A Big Shot's Woman Is Wild and Fierce

Wen Xin placed the computer aside, crawled up from the bed, and without turning her head, walked towards the bathroom.

Entering the bathroom, Wen Xin sat down on the toilet, lost in thought. She clasped her hands tightly together, resting them on her legs, her whole body was tensed, not daring to reveal any emotion.

After seeing all of Xiao Mi’s experiences, Wen Xin was even more certain of Xiao Mi’s identity. She had always felt that there couldn’t be so many coincidences in the world.

Yet, coincidentally, she had just gone to the Southern Territory and happened to meet Xiao Mi.

Probably after sitting in the bathroom for about ten minutes, Wen Xin felt her originally suppressed chest return to normal. She stood up from the toilet, walked to the door, took a deep breath, and then opened the door of the bathroom.

The moment she opened the door, Mu Chengxi lunged forward, pulling Wen Xin into his embrace.

Feeling Mu Chengxi’s tension, Wen Xin smiled lightly, her hands supporting Mu Chengxi’s waist to create some distance between them.

“What’s wrong?” Wen Xin raised her head, somewhat puzzled as she looked at Mu Chengxi. Her man seemed a bit distracted, and she couldn’t understand why Mu Chengxi would be so worried about her.

“What’s wrong? I’m worried about you!” Mu Chengxi heard Wen Xin asking such a heartless question and couldn’t help but laugh lightly in resignation. When had this girl’s mind become so dull?

Wen Xin looked at the resigned smile on Mu Chengxi’s face. She reached out to hold Mu Chengxi’s hand and went back to sit at the edge of the bed.

“Did you make arrangements with Qian Meng for tomorrow? I want to know some things about my parents in Independent State. I also want to know who is in control of the Shadow Alliance and to understand the hidden forces in Independent State. I feel there’s no need to wait any longer.”

Wen Xin’s dark, shining eyes seriously met Mu Chengxi’s as she hesitated for a moment before she slowly spoke, “I think my previous thoughts were too simple. I always believed the Shadow Alliance was an independent organization, but I think I was probably wrong!”

“The power behind the Shadow Alliance is from Independent State; it’s very likely to be the Old Fox of the Wen family!”

Wen Xin had also realized all of this in a flash. She had always felt there was a cooperative relationship between the Shadow Alliance and Independent State.

But, according to Xiao Mi’s experiences, being taken to the Shadow Alliance was not by chance, but deliberately arranged by someone.

Xiao Mi’s successful escape from the Shadow Alliance was not due to her own abilities being impressive, but rather because the people from the Shadow Alliance deliberately let her go.

Although Wen Xin couldn’t yet deduce the purpose of releasing Xiao Mi, she could be certain that Xiao Mi was meant to be used against her.

That Old Fox indeed had great schemes; everyone was a chess piece on her board, she wanted to control everyone.

But it would also depend on whether she, Wen Xin, would allow it.

Mu Chengxi knew what Wen Xin was talking about, but he didn’t understand the implications of her words. All he knew was that, in an instant, Wen Xin had become cold, just like when he had first met her.

Mu Chengxi looked at Wen Xin, cradling her cheeks with both hands and resting his forehead against hers, gently kissing Wen Xin’s thin lips.

“I’ve said it before, you have me, and I’ll handle these matters. You just need to live your life well!”

Mu Chengxi’s eyes were intently fixed on Wen Xin’s, hoping she would take his words to heart; he didn’t want his long efforts to go to waste. It wasn’t easy for him to have finally brought Wen Xin out from the darkness, just for her to return to it.

Wen Xin understood Mu Chengxi’s thoughts. She wrapped her arms around Mu Chengxi’s shoulders and gently pulled, bringing him down onto the bed and lying on top of him in one smooth motion.

“I know I have you, but there are some things I can’t escape from. With you here, I’ve already felt much at ease. I can’t let you face all those troublesome matters alone. Don’t worry, I’m not as weak as you think.”

“Maybe after you see my strength, you’ll understand that I’ve long been ready to face that day!”

Wen Xin lowered her head to kiss Mu Chengxi, her slender fingers casually playing with his pajamas. Right now, she didn’t want to think about those complicated matters and didn’t want Mu Chengxi to dwell on them either.

It would be better for them to do something else to distract themselves…

Independent State, Wen family

Old Master Wen sat on the sofa, his expression stern as he watched Wen Yunuo on the video, clearly dissatisfied with him.

“You’ve been in Beijing for a month now and still haven’t managed to gain a firm foothold there; isn’t that a bit humiliating? You brought the best projects to Beijing, aren’t they enough to win people over?”

“Grandfather, although we have good projects, we don’t want to expose our origins from the Independent State, so there are many difficulties. But, please give me another half a month, and I will surely get this matter sorted out.”

Wen Yunuo bowed his head, not daring to meet Old Master Wen’s gaze, fearing to see disappointment in his eyes. He had strived from a young age to earn Old Master Wen’s approval and regain his initiative within the Wen family.

He didn’t want his many years of hard work to go to waste over such a trivial matter, leading to his grandfather’s disappointment.

Old Master Wen was not ignorant of the situation in Beijing; the Mu family’s dominance was not a recent development. Indeed, trying to develop a foothold beyond the Mu family in Beijing was far from easy.

“Alright, I’ll give you another half a month. I want to hear good news from you then.”

Old Master Wen’s tone suddenly softened a great deal, his originally cold eyes warming slightly.

“During your month in Beijing, have you seen that disaster of a girl, or that unruly brat?”

At the mention of Wen Xin and Wen Huai by Old Master Wen, Wen Yunuo clenched his hands tightly under the table, maintaining a calm expression.

“No, when I arrived in Beijing, I specifically inquired about their siblings’ affairs. Both of them were not in Beijing; I couldn’t find out where Wen Huai went, but it seems Wen Xin has gone out with her boyfriend to have fun.”

“Hmph, that disaster, thinking that being with that Mu family kid allows her to do as she pleases, even having that boy bomb me, she truly defies all reason!”

“Once you’re established in Beijing, the first to deal with is the Mu family. I refuse to believe that without the Mu family’s protection, he could continue to be so arrogant. Then we’ll capture her and make her obediently marry Alfredo, following my commands.”
