He had thought Wen Xin wouldn’t fall for anyone, so he could wait and let her do as she pleased outside.
But when he saw how Wen Xin looked at Mu Chengxi, he realized she had feelings for him. The girl who knew nothing of love and harbored only hatred had disappeared.
She had someone she liked, and he couldn’t accept that.
“Don’t mention my parents; you’re not worthy. Alfredo, if you want to leave Country Z alive and return to the Independent State, I advise you to disappear from my sight right now. I’m not known for my patience.”
“And don’t bother me in the future. Independent State? I’ll return if I wish, and nobody can force me otherwise!”
Wen Xin’s eyes slightly reddened, her entire demeanor proud, rebellious, and unbridled.
Alfredo did not heed Wen Xin’s advice. He couldn’t let her be with Mu Chengxi and was determined to take her away today, even if it meant doing so by force.
He reached out to grab Wen Xin’s arm, but she seemed to have anticipated his move. Before he could touch her, Wen Xin raised her hand and swiftly restrained Alfredo, pushing him hard against the wall.
Alfredo hadn’t expected Wen Xin to possess such skills. Despite being on guard, he was unprepared for her strength, feeling as though all his internal organs were shaken.
The pain overwhelmed him, causing him to grunt.
As his grunt escaped, a metallic gleam flashed before his eyes, and he felt something cold and metallic press against his neck.
This scene shocked Alfredo’s bodyguard. A bald man suddenly rushed forward, shouting from behind Wen Xin, “Miss, you can’t…”
“Can’t? Didn’t I tell you not to interfere in my life, and yet you didn’t listen? And I said I wouldn’t acknowledge the marriage arrangement, but no one took that to heart, did they? Now you tell me I can’t—why should I spare him?”
While speaking, Wen Xin pressed the dinner knife against Alfredo’s carotid artery, applying slight pressure and blinking at him with her beautiful eyes.
“Scared? Although the knife isn’t fast, it’s enough in my hands to kill you. Want to try? One cut and I guarantee you won’t even have a chance to be saved.”
Alfredo, looking into Wen Xin’s dark and dangerous eyes, didn’t dare speak. He knew her character well and understood her threats were not empty; she could really do it.
“I’m telling you, don’t even think about harming the people close to me, especially Mu Chengxi. He’s my man. If you dare to scheme against him, I’ll blow up your Payten family. I mean what I say.”
“He’s yours? Then what am I? I manage the Independent State on your behalf; am I not yours? Yatta, how can you be so cold-hearted to me? Does our marriage agreement mean nothing? You can’t…”
Alfredo couldn’t accept Wen Xin’s protection of Mu Chengxi. She was supposed to be his, but…
Before Alfredo could finish, Wen Xin’s knife made a cut on his neck, cleverly avoiding the major artery.
Instantly, a line of blood appeared, visibly oozing out, shocking everyone around.
The bald man was the first to rush up, trying to take the knife from Wen Xin’s hand, but before he could touch her, she kicked him away with all her strength.
Wen Xin, looking at the blood on Alfredo’s neck, flashed a bloodthirsty excitement in her eyes, “I’ve said it; don’t bring up our engagement again. I’ve already accepted the Mu family’s betrothal gifts. Put away your useless schemes; it’s impossible between us!”
With those words, Wen Xin released Alfredo, turned her head to glance at the bald man struggling to get up from the ground, and smirked, “Don’t worry, it’s not fatal. Just superficial wounds.”
Wen Xin shook the knife in her hand, and the line of bodyguards wisely cleared a path for her, not daring to block this she-devil.
“Wen Xin, go to hell!”
Just then, a figure charged towards her from afar.
Wen Xin turned to see that the person running towards her was Wei Shisheng. Her lips slightly curved up; she had been looking for an excuse to deal with Wei Shisheng properly, and since she had come to her, she might as well join Alfredo in needing hospital treatment.
Wen Xin casually threw the dinner knife in her hand, sending it flying straight at Wei Shisheng.
When Wei Shisheng saw the flying knife, she had no time to dodge it. The knife pierced her shoulder, causing her to lose strength instantly and fall to the ground hard.
The knife, which had only penetrated the flesh, went deeper into her bone due to her fall, causing excruciating pain that made her scream, attracting many people from the banquet hall.
The crowd rushed over to see Alfredo with blood on his neck, standing next to a bald man holding his stomach, trying to stop Alfredo’s bleeding with a tissue.
And there was Wei Shisheng, with a dinner knife stuck in her shoulder and a dagger in her hand.
It was clear Wei Shisheng had intended to kill someone but had failed.
Seeing more and more people running over, Alfredo didn’t want the incident to cause any trouble for Wen Xin. He coldly ordered the bodyguards, “Take her to the hospital, we’re leaving…”
As he left, Alfredo couldn’t help but give Wen Xin several more glances. He knew the hatred in Wen Xin’s heart, but he wasn’t going to give up easily.
The bodyguards picked Wei Shisheng up from the ground and hurriedly followed Alfredo, leaving the scene quickly. Soon, the place returned to its usual calm, as if nothing had happened.
At this time, Mu Chengxi, Liang Luoyu, and others also hurried over. Mu Chengxi ran to Wen Xin, wrapping her in his arms, his gaze falling on the blood on the ground, his eyes cold and dangerous.
“Are you alright? Did you get hurt anywhere?” Mu Chengxi asked anxiously. When he saw Wen Xin missing upon his return and guessed what she might have done, that made him panic.
“It’s okay. Let’s just inform Old Ou and leave.” Wen Xin held Mu Chengxi’s hand, giving him a gentle smile and a reassuring look, telling him not to worry.
Mu Chengxi held Wen Xin’s hand and led her away from the curious crowd towards the lounge.
When Wen Xin and Mu Chengxi reached the restrooms, they coincidentally bumped into Ou Shenzhi running out. Shenzhi gave Mu Chengxi and Wen Xin a complex look but said nothing and hurriedly ran away..
