Chapter 802: Chapter 801 Master Xi’s Fury Incites His Personal Intervention
Alfredo frowned as he looked at Wen Xin. He glanced around, seeing only one car nearby, and it appeared that there were no other people in it.
“Wen Xin, squatting on the curb in the middle of the night by yourself, where is Mu Chengxi?”
Alfredo hadn’t listened to a word Wen Xin had just said; his mind was preoccupied with why Wen Xin was alone here, eating that messy stuff.
“What do you want him for? Is there something wrong?” Wen Xin’s gaze was indifferent as she looked at Alfredo, somewhat speechless about where his concern lay, not understanding why she should seek out Mu Chengxi.
“You…” Alfredo was choked with anger as he watched Wen Xin still defending Mu Chengxi at this time. His little princess was here alone, and it just broke his heart to see it.
After taking a deep breath, Alfredo exhaled slowly to calm the fury in his heart.
“He let you gnaw on that dark, unsightly thing by the roadside in the middle of the night, don’t you feel wronged? How about you come back to Independent State with me? I’ll take care of those people in Independent State so they won’t affect your mood. All you have to do is stay by my side, and I will…”
Before Alfredo could finish, Wen Xin put her finger to her lips, gestured for him to be silent, and stopped him from speaking further.
“I’m here specifically to wait for you. Weren’t you looking for me? I wanted to see exactly why you came to Beijing, that’s all.”
“As for that dark, unsightly thing, I’ve already said many times, it’s delicious. If you haven’t tried it, then don’t talk!”
“Also, can you now tell me the purpose of your coming here? Why did you come to Beijing?”
Wen Xin crossed her arms over her chest, leaning lazily against a utility pole by the roadside, her expression on her face casual, but her eyes held a deterrent that did not give Alfredo an opportunity to refuse to speak.
Perhaps intimidated by Wen Xin’s aura, Alfredo hesitated for a moment but finally chose to speak the truth.
“It was the Old Fox who asked me to come and support Wen Yunuo. I was also…”
“The Old Fox asked you to come? Hah, that’s really laughable. You, as the Chairman of Independent State, ordered around by the Old Fox, aren’t you ashamed?”
“What did the Old Fox promise you this time?”
Eventually, Alfredo’s actions made Wen Xin burst into laughter, confirming once more that she hadn’t misjudged him; indeed, he was someone unreliable.
“Wen Xin, listen to me. My coming here wasn’t entirely because of the Old Fox. I was…”
“You don’t need to explain it to me. I just want to know what the Old Fox promised you, for you to deign to do such demeaning tasks willingly.”
Wen Xin didn’t want to hear any superfluous explanations; she just wanted to know what terms Alfredo had discussed with the Old Fox. This feeling of being treated as a bargaining chip was repellent to Wen Xin.
“He promised me that no matter the circumstances, he wouldn’t harm you, and that he would even find a way to make you marry me…”
Alfredo, with his head bowed, didn’t dare to look into Wen Xin’s eyes. He had already seen the disdain in them; he knew that what Wen Xin despised the most was betrayal.
As soon as Alfredo’s words finished, Wen Xin raised her hand and grabbed Alfredo’s collar, his eyes widening in astonishment. He had not anticipated Wen Xin moving so quickly to be right in front of him.
“You’ve been praying to the wrong god! You think the Old Fox can control me?”
Wen Xin tightened his grip on Alfredo’s hand unconsciously, his collar choking him so much he could hardly breathe.
“I can tell you frankly now, no matter what the future holds, I will never marry you, so you might as well put away your unrealistic fantasies!”
“Also, no matter what happens in the future, I will definitely stand against the Old Fox. There’s too much bad blood between us; we can never be a family again. So you’d better choose your side wisely. I don’t want to end up cleaning you up too!”
“One last thing, remember this: Although I don’t call the shots in Beijing, here, you have no right to speak. I advise you to hurry back to Independent State and stop bothering me here!”
Wen Xin let go of Alfredo’s collar indifferently. For a moment just then, Alfredo thought he would die at Wen Xin’s hands.
Actually, if he could die at Wen Xin’s hands, he felt that would be a kind of happiness, much better than her ignoring him.
“You’ll roll back to Independent State tomorrow, you hear me?”
“I won’t. I still have unfinished business. The Jiang family’s banquet is tomorrow. Little princess, is your dress ready? Would you like someone to prepare a gown for you?”
After calming his breath, Alfredo was still nonchalant as ever, his natural nobility showing as he started discussing the matter of the dress with Wen Xin, as if he had taken none of her words to heart.
Wen Xin looked at Alfredo, whose shamelessness seemed to know no bounds. A chilling murderous intent flickered in her cold eyes, both indifferent and fierce.
“A dress…”
“Scram… Next time we meet, let’s pretend we don’t know each other. You have no business meddling in my affairs.”
Wen Xin didn’t wait for Alfredo to finish speaking and interrupted him directly, speaking coldly before she turned and left.
However, Wen Xin had not walked far when Alfredo seized her arm. Suddenly, Alfredo was struck by an idea: to take Wen Xin back to Independent State. Even if she tore Independent State apart, he wouldn’t give Wen Xin the chance to leave.
“I’m taking you back to Independent State. I can’t tolerate you being with Mu Chengxi any longer. Do you know how my heart breaks every time I see you with him?”
“Yes, I have lost all inhibition, all reason. I am the Chairman of Independent State, but for the sake of calling you mine, I’d rather cooperate with the Old Fox. Because I know, if I let this opportunity pass, I will not see you.”
“Wen Xin, you’ve nearly driven me mad. Just go back with me, and I promise not to meddle in Beijing’s affairs anymore. Everything in Independent State can be as you wish, even if that means getting rid of the Elders Guild and the Wen family, I am willing…”
As Alfredo was pulling Wen Xin into his embrace, his other arm hadn’t yet touched her when it was seized by a cold, firm hand. He heard a “crack” and immediately felt a sharp pain in his arm.
Mu Chengxi wrapped his arms around Wen Xin’s waist, pulling her into his chest, and kicked Alfredo savagely in the chest with his raised leg.
By then, Alfredo had reacted. Clutching his broken arm, he dodged Mu Chengxi’s kick with ease.
Whether it was the pain or the pent-up resentment inside him, Alfredo’s eyes turned bloodshot. Ignoring the pain in his arm, he charged directly at Mu Chengxi.
Just then, Mu Chengxi gently pushed Wen Xin away, pushing her towards Mu Bei who had rushed over, and met Alfredo’s charge head-on. The two of them started to fight ruthlessly.
