"Be careful, don't touch the wound." Seeing that Mu Ningxi was only concerned with taking his hand away and completely forgot that she had a wound on her arm, Huo Beichen kindly reminded her.

After saying that, Huo Beichen voluntarily took his hand away from Mu Ningxi.

"You knew I was injured but still bullied me, Huo Beichen. I thought you were a humble gentleman." Mu Ningxi, who was now free, rolled her eyes at Huo Beichen beside her and said unhappily.

"Why? To be a modest gentleman one must be free from desires. Then I might as well become a monk." Huo Beichen said with a smile, stretching out his hand and embracing Mu Ningxi in his arms again.

"Forget it. If I let you become a monk, I don't know how many nuns you will harm." Huo Beichen's relaxed attitude also made Mu Ningxi relax. She turned her head to look at Huo Beichen and joked.

"Is Mrs. Huo admitting in disguise that I'm more handsome?" Huo Beichen asked after hearing the meaning behind Mu Ningxi's words.

Mu Ningxi nodded gently and said shyly, "It's okay."

"Compared to your previous one, who is more handsome?" Huo Beichen insisted.

I used to think that only women liked to compare themselves with their boyfriends' exes, but I didn't expect that even a big shot like Huo Beichen had this habit.

"Hurry up and tell me." Seeing Mu Ningxi hesitated and did not answer, Huo Beichen could not help but urge her.

Huo Beichen felt uncomfortable when he thought about the fact that Mu Ningxi had been engaged to Meng Tianbo before.

"Of course it's you. How could Meng Tianbo be compared with you?" Huo Beichen's words disrupted Mu Ningxi's thoughts. She looked at Huo Beichen and said sincerely.

She didn't even need to answer this question. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Huo Beichen was many times stronger than Meng Tianbo.

"But you were engaged to him before. A scumbag like that is not worthy of you at all." Mu Ningxi's words gave Huo Beichen great satisfaction.

"What can I do? The marriage contract between the Meng and Mu families was made by my grandfather. As the eldest daughter of the Mu family, I must be the one to complete this marriage contract."

Facing Huo Beichen's accusations, Mu Ningxi was a little speechless.

At this point, Mu Ningxi laughed at herself and said, "If I had known that the person Meng Tianbo liked was Mu Xiner, I would definitely not have gotten engaged to him."

"Do you regret it?" Hearing the regret in Mu Ningxi's words, Huo Beichen asked unwillingly.

Mu Ningxi nodded heavily and said frankly: "Of course I regret it."

Without waiting for Huo Beichen to speak, Mu Ningxi continued, "In fact, when Grandpa made the engagement with the Meng family, he also wanted to give me a guarantee. He hoped that after he left, I would have someone to rely on."

"Grandpa knows that Mu Yuande's family will never tolerate me, and the Meng family can check and balance the Mu family. If I become the young lady of the Meng family, Mu Yuande and his family won't dare to do anything to me."

After listening to Mu Ningxi's words, Huo Beichen remembered what Zhao Yu said before, and asked casually, "Why, Mu Yuande is your second uncle, why can't he tolerate you for no reason?"

"That's because he was not convinced that my grandfather handed over the Mu Group to my father. As a result, he also disliked me." Mu Ningxi responded sadly.

So that's how it is. If it was a fight for the family property, then the death of Ning Xi's parents might not have been an accident. After all, the biggest beneficiary after her father's death was Mu Yuande.

But Ning Xi didn't want to tell me about this, so I couldn't ask any more.

Seeing that Mu Ningxi was unwilling to talk more about this matter, Huo Beichen changed the subject and said, "If your grandfather knew that the person you can rely on now is many times stronger than Meng Tianbo, he would definitely be very comforted."

"Indeed, it was a blessing in disguise that I met a great man like Mr. Huo. If Grandpa knew, he would definitely be very happy."

In order to satisfy Huo Beichen's narcissism, Mu Ningxi smiled and continued with his words.

"A top-notch man, Mrs. Huo, shouldn't he be a top-notch husband?" Huo Beichen was a little unhappy with Mu Ningxi's address to him.

"Okay, okay, a great husband." Not wanting to argue with the slightly paranoid Huo Beichen, Mu Ningxi agreed again.

"Call me husband, let me hear it." Huo Beichen made his request again.

After hearing what he said, Mu Ningxi's originally relaxed mood became a little nervous. It was okay when she was joking just now, but when she called him formally like that, Mu Ningxi felt a little embarrassed.

Looking directly into Huo Beichen's expectant eyes, Mu Ningxi lowered her head and said shyly, "Husband."

"Wife, you are so nice." Mu Ningxi had just finished shouting when Huo Beichen tightened his hands on her waist, lifted Mu Ningxi's head with his free hand, and kissed her gently.

"My hands hurt." As they kissed, Huo Beichen laid Mu Ningxi down on the bed. When he was about to take further action, he was awakened by Mu Ningxi's clear cry.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself just now and forgot that your hand was injured." Seeing Mu Ningxi's painful expression, Huo Beichen hurriedly apologized.

Mu Ningxi shook her head and stood up with the help of Huo Beichen. With the help of Huo Beichen, Mu Ningxi changed her clothes and they went downstairs together.

Downstairs, the doctor sent by Zhao Yu to help Mu Ningxi change the dressing had been waiting for a long time.

After changing the medicine and finishing their breakfast, Huo Beichen returned to his study to handle official business.

I don’t even know how to rest on weekends, and you still dare to say that I am a workaholic.

Looking at Huo Beichen's leaving back, Mu Ningxi thought to herself.

Mu Ningxi was feeling bored because of his injured hand and couldn't do anything. Suddenly, his cell phone rang. He took a look at the caller ID and picked up the phone immediately, happily calling out, "Brother Yunfeng."
