After washing up in the bathroom, Mu Ningxi walked to the cloakroom and looked for suitable clothes to wear today.

"The weather today is not very cold, why do you want to wear a scarf?" When Mu Ningxi came out of the cloakroom, Huo Beichen looked at the scarf around her neck and asked puzzledly.

Mu Ningxi rolled her eyes at him and said unhappily, "How dare you ask? This is all your fault."

After hearing this, Huo Beichen frowned and thought for a moment, then instantly realized what had happened. He walked up to Mu Ningxi and flattered her, "Wife, I'll be careful next time."

"Who wants to have a future with you?" Mu Ningxi, who was already angry, continued to be impolite when she heard Huo Beichen say this.

Knowing that she was just speaking in anger, Huo Beichen didn't care and said, "Didn't you just complain that you were hungry? Why don't you go downstairs and eat something?"

Seeing that Huo Beichen was trying to save face for both of them, Mu Ningxi did not continue to dwell on the previous topic. She nodded at Huo Beichen, and the two of them walked out of the bedroom one after the other.

Seeing the two of them coming downstairs together, Aunt Qin said with a smile: "Master, Madam, I will ask someone to bring the food up right away."

After saying that, Aunt Qin ran towards the kitchen.

After a while, several steaming dishes were brought to the table by the servants. Huo Beichen took Mu Ningxi to the table and sat down to eat.

"Young Madam, this bird's nest was sent by Miss Jingjing two days ago." Aunt Qin, who was standing by, saw Mu Ningxi holding up the bird's nest and preparing to drink it, so she hurriedly explained.

"She still has some conscience." Huo Beichen spoke first as Aunt Qin had just finished speaking.

"What do you mean by saying that? It's as if Jingjing should have sent me bird's nest." Mu Ningxi was a little dissatisfied with Huo Beichen's tone.

"You've helped her so much, shouldn't you give her some bird's nest?" Huo Beichen looked at Mu Ningxi and asked with a smile.

"What did Brother Yu tell you?" Although Mu Ningxi had mentioned to Huo Beichen before about his talk with Cheng Jingjing, Mu Ningxi did not tell Huo Beichen about the subsequent development of the matter. Now hearing him say this, Mu Ningxi keenly realized that Zhao Yu must have said something to Huo Beichen in private, which is why he said this now.

"He said he was very grateful to you. It was you who gave him the opportunity to live in peace with Jingjing, and brought their relationship closer."

"He also said that he would treat you to a meal when the time is right to express his gratitude to you." Huo Beichen relayed what Zhao Yu said to Mu Ningxi.

"What's the big deal? Jingjing and Brother Yu are both my friends. Of course I wish them well. This is what I should do."

"If you really want to treat me to a meal, then wait until they get married and treat me to their wedding." Mu Ningxi said at the end, and began to look forward to the scene when Cheng Jingjing and Zhao Yu got married.

"If nothing unexpected happens, your wish will come true soon." Huo Beichen thought about the Zhao family and assured confidently.

Mu Ningxi looked at Huo Beichen, asking him what he meant with her eyes.

"Zhao Yu's grandfather's health has been deteriorating recently. He has been looking forward to seeing Zhao Yu get married before he passes away. I think that in order to fulfill the old man's wish, the Zhao family might urge Jingjing and her husband to get married as soon as possible."

At the end, Huo Beichen sighed softly.

Mu Ningxi nodded in agreement and said frankly: "In fact, they have a very good relationship now, so getting married at this time is a natural outcome."

"I just wonder if Zhao Yu, that stupid guy, will seize this opportunity and marry Jingjing as soon as possible to avoid any more trouble."

Huo Beichen continued.

"Brother Yu is honest, not the stupid one you say. Besides, Brother Yu didn't use Grandpa Zhao's illness to force Jingjing. He must be hoping that she can marry him willingly."

"Brother Yu's behavior is that of a true gentleman." At the end, Mu Ningxi's tone was full of admiration for Zhao Yu.

Huo Beichen felt uncomfortable when he heard Mu Ningxi praising Zhao Yu so much. He looked at Mu Ningxi and said faintly, "According to you, Zhao Yu is a true gentleman, and I, Huo Beichen, am an out-and-out villain."

Mu Ningxi could hear the strong jealousy in Huo Beichen's words and hurriedly defended herself, "I didn't say that, don't misunderstand me."

After saying that, seeing that Huo Beichen was still frowning, Mu Ningxi continued to express her opinion: "In my heart, my husband, you are a true gentleman."

"The truth?" Huo Beichen asked back in disbelief.

Mu Ningxi looked at Huo Beichen with a pair of sparkling eyes and nodded vigorously: "Of course it's the truth. You know I won't lie to you."

Huo Beichen looked at Mu Ningxi, a smile appeared on his face and he said, "I believe you this time."

After dinner, Huo Beichen took Mu Ningxi for a walk in the garden and told her what he had not told her last night.

"You said Lian Yiyi and her grandfather moved to live with grandpa?" After listening to Huo Beichen's story, Mu Ningxi asked, wanting to confirm this matter again.

Huo Beichen nodded and explained: "I was afraid that you would think too much, so I didn't intend to tell you. I didn't know about this matter beforehand. If I knew they would do this, I would definitely not let them do it."

"Your grandfather is the one who makes the decisions at the old house. Even if you know, what can you do? You should not let this matter affect your relationship with your grandfather."

Mu Ningxi said sympathetically.

"Wife, aren't you angry?" Seeing Mu Ningxi's calm reaction, Huo Beichen asked in confusion.

"You've already said that you didn't know about it beforehand and that everything was decided by grandpa. Why should I be angry with you?" Mu Ningxi asked with a smile.

"I knew that my wife is the most righteous person." Huo Beichen felt very relieved to hear Mu Ningxi say this. He held Mu Ningxi in his arms and said with a smile.

"However, it's not a good idea for them to keep living with Grandpa like this. What are you going to do next?"

Mu Ningxi knew that if Huo Beichen did not step forward to resolve the matter, Lian Yiyi and her grandchildren would definitely not move out. In this way, outsiders would definitely think that the Huo family would still marry into the Lian family.

Putting aside the feelings, such a result will bring considerable benefits to the Lian family.

Although she knew very well that Huo Beichen had no feelings for Lian Yiyi, Mu Ningxi did not want to see Lian Yiyi taking advantage of her.

"Don't worry, I have made arrangements." Knowing what Mu Ningxi was thinking, Huo Beichen said confidently.

Then, Huo Beichen told Mu Ningxi about his plan.

"Will your grandfather be unhappy if you do this?" Mu Ningxi asked worriedly after hearing Huo Beichen's arrangements.

"He forced me to do this, and this time, I want to make the old man understand who is currently in charge of the Huo family. He no longer has the ability to control me."

Huo Beichen responded confidently.

After saying that, Huo Beichen saw that Mu Ningxi was still worried, and comforted her: "Don't worry, I will know my limits and will not hurt Grandpa."

Knowing that the problem could only be solved with the method Huo Beichen had just mentioned, Mu Ningxi nodded helplessly and said no more.

The two continued walking for a while, and then Mu Ningxi's cell phone rang. She glanced at the caller ID and happily picked up the phone: "Zihao, what do you want from me?"
