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

Mu Ningxi nodded slightly, and then seemed to think of something, and asked, "I remember your previous information showed that you also graduated from Beijing University."

Huo Beichen nodded and smiled meaningfully: "I didn't expect that we have this kind of relationship. So, I am still your senior brother."

"Senior brother, according to our ages, when I was a freshman, you were a senior." Mu Ningxi counted with his fingers and responded.

Huo Beichen nodded again without thinking too much about Mu Ningxi's words.

What he was thinking about now was, when a beauty like Mu Ningxi came to the school, why did he have no impression of her when she was in school? And with Shen Kuo's love of discovering beautiful women, why had he never heard him mention her before?

This really shouldn't be the case.

"Why haven't I seen you at school before?" Huo Beichen was very confused about this question.

Mu Ningxi smiled faintly and said, "Peking University is so big, how can you know everyone?"

"But you are different." Huo Beichen blurted out.

The next second, under Mu Ningxi's stunned expression, Huo Beichen explained: "What I mean is, a girl as beautiful as you can't help but attract other people's attention."

His explanation made Mu Ningxi's smile a little embarrassed: "At that time, I only knew how to study hard and rarely participated in various activities held by the school. I usually went between school and home. It was understandable that I didn't attract anyone's attention."

Since her parents passed away, Mu Ningxi's personality has become very lonely and cold, and she has no other good friends around her except Wang Luyao.

Moreover, she knew from a very young age that she was engaged to Meng Tianbo. Mu Ningxi was usually very careful about her words and actions. Generally speaking, she tried not to have too much contact with male classmates to avoid gossip and make things difficult for her grandfather.

Over time, it is normal for her classmates to treat her as an invisible person.

Mu Ningxi didn't care about this. That situation would be more conducive for her to study well.

At that time, Mu Ningxi had very simple ideas. She was wholeheartedly thinking about joining Meng's company after graduating from university and using what she had learned to help Meng Tianbo get what belonged to him.

Unexpectedly, after she worked so hard to help Meng Tianbo gain Meng Xianzhang's trust and helped him become the chairman of Meng Group, the other party would treat her like this in the end.

Seeing Mu Ningxi fell into deep thought after she finished speaking, Huo Beichen thought about it and his face turned cold.

Why do you still think about other men when you are with me, Mu Ningxi, where do you put me, your husband?

Although there was no love between the two, Huo Beichen could not tolerate Mu Ningxi thinking about someone else in front of him because of his male pride.

"Mu Ningxi, I'm talking to you, don't be distracted." Huo Beichen called her name dissatisfiedly.

Mu Ningxi came back to her senses after being called out by him. She stared at Huo Beichen and said in confusion, "I am unknown, so it is understandable that you have never seen me before. But you are so outstanding. How come I have never seen you before in school?"

"When I was a senior, I had already started a business. I had nothing to do and rarely went to school." Huo Beichen described his situation back then.

That was indeed the case at the time, but Huo Beichen would not tell Mu Ningxi another reason why he seldom went to school.

It’s really amazing that he started his own business in his senior year.

After hearing what Huo Beichen said, Mu Ningxi looked at him, with admiration in her eyes that could not be hidden.

Mu Ningxi has always admired capable people.

Looking directly at Mu Ningxi's eyes, Huo Beichen felt a little smug.

Mu Ningxi's reaction satisfied Huo Beichen's vanity greatly, and his previous unhappiness disappeared without a trace.

Looking at the look in Huo Beichen's eyes, Mu Ningxi instantly remembered that night in his bedroom. Huo Beichen also looked at her with the same eyes at first, and then...

Recalling this, alarm bells started ringing in Mu Ningxi's mind, and she quickly turned her head away to avoid making eye contact with Huo Beichen.

Seeing Mu Ningxi turning her head away, Huo Beichen was a little surprised. He didn't understand what he had just done that made her wary of him. Just as he was about to ask, he heard a loud "bang".

The next second, Mu Ningxi let out a hissing sound.

Huo Beichen looked up and saw that Mu Ningxi's exposed arm was bleeding. He hurriedly stepped forward, held her arm and examined it carefully.

There was a cut on Mu Ningxi's arm, and blood was flowing out from there.

Looking in the direction where the sound came from, there was a large stone lying in the middle of the kitchen. There were a lot of broken glass shards next to the stone. Mu Ningxi's arm was scratched by these splashed glass shards.

"Aunt Mu, I'm scared!" Zheng Zihao, who was sitting in the living room watching TV, heard the voice and ran nervously from the living room to the dining room, shouting as he ran.

Seeing Zheng Zihao about to pounce on Mu Ningxi, Huo Beichen pulled him back and said in a deep voice: "Aunt Mu is injured."

After hearing what Huo Beichen said, Zheng Zihao saw clearly that Mu Ningxi's arm was bleeding, and he burst into tears.

"Zihao, don't be afraid, Auntie is fine, uncle will protect us." Covering the wound with her hand, Mu Ningxi had no way to reach out to comfort Zheng Zihao, so she could only persuade him.

Hearing Mu Ningxi say this, Huo Beichen looked at her with a gleam in his eyes.

It turns out that in her heart, he is someone who can protect her.

Ah Kun and several of his men, who were waiting outside, heard the noise and knocked on the door. Ah Kun asked anxiously, "Master, what happened?"

Letting Zheng Zihao go, Huo Beichen walked over quickly and opened the door.

"Go get the medicine box." Huo Beichen immediately gave orders when he saw A Kun.

A Kun nodded, turned his head and looked around the living room, then walked towards where he thought the medicine box would be.

While A Kun was looking for the medicine box, Huo Beichen ordered several of his men to go to the kitchen and move the big stone away.

"Master, I'll send someone to check the surveillance right away." After handing the medicine box to Huo Beichen, A Kun had already realized what had happened.

"The kitchen is behind the alley, a bit remote, and usually few people pass by. The municipal company did not install surveillance at that time." Mu Ningxi, who was sitting on the sofa bandaging her wound, heard A Kun's words and quickly reminded him.

"When we replaced the cameras and street lights before, I had them install the camera at that location." Huo Beichen explained while bandaging Mu Ningxi's wound.

Did he arrange for people to replace the cameras and street lights?

Thinking of the cameras and street lights that had been replaced not long ago, Mu Ningxi realized that he had done all of this privately. She had previously thought that it was the municipal company that replaced them.

"Mr. Huo, thank you." After figuring it all out, Mu Ningxi looked at Huo Beichen and said thank you sincerely.

Huo Beichen responded calmly: "This is what I should do."

Mu Ningxi glanced at him and looked away.

Zheng Zihao, who was curled up on the other end of the sofa, felt that there was something wrong with what his uncle and Aunt Mu said, but at his current age, he was not able to think deeply about it.
