A Big Shot's Woman Is Wild and Fierce

Chapter 373 - 373: Accidentally Encountering Wen Xin and Master Xi…

With her identity alone, even a hundred Wen Xins would not be her match.

Even if the Mu family is formidable, it is merely a small family in the face of Independent State. She refused to believe that with Old Madam Mu’s shrewdness, she wouldn’t know what kind of identity could bring the Mu family a real opportunity. Wen Xin was nothing.

She had long been determined to win over Mu Chengxi, and with her new identity, her confidence returned.

“Sorry, Mr. Alfredo is currently speaking with Mr. Joyce. Miss Wei can wait in the lounge area.”

After knowing Wei Shisheng’s identity, the man in black treated her with great respect. However, since Mr. Alfredo was inside discussing business, he dared not disturb him.

“How is the investigation going? Still no news of her?”

Alfredo’s deep blue gaze fixed on the bald man standing before him. It had been a week since his arrival in the capital. While the less important individuals were found, there was still no news of the one important person he sought. “We are certain she is in the capital, but her whereabouts are completely untraceable.”

The bald man lowered his head, not daring to meet his master’s eyes. They had been searching the capital for a week, not only failing to find the Eldest Miss’s whereabouts but also unable to track down the Little Master. This made them realize the situation was tricky.

“Never mind, with her abilities, if she doesn’t want to be found, nobody can do anything about it. There’s still over a month’s time. I hope she will return to

Independent State as agreed.”

Alfredo massaged his somewhat aching temples. This week had exhausted all his patience, yet he still ended up with nothing. He truly couldn’t find out where she was.

“Mr. Alfredo, are you attending the Ou family’s banquet today? Miss Tang invited you to attend tonight’s banquet…”

“The Ou family? You mean Ou Shenzhi?”?”

Alfredo’s impression of Wei Shisheng was not very good. If not for his second uncle’s death leaving no heirs, he wouldn’t have followed his second uncle’s will to bring that illegitimate daughter back home.

Especially after meeting that illegitimate daughter, he felt an inherent aversion to that vanity-loving sister. He thought even if he brought her back to Independent State, it would only be trouble.

“The Ou family is earnestly trying to connect with Independent State. Ou Shenzhi also has some development in Independent State. He invited you to the banquet through Miss Tang’s relationship. Today is Old Mr. Ou’s birthday.”

The bald man looked into Alfredo’s unfathomable blue eyes, unsure of his master’s thoughts, and dared not say much, only briefly introducing today’s banquet.

“Since it’s a birthday banquet, we might as well join the fun. After all, coming to the capital without interacting with those major families might make them forget they live in our shadow!”

A confident smile appeared on Alfredo’s face. He had heard from Wei Shisheng that Mu Chengxi, the crown prince of the capital, would definitely attend today’s birthday banquet.

He wanted to see for himself what this legendary Mu Chengxi was like and whether he was worthy of being his opponent.

Wen Xin returned to the apartment where Mu Chengxi was still sitting on the sofa dealing with emails on his tablet. Wen Xin changed her shoes, casually took off her coat, hung it in the closet at the entrance, and walked over to Mu Chengxi, wrapping her arms around his neck, snuggling into his embrace.

“Why are you always so busy?”

Mu Chengxi tossed the tablet onto the table, wrapped his arms around Wen Xin, and then had her sit on his lap.

“You weren’t home, so I busied myself with some of my own things. Did you go out to meet Wen Huai today?”

“Ah.” Wen Xin did not expect Mu Chengxi to ask who she had met today. She was suddenly a little confused and did not know how to respond.

“If you don’t want to talk about it, it’s okay.”

Mu Chengxi always indulged Wen Xin to no end. He never pressed her on topics she didn’t want to discuss; his question was just casual.

“It’s not that I don’t want to tell you. You just caught me off guard with that question. Yes, Wen Huai did call me out, but he came with Ma Wenyuan’s wife. Did I tell you that Ma Wenyuan’s wife is my aunt?”

Wen Xin was momentarily unsure how to explain her family situation. She had skillfully avoided some details when talking about her parents with Mu

Chengxi. Now, bringing up Wen Zhimo would surely lead to many other issues.

This was the first time Mu Chengxi heard Wen Xin mention her aunt. He raised an eyebrow at Wen Xin, waiting for her to continue.

“Master Xi, is it almost time? Are you and Xiaoxin ready? We…”

Unbeknownst to them, Liang Luoyu had entered his fingerprint into the lock, allowing himself in without knocking. He opened the door himself and pushed it open.

From Liang Luoyu’s supervisory perspective, Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi’s actions seemed quite intimate, and with a little imagination, one could guess what the two were doing.

Liang Luoyu stood frozen for three seconds before quickly retreating, overwhelmed by a sense of guilt.

Following behind, Mu Bei saw Liang Luoyu hurriedly backing out, puzzled, ‘ Young Master Liang, what’s wrong?”

Liang Luoyu quickly shut the door, covered Mu Bei’s mouth, and made a shushing gesture. He whispered into Mu Bei’s ear with a look of utter despair. He looked as if he had nothing to live for as he spoke in a low voice.

“I just went in without knocking, and Master Xi and Wen Xin were… Ahem… I think I’m about to die!”

Mu Bei was startled by Liang Luoyu’s words. He widened his eyes at Liang Luoyu, pulled his hand away from his mouth, and looked at Liang Luoyu in shock.

“You… then you’re probably dead…” At this moment, Mu Bei did not dare to speak at all. He mouthed to communicate with Liang Luoyu. His brain was working quickly. How could he give Liang Luoyu a chance to survive?

Wen Xin, sitting on Mu Chengxi’s lap and seeing the door shut firmly, looked at Mu Chengxi, puzzled.

“What’s wrong with him? What happened to scare him like that?” Wen Xin couldn’t understand why Liang Luoyu looked so frightened. Was there something wrong with them?

Seeing Wen Xin’s innocent expression, Mu Chengxi softly laughed and gently squeezed her waist..
