Chapter 928: Chapter 926: The Ultimate Doting Allows Her to Have Her Way
Qian Meng not only wasn’t upset with Wen Xin’s actions, but he was extremely excited to take the chips she handed over.
“Starting today, if Miss Wen has any requests, just say the word, and I’ll do my best as a little brother.”
With that, Qian Meng put the chips Wen Xin gave him into his pocket, looking absolutely thrilled.
Standing aside, Mu Chengxi looked at Wen Xin with an indulgent smile, “It looks like I won’t need to sit at the mahjong table anymore, you’re up.”
Wen Xin raised an eyebrow, the corners of her slightly upturned eyes naughty yet lazy.
Everyone else, looking at the two big shots, felt like they should scram and not disturb their world for two.
At that moment, a servant came over, “Young master, lunch is ready.”
Mu Chengxi responded and whispered to Wen Xin, “We’ll go for lunch after finishing this hand.”
No sooner had he finished speaking than Wen Xin drew a tile and knocked down the only remaining four on the table, “Self-draw with two ‘kangs’, I win again. Thanks.”
Watching Wen Xin’s action, the three other people at the table couldn’t help but twitch at the corners of their eyes. Was this young lady too terrifying? She was ruthless in her teachings.
After eating, the group sat chatting, and Qian Meng still couldn’t figure out why Wen Xin was so skilled; it was as if she knew what cards everyone held, and that was especially frightening.
He turned his head and curiously asked Wen Xin, “Hey, boss, can you tell me why you play so well, huh?”
Hearing Qian Meng’s question, Wen Xin sat crookedly on the sofa, glanced at him, shifted to a more comfortable position, and spoke languidly.
“There are only so many cards. Watch what everyone plays and you’ll know what’s in hand, you just have to guess a bit.”
Hearing Wen Xin’s answer, the others gasped and looked at her in disbelief. Could Wen Xin’s memory really be so good?
Qian Meng, having heard Wen Xin’s reply, instantly felt like saying nothing more. He was completely convinced by his loss.
The group spent a while in the living room, then someone bid farewell to Mu Chengxi, and the rest, feeling no more amusement, left together.
Finally, only Qian Meng, Ling Yichen, Gu Yanzhe, and Liang Luoyu remained in the living room. Even Yuan Junye had left with the others.
Liang Luoyu watched Qian Meng lounging on the sofa with a slight frown, quite puzzled as to why Qian Meng was still sitting there. Given his previous relationship with Mu Chengxi, didn’t he feel awkward?
“Hey, Qian Meng, why aren’t you leaving? Don’t think that Master Xi is no longer holding a grudge over past events and start thinking you’re one of us. Why so thick-skinned?”
Liang Luoyu’s previous arrogance was on full display. He hadn’t been in Beijing for a long time and wasn’t very aware of the recent events, but his dislike for Qian Meng hadn’t changed.
Qian Meng looked at Liang Luoyu with a faint smile, showing no offense. He turned his head towards Wen Xin.
“Little princess, I have something to discuss with you. Can we step aside and talk?”
Qian Meng hadn’t actually come over to join the commotion. He had come to discuss matters concerning the Independent State with Wen Xin today. However, he had stumbled upon such an interesting event and naturally wanted to join in, so he stayed around to play with these people for a while.
“Hey, who are you calling ‘little princess’? Do you have any manners? Do you have any idea…”
Liang Luoyu felt that Qian Meng’s way of addressing Wen Xin was really impolite. The cheesy nickname ‘little princess’ could actually come out of his mouth; wasn’t he afraid of Master Xi taking him to task?
Liang Luoyu wanted to say something else when he saw Wen Xin put away her phone and tuck it back into her pocket, standing up and addressing Qian Meng, “Come upstairs to the study with me.”
With that, Wen Xin stood and walked upstairs, and Qian Meng followed her eagerly, trotting behind her up the stairs.
Liang Luoyu could hardly believe the scene before him and stood up excitedly, pointing in the direction where Wen Xin and Qian Meng had left.
“Master Xi… they, don’t you care?”n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Gu Yanzhe glanced at the excited Liang Luoyu, then stood up, grasping Liang Luoyu’s hand that was pointing in Wen Xin’s direction, and pulled it down.
“You haven’t been in Beijing for a while, there are some things you don’t know. In any case, Qian Meng isn’t an outsider. He is Miss Wen’s man, and from now on, we’re all one family, so you should live in harmony. This alienating attitude of yours isn’t good.”
Gu Yanzhe knew the ins and outs, but he couldn’t explain them to Liang Luoyu right now, so all he could do was try to calm Liang Luoyu’s mood as much as possible and make him accept the situation.
Liang Luoyu was somewhat in disbelief that Gu Yanzhe would say such a thing. He looked towards Mu Chengxi to confirm Gu Yanzhe’s words.
Mu Chengxi lifted his eyes just in time to meet Liang Luoyu’s, and casually picked up the cigarette case on the table, lit a cigarette, took a drag, his eyebrows raising slightly, and nodded towards Liang Luoyu.
“Gu Yanzhe is right. Qian Meng is from the ancient martial arts family. The innate mission of the ancient martial arts family is to protect the Monarch of the Independent State. Wen Xin happens to be this generation’s Monarch of the Independent State, so naturally, Qian Meng has become Wen Xin’s follower. From now on, we’re all one of our own.”
Mu Chengxi patiently explained to Liang Luoyu, and in doing so, also to Ling Yichen. Both were quite influential in his circle, and clarifying things was also a way to avoid any future misunderstandings.
After hearing Mu Chengxi’s explanation, Liang Luoyu was still somewhat in disbelief. He knew about Wen Xin’s identity but had not expected there to be any connection with Qian Meng, which truly surprised him.
“Master Xi, this… I will pay attention to my attitude in the future…” Although Liang Luoyu still didn’t much like Qian Meng, they were brothers from the same family, and he would try to overcome it.
Qian Meng and Wen Xin walked into the study. Qian Meng took out a USB drive from his pocket and placed it in front of Wen Xin, “This is from Moore for you, ‘little princess’. She tried to contact you earlier but couldn’t find you, so she asked me to convey the message.”
Wen Xin glanced at the USB drive on the table, picked it up, and slipped it into her pocket, not wanting to look at it just yet. She preferred to wait a bit longer.
“What else did Moore tell you?” Wen Xin knew Moore and Qian Meng were close, and if Moore had any arrangements, Qian Meng would probably know. She wanted to find out what Moore wanted to convey through Qian Meng.
“Moore said to me that ‘little princess’ can come back to the Independent State at any time. The Elders Guild of the Independent State will hold the Elder handover ceremony in ten days. It is tentatively set for fifteen days from now, to inaugurate a new term for the Chosen One. Those people can hardly wait to make their move against you.”
“Moore has recently partnered with Alfredo. Alfredo has assured Moore that he will protect you resolutely, without any betrayal. They will help you take control of the Independent State.”
When Moore couldn’t find Wen Xin, her first reaction was to tell all of her decisions to Qian Meng, hoping he could pass them on, saving a lot of time.
What do you think?
