A Big Shot's Woman Is Wild and Fierce

“I’ll go prepare it right now, Miss. You have some snacks first, and I’ll have the kitchen start preparing immediately…”

After eating, Wen Xin, along with Sa Ning and Qian Ye, discussed the plan to leave. Then Wen Xin went back to the yard of Qian Cai to see the medicinal herbs Qian Cai had prepared.

At the same time, she also packed some herbs, planning to have Zhuge Jingming make them into pills for Yu Jie to take later. Yu Jie had a poor appetite, and drinking herbal medicine for a long time was a burden on her body.

In this way, amidst the random busyness, night had fallen. Wen Xin, after washing up, lay in bed and naturally found herself enveloped in Mu Chengxi’s arms.

Wen Xin turned over in Mu Chengxi’s arms and looked up at him. She knew that Mu Chengxi had been patiently waiting the whole day, waiting for her to give him a reasonable explanation.

Wen Xin looped an arm around Mu Chengxi’s neck and clung to him, laying her head on Mu Chengxi’s chest.

“I didn’t deliberately keep it from you. I believed that this illness would be cured one day, so I didn’t tell you.”

Mu Chengxi hugged Wen Xin tenderly and kissed the corner of her lips gently, his voice sounding somewhat feeble, “What exactly happened? I felt something was off when Zhuge Jingming treated you initially. You didn’t want to talk about it, so I didn’t force you.”

“But now… I want to know.”

“Mmm, you want to know, so I’ll tell you about my past.” Wen Xin knew that she couldn’t avoid the topic forever, and without further evasion, she directly recounted the events to him.

Wen Xin released Mu Chengxi, and struggling up from his embrace, she sat cross-legged on the bed, looking very serious.

“This all started when Wen Huai was brought back to Independent State.”

“Back when Wen Huai fell ill, I stayed with him in Ancient Town Square for a while. Later, I had some matters to deal with, so I sent Wen Huai back to Ma Wenyuan. It was then that my aunt took Wen Huai back to Independent State.”

“While in Independent State, my aunt had no power to protect Wen Huai. The Wen family took him to the special training base, where he underwent inhumane training…”

“After I dealt with my affairs and returned, only then did I learn of Wen Huai’s situation. I rushed to Independent State…”

“You know, from that moment on, I swore to become strong, to become someone everyone feared. That way, even if I had a vulnerability, they would have to consider whether they could afford to touch me…”

“I smashed the training base in Independent State and took Wen Huai out, handing him over to my grandfather. Then I broke into Kunshan Laboratory; I wanted to destroy what they valued most.”

“But back then, I was really too young. I completely forgot that I wasn’t strong enough to confront those cunning old foxes. I ended up getting beaten to a breath away from death and was thrown into the snow…”

“I remember very clearly, it was the coldest time of the year in Independent State, and the goose-feather snow falling from the sky soon buried my petite body.”

“Just when I thought I was about to die, my uncle found me with his men and brought me back from Mount Kunshan to home… And that’s when the Bai Family and the Elders Guild of Independent State decisively broke with each other…”

“And I had already suffered a cold injury, leading to my current condition.”

After hearing Wen Xin’s words, Mu Chengxi’s heart ached as he embraced her tightly within his arms. His grip was so firm that Wen Xin could barely breathe in his hold, yet she didn’t have the heart to push him away.

No one knew how long it had been when Mu Chengxi finally let go of Wen Xin. Together, they lay down on the bed.

“Is that laboratory still there? Can a single shell take care of it?” A murderous intent flashed in Mu Chengxi’s eyes; he longed to kill all those who had hurt Wen Xin.

“No, we can’t. The laboratory has too much data, and there are many virus samples inside. We can’t act rashly, or it could lead to great danger.”

Wen Xin knew what Mu Chengxi was thinking. She held his face in her hands gently pinching his cheeks.

“I’ll deal with the matters of Independent State one by one. The grievances I’ve suffered will not be overlooked; I will seek redress for each and every one,” she declared.

Wen Xin pressed her forehead against Mu Chengxi’s shoulder and bit hard on his chest, satisfied only after hearing Mu Chengxi yelp in pain, before releasing him.

Mu Chengxi cradled Wen Xin’s delicate body, sighing gently, “Ah, you little rascal, always bullying me.”

Wen Xin lifted her head from his embrace and gave him a sweet smile at his indulgent tone.

“I’m not just good at bullying you, but I choose to bully only you in this manner,” she replied.

“Alright, it’s getting late. Let’s sleep. We have to leave early tomorrow. I bet grandma hasn’t been able to reach us on the phone; she’s probably losing sleep over it,” he said.

Wen Xin smiled softly at the thought of the clingy yet endearing old lady, knowing she lacked patience with most people.

However, when it came to Old Madam Mu, she found herself with extra patience, aware the old lady genuinely cared for her. The best she could offer in return was sincerity for sincerity.

In the early morning, Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi got up early, having breakfast while Qian Meng and Mu Bei happened to return from outside.

“Why have you two come back so early? You must be exhausted,” Wen Xin noted, glancing at the time before turning to Qian Meng and Mu Bei, who were settling into their chairs.

“Not at all, not at all. How could we dare to complain about being tired when serving the little princess?” Qian Meng said after taking a bite of his deep-fried dough stick, shaking his head. Working for Wen Xin didn’t feel like hard work at all to him.

After finishing breakfast with his head bowed, something seemed to occur to Mu Bei. He looked up at Mu Chengxi and said,

“Master Xi, the butler couldn’t find you yesterday and called me. He said Old Madam couldn’t get ahold of you or Miss Wen and was worried. He asked you to call Old Madam back when you have time, as she appears to have something important to discuss with you.”

“Mhm, got it.” Mu Chengxi and Wen Xin had already guessed that grandmother would be anxious for not getting through to them last night; what they hadn’t expected was that it would lead the butler to Mu Bei.

“Master Xi, when I was driving back yesterday, I saw several men in black near the neighborhood. Their faces were unfamiliar, and there was a D-shaped emblem on the cuff of their clothes. I’m not sure where they came from, but I’ve had people look into it with no results so far,” Mu Bei reported.
