“If you listen to Auntie, just compromise a bit. When you gain control of Independent State, you can do whatever you want. Maybe Alfredo is a more suitable person for you than Mu Chengxi?”

In Wen Zhimo’s eyes, perhaps only Alfredo could protect Wen Xin from harm.

Everything she did was about hoping that Wen Xin wouldn’t repeat the mistakes of her parents.

After listening to Wen Zhimo’s words, Wen Xin suddenly laughed. She turned her head, her dark eyes looking very serious as she gazed at Wen Zhimo.

“Auntie, you grew up in Independent State, and you understand the power hierarchy of Independent State better than I do. Just because I become the executive director of Independent State doesn’t mean I can control the power of Independent State. Those elders won’t allow their power to be taken away by anyone.”

“If the CEO of Independent State really has absolute control, would my father secretly take my mother to Beijing when he found out she was pregnant?” “Later, my father held two major research institutes and had research data second only to that of the Independent State Research Institute. But what happened? He still died at the hands of those people’s schemes.”

“Auntie, Independent State is a wolf’s lair. I won’t become the puppet they want. I won’t compromise with them in any way. Until I have control over everything, I won’t return to Independent State!”

“As for Alfredo, he… he is indeed very good to me, but in front of power, he cannot give up everything for me. He will weigh the pros and cons in my matters.”

“But Mu Chengxi won’t. Mu Chengxi will give up everything for me. Similarly, I won’t let him lose.”

After Wen Xin finished speaking, the car stopped outside a mansion. Wen Xin looked at the mansion, her eyes somewhat complicated.

In a place like Beijing, where land was precious, having such a magnificent mansion could also show how great the owner of this mansion was.

“You, the Little Master, haven’t come back for so long. Go home and take a look. Butler Wen has always been thinking of you. If you can come back, he’ll be very happy.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Wen Xin sat in the car without moving. She just quietly looked at the mansion in the distance. Everything in the mansion hadn’t changed, exactly the same as her memory of home.

However, things have changed. She was no longer the innocent and mischievous little girl from before. The loving couple and the parents who loved her had long gone to heaven.

“Madam Ma…” The butler saw Wen Zhimo’s car stop outside the mansion’s gate, but Wen Zhimo didn’t get out of the car. He hurried over, not knowing what had happened.

When the butler saw Wen Xin, who looked exactly like the late Madam and

Wen Huai, he became extremely excited.

“Miss… Miss… Mrs. Ma… Is this… Is this the Young Miss?!”

Wen Xin looked at the butler, whose emotions were surging, and opened the car door. She got out of the car and spoke with a calm and cold voice, “Butler Wen.”

“It’s really Yong Miss, it’s really Young Miss! Miss, you’ve finally come back…”

The butler looked at Wen Xin, tears streaming down his face. He knew that

Young Miss had always been alive, but she had never returned. Now, finally, she had come back.

Wen Xin stood still, silent. She looked at the butler’s excited emotions and didn’t know what to say. She felt a little sour in her heart.

“Let’s go, go inside and take a look.” Wen Zhimo patted Wen Xin’s shoulder, walking in front of Wen Xin and leading her into the mansion.

More than ten years had passed, and the courtyard of the mansion had not changed much. The small golf course her father liked was still there, her mother’s favorite glass greenhouse was still there, and the swing she used to play on as a child was still there.

Walking past the swimming pool, through the corridors, and past the glass greenhouse where the family often sat together to watch the stars, memories flashed through Wen Xin’s mind.

“Eldest Miss, you’ve finally come back. The decorations and furnishings in the house are exactly the same as when Madam was here, unchanged. We were afraid you might not adapt when you returned.”

“You don’t live here?” Wen Xin listened to the butler’s words, looking puzzled as she glanced at Wen Zhimo walking beside her.

Wen Zhimo naturally noticed Wen Xin’s surprise. She shook her head lightly and said, “No, this house is managed by Butler Wen and some servants. Ma

Wenyuan and I, along with your younger siblings, live in another estate nearby. Don’t you remember? When I came to see you back then, your father also bought this piece of land and built another estate for me?”

Wen Xin had no memory of what Wen Zhimo said. She only met Wen Zhimo during her special training on Independent State and didn’t know much about her before that.

Entering the living room, it felt somewhat cold, probably because there was no one living there.

“Miss, your room is still the same as before. Now that you’ve come back, let me know if you need any changes. I’ll arrange for decorators to renovate your room. Little Master’s room has already been renovated.”

The butler looked at Wen Xin, who sat down in the living room, his excitement causing his words to be somewhat incoherent. He was extremely happy that Wen Xin had finally returned.

Wen Xin looked at the butler, instinctively wanting to refuse. Wen Zhimo also understood her meaning and spoke gently, “This is your home, the only place with traces of your parents. Don’t think about refusing. Make time to come back often. Since you don’t plan to go back to that place, you can’t abandon this place either, right?”

Wen Zhimo’s words made Wen Xin silent for a moment. Then she said calmly, “Then just renovate it in the current style. I don’t need a princess room; a simple style will do.”

Wen Xin had no princess sentiments, and she didn’t fancy those pink and tender things. She even felt a little scared of them, so there was no need to bother herself with them.

“Okay, I’ll arrange it later. Miss, it’s almost lunchtime. What would you like to

“I want to eat…”

The scene of the butler asking what she wanted to eat reminded Wen Xin of when she was five years old, hiding in her parents’ study to read. The butler tracked her upstairs, asking kindly and patiently what she wanted to eat.

“Let’s have chestnut duck and a serving of stewed lamb chops. I’ve been away for so many years, I’ve never dared to eat these things outside.”

Chestnut duck was her father’s favorite, and stewed lamb chops were her mother’s favorite. As a child, she couldn’t eat these things because of her poor teeth. Now, she wanted to taste what her parents loved.

After hearing Wen Xin’s choice of dishes, the butler’s emotions, which had just stabilized, became excited again. He wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes and said, “I’ll go and have the kitchen prepare now…”

After the butler left, Wen Zhimo picked up a cup of tea from the coffee table and took a sip, looking at Wen Xin with gentle eyes.

“Since you’re unwilling to go back to Independent State and your uncle said you’re going to the physics department at Beijing University, then take over the research institute. With the research institute and the support of the Mu family, you should be able to be safe..”
