The inside of the car was so quiet that if you dropped a needle, you would hear it touching the floor.

Ning Meng slowly turned her head stiffly and saw the burning pa.s.sion in the man's eyes—it was like a silent invitation from him.

Oh, no. Actually, he had indeed opened his mouth and invited her in earlier.

Ning Meng's eyes glittered in fervor as her face blushed bright red.

Lowered her head, a hint of shyness lingered in her beautiful eyes. Seeing her look so uncomfortably bashful in her seat, Huo Beichen gazed at her even more pa.s.sionately.

His gaze...it was so foxy and seductive. After struggling to find the right words, Huo Beichen finally opened his mouth to make another excuse.

"Come on. At least come and meet Little Tiantian, will you? It misses you so much..."

After pondering for some time, Ning Meng finally nodded her head. "Then, let's go?"

A smile was quickly carved upon Huo Beichen's lips. He swiftly unfastened his safety belt and got down from the car, walking swiftly to the driver's seat to open the car for his lady, and yet...

Click!

The door was locked.

As he stared at the locked door in disbelief, Ning Meng stepped on the gas pedal and sped out of the villa at full speed in her Pink Maserati.

"...!"

Huo Beichen was stunned and stood in front of his gate for a full minute before his phone vibrated in his pocket. It was a voice message from Ning Meng.

"Lord Chen, perhaps I'll visit Little Tiantian next time, okay? I hafta go now! Tata!"

After staring at his phone numbly for a moment, Huo Beichen put a hand on his forehead and burst into laughter. 

It couldn't be helped, this girl had been overwhelmed with embarra.s.sment.

It was strange. She had teased him mercilessly back then, almost as though she did not know what shame was.

He pulled himself together and gazed in the direction where the Pink Maserati had been earlier. A short while later, he finally walked into his villa. 

As soon as he opened the front door, Little Tiantian sped straight toward him.

After petting Little Tiantian's head for a while, Huo Beichen sat on his sofa in a good mood.

Picking up his phone, he saw Su Ye's message in the "Is Missus Coming Home" WeChat Group.

Su Ye: [Boss, is the Missus coming home tonight?]

Huo Beichen: [No.]

Fei Bai, who had just recently been added back into the Group: [Then, let's kill her.]

In less than a second, he seemed to have remembered something and deleted that message, however, it was too late...

System: [Fei Bai has been kicked out of the Group]

Qi Shan: [Lmao. Fei Bai is so stupid! Always wanting to kill that stupid woman. Well, sure, that stupid woman is such a low-cla.s.s hoe that she's too good for my boss, yet, you think Boss would let you off lightly if you talked behind her back?]

2 seconds later...

System: [Qi Shan has been kicked out of the Group]

"...!!!"

Qi Shan was shocked!

Su Ye: [...]

A minute later, both Qi Shan and Fei Bai were added back in by Su Ye.

As soon as they were allowed into the Group again, both of them did a complete 180, as though their survival instinct levels had gone off the charts.

Qi Shan: [Boss, I promise I'll never call the missus "stupid woman" ever again. Yes, the missus is the best girl! She's the best waifu material in the world! Sobs! Please don't be mad, boss!]

Fei Bai: [Let's not kill her.]

Su Ye: [...]

Su Ye: [Boss, I've compiled 32 ways of courting a lady into a guide. I'll email the PDF file to you now.]

Huo Beichen: [No. There's no need to.]

Su Ye: [?]

Qi Shan: [?]

Fei Bai: [?]

Ignoring their confusion, Huo Beichen put his phone aside and stood up to get dog food for Little Tiantian. As Little Tiantian was chowing down its meal, Huo Beichen rubbed its head with his big hand. "Little Tiantian, do you miss your 'daddy'?"

Little Tiantian raised its head and let out a few whimpers, rubbing its huge head onto Huo Beichen's leg.

Patting the dog's back, Huo Beichen closed his eyes and said, "Back then, she was the one who was wooing me. Now, it's my turn to woo her. Right?"
