A Big Shot’s Woman Is Wild and Fierce - Chapter 606

Chapter 606: Losing the Little Princess Was His Own Fault

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Sun Ning gently patted Alfredo’s shoulder. “Come on, let’s go back. I’ll change your bandages.”

“What’s the point? I only wish her shot had hit my head back then. That way, I wouldn’t have to feel this pain,” Alfredo said, his already heavy heart feeling even more burdened.

His little princess was sleeping peacefully beside someone else.

“Let’s go. Even if you’re sad, don’t make a scene here. Go back to your room and recover. The Independent State needs you to handle many things,” Sun Ning said, dragging Alfredo back to his room, where they ran into the bald man heading out to find him.

“What happened to him? Why does he look like this?” the bald man asked, seeing Alfredo’s lifeless demeanor. He had left Alfredo in the morning, and he had not been in this state. Now, he looked utterly despondent.

“Your master is heartbroken. Brief him on the Independent State’s affairs to distract him, or things will only get worse,” Sun Ning said, mocking Alfredo’s forlorn state.

“Dr. Sun, please have some sympathy. Our Chairman is already very upset. Don’t make it worse,” the bald man sighed, helplessly watching Sun Ning’s indifferent attitude.

“Fine, I’ll prepare the bandages. Brief him on work to distract him; it might help him forget,” Sun Ning replied, dropping his mocking tone and turning to leave.

After Sun Ning left, the room fell silent. The bald man sighed at Alfredo’s pale face. “Chairman, you can’t let this get to you. The Independent State still needs you. The council is meeting today… discussing how to deal with the Taros family.”

Alfredo remained unresponsive, lying in bed like a lifeless body, exuding an air of despair.

At that moment, the door opened, and Wen Xin stood there, rubbing her eyes. She looked at Alfredo, lying motionless.

“Miss,” the bald man greeted her, surprised. He hadn’t expected Wen Xin to speak to Alfredo willingly.

“I need to talk to him. Leave us,” Wen Xin said.

She had been awakened while Mu Chengxi’s bandages were being changed and used the excuse of going to the bathroom to leave his room.

Moore had informed her of the current situation in the Independent State. Not wanting to handle it herself, she reluctantly came to find Alfredo.

After the bald man left, Wen Xin dragged a chair over and sat across from Alfredo, crossing her legs, looking every bit the boss.

Staring at the unresponsive Alfredo, she sneered and began to speak. “I know you resent me for what I did. I misunderstood you, and I’m willing to apologize. Mu Chengxi’s situation had nothing to do with you.”

Hearing her willingness to apologize, Alfredo’s eyes flashed with a hint of sorrow. “Do you think I need your apology? I don’t need it,” Alfredo retorted angrily, for the first time directing his anger at Wen Xin.

“If you don’t need my apology, I’ll leave. If you don’t want to handle the Independent State’s affairs, let those old men deal with it. The more chaotic this place becomes, the better for me. I’m looking forward to its destruction,” Wen Xin said, her anger flaring up. She regretted coming here and listening to Sun Ning’s advice to apologize.

“Yatta, What am I to you?” Alfredo’s tone softened, revealing his true feelings. He was upset that in Wen Xin’s heart, he didn’t compare to Mu Chengxi.

“What are you?” Wen Xin was taken aback, never having considered Alfredo’s place in her life. Every time she saw him, she recalled painful memories, and her aggression was triggered.

When faced with problems, her first instinct was to avoid him, knowing she would never be his first choice. He would be her biggest obstacle.

Yet, some matters were unavoidable since he held significant power in the Independent State, ensuring she was undisturbed.

Their relationship was complex: they resented each other yet relied on each other. They couldn’t meet, but they couldn’t be apart.

Seeing her deep in thought, Alfredo sighed, understanding he had no place in her heart. “Forget it. I can see from your expression that I’m a nuisance to you. I understand now.”

“Rest assured, regardless of our relationship, I’ll do my duty. I’ll manage the Independent State until you take over,”

“Here, I want to remind you of something. I advise you not to touch that old fox of yours. He is involved in too many things. Wait until you have enough strength to fight him before you make a move. Otherwise, even if Moore and I work together, we might not be able to protect you.”

“I’ll settle the Independent State’s matters as soon as possible. I won’t cause you any trouble,” Alfredo said, kneeling on one knee and giving a knight’s salute.

He finally understood Moore’s words: his actions had driven Wen Xin away.

Recalling the past, Alfredo remembered Wen Xin’s timid arrival in the Independent State, trusting him implicitly and seeking his protection.

It was his actions that lost him this sweet girl. If only… but there were no ifs.

Wen Xin looked at Alfredo kneeling on the ground. She extended her hand to him. “Thank you for arranging Sun Ning to save Mu Chengxi, even though you were in a difficult position, and even if it was to threaten me. I appreciate it.”
