"It's nothing, Ningxi, don't worry, I'm just expressing my feelings." Hearing that Mu Ningxi was a little anxious, Cheng Jingjing quickly changed the topic.

Although Cheng Jingjing said this, Mu Ningxi always felt that things were not that simple. She thought about it and said, "Are you free at noon? Let's have lunch together."

"If you ask me out, I will squeeze it out even if I don't have time." Hearing Mu Ningxi take the initiative to ask her out for lunch, Cheng Jingjing said with a smile.

Mu Ningxi quickly agreed with Cheng Jingjing on a place to have lunch, completely forgetting the message Huo Beichen had just sent on WeChat.

When Huo Beichen called Mu Ningxi's office and asked her to come upstairs for lunch, he learned from Mu Ningxi's secretary that Mu Ningxi had left the company for more than half an hour.

"Did Director Mu tell her where she was going in the middle of the day?" Huo Beichen was very unhappy when he thought about being stood up by Mu Ningxi, and his tone of voice was a bit cold.

The secretary was frightened by Huo Beichen's tone, and responded tremblingly on the phone: "Director Mu didn't say, but she has an appointment with Mr. Liu Xiwen today. I don't know if they are having lunch together."

After hearing what the secretary said, Huo Beichen hung up the phone immediately.

What's going on with Mr. Huo? He came downstairs to see Director Mu in person before, and today he even called the office. Why do these two people feel weird?

The secretary had never received a call from Huo Beichen on the office phone, and she couldn't understand his behavior.

Huo Beichen had no choice but to call the office landline after failing to get through to Mu Ningxi's cell phone.

Why does it feel like she, as a director, is busier than me, the president? Shouldn't I put so many things on her alone?

After hanging up the phone, Huo Beichen began to reflect seriously.

After thinking about it, Huo Beichen called Mu Ningxi again, and this time, the call was connected.

"Sorry, I forgot about the appointment with you when I made an appointment with Jingjing just now." Seeing that it was Huo Beichen calling, Mu Ningxi remembered her previous conversation with Huo Beichen. She hurriedly apologized on the phone.

"Are you going to have dinner with Jingjing?" Huo Beichen asked when he heard Cheng Jingjing's name.

"Well, I felt that Jingjing was worried when I called her, so I asked her out for dinner. I'm driving now, and I'll tell you in detail when I come back." Mu Ningxi hung up the phone in a hurry because he didn't want to affect his driving.

Huo Beichen started to eat lunch only after learning about Mu Ningxi's whereabouts.

While they were eating, A Kun came in and reported: "Master, Miss Lian is downstairs now. She said she wanted to see you."

"Miss Lian, which Miss Lian?" Hearing A Kun's words, Huo Beichen frowned and asked.

Seeing that Huo Beichen didn't seem to be pretending and that he really didn't remember who Miss Lian was, A Kun quickly explained, "It's Lian Yiyi, the eldest daughter of the Lian family."

After a pause, worried that Huo Beichen hadn't remembered yet, A Kun added: "It's the one you were engaged to before."

"From now on, don't mention my engagement with other people again, especially in front of the young lady." A Kun's direct confrontation caused Huo Beichen to be deeply dissatisfied.

A Kun nodded speechlessly and thought silently in his heart: If I don’t say this, you won’t be able to remember who he is, and then you blame me. I’m really pitiful.

"Master, she is still waiting downstairs, look..." After waiting for a while and seeing no response from Huo Beichen, A Kun urged.

"That's her business. What does it have to do with me?" Huo Beichen rolled his eyes at A Kun and said indifferently.

I thought the young master and the young mistress would be more humane after being together, but I didn't expect that they were still as mean to others as before.

However, the young master did change. At least when facing the young mistress, he became very gentle.

After hearing what Huo Beichen said, A Kun felt speechless again.

After understanding Huo Beichen's intention, A Kun prepared to find a reason to send Lian Yiyi away. Making her wait downstairs all the time would not be good for Lian Yiyi and would also affect the reputation of the Huo family.

"A Kun, has something happened in the old house these days that I don't know about?" Huo Beichen suddenly asked as he looked at A Kun who was about to turn around and leave.

Hearing Huo Beichen's question, A Kun turned around hurriedly, stood in front of Huo Beichen, and answered respectfully: "Two days ago, Mr. Lian brought Miss Lian to visit again. According to the servants at the old house, they had a good chat with the old man. Before leaving, the old man gave Miss Lian a gift."

"I see." After hearing what A Kun said, Huo Beichen understood clearly.

It's ridiculous that even my family thought that they could make me change my mind if they could deal with the old man.

Lian Yiyi, from the day you decided not to show up at the Civil Affairs Bureau, there was no possibility for you and me to be together. You brought all of this upon yourself, you can't blame anyone else.

"Master, I also heard that after the Lian family left, the old man called the master, and they seemed to be very unhappy on the phone."

"The master seemed to be advising the old man on the phone not to interfere in your private affairs." A Kun remembered the gossip he had heard before and told Huo Beichen about it.

Huo Beichen nodded but did not respond.

Dad must have persuaded Grandpa only after he found out that I was married to Ning Xi. It seems that in this family, Dad is the only one willing to acknowledge Ning Xi's identity.

Thinking of Huo's mother's attitude towards Mu Ningxi before, Huo Beichen no longer had the mood to eat.

It is really a long way to go to get mom and grandpa to accept Ning Xi.

Seeing Huo Beichen's expression becoming somewhat solemn, A Kun knew that he was thinking about something, so he left quietly without disturbing Huo Beichen.

"What did you say? Your President Huo doesn't want to see me?" Lian Yiyi asked in disbelief after hearing the receptionist's reply.

The receptionist looked at Lian Yiyi, who was angry, and said respectfully, "Miss, you need to make an appointment to see our president."

"Did you tell him that it was me, Lian Yiyi, who wanted to see him?" Ignoring the receptionist's kindness, Lian Yiyi looked at the other party and said relentlessly.

The receptionist nodded heavily and responded: "I did tell you the identity of the lady, but the president did not agree to see you."

Huo Beichen, I was just a little bit angry, why did you treat me like this?

Even Grandpa Huo has forgiven me, why can't you forgive me this time?

Huo Beichen, have you really never liked me?

Standing in the hall of Huo's company, Lian Yiyi became angrier and angrier. She took out her cell phone and called Huo Beichen.

After dialing the number, Lian Yiyi discovered that her phone number had been blocked by Huo Beichen.

He actually blocked me, he actually blocked me!

Holding the phone, Lian Yiyi kept repeating this sentence and walked towards the door in a trance.

Outside the Huo's Building, the driver who was waiting for Lian Yiyi saw her like this, and worriedly pulled Lian Yiyi into the car and took her away.

After returning home, Lian Yiyi immediately ran back to her room and closed the door tightly, refusing to open it no matter who called her.
