Seeing Ou Shenzhi’s hurried departure, Mu Chengxi instantly realized whose blood was on the ground.

He briefly instructed Mu Bei, who was following behind him, and Mu Bei also hurried off.

Mu Chengxi, with Wen Xin, entered Ou Zhengfeng’s rest area, where Old Madam Mu, Old Mister Wei, and Mister Ling were all sitting. At this time, members of the four major families of the capital were present, and the decisions of these families could influence the development of the capital. “Why have you two come? Xin girl, come here, sit next to grandma.”

Before Wen Xin entered, the four major families were discussing matters related to the Independent State.

The Independent State was a support for these families at the beginning of their establishment, but as things became more complicated, they gradually distanced themselves from it.

Only the Wei family maintained close ties with the Independent State, but they ended up raising Wei Shisheng, who became a troublemaker.

Today, to their surprise, they encountered someone from the Independent State again, the chairman of the Independent State, not knowing who attracted Alfredo to the capital.

Although Wen Xin wanted to leave, she did not refuse the invitation of Old

Madam Mu and walked obediently to her side, politely calling her ‘Grandma’ before sitting down.

Old Madam Mu looked at Wen Xin fondly, holding her hand and introducing her.

“Xin girl, this is today’s birthday star, Old Ou, Chengxi’s mentor, who turned Chengxi into such a carefree person. If Chengxi bullies you in the future, not only can Grandma support you, but he can too.”

Wen Xin smiled lightly, not saying anything, as Mu Chengxi could not bear to bully her.

“Xin girl, this is Chengxi’s grandfather. When you have time, let Chengxi take you to visit his grandfather’s house more often. There are many treasures there!”

Old Madam Mu pointed to Old Master Wei, introducing him to Wen Xin.

Old Master Wei looked at Wen Xin with a kind smile. He had heard of this young lady before but had never met her. Seeing her impressive power on their first meeting, he admired her.

“Let Chengxi bring you to the Wei family for a meal sometime and properly introduce you to the Wei family.”

“Okay, when we have time, let him take me to have a meal with Grandpa.” Wen Xin responded softly, appearing somewhat cool but already very well-behaved.

“This is the head of the Ling family.”

“Miss Wen, I’ve heard a lot about you, and I want to thank you for taking care of Xuer. If it weren’t for you, Xuer’s life might have been derailed.”

Ling Qiaonan stood up and spoke to Wen Xin very politely.

Wen Xin had already made a name for herself in the Ling family, and many people wanted to meet her. However, due to Mu Chengxi’s relationship, they didn’t dare to disturb her carelessly.

After chatting briefly with the elders, Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi explained their purpose.

Hearing that the two were planning to leave, neither Ou Zhengfeng nor Old Madam Mu stopped them.

“Then you should head back soon. Be careful on the road.”

“Okay, Grandma, you should also go back early.” Knowing that Mu Chengxu was waiting outside for Old Madam Mu, Mu Chengxi had nothing to worry about and left with Wen Xin.

After Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi left, Old Madam Mu watched Wen Xin’s departing figure with a meaningful smile in her eyes, as if she had seen through something but chose not to say it out loud.

On the way home, Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi sat in the back seat of the car driven by Mu Bei, with Liang Luoyu sitting in the passenger seat, seemingly busy messaging someone.

After dropping off Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi at their residence, Liang Luoyu and Mu Bei didn’t get out of the car but drove away from the neighborhood immediately.

Wen Xin, watching the car drive away, curiously raised her head to look at Mu Chengxi.

“Do they have something going on tonight?”

“They are heading to Continent F. Let’s go upstairs; it’s cold outside.” Mu Chengxi, holding Wen Xin’s hand, wrapped his arm around her and walked towards the elevator.

Back home, Wen Xin went to take a shower first, and Mu Chengxi ordered some takeout. Then, he took a set of home clothes from the wardrobe and went to the guest room to take a shower.

When Wen Xin came out after her shower, Mu Chengxi was already lazily sitting on the sofa, scrolling through his phone, tapping away at the screen, and responding to someone’s messages.

Seeing Wen Xin come out, Mu Chengxi sat up, inviting Wen Xin to sit next to him, wrapping his arm around her naturally.

“We haven’t eaten much tonight. I ordered some takeout. Let’s rest after we’re full.”

Since Wen Xin started consulting Zhuge Jingming about her health, Mu Chengxi has been particularly attentive to her meals, never letting her miss a meal and go hungry.

Wen Xin noticed the calmness on Mu Chengxi’s face, knowing his heart was anything but calm. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have had Liang Luoyu and Mu Bei leave the capital for Continent F in such a hurry.

“Aren’t you curious about my relationship with the Independent State?” Wen Xin sat up from Mu Chengxi’s embrace, resting her chin on his knee, her bright eyes fixed on his deep ones.

Mu Chengxi lifted his hand to rub Wen Xin’s head, sliding down to her ear and gently pinching her earlobe.

“I’ll listen when you’re ready to talk. I won’t force you to do anything you’re unwilling to.”

Mu Chengxi provided Wen Xin with enough security and space. For him, nothing was more important than Wen Xin’s presence by his side; everything else was secondary.

Seeing Mu Chengxi’s indulgence, Wen Xin sat up straight, her gaze serious as she looked at him.

“My parents were from the Independent State. They left because my mother was pregnant and targeted for assassination. Leaving meant escaping the Independent State’s control, but from the age of three, I’ve been shuttling between the Independent State and the capital.”

“My father’s family is a major clan in the Independent State, holding absolute control. But he never wanted that power, always rejecting it until his death, never escaping the Independent State’s grasp.”

“Before his death, to avoid managing Independent State affairs and ensure no manipulation by others, he established a council to oppose the Elder Council… And Alfredo’s father was the former chairman.

“Years have passed, the elders’ ambitions have grown, and the council members have gradually been brainwashed. The current Independent State is even more complex than in my father’s time. I don’t want to take over this mess, so I’ve always wanted to dissociate myself from the Independent State, but it seems they’re not willing to let me go.”

Wen Xin’s eyes turned complex as she spoke. She wouldn’t return to the

Independent State without resolving her parents’ issues.

She wouldn’t let herself become a tool for their gain unless she dealt with those people.

“Is there no one else in your father’s family? Why can’t you give it away if you don’t want power?”

Mu Chengxi looked at Wen Xin, unable to comprehend the system of the

Independent State..
