“Come sit here,” Wen Xin put down her game and gently patted the seat beside her, inviting Mu Chengxi to sit.

Mu Chengxi was leaning lazily against the wall. Seeing Wen Xin’s invitation, he smiled softly, stood up, and walked over to sit beside Wen Xin, naturally wrapping his arms around her.

“I want to discuss the matter of Ghost’s Domain with you. About a month ago, I took Ghost’s Domain under my wing. I’m planning to hand it over to Wen Huai. What do you think?”

Hearing that Mu Chengxi had taken Ghost’s Domain under his wing, Wen Xin struggled to sit up from Mu Chengxi’s embrace. She looked at Mu Chengxi in disbelief. It had only been six months, and he had already taken Ghost’s Domain. What kind of concept was this?

“You’ve been dealing with matters in Continent F for the past six months, and you’ve taken Ghost’s Domain in? When did you do all of this?”

Wen Xin knew Mu Chengxi had been busy for the past six months, but she never imagined he would take Ghost’s Domain in.

Wen Xin had investigated Ghost’s Domain after her grandmother’s death. At that time, Ghost’s Domain’s influence was deeply rooted, and Wen Xin didn’t want to provoke them.

Wen Xin felt as long as they didn’t affect Tang Xingyue’s normal life, she could pretend not to know about this matter. But she didn’t expect Mu Chengxi to take action.

“It’s quite a coincidence. When I was dealing with matters in Continent F, Ghost’s Domain’s people came looking for trouble. I took the opportunity to deal with Ghost’s Domain.”

“By then, Ghost’s Domain had already fallen apart, but their internal influence couldn’t be underestimated. I used the ghost talisman I gave you to take over the position of the Ghost Lord.”

“After more than a month of adjustments, Ghost’s Domain is now running smoothly. Those who were unwilling and causing trouble have been dealt with. What do you think about letting Wen Huai take over Ghost’s Domain?”

Listening to Mu Chengxi’s words, Wen Xin still couldn’t react. She felt things couldn’t be as simple as Mu Chengxi said. Suddenly, she thought of something and reached out to grab Mu Chengxi’s shirt hem.

Mu Chengxi grabbed Wen Xin’s hand, looking at Wen Xin with confusion.

“What are you doing? Isn’t this inappropriate in broad daylight?”

“Shut up!”

Originally intending to pull up Mu Chengxi’s shirt, but upon hearing Mu Chengxi still joking around, Wen Xin’s pent-up frustration became uncontrollable. She shook off Mu Chengxi’s hand and grabbed his shirt. She just wanted to confirm one thing.

Mu Chengxi didn’t understand why Wen Xin was getting angry, so he let her pull at his clothes. It wasn’t until Wen Xin’s cold fingertips pressed onto his already surgically altered wound that he realized Wen Xin had found out. “Injured and underwent plastic surgery, Mu Chengxi, you’re quite something!”

Wen Xin didn’t want to get angry originally, but the anger in her heart was still hard to control. He actually took risks for such trivial matters. She knew then that things couldn’t be as simple as he said.

“I… can explain.”

The fact that Wen Xin discovered the wound on Mu Chengxi was something he hadn’t expected. Despite their open and honest relationship, Wen Xin had never observed closely because of shyness. He didn’t know when Wen Xin noticed something different.

Wen Xin confirmed her suspicion and sat on the sofa, her gaze coldly fixed on Mu Chengxi. She raised her chin slightly and said, “Please, start your explanation.”

Mu Chengxi sighed helplessly. He could see that Wen Xin couldn’t be easily appeased.

He shifted his body, trying to move closer to Wen Xin, but before he could touch her, she kicked him mercilessly.

“Ah, it hurts…” Mu Chengxi rubbed his shoulder where Wen Xin had kicked him. It wasn’t really painful, but he thought if he pretended it was, Wen Xin might be a bit more forgiving.

“Don’t play innocent with me! You don’t even feel pain from a gunshot wound, and now you’re pretending to be in pain here? Mu Chengxi, I finally understand why you’ve been abroad for two months. It turns out you were injured and afraid to come home!”

Wen Xin felt frustrated when he thought about how Mu Chengxi had gotten injured when she was at her busiest and how she did not even know about it. “I was not avoiding coming home on purpose. There really were matters to attend to at the time. By the time everything was settled, my injury had already healed, so I also underwent plastic surgery. I didn’t mean to hide anything from you. You’re so clever; how could I hide it from you?”

Mu Chengxi looked at Wen Xin, trying to please her. He wanted to hold her hand, but Wen Xin shook it off. Wen Xin lowered her eyes and didn’t look at Mu Chengxi.

“I’ve been quite busy these past six months, but I’m not dead. You’ve kept everything from me. From now on, you don’t have to tell me anything when you’re busy. I think you’re fine on your own.”

The more Wen Xin thought about it, the angrier she became. She jumped up from the sofa and walked towards the bedroom without looking back. Once inside, she forcefully slammed the door shut.

Mu Chengxi was relieved that he didn’t hear the door locking. He sighed in relief; his little ancestor still left him a bit of leeway.

Mu Chengxi stood up from the sofa, straightened his clothes, and walked into the kitchen to make a cup of honey pomelo tea. Carrying the cup, he walked into the bedroom.

Wen Xin was lying on the bed, her head covered with a blanket.

Mu Chengxi placed the cup on the table and sat down by the bed, gently pulling the blanket off Wen Xin’s head.

“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have kept it from you. I really didn’t want you to worry about my injury. I know you’ve been busy lately, and the injury was just superficial…”

Mu Chengxi hadn’t finished speaking when Wen Xin sat up and tightly hugged him. She buried her face in his neck, muffling her voice.

“Do you know, not only do you worry about me, but I also worry about you. I’m just afraid something will happen to you, so I wanted to handle everything on my own. But… you still got injured because of me!”

This was the first time Mu Chengxi had seen Wen Xin like this. He tightened his arms and hugged Wen Xin tightly in his arms, comforting her in a soft and gentle voice.

“That was really just an accident. I promise I’ll consult you before doing anything in the future, okay?”

Wen Xin rested on Mu Chengxi’s shoulder for a long time before finally pulling away from him.

Her emotions had returned to normal by now, and a faint mist lingered in her black and bright eyes. Mu Chengxi bent down and kissed her eyelids.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t consider everything carefully. I won’t do anything to worry you in the future.”

Mu Chengxi gently stroked Wen Xin’s hair, feeling a hint of guilt in his heart. He couldn’t tell her about what happened before her grandmother’s death or explain why he was in such a hurry to act.

He was just worried that Ghost’s Domain would threaten Wen Xin’s safety. He didn’t expect Wen Xin’s reaction to be so intense..
