Chapter 917: Chapter 915: I Only Have Admiration for My Wife
 

When he saw the extent of the devastation at the base, he felt there was absolutely no need to waste time dealing with the aftermath.

“Luo Qiete died in the explosion then, his body has been found, and it has been confirmed to be Luo Qiete, as for the Orang Organization, there probably aren’t many of them left now…”

When Mu Chengxi heard Muxi’s words, he was slightly taken aback and looked up at Barry sitting in the corner.

At that moment, Barry seemed to have noticed Mu Chengxi’s gaze as well, he turned his head toward Mu Chengxi and nodded slightly.

With a definite answer obtained, Mu Chengxi was not too surprised, retracted his gaze, and looked at Xiao Mi, “Have you investigated? Does this matter have anything to do with Independent State?”

Upon hearing Mu Chengxi mention Independent State, Xiao Mi suddenly lifted her head and shook it.

“We haven’t had time to investigate whether this matter is related to Independent State, but what’s certain is that the power of Independent State has always wanted to woo Luo Qiete. The Old Fox was interested in Luo Qiete’s influence in P City, but they never closed the deal.”

As Xiao Mi finished speaking, a door-opening sound came from upstairs, and Wen Xin came down dressed in the clothes Xiao Mi had prepared, appearing somewhat languid, looking not much different from before.

When everyone saw Wen Xin, they all stood up, greeting her very respectfully and politely.

“Miss Wen.”

Wen Xin looked at Mu Dong, Muxi, and Mu Nan who greeted her, she lightly raised her eyebrows, not at all surprised by their appearance, which seemed to be within expectations.

After responding indifferently, Wen Xin walked over to Mu Chengxi’s side and sat down next to him; Mu Chengxi gently wrapped his arms around her.

“Why did you wake up after sleeping for just a short while? Are there any uncomfortable places in your body?”

“Nothing much, just a bit tired, I am hungry.”

Since the dinner began that night, Wen Xin had only eaten a meal at Luo Qiete’s house, and now she was so hungry she couldn’t sleep, so she simply got up to wash up and eat something.

Mu Chengxi looked at Wen Xin with a tender and pampering smile, lifted his head, and looked at Xiao Mi, “Is there some food prepared?”

“The kitchen has been ready for a while, and no one had eaten yet. Let’s go eat, and after eating, we can prepare to return to Beijing.”

Xiao Mi somewhat avoided Wen Xin’s gaze, worried that now Wen Xin was well again, she would ask about her affairs in S City, and she was anxious about how she would explain these matters.

These issues were too complex, and she was somewhat unsure how to start explaining them.

As she spoke, Xiao Mi stood up, her gaze somewhat evasive, and ran toward the dining area.

Mu Chengxi watched Xiao Mi’s actions and smiled gently, turning his head to look at Wen Xin, “Xiao Mi’s guilty appearance is somewhat similar to yours…”

Listening to Mu Chengxi’s deep voice, Wen Xin lowered her head and slightly curled her lips, but she quickly realized that he was mocking her.

Wen Xin slowly lifted her head, her gaze coldly fixating on Mu Chengxi, and she raised her eyebrows at him, “Mr. Mu, what do you mean by that? I always feel there’s more to your words…”

Mu Chengxi looked at Wen Xin with a doting smile, stretched out his hand to wrap around her waist, and pulled her into his embrace, then leaned down to kiss the corner of Wen Xin’s lips.

“I did not, I only have admiration for my wife, there’s absolutely no other intention!”

Mu Chengxi held Wen Xin tightly in his arms. After going through this incident, he felt that only by holding Wen Xin tightly could he calm down.

The people in the dining room looked at the two people hugging each other tightly in the living room, their brows unconsciously furrowing.

“I really didn’t expect Master Drunk to have such a side, it’s truly incomprehensible!” Barry crossed his arms in front of his chest, showing a face eager for the drama, completely unable to accept that their Master Drunk could also be like this.

“Who would have thought, right? Unless I saw it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t believe that our Master Xi could have such a side, who would dare believe it.”

Mu Dong sat on the chair and spoke lightly, turning his head to look at his brothers sitting beside him, seeking their agreement.

Muxi didn’t look toward Mu Chengxi, but stared blankly at Xiao Mi, his thoughts in disarray, unable to comprehend how the pitiful creature he had brought back to the base had such strength.

After everyone had eaten, Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi discussed with Mu Dong and a few others about Luo Qiete’s escape from their grasp, suspecting someone had helped from behind, allowing Luo Qiete the chance to escape.

They were now eager to find out who helped Luo Qiete and wanted to catch the person who leaked their plans.

Having no part in it, Muxi walked outside, where he sat down in a small garden outside the villa.

He surveyed the surroundings, feeling an inexplicable irritation; he still couldn’t understand how Xiao Mi had transformed so dramatically.

Xiao Mi came out of the villa and saw Mu Xi sitting alone in the small garden. She walked over and sat down beside him.

“What’s wrong? They’re all discussing matters in the room, why are you out here alone?”

Mu Xi turned his head to look at Xiao Mi and chuckled helplessly. “I thought my experiences had made me strong enough to see through a person, but I never expected the pitiful creature I pictured to have such capabilities.”

A look of helplessness in his eyes, he stared at Xiao Mi’s estate, still unable to accept this reality.

Xiao Mi, seeing how deeply affected Mu Xi was, chuckled softly, raised her hand, and gently patted his shoulder.

“Actually, I’m very grateful for your care, for saving me when I felt utterly hopeless. If it weren’t for you, I might have been dead by now.”

Hearing Xiao Mi’s words, Mu Xi merely gave a cold laugh, finding her words absurd. To be lost in despair was simply a betrayal of his feelings.

“Do you know that what you’re doing is deceit? Deceiving my feelings. Do you think I look ridiculous when you face me?”

Mu Xi’s emotions were somewhat out of control, and in an instant, he just couldn’t accept the reality. He felt mocked and deceived.

As he spoke, Mu Xi shook off Xiao Mi’s hand from his shoulder and abruptly stood up from the bench, not wanting to say another word to Xiao Mi.

Xiao Mi looked at her stiff hand, still hanging in the air, and chuckled helplessly, shaking her head.

“Is it that whatever I say, you will not believe? Even if I explain, do you think I’m deceiving you? But I really never thought of deceiving you!”
