Hearing this, Mu Ningxi habitually looked behind the door. She felt relieved when she saw that the door had been closed when she came in.

But Mu Ningxi's subconscious action made Huo Beichen very unhappy. He looked at her and his tone became colder than before: "Why are you so worried? Are you afraid of being seen by others in your office?"

"I don't want to cause misunderstandings." Mu Ningxi responded, also looking at Huo Beichen.

"What misunderstanding? Our relationship is normal. What's there to misunderstanding?" Huo Beichen continued to ask unhappily.

He was the one who said he wanted to have a secret marriage before, and he was also the one who went back on his word later. Meeting a man like Huo Beichen who changes his mind three times a day, Mu Ningxi felt a little speechless.

"The tulips are beautiful." Staring at the bouquet of tulips in Huo Beichen's hand, Mu Ningxi immediately changed the subject.

Hearing Mu Ningxi say this, Huo Beichen remembered the flowers in his hand and handed them to Mu Ningxi. He casually asked, "I heard that many people gave you flowers during this period?"

Seeing that Huo Beichen seemed to be jealous, Mu Ningxi suddenly got playful and said, "It's indeed a bit too much. They not only sent flowers, but also a lot of snacks. I almost couldn't fit them all in my office."

Mu Ningxi's words made Huo Beichen feel even more uncomfortable. It seemed that what A Kun said before was true. This woman was indeed very popular in the company.

No, we can’t let this situation continue. We must deal with Grandpa and Mom as soon as possible.

Huo Beichen thought silently in his heart.

Without Mu Ningxi getting the approval of Mr. Huo and Mrs. Huo, Huo Beichen did not want to make their relationship public for the time being.

His idea coincided with Mu Ningxi's, so the two of them did not mention making their relationship public during this period.

"Oh, what snacks do you have? Take them out and let me see." Looking at Mu Ningxi's shining eyes, Huo Beichen instantly felt as if he was being teased by her. He asked in a gentle tone.

Seeing that Huo Beichen didn't seem to be fooled and was not angered by her words at all, Mu Ningxi was a little disappointed. She reached out to take the flowers from Huo Beichen's hand and responded:

"They are just some small snacks like chocolate and cake. I am worried that I will get fat if I eat them, so I have shared them with others."

"Wife, these people are deliberately framing you. They send you those things just to make you fat. Don't fall for their trick."

Mu Ningxi's words helped Huo Beichen find a breakthrough. He used this as an excuse to admonish Mu Ningxi earnestly.

Looking at Huo Beichen's serious expression when he said this, Mu Ningxi couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"I'm telling the truth, why are you laughing?" Huo Beichen was a little confused by Mu Ningxi's smile, he asked.

"Huo Beichen, why is it so difficult for you to admit that you are jealous?" Mu Ningxi stared at Huo Beichen without blinking and asked.

Hearing Mu Ningxi say this, Huo Beichen was stunned at first, then he affirmed: "Indeed, I am just jealous. I just don't want to hear that someone is pursuing you. So what?"

"Not very good, but I'm happy to hear that you are willing to be jealous of me." Mu Ningxi felt very satisfied when Huo Beichen admitted for the first time that he was jealous of her.

"Were you deliberately provoking me with those words just now?" Huo Beichen reacted and asked.

Putting the flowers in her hand into the vase, Mu Ningxi turned around, looked at Huo Beichen, and nodded gently.

Seeing this, Huo Beichen stepped forward and hugged Mu Ningxi. Regardless of her struggle, he gave her a passionate kiss on the lips.

"This is an office, please be careful of the impact." Amid Mu Ningxi's constant persuasion, Huo Beichen ended the kiss.

Mu Ningxi wiped off the lipstick that Huo Beichen had kissed on her face, and said unhappily, "I will never let you enter my office again."

"Then go ahead and try it." Having just taken advantage, Huo Beichen responded in a happy tone.

Realizing that what she had just said had absolutely no weight on Huo Beichen, Mu Ningxi looked at him angrily without saying a word.

"I heard from A Kun that there was a man named Zhang Yong eating with you in the cafeteria before?" Huo Beichen asked after both parties calmed down.

Mu Ningxi nodded and told Huo Beichen everything that Zhang Yong had said before without hiding anything.

"So what are you going to do? Do you need me to step in?" After listening to Mu Ningxi's story, Huo Beichen asked.

Huo Beichen was worried that Mu Ningxi would have a hard time with this kind of thing which involved transferring personnel between departments.

"Not for now. I believe I can handle it." Staring at Huo Beichen, Mu Ningxi answered confidently.

Although Mu Ningxi knew that Wang Li was not easy to deal with, she had not thought of relying on Huo Beichen's help. If she couldn't even solve such a small problem, how could she solve bigger problems in the future?

Huo Beichen nodded and said frankly: "I believe in your ability, do it according to your own ideas, but if you really encounter any problems, you must tell me and let me help you solve them."

Knowing that Huo Beichen was worried about her, Mu Ningxi nodded with relief, and then asked, "I heard that Wang Li's family seems to have some connection with your grandfather. Is it true?"

"We are just old classmates. Wang Li's grandmother and my grandfather are old classmates. It's not a very special relationship. Just go ahead and do it. If there is any problem, I will cover you from behind."

Understanding what Mu Ningxi meant by asking this question, Huo Beichen gave her a reassurance.

"So that's how it is. From what Wang Li said before, I thought their family really had some kind of remarkable relationship with your grandfather."

Mu Ningxi nodded and responded to Huo Beichen.

With Huo Beichen's words, Mu Ningxi became more clear about what to do next.

"That Wang Li is a hopeless person. My grandfather did take extra care of her because he and her grandmother were old classmates, but she had no ability and could only become a sales manager at best."

Huo Beichen continued to explain to Mu Ningxi.

"The sales manager position is a lucrative one in Huo's company, and many people want to take that position." Mu Ningxi reminded Huo Beichen.

"Don't worry, she doesn't have the guts to cheat the Huo family out of their money. At most, she can only take advantage of the Huo family, but she won't be able to achieve anything big."

Knowing what Mu Ningxi meant, Huo Beichen said confidently.

He is Huo Beichen, how could he let outsiders take advantage of the Huo family?

Huo Beichen's words made Mu Ningxi realize that she was worrying too much. Huo Beichen must have already thought of the problems she could think of, and had already found out whether the company was doing something behind the scenes that was detrimental to the Huo family.

"It's a good idea to take action against Wang Li at this time. My grandfather has become a little confused in recent years. He has been selling favors to his friends and recruiting some incompetent people into the company."

"My father has always been very filial to my grandfather. Although he was dissatisfied with his behavior, he couldn't say anything. This is why my father called me back from abroad."

"He's worried that the Huo Group won't be able to survive for a few more years because of the mess my grandfather has made." For the first time, Huo Beichen explained to Mu Ningxi why he was doing well abroad but was willing to give up everything and come back to inherit the Huo Group.

Hearing Huo Beichen say this, Mu Ningxi felt a little sorry for him. President Huo couldn't deal with his father, so he could only let his son come back to help him solve this problem.

Huo Beichen would definitely feel uncomfortable if he were to go against his grandfather who loved him so much.

"No matter what you do, I will support you." Mu Ningxi promised, patting Huo Beichen's shoulder gently.

Huo Beichen nodded and sighed, "Don't worry, I know what to do. You don't need to worry about me. If you really want to help me, please turn off the lights in your office."
