The husband I got is actually the heir to a wealthy family

Huo Beichen's words left Mu Ningxi unable to refute.

No matter from which aspect, Huo Beichen in front of him is indeed much stronger than Meng Tianbo.

However, staring at Huo Beichen's confident face, Mu Ningxi felt unhappy.

Why should her life be arranged by him?

"Do you still want to go back to that person?" Seeing that Mu Ningxi was hesitant to express her opinion, a trace of hostility flashed in Huo Beichen's eyes.

Mu Ningxi immediately shook her head and denied it: "How could that be? I don't have any feelings for that person anymore."

Huo Beichen's frown suddenly relaxed.

If Mu Ningxi had dared to say "yes" just now, Huo Beichen wouldn't mind using some tricks to make her sober up. This has nothing to do with feelings, but is about his dignity.

How could Huo Beichen tolerate his wife abandoning him for another man?

"In that case, then live a good life with me, Mu Ningxi. At this time, divorce will do you more harm than good." Huo Beichen's voice returned to its previous calmness.

His words made Mu Ningxi fall silent.

Huo Beichen was right. Divorcing at this time would not do her any good.

"Mr. Huo, we can continue this marriage, but I still mean what I said before. We are just nominal husband and wife, partners, and we cannot interfere with each other's lives. I hope that things like last night will not happen again."

After thinking for a moment, Mu Ningxi expressed his attitude.

It turned out that she was bothered by what I did to her last night and was finding different ways to talk about it.

Huo Beichen misunderstood Mu Ningxi's original intention of filing for divorce.

"Of course, I won't do that again if you don't want to." Huo Beichen responded with a faint smile.

Mu Ningxi was very satisfied with his straightforward attitude. She did not notice the deeper meaning in Huo Beichen's words.

Looking at Mu Ningxi who was showing a satisfied smile, Huo Beichen thought to himself, if you did it voluntarily, then my doing that wouldn't be considered as going back on my word.

"Mr. Huo, although you said before that your Huo family has an ancestral precept that you can't divorce after marriage, people's minds will change. Besides, we are just a cooperative relationship. If you meet someone you really like one day, tell me and I will never pester you."

In one go, Mu Ningxi finished speaking what was in her mind.

"Are you leaving yourself a way out?" When asking this, Huo Beichen's tone became cold again.

Mu Ningxi said frankly: "I am leaving a way out for both of us. Sometimes, the development of things is beyond our control. Don't be so sure now. I also want to tell you that I am not the kind of woman who will pester you for money. As long as you ask, I will definitely leave."

"Since I am willing to marry you, I have never thought of betraying you, so keep your escape route for yourself and don't involve me."

Huo Beichen's tone became colder and colder.

I'm doing this for your own good. If you don't appreciate it, then forget it.

Mu Ningxi glanced at Huo Beichen and turned her head to the window.

For someone of your status, even if you don't take the initiative to like someone, others will not let you go. Huo Beichen, facing those temptations, how can you not be tempted?

If that's the case, how can you be faithful to one person?

Mu Ningxi didn't believe what Huo Beichen had just said at all.

Meng Tianbo had said something similar to her before, but the result was...

Mu Ningxi no longer believes in love. Even in a cooperative relationship like that between her and Huo Beichen, she will still be cautious.

After glancing at Mu Ningxi who had her back to him, Huo Beichen once again turned his gaze to the documents in his hand. This time, he simply couldn't focus on them.

Why would you say that to her?

Why did he lie to her? Would the Huo family have such ancestral precepts?

Why do I feel a little unhappy and unwilling to divorce her when I hear her say she wants a divorce?

Huo Beichen was a little confused about his own abnormality.

I haven't gotten over my grandfather's problem yet, so I can't divorce her at this time.

If you divorce at this time, and then find another person, you will have to slowly get to know each other, which is very troublesome.

Moreover, it is not easy to find someone like Mu Ningxi who is capable and has no ambition for my money.

After thinking for a while, Huo Beichen finally figured out why he did not agree to divorce Mu Ningxi.

After thinking it through, Huo Beichen felt relieved.

The car quickly drove into the city.

"I have something else to do, you can take a taxi to the company." Huo Beichen ordered Lao Huang to park the car on the side of the road and asked Mu Ningxi to get out.

Mu Ningxi nodded to Huo Beichen, opened the door and walked out.

"Young Master, aren't we going to the company too? Why don't you let the Young Madam go with us?" Old Huang was a little confused about Huo Beichen's behavior.

Since we are all going to the Huo family, why can't we give the young lady a ride on the way?

Staring at Lao Huang in the driver's seat, Huo Beichen said in a cold tone: "I don't mind if you turn around now and pick her up."

Frightened by his tone, Lao Huang realized that he had just spoken out of turn.

