A Big Shot's Woman Is Wild and Fierce

Chapter 918: Chapter 916: Your people are very capable, they’ve been taking those close to me.

Xiao Mi withdrew her arms, bowed her head in helpless amusement, and whispered softly, “You’re the nicest person to me, apart from my sister. I don’t have the thoughts you’re talking about.”

“I never thought of deceiving you, I just felt that I didn’t have much time left, and I wanted to live according to my own way.”

“It’s just that after meeting you, I felt a light in my life. I am willing to dim my light for you. You like it when I look pitiful, so I will be pitiful because I enjoy your pampering.”

“But the word ‘deception’ is too severe for me; I never thought about deceiving. I’m just greedy for your tenderness.”

Xiao Mi stood up from the bench, walked behind Muxi, and gently hugged him from behind.

“When you saved me, I had only three years left. I just wanted to enjoy the feeling of being cherished. I know my approach might be too selfish, but… I just like you, what can I do?”

“I didn’t intend to hide my identity either, but if my identity were exposed, would you still let me stay at the base? Could I still enjoy your care and protection?”

“I’d rather give up everything just to be by your side. Isn’t my behavior clear enough? Can’t it make you understand my true feelings?”

As Muxi listened to Xiao Mi’s heartfelt confession, the rage in his heart gradually subsided. In fact, he wasn’t even sure what he was angry about—it felt more like he was petulantly fighting with himself.

When he had learned about Xiao Mi’s identity, his first reaction was annoyance. This irritation was inexplicable; it was as if his most prized possession had vanished and was beyond his reach ever again.

Muxi turned around and gently embraced Xiao Mi, treating her as a treasure, afraid to exert too much force, worrying that even the slightest pressure might hurt her.

“In the future, I might not need to take care of you anymore. You are the second young lady of the Wen family, and I…”

Before Muxi could finish, Xiao Mi suddenly reached up to wrap her arms around Muxi’s neck, stood on her tiptoes, and kissed his lips.

After the kiss, Xiao Mi didn’t let go of her embrace but instead leaned closer to Muxi’s ear and spoke in a soft voice.

“No matter what my identity is, I am still the girl who likes you. My identity shouldn’t be an obstacle to my feelings for you. I hope you can be resolute; just loving me is enough!”Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Xiao Mi’s words made Muxi’s drifting gaze suddenly turn resolute. He tightened his embrace slightly and bent his head to kiss her red lips.

He, too, wanted to love resolutely. Even if Wen Xin disagreed, he did not intend to let go. The pitiful girl he had nurtured for two years was his everything; he had never thought about letting her leave him.

In the living room, Mu Chengxi held Wen Xin as they watched the couple in the garden. Mu Chengxi turned his head to look at Wen Xin, whose expression was cold and difficult to read, feeling an uneasy premonition of impending danger.

Several minutes later, the two in the garden parted. Wen Xin also turned her head to look at Mu Chengxi, her beautiful eyes narrowing slightly.

“Your people are very capable. One took away my sisters; the other took away my younger sister. Truly impressive!”

Wen Xin said through clenched teeth, her voice cold and full of resentment, seemingly very dissatisfied with Mu Chengxi.

Mu Chengxi looked at Wen Xin as she seemed a bit restless and gave a light smile. He helplessly stretched out his arm and pulled Wen Xin into his embrace.

“Little ancestor, the affection between a man and a woman requires mutual consent, and it’s not something I can decide alone, right?”

There was a tone of submissiveness in Mu Chengxi’s voice, which caused everyone in the living room to look over uncontrollably. Under everyone’s gaze, Mu Chengxi didn’t restrain himself at all; instead, he even more humbly bent down to press his face against Wen Xin’s cheek and softly cajoled her.

“Little ancestor, there’s really no need for them to take their anger out on me, right? I…”

“Alright, too clingy, let’s go back to our room!”

Wen Xin looked at the people in the living room who were watching the spectacle with amusement. She didn’t want Mu Chengxi to appear too demeaned in front of them, so she gently pushed Mu Chengxi away and walked toward the medicine box. Then, taking the medicine box, she headed straight upstairs.

After Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi returned to their room, Wen Xin treated the wound on Mu Chengxi’s arm. Looking at it, Wen Xin could imagine the danger he faced at that moment.

“Does it hurt?” Wen Xin asked with slightly reddened eyes as she looked at Mu Chengxi. She really couldn’t bear to think what she would do if something really had happened to Mu Chengxi on the road.

“It doesn’t hurt. At that moment, I only had one thought in mind, which was to find you quickly, so I was negligent. But fortunately, I had people around who protected me with their lives. Mu Bei took a bullet for me.”

Wen Xin threw herself into Mu Chengxi’s arms, holding him tightly. “When we get back, I’ll prepare some good medicine for him, so he can recover quickly.”

“Mhm.” Mu Chengxi gently pinched Wen Xin’s cheek, responded softly and tenderly, and held Wen Xin tightly, indulging in this most beautiful moment.

In the early morning in Beijing, the first ray of sunlight shone through the curtains into the room. Old Madam Mu opened her eyes and looked at Auntie Fu, who was sitting by her bed, “Is there still no news about Little Yao and Xin girl?”

“Old Madam, please don’t worry. The young lady has already contacted Mu Bei. According to Mu Bei, the young master has already found the young mistress. They should be back by tomorrow. I think the young master didn’t want to disturb you late at night, so he hasn’t called yet.”

“The young lady said that they are very safe, so Old Madam, you don’t have to worry!”

Auntie Fu handed Old Madam Mu her clothes, soothingly calming her emotions so that she wouldn’t be too anxious about Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi.

“Is that true? If so, that’s really great. I’ve been very worried about little Xin Xin. Her status is too special. I just want to use the Mu family to protect her, but I couldn’t have imagined someone would be so bold as to take her away during a Mu family banquet. It’s just outrageous!”

Old Madam Mu sighed gently. Her heart had been in her throat these past few days; she was genuinely worried that something would go wrong. She knew she would blame herself to death if something really had happened. If only she hadn’t insisted on hosting that banquet, perhaps this wouldn’t have occurred.

“Grandma, don’t think too much about it anymore. The person who took Wen Xin has already been dealt with. Just before I was on the phone with Mu Bei, it was Chengxi who answered. He said he was with Wen Xin, and they would take a flight back later. They’ll be back in Beijing in thirteen hours.”

Mu Chengxu spoke as he entered from outside, holding in his hands the fried liver and door-nail meat pies that their grandmother loved most.

“Wen Xin has already been found and is safe for sure now. Grandma, you can rest easy. You haven’t been eating well these past few days. I’ve brought you your favorite fried liver and door-nail meat pies. Get up, wash up, have something to eat, and then get some good rest.”
