When I returned to the living room, Huo Beichen was sitting on the sofa and talking on the phone.

Looking at the confident and handsome face holding the phone, Mu Ningxi sat down on the chair next to him without making any noise.

No wonder people say that men at work are the most attractive. Huo Beichen now has smooth neck lines and his Adam's apple expands and contracts when he speaks, like a charming scenery.

Mu Ningxi felt it was a pleasure to just look at him quietly.

Perhaps sensing that Mu Ningxi's gaze was on him, Huo Beichen turned sideways while speaking. Mu Ningxi didn't have time to look away, and her eyes met his.

Being caught, Mu Ningxi smiled at him slightly awkwardly.

Huo Beichen smiled back and waved at Mu Ningxi with his free hand.

Mu Ningxi pointed at herself in confusion, and Huo Beichen nodded while talking on the phone.

Frowning, Mu Ningxi stood up and walked towards Huo Beichen. She thought that he wanted to tell her to do something.

As she walked over, Huo Beichen pointed to the seat next to him and motioned for her to sit down.

Not knowing what happened, Mu Ningxi stood there without moving.

Before she knew it, Huo Beichen actually reached out his hand and pulled her to sit next to him.

Mu Ningxi was about to open her mouth to refute when she heard Huo Beichen speaking a series of data into the phone.

It feels very important.

Mu Ningxi thought about it and sat down quietly without disturbing Huo Beichen who was talking on the phone.

Seeing Mu Ningxi quiet down, Huo Beichen curled the corners of his lips slightly and continued the conversation. He did not take away the hand that he had just held on Mu Ningxi.

Feeling her hand being gently stroked by Huo Beichen, Mu Ningxi was stunned at first, and then she struggled.

After struggling several times in vain, Mu Ningxi gave up and let Huo Beichen's hand gently rub her hand.

In fact, it felt good when he touched me like this.

Mu Ningxi was a little surprised when she realized her true thoughts.

Could it be that I have been in contact with Huo Beichen more during this period and have slowly begun to accept him?

Sitting aside, Mu Ningxi quietly thought about the changes in his heart.

"You look very pretty in this outfit. Wear less professional attire in the future. Don't always make yourself look like a strong woman and keep people away."

Huo Beichen's whisper in her ears made Mu Ningxi withdraw her thoughts.

Who are you to me? What does it have to do with you what I wear? You are so nosy.

"I'm just giving you some well-intentioned advice. If you don't want to accept it, that's fine. But don't be angry." As if he could see through Mu Ningxi's thoughts, Huo Beichen finished speaking and then added.

What he wanted to say was just rebuffed. Mu Ningxi was filled with anger and asked coldly, "Where are we going?"

"You'll know when you get there." Huo Beichen kept it a secret.

The two were about to go out when Huo Beichen's phone rang again. He glanced at Mu Ningxi and picked up the phone.

"Brother Chen, I heard from Brother Shen that you have returned to Beijing. Why didn't you inform me and let your younger brother welcome you?" The speaker was Wang Lei, Huo Beichen's junior when he was in college.

Without waiting for Huo Beichen to speak, Wang Lei continued, "Brother Shen and Brother Rui are both playing in the club I opened. Brother Chen, why don't you just come over now? We'll wait for you."

"I'm busy, let's talk another day." Huo Beichen replied indifferently and hung up the phone.

In the club's private room, holding the phone that Huo Beichen hung up on, Wang Lei looked unwilling: "Why did Brother Chen hang up on me? Did I do something to offend him?"

As a little fan of Huo Beichen, Wang Lei has respected Huo Beichen as his idol since high school. For Huo Beichen's sake, he studied hard during high school and was finally admitted to Peking University where Huo Beichen studied.

After going to college, Wang Lei followed Huo Beichen's lead and never dared to say anything different when the other party said something.

After learning that Huo Beichen had gone abroad, Wang Lei fell seriously ill.

Who would have thought that Huo Beichen did not even notify him after returning to China? That would have been fine, but now that he took the initiative to call Huo Beichen and invited him, the other party actually hung up the phone on him.

The more Wang Lei thought about it, the more confused he became.

Seeing Wang Lei's aggrieved face, Shen Kuo, who was sitting next to him, comforted him: "A Lei, forget it, you know your brother Chen's temper. You can't force him to do something he doesn't want to do."

"That's right, Beichen has that kind of temper. A'lei, don't take it to heart. Maybe he really has something important to do right now. After all, he is an out-and-out workaholic."

Zhong Rui on the side also echoed.

After hearing what the two said, Wang Lei's mood gradually improved.

Sighing, Wang Lei slowly said, "I also know what Brother Chen's temper is like, but I still feel sad when he hung up the phone like this."

After a pause, Wang Lei continued, "I feel that Brother Chen's temper has become worse after not seeing him for so many years."

Shen Kuo and Zhong Rui looked at each other and nodded silently. It was not getting worse, but getting weirder and weirder.

He got married without saying a word, and the other party was a woman he had never met before. I really don't know what Beichen was thinking.

Even if it was for revenge on Zhang Mengmeng, he wouldn't risk his whole life.

Shen Kuo and Zhong Rui stopped talking, each of them guessing in their hearts the real intention of Huo Beichen's marriage.

Without Huo Beichen's permission, they didn't dare tell Wang Lei about his secret marriage.

The originally lively atmosphere became a little dull because of Huo Beichen.

Huo Beichen, who was the fuse, had no idea what was happening. At this moment, he was driving a black Volkswagen, taking Mu Ningxi away from the villa and speeding away.
