Just a week ago, someone came to the Wei family, saying he was entrusted by someone to find the young lady of the Payten family. From that day on, she learned of her true identity; it turns out she is the cousin of the Independent Stateâs acting chairman.
With her identity alone, even a hundred Wen Xins would not be her match.
Even if the Mu family is formidable, it is merely a small family in the face of Independent State. She refused to believe that with Old Madam Muâs shrewdness, she wouldnât know what kind of identity could bring the Mu family a real opportunity. Wen Xin was nothing.
She had long been determined to win over Mu Chengxi, and with her new identity, her confidence returned.
âSorry, Mr. Alfredo is currently speaking with Mr. Joyce. Miss Wei can wait in the lounge area.â
After knowing Wei Shishengâs identity, the man in black treated her with great respect. However, since Mr. Alfredo was inside discussing business, he dared not disturb him.
âHow is the investigation going? Still no news of her?â
Alfredoâs deep blue gaze fixed on the bald man standing before him. It had been a week since his arrival in the capital. While the less important individuals were found, there was still no news of the one important person he sought. âWe are certain she is in the capital, but her whereabouts are completely untraceable.â
The bald man lowered his head, not daring to meet his masterâs eyes. They had been searching the capital for a week, not only failing to find the Eldest Missâs whereabouts but also unable to track down the Little Master. This made them realize the situation was tricky.
âNever mind, with her abilities, if she doesnât want to be found, nobody can do anything about it. Thereâs still over a monthâs time. I hope she will return to
Independent State as agreed.â
Alfredo massaged his somewhat aching temples. This week had exhausted all his patience, yet he still ended up with nothing. He truly couldnât find out where she was.
âMr. Alfredo, are you attending the Ou familyâs banquet today? Miss Tang invited you to attend tonightâs banquetâŠâ free novelkiss.com
âThe Ou family? You mean Ou Shenzhi?â?â
Alfredoâs impression of Wei Shisheng was not very good. If not for his second uncleâs death leaving no heirs, he wouldnât have followed his second uncleâs will to bring that illegitimate daughter back home.
Especially after meeting that illegitimate daughter, he felt an inherent aversion to that vanity-loving sister. He thought even if he brought her back to Independent State, it would only be trouble.
âThe Ou family is earnestly trying to connect with Independent State. Ou Shenzhi also has some development in Independent State. He invited you to the banquet through Miss Tangâs relationship. Today is Old Mr. Ouâs birthday.â
The bald man looked into Alfredoâs unfathomable blue eyes, unsure of his masterâs thoughts, and dared not say much, only briefly introducing todayâs banquet.
âSince itâs a birthday banquet, we might as well join the fun. After all, coming to the capital without interacting with those major families might make them forget they live in our shadow!â
A confident smile appeared on Alfredoâs face. He had heard from Wei Shisheng that Mu Chengxi, the crown prince of the capital, would definitely attend todayâs birthday banquet.
He wanted to see for himself what this legendary Mu Chengxi was like and whether he was worthy of being his opponent.
Wen Xin returned to the apartment where Mu Chengxi was still sitting on the sofa dealing with emails on his tablet. Wen Xin changed her shoes, casually took off her coat, hung it in the closet at the entrance, and walked over to Mu Chengxi, wrapping her arms around his neck, snuggling into his embrace.
âWhy are you always so busy?â
Mu Chengxi tossed the tablet onto the table, wrapped his arms around Wen Xin, and then had her sit on his lap.
âYou werenât home, so I busied myself with some of my own things. Did you go out to meet Wen Huai today?â
âAh.â Wen Xin did not expect Mu Chengxi to ask who she had met today. She was suddenly a little confused and did not know how to respond.
âIf you donât want to talk about it, itâs okay.â
Mu Chengxi always indulged Wen Xin to no end. He never pressed her on topics she didnât want to discuss; his question was just casual.
âItâs not that I donât want to tell you. You just caught me off guard with that question. Yes, Wen Huai did call me out, but he came with Ma Wenyuanâs wife. Did I tell you that Ma Wenyuanâs wife is my aunt?â
Wen Xin was momentarily unsure how to explain her family situation. She had skillfully avoided some details when talking about her parents with Mu
Chengxi. Now, bringing up Wen Zhimo would surely lead to many other issues.
This was the first time Mu Chengxi heard Wen Xin mention her aunt. He raised an eyebrow at Wen Xin, waiting for her to continue.
âMaster Xi, is it almost time? Are you and Xiaoxin ready? WeâŠâ
Unbeknownst to them, Liang Luoyu had entered his fingerprint into the lock, allowing himself in without knocking. He opened the door himself and pushed it open.
From Liang Luoyuâs supervisory perspective, Wen Xin and Mu Chengxiâs actions seemed quite intimate, and with a little imagination, one could guess what the two were doing.
Liang Luoyu stood frozen for three seconds before quickly retreating, overwhelmed by a sense of guilt.
Following behind, Mu Bei saw Liang Luoyu hurriedly backing out, puzzled, â Young Master Liang, whatâs wrong?â
Liang Luoyu quickly shut the door, covered Mu Beiâs mouth, and made a shushing gesture. He whispered into Mu Beiâs ear with a look of utter despair. He looked as if he had nothing to live for as he spoke in a low voice.
âI just went in without knocking, and Master Xi and Wen Xin were⊠Ahem⊠I think Iâm about to die!â
Mu Bei was startled by Liang Luoyuâs words. He widened his eyes at Liang Luoyu, pulled his hand away from his mouth, and looked at Liang Luoyu in shock.
âYou⊠then youâre probably deadâŠâ At this moment, Mu Bei did not dare to speak at all. He mouthed to communicate with Liang Luoyu. His brain was working quickly. How could he give Liang Luoyu a chance to survive?
Wen Xin, sitting on Mu Chengxiâs lap and seeing the door shut firmly, looked at Mu Chengxi, puzzled.
âWhatâs wrong with him? What happened to scare him like that?â Wen Xin couldnât understand why Liang Luoyu looked so frightened. Was there something wrong with them?
Seeing Wen Xinâs innocent expression, Mu Chengxi softly laughed and gently squeezed her waist..
