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

The evidence was destroyed quite quickly.

Staring at Mu Ningxi's hurriedly leaving back, Huo Beichen thought to himself.

While Huo Beichen was daydreaming, Mu Ningxi was washing dishes in the kitchen while thinking about her own things.

It's not a good idea to let him continue to have a fever like this. We should persuade him to go to the hospital. Otherwise, let A Kun take him back.

The villa halfway up the mountain has everything and is more suitable for him than my place.

But what if he doesn't want to?

Mu Ningxi slowed down her speed in washing dishes. It took her a full twenty minutes to wash two sets of dishes.

When he returned to the living room, Mu Ningxi had already thought of a temporary solution.

"Mr. Huo, since you can't take medicine and don't want to go to the hospital, just use a fever-reducing patch. That should help reduce your fever." In the kitchen, Mu Ningxi remembered that she had a few fever-reducing patches left from the one she bought when she had a fever before.

There won't be any side effects from using a fever-reducing patch, so Huo Beichen shouldn't refuse it, right?

"That's something for kids, I don't need it." Thinking of the thing Zheng Zihao often used to stick on his face when he had a fever, Huo Beichen instinctively refused.

As the president of Huo Group, it is really beneath his status to stick something like that on his forehead.

Also, it's too ugly.

"Who said that it can only be used by children? Adults can use it as well. I used it when I had a fever before, and it worked very well."

Mu Ningxi strongly disagreed with Huo Beichen's fallacy. As she spoke, she walked towards Huo Beichen with a fever-reducing patch in her hand.

Looking at the thing in Mu Ningxi's hand, Huo Beichen instinctively stepped back, but there was a sofa backrest behind him and Huo Beichen had nowhere to retreat.

Standing in front of Huo Beichen, Mu Ningxi bent down slightly, gently placed the torn fever-reducing patch on his forehead, and then slowly smoothed out the area where it was not firmly stuck.

Seeing Mu Ningxi's focused look, Huo Beichen's hands involuntarily moved closer to her waist.

"Okay, the fever should go away soon." Mu Ningxi's voice brought Huo Beichen back to his senses, and he put his hands down calmly.

Why do I impulsively want to hug her every time I get close to her?

Looking at Mu Ningxi who was standing in front of him and observing him, Huo Beichen thought to himself.

"Why do you know martial arts?" In order to resolve his inner impulse, Huo Beichen asked and diverted attention.

Mu Ningxi walked over to sit opposite Huo Beichen and spoke slowly:

"After my parents passed away, my grandfather found someone to secretly teach me martial arts, saying that it would help me protect myself. Now, from the time I first came into contact with martial arts to now, it has been almost 16 years."

After a pause, Mu Ningxi continued, "At that time, I couldn't understand grandpa's good intentions, and I kept blaming him for making me suffer. Now that I think about it, grandpa's decision was right."

"Knowing a little martial arts can indeed help you protect yourself, especially in the current situation."

Mu Ningxi didn't say it explicitly, but Huo Beichen knew very well that Mu Yuande's family was targeting Mu Ningxi everywhere, and they wanted to use her to help them gain various benefits.

In such a situation, knowing a little martial arts can generally help you protect yourself.

But thinking of Mu Ningxi's reckless behavior tonight, Huo Beichen felt that knowing martial arts was not a good thing for Mu Ningxi.

In this tangled mood, Huo Beichen opened his mouth and rebuked: "Your grandfather asked you to learn martial arts for self-protection, not for you to show off your strength."

Understanding what Huo Beichen was referring to, Mu Ningxi lowered her head and said softly, "I know that my behavior today was very reckless and I didn't consider the consequences. I promise that I won't do this again in the future."

"I hope you can keep your word." Hearing Mu Ningxi's sincerity, Huo Beichen couldn't blame her too much and could only reply lightly.

Mu Ningxi looked at him and nodded heavily.

Mu Ningxi is really scared now. She will never do such an impulsive and reckless thing again.

"Mr. Huo, how is Jingjing doing?" The two were silent for a few seconds, and Mu Ningxi asked.

"With Zhao Yu by her side, you don't need to worry." Huo Beichen said firmly.

Zhao Yu's medical skills are beyond doubt. Seeing how nervous he was about Jingjing before, he will definitely take good care of Jingjing and she really doesn't need to worry.

As they were talking, Mu Ningxi glanced at the wall clock. It was almost 11 o'clock. Why hadn't Huo Beichen left yet?

Is he waiting for A Kun to come pick him up?

Seeing Mu Ningxi looking at the wall clock, Huo Beichen felt a little uncomfortable. Do you really want to drive me away?

Huo Beichen was about to speak when his cell phone suddenly rang.

After taking a look at the incoming call number, Huo Beichen stood up, walked to the window and answered the phone.

"Stinky boy, why haven't you come back yet so late?" A strong tenor voice came from the phone.

The other party's voice was so loud that even Mu Ningxi, who was sitting on the sofa, could hear it.

Seeing Mu Ningxi looking in his direction, Huo Beichen covered the receiver tightly and said calmly: "I'm out of town and can't go back for the time being."

"I thought you knew that an old man like me was at your house and was hiding there on purpose and didn't want to come back." After hearing what Huo Beichen said, the person on the other side responded.

"How could I hide from you?" The headache that had just eased started again because of this phone call. Huo Beichen closed his eyes helplessly and answered.

"Why are you hiding from me? You know it very well. Are you planning to get away with it like this and don't want to give me a reasonable explanation?" the person on the other end of the phone asked back.

The veins on Huo Beichen's forehead were exposed. After a few seconds of silence, he spoke calmly, "When I finish the work at hand, I will go back to the old house and give you a reasonable explanation."

"Don't fool me, kid." The person on the other end of the phone obviously didn't believe Huo Beichen's statement.

Huo Beichen was speechless. Just as he was about to open his mouth to explain, he heard the person on the other end of the phone continue, "I will be staying in the villa halfway up the mountain during this period of time and spend time with my good great-grandson. I'm waiting for your reasonable explanation."

After saying that, he hung up the phone without waiting for Huo Beichen to speak.

Holding the hung up phone, Huo Beichen sighed softly.

Mu Ningxi looked at Huo Beichen and felt his face begin to turn from red to white. Could it be that the fever-reducing patch was really so effective that it could reduce the fever so quickly?

Huo Beichen returned to the sofa and just sat down. Before he could say anything, his cell phone rang again.

Looking at the incoming call number, Huo Beichen pressed the answer button hard. Then, Huo Beichen's cold voice rang out in the living room: "Why didn't you notify me in advance?"

"Master, it's not that I don't want to inform you, but the old man sent someone to keep an eye on me and didn't let me call you. I'm going to the bathroom now, so I have the chance to call you."

On the other end of the phone, A Kun spoke in a low voice.

Huo Beichen pondered for a few seconds and quickly instructed: "I said I'm out of town on business and won't be back for a while. Find a chance to go to Yinghua Road and get me some change of clothes to bring to Huainan Road."

"Okay, young master, I also said that you had something to do outside and would not be in the capital in the near future." A Kun responded in a low voice and hung up the phone.

Coming to Huainan Road to get some clean clothes, doesn't Huo Beichen plan to leave?

On the side, Mu Ningxi had a bad feeling when she heard the conversation between Huo Beichen and A Kun.

Without waiting for Mu Ningxi to ask, Huo Beichen looked at her and said seriously, "I plan to stay with you for a few days and recuperate."
