A Big Shot’s Woman Is Wild and Fierce Chapter 689 – Have Our Feelings Faded?

Chapter 689: Chapter 688 Have Our Feelings Faded?
“`

Mu Chengxi circumvented Wen Xin’s request with evasion. It wasn’t that he begrudged giving Wen Xin a car; he just didn’t feel comfortable with her driving alone.

Wen Xin looked into Mu Chengxi’s eyes, suddenly put away her strong smile, and stood up, “I can afford one myself.”

The soft mutterings of Wen Xin caught Mu Chengxi’s attention. He suddenly stood up from his chair and pulled Wen Xin into his embrace.

“Pick any car from the garage, but I don’t feel comfortable with you driving alone.”

Mu Chengxi’s anxious movements were met with a faint smile from Wen Xin. She turned in his arms, lazily wrapped an arm around Mu Chengxi’s neck, and gave him a smug smile.

“No need for the car, I’ll just stay at school for the next few days and come back Friday evening.”

After speaking, Wen Xin tiptoed to give Mu Chengxi a light kiss on the corner of his lips, then walked away before he had the chance to say anything, heading in the direction of her room.

Watching Wen Xin’s retreating figure, Mu Chengxi smiled helplessly. He knew she was deliberately provoking him. By not agreeing to her terms, the young lady was punishing him in such a way.

But it was alright for her to stay at school, as he was a bit busy these days and probably wouldn’t have much time to accompany Wen Xin.

Wen Xin rode in Mu Chengxi’s car to the school gate, playing games with her head down the whole way, only pausing to answer a call from Diwu Qixian. For the remainder of the trip, she didn’t speak.

When Mu Chengxi’s car came to a stop, Wen Xin didn’t hurry to get out. She curled up in the passenger seat, looking at Mu Chengxi, feeling that something was off with him.

“Hey, something’s not quite right with you. If it were before, you would definitely not be happy about me not coming back to stay, but today you didn’t voice any objections, which can only mean something’s up with you. Have your feelings for me faded?”

Wen Xin’s question elicited a wry chuckle from Mu Chengxi. He lifted his hand from the steering wheel to grasp Wen Xin’s hand on her lap and pressed it against his chest.

“Whether my feelings for you have faded, don’t you know? Am I not trying hard enough, causing you to have some sort of misconception?”

Remembering what happened the previous night, Wen Xin’s makeup-free face instantly flushed red. She pushed against Mu Chengxi’s chest arrogantly, trying to pull her hand away from his grasp.

However, Mu Chengxi was reluctant to let go of Wen Xin’s hand.

“I haven’t decided yet. I am planning to go to F State the day after tomorrow for about a week, so I think it’s actually quite good that you’re staying at school.”

Mu Chengxi held Wen Xin’s hand to his lips and gently kissed it. “Wait for me to come back, be good.”

“Going to F State again? Wasn’t it said that Mu Dong is almost back? Why are you still heading there? Remember to be careful this time, bring some of Mu Bei, although Mu Bei isn’t that reliable…”

At this point, Wen Xin hesitated, as if she was making sure she didn’t misspeak.

“It seems Mu Bei isn’t that dependable either. Better bring some Liang Luoyu with you. Although he talks a bit too much, he’s still more useful than Mu Bei when it matters.”

Amused by Wen Xin’s dismissive tone towards Mu Bei, Mu Chengxi leaned closer and kissed her red lips, only releasing her after their breathing became difficult. He then sat back up.

“Don’t worry, what happened last time won’t happen again. This time I’m going with the Mu family’s team. I am planning to restructure Mu Group, and recently, we’ve decided to bring in a new project, developing chips.”

“`

Wen Xin was somewhat surprised to hear Mu Chengxi’s words; although she didn’t know what the Mu family was involved in, she was sure that their business had nothing to do with microchips.

One could even say that no one in the entire country was in the microchip business or running projects related to it because the Independent State had a monopoly on the development of that industry and market.

The only reason she could think of for Mu Chengxi’s actions was a direct challenge to the microchip industry of the Independent State; he was gearing up to take them head-on.

“Are you sure you want to get into the microchip business? Do you realize what you’ll be up against? You really don’t have to…”

“Why not? The moment I decided to do this, I had already considered what I would face. Those people, I’ve never taken them to heart.”

Mu Chengxi’s deep eyes seriously studied Wen Xin as he spoke to her, not to boast but to tell her, to make her believe he could do it.

Wen Xin lifted her hand, gently touching Mu Chengxi’s handsome face and pressing her forehead to his.

“Do whatever you want to do, don’t worry about the rest.”

Wen Xin didn’t finish her sentence. She wanted to say she would be there to support him, but she knew Mu Chengxi’s pride; he didn’t like the idea of hiding behind her.

“Mhm, I’m not worried about anything. The only thing I worry about is you. Take care of yourself.”

Mu Chengxi kissed Wen Xin reluctantly once more. He had wanted to discuss this matter with Wen Xin yesterday, but the situation with Jiang Linyan had prevented him from doing so.

He had thought the matter would remain on hold; little had he expected to bring it up under such circumstances. However, now that it was out in the open, he felt a great relief. He didn’t want Wen Xin to feel that he had kept secrets from her.

Just then, Wen Xin’s phone began to vibrate. She released Mu Chengxi, pulled her phone from her pocket, and glanced at the caller ID.

“There’s no time left. Qi Qian is calling me to class. Be safe, and call me when you can. I’ve got to go!”

Wen Xin grabbed her backpack and hurried out of the car, not looking back as she ran towards the school.

Mu Chengxi watched Wen Xin’s hurried departure with a helpless sigh. The girl had a heart of steel; not even a goodbye kiss was exchanged before she rushed off…

Wen Xin ran frantically into the Biological Sciences building, only to see a man in his fifties standing in the hallway. She assumed he was there to catch latecomers and intended to quickly greet him and dash into the classroom.

“Wen Xin?”

Hearing the man call her name, Wen Xin paused slightly, then stood up straight, her gaze cold as she looked at the smiling middle-aged man. Since she had been recognized, there was no point in avoiding further.

“Hello, I am Wen Xin.”

Hearing Wen Xin reveal her name, the middle-aged man scrutinized her, as if confirming something, then nodded in satisfaction.

“That’s right, yes, the resemblance is uncanny. You look just like your mother…”
