A Big Shot's Woman Is Wild and Fierce

“Qian Meng, this way of speaking, I really am not used to. I think I preferred it when you spoke more arrogantly before,”

After Wen Xin finished speaking, the bun Qian Meng had just picked up suddenly dropped onto the table. He slowly raised his head, and with a face full of embarrassment, looked at Wen Xin.

“Wasn’t I unaware of the princess’s identity at first? If I had known who you were, even if you kicked me to death, I wouldn’t dare speak to you in that manner. Can we consider that matter closed now?”

Qian Meng looked helplessly at Wen Xin. If he had known that one day Wen Xin would question him like this, he definitely would not have been so arrogant before.

After having breakfast, Mu Chengxi helped Wen Xin put on her coat and then, holding her hand, led her away from home, with Mu Bei and Qian Meng following behind them.

Mu Bei, holding the car keys, originally intended to drive, but Qian Meng stopped him.

“No need to drive; your car can’t even get in. What’s the use of driving? Just ride in my car instead.”

Qian Meng looked at Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi, made a gesture of invitation to both, then opened the car door, waiting for Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi to get in.

Following Qian Meng’s movements, Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi got into the car, while Mu Bei stood by, looking at Qian Meng with a warm smile on his face.

“It really feels a bit rude to have Young Master Qian drive. Perhaps you could give me the car keys, and I’ll drive instead?”

Mu Bei’s politeness was met with a light laugh from Qian Meng, who then raised his hand to pat Mu Bei on the shoulder, looking in the direction of Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi.

“In front of Miss Wen, our statuses are not much different. I know the way well, so it’s more convenient for me to drive. Just get in the car.”

Actually, the ancient martial arts family does not allow outsiders in. Wen Xin taking Mu Chengxi to the ancient martial arts family was already breaking the rules of Ancient Martial Town. But considering that Mu Bei often accompanied Wen Xin, Qian Meng did not stop him from bringing Mu Bei along.

The car set off, traveling on the outer ring road of Beijing for about an hour, then left the boundary of Beijing…

The car continued to drive for about another hour. Qian Meng glanced at Wen Xin, who was playing a game through the rearview mirror, and his voice softly reminded,

“Miss Wen, in about fifteen more minutes, we will enter a place with no signal, which might affect your gaming experience.”

Hearing about the lack of signal, Wen Xin raised her head from Mu Chengxi’s shoulder and looked towards the rearview mirror, her beautiful eyes slightly squinting.

“Is that place so ancient that it doesn’t even have communication devices?” Wen Xin couldn’t understand what kind of place it was, where there could be no signal. Surely there shouldn’t be such places in this era?

Wen Xin’s puzzled tone elicited a faint smile from Qian Meng, who patiently explained to Wen Xin what kind of place Ancient Martial Town was.

“I’m not exactly clear about the specifics. All I know is that Ancient Martial Town is a place isolated from the world, where all supplies are transported by us. The people of Ancient Martial Town grow some fruits, vegetables, and grains, but no one is willing to come out to shop.”

“Ancient Martial Town doesn’t have many people, probably just over three hundred. Most of the young people have moved out, leaving mostly older residents.”

Wen Xin frowned upon hearing Qian Meng’s description of Ancient Martial Town. She found it hard to imagine how such a cloistered community could be of any help to her.

“Your Qian family is so large? With over three hundred people?”

Over three hundred people, such a number seemed quite large. Wen Xin found it difficult to imagine what kind of family it was.

“It’s not all Qian family members. Ancient Martial Town has a rule that outsiders are not allowed, but if there is a marriage alliance between two families, the family of either the bride or groom can join Ancient Martial Town. This is why the population of Ancient Martial Town keeps growing.”

Mu Bei, listening to Qian Meng, was filled with curiosity. He struggled to understand what it was like to live so far from normal life and couldn’t comprehend why people would adapt to such a boring life.

“Young Master Qian, the place you describe sounds like a primitive society… that’s just too… abnormal, right?”

“Primitive society? How could that be? It’s a paradise on earth…”

Qian Meng laughed openly at Mu Bei’s words. How could the life everyone longed for be like a primitive society?

“If it weren’t for needing to conduct business outside, I would’ve wanted to return to Ancient Martial Town and live there long ago. Even modern society can’t compare to the life there.”

As Wen Xin watched the signal disappear on her mobile phone, she put it back into her pocket idly and leaned against Mu Chengxi, gazing out the window with her beautiful eyes.

Seeing that Wen Xin had stopped talking, Mu Chengxi gently squeezed her little hand that was resting in his palm and asked her in a balanced tone.

“Aren’t you curious what Ancient Martial Town looks like?”

“Why should I be curious? Don’t forget, they came from Independent State. Independent State’s technology is twenty years ahead of the average place. Even if they have been isolated for twenty years, their lives are still no different from modern people!”

“Also, have you thought about what business the Qian family is involved in? They can live off that old business for twenty years, and they are still top dog. What do you think Ancient Martial Town must look like now?”

When Qian Meng depicted the people of Ancient Martial Town as not willing to come out, Wen Xin had already guessed what Ancient Martial Town might be like. It seemed that Ancient Martial Town was becoming more and more interesting.

Mu Chengxi, watching the confidence in Wen Xin’s eyes, smiled softly and gently embraced her, placing a gentle kiss on the corner of her lips.

At that moment, their car drove onto a dirt road through a forest surrounded by giant trees. Due to the winter season, all the trees were bare, presenting a desolate sight.

“Young Master Qian, how much longer will it take? We’ve been driving for over three hours already. It’s indeed quite far,” remarked Mu Bei.

Mu Bei checked his phone. They had left Beijing at eight-thirty, and it was now eleven-thirty. He was already feeling some pain in his back, and the bumpy ride made it uncomfortable.

“About another ten minutes or so,” Qian Meng replied, noticing Mu Bei twisting and turning in the car. His sharp eyebrows slightly raised, “Aren’t you being a bit too delicate? Master Xi and the little princess haven’t even felt uncomfortable yet, and you’re already complaining!”
