A Big Shot's Woman Is Wild and Fierce

Chapter 900: Chapter 898: What? Are you not happy about setting the wedding date?
 

Some saw it as an opportunity to mingle with the high officials and nobility, embarking on their social journeys.

Others were there just to watch the excitement unfold, unable to contain their impatience after not seeing what they had hoped to witness for so long…

“Hey, didn’t you say the Jiang family would bring trouble? Why haven’t they shown up yet? I’ve been looking for a while and it seems like there’s no one from the Jiang family…”

Mu Jingang’s wife stood beside Mu Jinrou, her voice filled with anticipation, questioning. They were so eager to see a spectacle unfold but had waited in vain for so long, it was truly… truly frustrating.

“No idea, when I was on my way here, I clearly saw Old Jiang, but for some reason he’s disappeared now. I even tried to look for him just now, but I didn’t find him!”

Mu Jinrou’s tone was also anxious. She had wanted to see a grand spectacle, but why was it different from what she had imagined? Not seeing anything at all was too frustrating, wasn’t it?

Mu Jingang’s wife looked at Mu Jinrou and gently nudged her shoulder, “Your objective is quite clear, why don’t you go and see what’s going on.”

Urged by Mu Jingang’s wife, Mu Jinrou could no longer suppress her excitement. She answered softly and then left the venue to search for Old Jiang.

Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi left the venue and headed to Old Madam Mu’s resting room. On the way, Mu Chengxi suddenly thought of Alfredo’s departure and unconsciously tightened his grip on Wen Xin’s hand.

“How did Alfredo come? Why did he leave all of a sudden?”

Wen Xin turned her head to look at Mu Chengxi, with not much surprise in her eyes, just a slight raise of her eyebrows and a soft smile.

“You’re quite patient, aren’t you? I thought you would ask me about this as soon as you entered the room, but it took you so long to remember to ask.”

“It’s not that no capable person exists, but I was dazzled by your beauty and forgot all about it. But now that I remember, what exactly happened?”

Mu Chengxi looked at Wen Xin’s cute little face and wanted to kiss her right there, but alas, her makeup today was too beautiful, and he didn’t want to ruin it, so he restrained himself from acting on his impulse.

Wen Xin looked into Mu Chengxi’s deep black eyes, smiled faintly, and began to explain in a soft voice.

“I had no intention of hiding our engagement from anyone, so I deliberately let the news out. Naturally, the people in the Independent State were bound to get wind of it.”

“What surprised me, though, was that the Old Fox didn’t arrange for someone to make trouble, and Alfredo only came to give a gift and his best wishes, both of which I have not accepted!”

When it came to the gift, Mu Chengxi paused slightly, thinking about the item Alfredo had given him upon leaving.

“That… He gave the gift to me, and he left before I had a chance to refuse… He only mentioned that it would be useful to you, and I didn’t think much of it…”

As he spoke about it, Mu Chengxi suddenly felt awkward; he hadn’t expected that what Alfredo had left behind was something Wen Xin had refused to accept. This made things… somewhat awkward!

Wen Xin saw the embarrassed expression on Mu Chengxi’s face, smiled softly, and her expression also seemed rather indifferent.

“It’s fine, just take it for now and see what it is before giving it back to him. Let’s not talk about him anymore. Let’s go see Grandma first. I heard Grandfather also came over today, and his recent interactions with Independent State have been quite frequent.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Wen Xin reminded Mu Chengxi in the safest tone possible. They had to be wary of anyone who might pose a danger to Old Madam Mu, even if that person was Mu Chengxi’s own grandfather.

Wen Xin’s words reminded Mu Chengxi, and he unconsciously quickened his pace as he held onto her.

When they entered the lounge, it was filled with the crème de la crème of Beijing, except for the Jiang family, it seemed that everyone was present.

“We were just talking about the two of you, and here you are. Your grandma said that your union makes her the happiest. Little Wen Xin, have you two decided when to get married yet?”

“If you haven’t decided, I’ve actually picked out a good date for you. You got engaged on your birthday, so you might as well get married when Mu Chengxi does. The sixth day of June is a very suitable date.”

Old Mr. Ou couldn’t help but urge the couple on as he looked at them walk in; he was just too eager to witness their wedding and, more so, to see a baby from the two of them.

Wen Xin listened to Old Mr. Ou’s words and quietly calculated the time. More than half a year was enough for her to handle the affairs of Independent State, and then she could marry Mu Chengxi without any worries.

Thinking this way, Wen Xin also felt that it would be a pretty good thing.

“That works. If Grandma has no objections, we’ll follow Old Mr. Ou’s arrangement. Old Mr. Ou is Mu Chengxi’s mentor, so naturally, we should listen to him,” Wen Xin readily agreed to Old Mr. Ou’s suggestion, which took Mu Chengxi by surprise.

Mu Chengxi looked at Wen Xin with a hint of astonishment, as he had always thought that Wen Xin was still young, and he could wait a little longer before marrying her.

“What’s the matter? You don’t seem very happy.”

After not getting a response from Mu Chengxi for a long time, Wen Xin turned her head and saw him staring at her in shock, so she jokingly asked.

“How could that be? The thought of you agreeing to marry me is something I could wake up smiling about in my dreams. Of course, I want to get married! I just didn’t expect you to agree so quickly!”

Mu Chengxi gently wrapped his arm around Wen Xin’s shoulders as they sat down on the sofa next to Old Madam, and he turned his head to see Wei Yi watching them.

“How has grandfather’s recovery been going abroad recently? I was too busy before and didn’t get a chance to care for grandfather much. However, I’ve contacted my uncle a few times during this period, and I heard from him that Grandfather’s health isn’t too bad and sometimes he even goes out for trips. I wonder where he has been?”

Mu Chengxi’s tone was very polite, but those in the know could hear the underlying message in his words. It was unexpected that the relationship between Mu Chengxi and Wei’s elder was so tense that they were already testing each other.

Wei Yi looked into Mu Chengxi’s eyes and snorted coldly. He understood perfectly well what Mu Chengxi was implying, but instead of playing along, he sarcastically retorted.

“I don’t know what you’re so busy with every day; the Mu Group slipped through your fingers, and here you are, still having the nerve to say you’re busy. Are you busy like this? You’re not even as accomplished as your sister; at least she has her own career!”

“And you? All these years and you’ve only managed to earn the title of Dissolute Crown Prince of Beijing! To say it out loud is an insult to your grandfather’s reputation, and it wastes Old Mr. Ou’s earnest teaching.”
