Chapter 60 No Measures Taken
Wenxi took Li Zhixing to a nearby cafe. They each ordered a cup of coffee and sat down.
"Boss Li, how long will you stay in the capital?"
"There are a lot of things going on at the company. I'll be back the day after tomorrow."
“So fast!”
"Well, unfortunately, there has been no progress on my aunt's matter." Li Zhixing looked worried.
Wenxi felt that Li Zhixing was very kind, like an older brother. He saw that Li Zhixing was troubled but didn't know how to help him solve his problems.
"Mr. Li, what is your aunt like? Is she very beautiful?"
"Yes, she was very beautiful. I was only four years old when she disappeared, so I don't remember much, but I have photos of her. My aunt was really a beauty when she was young. My grandfather had two sons before he had my aunt as a girl. Our generation has only been boys, so my grandparents doted on my aunt very much."
Wenxi smiled. This was very similar to the Mu family. Girls were rare and were treasures.
"After my aunt disappeared, my grandmother became ill from guilt and longing. She felt that she was the one who brought my aunt to China, which led to her disappearance. Not long after, she died of illness. My grandfather's health also deteriorated drastically, but he just held on because he wanted to see my aunt again."
Wenxi was deeply touched and felt sad after hearing this.
"Boss Li, one day, you will find her!"
"Thank you, Mrs. Mu, for your kind words!"
"Mr. Li, please don't call me Mrs. Mu. It's weird. Mainly because no one usually calls me that. Call me Wenxi."
"Wenxi, I'll call you Wenxi from now on."
"Wenxi, are you from Beijing?"
"Well, yes, I was born here." Wenxi didn't want to talk about his childhood anymore. Every time he mentioned it, it felt like tearing the wound open again.
"Are your parents here too?"
"My father remarried and started a new family. My mother died during childbirth. The only memory I have of her is a photo."
Li Zhixing suddenly felt very upset as he accidentally touched upon the girl's sad life experience.
"sorry!"
Wenxi smiled calmly, "It's okay, Mr. Li, these things happened a long time ago."
The two chatted for a while before parting ways. Li Zhixing gave Wenxi his personal phone number, telling her to call him if she needed anything. Although he wasn't in China, he had many friends there, so she could contact him if she needed anything.
Wenxi carefully saved his contact number.
Back at the museum, Fade Chen asked curiously, "Who was that person just now?"
"It's a business partner of my family's."
"Business partner? He seems to care about you."
"What are you thinking? I just think he's very kind, like an older brother. I heard from my husband that he's married and very loving with his wife."
"I see, I thought he was interested in you."
"You're overthinking it."
"Xiaoxi, the long holiday starts the day after tomorrow. Even if the students don't come, we will have a holiday too. Where are you planning to go with your husband?"
"A short vacation? I forgot about it. I haven't thought about it yet."
“We can start planning now.”
Wenxi smiled, "What about you? Where are you planning to go?"
"I'm going to take my girlfriend to the beach, and she keeps asking to see the sea."
She had never seen the sea before. You couldn't see the sea in Beijing. She didn't know if Mu Yansen had any plans.
Bai Chuxian waited two days but didn't get a call from Xu Sun. She didn't know if he had succeeded, and the call was unanswered. She didn't dare to go to Mu Yansen rashly, for fear of arousing his suspicion.
Huang Biqin felt her daughter had been acting strangely these past two days, absent-minded and not drawing properly. She couldn't help but remind her, "Xiaoxian, what's wrong with you lately? It's been two days, and I haven't seen you put pen to paper. Your exhibition keeps getting postponed. If this continues, will your exhibition ever open?"
"I see. I just haven't had any inspiration these past two days."
"The holiday is coming soon. Do you want to go abroad with me to relax?"
"I might as well stay home than go out with you. It's boring."
"Okay, okay, if you don't want to go out with me, then why don't you go out with some friends? Maybe you'll get some inspiration."
Friends? Bai Chuxian thought for a long time but couldn't think of any decent friends she had. I wonder if Brother Yansen has made any arrangements?
After work, Wenxi locked the door and saw the Maybach. Mu Yansen also saw her, got out of the car, walked towards her, and pulled her over affectionately.
"How come you're busier than me and get off work so late every day?"
"That's how it is in our line of work. We have to wait until students finish school or after get off work, so naturally we get off work late. Mr. Mu, you don't have to wait for me in the future. Just go home directly after get off work."
"If you don't go home, what's the point of me going back alone?"
Wenxi felt sweet in her heart and found that Mu Yansen was becoming warmer and warmer.
After getting in the car, Wenxi remembered something, "Mr. Mu, have you had dinner?"
"No, I'll wait for you to eat together."
“…”
“But I ate…”
Mu Yansen glared at her, his eyes accusing her of not waiting for her to eat together.
Wenxi felt extremely guilty. "I have classes tonight and need to use up some energy, so I ate first. In the past, there were fewer students and fewer classes, so I would eat after get off work. But now I can't, I'm too hungry."
Mu Yansen felt sorry for his wife, so he didn't bother with her.
"As a punishment, you must accompany me for dinner later."
"Yes, sir!"
Wenxi was in a good mood. She leaned on Mu Yansen and looked at the night view outside. Beijing is a big city and the night view is very beautiful.
A condom ad flashed across the big screen of a roadside building, and Wenxi's mind froze. Mu Yansen hadn't seemed to take any precautions for the past two nights, and she had forgotten to take her pills afterward. What should she do? Could she get pregnant?
Mu Yansen looked down and saw Wenxi looking at him with a tearful expression. His heart tightened, "What's wrong?"
Wenxi glanced at Uncle Zhang, feeling embarrassed to speak. Mu Yansen raised the barrier and said, "Go ahead."
Wenxi was still afraid that Uncle Zhang would hear, so she whispered, "We didn't take any precautions, and I didn't take any medicine. What should we do?"
Mu Yansen breathed a sigh of relief. "Is that all?"
"Well, this is a big deal. What should I do if I'm pregnant?"
"If you're pregnant, just give birth to the baby!"
"How can you make it sound so simple? You think it's laying eggs!"
"You are not a hen, how can you lay eggs?"
"Mu Yansen, do you know that giving birth is easy but raising a child is difficult? Children need to be nurtured with love. Our relationship is not stable yet, and we don't know what will happen in the future. How can we have a child now?"
This was the first time Wenxi called him by his full name.
"What do you mean? What do you mean by we don't know what will happen in the future? Do you think I'm just playing with you now? Do I, Mu Yansen, have that much free time? My time is very precious."
Wenxi felt very aggrieved. "That's not what I meant. I just think we're not stable yet and it's not appropriate to have a child."
"We're married and have developed a relationship. What's inappropriate about it? Why are you being so pretentious?"
"I'm being pretentious?"
Wenxi was so angry that she didn't want to bother with him anymore.
