“Do you think I’m at a loss? Everyone believes I’ve completely won you over, but only I know I haven’t gained anything…”

Mu Chengxi’s eyes, filled with tenderness, fixedly gazed at Wen Xin. Wen Xin immediately understood the implication of his words. She leaned forward to hug Mu Chengxi, biting his ear gently before laughing softly.

“You’re quite heartless, aren’t you? Even though you haven’t gained anything, you’ve allowed me to gain a lot…”

Upon hearing Wen Xin’s words, Mu Chengxi was stunned on the spot. Seizing the opportunity, Wen Xin quickly jumped out of his embrace. She didn’t want to play with fire at this moment, especially since she had promised Old Mr. Ou to attend his birthday banquet.

The Pearl of the Orient Private Club

Old Mr. Ou’s status in the capital is extremely high. Besides, the Ou family is second only to the Mu family, making it the second-largest family in the capital.

The lavish birthday banquet for his 80th year was held at the Pearl of the Orient Private Club, booking the entire venue.

All the invited guests were prominent figures in the capital, including outstanding younger members from several major families, who came to celebrate Old Mr. Ou’s birthday.

Outside the Pearl of the Orient Private Club’s parking lot, luxury cars arrived one after another.

The guests were dressed very formally and elegantly to show their respect for the banquet and Old Mr. Ou.

Then, a Maybach with a distinctive license plate slowly drove from a distance. The people who hadn’t yet entered the venue saw the car, and their expressions changed instantly.

“What’s happening? It seems only Old Mr. Out s birthday banquet could bring him out.”

“Of course, Old Mr. Ou was his mentor. He never misses the birthday banquet, and this year is no exception.”

“It seems we made the right choice coming here. Last year, when we heard he appeared at the banquet, we barely believed it. Now, seeing him in person, there’s no room for doubt.

“Hey, excuse me, who are you talking about? It’s tough to get an invitation to Old Mr. Ou’s birthday banquet. Even those who fight to the death might not be able to attend. Is there someone who wouldn’t want to attend?”

Hearing the man’s question, another man who was looking in the Maybach direction scoffed, “Are you new to the capital? Don’t you know about Mu Chengxi, the crown prince of the capital? He doesn’t attend just any banquet, only Old Mr. Ou’s.”

“Mu Chengxi, the crown prince of the Mu family? Is it really him?”

“Absolutely, look at that arrogant license plate. Who else could it be?”

As the conversation ended, everyone’s gaze fixed on the Maybach parked nearby, not daring to blink, afraid of missing something.

The car door opened, and Mu Bei and Liang Luoyu stepped out, walking to the rear seat to open the door. A man and a woman emerged from the car.

Under the bright lights, the man’s face was cold, and his presence was commanding.

Recognizing the man as Mu Chengxi, the crowd exchanged glances, confirming their guess was correct.

Mu Chengxi didn’t go straight in but walked around to the other side of the car, stopping by Wen Xin’s side. Holding her hand, they walked out of the parking lot together.

Those standing still were shocked to see Mu Chengxi holding a woman’s hand, walking shoulder to shoulder with her.

When they saw the woman beside Mu Chengxi, they were all stunned.

“That woman is so beautiful. Is she the daughter of the Wei family? I heard the

Wei family’s adopted daughter is a child bride, specifically raised for Mu

Chengxi, probably the Wei family’s eldest miss?”

“No way? I’ve seen the Wei family’s eldest daughter. She’s not as beautiful as her, and her style of dress is different. Could it be a young star?”

“Really? The crown prince of the capital is now mingling with young stars? But this woman is truly beautiful. If it were me, I definitely wouldn’t refuse!”

“Don’t dream. Someone who caught the eye of the crown prince, how could it be your turn? Don’t say such nonsense. If you get into trouble, you won’t even know how your family ends up.”

Of course, there were also those who watched the excitement with rationality. They knew that some spectacles were best observed calmly, without commenting or speaking out, to avoid trouble for their families.

Mu Chengxi, holding Wen Xin’s hand, walked into the private club. His grip on Wen Xin’s hand was tight, keeping her close to his side.

“The banquet is quite crowded, and my grandparents will come over soon.

Don’t worry too much; if you get tired, we can leave.”

Ever since he learned that Wen Xin had been working so hard to recuperate, Mu Chengxi had been fussing over her like a mother hen, meticulously planning even her diet and sleep.

Now, in this crowded and chaotic environment, Mu Chengxi was even more concerned about whether Wen Xin would get tired.

Wen Xin lifted her gaze and glanced at Mu Chengxi, her eyebrows slightly raised and a faint smile on her lips. Her bright eyes shimmered with laughter, “Understood.”

Passersby, who witnessed this scene, couldn’t help but stop in their tracks, staring at them in amazement. Who would have believed that the Crown Prince of the capital could be so gentle with a girl?

This man was famously indifferent to women!

Noticing the attention they were attracting, Wen Xin looked up, her stunningly beautiful features becoming apparent. Her gaze was cool and detached as she swept it over the onlookers, her presence so commanding that it was intimidating.

Those who had been staring at them all quickly looked away, only daring to raise their heads after Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi had passed.

“That girl isn’t the Wei family’s eldest miss. I’m really curious about her background, how she could replace the Wei family’s eldest miss and become the Mu family Crown Prince’s favorite.”

“No need to ask. Her status is obviously not simple. Just by those sharp and confident eyes, you can tell. If she were ordinary, how could she have such a presence?”

“Could it be? I haven’t heard of any family in the capital having such a daughter.”

A group of people gathered together, buzzing with speculation. Wei Shisheng, standing with Ou Shenzhi, looked pale and uncomfortable. She had expected Mu Chengxi to bring Wen Xin, but she hadn’t anticipated such a high-profile appearance.

“Sister Xin… ”

Ling Xu’er saw Mu Chengxi holding Wen Xin’s hand from afar as they entered the venue and wanted to rush over. However, Ling Yichen had told her that it was better to be composed in such an important gathering with many people around.

So, she patiently waited in place for Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi to approach.

Ling Xu’er ran to Wen Xin’s side, pausing briefly at the sight of Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi’s joined hands. She was slightly stunned for a moment and stood obediently beside Wen Xin..
