A Big Shot's Woman Is Wild and Fierce-Chapter 742 - 741: Dissatisfied with Wen Xin for reasons other than her shipping CPs
Chapter 742: Chapter 741: Dissatisfied with Wen Xin for reasons other than her shipping CPs
Wen Xin spoke to Muxi with a cool tone and then walked directly to the third vehicle Muxi had mentioned, opened the door, and got in the car.
After Wen Xin got in the car, Mu Bei also picked up his suitcase and walked to the side of the car. He threw the suitcase into the trunk and then took the passenger seat.
Once Wen Xin and Mu Bei were both seated in the car, all the people standing in the distance couldn’t help but look towards the direction of the vehicle where Wen Xin was.
One of the Hall Masters who had seen Wen Xin come before approached Muxi with confusion and asked, “What’s the deal with Miss Wen? Is she really going with us?”
Muxi looked towards the direction of Wen Xin’s car with a somewhat ugly expression and nodded reluctantly, “Didn’t she just say? She’s just going for fun and won’t be a bother to us!”
When he spoke of being a bother, Muxi deliberately emphasized those words, his tone brimming with unwillingness.
All the people couldn’t resist glancing at Muxi again, guessing how unwilling he was for Wen Xin to join them on the trip.
“Alright, you all need to be vigilant this time. Without Mu Dong with us, we have two extra useless people on the road, which means more danger. Everyone, pay more attention to safety along the way.”
In the chaotic F-Zone, although Mu Chengxi had become a dominant leader with his absolute strength, there were also many small forces trying to cause trouble, making many situations unpredictable…
Every important trade was taken very seriously, and this time they were even more cautious, with two major deals happening at once, inevitably adding more risk.
The caravan set off after everything was ready…
The terrain of the F-Zone was quite complex, with mountains and plains intersecting, surrounded by mountains on three sides and the sea on the other. Due to the geographical location, the forces in play were quite chaotic.
In the Southern Territory, Mu Chengxi had his own airfield and docks, used for important transactions. Along the way, there would always be forces with malicious intent causing disturbances.
In their eyes, completing this one deal would set them up for life.
After all the arrangements were made, the caravan departed on time. Along the way, Mu Bei, concerned that Wen Xin might be bored, specially prepared a high-capacity portable power bank to ensure her communication devices wouldn’t run out of charge.
“Miss Wen, this time they have two deals in the Southern Territory, one is a firearms deal with the 26th facility, and the other is a more mysterious transaction involving raw stones.”
Wen Xin sat lazily in the back seat, her coat draped over her, and the hat on her head pulled down low, completely obscuring her expression.
After Mu Bei finished speaking, he turned to look at Wen Xin, who remained motionless, realizing that she actually had no interest in the trades themselves. He promptly shut his mouth, choosing not to disturb Wen Xin’s rest.
The car had been driving for most of the day and stopped at a service area. Wen Xin stretched lazily in the car, looked at the landscape outside the window, saw mountains all around, quite a pleasing view, but with a sense of desolation added to it.
“Miss Wen, Muxi asked me to inquire if you need to use the restroom. Once we start driving again, we’ll probably have to wait until late at night to reach the rest area in the Southern Territory before we can stop…”
Mu Bei turned from the passenger seat, his voice gentle, reminding Wen Xin that she could get off the car to relieve herself, to avoid the problem of not being able to stop for bathroom breaks later on.
“Alright…”
Wen Xin replied languidly, carelessly flipping off the coat draped over her and stepping out of the car. She deliberately pulled her hat down over her head and walked directly into the service area, paying no attention to the glances thrown her way by the surrounding people.
Just as Wen Xin entered the service area restroom, a chill presence followed behind her. She felt as if someone was tracking her and deliberately slowed down her pace…
The moment Wen Xin stepped into the restroom, she heard a set of steady and forceful footsteps in the quiet surroundings, footsteps that were clearly following her.
Wen Xin abruptly turned around and saw Mu Xi standing coldly outside the restroom door.
“Indeed, Miss Wen certainly has guts. Were it any other girl, she probably would’ve been scared to tears by now, right?”
At this, Mu Xi let out a mocking laugh and then sharply glared at Wen Xin, “Miss Wen, you’re already scared just being in a service area restroom. When you get to the Southern Territory and face even more dangerous things… do you think you can still hold up?”
“I know that you insisted on traveling with us this time to prove to Master Xi that you’re not just a vase, but… you should know, as a woman, you could just stay comfortably in your own world. There’s no need for you to seek out hardship!”
“As Master Xi’s woman, I should respect you. However, I hope you don’t appear before me because I don’t need to indulge you. If you cause trouble for me, it’s your problem now!”
“You can still return with Mu Bei right now; don’t provoke trouble here. You’ve already affected our operation!”
By the end, Mu Xi’s words came through gritted teeth, as if he was ready to lay hands on Wen Xin and deal with her right there if she uttered a single word of protest… to remove this nuisance from Master Xi’s side.
Wen Xin nonchalantly took off the baseball cap from her head and placed it on a nearby locker, her gaze cold as she faintly smiled at Mu Xi.
“What? Can’t hold back anymore? I was just thinking in the car about how long you could last before showing your impatient side.”
“I didn’t expect you to lose your patience in just half a day; your endurance is lacking!”
“I know you look down on me, and it’s not just starting now. It began the moment you knew there was a woman like me by Mu Chengxi’s side; you’ve been looking down on me.”
“You think your Master Xi is like a god among men, not to be swayed by a woman in his emotions, actions, and various other affairs.”
“But don’t forget, your Master Xi is just a man, an ordinary man. No matter how strong he is, he needs a life.”
“In his life, there shouldn’t be only money and power… he needs someone to cherish him, understand him, take care of him…”
When she spoke of taking care of him, Wen Xin hesitated; thinking back now, it seemed that from the beginning, it had always been Mu Chengxi taking care of her rather than her taking care of Mu Chengxi…
“I don’t want to listen to your nonsense. Even if Master Xi needs a woman, it shouldn’t be a worthless woman like you! The one who should stand shoulder to shoulder with him should be a woman like Miss Jiang, or at the very least, someone like Miss Jiang!”
Finally, Wen Xin heard the crux of the matter from Mu Xi’s words. When he brought up Jiang Linyan, she instantly understood the point of Mu Xi’s discontent—it was because she wasn’t the ‘ship’ he wanted to sail. Now, this was getting interesting.
