Chapter 906 - 904: I'm cold-blooded and won't compromise for anyone

The closest to Mu Chengxi, Mu Bei, watched anxiously as he looked at Mu Chengxi, his eyes settling on Mu Chengxi’s injured arm.

Although it was just grazed by a bullet, one could still clearly see that Mu Chengxi’s arm was already a bloody mess.

“Master Xi… this…”

“It’s nothing.”

Mu Chengxi coldly cut off what Mu Bei was about to say, completely unconcerned about the wound on his own arm. Right now, his only concern was Wen Xin’s condition; he had underestimated Luo Qiete before.

If he had taken Luo Qiete’s strength seriously earlier, perhaps Luo Qiete wouldn’t have had the chance to reach Beijing, let alone the opportunity to take Wen Xin away. Everything was due to his negligence.

If Mu Chengxi had to use an adjective to describe his mood at that moment, it would be regret. He deeply regretted not focusing more on preventing Luo Qiete from entering Beijing, otherwise, so many things wouldn’t have happened.

The news of Mu Chengxi being attacked in P City quickly reached Luo Qiete’s ears. He could not believe that so many top assassins he had arranged couldn’t kill Mu Chengxi.

In his excitement, he also didn’t forget to look at Wen Xin, who was eating breakfast with an unperturbed face. He didn’t detect any emotional fluctuations from her, as if the matter they had just been discussing had nothing to do with her.

“It seems that you don’t like Mu Chengxi that much after all. Mu Chengxi is nearly killed by the guns of my men, and yet you can stay so calm, you’re really cold-blooded!”

“But… I like your cold-bloodedness. The less you feel for Mu Chengxi, the happier I am. Forget him quickly, and I promise to give you the best things and make you the happiest woman.”

Hearing Luo Qiete’s words, Wen Xin just emotionlessly ate her breakfast, giving Luo Qiete no response at all, just like an emotionless robot.

Getting no response to his words, Luo Qiete became annoyed. He stood up, walked over to Wen Xin, pulled her up from the chair, and enveloped her in his embrace, his large arms tightly wrapped around Wen Xin’s slender waist.

He looked down at Wen Xin, who kept her eyes downcast, not even glancing at him, leaving him feeling powerless.

“Can’t you give me any reaction? I’ve already untied you. What more do you want? Don’t you believe… believe that I could just devour you right now?”

Only after hearing Luo Qiete’s words did Wen Xin slowly react, gradually lifting her eyes, which were filled with loathing.

“I’d advise you not to touch me; your mother needs a second surgery in a month. If I’m gone by then, I think within your capacity, you won’t find a second person capable of performing the surgery.”

Wen Xin raised her hand to press against Luo Qiete’s chest, stepping back in an attempt to distance herself from Luo Qiete’s proximity.

“You’re threatening me?”

Luo Qiete hadn’t expected Wen Xin to still be waiting for him here. Even if he didn’t understand Wen Xin well, he knew her temperament and believed she would do as she said.

“Consider it a threat if you will. My arm is severely injured and hasn’t recovered yet. If you don’t want me to operate on your mother with one hand, I suggest you let me go.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Wen Xin spoke again in her icy voice. She couldn’t even bear to glance at Luo Qiete for more than necessary, not wanting to waste time with such a man.

Luo Qiete, upon hearing Wen Xin’s candid words, wasn’t upset but laughed instead. He felt that the reason he liked Wen Xin was probably because of her personality.

The moment he let go of Wen Xin, she swiftly stepped back, increasing the distance between her and Luo Qiete.

“I’m tired, I need a room to rest… Which room is prepared for me?”

Luo Qiete glanced at the butler behind him, signaling the butler to prepare a room for Wen Xin before speaking in an even tone.

“I’m very curious, aren’t you worried about Mu Chengxi at all? He’s about to die at the hands of my people… If you are willing to plead for Mu Chengxi and compromise with me, I might spare his life…”

Luo Qiete looked at Wen Xin with a hint of excitement; he was eagerly awaiting her to give in, and if Wen Xin dared to plead for Mu Chengxi, he would have the chance to have her sooner.

Seeing the look of complacency on Luo Qiete’s face, Wen Xin coldly snorted without showing any emotion.

“I am quite selfish, I will not make concessions for anyone, and especially not for you—I will never say any words of surrender!”

At this point, Wen Xin suddenly paused, and a hint of mockery surfaced in her originally dark and indifferent eyes.

“Wait until you can outfight Mu Chengxi, then talk. I hope when you get the news from P City, you can still be so confident.”

After Wen Xin finished speaking, Luo Qiete’s entire face darkened, her attitude completely outside his expectations.

It seemed that ever since he took Wen Xin away from the banquet scene, all her reactions had been beyond his predictions, her demeanor so indifferent that it made it impossible to grasp her thoughts.

This denied Luo Qiete any satisfaction of feeling victorious.

He had originally thought Wen Xin would make a scene, starve in protest, or even do something extreme.

But none of the scenarios he imagined ever took place; not only was Wen Xin not making a fuss, she was devoid of any emotion, eating properly when it was time to eat, and resting well when it was time to rest.

Her current state felt to Luo Qiete as if she were on vacation, unruffled and utterly relaxed.

Just then, the butler came down from upstairs, “Mr. Luo Qiete, Miss Wen’s room is ready…”

“The room is ready, I will go and rest now…” Wen Xin said, taking a step back from Luo Qiete and walking towards the butler.

In front of the butler, Wen Xin seemed even more relaxed, quietly discussing with the butler what to have for dinner…

Luo Qiete’s life was thrown into doubt once again by such behavior; he just couldn’t fathom Wen Xin.

Accompanied by the butler, Wen Xin entered a clean room, where the butler politely told her to inform him if there was anything she needed, promising to fulfill all her requests.

After offering a polite thank you, Wen Xin quickly shut the door. Leaning against it, she slowly slid to the floor.

In the dining room, when she heard the news that Mu Chengxi had been attacked, she nearly lost control of her emotions and exploded. She almost plunged her fork into Luo Qiete’s throat.

When Luo Qiete used force to take her from the Mu family, she was not so angry; she believed she had a chance to escape his control.

But hearing that he had laid hands on Mu Chengxi, she had only one thought: she wanted to kill him.
