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

Huo Beichen's slightly joking tone made Mu Ningxi's heart tremble slightly. This person usually looks cold, but why does he always say things that embarrass her?

Staring back at Huo Beichen, Mu Ningxi nodded slightly.

"His name is Zeng Xiaoqiang. His father Zeng Shijin used to be my most capable assistant, but he later betrayed me." Having said this, Huo Beichen seemed to recall some unhappy past events and stopped talking.

Mu Ningxi stared at him silently without saying a word.

Ten seconds later, Huo Beichen continued, "Considering our previous friendship, I did not kill Zeng Shijin, but not long after the incident, he died inexplicably. Now, Zeng Xiaoqiang believed someone's rumor and insisted that I was the one who killed his father, and he wants to seek revenge on me."

"Have you found out who is behind this?" Mu Ningxi asked with concern after hearing what Huo Beichen said.

Huo Beichen shook his head and said frankly: "This person is hiding very deeply. I don't have any clues yet."

Mu Ningxi nodded and continued to ask: "Then how do you plan to deal with Zeng Xiaoqiang?"

"He was also used as a gun by someone. How could I really deal with him? Let him go to the police station and calm down. I need to make a long-term plan for the next matter."

As he spoke, Huo Beichen's brows slowly furrowed.

Knowing that Huo Beichen was troubled by Zeng Xiaoqiang's matter, Mu Ningxi sensibly did not say anything.

"I'm really sorry for hurting you because of me." After calming himself down, Huo Beichen apologized to Mu Ningxi for what had just happened.

Mu Ningxi was about to say that it was nothing, when she heard Huo Beichen continue, "But don't do this again next time. Letting a woman rush to the front to protect me, others will say that I am a coward."

All along, it was always Huo Beichen who protected women, but today it was a woman's turn to protect him. Huo Beichen felt a little uncomfortable.

Recalling Mu Ningxi's unflinching performance just now, Huo Beichen sighed in his heart: What a silly woman.

"The situation was critical just now, and I didn't think too much about it." Hearing Huo Beichen's slightly blaming tone, Mu Ningxi defended herself.

Until this moment, Mu Ningxi still didn't understand why she was so brave just now and didn't care about her own life or death at all.

Listening to Mu Ningxi's heartfelt words, Huo Beichen felt touched. It felt so good to have someone who would risk his life for him.

Huo Beichen, who always believed that he would not be affected by people or things in the outside world, began to waver at this moment because of Mu Ningxi's words.

"Mr. Huo, considering that I was so brave in protecting you, shouldn't you give me a small reward?" Mu Ningxi felt a little embarrassed by Huo Beichen's look and changed the subject.

"Just ask for whatever you want. I'll agree to anything you ask for." Huo Beichen responded readily.

Hearing him say this, Mu Ningxi smiled and said, "Then I want to become the general manager of Huo's entertainment sector. Can Mr. Huo agree to this condition?"

Unexpectedly, the conditions proposed by Mu Ningxi were actually related to work. Huo Beichen was stunned for a moment, then nodded and promised: "Okay, I promise you, I will announce this decision at the morning meeting tomorrow."

"Will this embarrass you? You just let Manager Chen be the general manager not long ago, and now you're changing it. Will people gossip about it?"

Unexpectedly, Huo Beichen agreed so readily. Now it was Mu Ningxi's turn to be a little worried.

"What? You're regretting it right after you proposed the conditions? Why didn't you think it over carefully when you proposed them just now?" Seeing Mu Ningxi's hesitant look, Huo Beichen asked with a smile.

"I don't regret it, I'm just afraid that you will be embarrassed." Looking at Huo Beichen's provocative eyes, Mu Ningxi hit back.

"I'm the president of the company. I can make any decision I want. There's no need to be embarrassed. Don't worry about me." Seeing that Mu Ningxi was really thinking about him, Huo Beichen was in a good mood and began to comfort her.

"Besides, Chen Honggang has long wanted to stop being the general manager. Once I make the announcement tomorrow, he will be the happiest person."

Worried that Mu Ningxi would consider Chen Honggang's feelings again, Huo Beichen told him what he knew.

"He doesn't want to. Since you know he doesn't want to, why did you make that decision before?" Huo Beichen's previous decision has always confused Mu Ningxi. Taking today's opportunity, she just wanted to get to the bottom of it.

"I'm afraid you'll get tired, so I want to find someone to help you share the burden. Given your personality, if you're always the overall person in charge, you definitely won't share the work at hand, so I have no choice but to arrange it that way."

Facing Mu Ningxi's questioning, Huo Beichen told him about his previous considerations.

"Since you know I'm very busy, why do you want me to be your secretary?" This question was also something Mu Ningxi could not understand.

"If you don't become my secretary, it won't be as convenient for you to come out with me as it is now. Besides, you are nominally my secretary, but when have you ever done anything related to being a secretary during this period of time?"

Hearing Mu Ningxi's question, Huo Beichen couldn't help but ask back.

It is true. Although she became Huo Beichen's secretary, Mu Ningxi was still busy with her previous job.

Moreover, with the title of Huo Beichen's secretary, she could accompany Huo Beichen to various occasions without anyone gossiping.

Huo Beichen is really thoughtful and can even think of such details.

Only at this moment did Mu Ningxi understand why Huo Beichen had become the most dazzling star in the circle of wealthy families in Beijing.

With such a meticulous mind, other rich and noble young men can never be compared with him.

While the two were talking, the car had already driven into the hospital parking lot.

After getting off the car, Huo Beichen still carried Mu Ningxi to Zhao Yu's office.

"How did it get so serious?" Taking away the handkerchief that Huo Beichen had bandaged, Zhao Yu looked at Mu Ningxi's still bleeding wound, frowned, and asked.

Huo Beichen glanced at Zhao Yu and did not respond.

Knowing that he didn't want to say, Zhao Yu didn't press him any further and focused on treating Mu Ningxi's wound.

After treating the wound, Mu Ningxi, accompanied by the nurse, went to the bathroom to wash the blood off her body.

"Who did it?" Zhao Yu asked again after Mu Ningxi left.

"Zeng Xiaoqiang." Huo Beichen said a name with a cold face.

"It's that brat again, Beichen. Ning Xi is now in danger. You can't just leave it alone." Upon hearing Zeng Xiaoqiang's name, Zhao Yu's face instantly frowned and he looked at Huo Beichen and said seriously.

Huo Beichen nodded and responded: "I understand. I will definitely handle it and won't let her get hurt again."

"This is the best. Ning Xi's wound is quite deep. She needs to take good care of herself after returning. Otherwise, it will affect her ability to use this hand today."

Zhao Yu nodded and told Huo Beichen what to pay attention to.

After saying this, Zhao Yu thought for a moment and asked, "Beichen, do you know that Ning Xi is investigating the cause of her parents' death?"
