chengxi, my boyfriend.” Wen Xin took the tea from the butler, took a big sip, and replied lightly.

Hearing Wen Xin’s response, the butler didn’t immediately recognize Mu Chengxi as someone particularly noteworthy; just a nagging thought that the surname Mu was somewhat unique.

“So, Miss’s boyfriend is Mr. Mu…” As the butler said these words, his attitude suddenly became hesitant.

His brain started working overtime, and about half a minute later, the butler looked at Mu Chengxi and Wen Xin in shock, “Mr. Mu is… the Crown Prince of Beijing? The current head of the Mu family?”

“Seems so.” Wen Xin answered the butler very lightly. Compared to the butler’s shock, Wen Xin’s attitude could be described as extremely calm.

“Seems so?” These words left the butler utterly dumbfounded. Who would have thought that their young miss would be so dismissive of Mu Chengxi’s status? Was it because she had spent too long in the countryside and didn’t know the significance of Beijing’s elite?

The butler was at a loss for words, not knowing how to express his feelings, but he felt that Wen Xin’s attitude towards Mu Chengxi was somewhat inappropriate.

He watched as Mu Chengxi peeled pistachios and macadamia nuts for Wen Xin, feeding them to her one by one without her having to lift a finger.

Seeing his young miss take it for granted, the butler couldn’t help but sweat. This was strange; how could the distinguished Crown Prince of Beijing serve their young miss like this… too…

“Didn’t you say you’d be back late today?”

Wen Huai and Tan Xingyue came in to find the butler standing aside, witnessing the scene of Mu Chengxi caring for Wen Xin. They hadn’t expected Wen Xin to return so early.

“He came back from abroad today, so I finished work early. What delicious things did you buy? Did you get the duck feet I wanted?”

Wen Xin leaned on Mu Chengxi’s shoulder, playing games and enjoying being fed, still wondering if she would get to eat duck feet today.

“We bought it, we bought it. How could we not buy what you wanted to eat?”

Tan Xingyue excitedly found the duck feet among the snacks and sat beside Wen Xin.

A week had passed, and Tan Xingyue’s mood had significantly improved.

Wen Huai, carrying the snacks they bought, casually placed them on the coffee table, looking puzzledly at the butler. He wondered why the butler wasn’t supervising dinner preparations in the kitchen instead of standing there.

“What are you doing here, butler?”

“Yo…young…master…” Upon hearing him speak, the butler turned his head slowly towards Wen Huai, then suddenly grabbed Wen Huai’s wrist and led him towards the kitchen. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Young master, did you say… the young miss’s boyfriend… is the Crown Prince of the Mu family?”

“Yes, he’s the Crown Prince of the Mu family.”

Wen Huai didn’t understand why the butler was so agitated. He knew Mu Chengxi’s status was very high in Beijing, but in front of his sister, Mu Chengxi was utterly without status. He didn’t see what there was to be excited about.

After confirming with Wen Huai, the butler’s brow furrowed tightly. He couldn’t believe his young miss was together with the Crown Prince of the Mu family.

“Butler? Are you okay? Though Mu Chengxi’s status is a bit special, he’s pretty good to my sister. I didn’t like him much before either, but I’ve gradually accepted him. As long as my sister is happy, that’s what matters.”

To Wen Huai, nothing was more important than Wen Xin’s happiness. Moreover, lately, Mu Chengxi seemed to be deliberately trying to win him over, and he thought Mu Chengxi wasn’t too bad.

After being “bought over” by Mu Chengxi, Wen Huai found him quite agreeable.

Wen Xin had called the butler early that morning, saying they would have hotpot for dinner, so the butler had the cook prepare the ingredients early.

Looking at the rich hotpot ingredients and the bubbling red broth, Wen Xin’s appetite surged. She turned to Mu Chengxi.

“The butler also prepared a mushroom broth pot, so you don’t have to eat something too spicy with me today.”

Wen Xin said this with a gentle smile to Mu Chengxi. It had been a long time since she had enjoyed such a spicy hotpot, and she didn’t want to settle for a bland clear broth hotpot just to accommodate Mu Chengxi. She didn’t like it.

Seeing Wen Xin act like a little foodie, Mu Chengxi smiled indulgently and softly said, “As long as you’re happy.”

Then, Mu Chengxi placed a cooling herbal tea next to Wen Xin, saying, “To counter the spiciness.”

Used to their interactions, Wen Huai and Tan Xingyue just lowered their heads and focused on their meal, leaving the butler sitting opposite, questioning his life.

Throughout the meal, Mu Chengxi took care of Wen Xin, who seemed to have grown accustomed to this treatment, happily eating whatever Mu Chengxi served her. The atmosphere was very harmonious.

After dinner, Wen Xin took out a hawthorn ball from her backpack and tossed it to Tan Xingyue and Wen Huai. She knew they probably ate too much, but she also noticed Mu Chengxi probably hadn’t..
