A Big Shot's Woman Is Wild and Fierce-Chapter 723 - 722: The little thing is getting better at tricking me, but I like it

Chapter 723: Chapter 722: The little thing is getting better at tricking me, but I like it

“It’s rare to have the chance to come to P City, so bringing you to the best restaurant for a meal shouldn’t need any special reason, right?”

Wen Xin straightened her body, resting an arm on the table and cradling her chin, her gaze softened as she looked at Mu Chengxi, her eyes filled with affection.

Seeing Wen Xin’s affectionate side was rare, and Mu Chengxi felt he was nearly drowning in her tenderness. He reached out, wrapped his arms around her waist, and drew her into his embrace.

“Did you miss me these past few days?” Mu Chengxi, upon seeing Wen Xin yesterday, wanted to ask her this question, but passion flared quickly, leaving him no chance to voice such tender words.

“Of course, I did. I was even considering, once I finished up here, heading to F State to see you. I didn’t expect you’d beat me to it and come find me…”

As she spoke, Wen Xin raised her arm, resting a hand on Mu Chengxi’s shoulder, and smiled down at him, speaking words that teased humorously with such ease.

Witnessing Wen Xin’s mischievous smile, Mu Chengxi smiled indulgently. He believed that she missed him, but the rest of her words seemed to tease him; knowing her, she wouldn’t easily make her way to F State to see him.

“Little rascal, you’re getting better at teasing me, but I do enjoy it!”

As he spoke, Mu Chengxi tilted his head up and gently kissed Wen Xin’s red lips, and Wen Xin, without resistance, wrapped her arms around his shoulders, deepening their kiss.

Just as their kiss became irresistibly intimate, a soft knocking sound came from the door.

Wen Xin quickly pulled away from Mu Chengxi, jumped down from his embrace, and reassumed her seat. She looked towards the door with composure and spoke in a clear, cool voice, “Come in.”

With Wen Xin’s permission, a server pushed in a cart from outside, setting dishes ordered by Mu Chengxi meticulously in front of them, and finally placed a card in front of Wen Xin.

“Miss Wen, good evening. This is your pass for tonight’s auction, which features a unique QR code; scan it with your phone to view today’s items. We hope you and this gentleman enjoy your meal!”

Having finished, the server exited the private room very politely. Wen Xin picked up the card the server had placed on the table and glanced over it lightly.

“You didn’t come just for the auction, did you?” Wen Xin waved the card in front of Mu Chengxi, setting it down before him with a slightly triumphant smirk.

Stabbed in the heart by Wen Xin’s quip, Mu Chengxi looked at her smiling face and indulgently smiled; he didn’t deny her words.

“I came to see my little empress, and just to stop by the auction as well; after all, nothing is more important than my little empress.”

As he spoke, Mu Chengxi pushed a plate of neatly sliced steak towards Wen Xin, tapped the table lightly with a finger, and softly reminded, “Didn’t you say you were hungry when you came out? Eat first…”

Watching Mu Chengxi’s regal, elegant demeanor, Wen Xin took up the utensils beside her and began to eat the steak he had cut for her. The steak, tender and juicy, burst with flavor at each bite, making Wen Xin unconsciously close her eyes in satisfaction.

The flavor was truly delicious, satisfying even Wen Xin, who usually had little desire for food.

After Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi had finished eating, they left the restaurant. As Wen Xin was departing, the server gifted her a delicate present as a token of the restaurant’s appreciation for its esteemed patrons.

Mu Chengxi and Wen Xin left the restaurant as the sky outside had already grown dark, and the temperature in P City was quite low. Mu Chengxi helped Wen Xin pull her clothes together, then neatly buttoned up her coat.

He buttoned it all the way up to the top, at which point Wen Xin uncomfortably grasped Mu Chengxi’s hand, “Hey, why are you buttoning it so tightly?”

“I’m worried the cold wind will get inside your clothes through the collar, and you’ll feel cold.”

Mu Chengxi looked at Wen Xin and seriously buttoned the top button for her before he finally released her, satisfied.

Although Wen Xin was somewhat displeased with Mu Chengxi’s actions, she didn’t deny his words, as the weather was indeed a bit chilly.

“Are we heading to the underground auction venue?”

After having adjusted Wen Xin’s clothes, Mu Chengxi also meticulously buttoned up his own coat, then, holding Wen Xin’s hand and following the small map on a card, they walked along a narrow path in the direction of the auction venue.

Wen Xin let Mu Chengxi hold her hand and followed his lead towards the auction venue, but the more they walked, the more familiar the place seemed to Wen Xin; it seemed to be the very place where she had previously battled in illegal boxing matches for her life.

Mu Chengxi’s gaze was fixed on Wen Xin, and he caught any change in her expression instantly.

“Have you been to this place before?”

Unsure why Mu Chengxi would ask such a question, Wen Xin turned her head to look at him, “I have been. Otherwise, how would I know about the great restaurant here?”

As she said this, Wen Xin gave Mu Chengxi a secretive smile, clearly showing no intention of explaining further, while Mu Chengxi just narrowed his eyes slightly. He didn’t dare ask more, fearing he wouldn’t be able to handle the answers.

He wanted to know what Wen Xin’s life had been like before but was too afraid to ask in detail. He feared that if Wen Xin’s past had been too painful, it would break his heart.

Gently tightening his grip on Wen Xin’s hand, he pulled her into his arms and walked into a very messy alley with her.

If it weren’t for the guidance of the small map, it would probably be impossible for most people to find this path.

Passing through the alley, they were faced with a wooden door of moderate size. Mu Chengxi walked ahead of Wen Xin, one hand pushing the door while the other held Wen Xin’s cold small hand tightly in his palm, worried that he might accidentally lose her in this place.

Entering through the wooden door, there was a long staircase leading down to the basement level.

Reaching the basement level, they were greeted by a very luxurious hall, roughly a few hundred square meters in size, filled with lights and shadows and smoky air. The hall was filled with countless tables, all surrounded by people, fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

making it clear that this place was a large gambling den.

Seeing the large gambling den before her, Wen Xin unconsciously tugged gently at Mu Chengxi’s arm, her face displaying a highly interested expression.

Feeling Wen Xin’s action, Mu Chengxi turned to look at her and saw her excited expression, and he knew without guessing that Wen Xin wanted to have a good time here.
