Chapter 837: Chapter 836: Little Vixen… Stop Making Trouble
Mu Chengxi carried Wen Xin back to the room, then took off her clothes and carried her straight to the bathroom. He was quite adept at helping Wen Xin wash without getting her arm cast or leg wound wet.
Mu Chengxi’s eyes dimmed as he looked at Wen Xin’s injuries, and a wave of heartache surged involuntarily within him.
He gently held Wen Xin in his arms, his voice soft and tender as he spoke, discussing with Wen Xin.
“I’ll take you to the Taros family, let’s borrow their ancient jade to help you recover faster.”
“It’s not that serious. Besides, the Taros family is having some minor issues lately, and the aura of the ancient jade hasn’t recovered. Don’t bother anymore, my injury will heal quickly.”
As Wen Xin spoke, her uninjured hand slipped under the hem of Mu Chengxi’s clothes, resting on his abdomen and slowly sliding downward.
Feeling Wen Xin igniting a fire on him, Mu Chengxi quickly grabbed her restless hand, struggling to suppress the agitation within him, his voice hoarse as he said, “Stop it, you’re not well enough, and I don’t have that…”
“Don’t worry, I can handle it if you’re gentle, and… I’m on my safe period, you can…”
As she spoke, Wen Xin twisted in Mu Chengxi’s arms like a little vixen, eventually giving a light lick at Mu Chengxi’s Adam’s apple…
Only heaven knows how Wen Xin’s fireproofing ability could set Mu Chengxi ablaze, reducing his reason and patience to ash in an instant. He tore off his belt…
At two in the morning, Wen Xin lay motionless on the bed, maintaining the same position until Mu Chengxi opened the bathroom door. Only then did she slowly raise her head and, perhaps due to a lack of strength, lay back down again.
All of Wen Xin’s adorable actions were observed by Mu Chengxi, who smiled indulgently, approached her, and gently wiped her body with a warm towel, cleaning up the traces left after their lovemaking.
“Little vixen…”
Mu Chengxi lay on Wen Xin’s back, kissing her beautiful shoulder blade softly, and then, dropping the towel, he climbed onto the bed, enveloping Wen Xin in his arms with gentle movements, careful not to touch her injuries.
Wen Xin lay on Mu Chengxi’s chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, and slowly closed her eyes… a dreamless night.
When Wen Xin woke up, it was already the next afternoon. Upon opening her eyes, she saw Mu Chengxi with one arm propping him up on the bed, gazing at her.
She stretched lazily, her voice a bit hoarse as she asked, “What time is it?”
“It’s past eleven, what do you think? Shall we get up? You still have an acupuncture appointment with Zhuge Jingming this afternoon.”
Mu Chengxi leaned in close to Wen Xin, kissing the corner of her lips gently, his voice soft as he inquired.
Wen Xin hugged Mu Chengxi and rubbed gently against his chest before resting her head on his shoulder. “Did Xiao Mi go off to school?”
“She did. This morning, the butler and Mu Bei took her to school together. The butler seemed very excited.”
“Mm, the butler has always brooded over losing her, blaming himself for the mistake. Thankfully, now that she’s back, we can slowly make up for the hardships she’s faced in the past.”
As Wen Xin spoke, Mu Chengxi lifted her from the bed and carried her to the bathroom to wash up.
The Wen family of the Independent State…
“What did you say? Alfredo personally signed off on it? She actually allowed Moore to sign, permitting Moore’s docks to seize our goods? Has he forgotten about our agreement?”
The subordinate kept his head lowered, not daring to look at Old Fox Wen; he knew how important this batch of goods was to the Wen family, and it was only because he had no other solution that he had reported the matter to Old Fox Wen.
“I’m talking to you, answer me.”
Old Fox Wen, annoyed, stood up from his chair, walked over to his assistant, and yanked him, waiting for the assistant to respond.
“Yes, but I haven’t seen Alfredo since that day; he’s been avoiding me.”
The assistant spoke with a lowered head and a sense of powerlessness; he too had never expected such an incident, and he had been utterly frazzled by the goings-on with that ship.
“I’m going to find him right now. I want to see if they’ve forgotten our agreement, if he no longer wishes to marry Wen Xin.”
“Butler, prepare the car…”
The butler waiting outside immediately went downstairs to prepare the car upon hearing Old Fox’s words.
As the butler descended the stairs, a black car pulled up outside the Wen family’s courtyard, and the butler quickly went out, seeing Mr. Bai get down from the car.
Seeing Old Master Bai step down from the car, the butler couldn’t help but pause for a moment; ever since the incident with Wen Xin’s parents, there had been no contact between the Wen and Bai families.
Since the incident with Wen Xin at the training base, the Wen and Bai families could be considered sworn enemies, the sort that do not acknowledge each other wherever they go.
Seeing Old Bai walk into the courtyard from outside, the butler rushed out and respectfully said, “Old Bai, what brings you here today, you…”
“Enough with the nonsense. I’m here to see Old Wen; tell him to come out and meet me.” Holding a tablet in his arms, Old Bai walked past the butler and straight into the Wen family villa.
As Old Bai entered the villa, Old Fox Wen happened to be coming down from upstairs and his eyes brightened upon seeing Old Bai; he had never imagined that the old man from the Bai family would show up in his own villa.
“What kind of wind blew you over here? If I remember correctly, it’s been over a decade since you last visited my home!”
Old Fox Wen greeted him with a smiling face, which had always been his way with people, especially when facing his opponents, never letting his true emotions show.
“Don’t play nice with me. I don’t have time to exchange pleasantries with you. I’m not here to chat today; it’s about Xiao Mi’s matter that brought me here.”
Seeing the Old Fox, Old Bai cut straight to the chase. He had been so infuriated when he received the call from Wen Xin that his chest was about to explode.
He had never imagined that his hard-searched-for granddaughter ended up in Independent State, not only suffering a great deal but also being trained as an assassin; this was something he could not accept.
“Xiao Mi? Who is Xiao Mi? I don’t know her.” Old Fox’s gaze didn’t waver, looking straight at Old Bai with a faint smile, as if he truly didn’t recognize Xiao Mi.
“Old Fox, stop pretending. Others might not understand you, but how could I not? You think I would come to you directly without evidence? Tell me, why did you bring Xiao Mi from Beijing to Independent State in the first place and train her as an assassin?”
Old Bai, already a hot-tempered old man, couldn’t stand hearing about the inhumane treatment his granddaughter endured. Now, his sole focus was to secure justice for Xiao Mi.
