Mu Ningxi returned to the study room with the tray and ate while praising in her heart: He is worthy of being a chef hired by a wealthy family. His cake-making skills are really good.

Mu Ningxi, who didn't have lunch, praised the food in her hand.

After filling his stomach, Mu Ningxi recalled the conversation he had just had with Aunt Qin and sighed helplessly.

In fact, when talking with Aunt Qin just now, Mu Ningxi didn't want to say that she would wait for Huo Beichen to come back before eating, but as a guest, it wouldn't make sense for her to eat alone without waiting for the host to come home.

If that happens, people here will definitely say that Mu Ningxi is ignorant.

Not wanting to be talked about behind his back on his first day, Mu Ningxi had no choice but to bite the bullet and say something against her will.

Come to think of it, looking at Huo Beichen's pretending to be deep face, Mu Ningxi's appetite was not as good as when she ate alone.

Alas, when you live under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.

Mu Ningxi ate the fruit and sighed softly.

Mu Ningxi, who was sitting in the study, had no idea that Aunt Qin in the living room was also worried about what she had just said.

Huo Beichen's whereabouts have always been erratic, and he basically won't return to Liyuan when he has nothing to do. Aunt Qin has no idea whether Huo Beichen will return to Liyuan today.

I don’t even know if he would dare to come back before dinner time.

Today is the first day that the young lady moves into Liyuan. Normally, the young master should be back!

Aunt Qin muttered to herself in a very unconfident manner.

But, what if the young master doesn’t come back, wouldn’t the young mistress have to wait in vain?

The next second, Aunt Qin thought of another possibility.

As Huo Beichen's confidant, Aunt Qin knew clearly that he hated being asked about his whereabouts the most.

Aunt Qin didn't dare to call to ask whether Huo Beichen would come to Liyuan today.

Forget it, it’s still early, let’s wait and see.

If the young master comes back later, I won’t have to worry about it anymore.

After glancing at the wall clock, Aunt Qin decided to wait a moment before considering whether to call and ask Huo Beichen.

After afternoon tea, Mu Ningxi started to get busy again.

Before I knew it, it was already 5: in the afternoon.

In a private room in Rongzhaifang, Zhong Rui glanced at the time, stared at Shen Kuo who was sitting opposite him and asked, "Is Beichen going to break his promise again today?"

"He was the one who asked us out for dinner yesterday, so he shouldn't break the date. It's still early, so let's wait a little longer. You know Beichen is a workaholic, and he won't put down his work until it's time to get off work."

Shen Kuo looked at Zhong Rui and comforted him.

Having said that, Shen Kuo began to feel a little uneasy.

It’s not like he hasn’t been stood up by Huo Beichen before. Will he be so unlucky again this time?

Hearing Shen Kuo say this, Zhong Rui could only nod helplessly.

Wang Lei, who was sitting nearby, heard their conversation but said nothing.

Half an hour passed, and there was still no sign of Huo Beichen. Shen Kuo became a little impatient and finally picked up the phone and made a call.

Huo Beichen, who had just gotten into the car, received a call from Shen Kuo: "Beichen, we are already in Rongzhaifang, when can you come over?"

At the same time, Aunt Qin also called A Kun: "A Kun, will the young master return to Liyuan tonight? The young mistress said that she would wait for him to come back before having dinner."

Hearing Aunt Qin say that, A Kun turned around and glanced at Huo Beichen, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

Seeing that something was wrong with A Kun, Huo Beichen ignored Shen Kuo on the other end of the phone and stared at A Kun and asked, "What happened?"

"Aunt Qin called and said that the young lady will wait for you to come home before having dinner." A Kun relayed what Aunt Qin had just said to Huo Beichen.

After hearing this, Huo Beichen frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said to A Kun: "Tell Aunt Qin that I will be back soon."

Ah Kun took the order and hurriedly relayed Huo Beichen's words to Aunt Qin.

Shen Kuo secretly sighed when he heard the noise on the phone. Before he could ask for anything, Huo Beichen's cold voice reached his ears: "Let's make an appointment next time."

After saying that, he hung up the phone, leaving Shen Kuo alone holding the phone, stunned.

Huo Beichen really stood him up again, that was really not nice of him.

Wait, I just heard A Kun talking about the Young Madam. Could it be that Beichen abandoned them, his brothers, for his newlywed wife?

Didn’t he say before that he wanted to deal with Grandpa Huo and temporarily find someone to get a marriage certificate?

But the situation before me seems less and less like that. Could it be that Beichen has fallen in love with that woman?

No, no, Beichen is not the kind of person who can easily fall in love with someone else. There must be a reason why he does this.
