Chapter 259: To Rome

e one entity with no distinction between them. This would give him a sense of happiness, otherwise there wouldn’t be much difference whether or not they got married."What if I max out your card""Don't...Chapter 259: Off to Rome

After saying this, she hung up the call and tossed her phone to her assistant. "For now, there's no need to answer his calls. When anyone asks where Nuwan is, just say you have no idea."

"Understood." The junior assistant stared blankly at Cai Xiaoqing—was that it

Just a one-liner and the matter is settled Who’s afraid of whom Do I look like someone who hasn’t set foot in a courtroom before

This is all there is to it

The junior assistant wore an expression of admiration. That was her goal—when could she speak as freely and confidently as Cai Xiaoqing did.

She envied her so much.

Cai Xiaoqing was simply too amazing.

Cai Xiaoqing checked for the next available flight when Lin Ning knocked on the door to enter her office. She glanced up, then lowered her head again as Lin Ning approached and rapped his knuckles against the desk. "Where’s Nuwan"

"She’s in Rome—she got injured there and was kidnapped. I hear she fell from a height of around seven or eight meters. Ye Er acted as human padding for her, but both of them are out cold now," Cai Xiaoqing said, adding, "The New Year is still on. Can we get some peace and quiet"

"She was kidnapped in Rome" Lin Ning whistled, and Cai Xiaoqing looked up—why did it sound like he was gloating

"Those kidnappers are truly reckless to kidnap Nuwan in Rome. This is akin to kicking the anthill!" Lin Ning clicked his tongue and glanced at Cai Xiaoqing. "You’ve been busy"

"I haven’t been until she called me," Cai Xiaoqing replied, checking for the earliest available flights—there was a direct flight to Rome departing tomorrow morning at eight o’clock. Seeing Lin Ning approach her desk and raise an eyebrow when he saw that she was looking up flight information, she asked, "Are you going to Rome"

"That’s right."

"You really are Nuwan’s nanny," Lin Ning said with a frown. "She has Ye Er by her side if she’s hurt—what need is there for you to go To be an extra person” He had planned on taking Cai Xiaoqing up into the mountains to soak in some hot springs for several days, but Rome

“Mou Wen seems to be in good spirits, joking around with me. It looks like she wasn’t hurt too badly. Who cares about her anyway But when she said she’s staying at Ye Yan’s place, that’s a bit much. I’ll go see my idol and experience firsthand the admiration Mou Wen has for him.” Cai Xiaojing laughed as she spoke, causing Lin Ning’s face to instantly darken. A moment ago, he was still smiling, but now his expression had turned gloomy like an approaching storm.

Moxiaobai...

This damn kid knew that Cai Xiaojing was infatuated with Moxiaobai, but he never expected her to be this crazy about him.

It’s certain... This kid is as good as dead the moment he sets foot in A City.

Cai Xiaojing was just about to book a ticket when Lin Ning forcefully turned off the computer. Cai Xiaojing was stunned and looked at Lin Ning with an angry glare, “What are you doing”

Lin Ning grabbed her arm and dragged her out while holding her hand, “We’re going on a retreat for a few days.”

"Damn it, let me go! I want to go to Rome... I need to see Ye Yan..." Despite her struggles, Cai Xiaojing was still dragged into the elevator. Turning back to her dumbfounded assistant, she said, “By the way, keep an eye on her phone for her. Bye.”

Lin Ning waved his hand as he left. The assistant saw Director Lin’s unusually radiant smile and Cai Xiaojing’s gritted teeth. She looked up to the sky, knowing that Director Lin had a good relationship with Cai Xiaojing.

However...

The assistant brought her index fingers together in a traditional gesture of marriage and suddenly shrieked, “Oh my god, they must be having an affair.”

Mou Wen called back again, but this time Lily answered the phone instead; Cai Xiaojing had missed Mou Wen’s call.

Rome.

Ye Feimo’s injuries were slowly stabilizing, and Mou Wen’s heart, which had been tightly clenched in worry, finally relaxed. Seeing the deep wounds on his back that were visible to the bone, she felt immense pain for him.

This fool, knowing full well how fragile he is, still insists on not worrying her. How could he be so foolish He just needed to stay in bed while she visited him. Sometimes being too stubborn can be quite detrimental to men.

During her recuperation period, she couldn't move around casually. Apart from accompanying the unconscious Ye Feimo and chatting with him, most of the time was spent lying down as frequent movement could strain her wounds.

Robert gave Wu Shuang a green ointment specifically for treating scratches. Every morning and evening, Wu Shuang would apply this ointment for her. When applied, it felt incredibly soothing, cool at first followed by a slight warmth that gradually dissipated.

