Chapter 933: Chapter 931: That kind of pain… I’ve long been used to it
Mu Chengxi looked at Wen Xin, whose complexion was somewhat unwell, and walked over to her, leading Wen Xin away from Ma Wenyuan’s grasp.
“Stop making things difficult for her. It’s already not easy for her to have come this far. Why still make her do something she’s unwilling to do?”
Mu Chengxi was somewhat angry; he couldn’t stand seeing someone giving Wen Xin a hard time, even if it was someone Wen Xin cared about. Mu Chengxi would not allow him to trouble her.
Wen Xin leaned on Mu Chengxi’s shoulder, silent for about three to five minutes, then she slowly stood up, turned her head, and looked at Ma Wenyuan, who was standing to the side.
“Let’s go and see what the situation is.”
Wen Xin looked at Ma Wenyuan, and she decided to stop running away. She was very clear that escaping was the most useless thing.
When Ma Wenyuan saw that Wen Xin was finally willing to take action, he almost jumped up in excitement. He walked beside Wen Xin, “You should have let go of the grudge in your heart long ago. You should know, what your parents want to see most is you completing their unfulfilled wishes well.”
Ma Wenyuan followed behind Wen Xin, his footsteps much lighter; he was incredibly happy.
Wen Xin walked into the changing room, put on professional work attire, and entered the laboratory with Ma Wenyuan.
Mu Chengxi did not follow Wen Xin into the physics research institute; he went back to the car, sat down, opened Wen Xin’s tablet that was left in the car, and began to deal with some matters; his own issues also needed tending to.
When Xiao Mi arrived at the research institute, she saw Mu Chengxi sitting alone in the car without Wen Xin’s figure inside. She walked over to the car and gently tapped on Mu Chengxi’s window.
Mu Chengxi heard the noise, looked up at the window, and saw Xiao Mi looking at him. She opened the car door, gazing directly at Xiao Mi.
“Where did you come back from?”
Xiao Mi looked at Mu Chengxi but did not answer his question. “Brother-in-law, why are you sitting here? Where’s my sister?”
“Your sister was dragged into the physics laboratory by Ma Wenyuan. Sun Ning probably wants to see you; perhaps you should go up first to see what Su Ning wants with you.”
Upon hearing Sun Ning wanted to see her, Xiao Mi unconsciously narrowed her eyes. She wasn’t sure if Sun Ning had discovered some secret, or…
“Then, I’ll go up first. You wait here for my sister.”
Ever since Xiao Mi met Mu Chengxi, she felt that this man was not simple, always feeling a sense of guilt when facing him and not knowing what to do.
So, she made up an excuse and left Mu Chengxi’s side as quickly as she could.
Xiao Mi went straight to the Biological Laboratory. When she entered Sun Ning’s lab, Sun Ning was kicking a machine in front of her, leaving Xiao Mi puzzled, not understanding what Sun Ning was doing.
“What’s gotten into you? There’s no need to take out your anger on a machine, right?”
Xiao Mi quietly walked up to Sun Ning and spoke in a gentle tone, startling Sun Ning who jumped in shock; she hadn’t noticed Xiao Mi coming in.
Sun Ning clutched his chest with one hand while bracing himself on the machine with the other, feeling as if his soul had almost been frightened away.
“Hey, young lady, do you know that scaring people can scare them to death? It’s a bit too much to scare me like this, isn’t it?”
Seeing that she truly scared Sun Ning, Xiao Mi raised her eyebrows indifferently and smiled, placing a hand on Sun Ning’s shoulder in a friendly, brotherly manner.
“If you haven’t done anything wrong, why be so timid? Seriously, I just wanted to give you a little surprise. But speaking of which, what did you need me for?”
Sun Ning looked at Xiao Mi, pulled her hand off his body, retracted his hand from the machine, and picked up the test report from the printer.
“I’m about to finalize your antidote, and I need your blood for the research, which is why I called you here for a blood draw. If all goes well, you should be able to use the antidote within three days!”
The thought of his research nearing fruition filled Sun Ning with immense excitement, as if his child were about to be born.
Upon hearing Sun Ning’s words, Xiao Mi showed no sign of excitement on her face, merely squinting and looking at Sun Ning.
“When I just walked in, you didn’t seem like you were about to have any breakthroughs. You’re not trying to con me again, are you? You should know best how much blood you’ve already drawn from me.”
Listening to Xiao Mi’s accusations, Sun Ning chuckled awkwardly. He had indeed taken quite a bit of blood from Xiao Mi, so much so that the little sister had blacklisted him to avoid further blood draws, which was why he contacted Wen Xin instead of reaching out to Xiao Mi directly.
Watching Sun Ning look guilty, Xiao Mi snorted coldly, her tone and expression resembling Wen Xin’s to a tee.
“I knew you were lying to me! Sun Ning, if you play tricks on me again, watch out, I might just end you! You’re well aware of my power.”
Seeing Xiao Mi’s fierce demeanor, Sun Ning couldn’t help but step back, waving his hands frantically to explain, “No, no, it’s not like that; you’ve got it all wrong! I was just getting angry with the machine because it couldn’t detect any abnormalities in your sister’s blood samples.”
“I called you over today because I really want to use your blood for the final test. If this time is successful, I can guarantee that the medicine will detoxify you.”
At these words, Sun Ning looked at Xiao Mi with a pained expression, “Are you in the late stages now? I’ve heard that this virus is most painful in the later stages, giving you a pain so intense it makes you want to die every day?”
His words caused Xiao Mi to slowly lower her head, the smile on her face gradually fading as she nodded gently.
“It really hurts, the kind of pain that makes you wish for death, but you get used to it; I’ve become numb to the pain.”
“Each time, I think about holding on, hoping that maybe if I do, I’ll be able to escape Old Fox’s control. But in the end, every time, all I could do was compromise.”
“Now, I’m used to it. But, I still look forward to the results of your medicine. I’ve just found my family, and I don’t want to die before I get to see Wen Xin get married!”
As Xiao Mi spoke, she smiled softly, her aura of hostility dissipating in an instant. It was evident that Xiao Mi truly adored Wen Xin and hoped to witness her marriage with her own eyes.
Sun Ning lifted his hand and placed it on Xiao Mi’s shoulder, mimicking her brotherly gesture, and gently patted her shoulder.
“Don’t worry, as long as I’m here, I promise you’ll be able to see your sister get married, see her have babies, and it’s not just about your sister’s wedding, you’ll also be able to see your sister’s babies get married. Sun Ning never brags; I assure you, you’ll be healthy and well!”
