Chapter 738: Chapter 737: Indulgence Belonging Solely to Mu Chengxi, is Permissiveness

Muxi lazily glanced at the phone Mu Bei placed before him, then bowed his head again, stopping the conversation, while Mu Bei couldn’t help but take an extra look at Muxi, feeling that something was off about him.

Even as Muxi joined him to the airport, he still couldn’t figure out why Muxi had come along, hadn’t he always disliked Miss Wen?

“I’ve never seen a woman make such a fuss, really!”

Muxi, annoyed, took a pack of cigarettes from the car’s drawer and lit one, Mu Bei looked at him impatiently and furrowed his brows, kindly reminding him.

“Master Xi doesn’t like anyone smoking in his car.”

Upon hearing Mu Bei’s reminder, Muxi turned incredulously to look at him, feeling that Mu Bei was talking about something unbelievable. If he remembered correctly, Master Xi was a smoker himself, how could he possibly disallow others from smoking in the car.

“Mu Bei, are you out of your mind? You better change your name to Wen Xin’s lapdog! I bet it’s that Wen Xin who doesn’t like the smell of smoke, so Master Xi indulges her. She’s just a woman, what’s there to pamper?”

Muxi disdainfully glanced at Mu Bei, feeling that his brothers and the head of the Mu family had all gone mad, over just a woman…is that necessary?

Mu Bei, seeing Muxi, stubborn and rebellious, felt somewhat helpless. He knew saying more would not change Muxi’s mind but would only deepen his resentment, so he chose to remain silent in the end.

Mu Bei opened the car door, got out, sent a text to Mu Chengxi, preparing to collect the luggage in advance, to avoid Mu Chengxi from having to deal with it, which could be somewhat inconvenient.

When Mu Bei found Mu Chengxi and Wen Xin, Wen Xin was devouring a burger with a satisfied face, while Mu Chengxi also sat beside, holding a burger and joining her.

Seeing this scene, Mu Bei felt his jaw drop in shock, since when did Master Xi start eating such junk food? It was too unbelievable, was that really their Master Xi?

Mu Bei approached Mu Chengxi and, before he could speak, he heard a cold, indifferent voice.

“Back off, you reek of smoke…”

Mu Chengxi, not wanting Wen Xin to breathe secondhand smoke, never smoked in front of her. He loved the fresh scent of Wen Xin and always wanted to keep her away from any foul smells.

The appearance of Mu Bei, reeking of smoke, added irritation to Mu Chengxi’s otherwise calm mood.

Mu Bei, hearing Mu Chengxi’s words, hurriedly stepped back two meters, sniffing his own scent carefully, indeed a strong smell of smoke wafted from him.

“Master Xi, I just came to take the luggage away, you and Miss Wen enjoy your meal, no rush.”

Mu Bei now wished Mu Chengxi would take his time going out to the car, so as not to throw a fit because of the strong smell of smoke in the car. Had he known Muxi would cause such trouble, he definitely would not have brought him along.

Mu Chengxi glanced coldly at Mu Bei, aware that Mu Bei knew his habits, he definitely wouldn’t appear before him reeking of smoke unless someone else had been smoking, thus infusing Mu Bei with the smell.

“Did Muxi come here with you?”

Somehow guessing that Muxi had also come along, Mu Bei hurriedly nodded, “Muxi came with me, he hadn’t met Miss Wen yet, so he came along…”

Mu Bei had also failed to figure out what Muxi intended to do. He simply relayed the reason Muxi had given when getting into the car to Mu Chengxi.

Hearing Mu Bei’s response, Wen Xin, who had been looking down at her phone and nibbling a burger, suddenly laughed. She slowly raised her head to look at Mu Bei.

“Is he trying to intimidate me because he has never met me before and then set rules for me?” Wen Xin’s cool eyes flickered with a faint cold light, causing Mu Bei to involuntarily shiver.

“Miss Wen, you might be misunderstanding something,” he said.

Mu Bei’s voice trembled slightly. He was also unsure of what exactly Muxi was up to. Muxi’s behavior was indeed a bit abnormal, not the lack of measure he had shown before. But now, his actions were emitting a form of inexplicable eeriness.

Watching Mu Bei trying to forcibly explain for Muxi, Wen Xin gave a faint smile. What Mu Chengxi could think of, Wen Xin could also think of—she enjoyed dealing with such unrestrained people.

Wen Xin turned her head to look at Mu Chengxi, “Have you had any dangerous dealings recently? I want to experience what that kind of transaction feels like.”

Wen Xin’s words caused beads of sweat to appear unconsciously on Mu Bei’s forehead. He always felt that Wen Xin was looking to cause trouble, but he was not sure…

At this moment, he was very much hoping that Mu Chengxi would consider Wen Xin’s safety and refuse her participation in such dangerous activities.

“Yes, there’s a batch of goods arriving at the port in the Southern Territory tomorrow. We need to pick it up. It will probably take about three days. The work is quite tough. Do you want to have some fun?”

Mu Chengxi’s words made Mu Bei drop his jaw in shock. He had not expected Mu Chengxi to actually let Wen Xin go to such a dangerous place for fun. Knowing that this transaction had been discussed for a long time by Mu Dong and Muxi, they were worried something unexpected might happen during the process…

And now Mu Chengxi was letting Wen Xin go for fun. Had his Master Xi gone mad?

Mu Bei stood still, nodding submissively not daring to speak. He knew he had already displeased Mu Chengxi and worried that speaking further out of turn could lead directly to severe consequences, which would be counterproductive.

Wen Xin lifted her head to catch Mu Bei’s expression and unconsciously chuckled, “Then I’ll participate in this transaction, but as for…”

Wen Xin suddenly stopped mid-sentence. She flashed a crisp smile at Mu Bei, causing him to shiver involuntarily, overwhelmed by an ominous premonition.

“I…”

“Let Mu Bei come along, to take care of me on the way.

” Wen Xin looked at Mu Bei’s astonished expression, feeling very pleased. If he brought Muxi here to upset her, then she would not make it easy for him either!

“Master Xi, this… this transaction is managed by Mu Xi and Mu Dong. I still need to…”

Mu Bei quickly spoke before Mu Chengxi agreed to Wen Xin’s request. He did not want to get involved in this mess. It was better for Mu Dong to handle these matters. He could not afford to offend anyone and would only end up suffering in the middle. He was not a match for Muxi, and if Muxi went berserk, he’d be finished.

“Just take over the part that Mu Dong is responsible for. Let Mu Dong stay in the estate with me to attend a few meetings,” said Mu Chengxi.

Mu Chengxi finished the last bite of his burger, his gentle gaze constantly on Wen Xin, completely disregarding what Mu Bei was saying. He had guessed what Wen Xin intended to do, and simply let her have her way. As long as she was happy, that was enough.