Wu Shuang mentioned that the ointment could prevent scars from forming, ensuring no visible marks on her body once she healed. Warming had been concerned about this as an actress couldn't afford any scars, especially on areas like her arms, back, thighs, and calves where such injuries would be very noticeable. She was initially planning to undergo surgery after the wound healed, but upon hearing that it could prevent scarring, she felt extremely happy.

To avoid unnecessary suffering.

Moxiaobai originally wanted to offer to apply the ointment for her, but Wu Shuang kicked him away. Warming laughed silently without saying anything.

She found that it was quite amusing how the Mu family siblings interacted with each other. Seeing Warming always believed what Moxiaobai said, Wu Shuang couldn't help but say, "Moxiaobai's words go in one ear and out the other; don’t take them too seriously."

"I know," Warming replied with a smile. Wu Shuang shook her head, knowing it was one thing to understand and another to put into practice. Out of curiosity, she asked, "Have you got a boyfriend yet, Miss Wu Shuang"

"No." She didn't have a current boyfriend but had plenty of ex-boyfriends.

Warming tilted her head in thought, wondering what kind of boyfriend someone like Wu Shuang should look for. It must be quite difficult to find the right match; who would dare marry her Compared to Tang Mandong, she was even more domineering and decisive, a red rose blooming amidst storms of bloodshed, unlike those raised in peaceful times who had never held a gun.

She was truly a queen, an older sister figure with authority.

Moreover, with such extraordinary brothers at home, what kind of man would be worthy to marry her Her standards must be incredibly high.

So there were benefits to being ordinary too.

"What did Xiaobai say this time"

"Nothing. Yesterday I said you looked very pretty and that many people must chase after you, but Xiaobai said no one would dare to pursue you; it'd only be you pursuing others." Being an honest child, Warming revealed everything Moxiaobai had told her. Additionally, Moxiaobai also mentioned that since his sister was a queen figure, no man dared challenge her unless he was foolish.

This is a life sentence to be oppressed tightly, like his old man. That's a bloody example.

"Is that all he said" Mo Wushuang raised an eyebrow and looked at Wenr暖 with a smile that wasn't quite a smile. The charm in his purple eyes was enough to make any woman's heart race, let alone men.

"That's it." Wenr暖 answered honestly.

Mo Wushuang smiled coquettishly, "Boyfriends aren't really my style."

Wenr暖 licked her tongue. Mo Wushuang helped her change the dressing on her shoulder, his movements skillful; other than a slight sting of pain, she felt nothing. The bullet wound on her chest seemed to have healed quite well these past few days, but it would still take some time before it was completely recovered.

"Wenr暖, what's up with that butterfly on your shoulder Is it a tattoo" Mo Wushuang asked as his fingers brushed over her shoulders, finding no sign of a tattoo. A girl as obedient and kind as Wenr暖 wouldn't have any reason to get one.

That butterfly looked really beautiful, colorful and unique. It made him want to get a similar one for himself.

"You mean that butterfly I don't know, it's something I was born with." Wenr暖 said with a smile as she glanced at her shoulder; she didn't pay much attention to the butterfly, just treating it like an ordinary tattoo. "My mom says it's a birthmark, pretty one though. It’s lucky it turned out as a butterfly and not some ugly, blackish birthmark."

Mo Wushuang smiled and looked curiously at the butterfly, furrowing his brows. He found it strange; would an ordinary person have such a unique birthmark in the shape of a butterfly Not very common.

"Very pretty, I think I'll get one for myself too." Mo Wushuang finished studying the tattoo and helped her tie up the bandage again. After Wenr暖 thanked him, he said casually, "We're family; there's no need to say thank you."

Wenr暖 smiled.

She had just put on some clothes when the door was pushed open and Mo Xiaobai slipped in, still smiling with charm. He carried a plate of seafood pasta accompanied by seafood mushroom soup, a glass of white wine, and a dessert.

The moment he entered, the fragrance filled the entire room.

"Little Auntie, here comes the delicious food! The most authentic seafood pasta." Mo Xiaobai brought over a small table and placed the dishes in front of Wenr暖. They were visually appealing, making anyone’s appetite surge just by looking at them.

Especially the seafood pasta; she had tried it before in City A but this one was slightly different—shrimp meat, squid, oysters, prawns... The color combination was exquisite and artistic, with a strong scent wafting out.owl of soup and finished it.Mrs. Wen praised Wen Jing's cleverness, which she accepted without any qualms.On the upper level,Cheng Anya said, "Nuannuan [Warm], I know that Feimo was wrong this time an...
