Chapter 973: Chapter 971: Little Princess Gets Angry, Consequences Are Severe

“No need, I don’t want to look at anything right now, I just want a good rest; go ahead and leave, if I need anything I’ll give you a call.”

Wen Xin just wanted to be alone and quiet right now, she felt extremely irritable but didn’t know what was bothering her, she just felt very unhappy.

Seeing Wen Xin’s agitated state, Moore didn’t dare to say anything else and turned to leave her bedroom.

After leaving Wen Xin’s bedroom, Moore came downstairs to find a group of people sitting in the living room. Before he could say a word, he was pulled by Chu Yunxuan who had walked over and took a seat on the sofa.

“How is our little lady doing? Is she still in a bad mood?”

Chu Yunxuan knew why Wen Xin was upset and asked the question with cautious concern, as it was the first time she had seen Wen Xin like this and it was indeed a bit frightening.

Moore looked at Chu Yunxuan, shook his head with a sense of helplessness, and spoke, “Look, I’ve been driven out; do you think it’s possible for her to be in a good mood? You’re really going to laugh me to death, but still, why has our little princess become so unhappy and, moreover…”

While speaking, Moore took an unconscious survey of the people around and didn’t spot anyone related to Mu Chengxi.

“Tell me what exactly is going on between the little princess and Mu Chengxi. Why isn’t Mu Chengxi around at such an important moment for her?”

Moore wanted to ask this question since he saw Wen Xin, but due to her glum expression, he didn’t speak up; however, now it seemed the situation was more serious than he had imagined.

Chu Yunxuan looked at Moore with an “I can’t say anything” expression, raised her eyebrows, and deliberately changed the subject, “We’ve been here so long; shouldn’t you play the good host and arrange something delicious? We’re hungry!”

It only struck Moore when Chu Yunxuan mentioned she was hungry; he had been so preoccupied with Wen Xin’s mood that he had neglected to provide dinner for the guests, which was quite an oversight.

“I’ll have the kitchen arrange it right away; my apologies for not attending to your dinner, I’m so sorry!”

After saying this, Moore quickly stood up from the sofa and rushed from the living room into the kitchen to instruct the housekeeper to arrange dinner for the people.

Wen Xin sat on the sofa in her bedroom, staring at her phone, feeling inexplicably tormented, wanting to call Mu Chengxi but worrying about getting no response, fearing she would completely break down.

Just then, Wen Xin’s phone suddenly rang; it was a call from a Bai Family member.

Hesitating for a moment as she looked at her phone, Wen Xin finally answered the call, soon hearing the voice of a middle-aged man.

“Wen Xin, I’ve heard you arrived at Independent State? Where are you right now? Why haven’t you come back to the Bai Family, do you think your uncle is unable to protect you?”

Bai Zijun spoke to Wen Xin with complete confidence, cherishing her as if she were his own daughter.

Hearing Bai Zijun’s words, Wen Xin’s previously irritable mood eased a lot, and she smiled faintly into the phone.

“Uncle, I originally planned to settle the Elders Guild affairs before coming back, but since you’ve found out, I’ll come to see Grandpa and Grandma in a bit.”

Wen Xin spoke with a deliberately light-hearted tone. She had no wish for the Bai Family to become embroiled in her affairs—at least not until she was sure of her ability to protect them. Now was not the time.

Upon hearing Wen Xin was willing to return, Bai Zijun responded with great excitement, “Then I’ll go tell your grandparents right away. They’ve been longing for you to come back; they’ll be thrilled to know you’re returning!”

Listening to Bai Zijun’s excited words and looking at the phone in her hand that had just been hung up, Wen Xin just smiled faintly and walked out of her room. Indeed, it was necessary for her to pay a visit to the Bai Family now.

When Bai Zijun heard that Wen Xin was really coming back for the Elders Guild meeting, his first reaction was to run to Mr. Bai and inform him of this.

Bai Zijun, in a flurry, barged into Mr. Bai’s study to find the Elder engrossed in practicing calligraphy with a serious demeanor.

Hearing the rushed footsteps halt at the doorway, Mr. Bai slowly turned around to see Bai Zijun standing by the door.

“I’ve told you many times, you’re an adult now; be more measured in your actions, not this hurried…”

Bai Zijun, less concerned with formalities at the moment, approached Mr. Bai and deliberately lowered his voice, speaking softly into the Elder’s ear.

“Dad, there’s something important I need to tell you. Wen Xin is coming to Beijing with someone, and she’s coming because of the Elders Guild meeting!”

At Bai Zijun’s words, the hand that held the brush involuntarily paused, causing the ink to spread on the fine rice paper, ruining the otherwise perfect piece of calligraphy.

“What did you say? Wen Xin is coming back? And it’s for the Elders Guild? How preposterous! Doesn’t she realize the array of problems she’ll face by returning at this time? She’s being far too reckless!”

The concern in Mr. Bai’s voice for Wen Xin was sincere; he worried for her just as much as he had once cared for his own daughter, fearful for Wen Xin’s safety.

“Dad, there’s not much we can do, but…” Bai Zijun felt a twinge of anxiety as he spoke, uncertain of what Wen Xin might do.

“It really is hard for her. I thought she didn’t want to step foot in Independent State, but now it seems she has no choice but to face these troublesome matters!”

Old Master Bai set down his brush and sat down behind him, then looked at Bai Zijun with a worried expression.

“This time, Wen Xin’s return isn’t just for the Elders Guild business; I fear she might do something drastic…”

As he said this, Old Master Bai’s pupils involuntarily shuddered. He seemed to guess what Wen Xin was planning to do.

Bai Zijun was closely observing Mr. Bai’s expressions, and he did not miss the old man’s shock at all. He looked at Mr. Bai, perplexed.

“Dad, have you thought of something? You don’t need to keep it to yourself with me. If there’s something on your mind, just say it. Let me understand what’s going on. After all, I am Wen Xin’s uncle, and only if I know what she intends to do can I possibly help her.”

Bai Zijun had always been overly indulgent with his sister, and now that his own sister was gone, he wanted to take even better care of Wen Xin—at least when he thought no one was watching. But now it was different. Wen Xin was within his realm of influence, and even though he was not very powerful, he still wanted to do something.