"Also, keep your mouth shut. I don't want other people in the Huo family to know my identity before the handover." Huo Beichen's cold warning sounded again.

Old Huang nodded vigorously.

When I saw the young lady appear in the villa in the morning, I thought she already knew the identity of the young master, but I didn't expect that the young master continued to hide it from the young lady.

Not only did the young master hide the truth from the young mistress, but even the people in the Huo company didn't know him, the new president who was about to take office. Why did the young master do this?

Feeling depressed, Old Huang sent Huo Beichen to the underground parking lot of Huo's Group. After watching the young master take his special elevator upstairs, Old Huang hurriedly drove away.

Huo Beichen had previously instructed that in order not to attract other people's attention, he should wait until Lao Huang got off the car and then leave quickly.

Mu Ningxi, who had just got off a taxi, saw a car driving out of the underground parking lot and was secretly surprised. Why did that car look like Huo Beichen's?

What was he thinking? Why did he come to Huo's? Mu Ningxi, who couldn't remember the license plate, looked at the car going away for a moment and put the matter out of her mind.

Soon after entering the office, Mu Ningxi received an order from the president's office: the company parachuted in a vice president in charge of sales, Zhou Yifan, as the marketing director. The company asked Mu Ningxi to assist him in understanding Huo's current sales share in the market and to take President Zhou to familiarize himself with the major stores in Beijing in which Huo's had a stake.

After receiving the new task, Mu Ningxi became busier than before. In the next two days, she and Huo Beichen did not meet, and they had no contact on the phone.

At noon on the third day, Mu Ningxi, who was having lunch, looked at the number on her mobile phone and remembered that she had a husband.

"Mr. Huo, what do you want to talk to me about?" Mu Ningxi asked in a low voice as he picked up his phone and walked to a corner of the cafeteria.

The volume of her voice made Huo Beichen feel unhappy that the other party answered his call as if she was a thief. He deliberately chose to contact her during lunch break. Why did she have to be so cautious, afraid that others would know that he called her?

"It's not me who's looking for you, it's Zihao who wants to see you." Thinking of this, Huo Beichen spoke in a somewhat impolite tone.

I didn't provoke you, why are you talking so harshly?

Suppressing the dissatisfaction in his heart, Mu Ningxi said frankly: "The company has assigned me a new task in the next two days. I don't have time to see Zihao for the time being. Mr. Huo, please explain to Zihao. I will go to see him immediately after I finish my work."

After she reminded him, Huo Beichen remembered that Mu Ningxi was going to assist Zhou Yifan, and this task was just assigned by him.

Huo Beichen, who always put work first, did not force it.

Two days later, Huo Beichen called again.

"Zihao is clamoring to see you. No matter how I try to persuade him, it's useless. I'll ask Lao Huang to wait for you outside the Huo's Building after get off work." Huo Beichen told Mu Ningxi his arrangements in one breath, without giving her any chance to refuse.

"Mr. Huo, can you wait in the small garden in front of my company?" Hearing Huo Beichen's urgent words, Mu Ningxi realized that Zihao must be making a big fuss. She did not refuse again, but put forward her own request.

After realizing why Mu Ningxi made such a request, Huo Beichen readily agreed.

After get off work, Mu Ningxi quickly came to the place they had agreed on, opened the car door, and saw Huo Beichen sitting inside.

Mu Ningxi nodded slightly at him and sat down.

The car drove towards the villa halfway up the mountain. Unlike that morning, this time, neither of them spoke.

Arriving at Huo Beichen's house, Mu Ningxi began to understand why Zheng Zihao was so anxious to see her. Huo Beichen's parents were not at home, and Zihao probably didn't dare to be alone with this cold-faced uncle, so he was looking forward to her going to play with him.

"My mom has always wanted to travel around the world. While they are still in good health, my dad wants to fulfill her wish." At the side, Huo Beichen casually explained the reason why his parents were not at home.

Mu Ningxi found this explanation a little hard to accept. Don’t they know the situation of her grandson? How could they still be in the mood to travel?

But she couldn't blame Huo Beichen's parents for this matter. Everyone had different ideas, and she had no right to condemn them.

"Auntie, come to my room, I have something good to show you." Seeing Mu Ningxi coming, Zheng Zihao became excited and was willing to speak.

Holding Zheng Zihao's hand, the two disappeared in front of Huo Beichen.

"Zihao is asleep?" After accompanying Zheng Zihao to play, eat, and bathe, Mu Ningxi finally coaxed him to sleep. As soon as she walked out of Zheng Zihao's room, she met Huo Beichen who came out and asked indifferently.

Mu Ningxi nodded, smiling: "Mr. Huo, can you arrange a car to take me home?"

"Isn't this your home?" Looking at Mu Ningxi, Huo Beichen curled his lips and smiled softly.
