A Big Shot's Woman Is Wild and Fierce

Chapter 985: Chapter 981 I’ve forgiven you, I hope you hold my hand tightly from now on

Wen Xin quietly looked on, not knowing under what circumstances Mu Chengxi had taken some of the photos.

Watching Mr. Bai and Mu Chengxi discuss her, Wen Xin felt a warm sensation in her heart. She placed her hand on Mu Chengxi’s shoulder and gently pinched him, prompting Mu Chengxi to look up and offer Wen Xin a tender smile.

In that moment, Wen Xin’s previous annoyance with Mu Chengxi completely vanished. She bent down, gently hugged Mu Chengxi, and rested her head on his shoulder with a soft sigh.

“Okay, it’s getting late. Have you and your brother clarified everything? When can we set off?”

Mu Chengxi held Wen Xin, gently patting her back, and spoke to her in a tone both tender and indulgent.

Mr. Bai, watching the interaction between the two, also felt very reassured, “Alright, go attend to your important matters. I’ll head back after your aunt returns, and I’ll gather some information. Once I have news, I’ll tell you immediately.”

Wen Xin stood up from Mu Chengxi’s embrace, turned around, and hugged Mr. Bai, leaning on his shoulder and speaking softly, “Grandfather, you must protect yourself and Grandma. Once I have settled my matters, I will bring you back to Beijing to visit my parents, visit the grandparents who raised me since I was little, and see my grandmother…”

“You must take care of yourselves and wait for me!”

Although Wen Xin had already arranged everything, she was still somewhat worried. She worried that if she pushed Old Fox too hard, he might resort to any means necessary…

Mr. Bai fully understood what Wen Xin was thinking and gently patted her back, soothingly reassuring her.

“Don’t worry, the Bai Family is not something Old Fox can touch if he wishes. If he could, he would have made his move long ago instead of waiting until today. Go on, you’ve got things to take care of, and there is no time to spare!”

With these words, Mr. Bai gently pushed Wen Xin away, urging her and Mu Chengxi to hurry off and attend to their affairs.

After seeing Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi off, the butler came in from outside and stood beside Mr. Bai, respectfully awaiting orders.

Mr. Bai placed one hand over the other, the fingers of one hand gently twirling the ring on his other hand, his gaze lingering on the scenery outside the window…

“Since Wen Xin is ready to act, notify the people at the Bai family base that they can move in on the Dark Shadow Organization. I’ve tolerated them for many years, only because I didn’t want to disrupt Wen Xin’s plans. Pulling out the Shadow Alliance now should be the most useful aid for her, right?”

Mr. Bai looked at the snowflakes falling outside the window, levering himself up with his cane and walking to the window, he sighed softly.

“Qingqing, your daughter has grown up. She can now avenge you and hold up a patch of sky in Independent State. Don’t worry, with me here, I will protect those three children just as I promised you…”

Mr. Bai’s many years of keeping a low profile, all his trust, was for the day when Wen Xin’s abilities were fully developed. He hoped Wen Xin could live well for her own sake and understood the kind of mission she carried on her shoulders.

He hoped that this time, Wen Xin could regain her agency, clear up all her affairs, and in the future live according to her own wishes.@@novelbin@@

Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi walked out of the hospital, raising their heads to watch the snowflakes falling from the sky. Wen Xin reached out and grasped Mu Chengxi’s hand, gently smiling at him.

“I’m not angry with you anymore. I know you weren’t really mad at me at that time; I forgive you. I hope that from now on you can hold my hand and lead me to face everything together, instead of hiding away by yourself and leaving me aside,” she said.

Mu Chengxi, his eyes lowered, looked at Wen Xin smiling up at him and couldn’t help but lower his head and gently kiss her thin lips as he began to speak in a tender and slow tone.

“I promise that what happened before will never happen again. I really couldn’t accept at that moment that I was just a pawn in my grandfather’s plans…,” he said.

“However, I’ve come to understand that, without those things, I might have remained the top prodigal of Beijing, and I might not have attained my status today, nor would I be worthy to stand beside you,” he continued.

“Looking back now, I really should thank them. It’s because of them that I’m qualified to stand by your side,” he added.

Seeing Mu Chengxi’s proud and serious expression, Wen Xin raised her hand gently to touch his cheek and, standing on her tiptoes, she lightly kissed his thin lips…

Sitting in the car, Moore shifted his gaze from outside back inside and turned his head to look again at Mu Dong sitting in the passenger seat. He raised his eyebrows slightly, curiously addressing Mu Bei.

“Are your master and my little princess always this clingy? Don’t they consider the feelings of us single folks?” he inquired.

Moore had indeed harbored some impractical thoughts about Wen Xin previously, but today had made it clear to him that he needed to properly pack away those inappropriate ideas.

With the kind of inseparable bond between Mu Chengxi and Wen Xin, he really didn’t stand a chance; he might as well completely give up on that idea!

Hearing Moore’s words, Mu Dong glanced at the couple embracing outside the window, indifferently shifted his gaze back, and turned to Moore with a faint smile.

“You just need to get used to it. They are actually being quite restrained. They never consider the plight of single folks. Young Master Qian has protested many times before, but it never helped much,” he said.

As Mu Dong spoke, he looked at Moore, who unconsciously chuckled, “But fortunately, you should feel relieved that you are in Independent State, a good distance from Beijing. After all, once the lady and Master Xi settle in Beijing, the chances you’ll see them won’t be many!”

“Hey, what are you talking about? You’re being very rude, you know that? What do you mean by ‘I won’t see them in the future’? Don’t forget, our little princess is the monarch of Independent State; how could she possibly settle in Beijing? Independent State is her home!” Moore replied.

Moore was quite dissatisfied with what Mu Dong had said. What did it mean for the little princess to settle in Beijing? Clearly, Independent State was her home, and if settling was to happen, it should be Mu Chengxi accompanying the little princess to settle in Independent State.

“Don’t kid yourself. You know very well how much my lady dislikes Independent State. She only returns to Independent State reluctantly to deal with these nasty affairs. If she had a choice, she wouldn’t return to Independent State at all,” Mu Dong retorted.

“But I do understand your feelings. You just don’t realize how many friends our lady has in Beijing, how happy she is there, and besides, her career is all in Beijing. There’s no way she could stay in Independent State—you can be completely assured of that!” he concluded.
