Chapter 630: Unable to Refute Being Called a Temptress

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“It’s up to Wen Xin. If she wants to go, I’ll be happy, but if she finds it annoying, I won’t force her. She’ll eventually be the mistress of the Mu family, and many people will want to curry favor with her. There’s no need for her to lower herself to get along with those people,” Mu Chengxi said.

In Mu Chengxi’s heart, Wen Xin was his precious one, responsible only for her happiness. She didn’t need to deal with troublesome matters or unpleasant people.

Mu Chengxi’s words made Old Madam Mu frown slightly, but she couldn’t refute him. Eventually, she agreed that Mu Chengxi had a point.

“Fine, let it be your way. For now, just focus on resting. Your aunts will handle the family banquet preparations.”

“Thank you, Grandma, for taking care of it,” Mu Chengxi said sweetly, feeling satisfied that Old Madam Mu wasn’t pressuring Wen Xin about the matter.

Old Madam Mu, well aware of Mu Chengxi’s tactics, gave him a sharp look but then turned to Wen Xin with a kind smile.

“I’ve already sent someone to the seafood market. How about having lunch in Grandma’s courtyard?” she asked.

“Sure, Grandma. How could I say no to a meal prepared by you?” Wen Xin replied with a sweet smile, happily agreeing to Old Madam Mu’s invitation.

After spending some time chatting, the housekeeper hurried in to inform them of visitors at the front yard, prompting Old Madam Mu and Mu Chengxu to leave in a hurry.

Once they left, Wen Xin turned to Mu Chengxi, worry evident in her voice. “Your face looks quite pale. Should I take you to rest?”

Mu Chengxi’s dark eyes fixed on Wen Xin’s bright ones, a mischievous smile playing on his lips. “Are you trying to enchant me, temptress?”

The teasing remark made Wen Xin’s cheeks flush red as she recalled last night’s events, feeling flustered.

“Rest if you want. I have work to do,” Wen Xin retorted, annoyed, and walked towards the upstairs study, leaving Mu Chengxi chuckling softly at her reaction.

Upstairs, Wen Xin entered Mu Chengxi’s study, attempting to access his computer, but was blocked by a password. She tried both their birthdays to no avail and eventually used her technical skills to bypass the security.

A minute later, she received a WeChat message from Mu Chengxi. “Couldn’t you have just asked me for the password instead of hacking it?”

Wen Xin smirked at the message and replied, “I prefer to keep a low profile, but my skills don’t allow it.”

Mu Chengxi, seeing her response, chuckled and continued his conference with his people in Continent F.

“Master Xi, we’ve heard about a new force emerging around the Independent State. Should we investigate?”

Since learning about the attack on Mu Chengxi, the people in Continent F had developed an interest in challenging the Independent State’s strength.

“No need. Focus on stabilizing Continent F first. We’ll deal with other matters later.”

Wen Xin’s strategic bombing had significantly impacted the Independent State, indicating she had no immediate plans to take control. Mu Chengxi didn’t want to interfere with her plans.

Ever since Yan Qing’s visit to the Independent State and Wen Xin’s network security system involvement, Truth Listener had gained considerable control over the state’s movements.

“Boss, the elders of the Independent State are negotiating with a mysterious organization. We’ve never heard of this group before, and there are no available records on them,” Yan Qing reported via a video call.

Ever since he found out about Wen Xin’s identity, Yan Qing would always video call Wen Xin whenever he wanted to find her. He felt that it would be easier to explain things to her face to face.

Wen Xin, organizing files on her computer, turned to look at the video feed. “A mysterious organization? What do they do?”

The topic suddenly piqued Wen Xin’s curiosity. She had always felt that the data she had was already very powerful, but she did not expect that there would still be fish caught in the net.

“We’re not sure yet, but the elders are very interested in their offerings. They’ve already formed an alliance.”

Wen Xin’s brow furrowed. “Investigate further. I’ll have Moore look into it as well. I’ll let you know if I find anything.”

“One more thing, I need a decent gift for Grandma’s birthday. Can you handle it?”

“Sure, I’ll find something suitable from the upcoming black market auctions. I guarantee you’ll be satisfied,” Yan Qing assured her with a confident smile, which Wen Xin found exasperating. She promptly ended the call, considering refusing his future video requests.

After hanging up, Wen Xin sent her organized files to Zhao Honghan’s email. Within ten minutes, he called her.

“Uncle Zhao, did you see the documents I sent you?”

“Yes, I saw them. Are you sure about this, Wen Xin? You know the impact this could have on many families… are you certain?” Zhao Honghan, still shocked by the documents, questioned her decision. He did not know where Wen Xin had obtained this information, but he knew that if this were leaked, it would cause a massive shock to that person and the family behind him.
