As soon as she walked in, Mu Ningxi felt something was wrong. The furnishings here were completely different from those at Zheng Zihao's place.

Oops, I remembered the direction wrong.

Before going out, she remembered "left side", so when she came back, she should change it to "right side".

Realizing that he had walked into the wrong room, Mu Ningxi hurriedly turned the doorknob and wanted to leave.

"Who?" A cold male voice came into Mu Ningxi's ears.

Why does it seem familiar?

Before she could think too much, the other party had already walked up to Mu Ningxi. His movements were so fast that Mu Ningxi thought she had met a martial arts master.

"Why are you here?" The man grabbed Mu Ningxi and asked in a low voice behind her.

From what he said, he seemed to know me. Could it be...

At this time, Mu Ningxi remembered that this was Huo Beichen's home.

She quickly turned around and saw that the person standing behind her was indeed the person she imagined. Mu Ningxi immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"I ask you, why are you here?" Seeing that Mu Ningxi did not respond, Huo Beichen continued to ask.

After coming back to her senses, Mu Ningxi responded, "I had dinner with Jingjing. Your mother called and said that Zihao locked himself in the room. Jingjing asked me to go with her to check it out, and then Zihao asked me to stay with him."

"You said Zihao wants you to stay with him?" Huo Beichen couldn't believe what Mu Ningxi said.

His nephew has been shutting himself off from the public since his sister and brother-in-law passed away. Apart from Jingjing, who can talk to him for a few words, he almost ignores anyone at home, not even his uncle.

"Of course, would I lie to you?" Seeing Huo Beichen questioning her words, Mu Ningxi got a little angry and shook off her hand that Huo Beichen was holding.

Realizing that he had said the wrong thing, Huo Beichen quickly explained: "It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that you probably know about Zihao's situation. I'm surprised by his attitude towards you."

That's more or less.

Huo Beichen's explanation made Mu Ningxi feel a little better.

"I want to go back. What if Zihao wakes up in the middle of the night and can't see me? He will think I'm lying to him." Thinking of Zihao's previous distrust of her, Mu Ningxi didn't want to stay any longer.

Moreover, it felt quite awkward to be alone with Huo Beichen at this time and under such circumstances.

Huo Beichen nodded and did not try to persuade him to stay.

"Ah!" The next second, Mu Ningxi's scream rang out in Huo Beichen's room.

She left in such a hurry that she forgot to open the door. Her head hit the door hard and she felt like crying in pain.

"Mu Ningxi, is there anything wrong?" Huo Beichen asked as he turned on the wall lamp beside him.

The lights in the room suddenly came on, and Huo Beichen could see clearly that Mu Ningxi had a small bump on her forehead.

Why are you so squeamish?

Huo Beichen complained in his heart, but he did not stop his hands. He picked up Mu Ningxi and walked towards the bed.

"Don't move. I'll get some ice to massage you." Huo Beichen warned in a deep voice after placing Mu Ningxi on the bed.

Mu Ningxi watched him take out ice cubes from the refrigerator not far away and walk towards her.

Rich people are different. They all have refrigerators in their bedrooms.

Mu Ningxi sighed silently in her heart.

Bending down, Huo Beichen gently placed the ice on Mu Ningxi's forehead. The sudden chill made her hiss.

Huo Beichen glanced at her without saying a word, and increased the strength of his hands.

Seeing the dissatisfaction in Mu Ningxi's eyes, Huo Beichen explained: "Don't use more force, it won't work."

As Huo Beichen spoke, his warm breath rushed into Mu Ningxi's ears, then slowly shifted direction and all pressed onto her.

Staring blankly at Huo Beichen, Mu Ningxi forgot to breathe.

Being stared at by her like this, Huo Beichen felt his breathing become rapid.

Putting down the ice in his hand, Huo Beichen gently pinched Mu Ningxi's chin, and a light kiss fell on Mu Ningxi's lips without warning.

Mu Ningxi stared at him in amazement, her mind going blank.

Pulling Mu Ningxi closer to him, Huo Beichen increased the intensity of his kiss. When he noticed that Mu Ningxi was having difficulty breathing, he finally let her go.

"I, I want to go back. I don't know if Zihao is awake or not." Mu Ningxi felt that her words were a little incoherent.

Huo Beichen nodded and watched her leave.

How long has it been since I had such a reaction? Why can't I help myself when facing her?

After Mu Ningxi left, Huo Beichen calmed down. He couldn't find a reasonable reason for his behavior just now.

He thought that after breaking up with that person, he would not fall in love with other women. This has indeed been the case over the years. Every time he went to a nightclub with his friends, no matter what kind of beauty he faced, Huo Beichen never fell in love.

Everyone who knows him says that he is a love-sick man who will only fall in love with one woman in his life.

But why did he feel emotional when facing Mu Ningxi tonight?

Thinking back to the kiss just now, Huo Beichen felt a surge of heat in his heart. He quickly walked into the bathroom and took a cold shower to let the heat go away.

She is my wife. If nothing unexpected happens, she will live with me for the rest of her life. It is normal to have feelings for her. After all, we can't be a sexless couple for the rest of our lives.

Even if I am willing, she probably won't be willing.

Lying on the bed, Huo Beichen was thinking of reasons for his reckless behavior.

That was her first kiss, how could Huo Beichen treat her like that.

Lying back on the bed, Mu Ningxi couldn't sleep anymore.

After being with Meng Tianbo for so long, apart from simply holding hands, they hadn't even kissed each other. This might be the reason why he betrayed her.

After all, there is no man who doesn't want to have more intimate actions with his fiancée.

But the death of her parents left a shadow in Mu Ningxi's heart. She was destined not to be calm when facing Meng Tianbo. This might be the reason why she was unwilling to have further intimacy with him.

It was not until 4 a.m. that Mu Ningxi slowly closed her eyes.

At 7 o'clock in the morning, the alarm clock woke Mu Ningxi up from her sleep.

Although she didn't want to, she still struggled to get up. After all, it was not good to get up too late in someone else's house. Besides, she had to take a taxi to work soon, and if she left home too late, she would be late.

This place is too far from the company, so annoying!

While putting on her clothes, Mu Ningxi complained in her heart.

"Miss Mu, come over and have breakfast." Hearing Mu Ningxi's footsteps coming down the stairs, Zhu Jingya came out of the restaurant and greeted her.

Feeling a little flattered, Mu Ningxi smiled faintly at Zhu Jingya with gratitude and walked quickly to her side.

The two walked into the restaurant. Mu Ningxi saw Huo Beichen sitting at the dining table. Her memory of last night came back to her and her face suddenly turned red.

Huo Beichen glanced towards Mu Ningxi, his gaze paused on her forehead for half a second, then moved away.

Mu Ningxi touched her forehead and found that the bump had become smaller. It couldn’t be seen unless you got close.

This touch reminded Mu Ningxi of the kiss last night, and her face became even redder.

"Ms. Mu, are you not feeling well?" Zhu Jingya, who was sitting next to her, stared at Mu Ningxi's increasingly red face with a look of concern.

Mu Ningxi shook her head and explained hurriedly: "I'm fine, thank you for your concern, Auntie."

"If I have to thank someone, I should thank you. Thank you for staying to take care of Zihao." Zhu Jingya responded with a smile.

"Why thank her? This is what she should do." Huo Beichen said indifferently from the side.
